Dreamweaver Template alignment Issue

I am using Dreamweaver 8, i have created a template with my
background image, my menu, and an outter table to align my content.
I have entered new content in one of the pages that I have applied
the template to, and now all of it is shifted to the right over my
background image, causing the text to be unreadable. It is is
shifting the outter table that i created in the template. I thought
that content in the template was not able to be changed with in the
pages?
Has anyone came across this problem before? It is so
flustrating. I am wondering if there is a tag that I have left out
or put in to many, but i went through the code and didnt see any
problems.
Please any suggestions????

Template markup cannot control your page layout. If you are
seeing layout
changes in a template child page, it is because of the basic
HTML on the
page, NOT because of the template intervention.
Can you show us the page?

Dreamweaver Template/Contribute Issue

I have a template created in Dreamweaver that has a bunch of
CFINCUDES in it. When you view the page in Contribute, the page
renders just fine but when you go to edit mode, a bunch of little
yellow CF icons show up for each CFINCLUDE. I know that this isn't
going to fly and we are supposed to be demoing Contribute to staff
tomorrow. What do I need to do in order for them to render in edit
mode or is that not happening? They are not in sections of the
template that people can edit.

From my experience, you can't. I use PHP in my pages and it
just turns them into little PHP yellow icons, the same as it would
in dreamweaver.

RTF Template Alignment issue

Hi
We created a RTF Template.The Template contains the following hierarchy.
First it displays the Manufacturer name:
then the list of ModelTypes
The Column heading is date.So for each week we will divided as a group.so we will get first weekdata,second week
data like that.Totally we are having 13 weeks.
Now the Problem is for each model we will get 28 rows of data.
I want to print two models/page(Number of rows are not equal in all cases because if new manufacturer start then one row is increased).In the output(pdf) i am getting the first model perfectly for the second model
i am getting the last row in the next page.similarly for the remaining pages.Total we r having a
around 150 pages.
Is there is any way to limit the page for two models data only.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi..........Thanks for reply Srini
Actually i want exactly two model details per page as per client requirement, can you please tell me how to break the page after every two models(Here for every model i don't have exact number of rows for some models i may have Manufacturer name so for this model have one extra row).
Waiting for your reply.
Thanks
Saichand.

Dreamweaver Template Issues

Heyyy,
I have been trying to set up some Dreamweaver Template files.
I have defined an editable region for the content to go in, I then create a new file using this template and start editing the page. However when I put in too much content, the editibale region doesnt flow or stretch its height to match the content. (I have attached a screenshot of DW to show that the design looks fine, but you can tell that the content overflows the editable region guidelines)
This isn't a problem in any browser apart from IE7 (which I have attached a screenshot of to show you what is happening) where the content doesn't display properly.
I was just wondering if anyone might know how to correct this issue? If I need to provide any more details, code or screenshots it would be great if you could let me know. And thanks for any help offered!
Cheers,
Ezra

Ezra-The best thing you can do to get help on this is put that page out there on a web server and provide a link. That will give the very helpful people here all the resouces needed to view what might be causing your problem. If you don't do this, it's just a guessing game that really nobody wants to play.

Alignment Issues between dreamweaver and browser

Hi
Hoping someone can help, i'm trying to learn how to make
better sites with advanced tools like apDIV's but seem to be
running into an alignment issue. When I make the html file in
dreamweaver I seem to have to off set the images and div tags
inorder for the site to show up aligned properly in firefox,
explorer, etc. I'm thinking there might be a problem in the actual
code causing this but am not good enough yet to find it or the
problem, any ideas or guidence would be greatly accepted. below if
the links work is the difference I see between dreamweaver and when
its launched in a browser.
DreamweaverScreen
BrowserScreen

> over a centered frame
You are not using frames - that's a table.
Yes - there's a way to do this, but it will involve your
working in code.
Make your page left aligned by removing any centering.
Then position your layer so that it is properly located over
the table.
Change this -
</head>
to this -
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper { width:760px; margin:0 auto;position:relative; }
/* 760px will display on an 800px screen maximized browser
window without */
/* horizontal scrollbars. */
</style>
</head>
(you may need to adjust this width so that it's consistent
with the width of
your centering table)
change this -
<body ...>
(the ellipsis represents any other attributes that might be
mentioned in the
body tag, and SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED EXPLICITLY!)
to this -
<body ...>
<div id="wrapper">
and this -
</body>
to this -

</div>
</body>
and see if that helps.

Dreamweaver template issue

hi, i am having trouble with a dreamweaver template. the
links in the template do not match the links in the pages i have
created using that template, in that they have a
"..template/somepage.html" whereas in the template it is just
"somepage.html". why does it do this? i have recreated the page,
reapplied the template to the page, recreated my site cache,
recreated a template and a new page and it still isn't working. ??
i am sure it is a simple answer but after reading through the
forums i am not sure what my next step should be.
thank you.

> "somepage.html".
If you have a link like that in a template file then you have
made a
mistake. You should never have links that imply other files
are at the same
folder level as the template itself. The most common cause
for this is to
manually enter the link into the template file. Don't do
that. Use the
Browse function to browse to and select the desired target
file.

Drop-down menu in Dreamweaver; template on top of template issue

Hello.
I've managed to create a drop-down menu in a dreamweaver
template by saving the .dwt file as an .html file, building the
menu, then resaving the file as the original .dwt. However, I have
another template that is based on this original template, and while
the drop-down menu appears when I preview the second template in my
browser, it refuses to apply to the pages upon which the second
template is based.
Is there a solution to this?

You are completely hosed now.
When you save a template as HTML, you leave the Template
markup in the page.
When you then resave it as a template you duplicate that
markup. You will
never be able to use this properly now. And that is
especially true with
the AWFUL DW pop-up menus in it. You just must not use these
menus with
templates. Especially since there are much better ways that
don't have any
such restrictions -
Check the uberlink and McFly tutorials at PVII
http://www.projectseven.com/)
and the Navbar tutorial at Thierry's place (
http://www.tjkdesign.com)

Dreamweaver template files updating, but javascript/jquery not being called on random pages.

Hello,
I have been tasked with updating the navigation on a site that is using a Dreamweaver template (DWT) as the base file. The navigation was originally built using jQuery navigation UI, however this did not address all of our needs and I have updated it with another version of an accordion.
The .dwt file only is only controlling the navigation and the head of the site.
I have integrated the new xhtml structure and added/removed javascript/jquery into the .dwt file. I saved the file, therefore updating all of the relevant .html files, and verified that the accordion works.
However - the accordion does not work for all of the xhtml files. Some files, seemingly at random, are not pulling in the javascript.
When opening the relevant .html files, I can verify that they have all been updated with the new xhtml and the correct javasctipt. However, when viewing the .html files that are not displaying correctly with FireBug, I can see that none of the jquery/javascript is being applied to the navigation (classes are missing that are injected into the xhtml, but the structure and css is correct).
I've done some research and the only issues I've been able to find are related to .xhtml files not being updated with the correct code, but in my case all of the affected files have the correct xhtml and scripts in the head.
Does anyone have any light to shed on this subject? I am quite puzzled.

While I understand that looking at code is the ultimate way to find a solution, the intent of my question was not "how do i fix this" or "what is wrong with my code" but rather "does anyone have any idea as to why this would be happening". Or even, "where would you start to troubleshoot this".
I made my question general as such because I intended on trying to troubleshoot on my own in order to better understand the issue.
Thank you for stating the obvious, not all first time forum posters are completely unaware of how to ask questions properly.

Highlight "current" page in CSS Dreamweaver TEMPLATE

I have created 2 navigation bars (in my header) using an unordered list styled with CSS in a Dreamweaver Template that I created. Here is that template (in the template- the "Beads" link is styled as the current page): http://www.bfranklincrafts.com/Templates/MainTemplateM.dwt
I don't want the navbars to be editable in the pages that will be created from this template, so I was NOT planning on putting the navbars in editable regions. But now I'm realizing that if I don't put the navbars in editable regions, I won't be able to go in each link in my navbars to put the "current" style for each page.
The idea of the template is wonderful because it allows us to create one template and from that template we can make changes that would be past down to all the pages that were created using this template. But if I have to put the navbars in editable regions, it means that if I have to make changes to the navbars, I'll have to go to each individual page to make those changes.
I really want to show the "current" page that visitors are on, can anyone help!!!

Hi,
sorry to bring up an old post but I am having issues with this myself and hope you can help?
I have coded my site as per your example but still no luck.
It is an .asp site. and my menu looks like this:
<ul id="nav">
    <li><a id="home" href="http://www.ampso.co.uk/index.asp"><img src="/images/nav1_gray.jpg" width="84" data-srcover="/images/nav1_full.jpg"></a></li>
    <li><a id="tech" href="http://www.ampso.co.uk/page/88/Technical.asp#.USOIoqWduS0"><img src="/images/nav4_gray.jpg" width="102" data-srcover="/images/nav4_full.jpg" class="wrap_right"></a></li>
    <li><a id="construction" href="http://www.ampso.co.uk/page/89/Construction.asp#.USOQLqWduS0"><img src="/images/nav5_gray.jpg" width="170" data-srcover="/images/nav5_full.jpg" class="wrap_right"></a></li>
    <li><a id="medical" href="http://www.ampso.co.uk/page/87/Medical.asp#.USOUeaWduS0"><img src="/images/nav3_gray.jpg" width="88" data-srcover="/images/nav3_full.jpg" class="wrap_right"></a></li>
    <li><a id="media" href="http://www.ampso.co.uk/page/90/Media.asp#.USOWQKWduS0"><img src="/images/nav6_gray.jpg" width="88" data-srcover="/images/nav6_full.jpg" class="wrap_right"></a></li>
    <li><a id="logistics" href="http://www.ampso.co.uk/page/91/Logistics.asp#.USOXdqWduS0"><img src="/images/nav7_gray.jpg" width="100" data-srcover="/images/nav7_full.jpg" class="wrap_right"></a></li>
    <li><a id="allsectors" href="http://www.paycoservices.co.uk/page/86/All-Sectors.htm"><img src="/images/nav2_gray.jpg" width="120" data-srcover="/images/nav2_full.jpg" class="wrap_right"></li>
    <li><a id="contact" href="http://www.ampso.co.uk/page/205/Welcome-to-Payco.asp#.USObtaWduS0"><img src="/images/nav9_gray.jpg" width="120" data-srcover="/images/nav9_full.jpg" class="wrap_right"></a></li>
</ul>
Now the issue arises with adding the code to the pages themselves. For example, if I go to the 'tech' page. I have no editable regions like I would with a html template (even though my main menu is in a top menu template which applies to each page) so I'm not sure exactly where to put the css code.
Currently the top section of my 'tech' page looks like this:
<%
Bodystyle = "style='background:url(/images/bg-further-technical.jpg) center 0px no-repeat;'"
%>

<div id="further-banner" style="background:url(/images/technical-icon.png) 811px 9px no-repeat; ">
<h1>Payco Technical <span>It's your industry so why not do it your way?</span></h1>
<p><b>You are here:</b>
<a href="/index.asp">Home</a> /
<a href='Payco-Technical.asp'>Payco Technical</a> /
</p>
</div>
Now do I paste the css code into here? Or would it help if you saw my whole 'tech' page so you can see the rest?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

How to add Dynamic .php content to a Dreamweaver Template

OS: Windows 7
DW Version: CS5
PHP: XAMP Local Server
I hope someone can help. I have created a Dreamweaver Template for .php and created 5 child pages of this template. Everything is in working order as far as that is concerned. Here is my problem:
I want to add some dynamic data (some categories) from a MySQL database to a nonEditable section of the main template so that it will flow to the 5 child pages. I can create a connection to the database with no problem, but when I go to insert a recordset into the template, it asks me to set up the "site", "document type" and "testing server" which I have already done. I am pretty sure that this is because it is looking at the .dwt file type and saying that it needs to be a dynamic document like .php. I have tried going through those steps, but then it just ends up renaming my .dwt file to .php and then it is no longer a template. I do not know why I cannot add dynamic data to a dreamweaver template. It seems like it should be a no-brainer, but it just isn't working out for me. In my research, I did locate the following
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Extending/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f53d610 8-7fdb.html
but wasn't completely sure how to apply it or if it only pertained to CS4 since I am using CS5. To be honest, it confused me more than it helped.
I really hope there is a logical and simple solution to this issue as I have spent a lot of time researching/testing this.
Any help/direction is greatly appreciated. I am not looking for someone to just solve my problem and am willing to dig deep to learn, I am just do not know where to go from here.
Thanks again in advance for your assistance.

Brad,
Thanks that worked! Although I will have to re-create my child pages and re-link my style sheets and scripts. But that will not be too difficult as I have not yet added any content to them and is a very small price to pay for the answer to my bigger problem. What is a bit quirky is that I did try to create a test .php template but when I saved it, DW did not automatically add the .php to the end after .dwt. but rather just named it test.php. I didn't think to just rename it since I had read that it would add it automatically so I thought I was doing something wrong.
Maybe there are settings in the preferences that will fix this. None-the-less, I can now move forward with my development thanks to your timely response. I really appreciate it.

Dreamweaver templates site authentication support

Dreamweaver templates site authentication support
Hi all, i beginning user with that app, now i´m developing an aplication for my same work this includes a web site with user authentication, at this moment i can create all web pages with authetication but i have diferent user's level access and some templates for any level, i need to add that authentication support to each template, because if i add to the template the restricted access it's not work, i think you understand my situation and sorry for my poor english.
Thanks in Advance

Is it correct that you have to "put" each page sperately? I modified a few of my pages and the only way I could get them to update on my website was to go to each page then go Site - Put, i had to do this for every page i had modified. Also my original issue has been resolved by opening each page allowing the template to update the page and then save then go Site - Put for each and repeat for every page on my site. even though all pages have been created from the same template and when the template is updated i say yes to updating all other pages. Is this how it's meant to work?
Yes.
DW Templates only propagate changes in the non-editable regions of the Template to child pages locally.
Once you've updated all child pages on your local hard drive, you must then upload them all to the web as a separate step.
That's the cumbersome downside to using DW Templates.
I don't use them personally. I prefer Server Side Includes to insert identical content sitewide on websites.

OBIEE 11g Calendar alignment issue

Facts: OBIEE 11g - 11.1.5 on Windows 2003 server.
There's an alignment issue going on with OBIEE calendar, wich happens only when the month is october. For all other months, the calendar is displayed properly. It does not depend on the year. You may change the year and select October, you'll get the error.
You might see what happens on the link below.
http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/7876/firefoxds.jpg
This behavior may occur when using IE9 (both using compatibility mode or not), Mozila Firefox and Google Chrome.
I've looked over Metalink and the forums and could not find any information about this error.
Any tips?!
Thanks!

How to setup a template to issue SHA1 certs if I have a SHA256 chain

Hi All
Can any one tell me how to setup a template to issue SHA1 certs if I have a SHA256 chain. I looked at the templates and I didn’t see where it is specified?
Puneet Singh

Certificate signature algorithm is CA-wide settings and independent from certificate templates. You have to configure your CA to use SHA1 signature:
certutil -setreg ca\csp\cnghashalgorithm sha1
net stop certsvc && net start certsvc

Dreamweaver Template Without Dreamweaver

Hi.
I'm doing an internship for the semester and the place i work is having me redesign their intranet. I'll be gone in December, and while no immediate changes will really need to be made, over time they will probably want to do something such as adding a link in the side menu...
The problem is, I don't think they use Dreamweaver--if they're using another web design program, is it possible for them to edit the dreamweaver template I've created for them?
Thanks.

Another approach is to use Server-Side Includes (text files) that contain hyperlinks, common headers & footers for example. Person responsible for updates could edit the SSI files in any html editor. Upload to server and the server would populate changes throughout the site.

Edit First line in dreamweaver templates

Hello,
When I create a page from a Dreamweaver template, a
dreamweaver comment similar to the one below will be inserted:

Each time I edit a page to add php code in the very first
line, it is removed with every template update and the source code
again starts with the dreamweaver comment. I need to add to all my
pages a php code in the very first line like this one:
<? $ob_start; $session_start; ?>
How can I do that without removing the code from my pages
with each template update. Another problem is that I can't insert a
placeholder in the very first line of a dreamweaver template. Above
that the first line is locked in dreamweaver, so that I can't
change it manually. Is there any workaround available?
Thanks,
Philip

Put the code ABOVE the <html> tag.
Which DW are you using? It looks like DW4 or earlier....
