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.

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 (

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
Hermidio

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.

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....

Flash banner in a Dreamweaver Template

Hi all,
I am using one of the provided Dreamweaver Templates (CSS).
All is fine, except that for some reason it does not like Flash
imports. I can alter the template as much as I like and it will
always successfully change across the site, BUT if I try to insert
a Flash movie/banner into the template - then it does not appear of
ANY of the site files. The only way I can see the flash banner, is
if I open the template.php file in a browser - then you can see
that it is in fact there and working - but for some reason the
other pages refuse to acknolwegde it. Images / Tables / Text - all
work fine - just not flash banners. I even tried saving the banner
as a JPG file in Flash, then sticking the JPG file in the template
where the banner should - and it worked perfectly, but as a .swf
extension it fails.
Am I missing something?
Nathan

> BUT if I try to insert a Flash movie/banner into the

> does not appear of ANY of the site files.
Because of the active content .js fix, when you insert a .swf
file into a
template, you must use a Site Root relative path for it.
Open the .dwt template file.
Double-click on the .swf in design view- the "browse to file"
dialog box
should come up showing the currently selected file.
look in the bottom of that dialog box for the pulldown to
change from
document relative path to site root relative path. Change it
to site root.
click okay and save the file, and let changes propagate.
does it show in the child files now?
[note- It may still not show during local preview because
site root relative
paths in javascript will not make any sense during local
preview- they
should work fine on the remote host if the site has it's own
domain name
though]

Email Alert Template Issue - List Alerts (Alert Me) emails not using customized XML alert template

We have recently customized the XML alerts template (AlertTemplates.xml) for our site collection in SharePoint 2010 to exclude specific fields in the email when users who have subscribed using the "Alert Me" feature. We have renamed the
custom alerts XML file and loaded the custom template in the following directory (%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML) and restarted IIS. Once users subscribe to the alerts using the list "alert me"
function they received the customized email as intended.
We needed to auto-subscribe users to the email alerts so what we did was use a powershell script to add users to the alert subscriptions using the script shown below:
Import-Csv D:\Temp\filename.csv | ForEach-Object{
$webUrl=$_.WebUrl
$listTitle=$_.List
$alertTitle=$_.AlertTitle
$subscribedUser=$_.SubscribedUser
$alertType=$_.AlertType
$deliveryChannel=$_.DeliveryChannel
$eventType=$_.EventType
$frequency=$_.Frequency
$oldAlertID=$_.ID
$web=Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$testAlert = $web.Alerts | WHERE { $_.ID -eq $oldAlertID }
IF ($testAlert) {
$web.Alerts.Delete([GUID]$oldAlertID)
Write-Host Old alert $oldAlertID deleted. -Foregroundcolor Cyan
$list=$web.Lists.TryGetList($listTitle)
$user = $web.EnsureUser($subscribedUser)
$newAlert = $user.Alerts.Add()
$newAlert.Title = $alertTitle
$newAlert.AlertType=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertType]::$alertType
$newAlert.List = $list
$newAlert.DeliveryChannels = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertDeliveryChannels]::$deliveryChannel
$newAlert.EventType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventType]::$eventType
$newAlert.AlertFrequency = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertFrequency]::$frequency
if($frequency -ne "Immediate"){
$AlertTime=$_.AlertTime
$newAlert.AlertTime=$AlertTime
$newAlert.Update()
Write-Host Created $newAlert.Title for $subscribedUser . -Foregroundcolor Cyan
} ELSE {
Write-Host Alert $alertTitle for $subscribedUser already done. Moving on. -Foregroundcolor Magenta
When we ran the script and added the users and restarted the service, all users who were auto-subscribed via this method get the email without the customizations that were done in teh custom alert template. All users who manually subscribed on their
own to the list using the "Alert Me" function would get the customized email.
Does anyone know why users who manually subscribe to the alerts get the customized email, and users who were auto-subscribed using the powershell script do not get the customized email and get the standard generic email template?

Hi ,
According to your code, it create a new alert using SPUser.Alerts.Add() method. For this method, it will create a new alert based on the predefined alert template by default.
If you only assigned the custom alert template to the list, users who manually subscribe to the alerts get the customized email, but users who were auto-subscribed using the PowerShell script get the standard
generic email template.
For your issue, you can set the new alert ‘s alert template:

Dreamweaver Templates with Web Gallery

I have built a site in dreamweaver CS4 I have used a Dreamweaver Template for my pages. Rather than clog my pages up with images I used Adobe Bridge to create a web gallery, It created a gallery ok and I saved it to my hard drive. It created two items, a resourses folder and an "index" file. So I I copied and pasted the two items into my Dreamweaver folder I created and called SS_Bridge. I pointed a link I created to point to the "index" file within the SS_Bridge Folder in Dreamweaver, Will this create a problem as there will be two "Index" files within my site
jjrutter

The "home" page index file would be at the root level of the site. Other folders within the root can all have their own index (default) files.

NEW! Free Dreamweaver templates WITH Fireworks vector files

I just released some free Dreamweaver templates that include
not only the Dreamweaver template dwt file, but also the original
pre-sliced Fireworks file with all the template graphics.
The templates include the dwt, Fireworks file, pure CSS
menus, are AdSense-ready, XHTML 1.0 valid and are very customizable
through both the Fireworks file and the CSS.
If you use one, let me know so I can get a screenshot and
post a link to your site showing how the templates have been
customized by various designers.
Cheers!
Brodit

Can you post a link to the PHP page, please? This will allow
me to see the
HTML markup on it....

DreamWeaver Template change not updating children webpages?

Hi Group,
Sorry for my newbie question here.
I loaded an HTML webpage, and saved it out as a DreamWeaver Template file.
I then created webpages from the template file (( File - New - Page From Template - Site - Template), and made sure that the "Update Page when Template Changes" check box was selected/checked.
I then created several chldren webpages, and saved them as .html files.
I decided to change the navbar system - part of the uneditiabel region in the template - by opening the template file and edit-ing that file, and then saving it as the same DreamWeaver template file.
However, the webpages did Not Update to reflect the navbar changes in the template fle !??!???
Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I believe it is something that I'm doing incorrectly with DreamWeaver ..
Here is the HTML if anyone is interested.

Additional Info:
No -I haven't been able to get the DW Template feature to work on other sites - this is my first application of it to a website (actually it's the whole reason for getting DreamWeaver... I know it works, I know that I'm doing something wrong.. I just don't know what it is...)
All the .HTML files (index.html, cad.html, cam.html, etc. etc.) are in the website's root directory.
The Template file is in its own sub-directory folder named "Templates".
Right now even the .css file is in the root directory....
Thank You for trying to help me - I greatly appreciate it.

Problem Uploading Dreamweaver Template

Hi,
I am using Dreamweaver 8, and decided to revise my website
using a Dreamweaver template. The pages look GREAT when I preview
them in Firefox or IE. But when I uploaded the home page, using an
FTP program, the page looked like a mess! None of the columns in
the template were there. The formatting is all wrong, and the links
don't work! This page is horrible! I don't understand since they
looked great in the preview. Can somebody tell me what I've done
wrong?
If you'd like to view the mess, it's at
http://www.karathecomputertutor.com
Thanks!

there's a problem with the way you've defined this site in
dreamweaver.
the link you gave is at the root level of the public hosting
for that
domain.
but the css link is:
<link rel="stylesheet"
href="../karathecomputertutor4.1/3col_leftNav.css
and the links farther down in the page also are "../
that means go up one folder level.
there is no up from the root level.
The site needs to be defined so that the "homepage" file,
index.html is at
the root level of what you've picked for the Local Site
Folder.
and, all the site files need to be in the Local Site Folder
of course.
and, the remote has to show the public level, with the
index.html file in
the root (use the "Host Directory" line in dw if your files
need to go into
a folder like "public_html" or "www" for example)
