Dreamweaver template removes swf when updated

Everthing was working great, then I update the index pagewith the temp. and the swf banner disappeared.
I can't seem to get it back, after viewing the temp. in a browser it's there.
I've done these a million times and this is the first time this has happened.
Any one know what is going on?

You may want to provide a link to the problem page - it's the only way people can really help and that's by looking at the code.

Dreamweaver CC 2014 crashes when updating site cache

Hi everyone,
I'm using Dreamweaver CC 2014 on the Mavericks operating system for mac. Dreamweaver attempts to update a site cache for one of my sites but then it pauses for a few minutes and then crashes. I thought it could have been a corrupted cache file so I deleted the MacFileCache-********.dat file inside the Dreamweaver configuration folder but this didn't work. I tested again and I got the same result.
I just wondered if anyone has had this problem or whether there's a workaround?
Appreciate any advice.

I do have one workaround that worked for MOST of my folders. It is NOT the best option--but it helped me get a little more of my website recognized. (This is working on a mac with the latest version of Mavericks. Who knows WHAT Yosemite will do!)
I dragged my biggest folders out of the larger 'site' folder and on to the desktop. I ignored them and just began with the dreamweaver site manager--creating my site by pointing to the first few folders that had been listed under 'site'. Then, I added the folders on the desktop a few at a time. It worked until I got to a larger, complicated folder...then it froze again. I worked on this all day-- and I'm done for now. But I'm not giving up. With Adobe, there is always a good outcome. Sometimes, it just takes a little longer.
If I get all the kinks out, I'll let you know. Meantime, the more people who ask the question, perhaps the more likely it is to get a little help.
THANKS.

ASP getting removed when updating Template

Hello,
I have a strange problem I can seem to find an answer for.
I'm using Dreamweaver Templates, and on some of my individual pages I am also using ASP code for contact forms.
In theory this code is outside the template and shouldn't be removed when I do a template update because codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked is set to false.
The bolded line of code is the ASP code on my child pages, and everytime I update the template this line of code gets removed. It seems that if I remove the @ symblo the code doesn't get removed. But I don't think it's valid ASP anymore.
<%@ Page Language="C#" CodeFile="default.aspx.cs" Inherits="contactform" ResponseEncoding="utf-8" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Now when I run an update on my main template, and check my child page, the ASP code will be removed.
The strange thing is that if I use placeholder text instead, it won't be stripped/removed out of the template.
The pain is I have about 10 pages (for now) to add this line to everytime I update the template, which is actually happening more and more now.
Does anyone know why this particular ASP code gets removed any time I update my Main template?
Thanks,
M
/edit: It seems that if I remove the @ from this line, I can the code to "stick" and not be removed.

If I understand correctly, Dreamweaver will treat the area outside the HTML as an editable region when codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked is set to false?
If my maintemplate has this code: /Templates/mainTemplate.dwt
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

And my child page has this code: /products/index.php
<%@ Page Language="C#" ContentType="text/html" CodeFile="default.aspx.cs" inherits="contactform" ResponseEncoding="utf-8" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Theoretically now when I update the mainTemplate.dwt Dreamweaver shouldn't strip this code out. Correct?
If this being correct, when I use Dreamweaver and update the mainTemplate.dwt it strips this editable region out of the child pages. This is not excepted result, I was excepting that Dreamweaver to leave this code alone in its editable region.
Thanks in advance David,
-M.

How do you turn off the "Update Template Files" dialog when saving a template in Dreamweaver?

As the title states I'd like to not have to see the "Update Template Files" dialog when saving a template. I'm not sure what its purpose is other than to annoy as it does not seem to do anything -- selecting update, don't update, any combination of files and or hitting escape appears not to make any difference wrt wheter it updates the pages or not (it does every time).
Any help will be appreciated.

The "more like this" window gave me the answers. No current ability to turn off. I've submitted a request to add this feature.

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.

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.

Dreamweaver template file (.dwt) updates related files but not file time stamp

I updated a bunch of dreamweaver template files, and allowed dreamweaver to update the affected files in the site.
The file were all checked out, and they were updated.
However, the timestamp of the files did not update.
Now, when I synchronise with my server, it doesn't see these files as being "new".
Any way I can get these to update the timestamp without manually finding and pushing all of them?
Using Dreamweaver CS5 V. 11.0 Build 4993

This is certainly an odd symptom, and one I have not heard of before. If you just create a new 'dummy' child page from this template and leave it local (i.e., don't check it in), when you do an update does that timestamp change?

Need Help Reslicing Photoshop Site Layout to Update Dreamweaver Template

I created a website in adobe photoshop cs3 and sliced it up
to created an html file with sliced images. My main navigation menu
is made up of graphics.
I brought it into dreamweaver and created editable regions,
created rollovers etc. Then I created a dreamweaver template from
that to create the rest of the web pages for my site.
The client has come back to me and wants to add more menu
options to the site. This is where I'm stuck! When I use photoshop
to make more menu slices, it renumbers them. How do I export the
new slices with the new layout so I can use them to update my
dreamweaver template. How can I get those new slices/html layout to
the dreamweaver template without losing all the work I have done on
my current dreamweaver template?

> Why does photohshop even provided a slicing feature if
it does not provide

The slicing is not the problem. It's the export as HTML that
is the
problem. And you'd have to ask Adobe that question if you
want an answer.
We are all just volunteer peers here.

FW HTML is no better.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/why_fireworks.html
At any rate, read this -
http://apptools.com/rants/spans.php
- and then look
at your code and count colspan, and rowspan attributes.
Unfortunately, the
only way to avoid this mess is to learn enough HTML/CSS that
you can build
your own tables in DW, and do it in such a way that you don't
rely on
merging and splitting cells (which is what generates those
colspan and
rowspan attributes).
Again, unfortunately, you are REALLY stuck in a bad
situation. Since you
have a) used a completely graphic menu button array, and b)
used a graphic
background behind the menu buttons, and c) chosen to embed
that graphic
background in each sliced button, you cannot add new buttons
without
remaking the entire menu. You will only make that mistake
once. I never
start building menus until I have an approved site plan in
hand. By the
way, that's a nice looking layout.
I don't see any clear path to salvation here. Since you are
absolutely tied
to PS for exporting the HTML and slices, you will have to
recreate
everything, I believe.

Dreamweaver template to update file other than html?

Hi,
I am using Dreamweaver CS4 to manage my website.
The problem is i cannot get Dreamweaver to update my .tpl (php template)
Any idea?
Thanks

Thanks,
I finally figure it out how to get if fix.
May be i should say it clear, i use dreamweaver template which is a dwt file to update all html pages in my website.
But some of the file i use which is tpl extension (the same as html file but with template variables). The dreamweaver
did not recognize it. The page did not show up when i make changes in dwt file.
Then what i do is change the "configuration" > "DocumentTypes", so that dreamweaver recognize tpl as a type of html file.
After that i change extension.txt file also. Rebuild site cache. And now its done.

Dreamweaver Template files not updating other files

I took over a website and the site uses Dreamweaver Templates. I'm not too familiar with the way that Templates works. Anyway, the nav (links at bottom of website) need to be updated. I updated the secondary.dwt file within the Templates folder. I uploaded it, but it's not updating the pages on the website that use this template file. Please help!

When you update the template from within DW, you should get a dialog asking if you want to update all of the files that use the template. When you click "OK" everything is updated across the site.
If you updated the template outside of the defined site, it won't update anything and you may have a bit of work on your hands.
In DW, you should have a Files tab with a drop down menu. The drop down menu should have all of your defined sites. Choose the site you are working on and a list of the files in that site will appear. Choose the template and make your changes and it will ask if you want to update everything else.

Dreamweaver templates not updating *.php file

Hello everyone,
I have been given an exisiting website to update that uses
Dreamweaver templates.
I have made the changes successfully within the content.dwt
file, saved it, and then uploaded both the new content.dwt file and
the related *.htm pages that were linked to it.
After going to the website to double check the new pages I
found a *.php file that uses the same template, content.dwt, but it
never asked to update that particular file.
So, I opened the *.php file in Dreamweaver and tried to apply
changes from the content.dwt file to it using: Templates - Update
current page, but no such luck. Since there is no code at the start
of this file like the other *.htm files how do I "connect" it with
the newly updated template. I tried making a small change on the
content.dwt file so see what files would come up in the "do you
wish to update..." list but for some reason the *.php file is not
there.
Perhaps the answer is fairly obvious to someone who has
worked with Templates a lot but since I have just started working
with templates I still have a large knowledge gap in this area.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Mr Zedd

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

Dreamweaver template update freezes on Mac

Hi all,
I hope someone can help me only I am running Dreamweaver CS5.5 on an iMac (Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2) and when I go to save a template I get the usual 'update all files linking to that template' window but when I click update nothing happens and I get left with the option to stop or close. If I re-start the program it works again for a while then it happens again. Is this a known bug or is there something wrong with my software?
I have been using Dreamweaver for several years now and I'm not doing anything different to what I usually do.
Cheers

If that doesn't work, try creating a new user account on the computer to see if it works.

(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
