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.

  • Templates without Dreamweaver

    I'm trying to use the new Contribute CS4 to see if I can
    build and use templates for client websites without the use of
    Dreamweaver. This is probably a very elementary question, but can
    this be done and if so could I get a little jump start on
    methodology?
    It seems that the default in a template is that no region is
    editable except those around which the "editable tags" are used. I
    can't seem to make that work that way.... One moment while I get
    this egg off my face..:-)
    Greatly appreciated:
    Ray

    I don't know how you got Contribute to accepr this template.
    It should give an error message cause your code has a major error
    in it. I think you copied you source from a page that was generated
    from a Dreamweaver template either by Contribute or Dreamweaver.
    This will not work, cause there is code added to the html file that
    is created from a template to recognize this page as being created
    by using that certain template.
    You should remove the next code:
    <!--TemplateInfo.codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="True"-->
    from your template.
    Safe the file as name_template.dwt!
    Upload the file to the server an place it in a root folder
    named /Templates.
    When you generate a page from the template you posted,
    without that particular removed wrong code the page will look like
    this:
    <!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">
    <!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/template3.dwt"
    codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
    charset=utf-8" />
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->
    <title>test</title>
    <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
    <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
    </head>
    <body>
    Let's have some text that's not editable.<br />
    <br />
    And also a non editable image.<br />
    <br />
    <img src="logo.jpg" ALT="logo" /><br /><br
    />
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="EditRegion3" -->
    Now is the time for all very good men to come to the aid of
    their country
    <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->

    <!-- InstanceEnd --></html>

  • 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:
    <!-- #BeginTemplate "/Templates/test.dwt" -->
    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....

  • 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?
    issuenite

    > Why does photohshop even provided a slicing feature if
    it does not provide
    > good code?
    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.
    > What is better about Fireworks? I have the program but
    have never used
    > it.
    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.

  • Missing templates in Dreamweaver CC

    I am in classes for Web Page Design, which comes with the Dreamweaver software. I have not received the software from my school yet, so I began using the Adobe Creative Cloud. My problem is, in Dreamweaver CC, I am missing a template I need. I need the 2 column fixed, left sidebar template that does not show up in my template list.
    How can I get the Dreamweaver templates into Dreamweaver CC?

    When you go through the document you will see <header> and <footer>. Remove the whole element between the opening and the closing tags as in
    <header>
      <a href="#"><img src="" alt="Insert Logo Here" width="180" height="90" id="Insert_logo" style="background-color: #C6D580; display:block;" /></a>
    </header>
    and
    <footer>
      <p>This footer contains the declaration position:relative; to give Internet Explorer 6 hasLayout for the footer and cause it to clear correctly. If you're not required to support IE6, you may remove it.</p>
      <address>
        Address Content
      </address>
    </footer>
    After having done that, view the result in a browser and you will notice that you have lost the background colour of the article classed as content. To fix that, add a background to content (near line 67) as in
    .content {
        padding: 10px 0;
        width: 780px;
        float: right;
        background: #FFFFFF;

  • How Do I Import A Photoshop CS4 Template into Dreamweaver CS4

    Ok. Here's the deal, my friend and I spent alot of time working in Photoshop to come up with a nice template. He's even done all the coding to animate the buttons for standard, hover over, and click and all that. It's really cool, the buttons slide back and "lock" into place dependent upon which page you're on. However, I want to take all of that information and plug it into my website without loosing the button functionality. Unfortunately, every time I try to put the photoshop web template into Dreamweaver, it always converts it into an image. So, how do I add my complete photoshop web template and all it's functionality into Dreamweaver?

    I'm afraid Photoshop is a graphics program ill suited for generating good HTML and CSS code.  Use Photoshop to create your images only. Use DW to build your HTML, CSS and menus.
    Have a look at this tutorial:

  • Problem with templates in Dreamweaver...

    I'm using Dreamweaver 8 and here is my dilema... Originally I
    had my
    template named something different. I changed the name of the
    template and
    now my other pages that run off that template wont work
    because of this
    code...
    <html><!-- InstanceBegin
    template="/Templates/index2.dwt"
    codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
    <head>
    I obviously changed the name of the template so it is no
    longer index2.dwt.
    The problem is is that this code doesn't actually show up in
    the template
    itself it shows up in the pages that are using that template.
    I want to
    know how I go about changing this bit of code in all my pages
    that use the
    template without having to do it by hand. There must be an
    easy way?
    Thanks!

  • Can anyone recommend a good tutorial on how to use pre-designed website templates in Dreamweaver? Thks

    I am fairly new to Dreamweaver (cs6), having previously designed and maintained a few sites using Freeway. I purchased a template from TemplateMonster.com in the hope that this would simplify the creation of a new site. The template came without any instructions other than how to unzip the file. Their helpline really isn't helpful at all. Can anyone recommend an online tutorial on how to use a predesigned template? Lynda.com doesn't have one. Thanks!

    I found this page :
    http://www.templatemonster.com/dreamweaver-templates.php
    Followed a link. Ended up here :

  • PLEASE HELP - Problem with 2 column fixed template in Dreamweaver CS3

    I am trying to create a website using the 2 column fixed, right sidebar, header and footer html template in Dreamweaver CS3.  I tried putting a picture in the right side bar as well as with in the main content or left portion of the page, and neither picture is showing up when I view it in any of the browsers I'm using.
    I've made some minor changes in colors and sizing, but other than that no other changes.  The pic I put in for the header is showing up just fine though.
    Any help or advice to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!!

    Here is the base Dreamweaver code including the pic references that I'm trying to show on either side - when the browser opens, it only shows a blank space where the pics should be... let me know what you think.  Thanks!!

  • Updating Templates in Dreamweaver with a Contribute managed site?

    My company sited up a site for one of our clients using Dreamweaver. We created templates with update sidebar, header and such if needed to. The client uses Contribute to manage the main content sections and create new pages.
    I have the site saved locally on my computer. Make the changes to the template which updates the all the pages linked to it but when I upload them it overwrites the content the clients has made.
    What is the best way update the templates in Dreamweaver without over-writing the main content parts of the the client had made with Contribute?

    Before you make any changes, perform a Get (down arrow icon in the Files menu) operation to download any client-updated files first. That way, your local files will be exact duplicates of what the client has placed on the server. After verifying you have the most recent versions, make your change and upload.

  • Dreamweaver template / having trouble seeing the previews

    I am designing a website, using Dreamweaver for the first
    time, and I would like to ask your advice.
    Do you know how to apply a dreamweaver template to other html
    pages. I have having trouble seeing the previews in the local
    browser. For examples, when I preview an html page, that has the
    template included, I see the page OK. But when I click to go to
    another page with the sample template, the new page shows up, but
    without the template design included.

  • 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?

  • Tutorial on Dreamweaver templates?

    I am fairly new to Dreamweaver (cs6), having previously designed and maintained a few sites using Freeway. I purchased a template from TemplateMonster.com in the hope that this would simplify the creation of a new site. The template came without any instructions other than how to unzip the file. Their helpline really isn't helpful at all. Can anyone recommend an online tutorial on how to use a predesigned template? Lynda.com doesn't have one. Thanks!

    Commercial Templates are often very different from Dreamweaver Templates (.dwt files) which are in fact a site management tool.   This often confuses people.
    A Dreamweaver Template is a common structure used for creating all the pages in your site.  The template has Editable Regions which you define for content that will change from page to page.  Everything outside Editable Regions like your header, footer & menus will remain consistent throughout the site. 
    http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/dreamweaver_template.asp#1
    Conversely, commercial templates from houses like Monster tend to be little more than a collection of CSS, HTML, JavaScript and image files which you must extract and save to your DW Local Site Folder.   Once you define your local site in DW (Site > New Site), you can open the HTML files in Code or Split View to add your own content.

  • Adobe dreamweaver templates

    when you download an adobe template you get the Design files which is where you find the PSD files
    You also get the publish folder which is where you find your images, your css, spry assets, and you also get 3 templates
    Ones of those templates is design from template. html
    another template design html
    and then another template  which is the dreamweaver dwt template
    which one of those three templates is the one that I have to use.
    They confuse me .

    A file that ends in the extension .dwt is a dreamweaver template.
    You can make any .html page into a Dreamweaver template. Simply go to File>Save as Template…
    Dreamweaver will create a /Templates folder where you have defined your website locally and place the template there.
    Dreamweaver will not allow you to save a template without editable regions. The way you create an editable region in a dreamweaver template is to select an area in design view and select Insert>Template Objects>Editable Region. A window will come up asking you to name the region and you should give the area a good name that you'll understand.
    Dreamweaver will insert code necessary to manage the template.
    Dreamweaver will allow you to nest templates. Don't do that.
    Dreamweaver templates allow you to create areas that are updated automatically on your website (like navigation, for instance) all throughout your website whenever you make a change to your template. The only other way to do this is to use server side includes. Dreamweaver templates make website creation, extension and management a snap.
    So, when you design a page for a website, make that page into a template, define the areas you want to be able to change on every page as editable regions and let Dreamweaver do the heavy lifting whenever you need to change something site-wide.

  • CSS Template in Dreamweaver, cannot make flash(swf) show ???

    Hi all,
    I'm quite new at using dreamweaver, have been using GoLive
    some before and I have got a time consuming problem:
    To try to get a hang of CSS page designs I've used the Page
    Design (CSS) Halo Right nav that comes with DW8.
    I've learnt pretty much how it works BUT, I cannot make a
    flash file visible when inserted to the page design ????
    It does not show if I insert it to an existing div tag or if
    I insert it in a new layer. What am I doing wrong ?
    (same goes for images)
    Need help quickly.
    Thanks!

    This is one of the several weird problems with the HALO
    layout.
