Dreamweaver Templates are Locked

CS6
I have created some .dwt. I understand that on pages I create from the template only editable regions can be edited. However I thought if I needed to make a change to the template itself in a non editable region, I could and it would update all associated pages. The problem I am having is that my dwt files won't let me edit unless it is in an editable region and then it doesn't update associated pages. I must have done something wrong??

It is a bad thing and will come back to bite you later. It's better than you should know how to do this. I'll show you the fixed code here. Save this amended file as "whatever.html" in the root of your site, i.e., outside of the Templates folder. What I did =
1. Remove all instances of "" (obviously outside of DW)
2. Change all occurrences of "../" to null (assuming that you had saved this file as *.dwt within the /Templates folder.
3. Fixed some minor spelling errors (e.g., 'goggle', etc.)
Let us know if my going in assumptions are not correct.

Non-Dreamweaver templates for Contribute

Are there any guidelines anywhere for creating the equivalent
of Contribute editable/non-editable templates for sections of HTML
pages which were not created by Dreamweaver; for example,
guidelines on the use of  etc.?

Ian,
The Dreamweaver template system works from the standpoint of
a "deny all, allow some" mentality.
Initially a Dreamweaver template file allows no editing to
any sections. When modifying the template in Dreamweaver or any
other text editor, the addition of the begin/end editable pairs
enables the editing of any content existing within the tag pair.
If you want to create a template for use with Contribute
outside of Dreamweaver just create the file with any editable
sections you desire then change the file extension to .dwt and
place it in the "Templates" directory on your CPS managed
webserver. Any files in the "Templates" directory that end with
".dwt" will be loaded on the next startup of the Contribute client.
By default the Publisher and Writer roles allow access to all
templates in the "Templates" directory via the Contribute client.
Also, make sure that the "whatever" text mentioned by Murray
is unique to each individual editable region.
Please note that the Contribute/Dreamweaver template
interaction is *not* a run-time template system. Dreamweaver
templates are design-time templates. If you have sections of the
template that change later then those changes will need to be
applied on a page-by-page basis to each page using a given
template. This functionality is automatically handled within the
Macromedia workflow by using Dreamweaver to download the entire
site then having it update all pages that are based on a given
template.
The piece of the code that denotes which template is assigned
to a given page is as follows:

with an acompanying closing tag of:

The "InstanceBegin" tag should follow the opening html tag
and the "InstanceEnd" tag should precede the closing html tag.
The important piece of the "InstanceBegin" tag is the value
of the "template" attribute. This needs to be the path to the
specific template file relative to the webroot on the server.
Hope this helps.

Service template problem - Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job - ID 2606

Hello,
I’ve finally managed to deploy my first guest cluster with a shared VHDX using a service template.
So, I now want to try and update my service template. However, whenever I try to do anything with it, in the services section, I receive the error:
Unable to perform the job because one or more of the selected objects are locked by another job. To find out which job is locking the object, in the jobs view, group by status, and find the running or cancelling job for the object. ID 2606
Well I tried that and there doesn’t seem to be a job locking the object. Both the cluster nodes appear to be up and running, and I can’t see a problem with it at all. I tried running the following query in SQL:
SELECT * FROM [VirtualManagerDB].[dbo].[tbl_VMM_Lock] where TaskID='Task_GUID'
but all this gives me is an error that says - conversion failed when converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier msg 8169, level 16, State 2, Line 1
I'm no SQL expert as you can probably tell, but I'd prefer not to deploy another service template in case this issue occurs again.
Can anyone help?

No one else had this?

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

Templates not locking correctly

Hi All,
I have a site that using a DreamWeaver CS3 template as the
base of the overall structure of the site.
The live dev area using the template can be found at
http://www.otsmanagement.com.au/dev
The template uses only one editable region which is for the
page content.
However when you go into Contribute the publisher is able to
add text in the header (which should be locked) and in an external
"Skip Navigation" anchor at the top. I've added some rubbish text
so you can see where.
Any ideas on this??
Thanks in advance
--Neil

Let's see one of the Template pages, please.

Received warning about Dreamweaver Templates

A friend sent me this warning. What are your experiences?
My one strong suggestion is to NEVER use their templates, but rather duplicate your pages. The template feature is NASTY and double locks everything with padlocks and cement, never to be undone again (i.e. edit areas are identical for all pages and makes any custom tweaks impossible)!

I have to agree with bregent - that friend hasn't taken the trouble to full understand how DW templates work :-)
I've been using the template feature for years and not had any problems. These days I use templates in conjunction with serverside includes to further enhance the maintainability of a website.

Template items locking?

HI All, I have created a website using a dreamweaver template. There are two elements on the bottom of the page in two seperate layers (client address). In between the top header (must be fixed in position) and the bottom elements, I have created an editabel region called "body copy". I am trying to get the two bottom elements to automatically move up or down according to the size of the Editable Region. No matter what I do they seemed to be locked into position.
Any ideas?
Thanks...Tim

There is no need to have anything in a fixed position in your style sheet, if you have structured your html page correctly.
Your html code should read -
<div id="Layer1> some content, possibly header goes here</div>
<div id="Layer2> some content, possibly main content goes here</div>
<div id="Layer3> some content, possibly footer goes here</div>
your css -
#Layer1 {
     width: 1000px;
     position: relative;
#Layer2 {
     whatever your values
continue for other div's.
I would recommend not using names like layer in your naming unless it is for an actual layer, the use of which is also not recommended.
Using an absolute position effectively fixed the position of your item, and can cause various problems when it comes to displaying them in a browser.

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!

> 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)

Designing Dreamweaver templates (was:Info.)

hey again. i have a question. and i am wondering. if its true. could a designer or photogrpaher make a template and have it used in his or her web site? if so. how? i heard you can do this in either of the two programs. photo shop and illustrator. see i am now a member of bc partner. but i am wanting to learn the in between lines. of web site making. see i have started a web site in the past. using dreamweaver, and now i am using muse. but again i am starting from scratch. right now i am using a current site called wix.com. heres my current web site.
1. wix= http://brian-ford.wix.com/photographerexplorer
2. web site in progress using adobe muse. http://bf-photographer01.businesscatalyst.com
3. heres is wix.com it self. you can see how they have this site designed. and with it they have thumbnails of web site templates. that are editable. http://www.wix.com/html5webbuilder/400?utm_campaign=vir_wixad_live
how is that possiable? all i have learnd as a photo student. was design a web site from scratch. besides adding a background image. i have lerned code bfore. and i can laern more. so what is it that i can do?
so how to desing a template? and make it into a image? that someone/client. can tap on it. and edit it. as what they want.

Hi bford 225,

Dreamweaver templates not updating on second installation

I have just purchased the new Dreamweaver CS5.5. I installed it on my laptop first and it is working fine. However the package is not working correctly on my husband's laptop. He is finding that the templates are not updating the files despite going through the process. I am the 'techie' in our partnership and I did make sure both installations were identical.
Updates we are trying to make are outside of the editable regions.
It has taken me years to get him to accept an update for this programme, and now it doesn't work for him, he is not well pleased at me spending hundreds of pounds, when the Dreamweaver MX2004 worked well for him.
Please can someone point me in the right direction to put this right.
Jean

We are not working on the same templates. In our partnership, I build the templates and then turn them over to my husband to input the content. The particular problem we are incurring at the moment is on a fully functioning website. We noticed that on changeover from Dreamweaver MX2004 to CS5.5, the css file wasn't being read, the difference being:
from <link type="text/css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" href="/styles/style.css" />
to <link type="text/css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" href="../styles/style.css" />
don't really understand this, but having updated the template, the dialogue box came up asking if you want to update all files connected to template, said ok, and the finish dialogue box says 211 files updated. But when you open the file it hasn't actually updated at all.
Website looks ok online now as he has went back to MX2004 to upload a new page.

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 - How to remove a border?

Hi Folks,
I'm a newbie here.
I decided to use a dreamweaver template to start my website. I want to remove the border of the template...as well as to make the Left and Right hand side "margins" the same background color as the webpage... can anyone tell me where to start on this? Thanks for the help,
Joe

For myself, the best place to learn about this sort of thing is staring you in the face... I don't like books. I find that suffering thru solving things is the best way to learn. The internet is a very good resource, and taking a course or two never hurt me, though I usually had most courses completed by the second class (I couldn't put this stuff down once I started).
Dreamweaver is just a tool...one of a few fairly decent ones. Learning how to use it is nice, but the more important things to learn are the languages of web design, which can be overwhelming to catch and keep up with. For the basics, I'd say you want to get neck deep into HTML, CSS, and Javascript.
I don't do web design on a continuous basis... my dealings are more often in the Flash realm. Other folks here may have other recommendations that may be better advice to follow. You'll probably find a few postings where someone has asked how to learn what, so look around a bit. If you don't find anything, just ask it straight out as a new posting.

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.
