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 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.

Template not updating online files

I use one template for 62 files which I have already
uploaded. I made a change to the template which updated my files
offline but do I have to re-upload all these files again? When I
just upload the template, none of the other files online
automatically updated. This is my first use of templates and I
assumed that if you modify the template then the change will carry
over to each associated file that already resides on the server
which would be great. What should I do to keep from having to
re-upload each file after I make a change to the template?
Thanks, Steve

>>do I have to re-upload all these files again?
Yup. That's hw Templates work.
>>What should I do to keep from having to re-upload

>>change to
>> the template?
Nothing you can do, again it's just how Templates work. You
can however read
about server side includes (ssi) in DW Help and other places
(Google) and
use them to replace some pieces of your Template. For example
put your menu
(navigation) in an Include file. Change just that file when
you need to
modify your menu. Then upload just that Include file and it
will be (what
else?) *included* in all your pages.

Dreamweaver template not updating Contribute pages

Currently I'm trialing Dreamweaver (MX) and Contribute
(3.11), to check
that it's a workable solution for my company, in terms of
editing and
auditing, but right now I'm having a problem.
I have some templates (.dwt files) that I create in
Dreamweaver, for
use with Contribute, i.e. I create the template, other people
create
the content for our site based on the those templates.
The issue is that when I make a change to the template, I
would expect
the pages created in Contribute to be refreshed to use the
new
template, but that doesn't appear to be happening. The only
way I can
get the page to be updated is to edit the page in Contribute,
go to the
Format menu and choose 'Template Properties', then hit OK
again to
close this dialog. I then see the page refresh with the new
template
changes.
Am I doing something wrong? I would expect, as I mentioned,
to have all
pages automatically updated when the template is saved, and
published.
Is there a setting I need to turn on, or a procedure of
publishing the
template that I need to adhere to?
any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply Mark. While I think I've found most of
the things you mentioned since my first post, it is useful to get
confirmation of my finding, which appears to be consistent with
your post.
Here's what I've found, and later, why I'm not really liking
it:
If I edit the .dwt file in Dreamweaver and try to save it, I'm
prompted to only update those files I have locally that reference
the template.
I can only update those local files that are checked out,
though the saving process will check them out automatically
If I create a new page using Contribute, I must refresh the
templates first
My concerns are:
if I can only update those files I have locally, then do I need
to have the whole remote site stored locally too? My company site
is huge (as it's translated into 6 languages) and has multiple
contributors/editors. It sounds like I will have to download the
entire site before I edit a template, and put it back again
afterwards. Is that right?? it sounds rediculous, so I'm sure I've
got it wrong.
if I have the files locally, I must check them out before or
while saving the template. However, I then have to check them back
in manually. Again, with potentially 300 to 400 pages per template,
that's a lot of manual checking-in. If the saving process can
automatically check pages out, can it also automatically check them
in again??
Like you, Mark, I find it strange that Contribute requires a
manual refreshing of templates. I've searched all the options I can
find, but I don't see an auto-refresh templates setting, which
would be sooo useful. As it stands I will have to instruct each
editor/contributor to refresh before they create a new page, and
pray that they do.
any further advice from Contribute/Dreamweaver users would be
greatly appreciated. How do users with very large website handle
this? Are there any tricks or hints that you can pass on?

Dreamweaver Template not updating pages error code 2?

Hi All
I wonder if someone can help me - I have a site that i made with Dreamweaver. I then got a new computer (windows 7) and updated my dreamweaver from cs4 to cs5. I have just tried to update my pages and it doesnt seems to be working.
Not sure what information you need - but I have a root folder and within the root site there is a folder with Templates and the templates have the extension .dwt
I have read some posts that say recreate the cache which i have tried - this hasnt worked
I then read another post that says you can update the pages by Modify > templates > Update Pages..
When i tried this I get the update dialog box, but when i try to update the pages i get the following error message:
"error accessing file - (name of the dwt file), file not found, error code 2"
Can i ask the what is the error code 2 - i mean is there any information about the error code which will help me to resolve my templates not being found? as i am bit stuck...
Would appreciate any help on this and thank you in advance
Regards
Lorna

I would like further help with the issue Guy McMickle identified.
When I update links to my two template files I receive the above Error Code 2 message four times. There are 22 page files based on these templates.
The <!-- InstanceBegin template... code does not exist in either of the template files. I does, however, show up in every one of the 21 files that were created from one of the two templates. In these files it shows up in uneditable header code.
Why does the error code only show up four times? If the instanceBegin code is only generated when a file is created based on a template, how can it be avoided or corrected?

Templates Not Updating .ASPX Files in Dreamweaver CC

I have website based on .ASPX pages. I have successfully used templates (.DWTs) to update .ASPX pages page in Dreamweaver versions through CS6. I installed CC and updating the templates no longer seems to update .ASPX pages. It seems I have to open each .ASPX page in the site and choose Modify > Template > Update Current Page and then save the page. Is there a better way to update the pages in the .ASPX website?
I originally posted this in the "Develop server-side applications in Dreamweaver" form, but it was suggested that this would be a better place to post it.

I decided, after the New Year, to migrate my clients (I support 75 websites) from Microsoft Expression Web to Dreamweaver. I bought the latest version (CC) and started my first migration of an Expression DWT to Dreamweaver. I should not have picked a site with 125 pages. I cannot believe that when I change a DWT the changes are not cascaded to the 125 linked ASPX pages. With Microsoft dropping Expression support, where in the world are we supposed to turn for a really good, modern, design platform. I'm calling Adobe to terminate my subscription as this simply will not work. I downloaded the installed the Extension Manager, installed and enabled the .ZXP files for ASP support and it still doesn't work. Really, seriously, disappointed. I was really looking forward to learning this new platform, but I'll have to stay with Microsoft Expression for now...

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer
First i install CS6 on the new computer
copy the projects
import the websites
Now, when i change any template the pages do not update any more. New pages working correct. Also manuell updating works.
Any Idea?
Where are the info about the join template and the pages. Seems on the old computer - but where?
Thx

hm?
now I made a new page from the template on the new machine - and find one difference:
New Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>....
Old Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>...
The slash / after template=" is not there on the new machine. If i remove the slash on the copied pages and restart dreamweaver then it works. A lot of work, but i can solve my problem this way.
Maybe there is some checkbox for path handling...?

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.

Remote file template not updating on website

Hello I am very very new to dreamweaver and have been handed a website that I have to maintain and make changes to.
The website uses a template called index with further nested templates as shown
The index template contains the code for the Menu Bar and footer and although I have been able to make other updates and changes I am finding that any changes to the code on this template do not show up on the site. The strange thing is that both the local and remote code has updated as I would like it is just the website itself that is not changing. When I view the website source code it is different to the remote file code. I assume that the link between the two is somehow broken but I do not know how to fix it. Is there a trick to fixing such a problem or am I wrong about this being the problem?
Here is the remote file code which is that same as the local code - I have out the code that is not updating in bold and underlined it:

Thank you in advance for your help

Jon Fritz that did actually work for some of the pages but not others. I upadted each invidivual page, except the main page as I have not finished the content and now some of the pages are acting strangely.
Here is the website http://www.genesi-fp7.eu/index.html
As you can see every page except the 'Contacts' and 'Links' page is now reading the correct code when you click on the 'Consortium' tab. The strange thing however is that the footer has updated on the 'Links' page suggesting that this part of the template has updated. Both these pages are based on the Index-misc nested template. The code is copied here:

      <h1>Introduction to the G.EN.ESI Project</h1>
      <p>The sustainability of industrial products, particularly household appliances, is an important issue today. Energy consumption in the residential/domestic sector is about 20% of world consumption, and associated greenhouse gas emissions exceed 35%.   Household appliances contribute greatly to these values and thus require particular attention as far as sustainability is concerned.</p>
      <p>It is well known that decisions taken during the early design of products are very important in determining total product cost. It is possible to hypothesize the same for environmental impacts – i.e. the sustainability of a product is largely determined during the early design stage. In order to allow designers to make well-informed decisions, new design methods and tools are needed to provide the basis for determining the degree of sustainability of a given product or process. Many eco-design procedures and tools have been developed but they are often far from a practical day-by-day application in company engineering departments, and they are not well integrated with computer-aided design tools.   This project wants to make up for this limitation and to develop an eco-design methodology (called G.EN.ESI) and a related software design tool (called the G.EN.ESI platform) able to help product designers in ecological design choices, without losing sight of cost and typical practicalities of industry. The software platform will propose a guided process towards eco-design among several design choices based on the different scenarios of product lifecycle. The proposed approach will be applied to the household appliance field but it can be easily extended to other mechatronic products.</p>
      <p>The project started in February 2012 and will continue until January 2015.</p>

Murray do you suggest that I try and get rid of the nested templates or am I biting off more than I can chew after two days of self training?
Thank you

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 8 - not updating links when moving files

I am still having problems getting Dreamweaver 8 to work the
same way as my Dreamweaver MX2004. When I use the file panel in
Dreamweaver 8 to change the name of a file it does not update my
links throughout out site. I have gone to EDIT > PREFERENCE and
made sure that update links when moving files and the Prompt box is
checked.
I have also tried Site > Advanced > Recreate Site Cache
but it's not working.
Can anyone please help. Thank you.

Give me the code from a link that is not managed by DW,
please.

Dreamweaver CS3 - Not Updating Files

I have this problem since upgrading from Dreamweaver MX2004
to CS3. I edit files on my local machine. I then tell Dreamweaver
to syncronize files and put newer to remove (which it does). But
when I check the remote nothing has been updated. Lately I have
been getting the message about files being newer on the remote when
they are not. I tried the fix of unchecking synchronization info
and then re-checking, but it still does not update anything. I
noticed that I modified a file at 11.01am, and uploaded it. It
didn't update but the remote file is showing as being modified same
date but 6.15pm.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? I have been using
Dreamweaver for about 6 years with no problems.
Many thanks
Alan.

Template Not Updating Files

I am helping someone with implementing CSS on a website. She
created the entire site in Dreamweaver MX using one dreamweaver
template. I did a remote get of all the files from her ftp site,
including the template file. So now I have the entire directory
structure on my local computer as is what is on the server.
I opened her template file and added a link to the style
sheet I created. However when I went to save the template file,
dreamweaver didn't ask me if I wanted to update the files that were
created previously with this same template. What could be causing
the template to not update all of the HTML files associated with
it? Is it because they weren't created on my local machine?
Please help a VERY FRUSTRATED guy :-)

This is the problem - look at the markup below. You say that
this is a child
page, yet the markup still uses -

> <title>Untitled Document</title>
> 
> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">
>  
> <script language="JavaScript">
> <!--
> function mmLoadMenus() {
> if (window.mm_menu_0517194225_0) return;
> window.mm_menu_0517194225_0 = new
Menu("root",120,24,"Arial, Helvetica,
>

Files using template not updating after moving

On this site "C" (see link) site I want to move the Template&Library folder and get them inside the local root folder, which is actually "Os". When I move it in DW the links are updated nice - but when I change the template, the files using it are not updated. Anyone care to tell me how to move these two folders to Os folder and not experiencing this problem?
http://302.se/3839

You should never had a folder named "public_html" in a properly defined site.
And "Os" is not the root folder of the C site. You would need a NEW site definition with Os as the root for the Templates to work properly.
