Editable Regions - Having Issues.

I have some editable regions on my site - and the elongate my
document into something deeper than I intended in my layouts. Why
does this happen?
Also, is there any way to fix BOTH width and depth of a
table? I can only see a width setting.
Thanks for any help!!!

Template regions are not layout tools. They cannot affect the
layout of
your page since they are just HTML comment tags - not
rendered by the
browser. The page's layout only depends on the renderable
HTML. In other
words you would have the same problem on your page even if
there were no
templates involved - this means that the page's
infrastructure, itself, is
what's allowing it to become misshapen.

You cannot really fix either. A table will always expand to
fit the shape
of its contents. It sounds to me as if you have built your
table with
Layout Mode (or used FW to write the HTML), because this kind
of problem is
the guaranteed consequence of that. Can you show us the page
by uploading
it and posting a link to the uploaded file, please?

  • Having issue uploading,viewing and editing using PSE7 & 12

    Hello there!!
    So I was having issues with photos uploading, not uploading into my PSE7, so once it wouldn't upload anymore, I thought okay, maybe it's the program, it's too old or whatnot.  So I bought and downloaded PSE12 *which I really wanted anyway* and I am still having the same issue.  I am totally at a loss here, and I need my program to work to do editing and design work.  SO I hope that someone can help me with this issue.
    Things I am having issues with:
    When trying to upload picture from PSE, it dosen't show up, but it shows as a recently edited file.
    When right clicking on image and then opening using PSE, the program opens, but the photo dosen't.
    I can't drop and drag my images in any folders, as I used to be able to.
    Can anyone assist me with this issue. I feel it might be deeper than the photo editing program.  Thanks!!
    Jess

  • Editable region issue

    Anyone ever have this issue:
    I built a template in DW and set two editable regions. When I open a page to edit in Contribute (client's copy, windows vista) the light blue outline that surrounds the editable region sits at the top of the div and does not expand. It also adds a return at the top of the div. Otherwise it edits and saves like it should. It is a very simple file, three headings and a text style. Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

                    Administer the site in Contribute and Edit the role setting. Select the option “Two lines, as in web page editors (uses standard <p> tags)”.
    Hope this solves your problem.

  • Inputting a list into an alternative to inputting it into an editable region in a template

    Hello all,
    I did ask this question yesterday but only got partial feedback so I'm hoping someone can help as I can't find the answer anywhere.
    I'm hoping you can help me.
    I am creating an online clothing shop website and am having trouble.
    I have created a main template from scratch that reflects in the mens and womens pages, and the contact, about etc pages with all headers, logos, footer, a spry menu etc. I made these pages from the main template via new - Page from template etc so any changes I made to the header, logo etc will easily reflect in all of these pages.
    This part is all fine.
    This is my issue - in the main template I have an editable region so that I can input different content ie. 'about' info on the 'about' page, and product info on the mens / womens pages etc.
    Basically in each page Mens / Womens I need category pages - tops, shirts etc. These are all in the drop down spry menu but I also want them as a list in the mens and womens pages.
    From the template I created the mens and womens pages and have now saved these as a template as there will be around 10 categories for each mens and womens (tops, shirts etc) that I want to be able to replect any changes, ie. in the 'mens template' instead of having to do it in each category page - as this will take a long time.
    The problem is that I put the list in the editable region in the mens template, but I now know any changes I make wont be relfected in the category pages I have made from the mens template as this is an editable region.
    How can I make a category list in the mens template page that will be reflected in each category page?
    I'm really stuck and have no idea how to do this, I'd appreciate any help.
    Thankyou in advance

    I don't recommend using multiple or nested Templates.  There are much better ways to do what you want without going down this very slippery slope.
    Use Server-Side Includes alone or with your main Template.

  • Child pages inheriting editable regions from template

    I have looked far and wide and cannot find an answer to this problem:
    We recently did a homepage update where the nested and/or second level template (index_template.dwt) was changed. Since much of the formatting was the same - I duplicated the original index_template and made all necessary changes. From this template two child pages were created for our US and UK site. Upon creating the page(s) from the index_template they are inheriting the editable regions, thus not having the ability to update when changes are being made to the template. I have tried multiple ways in an attempt to correct this - but to no avail. Does anyone have a clue how to correct this? As of now I have to manually update all 3 pages.
    BTW I am also a relatively new user who was thrown into managing our company website and pretty much doing a redo on the whole thing. Talk about a learning experience!

    My issue is when you create a page from a template they are not supposed to inherit the editable regions less otherwise marked.
    But that is not true. A newly created child page will inherit ALL content from its template.  But changes to the editable region contents in the template will NOT propagate to existing child pages.
    So, for example, if I want all child pages to have an embedded stylesheet in the head that is EDITABLE, my template would look like this -
    <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="head" -->
    <style type="text/css">
    </style>
    <!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
    All newly created child pages will then look like this -
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
    <style type="text/css">
    </style>
    <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
    If I then go back to the template and change it like this -
    <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="head" -->
    <style type="text/css">
    body { margin:0; }
    </style>
    <!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
    that change will NOT propagate to existing child pages, but WILL appear in child pages created subsequently to the save of the template after the change.
    And by the way, it's always been this way.

  • Can't edit anything in editable regions.....

    Hi.
    I've set up a few sites with InContext Editing and only one of them seems to have this problem.
    The problematic site is hosted through Yahoo! and I am able to register the site and connect to it through InContext Editor. However, when I browse to a page with editable regions, I can see the regions outlined properly but can't click inside them to make any changes. I can also toggle b/w the text, image and link controls but none of the functions within those work.
    the site files that i've added editable regions to are as follows:
    this file is not attached to a DW template......
    http://www.choreojournal.com/index.html
    this file is attached to a DW template........
    http://www.choreojournal.com/ci_contributors.html
    I've successfully edited pages that are AND are not attached to DW templates so I don't think that this is the problem.
    I'm wondering if anyone knows of existing issues with using InContext Editing with sites hosted by Yahoo!
    BTW....I'm not a fan of hosting on Yahoo! but my client is and I'm having to wrestle with all of those limitations.
    Thanks in advance for any insight and guidance that anyone can provide on this issue.

    Hi Florin,
    I tried it in Firefox 3 and it works. IE 7 didn't like it. I originally set all of this up on my laptop which has IE 8 on it so I just assumed that IE worked no matter what. Looks like I need to install IE 8 on my desktop as well.
    But Firefox will work for now.
    Thanks for the tipoff.

    an existing template) for additional pages.
    All of my pages are based on templates, which have editable
    regions. For some reason when I try to make a change in the code
    view I get this error:
    "Making this change would require changing code that's locked
    by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded."
    However, I do not get this message when I make changes in the
    design view.
    I am definitely attempting to make changes in the editable
    region so I'm stumped why this is suddenly happening.
    Any ideas?

    Pleaes restate your problem's symptoms, and include some code
    to
    demonstrate.

  • Spry Tabbed Panel Content editable region not functioning

    I have a web page I created in dreamweaver CS5 with a tabbed panel.  When my client opens the page to edit in contibute, the content and tabs do not function properly.  Basically, the tabs do not function and the content for all of the tabbed regions is listed down the page on the first tab window. The page works fine when I open in Contibute on my computer, but only if it is through the Contibute Program.  If I try to edit through firefox, I get the same issue as my client.

    also, I get a space between the header image and the horizontal menu that goes white.  I end up having to re-upload the page from dreamweaver. Why would the follow code get added to the page when a draft is created in Contribute, when this page is based on a template with editable regions?
    < p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0;">&nbsp;</p >
    Any ideas?

    Check http://blogs.adobe.com/contribute/2010/06/paragraph_spacing_options_in_a.html  and also http://blogs.adobe.com/contribute/2010/06/spry_widget_rendering.html it should be helpful to resolve the issue.

  • Template editable region not working

    I am using DW2004.  I have a template with a number of editable regions.  One region is causing me problems.  When I apply the template to a page, the BeginEditable and EndEditable tags become editable themselves.  Trying to save the page causes errors about saving changes to regions that cannot be edited.
    The template has this editable region:
        <!-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++ -->
    <!--MainText-->
    <div id="MainText">
          <div align="left">
    <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="MainText" -->
            Main Text
    <!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
        </div><!-- Align text left -->
    </div><!-- MainText-->
    MainText is a CSS style
    #MainText{float:right; width:565px; margin: 0 0 0 0; background-color:#ffffff;}
    In the document after the template is applied, I get the following.
        <!-- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++ -->
    <!--MainText-->
    <div id="MainText">
      <div align="left">
    <!-- #BeginEditable "MainText" -->
      <table width="329" border="0" cellpadding="10">
    Problem is the <!-- #BeginEditable "MainText" --> can be changed.  If I do a return after the "-->" the tag is no longer able to be changed.  Same with the end editable tag.  As soon as I go back to Design view, the code changes to become editable again.
    At the moment I have around 150 screwed up pages after running a template update.  Can anyone help?

      <h2> Overview</h2>
      <p> <span class="style15"><a href="pa.htm"><img src="images/pa_general/pa_advt_2.gif" alt="Get Organised with Project Administirator Software" width="250" height="150" border="0" align="right"></a></span>As a Project Manager, it is inevitable you will have to carry out project interviews. They might range from interviewing a candidate for a project team role, to interviewing a Sponsor about their expectations on a project. Rarely are people given training on interviews. It is just expected that like breathing, it comes naturally. </p>
      <p>Nothing could be further from the truth. Interviewing is a technique, and as such it needs to be taught. Some people are naturals and some struggle. If you doubt there is skill involved, turn on your TV and watch a professional interviewer on a current affairs type program. In this article, we attempt to cover a few of the basics that will make you a better interviewer.</p>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>My Experiences</h2>
      <p>Many years ago I took over a role as Marketing Manager in a financial services organisation. The week I arrived, it became evident that the company had a big hole in their investment portfolio and investors were about to loose lots of money. If I had known before, I might not have taken the job. I was to suddenly have to face the media and break the news. I had never thought much about being interviewed in the past but suddenly it became a significant concern. </p>
      <p>The company called in a specialist who would prepare me over a number of days to handle interviews. In our first mock interview he had me blabbering nonsense in about a minute. We then went back to basics and he spent a week teaching me about interviewing techniques. By the end of the week I was confident to face the media and get my message across in a way that did not cause a run on the institution, and gave investors confidence that if they stayed with the organisation, within a year their losses would be recouped. In fact the majority did stay, and they did get their money back.</p>
      <p>While I was on the other side of the fence (the interviewee), I also had to learn more about interviewing than I ever expected there was to know. Here is a simple thing I was taught in the first hour or so. You can see it on TV every night. Invade personal space. </p>
      <p>A reporter on TV who is standing beside a person being interviewed has to stand close so they both fit on the screen. Typically this involves being within less than half a metre (about a foot) from the person. You can use this to your advantage with someone who has not had the benefit of media training to make them feel uncomfortable. </p>
      <p>Try it on a colleague. Ask them an awkward question while standing up close to them. You can see them squirm. Ask the same question across the room, and they may show mild discomfort but nothing like the level when you are up close to them. Also see what happens when the reporter is trying to make the person comfortable. They move further away. In fact they may want to make them relax by putting some space between them before getting up close and personal for the killer questions.</p>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>Open and Closed Interviews</h2>
      <p>Interviews can be either &ldquo;Open&rdquo; or &ldquo;Closed&rdquo;. Usually interviews are a mixture of both. We will cover how each type of interview is carried out, and the pros and cons of &ldquo;Open&rdquo; versus &ldquo;Closed&rdquo;. Managing an Interview around &ldquo;Open&rdquo; and &ldquo;Closed&rdquo; questions is a key skill of the interviewer.</p>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>Definition - Open and Closed Questions</h2>
      <p>An open interview is one where questions are not specific. They are open ended and designed to allow the person to cover a broad range of topics. As an example</p>
      <p>&ldquo;Tell me about sales?&rdquo; is an open question.</p>
      <p>&ldquo;What were sales for your territory last month?&rdquo; is a closed question.</p>
      <p>The first question may take half an hour to answer. The second will probably take less than a minute.</p>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>Why use Open Questions</h2>
      <p>It all depends on what you already know and what you need to know. If you are absolutely confident you are fully briefed on a topic, and there is only one fact you need to determine, a closed question is preferable. On the other hand, if your knowledge is sketchy, and you are not even sure what questions to ask, an open question is the way to go.</p>
      <p>If your washing machine is broken and the repair man tells you the water pump is not working, you are unlikely to ask him is it the shaft is worn, impeller is split or motor burnt out? That would be a closed question and we probably don&rsquo;t have the knowledge to ask it anyway (Incidentally I did make that up. I have no idea what else could break). We would ask an open question such as asking him to explain further. At that point he might explain it is the impeller broken because some coins got through the filter and jammed in the pump. You can then follow up with a more closed question about what that means to the repair and your wallet.</p>

      <h2>Essence of Open Questions</h2>
      <p>The essence of open interview technique is - </p>
      <ul>
        <li>Question move from the general to the specific and back to the general</li>
        <li>Much is deduced from listening and probing. A simple comment may indicate an important area to be explored</li>
        <li>There are often unforeseen topics raised. Some are relevant and some may not be relevant. You need to filter and quickly dismiss the ones that are not relevant</li>
      </ul>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>Tips for Open Questions</h2>
      <p>Here are a number of tips for asking open questions</p>
      <ul>
        <li>Think if the person can answer &ldquo;yes&rdquo; or &ldquo;no&rdquo;. If the answer is they can, it is not an open question</li>
      </ul>
      <ul>
        <li>If the person provides a wandering answer, or a &lsquo;brain dump&rsquo; offer a summary of the question - let the interviewees confirm its accuracy. <br>
    &ldquo;If I understand what you are saying&hellip;&rdquo; </li>
        <li>Allow ample opportunity for &lsquo;and also&rsquo; issues to be raised at the end of the interview or afterwards. People answering open questions tend to remember facts as they go along.</li>
      </ul>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>Closed Interviews</h2>
      <p>In using the opposite interview technique, closed interviews, you might ask </p>
      <p>&ldquo;For reporting of sales, I suppose the current breakdown by nation, state and category is OK, isn&rsquo;t it?&rdquo; </p>
      <p>The question presumes and prompts a yes/no answer. It also offers a quick and easy interview, requiring minimum reflection and analysis.</p>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font> </p>
      <h2>Why Closed Questions</h2>
      <p>As mentioned, closed interviews are useful when you are trying to find out one fact. You know precisely the question to ask and know the possible answers. They are also useful in clarifying facts in an open interview. As people cover topics broadly, you might grab one point and want to understand it more clearly. You want to drill down on a particular aspect. </p>
      <p>For example, you asked a question on how effective current sales reports are. The person is giving you a full briefing on all the reports, and the implications. They mention the sales summary report. You might ask a closed question about who receives the report and why they are provided with a copy.</p>
      <p>Closed questions allow you to drill down on a piece of information. It is more likely that closed questions will be more spontaneous than open questions. As the open question draws out the big picture, you want to closely examine bits of the picture with closed questions.</p>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>On the Spot</h2>
      <p>Closed questions can put people on the spot. They can almost sound like they were fired by the prosecutor in a trial. </p>
      <p>&ldquo;When did you first know the project was behind schedule?&rdquo;</p>
      <p>&ldquo;How many resources can you give up to the project?&rdquo;</p>
      <p>The result is the same as in a trial. The person becomes defensive. They try to find a way out of any admission or commitment. A better approach is to use an open question that allows people room to manoeuvre or qualify their answer. You can tighten up the response with closed questions based around the answer.</p>
      <p>&ldquo;How did you first come to suspect the project may not be on track?&rdquo;</p>
      <p>&ldquo;If we need people to assist, how would you be able to help?&rdquo;</p>
      <p>In both cases, an open ended question allows the person to answer without feeling threatened or ambushed. You avoid the instinctive &ldquo;flight or fight&rdquo;.</p>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>Information Gathering</h2>
      <p>An interview is an information gathering exercise. That means that you, as the interviewer, are there to direct and listen. You know your own views. The interviewee does not necessarily need to know those views. While you are talking, you are not listening and the purpose of an interview is to find out information from the interviewee. Your role is to keep the ball rolling down the road.</p>
      <p>There is an old saying that when carrying out an interview, you should &ldquo;speak with your ears&rdquo;. In other words, if you say something it should only be because you want to hear the answer.</p>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>Making people comfortable</h2>
      <p>A technique used by television interviews is to ask a number of easy questions to relax the person before hitting them with the big one. </p>
      <p>&ldquo;So your name is Jim Brown? Lived here long Jim? Married with 2 kids I hear?&rdquo;</p>
      <p>Then</p>
      <p>&ldquo;So tell us about killing your mother in law with a chain saw.&rdquo;</p>
      <p>Use the relaxing questions to start your interview. If the person is at all apprehensive at the start of an interview, a few questions to loosen them up will help later in the discussion. </p>
      <p>Imaging you are being interviewed and you are feeling a little nervous or unsure about the area under discussion. You might not even know exactly why you are being interviewed. If the person starts by explaining the purpose of the interview then asks a few easily answered questions, you start to relax and will become more likely to assist the person.</p>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>Follow the dots</h2>
      <p>An agenda is a great tool, in most circumstances. If you are having a regular review meeting and have a range of regular topics to cover, an agenda is a great roadmap. Point 1; point2; point 3.</p>
      <p>If on the other hand it is an open discussion, an agenda may be an impediment. The interviewee may want to talk about point 1 and 7 because he sees them as related. The discussion is roaming around the topic, and it might not fit into neat compartments. </p>
      <p>In this case use the agenda as a checklist. It does not have to be strictly followed. It can be a list of topics you want to have covered by the end of the interview. As the interview draws to a close, go over the agenda and see if any points still need discussion. It takes some skill to treat an agenda as a set of boundaries rather than a roadmap. If you can develop those skills, the results can be excellent.</p>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>Summarising</h2>
      <p>Sometimes people lose the thread of what they are saying. Their mind is wandering down a path and they forget where they have been or are going. It is useful to sometimes stop and summarise what you think has been said. It is double purposed. Firstly it confirms what has been said, and secondly it re-focuses the person.</p>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>Active Listening</h2>
      <p>It is a fact that most people want to be listened to. It is important to feel that the person is mentally still with us as we speak. The occasional nod of the head or confirmation of a point helps people feel their comments are valued. Be sure to respond to people or they will stop contributing and want to terminate the interview. Writing things down will assist in convincing people their input is of value.</p>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>Answer the Question</h2>
      <p>Watch a politician answer a question, and you will often find they don&rsquo;t answer the question. Techniques include:</p>
      <ul>
        <li>&ldquo;That is a good point but before I answer that let me say&hellip;&rdquo; and of course they never get back to the question</li>
        <li>&ldquo;I want to make three points&hellip;&rdquo; none of which are relevant to the question</li>
        <li>&ldquo;Why would you ask me that?&rdquo; In other words, let&rsquo;s argue about whether you should ask the question rather than try and answer it.</li>
      </ul>
      <p>If you cannot get an answer to a question, try to understand why the person is uncomfortable to provide an answer. It may just be that they forgot the original question and went off on a different track. On the other hand they may well have something they don&rsquo;t want to tell you. Sometimes understanding the reason for not answering in fact answers the question.</p>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>Body Language</h2>
      <p>Very few people can hide body language. You do not have to be an expert to read it as we all do to some extent. The eyes looking around the room for an answer; folded arms in a defensive position; legs crossed towards you for trust and away for mistrust. There are many articles on body language and a bit of research can help you read what is not being said.</p>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>Independent Interviewer</h2>
      <p>As a consultant I have been amazed some times at what people have told me. Even though it might not be attributed to them in a report, people often say things to an outsider they would never say to their peers.</p>
      <p>I remember one project review where the project manager was scathing in his remarks about the steering committee. He had never expressed his thoughts to them but told me. On investigation I had to agree with his comments and put it in the report. One of the steering committee members came up to me afterwards and asked me why the project manager never expressed his concerns to the committee?</p>
      <p> Sometimes it is useful to use an outside party for interviews as they are usually seen as coming to the situation without a bias. If not independent, they are usually viewed as not coming to support any entrenched point of view. In fact, from a consultant credibility point of view, it does you no good to go into an organisation to reinforce a particular person&rsquo;s case if you do not believe it to be valid. I usually tell people in that situation that I do investigation, not lobbying. </p>
      <p>Several years ago I did a PIR for a company and managed to upset the executive management team by pointing out their lack of support and the failures that followed. Although I had done considerable work for the organisation I was not invited back to do any more work for a couple of years. When I was invited back, I found most of the people I had been critical of had moved on. I was invited back because the person who now wanted work done was impressed with my fairness and impartiality from years before. He had remembered me and now needed the same sort of review done without someone pushing a particular point of view. What goes around comes around.</p>
      <p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
      <h2>Conclusion</h2>
      <p><font color="#006666" face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica"><a href="pa.htm"><img src="images/pa_general/pa_advert.gif" alt="project management software" width="250" height="100" border="0" align="left"></a></font>It is surprising how many people think an interview is just a fireside chat. The dynamics are far more complex. Think about your own interviewing technique and use some of these ideas to improve it. It is particularly important for your career path as you sometimes have to interview senior managers. The interview is often the only real exposure you have for them to form an opinion of you. If a promotion comes up and you have just bungled your way through a poor interview with a senior manager, your chances of getting a promotion are low. On the other hand if you have managed to direct the interview in a manner that impressed the manager, your chances are enhanced.</p>

  • [SOLVED] Having Issues with the Nouveau Driver and ACPI

    Hello,
    Trying to set up an old laptop I have with Arch and I'm having issues getting X up and running. My graphics chip is:
    01:00.0 VGA compatable controller: nVidia Corporation NV11 [GeForce2 Go] (rev b2)
    I've installed xf86-video-nouveau and get the following error when starting X:
    (EE) [drm] failed to open device
    (EE) No devices detected.
    From what I understand, I need the nouveau-drm package installed, which no longer exists in the repos. The nouveau-drm-lts package gives dependency errors:
    warning: cannot resolve "kernel26-lts>=2.6.32", a dependency of "nouveau-drm-lts"
    warning: cannot resolve "kernel26-lts<2.6.33", a dependency of "nouveau-drm-lts"
    Seems this is because those packages are no longer named "kernel" but "linux" instead.
    I've also tried using the proprietary nvidia driver, but I need the legacy 93xx driver, which the nvidia page in the Arch Wiki states it does not support Xorg 1.11.

    Seems the important line here is:
    [ 52.076] [drm] failed to load kernel module "nouveau"
    "modprobe nouveau" gives:
    ERROR: could not insert 'wmi': No such device
    Don't remember getting that error before. Nouveau would load fine.

  • After inserting editable regions, DW CS3 tells me none exist...?

    I am having muliple problems with templates on this particular project, that I have never seen before. I was going to break them into multiple
    questions, per the instructions here at the forum, but all of these relate to the same template code, which I will post below, so I think it would be
    more efficient to include the related questions in this thread.
    Background
    I created this template by first scraping the client's existing site, which is a dynamic CMS site, with HTTrack. Secondly, I opened the HTML file generated by that processs, and saved it as a template in my DW project, which automatically assigned it to the "Templates" folder, and is accessable via the "Assets" panel (usual stuff.)
    The reason for starting with a scraped version of existing is that this project involves moving the site off of the CMS platform and into HTML/CMS, yet preserving essentially the same design.
    1. The most obvious problem I have is that in the subject line: after adding a couple of editable regions to my template,
    when I save/preview, an error message comes up saying "your template has no editable regions, do you want to proceed?"
    2. In doing the save as template operation, I am prompted with "Update links?" and I do. When I open the template, all looks good in DW, however as soon as I do a preview, I get a completely raw html page with NO css styling, no images, no fonts, etc.  Conversely, if I do the same step, yet choose not to update links when prompted, then I get a template that looks completely bare in DW (no styling, no images, etc.) yet looks fine when previewed...?
    Additionally, one other thing I tried was doing the save as template, choosing not to update links, and then moving it out of the templates folder into the main project folder - Here, it both looks fine in DW, and previews, yet I am unable to use it as a template (does not appear in assets, cannot use "create new from" or "apply", etc.)
    I have also tried changing from "site root" to "document" in terms of linking, yet nothing has worked. Every time I have created a template on other projects, all has just worked fine from the start, so I am really stumped here.
    The project will have too many pages to not use a template for updates, so I am hopeful that I can figure out what is causing this. Following is my template code:

    There are (or can be), of course, editable regions in the head of a document. Typically, around the <title></title> you will find 'space' to put links etc, and meta tags:
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->
    <title> Your title here </title>
    <meta name="description" content="Description here." />
    <meta name="keywords" content="keywords here " />
    <meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
    <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
    Further down in this same document, I find:
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
    <link href="styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    <style type="text/css">
    <!--
    .style4 {color: #FFFFFF}
    -->
    </style>
    <script src="../Scripts/swfobject_modified.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
    showing a stylesheet link and an embedded style.
    So it's not so much that you can't have editable areas in the head of the document, it's more that you can't overlap or improperly nest ANYTHING.
    You can also (am I repeating myself?) make a tag's attributes editable. I use that feature most notably for applying different IDs to <body> tags for different neighborhoods in my sites. By applying different body IDs, I can control more specifically elements on those pages. But that's a conversation for another time!
    Best,

  • Editable region but not in code view

    EDIT: While cooking dinner I thought that the computer "fixes" itself when it reboots what about Dreamweaver?  I closed DW down.  Reopened the app and voila.  I CAN edit that section in code view now.  It's weird but it appears to be working.  I'll repost if something is amiss again regarding this issue.  I'll leave the post up in case it's helpful to anyone else.  thanks.
    I have new pages made from a template.  I can only edit in design view NOT in code view.  I get the standard error of I'm trying to edit where I'm not allowed.  I've made templates many times but never had this problem (I don't think!).  Does someone have a tip or help for me?  In addition to this issue I was not able to change the title of the page until I added the editable region in the template for title line.  That's always been default editable before.  Thanks a lot. I'm using DW8.
    begining code from template:
    <!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" />
    <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="title" --><title>Party Invitation Boutique</title>  <!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
    begining code from new pages:
    <!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/index.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="title" --><title>Baby Blue</title>  <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
    -------------then further down on the page is the editable region-------------
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="main_content" -->
    <div id="content_right">test only can type in design view. can't add div boxes
      even in this editable region. ugh. can't even type next this this text in the
      code view. </div>
    <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->

    Best thing you can do in the future is run your code through the validator if the editable region exists:
    http://validator.w3.org/
    If there are code errors with other tags on the page then it is possible DW is overlooking its own template code.  Unfortunately without seeing the whole page I cannot say this is definitely the case, but a likely possibility.

  • To all those having issues syncing their new iPod touch to iTunes:

    Do me a favor and try downloading doubletwist from www.doubletwist.com. I was having issues with itunes telling me it couldn't sync music/videos/photos (but it could apps) with my new 32 GB ipod touch 3rd gen so I shipped it back to Amazon earlier this week.
    Most other itune replacement software didn't support the new OS 3.0 and I didn't know how long they would take. I just got an update from doubletwist they now support the latest touch and iphones. I obviously can't try it out.
    But if several people try this (make sure to check for latest version), and it allows them to transfer music/videos while Apple have their collective heads up their *****, I will reconsider purchasing it again. I love my new HTC Hero, but it just doesn't cut it as a replacement.
    thanks,
    Jonathan

    Slowed my computer down to unusability, missing (or hidden so I couldn't find them) things I consider key features (tag editing, smart playlists, podcasts). Doesn't appear to do anything I can't already do with iTunes. The Amazon Downloader already adds any of my purchases to my iTunes library.
    Oh, and it never recognized my Touch (3.1.2) so I don't know how it would have worked. Would it have synced? Or would I have been stuck with tediously dragging and dropping things?
    Given what it did to my computer, I'm unlikely to spend much time trying to get it to work. Perhaps it works better on a Windows box but I don't think I want to subject my low horsepower netbook to it.
    Best of luck.

  • Modifying a template resulted in all child pages with repeating editable regions - Help !

    Good morning,
    I have recently been appointed to update a website designed in Dreamweaver by an employee who is no longer here. I have read books on the software and practiced an insane amount which permitted me to update child pages, links, documents etc... however:
    I was asked to add a new button to an "non-editable" region of a template. Trying to do so resulted in a massive mess (with massive anxiety).
    Even thou the new template had all the same text and editable regions, all my pages look completely different from the template itself. The editable regions appears 2-3 times in different locations ex: Header is showed on the bottom, top etc... and the Editable region titles (EditableRegion1 etc...) repeat themselves as well.
    I really need help and not sure what to do, I have tried everything and I am only making it worse and worse. All I want/need is for all my html pages created with this template, match the template.
    Please note that this site is local, not online.
    Since I noticed on other threads that the code is needed; here it is:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

    /* Tips for Elastic layouts
    1. Since the elastic layouts overall sizing is based on the user's default fonts size, they are more unpredictable. Used correctly, they are also more accessible for those that need larger fonts size since the line length remains proportionate.
    2. Sizing of divs in this layout are based on the 100% font size in the body element. If you decrease the text size overall by using a font-size: 80% on the body element or the #container, remember that the entire layout will downsize proportionately. You may want to increase the widths of the various divs to compensate for this.
    3. If font sizing is changed in differing amounts on each div instead of on the overall design (ie: #sidebar1 is given a 70% font size and #mainContent is given an 85% font size), this will proportionately change each of the divs overall size. You may want to adjust based on your final font sizing.
    .twoColElsLtHdr #container {
    width: 46em;  /* this width will create a container that will fit in an 800px browser window if text is left at browser default font sizes */
    background: #FFFFFF;
    margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
    border: 30px none #C4C4C4;

    border-bottom-width: thick;
    border-left-width: thick;
    .twoColElsLtHdr #header {
    padding: 0 10px;  /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear beneath it. If an image is used in the #header instead of text, you may want to remove the padding. */
    background-color: #FFF;
    .twoColElsLtHdr #header h1 {
    margin: 0; /* zeroing the margin of the last element in the #header div will avoid margin collapse - an unexplainable space between divs. If the div has a border around it, this is not necessary as that also avoids the margin collapse */
    padding: 10px 0; /* using padding instead of margin will allow you to keep the element away from the edges of the div */
    /* Tips for sidebar1:
    1. Be aware that if you set a font-size value on this div, the overall width of the div will be adjusted accordingly.
    2. Since we are working in ems, it's best not to use padding on the sidebar itself. It will be added to the width for standards compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width.
    3. Space between the side of the div and the elements within it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those elements as seen in the ".twoColElsLtHdr #sidebar1 p" rule.
    .twoColElsLtHdr #sidebar1 {
    float: left;
    width: 12em; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
    padding: 15px 0; /* top and bottom padding create visual space within this div */

    .twoColElsLtHdr #sidebar1 h3, .twoColElsLtHdr #sidebar1 p {
    margin-left: 10px; /* the left and right margin should be given to every element that will be placed in the side columns */
    margin-right: 10px;
    background-color: #066;
    text-decoration: inherit;
    /* Tips for mainContent:
    1. If you give this #mainContent div a font-size value different than the #sidebar1 div, the margins of the #mainContent div will be based on its font-size and the width of the #sidebar1 div will be based on its font-size. You may wish to adjust the values of these divs.
    2. The space between the mainContent and sidebar1 is created with the left margin on the mainContent div.  No matter how much content the sidebar1 div contains, the column space will remain. You can remove this left margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the #sidebar1 space when the content in #sidebar1 ends.
    3. To avoid float drop, you may need to test to determine the approximate maximum image/element size since this layout is based on the user's font sizing combined with the values you set. However, if the user has their browser font size set lower than normal, less space will be available in the #mainContent div than you may see on testing.
    4. In the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This avoids several IE-specific bugs that may occur.
    .twoColElsLtHdr #mainContent {
    margin: 0 1.5em 0 13em; /* the right margin can be given in ems or pixels. It creates the space down the right side of the page. */

    I am not suprised, the previous employee tried to recreate the English version of the site in another folder structure and did not change all links and was still using a template in the wrong location.
    I think I created the mess by trying to modify the existing template's non-editable region in order to add a new button. When trying to update all the pages, the fiasco started.
    Do you think the best option would be to create a new template in the correct folder structure and apply it? Would it fix the current pages or will I have to fix them all manualy on by one?
    I understand it is difficult to deal with a newbie of my magnitude and thanks again.
