Editing editable regions problem

I am editing a template derived editable region. Sometimes
when I go to save I get a message: "you are editing a NON editable
region. This will be overwritten when the next template update is
done. Do you want to keep the changes for now" or words to that
effect. When I say yes it immediately deletes the changes leaving
me back where I started. If I follow a particular sequence (which I
have not memorised yet!) the problem goes away showing that inded
my action is correct. Clearly something is screwed up here. Has
anyone any clues or a solution?

In every case I have examined, this message is a red herring,
and likely has
nothing to do with editable regions, or maybe even the
changes you have just
made. But it *does* have something to do with content on the
page somewhere
that makes DW puke when it tries to update from the template
engine. Can
you show me a page where you get this error, and tell me what
you have just
done to trigger it, please?

Can't see/edit Editable Regions in Design view

I am unable to see or edit Editable Regions in Design view in
this template, or any pages created from it. Regions can be updated
& saved in Code view only. Recently upgraded to CS3 from DW8/OS
X 10.4.10. Have looked at other postings on this subject, but my
code does not contain the overflow reference. The header is an
include. Editable regions are body, sidebar, body2 and sidebar2.
The library item at the bottom of the page also does not show up in
the Design view. Please see attached code and advise.
Many thanks!!!

Hi,
Yes I've had the disappearing animation problem. It shows in preview but not in design,
I deleted and re-inserted it. That cured it - but for how long.
This latest update has been a disaster for me.

Editing audio regions

I have two questions regarding editing audio regions that I had difficulty with. After referring to the quick start manual and the manual on the help menu, I was unsure how to proceed.
1) Sometimes when I want to divide/cut an audio region so that I can copy part of it to another part of the track, I don't get it exactly at a zero crossing. I zoom in ALL the way possible and whenever I try to drag the corners to a zero crossing, I always jumps and cuts off another wave form. I'm having a lot of trouble getting the regions in the zero crossing. I tried double clicking on the region, it opened a type of audio editor. In the edit menu (I think), I checked the "zero crossing". When I zoomed in there and tried to adjust the selection or start, again it would not let me. Can someone please point me in the right direction.
2) When I am moving regions on one track and there is a little bit of overlap, one region always cuts off the other one. I am having trouble figuring how to make logic understand which region I want "on top" and also wondering if there is anyway I can have the audio from both regions play simultaneously while they overlap on the same track.
Thanks very much,
~Nico

okay, to answer Q:2 first...if there are two patches of audio overlapping, one will cut to the other as the scroll point reaches and passes them. if you want both to play simultaneously, put one patch of audio under the other, on another track.this is the quick and easy solution to that problem
for Q1, well there are a few approaches for editing audio. an easy way is to copy/paste the audio to the area on the arrange page you want it to be. double click it to open the audio edit window, then use the little in/out points at the left and right bottom corners respectively (they look like little triangles). move these points to the start/end point of the section of audio you want. you can make these points very precise. at this point you may want to go to the FILE drop down menu and 'save the selection as....', name it and add to audio window. then it will be named here to be re-used/edited without affecting the original audio. if you want to cut within a waveform, you can apply little fade in/outs to stop any clicking. remember any edits you make to your original pieces of audio are usually permanent, so always worth copying and renaming patches you are editing.
hope this helps, as i say, there are so many ways to edit audio, so i'm sure another user will give you some different advice. the more you experiment, the more you'll find little ways to do things.
as long as you have copies of the audio you are editing, just play around with it, untill you discover things...thats the best way.
good luck

How to edit multiple regions in one Piano Roll window

I edit multiple regions in one Piano Roll window at the same time. (It is very handy way of editing especially in huge orchestra projects.)
I can see midi contents of all selected regions in Piano Roll at the same time.
1) But how to choose certain one region of many selected to edit it?
2) And how to edit all at once?
Hope the questions are clear enough.
Thanks.
Dmitriy.
iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) 2,7 GHz Intel Core i5. 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3.
OS X 10.10.2

First of all, the Piano Roll has two mechansim, of what it is displaying.
Selected Track: This displays all the Regions that you select in the Tracks Window
One Track: Selecting one Region in the Track Area displays all the Regions of tha tTrack in the Piano Roll. If you select multiple Regions in the Tracks Window, then the last selected Regions counts.
Whatever Regions are now displayed in the Piano Roll Editor can be edited. Select the MIDI Events and apply the command.
You can also apply edits directly to the selected Regions in the Tracks Window.
I explain all those little details in my graphically enhanced manuals ("Logic Pro X - How it Works")
One thing to be clear about:
Tracks Window: Any edit is applied to the selected Regions
Piano Roll Editor: Ay edit is applied to the selected Events
Hope that helps

Locking editable template regions to Contribute users only

Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to lock some editable
template regions to Contribute users only? We need to have these
regions editable through Dreaweaver so our site designers can still
modify them. I'm not talking about the "Optional region" here, just
a "regular" editable region.
Thank you,
Stéphane Brault

there's no option to restrict access to contribute users only
when using Dreamweaver templates.. but a possible dirty workaround
would be to place those editable regions inside dynamic code (ASP,
PHP, JSP, etc..) as Contribute won't be able to interpret them..
they won't be visible in Contribute

Editable/Uneditable Region (Template)

Hi,
I am using dreamweaver to design my personal website. I need some help please.
I created a template and designed some pages based on it. I have two editable regions in the template. I want to change one of them to uneditable.
Could you please tell me how to do it?
Thank you for your help.

Business Catalyst Help | Defining InContext Editing editable regions using any code editor

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/defining-incontext-editing-editable-regio ns-1.html

This is what I meant by shape.
Normally, I drag out a rectangle with Muse,then set it's background fill so that it can turn in to a object which I can change the states for the button. I published my site with several this kind of links and I want to change it whenever possible in the in broswer editing. However, at first, when go to in browser editing, this object is completely not editable. After I added in the attributes of the Editable Regions,
<div ice:editable="*"></div> I get an full editable functions.
For example in my site, I have a rectangle with an image background to it,with an external link. And after I added the
ice:editable="*" in the div tag,I got to edit my so called "button".
Keep in mind that this had a link to it.
After I click edit, a full control showed up, so I try to select the phot and insert link ,hoping that it could add a link to the photo.
However, after I specifiy the adress, the photo is gone and a text link is left behind. I can still add back in the photo but I just can't make it a linked photo.
And what's eventually left behind isn't the linked photo, but a linked text.
The main question I'm wondering is that if I'm able to change the link of a image through in broswer editing,or the link of a regular shape like a rectangle, so that I can always update the link of the objects through buisness catalyst and when user clicking the photo/shape, they can be brought to an adress.
But it seems like I only can change the link for a text.

In content editing repeating regions not working Safari 6.05 and Google Chrome v30.0.1599.66 mac?
Marquees not showing, works perfectly fine on PC IE 9.
Can edit text put cannot duplicate regions?
Can anyone advise? Not good if the client worjs on Mac.

Marquees the HTML tag? It's the most hated HTML tag out there, most browsers removed it because it was such a pain to see in 1996 scrolling images and scrolling everything

Question about "Edit Edit Original", and a question about efficiency.

I have a background image that I have imported (placed) inside my Indesign document. Problem is that I can't tell how the image will look against the other Indesign layers until I actually import "place" the image. I find myself having to keep going back into photoshop to adjust the hue/saturation or use the brush tool for adjustments. I then save, and from Indesign I update the link.
Having to do this 6 or 7 times in a row until I am satisfied, seems like a huge waste of time. It just seems like it would be SO much easier and less time consuming if I could edit my image in the Indesign image. Is there a workaround?
Here is an analogy. To me it's like an artist painting, but having to run into another room to dip his brush. He rushes back to his painting only to find that he needed just a little bit more yellow added to his white...so he has to run all the way back into the paint room to dip his brush again. I'm sure there is a reason for this work method in Indesign, but I'm just a little confused with it.
Question #2: I have tried going to "Edit>Edit original" in InDesign. Problem is, that the "preview" app pops up instead of photoshop, because I like my psd's and jpgs to automatically open in preview for quick viewing purposes. I've read that the work around is to go into Bridge and change the way a program opens a certain type of image. I did this..I changed it so Photoshop and Indesign should open jpgs by default, yet still allow the osx operating system to still open them in "preview". I tried restarting Indesign to see if it was just something that required a restart to take effect. It still opens "Preview" when I go to Edit>Edit Original.

CS4 adds an edit with feature...other than that sorry, Photoshop is
where you'll need to do the editing.

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like excel, word etc. 13"

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like microsoft office products ...excel, word etc. I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
13-inch: 2.6GHz
with Retina display
Specifications
2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Intel Iris Graphics
Built-in battery (9 hours)2

That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
Good luck in making your decision!!

Edit/Edit Colors/ Convert to CMYK via applecript

Cant seem to figure this one out.
In Adobe CC, I am trying to convert every path item of the current document to CMYK using applecript or javascript.
The equivalent to Edit/Edit Colors/ Convert to CMYK.
Currently I am using an action but I try to stay away from actions as much as possible.
Does anyone know how this could be done via applecript, javascript or whatever else?

Right, I tried this method already but it does not show the dialog box in Adobe Illustrator CC v18. only previous versions.
Our group all use different versions. I may just switch to an installer script thats adds the action to Illustrators "Default_Actions.aia" file since its text based.
Heres what I'm using now which is working but I don't like all the hoops it has to jump.
The action simply writes a new doc to a dummy file on a server & the when script doesn't see then dummy file, it writes, loads the action & deletes the dummy file.
Then on the next run, the action will write the dummy file for the script to see & skip the loading of a duplicate action.
And if I change the action, I simply change the name of the action file & dummy file.
property ACTSET : "Set 1"
property actbname : "Action 1" --- writes teh PTDF file, then run rest of action
property PTDF : POSIX file "/Volumes/artserver/1_ASI/spotcheck.ai" as string
property the_file : PTDF & ACTSET & ".aia" as string
property the_file2 : POSIX path of PTDF & ACTSET & ".aia" as string
property spotcheck : {}
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
set spotcheck to ""
do javascript "app.doScript ('" & actbname & "', '" & ACTSET & "');"
try
tell application "Finder" to set spotcheck to file PTDF as string
end try
if spotcheck = {} then
my addaction() --- saves action text to temporary items for the load
do javascript "app.loadAction (new File('" & the_file2 & "'));"
do javascript "app.doScript ('" & actbname & "', '" & ACTSET & "');"
tell application "Finder" to move file the_file to trash
end if
tell application "Finder" to move file PTDF to trash
end tell

Template - editable region problem

Hi folks,
I'm designing a site using CSS as opposed to tables and I've
hit on a problem. For info the site is broken down into a 'header',
'left hand column' and a 'right hand column'. The 'left hand
column' is a class and on the template I'm trying to make it an
editable region, However when I've down editable regions in tables
in the past they're always worked but this time out when attempting
to make the left hand column editable the following message is
displayed:
You have placed the editable region "EditColumn" inside a block
tag. Users of this template will not be able to create new blocks
in this region. Move the region outside the block tag if you want
users to be able to do this. Now I'm not sure what I'm doing
wrong, however it is within this region I want to be able to edit
data. I want to be able to apply a Bg image to this region and also
add images or text and links - however I cant.
I have tried to edit the above on a separate DW8 file and it
works fine (which it should do) - it's just in the template version
I cant. Can anyone shed any light on this problem. I'm not a
hardcore coder so any breakdown in this problem would be absolutley
welcomed.
Many thanks
Tommisauce

I note that you have used the space bar as a layout tool (not
a great idea).
   <a
href="#">ADVERTISEMENT</a>
I also note that you continue to make the error of improperly
nesting tags -
<p align="left"><img
src="../image/Front_Page/IUKwebLogo.gif"
alt="Intuition
UK: Business Consultants" width="245" height="60"
class="Logo" /><div
class="MenuHeader">
Note that this is a <div> inside a <p> and that's
not a valid structure.
You also have things like this -
<p><p class="Copyright">Intuition UK
2007©</p>
an improperly terminated <p> tag.
Until you get a better grasp of HTML, you should probably
stay out of the
code.
The bottom line is this - DW will only do what you tell it to
do. If you
tell it to do something that will result in invalid markup,
DW will not
always prevent you from completing that task. If there is
invalid markup on
a template page, you will always trigger these alerts that
you are getting.

Problem with editing Editable Region - HELP!

My website is www.yucholian.com
I have created a template and have assigned a main body to be
an Editable Region. However, I can't seem to use different fonts,
sizes or styles as I wish. If I go to Text drop down, go to size,
all options are greyed out. Can anyone help?
BTW, I'm using 30 day trial.
I find Dreamweaver to be very finicky. Even something simple
as applying a template that I created, view doesn't update, showing
doubles...
Thanks in advance.

The more you know about HTML, the less you will run into such
things - but I
have to say, I have no idea what you are describing here. It
sounds to me
like user error, but I can't say for sure.
> However, I can't seem to use different fonts, sizes or

Show me your template, tell me what you are trying to change,
and I'll
explain to you what is happening.

Nested templates - problems with inheriting editable/repeating regions

I have made a template called 'basic', with 2 sections, 'maincontent' and 'sidecontent' then nested a template in it called 'home'. In 'home', I have made repeats of some regions (sidecontent) and edited them to make a section I want on all 'home' type pages. When I make a new document from 'basic', it has all the same editable and repeating regions as 'basic'. But when I make a new document from 'home' there are no editable or repeating regions, either in 'sidecontent' which I edited or 'maincontent' which I didn't. I want to be able to edit 'maincontent' when I make a new document from 'home', to make repeating regions and edit them. Please can you advise me what to do?
Thanks

When I tried to attach the files it automatically zipped them again, so I have put the code above.
Thanks,
Rachel

Editable Regions Problem in CS3

I am working a set of pages based on the two column fixed with template.
4 Editable Regions.
Two Created by Dreamweaver
Two Created by me
Doc Title
Head
MainContent
Ad Area
Almost ALL of my additions are going into the Content Region. 80% of the time I have NO ISSUES
between Code View and Design View.
What is happing to me too many times now that it has become annoying......
I will make a simple code change in Code View, usually WELL WITHIN the editable region tags
and when I go to view what I did in Design View, I get an error box that says something like this.
You have made a code change in an area that is designated as uneditable.
If you wish to keep this change it will be lost the next time you update the template.
This could be a siple change like adding a bold to a piece of text.
A lot of times it happens whe I try to put a Container Div around some text.
It almost ALWAYS happens when I am trying to float something.
Is this a BUG. Is there a fix? I know I can't ignore it because I have seen what happens when I do that....
Please don't tell me to update to a more recent version unless that absolutely has the fix in it.
It cost me an arm to buy this product in the first place and if I had known how little I was gaining
I would have NEVER purchased it.I certainly don't want to spend any more unless it solves the issue.
The design view in CS3 STINKS! Design View was one of the reasons
I wanted the product in the first place. WYSIWYG. I was trying to upgrade away from years of using HotDog.
Two years of this now and I still find myself doing most of my design in Code View.
I don't TRUST Design View.
I do eventually publish to a copy without template marup but I need to code in the version that is still templated.
I do change the master template from time to time.
HELP!

Better than your helpless nagging would be that you share a link to your page.
... and your: Please don't tell me to update to a more recent version unless that absolutely has the fix in it. It's actually also not a very good attitude and (for me!) not a great motivation to help you. Ok, I have this program on the computer, even, but the reasons are to work here in the forum.
... and I quote from a thread here in the forum:
"It's not a word processor or WYSIWYG, never has been, but I think you're using those terms more broadly than the regulars in this forum use them. But if you're happy to use only Design View and let DW code then you'll get similar results to using DW8."
