Error adding editable region in nested template Header

I have a base template for the website (establishing basic
menus), and a secondary template using that base template, which
establishes a common table layout for one part of the site. Having
created the PHP to drive the page, I need to lock down that
secondary nested region - otherwise any edit I make to my secondary
"table-defining" template is not passed through
to the final pages using the secondary template. I have
successfully created a secondary editable region in each part of
the <body> area, and sure enough, it locks down text
outside the secondary editable region just as DW help says it
should. So far so good.
Now the problem - I cannot create a region inside the
<head> editable region to lock down that region too.
Normally one would want keywords and so on to be variable from page
to page, but as I am filling variable keywords from a database, it
makes sense to lock down the <head> too. Does anyone
know why that generates an error "cannot create an
optional region here"? Is there anything that can be done
about it?

Posts are hard to read when they are all crammed together
like yours. Try
making some paragraphs!
Nevertheless, I think I understand what you are saying., but
honestly, I
just wouldn't do it that way. Anymore, my templates are just
one editable
region in the body, and a bunch of server-side includes. I
find nested
templates much too complex, and troublesome to work with, and
have really
never found a scenario where I could do things with them that
I could not do
more easily with other methods.

Is it only you working on the site? Who are you trying to
'lock down'? If
it's only you, I'd forget about this. Invariably the things
like this that
you think are a good idea come back later to bite you.

How to remove Editable region from nested template?

I'm trying to remove an editable region from a nested
template while retaining it in the parent template. DW doesn't want
to let me do this.
Example:
- I've created an overall template call ALLPAGES.DWT
- In it, there's an editable region called "related links".
- The "related links" will stay the same for all my main
pages (welcome, news, info, etc), so I'd like to create a nested
template called MAINPAGES.DWT where the field is locked.
So here's what I did; I started a new page from ALLPAGES.DWT
and then I created a template MAINPAGES.DWT from it. Now I want to
remove the editable region "related links". According to the DW
manual, I should be able to highlight the region and go to
Modify > Templates > Remove Template Markup, but that
option is greyed out!
Apparenlty the only way of removing the editable region is to
create a smaller editable region within it. But that's unnecessary
and sloppy. How can I remove the region entirely?

I really disagree with this.

I spent quite a bit of time using them, tweaking them,
understanding them,
and watching the problems that others have had here on the
forum. My
compelling conclusion is that there is nothing you can do
with nested
templates that you cannot do more simply and with far less
trouble by using
other methods, some involving other kinds of template
regions, and some
involving simple use of Library items, or better, server-side
includes.

This is not only unkind, it's completely erroneous. Far and
away, I am the
single most enthusiastic proponent for the use of templates
on these boards.
Perhaps a read of my book would help you rid yourself of your
attitude, too.

How to make metatags "Editable" region in my template?

How can I make my metatags "editable" regions in my template?
I tried doing it as shown below . . . but when trying to update the individual pages from the template, I get an error message that looks like its trying to tell me something is missing from the  instruction.
Can anyone help?
I appreciate it!
<head>

<meta name="keywords" content="cat, dog, apple, banana">
<meta name="description" content="My Description will go here.">
<title>My Title will go here</title>

<title>undefined</title>


Thanks for your response, David
Well, I've tried to implement your instructions on the template (see below for EXACT code). But on all the "child" pages, I am ONLY still allowed to edit the "Title" tag. Everything else is still GRAYED-OUT (unable to edit).
What did I do wrong?

Making DW CS4 Nested Template Head Region Update to Pages

Using DW CS4...
So I made a template, called main_template, and obviously it has an editable region named head. Now from main_template I made the nested template locations_template. Now I have code that I put in the head region of locations_template. This code does not propagate out to pages created from locations_template. I can't place an editable region within the head section in the nested template. How do I solve this problem?

> 1st: "Error accessing file "...here appears the file
name/path..." bad
> file
> path (error code 3) OKAY
This usually means you have other files open that may belong
to templates
not in the current site. Make sure that you have other such
files closed
and you won't get this error.
> 2nd: When I click the OKAY button I get: "There is an
error at line 5,
> Column
> 35 (absolute position 54) of "...here appears the file
name/path..." :

This usually means you have an error in the template file -
we would need to
see its code to diagnose further.
> When I check the code at line 5 or 54 I find nothing
relevant to "Nested
> edible regions".
It could be referring to code errors like a missing
</head>, or <body> tag,
too.

How to insert a widget in a editable region from a template

Hi there,
ok so basically I am trying to create a HTML page from a template i have already designed.
when I try to insert a widget (Lightbox Gallery) in the editable region I get the following error.
"the widget requires code that must be inserted into the head of the document. insertion cannot happen because this document is read only"
I saw a previous thread (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/901299) that had the same problem with a solution but cant seem to make sense of it.
Not exactly sure where and what to paste in the header of the HTML page.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Murray,
ha funny you would say that is the exact answer you would give me seeing you posted it
I understand the logic behind it though not sure what i need to copy and where.
Basically i craeted a "dummy page" and inserted the widget-no problem there.
next step- what code do i copy from the dummy page and where do i paste it? in the template or HTML page.
Dummy HTML with widget code

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.

Quick Question regarding an error with editable regions

Hello,
I am a co-op student and I work with other students as well, on our large company website. I have always been considered the cheif coder, and nobody knew the wesite layout and file directory as well as me. However, something terrible has happened while somebody was updating some information on one of your HTML pages.
I logged in to Dreamweaver CS3 on afternoon to make a very simple text error change on our website. As soon as I hit "synchronize sitewide", it stated that there was no synchronization necessary, although I had already made a change. So then, on the template (.DWT) page, I thought I would backspace any character, and then retype it again in order for the "save" option to appear, so that I could save the template, and have it update all HTML pages, as well as the page that had just said "no synchronization necessary". I thought that I had to update the template first, which was strange, as I never had to do this before.
When I clicked update, the error message that I got was that I have placed an editable region inside of a block tag. I checked the HTML pages as well as our template (.DWT) pages, and indeed, the "Page Header" was embedded in a <h1></h1> pair. The pair appears black and delete-able in the template files, and grey in the HTML files, which is expected. However, I have been working at this institution for four months, and I recall that the <h1> tag pair had always been there since I remember. (How badly did this other person mess up?! =S)
I tried to delete it from the .DWT file (the small editable region, and the <h1> tags), and now, what happens is that if I try to save a template so it updates all other HTML pages before synchronization, the template simply does not update anything, and I get no message whatsoever after clicking Save.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for coping with these many details. I simply want to be able to update HTML pages again, because my boss really needs it, and I have never had such a problem before (having made much larger changes to this same website in the past)
Thanks again,
Mr. V

How many child pages are you supporting with this DWT? Hopefully less than 50 pages.
Is your code valid? HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org
Can you post a link to your DWT page, or copy and paste your code here?

Adding editable region tags moves my content in non-editable regions

I have a template based on a template (the first with my navigation, and the second is based on the first with a sidebar added). When I add an editable region to the second template, it moves my sidebar down to leave a gap between the nav bar and the top of the sidebar. On the second template I want to add editable regions to the content area and to the sidebar. Even if I don't add any content to the editable reagions and just place the editable regions tags, my sidebar still moves down. I have tried adding two seperate editable regions and also adding one large editable region covering the content area and sidebar and the sidebar moved both times. My content area is a div floated left and the sidebar is a div floated right.
I don't understand why anything is moving when I am only adding tags to make an area editable

Do you have a container that the two divs are in and if so, are you clearing the floats? It's hard to give an answer without seeing the problem page.

Can a div be an editable region in a template?

This is my first attempt to work with templates. I have a main area in the center of the page where I want to be able to adjust font-size, and perhaps other text properties. I use a div called "textbox" I set it up as an editable region, but every time I try to change font-size, I am told that this is an uneditable region and the change will be discarded. Here is the code in my program:

    <div id ="textbox">
      <p>Here is some text in the box</p>
      <p> </p>
    </div>
    
Any suggestions?

Okay - all is well. Yet again I find myself spend as much or more time in Code view, than Design view. With the cursor inbetween a couple of divs, I could make it editable. I found in a couple of cases the editable region was stuck in an odd random place in the page - Code view helped me figure it out.
<div id="mainContent">

/* all the below is editable */
<div id="featureBox1"><h3>Feature box one</h3>

Open a QT movie in editable region of page (template)

I am using templates for my site. I'd like a movie link to open in a dependent page in the editable region of the page if possible. Can't seem to make it happen. The movie always opens in its own blank page.

Did you embed a QT Player on the page?

Added editable regions in order to insert meta tags, but get code error. What did I do wrong?

Hi,
Made a website based on a template, and as so many people, was afterwards struggling with optimizing my titles, descriptions and keywords for SEO. These were/are locked in the head section of the template. I found lots of useful information on the forum to unlock this section, but apparently I am doing something wrong and I can't figure out what. The code error I get is that there is a syntaxis error in the template comment. Also I do see that the color of the code is maybe not the way it should be.
This is the code I pasted in:
<!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" >

<title>untitled document</title>


<meta name=”keywords” content=”keywords go here” >
<meta name=”description” content=”description goes here” >

<link rel="icon" type="rel/icon" href="images/neroli_logo_mini.png" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="images/neroli_logo_mini.png" />
<style type="text/css">
After that there is a whole bunch of stuff regarding two.Col.Elst.Lt.Hdr and style sheets etc. but there is a closing </head> tag just before my header and side bar section.
Does anybody know what is wrong with my code? I just don't see it ...
Thanks so much!!!

Error when editing region of the placeholder

I defined a placeholder using the following documentation
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/content-management/ucm/sitestudio10gr4tutorials/AddingContent/addingcontent_viewlet_swf.html
To summarize, following are the steps that I followed
1. Created following site assets
     a. One element definition with name BodyContent of wysiwyg
     b. One region definition of name SampleRegionDef. Then added the above element to this region definition
     c. One region template by choosing SampleRegionDef as region def with name SampleRegionTemp. Then inserted the BodyContent element in the region template page. there is no other content in the region template
     d. One Placeholder definition with name SamplePlaceHolderDef and selected the SampleRegionDef as the region and SampleRegionTemp as the template.
2. Next I have created a place holder with name SamplePlaceHolder and selected the SamplePlaceHolderDef for primary and secondary pages.
3. I placed the SamplePlaceHolder on the home page.
4. I assigned a new contributor data file to the place holder (region template)
After doing this I launched the site in contributor mode. I noticed edit icon apperaing for the placeholder. I cliked on edit icon and I see the below error message
==========================================================================================
Error
Unable to perform the action due to the following reasons:
[+] The Region Definition could not be loaded. The required parameter 'regionDefinition' could not be found.
=========================================================================================
What could be the problem? Ithere anything more needed to be done here?
Regards,
Pratap

Hi Pratap,
Double click on the placeholder that is on you template page
Click on the check box optionally specify place holder definition
Select your place holder definition file from the drop down.
Save template page open in browser go to contribution mode.
Have already done this?
regards,
deepak

Error adding new function in order template

Hi,
When i am trying to add a new function to order Template under /contolData/Functions/ form data dictonary
I am getting error :
Element with same name exist.The following nodes can not be added to the order.
(no namespace):/ControlData/Functions/MyNewFunction
(no namespace):/ControlData/Functions/MyNewFunction/componentKey
Thanks
Harman

Hi Harman,
You might need to be more specific before I can help you. What have you done, and which step you run into the error? I supopse you have created a new "function" Order Component, and created the required Control Data nodes in Data Dictionary (what have you added?), right? So, when you go into the Order Template tab of the new Order Component (which would be empty since it was newly created), and you try to "select from Dictionary" the corresponding ControlData for the function (e.g. /ControlData/Functions/MyNewFunction), that such an error occurs?
Have you assigned a process for this Order Component? Studio does not allow adding control data to it unless a process is assigned.
Btw, you should define a namespace for your Order Components (and other orchestration entities). The OSM server uses namespace to locate these entities among cartridges.
Cheers,

Can't manually add editable regions to head in template

When I created my main template in Dreamweaver CS6 for my website, I had copied most of the page code from another layout I already had, including the head code. I did not realize there were already editable regions built into the head section of the Dreamweaver template and deleted them when I pasted my previous code without adding new ones. I then added an editable region to the body and started created pages using the template.
Everything works well and updates properly when I make changes to the template but now that I am trying to add those editable regions back to the head section so I can change the page title (and possibly add more responsive code), it doesn't work. I copied and pasted the following code into my template file in Dreamweaver and it saves in the template telling me it's updating the related pages, but when I open those individual pages in Dreamweaver, the code isn't there and those regions are not editable; only the original editable region I created in the body exists and works properly. Everything else continues to work perfectly.
Here is the code I pasted into the head around the <title> tag:

<title>Collings Document Database</title>

And here is the code I pasted into the head just before the </head> tag:


</head>
Any help would be appreciated. From everything I've read on these forums after searching, it sounds like pasting that code should work but I continue to get the results mentioned. Thank you.

Thanks for the response. I've run the template code through the validator and the following two errors are the only ones that showed up. I don't see how either of these would cause this issue. Thoughts?
