How to Edit someone's Template.

Can you help me help out with Templates.
Sometimes when I try to help out with coding issues it appears to me that the page is a template page which I have never used.  They have all those "instanceEdit" tags in there.
That seems to me to stop me from editing the code in DW.  My way round it is to copy the code into a text file, manually strip out all that stuff and save as an .html file.  It takes ages!
Is there an easier way to do that?
I don't use templates in DW - they frighten me.
Should I learn to use them?
Martin

I have personally dispensed with DW Templates after a decade of using them.
I now find them restrictive and I regularly found the Template syntax was getting in my way.
I now prefer to code common elements as Server Side Includes.
Others mix Templates with Server Side Includes for the best of both worlds.

  • Adobe illustrator How to edit my photo Template

    Can anyone tell me how to edit the photo blocks on my Template.
    Someone made me a template in adobe illustrator and i can't seem to edit the blocks to add photos instead of the other images.
    Thank You

    This is the way I would do it. (see image below)
    Place image.
    Live trace - alter dialogue boxes to your preference etc, select OK
    Keep image elected - expand
    Keep selected - select fill colour and click 'none' and select stroke and give a colour/black and a small pt size.
    You should have a outline face/image with no fill and just a stroke.

  • How to edit Captivate Handout template

    I'd like Captivate 6 handouts to publish in a table that is left justified with the slide notes in the left column and background image in the right column.  I don't want any labels like "Slide 1 - Slide 1" or "Slide Notes." 
    Header 1
    Header 2
    Slide notes here without label...blah, blah, blah
    Image from slide here at same size as in Storyboard publish
    I've searched the internet for over 4 hours today and cannot figure out how to do this, including the Adobe discussion lists.  I found a link to a document on Creating Wordoutput Templates.  It has lots of tags, but no instructions.  I'm not a programmer, and the document was incomprehensible to me. 
    I found and opened each of the Captivate print templates.  The three that show coding are Word docs and none of them have a tag for slide notes.  I tried altering one of them and got an error when I tried to publish.  The template used for handouts has no coding that I can find or change.  When you use the table feature, the images are tiny and it creates multiple tables within the document instead of just one.  And, of course, it has the labels for slide notes and slide numbers.
    Can anyone send me instructions or a Word template that can be used to do this? 
    Thanks!

  • How to Edit PSD Files In Flash Template

    Hi Everyone,
    I am new to flash and I am trying to create my first flash site using a template that I have downloaded. I can edit the first page fine, but when I click the "about us" or any other section, the standard template text, Which isn't even in english, appears. I believe that these are psd files, and I have tried to edit them, saved and replaced file on my computer, but still I get the same unchanged text on this site when I preview. Could someone please tell me how to edit and replace these files within the flash movie?

    Instance names are the reference names that you give to the individual items on the stage. Only movieClip and button symbols can have instance names.
    When you import a photoshop file to Flash you will get individual bitmap objects on the stage and in a folder in the movie's Library. You will need to select each item, one at a time, on the stage and convert each one to a symbol. When you make that conversion the name that you give to that new movieClip or button is the name that you will see in the Library.
    When you select that new symbol on the stage, look at the Properties window. You will now see a space at the top where you can give that item an instance name. The instance name is what you will use in Actionscript to control that object on the stage.
    When you look in the movie's Library, you will see the original bitmap and the symbol that you created that contains that bitmap.
    Does that help?

  • How to: Edit an INDT InDesign Template file?

    Hi,
    I am currently working on a packaging redesign project.
    I have received an InDesign template from a client that was previously created by another design house. They have added their logo and company details to the template, which I would like to remove in order to add my own.
    I have no idea how to edit the material in the template.
    Can anyone please advise me?
    Thanks in advance.

    Its not working Im afraid...
    The previous template has guides and crop marks etc, along with the contact details from the previous firm that I would like to shift or move.
    Following the steps you've described opens the template, but the content is still not able to be edited.
    Ive checked the layers palette to see if the layer is locked etc, but they are not. I simply cant edit the content.

  • How to edit "Solution Template"

    Hi @ all,
    is the any way to edit the solution template in NDS? I'm able to edit the existing email templates like "Article Information" or "Group Information".
    If I solve an incident ticket the user become an notification ticket with the SOLUTION field and the "Incident Information" in it.
    And therefore I want to know how to edit the "Solution" in the closed incident email notification.
    thx

    The Solution template is called CloseRequest and can be edited in the Setup > Email > Templates section. You need to ensure the menu option "Full Email Templates" is selected though.

  • How to edit template for report generator in stimulus profile editor in Veristand 2011?

    How to edit template for report generator in stimulus profile editor in veristand 2011?
    We are using Veristand 2011.When we run any sequence in stimulus profle editor,we get test results in form of ATML file.
    We want to customise the template for this test result generation as per our requirement.
    For example:
    Test case No.: Description of test case.
    Objectives: Explanation of objectives.
    Result: Passed/ Failed.
    Graph: If any.
    Please suggest how to do this.

    You cant really change too much in the report, you can customize TRML.xsl which is created every time in the Test Results\UUT 1 folder and that would give you some flexibility on what is shown. I dont know what a xsl is actually able to do in terms of composing data from multiple files (if at all possible) but it definitely allows you to change the visual format of the existing xml data.
    Otherwise I modified the xsl to customize the look of the xml report when opened in a browser to have less clutter and some coloring on the Pass/Fail but, the reports are XML files anyway so it's easy to extract data out of them and you can probably write your own report creation tool to compose the report in whatever format you like.

  • How to edit book/author on this template?

    I've been working off of the BookPatch template for InDesign (6x9, download here) and as I'm kind of new with ID I'm having a problem. I can add pages and add the text to them fine, but there's these sections at the top of each page (the red arrows) that I'm not sure how to edit. Adding new pages numbers the correctly at the bottom (the blue arrow), so I'm guessing there's a way to edit it once somewhere and have it reflect over each page? I tried the text tool and direct selection tool but I'm stumped. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks a bunch, all set.

  • HOW TO LINK PAGE IN TEMPLATE EDITABLE REGION

    Hi to all friends out there .I am new to this .I want to know how to link existing page or link in editable region of template.Please guide me.
    My template is ready but i do not know how to link existing pages in editable region of template.
    Every help is appreciated.if code also you can show me than it will be helpfull.
    Thanks in advance.

    Editable regions are for content that will change from page to page.
    Anything outside the editable regions will appear in all pages spawned from the Template.  This gives your site a consistent look.
    Ideally, you want to put common menus, headers, footers and sidebars into NON-EDITABLE regions, right?
    Open main Template (.dwt) file.
    Highlight menu item.
    On the properties panel there is a link field with a small folder icon next to it.
    Click the folder icon and browse to the site page.  Click OK.
    Repeat with additional links.  Save your main Template.dwt file and populate changes to child pages.

  • How to edit a templates HTML stucture?

    Created a page with the standard "two level tab and sidebar" template and found it to have the users name in the lower left corner $APP_USER.

  • How to edit the page 0 "template" in APEX 4.2

    I have an application that has been upgraded to APEX 4.2.  On page 0, when I try to move an existing region to Region Position 8 I get an error: "This region position is not in your page template".  Looking at the page definition (component view) I can see the name of the template associated with page 0, so I edited that page template and added #REGION_POSITION_08#, but still I get the same error message.  So I thought perhaps I would change page 0 to use a different template, but Edit Page does not show the page template at all for page 0. 
    So I suspect that page 0 is no longer supposed to have a template at all, yet my upgraded application does (sort of) and I can't change it.  Any ideas?

    Dear Paul,
    I used the login_table for my login page,
    which has only two fields username and password as like login screen, in my appliction in the change password page
    I used the another table called Update_user
    which has four fields,
    1.username
    2.current_password
    3.New_password
    4.Retye
    and the change password page contains this exact same 4 fields from this Table,
    whenever the users entering the 4 fields and if they click the create/update button the data will be stored in the Update_Table
    and the password field in the Login_table will be updated based on the following trigger,
       create or replace TRIGGER  trg1
    before insert on update_user
    referencing old as old new as new
    for each row
    begin
        update login_table set password= :new.retype where username=:new.username;
    end;
           As you said I tried that :APP_USER and I made the username column as read only,
    When the values inserted except the username other 3 values inserted into the update_user table and the login_table not updated so the password also not changed,
    Is there any other way to directly upadte the password in the Login_table without going for another Table?
    Please Give some suggestion.
    Thank you,
    regards,

  • How can we add multiple editable region in template

    Hi,
    My issue is when I am going to create a new template I want to add multiple editable region in template and I want to use those editable region per page wise so that in page editor I will add different text for each page for those editable region.
    I can use incontxt editor to change those area for different pages although is it possible to use online editor to add different text for different pages.
    I also have a plan to solve the issue ... that is also not working.
    Plan is .. if we can use tag (not the default one in template), want to use different tag like {tag_headding},{tag_sidebarcontent} in template so that we can use those tag in template and fill the field in the page online editor, so when differnt page we will create we will fill those field for those tag and that will show in the front view of the site.
    Please help me. I am really stuck on this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Projjwal,
    Yes, if you look at many of the commercial BC templates available the way they are getting around it is with Content Holders and multiple templates.
    Now I know you will say that multiple templates is high maintenance ..... not if you use Content holders for both recurring content and unique content.
    Think of Conent Holders as 'Includes' ... I have been doing it this way with templates that I build from scratch as well. Easier than you think.
    And that way the client can change content such as footer information or whatever that appears on all pages without editing the template itself.
    Only drawback is that if you are using Design View in Dreamweaver the content holders don't render. But other than that Content Holders are awesome.
