You need to make the change in the main template, not in a child page.

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 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.

Can't drag edits (regions) with precision anymore

Ever since I graduated to GB '09 fropm '05 I notice that I can't move edited regions to the beginning of measures with time-precision. e.g. If I want to place a two measure beat from one track in front of a beat on another track I can't place the new beat to meet up precisely where the old one begins and it throws the time off.

Yes, thanks I figured this out not long after I posted the question, lol...

Remove editable region *and* propagate?

Hi all,
I have an editable region in a template which I would like to
make uneditable. I can remove it in the template, but the change
does not seem to propagate to the child pages. In other words, the
region is still editable on the child pages after I apply the
changed template. Is there a way to do this or am I outta luck
here?
Thanks!

Removing the editable region markup should certainly render
that region
uneditable in the child pages. Something is preventing that
from happening.
Can you show me the child page after removing the markup and
tell me which
region you are deleting?

DW CS3 Remove editable regions

Hi
How does one go about removing an editable region in DW CS3?

Thanks David...it was rather a simple issue but for whatever reason my mind wasn't working and this had me stumped.
I have another template based question on the forum, once I get past this last issue, I think my troubles will be behind me. If you have time, please have a look.
Cheers!

Remove editable region

I am trying to remove an editable region on a template but
get a dialog box with inconsistent regions problems. I am afraid I
will mess things up if I don't know what to select from the menu.
Anyone know what to do here/?

Are you sure you have properly described what you are doing?

How to delete editable regions and template?

Hi everybody,
I posted this question earlier in the web discussions area, being unaware of a forum specific to Dreamweaver. Sorry for posting in two different places.
For the past week, I have been learning Dreamweaver CS4 from an online tutorial. I got to the place where I generated a template (index.dwt) from the main page (index.html) and created some editable regions on it. At that point, I realized that I had done all the steps by rote and did not actually absorb what I was doing. I wanted to delete the template in order to repeat the steps and gain a better understanding of the process. When I tried to delete the editable regions (modify-templates-remove editable regions), I was unable to do so because "remove editable regions" was greyed out. Nor was I able to delete the html code. I tried to delete the template itself, but when I did that, the index.html page retained those editable regions! Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get back to the place I was in before creating the template?
Thank you for any assistance.

All you need to do is detach the index.html file from the template. Then you can delete the template and start all over.
Go to the Modify menu --> Templates --> Detach from Template

Site with editable regions won't allow editing

Hi, I have set up multple sites for InContext Editing. All works fine except this last one that won't allow editing online. When clicking "Edit Page" I get a message saying "There are no editable regions." I have checked and double checked the pages and the regions are there. I've reflowed the content into all pages (template) but I still get the same message in InContext.
Please help me figure out what's wrong and how I can get the pages editable.
Here's a link to the website http://www.nolimithockey.com
Let me know if you need anything else in order to help me figure this out.
Thanks a bunch!

InContext Editing can edit only the elements having the ice:editable
attribute set.
Your page should contain something like this:
>

<div ice:editable="*">
some editable content here
</div>
>
But there are no such elements in the
http://www.nolimithockey.com/index.html page.

You say you can see the ICE regions in that page so I can only assume that
you didn't upload the file on the FTP server and you are looking at your
local version of the file, not the one from the server.

Another possibility is that you mistakenly treat Dreamweaver Template
Editable Regions as InContext Editable Editable Regions.
I can see that there are DW editable regions in your page: the elements
located between the  comments.

You can create ICE editable regions by selecting in Dreamweaver an element
and applying the Create Editable Region command under the DW menbu Insert ->

Optional editable regions in head

I'm trying to create a master template that will enable me to
include or not include cross-fading photographs in pages based on
that template.
I know that with DW8 I can insert an editable region in the
<head> (ie for description, keywords).
I know that with DW8 I can insert an optional region in the
<body> to show/hide content.
But can I insert an optional editable region in the
<head>?
I want to have the option of including a javascript file in a
<script> tag in the <head> of pages created from the
template and if I exercise the option to include it in the
<head>, I also want to be able to edit and change the name of
the javascript file.
All the help I've seen only talks about optional regions in
the <body>.
Do I use optional editable regions for this, or do it some
other way?
Urgent help appreciated - I'm stuck!
DW8 | XHTML | CSS

> But can I insert an optional editable region in the
<head>?
Not by way of the DW user interface, no.
But if you have a parameter called optionJS, with a type of
URL, and a
default value of "" (i.e., null), you could have this in your
template
document's head -
@@(optionJS==""?'':'<script src="'+optionJS+'"
type="text/javascript"></script>')@@
Then in each child page, as long as you leave the parameter
alone, no script
tag is written to the head. But to get the script tag, you
would just use
MODIFY | Template Properties, select the optionJS parameter,
and browse to
and select the desired script file, and it'll be there....

Need to add editable regions

How can I add editable regions to an existing template that has hundreds of child pages? There is one editable region for page content (in a box) in the old template, now I want to have 3 different boxes for editable content. When I update all of the pages by saving the template, the existing content (in the original editable reigion) should show up in one editable region, and the new editable regions will show up as empty boxes (until I fill them).

It all depends on how you set-up your original template. Can we see a link to your template or the code from it?

Editable Region going Crazy

Good Morning All,
I have created a template that I can use for several pages.
I added a layer so I can place my editable region, I have try
to move the editable region but it adds where my cursor is located.
Can I resize editable regions and move them in place? (it
does not let me do it)
Is there a editable region options, will it be locked that
prevents me moving it and placing it in the possition I want.
Did I did this correctly by adding a layer in the main
template and placing the editable region inside that layer? (when I
add text it wont follow the pages margins, meaning if I resize my
browser it will just stay as is)
I try by using one of the prebuilt templates in dreamweaver
8, and it does the same thing, It wont let me possition that
editable region where I need it to be...
Thanks so much for any help.

What?

It seems you are thinking of template regions as if they were
layout
devices - they are not. They are sized to contain whatever
you put into
them. The size that you see them render in Design view has no
effect on the
layout whatsoever. They are rendered within the container
into which you
place them, so, if you want to move one, delete it and then
re-insert it.
> Did I did this correctly by adding a layer in the main

You can place editable regions inside any HTML element that
can otherwise
contain page content.
> (when I add text it wont follow the

Of course - that's how absolutely positioned elements behave
(layers).

You 'position' an editable region by positioning its
container, e.g.,
If you put it into an absolutely positioned div (Layer) then
you would place
that div where you want the content to appear on the page.
If you put it into a table cell, then you would structure the
table so that
the cell appears where you want it on the page.
Get it?

How do I remove an extra editable region in the head of a specific page?

I have a single-template website. My template has the standard two editable regions in the head ("title" and "head"). Somehow, one of my pages ended up with three editable regions in the head - two named "head" as well as title. My template won't update this page because the editable regions don't match. How do I remove this extra editable region from the head of the page? I can't modify it on the page itself, of course, and I can't remove it by modifying the template because it's not part of the template.
Thanks in advance!

Your child page would not contain any editable regions if it wasn't attached to a Template. Perhaps you nested templates which is the wrong thing to do.
Go to Modify > Templates > Detach from Template.

Can't Delete Non-Editable Region in Template?

Well, I can in existing templates but if I create a new one from an existing page using "Save as Template", when I try to delete a non-editable region in the template, DW won't let me. I don't know why. Aaaargh!
It's my understanding I should be able to edit anything in a template. I've tried existing DW and restarting. I've tried using other pages as a basis for the template. Every template I create won't let me delete non-editable regions. I'm highlighting the non-editable region and pressing the delete key. I can't delete.

burro_mail wrote:
Not sure DW is doing what you describe...
But I am certain you could remove the region in code view.
Even if you are a WYSIWYG-er and not a big code-head, it should be pretty easy to remove the region markers and everything between them...
Trust me, it is. I'm wondering if the problem is associated with the fact that the source page that I saved as a template was based on a template? I just noticed that this new template refers to another template. I'm thinking that means the other template is controlling what I'm trying to do in the current template.
That's it. I just tried saving a template under a different name (still retaining the correct template file extension) but did not do the save as template. Now I can completely edit that template. So you if you save a page that is controled by a template, as a template, that new template is controlled by the previous template.
I've got a headache now.

Can't edit 2nd editable region

Hi,
I have a template which uses CSS and DIVs. It has 2 editable
regions, each within a DIV.
When I open a document based on this template, for some
reason only the first editable region is editable. The only way I
can edit the second is to turn of styles or go into code view.
Any ideas why?

relative - it doesn't

Well, for it to be a layer, it has to be absolutely
positioned, and the
difference in behavior between the two (absolute vs.
relative) is certainly
NOT picky.
Remove the overflow:auto style on the div#main container, and
you'll be able
to edit it in Design view.

I'm new to Photoshop Elements and just getting started. While in the organizer I have one group of photos up to learn with and now it says Edit in Progress with a padlock icon. How can I remove this so that the photos will be restored to normal?

Go back to the editor and close the photo there.
