IWeb ignores Dreamweaver templates. do we just need to ban IWeb users?

Just did a new site in Dreamweaver. Then a guy came in with iWeb and mangled it. iWeb completely ignores the template tags in the file. the web pages were damaged.
Do we just need to ban cheap programs like iWeb that hide the HTML to make it "user friendly"? Seems iWeb is creating a proprietary format template to make everyone use iWeb.

I have to agree with Tom here. It is impossible for iWeb to do this to a site created in Dreamweaver. iWeb cannot open a site such as this, as it is not an html editor and cannot import any site created in any other program. It is impossible for your web pages to be damaged by iWeb as iWeb as a program cannot open your Dreamweaver site. In iWeb, the html code is only created when the site is published either to a MobileMe account or to a folder.
All I can say is that if you don't like iWeb then don't use it. This forum is for iWeb users not Dreamweaver users. Surely there must be forums around for people that use Dreamweaver?

Is it correct that you have to "put" each page sperately? I modified a few of my pages and the only way I could get them to update on my website was to go to each page then go Site - Put, i had to do this for every page i had modified. Also my original issue has been resolved by opening each page allowing the template to update the page and then save then go Site - Put for each and repeat for every page on my site. even though all pages have been created from the same template and when the template is updated i say yes to updating all other pages. Is this how it's meant to work?
Yes.
DW Templates only propagate changes in the non-editable regions of the Template to child pages locally.
Once you've updated all child pages on your local hard drive, you must then upload them all to the web as a separate step.
That's the cumbersome downside to using DW Templates.
I don't use them personally. I prefer Server Side Includes to insert identical content sitewide on websites.

I got a new computer and have reinstalled Dreamweaver. I don't need to set up a new site, just need to set up reinstalled Dreamweaver to manage the old site on the company server. Does anyone have a step by step walkthrough for doing this?

The site files are on our server and I can still access them. I was not the one who installed and set up Dreamweaver initially and don't know very much about the program Just enough to manage our simple site and keep it updated. Just need help setting it up so that it's back to managing our website.

Go to Site > New Site and define your site. See screenshots:
Servers: Enter your FTP log-in credentials and remote server's root directory. If unsure, check with your hosting provider for details.

Need Help Reslicing Photoshop Site Layout to Update Dreamweaver Template

I created a website in adobe photoshop cs3 and sliced it up
to created an html file with sliced images. My main navigation menu
is made up of graphics.
I brought it into dreamweaver and created editable regions,
created rollovers etc. Then I created a dreamweaver template from
that to create the rest of the web pages for my site.
The client has come back to me and wants to add more menu
options to the site. This is where I'm stuck! When I use photoshop
to make more menu slices, it renumbers them. How do I export the
new slices with the new layout so I can use them to update my
dreamweaver template. How can I get those new slices/html layout to
the dreamweaver template without losing all the work I have done on
my current dreamweaver template?

The slicing is not the problem. It's the export as HTML that
is the
problem. And you'd have to ask Adobe that question if you
want an answer.
We are all just volunteer peers here.

FW HTML is no better.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/why_fireworks.html
At any rate, read this -
http://apptools.com/rants/spans.php
- and then look
at your code and count colspan, and rowspan attributes.
Unfortunately, the
only way to avoid this mess is to learn enough HTML/CSS that
you can build
your own tables in DW, and do it in such a way that you don't
rely on
merging and splitting cells (which is what generates those
colspan and
rowspan attributes).
Again, unfortunately, you are REALLY stuck in a bad
situation. Since you
have a) used a completely graphic menu button array, and b)
used a graphic
background behind the menu buttons, and c) chosen to embed
that graphic
background in each sliced button, you cannot add new buttons
without
remaking the entire menu. You will only make that mistake
once. I never
start building menus until I have an approved site plan in
hand. By the
way, that's a nice looking layout.
I don't see any clear path to salvation here. Since you are
absolutely tied
to PS for exporting the HTML and slices, you will have to
recreate
everything, I believe.

Can my iWeb '08 site be fixed,or do I need to just wait for an iWeb update?

Ever since my "upgrade" to iWeb '08, the text in my webpages does not appear. I haven't changed any fonts or colors. I have had to put my website back to it's iWeb '06 version.
Cyclosaurus mentioned that my "text box elements has attribute style.visibility set to hidden" and that I might be able to correct it if I were javascript saavy, I should be able to turn visibility attribute to visible with a few lines of javascript.
How do I do this? Does anyone know any quick javascript that I could cut-and-paste, maybe within an iWeb HTML Widget, that could counteract the "attribute style.visibility set to hidden"? Perhaps I can do this until Apple fixes this Bug/Glitch in iWeb '08.
Can my iWeb '08 site be fixed,or do I need to just wait for an iWeb update? Please help.
Thanks.

Just published my first iweb website : need reviews and advices

Hey all,
I just published my first iWeb website, which I created over the past few days. It's in French and related to my wedding, but I'd be interested in hearing your reviews on how I can improve the website, add new functionalities, and make it even more user friendly.
I'd like to add a guestbook, but haven't found one that I like enough as off now. I also would like to add more features / multimedia stuff, so any idea is welcome.
Just a note : our wedding theme is on the 50s, and the colours are brown and old pink. The first pic on the welcome page is a drawing of me and my wife inspired by an old ad we found on internet.
http://www.davidetcoraline.com/
I also would like to know if I can have a facebook integration without using MobileMe. I'd like any new article published on the website to be posted directly on my facebook account. Is that possible ?
Thanks for your reviews.

David ~ I don't know, but you may be able to find something in the many threads on the topic — click HERE.
If not, consider using a larger font for your text in iWeb. I run my MB Pro at a non-native resolution so that everything appears bigger — but the text on your site is still uncomfortably small.

Dreamweaver Template Issues

Heyyy,
I have been trying to set up some Dreamweaver Template files.
I have defined an editable region for the content to go in, I then create a new file using this template and start editing the page. However when I put in too much content, the editibale region doesnt flow or stretch its height to match the content. (I have attached a screenshot of DW to show that the design looks fine, but you can tell that the content overflows the editable region guidelines)
This isn't a problem in any browser apart from IE7 (which I have attached a screenshot of to show you what is happening) where the content doesn't display properly.
I was just wondering if anyone might know how to correct this issue? If I need to provide any more details, code or screenshots it would be great if you could let me know. And thanks for any help offered!
Cheers,
Ezra

Ezra-The best thing you can do to get help on this is put that page out there on a web server and provide a link. That will give the very helpful people here all the resouces needed to view what might be causing your problem. If you don't do this, it's just a guessing game that really nobody wants to play.

Dreamweaver template declaration affects Google Map loading

My Dreamweaver Template declaration statement

is preventing a Google Map from loading. It works fine in IE and Firefox, but not in Safari and Chrome. The weird thing is, if I move it above the following declaration is works fine.
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
Dreamweaver inserts and locks this code so the only way I get it to work is to either detach it from the template completely or edit the code in a text editor before upload. I need a different fix. I'm hoping that there is actually other code in my page that is leading to the declaration problem although it seems unlikly.
For reference here is the html that calls the map
<a href="javascript:;" class="content" title="Location Map" onclick="mopen('map1');loadScript();return false">Location Map</a></p>
                  <div id="map1" style="visibility:hidden;"> <span class="content"><a href="javascript:;" class="closemap" onclick="mclose('map1')" title="Close Map">Close</a> </span>
                    <div id="googlemap1"> </div>
                  </div>
For the code or to see for yourself go to http://www.outbackadventures.com/trips_classes/kayaking/kayak_classes/intro_paddling/index 2_3.html
Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

The problem has been solved. It seems that Google Chrome and Safari do not entirely ignore comment tags such as Dreamweaver's template declaration.
In my "lazy load" Google Map code taken from a Google employee suggestion
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/msg/4e2acbe1ca7f0324
Example at http://imagine-it.org/google/gmaps-samples/dynamicloading.html
there is this line of code
document.documentElement.firstChild.appendChild(script);
As I understand it Chrome and Safari may read the Dreamweaver template comment

as the first.Child and therefore results in invalid html causing an error and no loading of the script.
This was solved by the help of folks at this post:
http://groups.google.com/group/google-maps-api/browse_thread/thread/101bc4c59d098367/0decf 0c096119f82#0decf0c096119f82
Essentially the code above needs to be modified so that it reads from the head section rather than from above it. To fix this, replace the above code with either one of the following lines:
document.getElementsByTagName(\"head\")[0].appendChild(script);
document.documentElement.getElementsByTagName(\"head\")[0].appendChild(script);

Dreamweaver Template Error: Error reading file (Site Location/info) returned incomplete data

Hello!
I am working on new website we are creating for our company. I have never really had any Dreamweaver template file errors before...so this one has me really stumped! We purchased the site files from Template Monster and I have contacted their tech support, but I have not had much luck with them.
I started out by creating the Dreamweaver template folder that includes the template files that I would like to use. I started creating some pages using the template. I placed all the html pages in the main folder of the website. When I go to update the template to those pages I get the following error: "Error reading file (Site Location\Folder name\Dreamweaver template name) returned incomplete data".
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
The site is a CSS based site with a Flash navigation menu. Since it is in the production phase, I do not yet have it placed on a server so you can take a look at it at this time (although if really needed and we cannot find an answer, I may be able to get the test site on line - if someone thinks they can help me answer this problem by viewing the site). Right now the site is housed in the same place we house all of the other sites we have produced and all of our other templates on our other websites work just fine. The main difference with this site is that we did purchase files from Template Monster to help speed us along during the construction of the page structures and also this site has a Flash Navigation Menu and a few other Flash elements (something our other sites do not really have).
I am using Abobe Dreamweaver CS5 and Windows 7
Thanks again for taking the time to help find and answer to this problem!

I am curious as to why no one likes them around here.
They have spammed these forums in the past.
The code on their pages is rarely 'best-practice' code.
There are much better choices available.
My co-worker and I have to share the files, since we are editing the site together. The files are not local on our computers, but on the company's f drive that have Novell on it.
This arrangement is a recipe for disaster. The correct way to collaborate on a site with a colleague is with the following setup:
Each of you must have a LOCAL site (local to your workstation)
You would use a single remote location as a staging area, so each of you would have a site definition that specifies your own workstation for the local site, and the same network shared location as the Remote site
You will both need to enable Check In/ Check Out
You will both have to agree to PLAY BY THE RULES!
One (or both) of you will also need to have a second site defined that has the staging server as the local root folder, and would have the PRODUCTION server as the remote site. I'll explain how to use this site soon.
When you use CI/CO, your 'gold-standard files' are on the staging server. To begin working, you would connect to the staging server, and double click on a file, which will a) fetch the file from the staging server to your local site, and b) CHECK OUT the file to you. As long as you have the file checked out, it cannot be edited by your colleague. When you are done with your edit, you would CHECK IN the file (which uploads it to the staging server). It can now be edited by your colleague.
When you add templates to this scenario, things get even more complicated, although manageable. If you ever need to make a change to a template you must use the following procedure:
ALL FILES MUST BE CHECKED IN - this includes both you and your colleague.
One of you would connect with the SECOND SITE, open and edit the template, and save it propagating the changes to all "LOCAL" files (i.e., on the staging server).
Each of you would then need to return to the FIRST SITE, and again check out any files you want to work on.
When changes are done, and files are ready to publish, connect to the SECOND SITE, and upload the files from STAGING to PRODUCTION.
Does that make sense? It's important that it does.
I need to add in one more tab/link to the Flash nav bar.
Using Flash for navigation is a VERY POOR CHOICE, unless you also have redundant, text-based navigation on the pages. By using Flash to navigate, you guarantee: a) your pages will not be spiderable by search engines, b) your pages will not be navigable by iPlatforms, and c) your pages will be inaccessible to anyone browsing with screen assistive devices. Someone is making bad decisions about this site, in my opinion.

Dreamweaver template giving up "instancebegineditable tag inside editable region" error

I have been searching the internet and any forum I can find relating to Dreamweaver and find it has been a comman problem for a lot of people but the solutions they got have not helped me. I created a template by following steps via a helpvid.net tutorial and the site looked very good for being basic enough but since last night when I try save the template it gives up the error "there is an error at line 8, column 47 (absolute position 789) of "file address": InstanceBeginEditable tag inside editable region." Now from what I have read on the forums it usually means there is a mispelling or something placed inside the region when it shouldn't be but there is only 50 odd lines on it and can't see any problem. When I view the files it gives the error about, there are duplications of the "begin editable region" a number of times but they shouldn't be there because they aren't on the template. Im also finding that before this error came up the pages looked fine when uploaded but now the footer height which was set to 20px is 200px when uploaded and I have checked all coding for it and checked the Divs but still see no error. I have uploaded my tempalete and some of the pages that its giving errors about to see if that helps, not sure if its best to just paste wall of coding so ill post links to the files and if code needs to be pasted here ill do so. http://dublinmoulding.com/ <- site im working on, it can be seen the footer is very big. Should be 20px height but inspect element shows its 200px - #wrapper #footer { color: #FFF; height: 200px; On the template it is #wrapper #footer { color: #FFF; text-align: center; margin: 0px; font-size: 18px; font-style: normal; font-weight: lighter; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding-top: 5px; padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-left: 0px; height: 20px; http://dublinmoulding.com/dreamweaver/temp1.dwt <- my tempalate The error is given up on every page created using the template
**Update** I edited the file names of some of the pages that I used the template on so now it shows the coding.
http://dublinmoulding.com/dreamweaver/index.html6 <- my index page
http://dublinmoulding.com/dreamweaver/about.html6 <-about page

No need for tricks. We can view source code directly from our browsers or with Inspect Element.
Like I said, I don't see any code errors in your Template or child pages.

Free Dreamweaver templates related to photography (fullscreen) see 2 example websites?

Hi,
I'm a photographer and I downloaded some Dreamweaver template packs but they are all related to usual corporates, pity enough nothing related to photography.
Can anyone recommend templates or a template pack (freeware) related to photography?
By this I mean almost fullscreen to present the pics as they are supposed to), examples : http://www.haringphotography.com/?splash=1 or http://www.sandernagel.nl/photo/commissioned/portraits_various/374
I have the pictures but not the templates....
I don't know anything about programming, it may be html or other format html5,... (as I heard that other formats will be for the future, just like flash that gets less interesting)
This to relace my more amateurish looking free Wix website
Maybe there are websites with free dreamweaver templates where you can see a picture of the examples ?
Thanks!!!

WordPress is a dynamic site. It needs PHP and a connection to a MySql database to run. Unless you have a local testing server (WAMP or XAMPP) installed on your computer, you won't see local content in your browser.
WordPress consists of 800+ files in 80+ folders. Strangely enough, none of those files are complete pages. They are all just bits of code which the web server assembles and combines with content from the database. In short, there are no real web pages. WordPress is a virtual site; basically a one page site that is created on the fly by the web server. This is a difficult concept for people who are accustomed to working with static HTML pages.
Unless you're a skilled coder, you must not edit the WordPress core files in DW or you will break the site. The only things you can safely edit in Code View are the Theme files:
WP/wp-content/themes/theme_name/page.php
WP/wp-content/themes/theme_name/header.php
WP/wp-content/themes/theme_name/index.php
WP/wp-content/themes/theme_name/footer.php
etc...
http://codex.wordpress.org/Templates
If you're not experienced with code, don't waste time trying to modify your WP theme in DW. Simply install WP on your server and have a go at it...
InMotion and other reputable web hosts have apps to simplify WordPress installation. You can invoke the install wizard by logging in to your server's C-Panel and pressing a button.
Good luck!

Non-Dreamweaver templates for Contribute

Are there any guidelines anywhere for creating the equivalent
of Contribute editable/non-editable templates for sections of HTML
pages which were not created by Dreamweaver; for example,
guidelines on the use of  etc.?

Ian,
The Dreamweaver template system works from the standpoint of
a "deny all, allow some" mentality.
Initially a Dreamweaver template file allows no editing to
any sections. When modifying the template in Dreamweaver or any
other text editor, the addition of the begin/end editable pairs
enables the editing of any content existing within the tag pair.
If you want to create a template for use with Contribute
outside of Dreamweaver just create the file with any editable
sections you desire then change the file extension to .dwt and
place it in the "Templates" directory on your CPS managed
webserver. Any files in the "Templates" directory that end with
".dwt" will be loaded on the next startup of the Contribute client.
By default the Publisher and Writer roles allow access to all
templates in the "Templates" directory via the Contribute client.
Also, make sure that the "whatever" text mentioned by Murray
is unique to each individual editable region.
Please note that the Contribute/Dreamweaver template
interaction is *not* a run-time template system. Dreamweaver
templates are design-time templates. If you have sections of the
template that change later then those changes will need to be
applied on a page-by-page basis to each page using a given
template. This functionality is automatically handled within the
Macromedia workflow by using Dreamweaver to download the entire
site then having it update all pages that are based on a given
template.
The piece of the code that denotes which template is assigned
to a given page is as follows:

with an acompanying closing tag of:

The "InstanceBegin" tag should follow the opening html tag
and the "InstanceEnd" tag should precede the closing html tag.
The important piece of the "InstanceBegin" tag is the value
of the "template" attribute. This needs to be the path to the
specific template file relative to the webroot on the server.
Hope this helps.

No sound in Dreamweaver template

Hi everyone, I'm brand new to Dreamweaver so please excuse
the stupidity of what I'm about to ask. My problem is this: I have
created a few templates that's been working just fine with text and
images but now I want to embed a sound file and can't for the life
of me get the sound to play. I've tried including the sound file in
the template but to no avail and have seen mention on various sites
of unlocking the header but haven't worked out how to do this. Can
anyone throw me a line on this? I'm midway through a majorly
important project and would really appreciate any advice.

http://www.spentharvests.com/templates/school_chapter.dwt
This file is not found by the browser.
Even this file -
http://www.spentharvests.com/Templates/school_chapter.dwt
(the templates folder name should always have an initial cap)
The code on the child page appears nominal. But at the
bottom, you have
this -
<div id="copyright">© 2007
spentharvests.com</div>
<embed name="CS1195492309000" src="../bethelWAV.wav"
loop="false"
autostart="false" hidden="true" width="0" height="0"
enablejavascript="true"></embed>
<embed name="CS1195506747203" src="bethelWAV.wav"
loop="false"
autostart="false" hidden="true" width="0" height="0"
enablejavascript="true"></embed>
The sound file is linked TWICE, and only the second link is
correct. So in
the template, change it to this -
<div id="copyright">© 2007
spentharvests.com</div>
<embed name="CS1195506747203" src="/School/bethelWAV.wav"
loop="false"
autostart="false" hidden="true" width="0" height="0"
enablejavascript="true"></embed>
(i.e., a root relative link directly to the sound file)
and see if that helps.

How to add Dynamic .php content to a Dreamweaver Template

OS: Windows 7
DW Version: CS5
PHP: XAMP Local Server
I hope someone can help. I have created a Dreamweaver Template for .php and created 5 child pages of this template. Everything is in working order as far as that is concerned. Here is my problem:
I want to add some dynamic data (some categories) from a MySQL database to a nonEditable section of the main template so that it will flow to the 5 child pages. I can create a connection to the database with no problem, but when I go to insert a recordset into the template, it asks me to set up the "site", "document type" and "testing server" which I have already done. I am pretty sure that this is because it is looking at the .dwt file type and saying that it needs to be a dynamic document like .php. I have tried going through those steps, but then it just ends up renaming my .dwt file to .php and then it is no longer a template. I do not know why I cannot add dynamic data to a dreamweaver template. It seems like it should be a no-brainer, but it just isn't working out for me. In my research, I did locate the following
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Extending/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f53d610 8-7fdb.html
but wasn't completely sure how to apply it or if it only pertained to CS4 since I am using CS5. To be honest, it confused me more than it helped.
I really hope there is a logical and simple solution to this issue as I have spent a lot of time researching/testing this.
Any help/direction is greatly appreciated. I am not looking for someone to just solve my problem and am willing to dig deep to learn, I am just do not know where to go from here.
Thanks again in advance for your assistance.

Brad,
Thanks that worked! Although I will have to re-create my child pages and re-link my style sheets and scripts. But that will not be too difficult as I have not yet added any content to them and is a very small price to pay for the answer to my bigger problem. What is a bit quirky is that I did try to create a test .php template but when I saved it, DW did not automatically add the .php to the end after .dwt. but rather just named it test.php. I didn't think to just rename it since I had read that it would add it automatically so I thought I was doing something wrong.
Maybe there are settings in the preferences that will fix this. None-the-less, I can now move forward with my development thanks to your timely response. I really appreciate it.

IWeb ignores Dreamweaver templates. do we just need to ban IWeb users?
