Layers inside of templates uneditable?

Hi, and thank you in advance to anyone who can help me with
this.
I'm trying to find a way to make an editable repeating table
row in a table that is inside of a layer. For some reason when I
make the region it will work for existing pages updated by the
template, but not for new pages I create using the template. I read
in another topic something about Visibility=scrolling being a
problem, but am not sure what the problem is. I do know that I have
visibility for the layer that contains the table set to auto. It
seems to me that if you have a repeating region in a table inside
of a layer, you need this.
I am not married to this method, but rather, just looking for
*any* way to make a box, with a background image, that is a fixed
size (and content beyond that size will scroll), and that contains
a repeating region where I can add text entries in some particular
format (and sometimes active content). This seems like it ought to
be easy, so I feel certain many people have done this and I am the
only one who is mystified. I have tried it on more than one
template and had the same issue, although I notice if I make the
entire layer editable, the problem goes away (but then I have
positioning issues, because the whole layer is repeating, and
that's not what I want).
Any help will be greatly appreciated! Let me know if I should
post code, but basically, it is any editbale repeating table row in
a table inside a layer.
Thank you!
Leha

We would need to see your page to understand what might be at
work here.
Can you post a link to one of the pages, please?
Of course, the location of the editable region within the
code would make no
difference as to whether it is really editable.

SMARTFORMS :How to print an inernal table inside a template cell?

Hi all,
I have a smartform which contains a template.
I want to print inside a cell of the template the content of an internal table.
Is this possible ?if yes , how to do that ?
Thanks.

Yes, it is possible.
Create inside your template a loop. Then create inside a text which you address as i.e. row 1, column 1 of your template (cell address).
Now when looping through your table it will place all data in some work area .i.e wa. In your text provide name of the components you want to dispaly i.e. &wa-comp1&.
Please note, that length of your template must be long enought to fit all tables entries.

Rules inside email templates

Has anyone tried calling a rule from inside an email template?
It seems like everything has to be passed in from the workflow to the template. I'm wondering if I can call a rule from inside the template itself to get the data.
Thanks!!

From our experience we found that calling rules from email templates doesn't work. It doesn't give any error but it doesn't work.

Selecting Layers Inside Collage

I'm having trouble selecting specific layers inside a
collage. Many of the layers overlap, so the smaller images are
harder to select, sometimes even impossible.
It'd be much easier if I could select the image from the
timeline. But I'm trying to alpha tween each of the images and
selecting the layer from the timeline doesn't give me access to the
color menu in the properties box.
Also an unrelated problem with the images which I've imported
from photoshop. The layer masks I've created for each of these
images aren't showing completely. The mask is very blotchy.

You might try unchecking Auto-Select and set to Layer instead of Group.

Illustrator layers inside AE

Hi everyone!
Apologies again for my lack of knowledge in this area. I have multiple layers inside Illustrator, each with the shape outlines for different words. See this thread...
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/872916
...for details (and many thanks to CarlosCanto again!).
Everything works great inside Illustrator -- all of the layers are in sequential order of how they were typed. However, once I import the Illustrator file into After Effects, all of the layers are alphabetized by the name of the layer (no longer in the order they were originally typed). I need to preserve the layer order from Illustrator inside After Effects.
If anyone could help out it would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks!
EDIT: I'm using all CS4 products, if that helps.

Okay... I suppose that works.
I ran into another problem though. The selection boxes around all of the layers are all the size of the composition, and not the size of the words. This makes it really difficult to move the words around by hand, because they're all stacked on top of each other.
When I imported the Illustrator file I chose "Import as Composition - Cropped Layers" thinking that would do the trick. Is there any way to make the selection boxes the size of the words and not the whole composition?
Thanks!

Webcenter Services inside adf Template

Is it possible to insert webcenter services (like search or documents) in a site template? So instead of inserting services in every page, it would be inside the template and load in everypage that included the template. I´m using Jdev 11g. Thanks!

I think it should be possible. Just try it :)
Create a template and drop a webcenter taskflow on it and see if it works :) Nothing will explode if it doesn't work :)

Why does spawning templates merge all layers on the template?

I've created a multi-page form document in Adobe Acrobat X. I've created form fields and javascript throughout. The document also has several layers set up for customizing the view. The layers contain graphics that the user can pick one of to display. Now, some of my papers I have defined as Templates.
The problem is, when I spawn a template as a new page, that new page has all the layers merged together. The layer visibility doesn't appear to apply to the new spawned page. Is this a known issue or is there a setting I'm unaware of?
Thanks,
John

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately, the layers are part of the background of the page that I designed in InDesign. The entire document is a series of page forms of various styles and layouts. The layers that I was using control whether the form has a Silver or Gold tone to the decorations, headers, etc. It's not really something I can put as button icons. I may just have to have only one appearance for the form. The spawning of templates is more important.
Thanks,
John

SCRIPT calls inside a template - these won't update

OK, no more \\ talk... Please! you say... and I agree!
Well I may have committed another faux pas, this time in a .dwt. The following code is found inside my "master template" for this bike shop.
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<title>Exeter Cycles, Exeter New Hampshire - Specializing in NH Seacoast Cycling!</title>

<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="new hampshire, exeter, cycles, cycling, bicycle, shop, new, hampshire, seacoast, mountain, road, bmx, kids, kid's, bike, bikes, riding, rides, tires, chains, cogs, wheels, handlebars, tubes, brakes, pedals, pedalling">
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="../mouse_over1.js"></SCRIPT>




<link href="../css/site_wide.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
Note the 8th text line where I use src="../mouse_over1.js" and in the .js we change colors on some click buttons as the person rolls over. This is inherited code and I take no credit for having created it - but now I'm dealing with it and trying to learn a little about what this does and how it does it. However, if I look in, say index.html (which is built and updated on this template) this is what I get after an Update as well as after a File >Save All:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="mouse_over1.js"></SCRIPT>
No ../mouse_over1.js and so the mouse_over feature fails when index.html is first called to a browser. The result is the infamous "red-X" syndrome - the graphic is not being found. I think it's because the template has ../ but somehow is not applying it to index.html. Strangely, when updated, all other pages (except this one) get template changes applied and any of the other buttons are clicked the links work and the color changes also work. It's only when the page (index.html) is first called.
Now as an experiment, I commened out the above line in the .dwt to see what the results were. And in index.html this is what I see in idex.html:

Note that in the commented section here, the template imposed ../. I then go back, un-comment the template at that line and I get:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE = "JavaScript" type="text/javascript" src="mouse_over1.js"></SCRIPT>
No dot-dot-slash again! So, what do I have? Maybe I don't know that a <SCRIPT> item should not be included in a template and maybe this should not be included in a template. Or maybe it positioned incorrectly in the template.
What do you good folks think?
H

OK, I am still having trouble with this. I have tried everything - honestly have - to get the proper code set up in the Template so that it propagates correctly out to my pages. I've put in the "../" in the Template - updated. I've left off the "../" in front of each "src=". That completely fails. I've moved everything to the root of my C drive (I was desperate!). The graphic elements (clickable button box links) appear when index.html is called from "Preview in Browser" but as soon as you rollover any other button, that button goes to "red-X" meaning that the reference is bad. Clicking on the "red-X" button brings you to the proper page so the links work. But when "About Us" for example is called or clicked, they all work ("rollover effect") fine.
I must have some sort of structural defect or there must be a setting inside DW that I don't know about that makes this happen. I have a tendency to think it's a basic structural fault:
File/Folder
Location in Tree
index.html
C:\My Documents\EC\TodayWork\
Templates (folder)
C:\My Documents\EC\TodayWork\
EC_Master_Template
C:\My Documents\EC\TodayWork\Templates
about_us.html
C:\My Documents\EC\TodayWork\AboutUs\
services.html
C:\My Documents\EC\TodayWork\Service\
15 jpgs for rollovers (varying colors for effects)
C:\My Documents\EC\TodayWork\graphics\
mouseover1.js
C:\My Documents\EC\TodayWork\
more files with the same basic structure
Here is a chunk of code from my Template:
<a HREF="../index.html" onMouseOver="imgOn('holder')" onMouseOut="imgOff('holder')">
<img name="holder" src="../graphics/home.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="90" border="0">
<br />
</a>
<a HREF="../services/services.html" onMouseOver="imgOn('img3')" onMouseOut="imgOff('img3')">
<img name="img3" src="../graphics/work_gray.jpg" alt="Services" width="100" height="90" border="0"></a>
<br />
Here is the resultant code in index.html:
<a HREF="index.html" onMouseOver="imgOn('holder')" onMouseOut="imgOff('holder')">
<img name="holder" src="graphics/home.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="90" border="0">
<br />
</a>
<a HREF="services/services.html" onMouseOver="imgOn('img3')" onMouseOut="imgOff('img3')">
<img name="img3" src="graphics/work_gray.jpg" alt="Services" width="100" height="90" border="0"></a>
<br />
And here a chunk from services.html:
<a HREF="../index.html" onMouseOver="imgOn('holder')" onMouseOut="imgOff('holder')">
<img name="holder" src="../graphics/home.jpg" alt="" width="100" height="90" border="0">
<br />
</a>
<a HREF="services.html" onMouseOver="imgOn('img3')" onMouseOut="imgOff('img3')">
<img name="img3" src="../graphics/work_gray.jpg" alt="Services" width="100" height="90" border="0"></a>
<br />
I've looked over the javascript. I've not touched it in any way from the original because I don't know much about java so I've left it intact.
if (document.images) { //if image object is available
img1on = new Image(); // MouseOver Images
img1on.src = "../graphics/product_color.jpg";
img2on = new Image();
img2on.src = "../graphics/racing_color.jpg";
img3on = new Image();
img3on.src = "../graphics/work_color.jpg";
Again, this has similarities to the case I brought up a couple of weeks ago. I apparently didn't learn enough from that experience. Do the inidiv pages have to come out of their folders and be on a peer level with index.html? I don't understand where I could be wrong with this structure. DW is doing what it's designed to do. I'm setting up "Document Root" in the initialization screen. I just ran into a buzzsaw on this one.
What should I be looking for to get this done. Everything else on the site is working fine "locally".
I don't expect someone else to build this. If I don't do this on my own, I don't learn. But here all my self study has left me without a clue.

Layers inside of Symbols

I'm watching a flash tutorial from cartoon solutions on lip
synching. In the timeline there are three layers- the head, body
and sound- and when the presenter clicks on the head graphic symbol
it opens a different contingent of layers with the component of the
head(nose, mouth, etc.). This is something that I'm trying to
duplicate but can't figure out how. I'm using FlashMX and don't
know if that was a feature added later. There don't appear to be
any folder icons in the timeline, either.

and to add to jesse's (thanks), instance names only if
using/nesting movie clips - i work with
Graphic symbols as much, if not more than MCs. Just in case
bippity is not using MCs - since he is
following along with a cartoonsmart tutorial, most likely
they are graphics symbols.

Using a SubTabBar inside a Template

Does anyone have a template that contains a SubTabBar?
I am using subtablayout/subtabbar in my pages and it works great. However, when I put them in my template, then when using the template in my pages, the page items are rendered outside of the subtabbar as opposed to inside of it.
How do I set up the template and pages so that the subtablayout/subtabbar is in the template?
Thanks,
Connie

You can Add content preseneter and also check whether you hav put all the footer requirements in the UCM and that should be in released mode.
After adding to the page you can choose the template summary to show in the desired view...
here is the complete step by step process yo can go through it.

Sub Layers inside of Web Layer - Re ordering

I am trying to re-order sublayers in the Web Layer. It is realy for organizational purposes but I would still like to do it. Does anyone know if there is some kind of trick to get this to work. All the other non-Web layers allow the re-ordering of sublayers as expected.
Regards,
Steve

I can't imagine why you would attempt to crearte web layer sub layers. The web layer is active across all layers on a selected page. As each page has its own web layer, you can create a different slicing template for each page.

Can we set a variable used inside the template from the java code.

Hi everybody,
I am uploading template,sub template and data xml fle to generate the preview using XDO API's. My main template is calling a sub template so it needs to import the sub template in the main template.since i am uploading my files on a particular server,my subtemplates has been put on different path as specified in the main template.
so i need to change the subtemplate path dynamically at run time.
is there any way i can pass this information to my main template at run time.
one solution could be,my rtf template has a variable 'i' inside it,which is setting the file path to include my subtemplate like this :
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, i ,"import:file:///c:/Temp/htmlmarkup.xsl")?>
<?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, i )?>
now is there any way i can set this variable at run time from my external java code.?
Thanks,
Anuradha

Thanks for the response.
but i still am looking for the solution.
if both my template and subtemplate are in the same directory then atleast
<?import:file:../htmlmarkup.xsl?> should work.
but its not working...i m getting following error:

CS6 - add non-editable region inside editable template region?

I have the following in a template:
    <div class="main-content">

      <div class="content p7ehc-1"> 
        <h1 class="page-topper">Enter topic here</h1>
        <p>Enter content here</p>
      </div>
    
   </div>
Right now everything in main-content is editable. I'd like to add "Page last revised - " at the bottom of the page which would be non-editable. An editable date would follow.
I already have a number of pages with content so any solution should not destroy the content of those pages. (If needed I'd be willing to manually add "Page last revised -" to each of those pages. However, I'd want this to be automatically added for any new pages that were based on the template.)
I have tried putting "Page last revised -" in another div and making it non-editable but this creates other layout problems. I currently don't want to explore this option further.
Thanks for any suggestions.

You could always drop a server-side include or even a Dreamweaver Library item into that editable region (the latter method is a poor second choice, though). Is that a reasonable solution?
Failing that, manually adding Ben's code both to the existing child pages and the current template will definitely place that code into newly created child pages. The beauty of his suggestion is that it's self maintaining, meaning that the code will always show the proper date on each page.

Flash inside a template

When I insert a flash movie into a DW template, I can see it
perfectly when I preview the .dwt page in the browser but when I
create a page based on that template and preview it, the flash
movie does not show.
Has anyone similar problem? Does anyone know how to slve it?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Luis

Make your link to the flash file be root relative.
