Library item won't place

I am not being able to place a library item. This should not
be
difficult and I think I am doing it correctly, but when I
place it, all
I get is a hyperlink to the lbl file.
I am working on this page:
http://www.eclipsme.com/gorockledge/annualreport.html
The sidebar on the right is a library item that in this case
is a place
holder from the template that I used to create it. The
library item is
in an editable region.
I have tried a few ways of doing this. I have selected the
library item
in design view, dragged the library item from the libray
folder onto the
selected area in design view, and I get the link instead.
I tried the same process with the same results in code view.
The DW instructions say another way is to choose 'Insert' but
I do not
what 'Insert' they mean.
Am I doing something wrong? What am I missing?
Thanks for the help.

Select the Library item in the Assets panel. Click where you
want the
library item inserted. Click on INSERT on the Assets panel.
But I am not understanding your post. What happens when you
do what you
describe?

  • Library Items won't Update!!

    Argh, I've broken my menu for my website, which is a library item. I was getting an error when I validated one of the pages, and found it was an issue with my list not being properly nested within the library item's html. I thought I'd be smart and add a doctype to the library item, so that I could validate it on it's own and pinpoint the problem.
    Apparently, the doctype addition was added into all of my pages that contain the library item. Now I can't seem to easily get rid of it! I changed my menu's html to get rid of the doctype, but this change is not reflected when I update all pages. I go to Modify>Library>Update Pages... and choose to update the entire site. Nothing happens! The doctype is still in all of my pages that contain the menu, and it breaks the page (nothing shows in the Design view window.)
    Please help! I really don't want to have to delete and reinsert the menu on every page of my website. : (
    Here's an example, with the doctype error in the library item "menu-multilevel.lbi":

    I've never used Library Items.  IMO Server-Side Includes are better for this.
    Can you do a Find & Replace in the Source Code (Ctrl+F) for this line?
    <!-- #BeginLibraryItem "/Library/menu-multilevel.lbi" --><!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    And replace it with this:
    <!-- #BeginLibraryItem "/Library/menu-multilevel.lbi"
    -->

  • Library item won't update

    I edited a graphic used in my cp file, but when I go to the
    library to update it, the update library items dialog shows the
    file name with a warning icon next to it and no path. When I point
    to the icon, it says "This item is internal". Can someone explain?
    Thanks

    Rick, John
    Thanks for your responses.
    John, no I'm pretty clear on the differences between 'update'
    and 'edit with'...in this case, I had changed the graphic outside
    of Captivate, and wanted to update the image used in the movie.
    However, I haven't been using 'edit with' and may try that as well.
    Could save me a bit of time
    Rick
    I see what you're saying. I try to be consistent about
    importing into the library then inserting from there, but there are
    always exceptions--I may have copied and pasted or even moved the
    graphics. Honestly don't remember but I'll investigate.
    But I do wonder...how does importing from another movie
    affect the library? Are the items from the imported slides added to
    the library automatically?
    Thanks

  • Library items won't update - DW 8

    Help!
    I can't get my library items to update - all the files are in the folder 'Library'. I have updated all the pages (when prompted).  I then applied changes (Modify>Library>Update Pages - for the entire site).  Nothing actually updated. I am using Dreamweaver 8 on Windows XP.

    Thanks.  It's the main nav.menu on the left that I am trying to update. (www.lecss.com)
    Here's the code for the menu.lbi that has the changes (but that are not showing/updating)

  • DWT Library item won't update if there is an HTML error?

    I'm updating a DWT site for a client and I have found from time to time the library items stop updating and I believe this happens when there is an HTML error.
    Example: I omitted a </ul> tag by mistake at some point recently and updated the pages in the site. Now that I've discovered the error I fixed it, but when I update the pages the dialog goes through each page but makes no change. I've found I can fix it by opening the pages in an external editor and fixing the code manually, but this seems to defeat the purpose of the templates.
    I've tried researching this but I haven't found anyone else reporting this or any possible solutions. Is this a quirk on my system or has anyone else experienced this?
    Dreamweaver CC 13.1 Build 6443
    (Oh it's so frustrating that clicking anywhere closes the About dialog. I tried to copy the version number at least 4 times before I slowed myself down and remembered it.)

    Thanks for that. I agree with the 'it should still work'. The 'libraryitem' tags are still there and the library code is yellowed out. I just wondered if there was a quick fix to reinstate the updating.
    Since I posted this, I have discovered that the update works on files that are OPEN in DW. It's only the site files not open. I have opened all the .aspx files and run a library change successfully.
    HOWEVER, if I close those files and update again, they still don't do it. I now suspect that there is a hidden DW file, like the lock files on the server, or perhaps a component of the .lbi file, that lists the files to update.

  • DW won't let me change a library item "change will be discarded"

    I built a site and I have library items for my logo and
    navigation and some thumbnails. I want to use a different file/lbi
    file for my header. When I delete the current library item and try
    to put a new one in, I get this message: "making this change would
    require changing code that is locked by a template or translator.
    The change will be discarded." I honestly don't know what to do; I
    really need to specify a different file for my header but it won't
    let me, and I have over 100 pages and I made all thumbnails,
    rollovers, and all links manually and the file that it's using
    isn't working right. I just want to put the correct one in there; I
    don't know how I can possibly build my site completely from scratch
    - what can I do?
    This is a related issue, but I'm not sure how: I have two
    library items named the same thing in two different folders; some
    files refer to one, some to the other, but I want them all to refer
    to the correct one; I can't make change since I get that error
    message. I'm confused about which file is which, I'd deleted one
    before, then restored it...thank you so much for any help. I'm
    trying to build my portfolio site for an art exhibition...

    Happily. One of the pages of the site I'm having problems
    with is
    http://www.hopeedwards.com/TEST_new_website/Hope_website/assorted_art.htm
    I also attached code for it. [note: the home/index page only
    works in Firefox but the other tabs work in IE and Safari. Also,
    everything is shoved down wrong in IE and it only looks right in
    Firefox] I am running Adobe CS3 on an Intel based Mac Pro with
    Tiger OSX 10.4. I'm having trouble with a couple library items. The
    very top library item is logo_and_navigation.lbi - all was okay
    with it except I somehow had a couple different copies of it in my
    Library folder, so I moved one of them to a folder within the site
    called "Trashes". Then I deleted that one because I didn't want two
    copies and the logo and nav disappeared on some pages that used
    that one. I reinstated it in the trashes folder. The pages that use
    that located in the Trashes folder are the index, Assorted Art, and
    Commercial Work. The ones that use the one in the Library folder
    are Clue Series and About & Contact.
    I would like them all to use just one file so I only have to
    edit one file if I make changes. I've tried several things: I've
    tried selecting and deleting the item in the documents and
    inserting the proper copy. It won't let me. I get the message
    "making this change would require changing code that is locked by a
    template or translator. The change will be discarded." I've tried
    doing a Find and Replace and replacing the word Trashes with
    Library to specify the correct folder info but that doesn't work,
    probably because it can't change code in the library item.
    I had a similar problem with the thumbnails library items
    when I tried to build my other pages doing a File Save As from the
    first one I built in Assorted Art. When I tried to create a
    Commercial Work page from it, I deleted the thumbnails library item
    because it was the Assorted Art thumbnails. When I tried to insert
    the Commercial Work thumbnails library item I got that error
    message. It was so frustrating; I had to go in and build the
    Commercial Work page from scratch. I had to do that with each
    different tab. It just doesn't seem right that you can't swap out
    library items.
    Anyway, I'd completely appreciate any help or feedback! I
    really would!
    Hope

  • Using CSS instead of or with library item

    I built my site using Dreamweaver 8. I used the design view
    exclusively. I made a navigation bar as a library item. Utilizing
    rollovers, etc. Now I have learned I should build my site utilizing
    CSS and as was pointed out on this forum to me, to learn CSS and
    HTML.
    I am having a brain freeze. The logic escapes me as to how I
    would build a navigation bar and put it on each page as I did
    utilizing the library function before.
    I am sure for all you pro's this is a really dumb and obvious
    thing but I just don't seem to figure out the logic how to do it. I
    am not talking about the CSS for the behaviors such as hover,
    visited, active. This I know how to do. It is just the ability to
    have a properly designed navbar and be able to put it on every page
    I make.
    Murry "ACE" told me not to use AP and the dreaded mm_menus so
    I am trying to figure this out and build a better more code
    efficient site. Mine works but is quite trashy in the code.

    It can be a bit daunting.
    Try going through this tutorial completely. It's a bit out of
    date (using
    an older version of DW), and still covers the use of tables,
    but it's worth
    reinforcing your basic understandings -
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_website_pt1.html
    Then I would suggest you do this tutorial -
    Taking a Fireworks comp to a CSS-based layout in Dreamweaver
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/web_standards_layouts_pt1.html
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/web_standards_layouts_pt2.html
    Finally, to get a grip on how to manage menus across an
    entire site, use
    DW's F1 help about how to use Templates, and server-side
    includes.
    Templates do make your life much easier. I use the following
    scheme....
    First, I mentally separate the page layout into three
    sections:
    1. Stuff that will not change for the life of the site (i.e.,
    the basic
    structural elements)
    2. Stuff that *could* change from time to time (e.g.,
    navigation elements,
    burst advertisements, section-specific navigation, etc.)
    3. Stuff that *will* change from one page to the next
    Then I create a template containing all class1 elements. Next
    I create
    server-side include files containing all class 2 elements and
    place them on
    the template as needed. Note - some of the class 2 elements
    may be
    "section-specific elements", and their placement on the
    template will be
    subject to the next item. Finally, I insert editable regions
    to cover the
    class 3 items, INCLUDING the section-specific navigation.
    This allows me to just cookie-cut the rest of the site. I
    estimate that
    even for fairly large sites, about 80% of my work goes into
    planning and
    creating this template file.

  • Dreamweaver Teamplate with Library Item for Navigation/Sidebar not updating editable classes

    I have a Dreamweaver Template that contains two Library items. One Library item is my navigation bar, the other is a sidebar that shows different content depending on what page you are on. I'm assigning an editable class "active" to the navigation bar to show you are on a particular page, and also assigning the editable class "active" to the sidebar to reveal a portion of the sidebar with links pertaining to that specific page. The default value for the class is "hidden". So what is happening is when I open a page I have created and "edit" the Library Items in it to edit these classes, it resets resets all the other pages on the site to the default class values. How am I able to use editable classes and Library Items to achieve this kind of functionality? The idea is to only have ONE navigaton bar to update on the site and to only have ONE sidebar item to update. Here is an example of the sidebar and navigation in action so you can see what I'm going for. Notice the green button in the navigation bar (that is a list item with the class "active" which is an editable class in the Library Item, also notice the tan links in the sidebar, that is an unordered list that has an editable class of "active" in the Library Items --- these editable classes reset to their defaults when updating the Library Item on the website).
    http://www.brumleve.org/joe/temp/CAP/mission.html

    In my understanding, whenever you edit the contents of a library item, it will update all other occurances of this library item on the rest of the site. That's "working as designed" as far as I know, unless you break the link by telling it to not update - which kinda defeats the purpose I think.
    But theres another way to do this using template properties, i#ve been using this approach myself a couple of times:
    Write your navigation bar in the template (.dwt) file itself, then select the class= of your first menu item and choose .. (names might be off, I am using a non-English copy of DW): "modify > template > make attribute editable" from the main menu. Do so for all your menu items and name these new template properties something like "item_x_class"
    You'll end up with something like this in your template source:
    <div class="@@(item_1_class)@@">
    and a matching
    <!-- TemplateParam name="item_1_class" type="text" value="active" --> in the header
    Now, on each page, you can set the class within the template properties dialog ("modify > template properties"). If your main menu changes, it won't overwrite your template properties, but still update all pages when you do make a change to the menu.
    If you're using multiple templates for your site, consider nesting templates, so the master template already includes your navbar and all subsequent templates will "inherit" changes to the navbar code (sans the editable class property).
    Hope this helps.. or at least gives you an idea for further experiments..

  • Changed a Library Item and now my CSS no longer works!

    I am so frustrated I am almost in tears.  I created a menu in a roughly 7 page website and used DW Library menu to put it on additional pages.  Everything was working fine and then I changed a path to one of my links and hit the button to update the rest of the pages and that's when it happend.  My CSS was gone, no longer applying to any of my menus.  I created an additional CSS sheet just to style my menu and it worked fine up until I changed a frickin link to one my menu icons.  Now my CSS sheets won't apply at all.  I have no idea what has happened and why me changing the path of a link would void out my styles.  Has anyone else had this happen?  Suggestions are greatly appreciated.  Thanks!

    I don't want to rub salt into your wounds here, but why are you using Library Items for menus?   That's what DW Templates are for. 
    http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/dreamweaver_template.asp#1
    Or better still, Server-Side Includes. 
    http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/server_side_includes.asp
    Shortcomings of Library Items: they cannot be inserted into the <head> tags of documents. Nor can they contain code that belongs in the <head> tags.  Library items can only be inserted into the <body> tags. 
    My advice is to run your code through the online validation tools below and fix reported errors. 
    HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
    CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
    If you can't solve the problem yourself, upload page(s) and supporting files to a public web space you control and post the URL here.

  • Spry widget menu bar as a library item - problems

    I created a spry vertical menu bar and made it a library item.  The original works great, however when I insert the library item into its own div tag on another page, the submenus will not pop out, either in DW or the browser view. The div tag is the correct size and I made the z index high enough. Here is the code of the page that works properly:

    Welcome to the Dreamweaver world!
    Well, having your index.html page at the top/root level is important, as that is the default page by which people will enter your site.
    Having other pages in folders is fine...I do it all the time in order to keep departments or categories of information sorted.
    One characteristic of having pages in folders is that the hierarchy of files in folders (perforce) puts them at different depths in the site.
    This is not inherently a bad thing! Just one to remain aware of. When you look at your site files in the Files Panel, you can see a graphical representation of those different levels.
    But the nature of a library item is that it is identical in all its instances, which is what makes it useful...change it in the library, and it changes site-wide. The down-side of that identity is that when your files are at different depths in the hierarchy, their links back to, say, home (or any other same file) will change depending on the depth. You can see this if you make a link on a page, then drag the page (in the Files Panel) to a different depth...say, into a folder when it started at root level, or vice versa. Check the link, and you will see that it automatically adapted to the new path.
    Library items do not do that; they do not change, so some of your links will be 'wrong' when you refer to pages that have different paths than the ones originally set up in the library item... because of the change in hierarchy.
    All this is, of course, reliant on your creation of the site in the first place, as defining the root folder's location on your computer gives Dreamweaver a starting point for handling (juggling?) all the location-information for your site's files.

  • Template Expressions in Library Items?

    Hi All,
    The quick question is this: can template expressions be made
    to work inside library items?
    Here’s the situation…
    The page:
    http://www.fretbank.com/basics/intervals/index.html
    I have a 3-tier template structure in place – 1-Root,
    2-General Page Structure, 3-Topic Categories.
    If you look at the page, I have buttons below the header that
    point to different topics. Each topic has several pages. All of the
    pages from each topic are child-pages from a specific Tier-3
    template.
    The buttons use template parameters/expressions on the Tier 3
    temp. to determine the state of the button.
    I currently have to copy the code for the button nav into
    each topics template and any changes have to be made in each
    template. I am going to be adding many more topics and want to find
    a shortcut. I guess I could make a 4th template tier and have each
    of the category templates be children of that, but I’m hoping
    to avoid this. It would be easiest to be able to make a library
    item and paste it where I need.
    I thought about using SSI’s but that wouldn’t
    work with the expressions. Any other suggestions?
    Thanks,
    Troy
    here's the code if it helps:

    > Is having the link outside the div a problem in older
    browsers?
    It's invalid HTML. That's enough for me. And I suspect it
    would be a
    problem somewhere, as you are trying to make the entire
    <div> tag a link.
    > This allows me to only have to change each of these nav.
    elements on one
    > page.
    I would opt for a single template structured so that changes
    to CSS could
    'specify' the particular section layout. Then I would choose
    server-side
    includes for the navigation elements, and place them into
    strategically
    placed editable regions of the single template, depending on
    which section
    you are needing to navigate.
    Having only a single template is not only possible, it's MUCH
    simpler than
    nesting them.

    I have several songs that I purchased. They show in my library, but won't play on any of my devices - including my computer. I keep getting the "authorize the computer" prompt. My computer is authorized! I have done all the troubleshoots that are available. How do I get my computer and other devices to be able to play these songs? Almost all  my songs play except for about 8 or 9.

    If only some of the songs on an album are giving you the authorisation message, that suggests those song files are damaged.
    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • Cannot drag and drop library items to master page

    I'm using Windows 8 and just downloaded Muse. In following along the tutorial (https://helpx.adobe.com/use/how-to/create-website.html) the instructor has us download some graphics. One is a library item, which opens fine in the panel, but I cannot complete the action the instructor does, which is to grab the color swatches from the library panel and place them on the main template. Any ideas?
    TIA

    I called Adobe support and it turns out that my desktop computer is 32 bit. When I tried it later on my newer laptap which is 64 bit, I can follow along on with the video without any problem. The 'updated' version on my desktop is a slighter different version than the one for my laptop. Don't know if that helps anyone else.

  • Templates & Library items - best practice

    I've been having a bit of a heated discussion about how
    templates and library items should be used on medium to large
    websites.
    I'm of the opinion that you should have 1 template (or as few
    as possible) and any differences be managed with Library items.
    My colleague's argument is you should have a different
    template for each section, so for example 1 for the news, 1 for the
    features section (for magazine sites) so that if you have a banner
    section wide you change that template, as opposed to the way I'm
    used to which would be 1 template with multiple library items in
    the editable regions of the template, my reasoning for this is the
    large amount of html used for each template (like rollovers) can
    become inconsistent when there's more than one template. Like if
    you change something site wide you have to remember to change all
    of the templates, if you do this with a simple copy past DW can
    still make corrupt code if you use multiple templates.
    So basically I was wondering if there was a standard or best
    practice way of doing this.
    Thanks

    Your colleague is mistaken IN MY OPINION. I think you are on
    the right
    track *unless* your section pages are *SO* different in
    layout that you
    cannot conveniently include all of the
    alterations/permutations in a single
    template page. Further, my current workflow is to rely
    heavily on
    server-side includes within template pages, as described here
    Templates do make your life much easier. I use the following
    scheme....
    First, I mentally separate the page layout into three
    sections:
    1. Stuff that will not change for the life of the site (i.e.,
    the basic
    structural elements)
    2. Stuff that *could* change from time to time (e.g.,
    navigation elements,
    burst advertisements, section-specific navigation, etc.)
    3. Stuff that *will* change from one page to the next
    Then I create a template containing all class1 elements. Next
    I create
    server-side include files containing all class 2 elements and
    place them on
    the template as needed. Note - some of the class 2 elements
    may be
    "section-specific elements", and their placement on the
    template will be
    subject to the next item. Finally, I insert editable regions
    to cover the
    class 3 items, INCLUDING the section-specific navigation.
    This allows me to just cookie-cut the rest of the site. I
    estimate that
    even for fairly large sites, about 80% of my work goes into
    planning and
    creating this template file.
    For what it's worth, I never use Library items....

  • Multiple Body tags error when using library items

    Hi all,
    I have a navbar that I created in FW and exported as a DW
    library item. When I drag and drop the library item (navbar) into a
    site page, I get an error every time I try to save that page. The
    error states that the body tag was in the wrong place and has been
    moved to the right place. The problem is never fixed though and I
    keep being spammed by the error dialog.
    In reviewing the code, it appears that the library item has
    its own body and preload. So adding the library item to the page
    causes a duplication of the body tags and preload images code.
    Any thoughts as to how I can fix this or avoid it would be
    greatly appreciated.

    You are right, no <htm> <body> or css styles go
    into a library item.
