Link properties in templates

I'm using dreamweaver cs4 in desing mode and I cannot
understand how to make my hyperlinks appear differently than set by
the page properties. I see some explanations on here but they all
explain it in "code" view which is harder for me to understand.
My problem is that I set the default link propertie in the
"page properties" of the template. The links work fine because they
are a dark background in the template. When I include links in the
edit regions of the finished page with the template applied they
are hard to read because that potion of the page has a white
background.
What is the easiest way to set default link colors in pages
with different backgrounds?

As the Bard said, "Therein lies the rub". If you browse this
group you will
find not dozens, but hundreds of posts advising "learn HTML
& CSS" before
proceeding further. That is proper advice as your experience
shows. Design
view will allow you to do simple and basic things, kind of
like following a
well-beaten path. Now you want something off that path,
specialized link
formatting. That requires direct code modification. Sorry,
that's just how
it is. If you're willing to pay that price here is an
excellent starting
point:

How to make link in a template editable in a page?

I am new to Dreamweaver. I'm trying to create a link in a
template where the URL is editable in all pages derived from that
template. I tried using
Modify->Templates->Make Attribute Editable..., but the
link still cannot be edited in any of the pages. Can someone help
me with this?
Thanks,
PeterM

Sorry, that's just the way editable attributes work.

For example, I have a

Just put the link inside an editable region. The link will
appear in
new pages made from the template, but you can edit or delete
the link
in those child pages.

Problem with links on email templates

Problem with links on email templates
Hi,
We have been having issues with links on our email templates. Some of the links point to the following URL:
http://server'sname/thirdparty/FCKeditor/editor/fckeditor.html?InstanceName=emailTemplatesDTO.htmlBody&Toolbar=NewscaleFCKEditorToolBar#URL
Sometimes we get “Unknown internal error” on the web page.
Can anyone help or advise on how to resolve this issue?
Many thanks,
Wesley.

Hi Wesley,
This is rather late, but we've seen the same thing frequently (and I believe can replicate it). It's caused when you a creating a new email by copying the content of an existing one with a name space in it.
Upon copying, the link gets scrambled. The approach we use is to copy the email in to a new template, then strip out all of the URL links and add them back in.
Thanks!

Links to Word Templates

I am trying to create links to Word templates but when
someone clicks on them they become documents instead of the *.dot.
I checked and someone said that the web server needed to be
configured to have a MIME type assignment for *.dot files as
"application/msword"? Are we supposed to do this in Dreamweaver,
and if so how do I do it?

MIME types are added to the server. How to do this depends on
your server.

Data Link Properties wizard doesn't display correctly.

Hi, This is Dai.
I'm using Oracle DB.
When I try to create configuration of Identity Center and to config DB connection, Data Link Properties wizard doesn't display required DB provider.
The document of "SAP NetWeaver Identity Management Identity Center Getting Started" discribes that I should choose "Oracle Provider for OLE DB", however, I can't see it in the providers list.
The list of DB provider is below.
Microsoft Jet 4.0 OLE DB Provider
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Indexing Service
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Microsoft OLE DB Simple Provider
MSDataShape
OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Directory Service
And I want to select "Oracle Provider for OLE DB". Are there any settings or configs before this configuration? If you have some information, please help me.
Best Regards,
Daisuke Ikari

Thank you, I installed 32 bit client. And it's working now
But now after IC initial configuration there is one more error which says-
"this identity center database is not migrated to 7.2" And when i refresh the node it also says -

I have also attached the screenshot for the same below, I also ran update-mxmc.cmd to update DB.But still same error.

Links for BC Templates

I would like to look in more detail at the templates that Business Catalyst supplies.
Are there links to these templates to browse the sites?
I have found the Oxo eCommerce template: http://oxoecommercetemplate.businesscatalyst.com/
but cannot find others. Am I missing something obvious?

Hey Lynda Spangler,
I would recommend creating a new trial site from within your Partner Portal for each individual template Business Catlayst provides. This way, you can also log into the admin console and have full control over the customization of these templates.
Cheers.

CSS Link Properties

i used the page properties to set the link properties on all
of my pages. the pages appeared fine on my browser (safari) but on
other browsers, my sidebar links have the link color. I've been
reading other topics related to this and I somewhat understand
changing the link properties using css to the specific div tags but
I am running into trouble.
I don't want my sidebar links to to have red boxes around
them. Isn't it true you can override the css style in the
<head> with an inline style in the html element?
When I try to change these properties the effects either
don't take place or the layout changes. I'm still fairly new to css
and I understand what I must change but I am coming up short. would
this be the code I would use so that they would not display red?
<div class="sidebar1">#sidebar1 links go
here#</div>
CSS Document:
.sidebar1 a:link { color: #FFFFFF; }
.sidebar1 a:visited { color: #FFFFFF; }
.sidebar1 a:hover { color: #FFFFFF; }
.sidebar1 a:active { color: #FFFFFF; }

> I don't want my sidebar links to to have red boxes

> true

> element?
Yes, but that may not be the most efficient way to do it, so
it would be at
the bottom of the alternative list.
> would this be the code I would use so that they would
not display red?
It could be, but it will depend on what else you have on your
page. At the
least, you should shorten that code like this -
.sidebar1 a { color:#FFF; }
(which would apply to ALL links at all link states within
div.sidebar1)
Are you not seeing that have an effect?

Link Properties box

In my office we noted that in version 8 of Acrobat you cannot keep your link properties box open while navigating to multiple links. Instead this box has to be closed before moving to the next link and/or bookmark. Unlike version 7 which does allow the link properties box to remain open. This feature in my organization is without a doubt amazingly helpful - and will unfortunately prevent us from updating the remaing stations to version 8.
Is this an intended change to the product and/or have there been any patches made to resolve this? The problem my environment has with this change is it increases the work load by doubling the amount of mouse interaction needed to link and/or audit already created links to a PDF package.

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.

Different Link Properties within Page?

How can you change the properties of different link within
the same page? For example: the color of the link, look of the
link, etc.
Reason is that I have links behind two different back drops.
How can I accomplish this? Thank you.

No, I don't think that's a good suggestion. It will fail in
IE, and it has
an unnecessary use of custom classes.

Changing Link Properties

Hello! So I am trying to build a page with a CSS template from Project VII called Mercury, and am having a little difficulty (I'm new to this whole CSS business, since I'm actually migrating from iWeb!).
I have changed the text I've selected into a hyperlink, and now am trying to change the link color and underlining; I've discovered the Page Properties selection on the Modify dropdown menu, and that worked great! However, it also changed the look of all of the links on the page, which isn't exactly what I wanted. What should I do here?
Thanks a bunch!
- Catboy. Meow!

Define a set of pseudo classes for all your link states in your CSS. (.foo = whatever you name you wish to use.)
.foo a:link {color: orange;}
.foo a:visited {color: red;}
.foo a:hover {color:green;}
.foo a:active,
.foo a:focus {color:yellow;}
HTML:
<a class="foo" href="some_link.html">Foo Link color</a>
<a href="some_link.html">Default Link color</a>
