Links inside pages built on Templates

Does anyone have any info on putting links inside an editable
region of a page constructed from a template. The links work fine
if I take them out and put on a normal page but not insde the
template based page. Is there a way around this.
If anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
Catherine

Catherine: You are mistaken. Being in or out of a template
would have no
effect on DW's ability to maintain the links (as long as the
links are
plainly visible in the HTML).

Pages Built from Template not working when put

Hi,
I am building a site with CS3 and running it to test it on
onother site in a sub-directory - but, although the pages all work
as expected when viewed locally, some are totally blank when put on
the server - when I view the source they only contain;
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0
Transitional//EN">
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=windows-1252"></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>
so its not like the page is not there - its just that all the
content has been skipped. I have tried re-putting, deleteing from
the server and reputting - all with no success. Several pages,
built from the same template work great, but just a few are like
this...
I have searched the net and forum, but can't find a similar
problem - any help would be very gratefully received

OK - I think that I have a system or corruption
problem - I just tried another full upload and now nothing is
working... I'm switching to my laptop to see if the old Dell is the
problem.

Pages created by Template view and preview Ok - Except when linked on page

I created a template in DW. The template contains a background image and an editable region. I made some pages using the template / updated my pages and saved them as html. I have worked with templates before.
Here is the problem. I can open, view the html files in DW that I applied the template to, they look normal. I can preview the files in IE.
If I click a link in lets say the index file, to another lets cay contact.html file that I applied the template to, it only loads the editable region and I don't see the template applied. If I pull up the file, say contact.html in DW the template is applied and if I preview it the page displays. No background image or dropdown includes are on the page and the template is not applied for some reeason in preview when linking from a hotspot. The path is correct.
I tried this several times and still no luck. I even uplopaded to the web and the same thing is happening.
Please advise as to what I should look at? I can direct you to an example if need be. -
Dreamweaver MX user.
Thanks,
Greg

Here is the code of an html file in which the region is editable. The template has been applied to this page and is one of the pages that is having a problem.
I will need to look further into your last response, although it makes perfect sense to a webmaster like yourself, it only makes partial sense to me but I do undertand the point. I will look into that furher, thank you for your response.
When looking at the code, my Background image was repeating and I do not want it to. I edited some of the code and although, it does not look clean, it does work. Maybe this is part of the problem.
In this example, I did get the background to work, not sure how, but my includes and a image over the background with the hotspots are not wodking.

Can links inside "set text of container" behaviours open in a new page?

I am using the set text of container behaviour to show different information within the same page, to keep things neat and simple to navigate. Some of the text needs to be external links, but they open in the current page, not a new page even though I have set the target to _blank.
Is there another way to keep using the set text of container and have the links open in another page?
thanks!

Well, after some further google searches, I'll answer my own question...
selecting the link inside the set text of container and adding a behaviour to it - "open in browser" will make the link open in a new window.
Or ading target="_blank" to each link will do the same

How to change the color of the links inside a portlet ?

Hi,
I have to apply a css into one of the portlets of my page. Since I thought it would not be easy I figured out that the only thing the client cares is the color of the links inside the portlet. The portlet has a bunch of links and these link should be blue and 12pt. Does somebody know how to do that ?
Thanks,
Rafael.

Change hyperlink color:
There are about 50 predefined styles with each template. They are modifiable. Hyperlink is one of the styles.
Follow this process:
• In your document select a word of text, any word will do.
• Style it the way you want your hyperlinks to look.
• Show Styles Drawer from the View menu.
• Find the Hyperlink style in the drawer and right-click on it.
• Select - Redefine Style from Selection - in the pop-up menu.
That's it. You've changed the hyperlink style for this book.

Can't click inside editable region in template based HTML document in CS5

Hi Everyone,
I m having a strange problem in Dreamweaver Cs5. After making the html page based on template, when i am opening the HTML page to edit content in editable region, I couldnot click inside the editable region. I can make changes in code view but not in design view in Dreamweaver Cs5.
Please help if anyone knows the solution. It is really creating a mess for me.

Because I didn't create the code, rather it was dreamweaver, i believed that DW is obviously broken. Because I have a bunch of sites I made in earlier versions and when I start using a newer versions, CS5, I now can't access the editable region in any of them it seems DW is broken. So, I didn't think the code was necessary. I thought it was something that others have already experienced and resolved. However, that doesn't seem to be the case. Thanks though for helping with what appears to be broken. Hopefully it's an easy fix because there's other sites I have that this annoyance is plaguing me...

Page consistency without templates?

I am on Macintosh using Dreamweaver 8. When I was on MX2004,
I used templates and never had a problem. Then, with the 8 upgrade
they changed some weird thing with the templates which screwed up
all my links on pages I'd already built. So I don't want to use
templates anymore. They were a nightmare. I don't want to revisit
that.
Now I'm creating a new site and I've created it with CSS, by
the skin of my teeth since I don't really know CSS. It's going to
be a rather significant site. Lots of pages. What are my options,
for things like the menu bar and the footer, so that when I get the
site up and running, if I want to make changes to those things, I
can make the change one place and it will reflect the change
globally throughout the site.
I thought library was the way to go, and then when I made a
change, it seemed to do the same thing, or something similar, that
the templates did, screwing up my links by looking for them in a
buried folder.
I'm I relegated to changing each and every page by hand if I
don't want to use templates?
Thanks,
Caat

There should be nothing in the Templates folder other than
the template
files, themselves.
All links in your template file should be correct *from the
template*.
It's really quite simple....

Oracle PeopleSoft CRM pre-built VM Template

Hey!
Am looking for a pre-built VM Template of Oracle PeopleSoft CRM.. In the instructions it says:
Visit http://edelivery.oracle.com/oraclevm
Complete your registration information (Name, Company Name, Email Address and Country) and click on the download agreement
Select "Oracle VM Templates" from the "Select a Product Pack" pull-down menu
Select "x86 64 bit" from the "Platform" pull-down menu
Click "Go" and then select from the list of Oracle VM Templates
Download and unzip the files and read the readme
But I can't find PeopleSoft listed in after hitting the "Go" button!
Is there any other way to download it?
Thank you in advance.

It seems Oracle needs to revisit their pages more often, the link you pointed is really out of date. The PSoft OVM CRM91 PTools 8.50 you read from the page you linked is dated from August-2010 when I see my software repository...
The Peoplesoft OVM Templates have been globally decomissioned three years ago I think, you have no luck to find out one of them unless you have already downloaded them.
Nowadays, Peoplesoft is working with the so-called Peoplesoft Images, virtual machine for VirtualBox. Unfortunately, only available for those who have a valid Customer Support Identifier (paid support) and access to My Oracle Support.
The Peoplesoft images are rebuilt on regular basis, perhaps every quarter - depending of the application, with the highest maintenance level (application and tools).

Updating child pages from a template in CS4

I built a site that uses one template. Everything was going along fine I'd make a change to the template and I was able to update all the child pages. I made changes to the template yesterday and nothing updates. I try using the update the site... I choose the files that use and the one template I have and none of the pages update. I've tries re-saving the template file as a template and still nothing updates.
It has never immediately done an automatic update to the pages. It always seems to be a while before the update these pages pallette comes up. And again sometimes it will update all the pages, but most of the time not.
I've done a search of the discussions to see if I could find a solution, before I posted this. The ones I found do not have a solution that works for me.
So does anyone know what to do?
On a related issue... I usually create a page save the page to the site folder and then apply the template. I have tried to create the page from the template, but the graphic in the background of the container div doesn't show up. I usually have to then apply the template to the newly created page to get that to show up. So what's up with this?
Thank you!
Nina

Try saving the page to the site after creating it, even though the graphic doesn't show up. It should appear when you save it.
Just for drill, here is my "Seven Common Mistakes" post - do any of these cover your situation?
Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes not propagating from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in the site other than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the Template (which will not propagate)
5. Assume that Template changes will be effected by just uploading the changed Template file to the server without also uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between Template and child page is broken
7. Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the Template, adding page specific content, and resaving the Template with an *.html extension rather thanits *.dwt extension. (you can tell if this is the case by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything like <!-- TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done). If you *have done this*, then recreate the child pages (in DW) using FILE | New > Page from Template, select the Template and click CREATE.
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced > Recreate Site Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing them. Have you done any of those?

Can you force a link inside a .pdf to open the "linked to" document in a new window?

When I have a link inside my .pdf document - linking to another .pdf document or to a Word document - how can I force the linked-to document to open in a new window?
I have a web site (business internal, so unfortunately I cannot point to it). My HTML menu has links to .pdf documents - no problem. However, once I open those .pdfs, they contain links to other .pdfs and to Word documents. Clicking on these links, which reside inside my .pdfs, opens the "linked-to" docs in the same page. How can I force them to open in a brand new frame?
All of my .pdfs were originally created in Word, and in the Word versions, the links DO open into new frames. I am not sure why, when I convert them to .pdfs, they lose this feature.
Can anyone help?

Hi Magenta,
Would you mind reposting this question over on the Acrobat boards? You've posted in the AIR forum and you'll have better luck with this over there.

How to change text + links in footer of existing template

Hello,
I need to change the text and links on the template footer that goes to all TABs. (Home, Articles, About Bluemont, BCA, Contact Us).The file is named NavigationBlank.dwt."
This footerwas created to link visitors to our "join or contribute" page on another site. Now I want to stop using that external site and build the capacity to take memberships within the BluemontVA.org site itself. However the template footer can't be changed so easily as text on a page.
I am webmaster for a local nonprofit (web address = www.BluemontVA.org), but work on a website I inherited. It is a wonderful design, but I don't fully understand it. I have not worked with templates before.
I have read O'Reilly on "Adding a basic editable region" in a template, but need further help.
A couple questions worry me:
How much damage may I have done already by trying? For example, I do seem to have removed the old text/links and added a new text message on the NavigationBlank.dwt page -- but these changes do not show up on the other TAB pages.
Also, when I place the cursor n the design side it no longer tracks to the corresponding spot on the code view. (the cursor shows up in code view way above where it is supposed to be by the text). This is true for the home page and also for several pages I took a look at.
Can I follow instructions to change the template from any of the pages on which it appears? Or do I have to be at NavigationBlank.dwt?
Thanks for any help or advice you can provide.

I'm confused.
Working With Dreamweaver Templates (.dwt files).
PART 1
    1. Create a page with all the sitewide elements (common header, footer, sidebar, CSS styles, etc..) that you will need for your project.   This requires some careful pre-planning even for small web sites.
   2. Validate your code & test this prototype page in all major browsers.
   3. When you're completely satisfied with the page layout, SaveAs Template.   DW will save this as a .dwt file in a site folder called Templates.
   4. DW will ask you to add Editable Regions for stuff that will change from page to page.   Do this and SAVE.
   5. Close your Template.dwt file.
PART 2
   1. File > New Page > from Template. Select the template you wish to use. Hit OK.
   2. This is a child page. An exact duplicate of your Template however you can only edit content within editable regions. Everything else is locked.
   3. SaveAs index.html (your home page) or some-other-filename.html.
PART 3
   Repeat PART 2 for each additional site page required.
PART 4
    1. Open your main TEMPLATE file and add a navigation menu with links to your site pages. Do not put this into an Editable Region! If you do it won't show up on child pages.
   2. SAVE.
   3. DW will ask if you want to populate changes to child pages. Hit yes.
   4. Publish all site pages to your server.
PART 5
   If you should ever need to edit your TEMPLATE .dwt file, Repeat PART 4.

How to add an internal link on pages 5.0.1?

Could anyone please tell me how to add an internal link on pages 5.0.1.
I am making FAQ list, and I would like to make the first page of the document as a list of questions and when a user click on each question, it jumps to the answer (in the same document).
I found "Add link" tool but it allows you to jump URL or email only.
I was able to set the list of questions as an index page of "Table of contents" tool and jump to a question page by clicking each page number, however, it fails when I put a question in a table (I would like to place each question and answer in tables for a visual purpose).
It seems a jump by using "Table of contents" become invalid when the contents are placed in a chart. WHy?
Are there any way to solve this problem?
any advise will be appreciated.

Command Link inside table to external website in popup window

Hi,
I am trying to have a command link inside a table which is on the tables id. I know that if I have control of the destination page I can use setCurrentRowKeyValue. However I do not have control of the external website. So I cannot add it into my faces-config.xml file? I have tried putting a GoLink and a GoButton but I get the following Illegal character in fragment error, when I put my destination URL in. An example of the format the URL is:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio?&music=#{row.PrimaryKey}&adf=123
Where I am adding in #{row.PrimaryKey} which is the Id of the row. I would like to have the new page opened into a pop up window if this is possible.
I am not sure if this can be done in the backing bean or whether my approach is the correct one?
Many Thanks
Steve

something like...
<af:goLink text="#{row.PrimaryKey}"
destination="http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio?&music=#{row.PrimaryKey}&adf=123"

The action or actionlisteners never get called. Now here is the funny thing.
1. If I move the action link outside the datatable it works.
2. if I change the scope of the bean to session it works
3. if the datatable contains more than 1 row it works
The last one tells me this is a bug.
To test this I change the sql query to limit the result so 1 row would be returned.
The sql query returns a CachedRowSetImpl
I believe this is a bug.
<h:dataTable rows="6" first="0" id="table" binding="#{event.eventdata}" value="#{event.eventdetails}" var="eventdetail">
<h:column>
<h:commandLink value="#{eventdetail.title}" action="#{event.resaveEventaction}" actionListener="#{event.resaveEventdetails}" id="test" >
</h:commandLink>
</h:column>
<h:column>
</h:dataTable>

Here is some additional information that makes this more confusing.
The following code is used to populate the datatable
public CachedRowSetImpl getEventdetails(){
     CachedRowSetImpl rs2 = null;
     String selectedeventmy = selectedevent;
     int rowcount = 0;
     try {
          sql = "SELECT * FROM event where eventid='"+selectedeventmy+"' ";
          rs2 = RunQuery.mysql(sql);
          rowcount = rs2.size();
     } catch (Exception e) {
          // TODO Auto-generated catch block
          e.printStackTrace();
     return rs2;
where RunQuery.mysql is
public class RunQuery {
     public static CachedRowSetImpl mysql(String sql) throws Exception {
          CachedRowSetImpl crset = null;
          InitialContext initCtx = new InitialContext();
          Context envCtx = (Context) initCtx.lookup("java:comp/env");
          try {
               DataSource ds = (DataSource) envCtx.lookup("jdbc/associations");
               Connection conn = null;
     Statement stmt = null;
     conn = ds.getConnection();
     stmt = conn.createStatement();
     stmt.execute(sql);
     ResultSet rs = stmt.getResultSet();
     crset = new CachedRowSetImpl();
     crset.populate(rs);
     rs.close();
     stmt.close();
     conn.close();
          } catch (Exception e) {
               System.out.println(e.getMessage());
          return crset;
if I replace the line
String selectedeventmy = selectedevent;
with String selectedeventmy = "61";
it works properly.
selectedevent is populated from the following triggered by another action event on another page. ? The funny thing is if the result set returns more that 1 row all works ok.
public String viewDetails(){
     System.out.println("Running view Details");
     int selectedrow = eventlist.getRowIndex();
     Object selected = eventlist.getRowData();
     Map rowdata = (Map) selected;
     selectedevent = rowdata.get("eventid").toString();
     System.out.println("Selected Event:"+selectedevent);
     outcome="eventdetails";
     return outcome;
}
