Making a link in a template

New DW8 user here and I am just starting to learn web
creation. Anyway, my department's website is here.
http://medicalboard.iowa.gov/
I would like to make the top bar be a permanent link to
always go back to the homepage with the "Welcome" message. Now I
edited that image in DW8 so it should point to the index.html file,
but when I Save it and Upload it to the server and then run my
cursor over it, it doesnt change to the little hand.
How can I fix this? Thanks experts and web gurus.

Note that the whole website navigation is just two images
with hotspots.
Your solution will surely cause problems there with such an
arcane approach.

Why do links in the template change location to 'file:///'...on the pages created from the template?

Im not sure what I am doing wrong but I am building a portfolio site from a template that I downloaded online.
The site is working and I am slowly converting it from the template content to the content that I want.
As I will be editing the site and adding more pages I decided to try and add the Header, footer and main navigation bar as a template with another gallery container and navigation as an option on the template.
I thought that it was working fine untill I noticed that the links on the pages created using the template are showing as follows,
instead of the links that were in the template that show as,
Is this something that will change when I upload the site with the template or have I done something wrong making the links?

Usually this happens when you don't use a proper Site Definition, or if you have files outside your defined site folder.
Have you defined your site properly?

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.

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,

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.

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.

Making a link hover background

I have a side navigation with six links. To each link I assinged a different class so it could have a separate background. (I used background images instead of making the links themselves into images, thus making the site easier to read for the visually impared.) Now I want to make a different background for each link upon mouse hover. What do I attach to the CSS code to do this? I know I need a compound rule, I just can't figure out what to specify to it. I'll give the line of code for one link if that helps:
.container .body .sidebar1 .nav li .videogallerylink

Torkuda1234 wrote:
"Or do you want every single individual link to have its own unique background on hover?"
Yes, that!
So use the technique shown in Nancy's link by applying a unique class to each link and applying the CSS
from the CSS
.nav li a.link1:link, .nav li alink1:visited {
    background-image: url(../images/photo%20link.jpg);
.nav li a.link1:hover, .nav li a.link1:active {
    background-image: url(../images/IMAGE-ON-HOVER.jpg);
.nav li a.link2:link, .nav li alink2:visited {
    background-image: url(../images/photo%20link.jpg);
.nav li a.link2:hover, .nav li a.link2:active {
    background-image: url(../images/SECOND-IMAGE-ON-HOVER.jpg);
from the HTML
<ul class="nav">
        <li><a href="#" class="link1">Photo Gallery</a></li>
        <li><a href="#" class="link2">Another link</a></li>
      </ul>

The following line tells me that this is not a template file, but a document created from a template called index.dwt
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
This means that you saved a child document as a template file at some stage.
If you go to Modify->Templates->Detach from Template, you can remove the template structure from your document. All you then need to do is to re-save the document as a template.

How to call a portal KM URL link from WAD template Link

Hi All
I am trying to call a Portal KM URL Link from the web template using the link control.
I cannot figure out whare and how to put the portal KM URL Link into the web application web link.
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Karen

Add content administration role to the user.
The the content administration tab would be visible to the user in the main menu tab.
Then in content administration tab, configure the URL for KM URL tab or link.
This would be done by EP experts. Please contact your EP experts to do.
Hope this would help you.

Issue with links on WAD Template when transporting from BWD to BWP

Hello experts,
We're facing a problem in our project.
Until now we we're working directly in a productive system, but last week we've copied our productive system (BWP) to the development system (BWD).
Now we change almost everything in BWD and then transport to BWP.
However, our templates that have been constructed in the Web Application Designer (WAD) have some links that have dependency on the string 'bwd', example:
"http://sapbwd.tap.pt:8"
All the links with this issue are ragarding to workbooks constructed over the Excel (BEx Analyzer).
When we transport the template to BWP the link remains the same, where the link should be "http://sapbwp.tap.pt:8"
We would like to eliminate this issue, eliminating the reference to the system (BWD) or changing the link name when the template was transported to BWP.
Is there any easy way to workaround this problem?
We're counting with your knowledge and know how to help us.
Best Regards,
Rui Romba

Hi Rui,
i don't know if understood you well, but if your requirement is to restrict users and queries execution to a specific server the solution is to create logon groups (transaction SMLG1), however this solution have impact not only in reports execution but also in the login options.
In this transaction you define for a group which instance server is allowed, in your case you could specify the server where the reports should run.
I strange the fact of your Wad reports allways open in the correct server, but it could be due to authorization definitions.
Hope it helps.

Links to Word template from Reader X

I have setup pdf document with links to Microsoft Word templates. They were working correctly in Reader 9 and they are working correctly when opened from Acrobat X Professional but when I open pdf file in Reader X the do not work. In Acrobat Pro clicking on link opens window which shows the name of the template i.e. sample.net. In Reader X it is showing the path to Winword.exe. Template is opened but macros are blocked. Can I modify some settings of the Reader X to have it working properly as it does in Acrobat Pro ?
Thanks for help.

If it worked before but doesn't work after you "upgraded" then, you upgraded the wrong thing.
You "may" have had Adobe Acrobat before but now you have Adobe Reader which cannot do what you want.
Look around in your program files. Reader should not have removed Acrobat if that's indeed what you were using.

How (best) to include links in a template?

I'm creating a ~55 page site, where most of the structure of
the site (3 nav bars, etc.) will be similar throughout. I know the
client will change the order and names of the links, as well where
they point. Yet they want to have it mostly created first.
I thought working from a template would be the best, but I
would then be unable to disable the link of the current page, say,
the "home" button when I'm already on the home page etc. Can anyone
advise a work-flow that would allow me to just edit something once
and propagate it throughout when I need to, yet not when I don't?
Thank you so much!
Nick

Take a look at my divaGPS for this. With divaGPS added to
your template,
you can freely change the menus, their links, whatever you
want, and
divaGPS will still highlight AND disable the link on the the
current
menu item automatically when the page is viewed in the
browser.
fyi divaGPSfree might be adequate for you except for the fact
that it
will not disable the current menu item's link, which is a
feature you
requested. Some people feel it is okay merely to force the
cursor (via
css) back to the default pointer. If you agree, then
divaGPSfree might
be adequate. However, if you prefer to truly disable the
current link,
then divaGPS is what you'd need.
Either work perfectly in Templates or their Children with now
special
steps needed.

Links when using Templates don't work in preview

I have created a template for the 'traditional' top banner,
left navaigation buttons site. In preview mode, any links
(navigation area or not) that point to another page in the web site
do not work, but external links go. (No error is reported, but
nothing happends) However, when published, all links work. Any
ideas what is happening?
Eample link:
<a href="../catalog.htm" target="_self"><img
src="../_derived/catalog.htm_cmp_edge000_vbtn.gif" width="140"
height="34" border="0" alt="Catalog & Renewal"
/></a><br />
The graphic does appear for the link.
If it makes any difference, this is a convert FrontPage site
where I manually edited the html to import the pages into my first
Dreamweaver site.
Thanks in advance,
Carolyn Wood

> In preview mode, any links (navigation area or not) that

This is how DW will work if you are using ROOT RELATIVE
links, *and*
temporary files to preview.
Here's an example -
* I create a page with a link to an image -> <img
src="/images/foo.gif">
(note that the image link is a root relative link - the path
says to go to
the
root of the site and look for the images folder because of
the leading
slash)
<img src="/images/foo.gif" (that's root relative - it
starts with the root
of the site)
<img src="../images/foo.gif" (that's document relative -
it starts with the
current location of the document)
* I preview that page with DW (since I am using temp files,
DW is kind
enough to realize that root relative links won't work in a
preview, and so
it converts them to document relative links when it builds
the temporary
file for the preview) -> <img
src="../images/foo.gif"> (I'm assuming that
your document is one level below the root of the site). In
the preview,
this page looks fine because the browser has no trouble with
the document
relative link - it knows where the file it just opened is,
and can follow
the path to the image).
* I then click on a link in the previewed page to another
page that also has
ROOT relative linked images --> <img
src="/images/bar.gif"> and suddenly
the image does not load.
Why? Because when you click away from the temp file DW just
built for you,
you have lost the benefit of the automatic conversion that DW
does with
root relative links, and the browser looks for this new image
starting from
the root of the hard drive, not the root of your site.
The solution is to not use root relative links, and to change
all your
existing ones to document relative.

HTML Link in Email template

We are trying to pull the service ID into an existing link in an email template.
We want to include the service ID in an email to an existing link that takes the customer to another place. We want to pull the service.serviceid and place it at the end of the existing link. Has anyone worked with this at all?
Thanks - Wendy

Thanks Craig. I can pull the service id into the email template using #Service.ServiceID#, but I can't get it to be at the end of the link to the site I want to send the user to. Example: I want to send someone to http://test.com/test/default.asp?Service = "this is where I need to pull in the service ID, so that it will be part of the link the customer will select.
