Making a Template for Adobe Contribute - without Dreamweaver
Given the task of making a web page that must exhibit regions editable with Adobe Contribute CS5, and having only a plain text editor (not Dreamweaver), exactly what needs to be done to the associated XHTML file? For example:
1. Does the XHTML file need to be named with an extension other than ".html"?
2. When denoting an editable region within the XHTML, what is the exact syntax of the "begin editable" and "end editable" tags?
3. Is a CSS file referenced within the XHTML in the typical fashion, or must something special be done to reference a CSS file?
Are there other changes that need to be made to an XHTML file in order for it to work properly with Adobe Cintribute CS5?
Thank you in advance for your helpful responses.
*** Please note that this question was posted earlier; perhaps errantly, in the Contribute forum.

The 'child' page can be named with any extension.
2. When denoting an editable region within the XHTML, what is the exact syntax of the "begin editable" and "end editable" tags?
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="editable_region_name" -->
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
3. Is a CSS file referenced within the XHTML in the typical fashion, or must something special be done to reference a CSS file?
It's all just HTML - and needs to work properly on the server. Nothing special needs to be done.

No.
I assume your client IS using Contribute.
But - a word of skepticism. This sounds like a project bound to fail. I know templates like the back of my hand (liver spots and all) and would hesitate to take it on....

I would like to purchase Contribute. We currently do not have any of the creative suites or Contribute. How much does it cost to just get the single user for Adobe Contribute CS5? And how do I purchase that?
I think it's just a little over $200 if you don't have an older version to upgrade. Around $100 if you do.
You can get it at www.adobe.com/products/contribute.html.
Click the "buy" button (top right of the page) then select "full" next to where it says "I want to buy". Add it to your cart (at that point you should get the exact price). -
ZAV template for Adobe CS6 ETA
Hi, anyone knows if the ZAV team is working on the application template for Adobe CS6? Just wondering as we are looking to deploy this soon and it would be great if there was a template available or at least knowing the template is coming would be good too.
cheers
WilWil,
I'm not privy to what the development teams are doing, but if you need a template for CS6 you can always file a feature request at www.novell.com/rms and make it known that CS6 is wanted (I'm not sure if anyone who would actually be able to push for that internally frequents the forums and I wouldn't be able to do much besides file a feature request anyway).
In the meantime, snapshotting should generally work. -
Slideshow compatibility for Adobe Contribute?
Hello --
I know this isn't exactly the right forum but it appears there is not a Contribute forum.
I am almost done creating a website for a cllient using Dreamweaver. I used Fireworks to create two different slideshows - one simple using layers, the other using the slideshow create feature.
My client has now decided they want edit capability. They currently have Contribute however it is not able to edit either of my slideshows. Does anyone have any suggestions on slideshows & Contribute?
TIA
~christineHi Christine,
could it be you could use these?

Is iWeb a substitute for Adobe Contribute
Someone developed a business website for me 12 years ago. For the past ten years I have been using Adobe Contribute to update/modify that website. However, once I installed OS 10.10 Yosemite, Contribute would crash upon opening. I contacted Adobe Contribute and was told Adobe Contribute is NOT compatible with Yosemite. There is no update from Adobe at this time. I need to update my business website however.
It is not clear to me if I can import my website into iWeb for updating and if so how to do that.
Or, alternatively, is there a simple application (non-Apple) I should use that is Yosemite compatible?
I am using an iMac 27 inch (2011), 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, OS 10.10.1iWeb does not have any import facility, so no, you would not be able to import your site into iWeb - you would have to re-build it from scratch.
Also, iWeb is no longer supported or sold by Apple and this has been the case for over 2 years now.
You would do better to look at other alternatives and if you already have a website, you need one that has an import facility.
If you have been using Adobe software, then the alternative that works with Yosemite and has import facilities is of course DreamWeaver.
Another alternative with import facilities is Flux V. Both have quite steep learning curves.
Your other alternative of course is to re-build the site from scratch, so you could look at EverWeb as an alternative there or if it is for a business site, then try the Content Management Systems, such as Drupal, Joomla or WordPress - these are better for business sites and you can allow membership too. -

Edit Responsive Design template using Adobe Contribute
Hi,
I am creating a website which is based on responsive design layout. I am using HTML5 and CSS3 for the framework.
It has 5 static pages e.g. "About US", "FAQ", "Contact US"
My customer wants to edit the content of the page using Adobe Contribute. E.g. want to edit the content in about us or Contact Us.
Now whenever we edit content using Contribute, it sometimes adds styles or <p> tags.
Please advise if we establish the website server in Contribute, can the text will be editable using Contribute CS5?
If yes, what will be its pros & cons?
Thank you
Monica MandalWhile designing Responsive layout we have three css frameworks: Skeleton, Bootstrap and Foundation.
If we are creating CMS Responsive layout (where user can edit using Contribute), is there any way to decide which CSS framework is more preferable for Contribute?
Use whichever stylesheets best support your project goals.

Making own Templates for iPhoto
in iPhoto `08, when you export pictures as a website, you can choose either a default template or one with bordered images.
I wondered if there wont be more templates with the time. As long I figured out where those Templates are stored. Depending on the localization you can find it i.e. in:
Photo.app/Contents/Plugins/HTMLExporter.iPhotoExporter/Contents/Resources/German .lproj/Templates
I tried to make an own template by modifying a copy of one of those templates. It works pretty fine. But there is one problem:
iPhoto uses as variable stuff like <ipt_photo>, or <ipt_links>.
I can change any html synthax I want in those templates, but when I set those iphoto synthax just on another place, iPhoto doesn't translate them anymore, when it proceedes to generate the html files.
Anyone any idea???Why not use iWeb where you have 24 frames and 26 customizable page themes to use? Much more flexible than the limited web export from iPhoto and no hacking required.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. -
Re: Need Templates For Adobe Photoshop Elements 10
I have been wondering the same thing?! I wanted to get templates from a company that I order prints from. Can you download templates to elements 10? Because I have no clue how to. Or I Need to Try Photo Shop Design.
LisaPremade temples. I see where they have there templates. Whcc has them for there prints and products. You need to download them and add them to photoshop( which I either need to keep trying or It just wont work for elements 10.) It will have there template ,such as circle. So when you are ready to order its going to fit the item i am ordering too.. and not be cut off. I could just build one in Photoshop and guess. Keep everything in the middle. I use this for photography products. Like, Photo Press cards, Photo albums, bookmarkers, stickers, and ad's. I just don't want to get the CS3 right now. Its outta my price range.
I do like how there are so many backgrounds to elements 10. I just need to keep messing with it. I hope this program works for me. -
Need Templates For Adobe Premiere Elements 10
Please help me out. I am trying to finish more vidseos for my wounded warrior project and could use some help with a few pre-made templates. Thanks!
Welcome to the forum.
When you say "templates," exactly what are you referring to?
As Neale points out, there are Title Templates, Menu Sets, Themes/Instant Movie Templates, etc., in the Additional Functional Content (separate install from either the media, or from a separate download file), plus similar at Muvipix. However, I wonder if that is exactly what you are seeking. A bit more about what you need would probably be useful.
Good luck with your Projects, and please let us know just a bit more.

I'm trying to use the new Contribute CS4 to see if I can
build and use templates for client websites without the use of
Dreamweaver. This is probably a very elementary question, but can
this be done and if so could I get a little jump start on
methodology?
It seems that the default in a template is that no region is
editable except those around which the "editable tags" are used. I
can't seem to make that work that way.... One moment while I get
this egg off my face..:-)
Greatly appreciated:
RayI don't know how you got Contribute to accepr this template.
It should give an error message cause your code has a major error
in it. I think you copied you source from a page that was generated
from a Dreamweaver template either by Contribute or Dreamweaver.
This will not work, cause there is code added to the html file that
is created from a template to recognize this page as being created
by using that certain template.
You should remove the next code:
<!--TemplateInfo.codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="True"-->
from your template.
Safe the file as name_template.dwt!
Upload the file to the server an place it in a root folder
named /Templates.
When you generate a page from the template you posted,
without that particular removed wrong code the page will look like
this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/template3.dwt"
codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->
<title>test</title>
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
</head>
<body>
Let's have some text that's not editable.<br />
<br />
And also a non editable image.<br />
<br />
<img src="logo.jpg" ALT="logo" /><br /><br
/>
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="EditRegion3" -->
