Move Editable Template Region Outside Block Tag

I am trying to insert an editable region into a template. I
position my cursor, then choose insert/template objects/editable
region. But when I try to save the page, DW tells me I have placed
the editable region within a block tag and that users of this
template will not be able to create new blocks in this region.
"Move the region outside the block tag if you want users to be able
to do this."
OK, but how?

One easy way -
Click in the region where you want to insert the editable
content. Look at
the Quick tag selector (at the bottom of the document pane).
Examine a)
what tag is selected (if any), and b) what tag is shown
directly left of
that selected tag. It (b) is a <p>, or <h#> tag,
then select it instead by
clicking on it in the Quick tag selector. Now apply your
editable region -
INSERT | Template Objects > Editable Region.

Locking editable template regions to Contribute users only

Hi,
I would like to know if it's possible to lock some editable
template regions to Contribute users only? We need to have these
regions editable through Dreaweaver so our site designers can still
modify them. I'm not talking about the "Optional region" here, just
a "regular" editable region.
Thank you,
Stéphane Brault

there's no option to restrict access to contribute users only
when using Dreamweaver templates.. but a possible dirty workaround
would be to place those editable regions inside dynamic code (ASP,
PHP, JSP, etc..) as Contribute won't be able to interpret them..
they won't be visible in Contribute

Editable template regions

I made a div with a editable region and the design view shows
it to be editable but I am not allowed to make padding changes with
the css for that div. The error msg shows "Making this change would
require changing code that is locked by a template or a translator.
The change will be discarded." What am I missing???? The region is
editable but I can't edit??????????
I attached the code and it is specifically the div
"left_column"
thanks in advance for your time.

It is your CSS styles that are in a NONeditable region of the
head, so
they can not be edited on the Child page. Either move the
styles to an
external stylesheet (best), or move them to the "Head"
editable region
on the page, or manually create new styles in that editable
region that
will over-ride the current ones.

CS6 - add non-editable region inside editable template region?

I have the following in a template:
    <div class="main-content">

      <div class="content p7ehc-1"> 
        <h1 class="page-topper">Enter topic here</h1>
        <p>Enter content here</p>
      </div>
    
   </div>
Right now everything in main-content is editable. I'd like to add "Page last revised - " at the bottom of the page which would be non-editable. An editable date would follow.
I already have a number of pages with content so any solution should not destroy the content of those pages. (If needed I'd be willing to manually add "Page last revised -" to each of those pages. However, I'd want this to be automatically added for any new pages that were based on the template.)
I have tried putting "Page last revised -" in another div and making it non-editable but this creates other layout problems. I currently don't want to explore this option further.
Thanks for any suggestions.

You could always drop a server-side include or even a Dreamweaver Library item into that editable region (the latter method is a poor second choice, though). Is that a reasonable solution?
Failing that, manually adding Ben's code both to the existing child pages and the current template will definitely place that code into newly created child pages. The beauty of his suggestion is that it's self maintaining, meaning that the code will always show the proper date on each page.

Editable/Uneditable Region (Template)

Hi,
I am using dreamweaver to design my personal website. I need some help please.
I created a template and designed some pages based on it. I have two editable regions in the template. I want to change one of them to uneditable.
Could you please tell me how to do it?
Thank you for your help.

Editing uneditable regions on template using CS4

I am updating an existing website using CS4.(I'm new at this) I went into the template made changes & saved it. None of the changes show up on the web pages. The update dialog box did not show up when I saved the changes. When I went into the Asset file under templates there were none showing up. But the template file is under the local files. Obviously I'm missing something. Please help.

I'll save the original poster some trouble.
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?

Making Meta Properties editable / templates

When I create the template - then apply it to my pages - it
wiped out all the meta tags. I tried to create editable attributes
for my meta tags, but can't get it to work... I read the
instructions, but it still is not working.
After I open the page that I applied the template to and try
to change the keywords, I get the error: that I am editing text
outside the editable regions, and the next time I apply changes
they will be lost...code attached.
Is there a link to instructions that are clearly written, the
documentation was clear, but after following step by step
instructions, I am not getting results.

I don't normally use templates but decided yesterday on one
project and came up with the same hassle, here is what I did - Move
the  to include meta

<title>board bags, boardbags, surfboard
bags</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="board bags, boardbags,
surfboard bags" />
<meta name="description" content="Board Bags for
Australian Surfers" />
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1" />

Template not updating meta tag info.

I use DW MX on PC w/XP Home OS -- in the event that this info
makes any difference.
I updated meta tag info in a template then applied it to all
the child pages. The changes were not propogated. I've looked over
the info at "Template child pages are not updated when parent
template is changed," from
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=dd83ba8b
I haven't done any of the boo-boos on the list other than to
recreate the cache file (#6) -- to no avail I might add...
Any suggestions?

How do I Place Two Or More Template Regions Side by Side?

How do I change the page size of a template or a template region so that I can place two templates side by side with the content in between?
Maybe I need to know how to place two or more template regions side by side?
Can you insert a template into a table?
How do you insert a template within the main template along side a region within the main template?
Sorry to ask so many questions but each approach would sole the sampe problem. (Putting two or more regions, side by side.)
Thank you in advance for any help that you can offer me.

How do I change the page size of a template or a template region so that I can place two templates side by side with the content in between?
Template regions are not layout regions. They do not add any structure to your page, and only provide a way to add content to whatever HTML structure contains the template region. So - you need to make your Template's HTML provide the space.
For example, you could have a three column, one row table with an editable region in the left/right cell. The exact answer, though, will depend on your page's layout and where you want the editable regions to be placed within that layout.
In addition, you say "place two templates side by side" as if the regions were the templates. That's not correct. There is a template file, which contains editable regions. Thus, you could not place two templates side by side.
Can you insert a template into a table?
See the answer above. You can place an editable region inside a table.
Sorry to ask so many questions but each approach would sole the sampe problem. (Putting two or more regions, side by side.)
I bellieve you are very confused about what templates are and how to use them, and so I strongly suggest you read DW's F1 Help about templates before going further with this project.

So, it works fune ... in here. In our working environment it is not working. It doesn't give any errors. It just doing NOTHING when clicking on the box. I believe it is this line that doesn't work onclick="htmldb_ToggleWithImage(this,'left_region')".
So the Q is : what is "htmldb_ToggleWithImage", and where to look for it. Somewhere on the forum i found that this is a java script. So, does it live in UNIX (operating system)? How to find it? And what can be wrong with it?....

How to fire "table change" once click other regions outside the table erea?

I have a JTable created with DefaultTableModel. Usually the edit behavior of table cell is like this:
1) Select one cell, it is highlighted in blue.
2) Double click the cell, it's made editable with white background.
3) Two scenarios
(a) Once finish edit, press "Enter", the cell background turns from white to blue. At the same time, the table change is "fired" .
(b) Once finish edit, click another cell, the originall cell turns white, and the new-clicked cell is highlighted in blue. At the same time, the table change is "fired".
4) While editing one cell, and click somewhere OUTSIDE the table area. In this case, the table change is NOT fired.
[This cause a confusion, user sees the changed text in table cell, but actually it is not stored and will not be stored in the table.]
So what I want to implement is: once click the region outside the table, the text in that editabe cell (where you are just editing) is stored and fired.
Can you help me? Thanks in advance!

sabre150 & other experts,
[see background in my first message]
User is still not completely satisfied with the current behavior, though "table changed" can be fired when clicking other controls(eg. buttons or checkboxes).
If I click a panel region(instead of a particular control), the "table changed" can not be fired. However, it is expected.
I guess the reason is:
a panel doesn't has a focus. so when clicking panel, the focus is not "lost" to the table cell.
Any hints?

Editing audio regions

I have two questions regarding editing audio regions that I had difficulty with. After referring to the quick start manual and the manual on the help menu, I was unsure how to proceed.
1) Sometimes when I want to divide/cut an audio region so that I can copy part of it to another part of the track, I don't get it exactly at a zero crossing. I zoom in ALL the way possible and whenever I try to drag the corners to a zero crossing, I always jumps and cuts off another wave form. I'm having a lot of trouble getting the regions in the zero crossing. I tried double clicking on the region, it opened a type of audio editor. In the edit menu (I think), I checked the "zero crossing". When I zoomed in there and tried to adjust the selection or start, again it would not let me. Can someone please point me in the right direction.
2) When I am moving regions on one track and there is a little bit of overlap, one region always cuts off the other one. I am having trouble figuring how to make logic understand which region I want "on top" and also wondering if there is anyway I can have the audio from both regions play simultaneously while they overlap on the same track.
Thanks very much,
~Nico

okay, to answer Q:2 first...if there are two patches of audio overlapping, one will cut to the other as the scroll point reaches and passes them. if you want both to play simultaneously, put one patch of audio under the other, on another track.this is the quick and easy solution to that problem
for Q1, well there are a few approaches for editing audio. an easy way is to copy/paste the audio to the area on the arrange page you want it to be. double click it to open the audio edit window, then use the little in/out points at the left and right bottom corners respectively (they look like little triangles). move these points to the start/end point of the section of audio you want. you can make these points very precise. at this point you may want to go to the FILE drop down menu and 'save the selection as....', name it and add to audio window. then it will be named here to be re-used/edited without affecting the original audio. if you want to cut within a waveform, you can apply little fade in/outs to stop any clicking. remember any edits you make to your original pieces of audio are usually permanent, so always worth copying and renaming patches you are editing.
hope this helps, as i say, there are so many ways to edit audio, so i'm sure another user will give you some different advice. the more you experiment, the more you'll find little ways to do things.
as long as you have copies of the audio you are editing, just play around with it, untill you discover things...thats the best way.
good luck

In content editing repeating regions not working Safari 6.05 and Google Chrome v30.0.1599.66 mac? No

In content editing repeating regions not working Safari 6.05 and Google Chrome v30.0.1599.66 mac?
Marquees not showing, works perfectly fine on PC IE 9.
Can edit text put cannot duplicate regions?
Can anyone advise? Not good if the client worjs on Mac.

Marquees the HTML tag? It's the most hated HTML tag out there, most browsers removed it because it was such a pain to see in 1996 scrolling images and scrolling everything

Remove template region

I have established a small hierarchy of templates for a
DreamWeaver CS3 site. At the first level, one template region (1)
contains a table with 9 cells each containing a rollover image.
New template pages (x 6) are generated from this template
page. The images in (1) above are changed on each of these, so that
they remain uneditable in all resulting pages. But when I press the
Template region tab, Modify > Templates > (Remove template
markup) is greyed out.
This is what the help site says I should do. What have I done
wrong, and is there another way to solve the problem?

Do not use nested templates.
Your single template will have editable regions placed so
that on pages that
require section-specific navigation you can add a navigation
element
accordingly.
For example -
1. Make a Library item that contains JUST your navigation for
a specific
section, or
2. Make a server-side include that contains the same
On a child page, you have an editable region available for
the
section-specific navigation because of the way you have built
the template.
So, you can place either item #1 or item #2 as needed (use
DW's F1 help to
read about both - I prefer the latter).

How do I add image upload to web app edit template?

How do I add image upload to web app edit template. When creating fields I am selecting image from the field type. But the only way to upload and image is when I create the web app item within the admin. The option to upload an image is not available when the user submit web form opens.
Wont send any of these questions through this email anymore but really needed assistance.
Thanks,
Gordon

On the Details tab of the Web App setup, under Web App Item Options; have you ticked "Allow File Upload" and specified a Default Upload Folder?
