New to templates in Dreamweaver

Hi
I've been asked by a client to add some simple CMS using
templates and contribute to a site I've built for them.
Albion
Drilling Group web site and the process of creating the
templates seem simple enough and are working to a point. Except for
portions of some of the template mark-up tags being visible in my
pages. This applies whether I've created the page in Dreamweaver or
Contribute, so I'm thinking it could be a template issue!
From what I can see it affects the pages where I've used a
'repeating region'
The page is built in xhtm transitional - and has one
javascript on the page.
Any help on this would be appreciated
Cheers
John

Where are you seeing the template markup?

Viewing new template in dreamweaver cs3 reverst to front page ??

When i save a new template in Dreamweaver CS3 and then try to preview in IExploer it asks me "do you wnat to open or save this file? when i select either it reverst to my old MS Front Page editor

From their website:
" Adobe Flash (version 8 or higher) is required to edit the
FLA file.
- Use the source codes at your own risk after downloading and
flashmo.com is
not responsible for any bugs or errors caused by
ActionScripts."
Do you own Flash? Are you familliar with action scripts? If
not, then you
probably want to start with a plain html template and learn
how to code html
and CSS. Flash sites look nice but they are not friendly for
Search Engines
or users who don't have flash player installed on their
system.

CSS Template in Dreamweaver, cannot make flash(swf) show ???

Hi all,
I'm quite new at using dreamweaver, have been using GoLive
some before and I have got a time consuming problem:
To try to get a hang of CSS page designs I've used the Page
Design (CSS) Halo Right nav that comes with DW8.
I've learnt pretty much how it works BUT, I cannot make a
flash file visible when inserted to the page design ????
It does not show if I insert it to an existing div tag or if
I insert it in a new layer. What am I doing wrong ?
(same goes for images)
Need help quickly.
Thanks!

This is one of the several weird problems with the HALO
layout.

New From Template Changes Relative Links to Local Root?

Thank you for taking the time to read and understand my plight with Dreamweaver CS3 for Mac. I apologize for the lengthy question, but in the effort to provide detail I shall go. First the background:
I'm updating, editing, and appending an existing site that was previously created with Dreamweaver.
I'm new to Dreamweaver but have a pretty good understanding of things
I created a new site on the local drive on my MacBook Pro and then downloaded the entire site via FTP (live site: domain.com)
I then replicated the site and exact file structure using FTP to a staging server (staging.domain.com)
There are three existing .dwt templates. I've successfully updated the template file and auto updated all other pages that were based on this template.
But my problem comes from creating new pages FROM the template. It appears that while the .dwt template file shows relative links (../xxxx) in the code, when create a new file from the template the url of these links is replaced by the path to the file on my local drive... I want non of this (.../xxxx) is fine.
What is happening is that a javascript drop down menu is disappearing when I create new from template. I am assuming it's because of the path changes.
This is the ORIGINAL (good) code from the .dwt:

<tr>
     <td height="31">
          <table width="718" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
               <tr>
                    <td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(../images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
But when I create a NEW page from the above template the code is changed to the local path:

<tr>
     <td height="31">
          <table width="718" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
               <tr>
                    <td width="24"><img src="file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/site/site staging master/images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/site/site staging master/images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/site/site staging master/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
To be sure all links in the template file are changed too.
This is the .dwt file itself
This is a random page created from the above template.
And this page was created by simply altering the .dwt template file linked above and then SAVING AS. You can see the relative links remained and the navigation bar looks and operates as normal.
To provide easier visual reference I offer the following:
This is the .dwt file when opened in dreamweaver:
Note the black area where the javascript drop down menu is in the top navigation when the page is correct:
But when I create a NEW page from template this is what I get in the top navigation bar:
And then this is what it looks like when posted:
Ultimately what I'm trying to do is:
1) work on site files on my local drive
2) sync the local drive with staging.domain.com so my client can proof and approve
3) sync to the actual live site at domain.com
I assume I could simply do this by changing the ftp info and given the site structure and all files are same and ideally all links are relative this should be accomplished easily.
Though perhaps my problem stems from the fact my local site is buried several layers deep on my local drive Local Drive/Users/Me/Clients/Client.... etc... but I haven't checked this yet.

Great... Thanks for your patience....
Here are links to all questioned files on the staging server:
This is the .dwt file itself
This is a random page created from the above template that shows the image/navigation incorrect.
And this page was created by simply altering the .dwt template file linked above and then SAVING AS. You can see the relative links remained and the navigation bar looks and operates as normal. (obviously the wrong thing to do.
And this page is one that was created prior to my working on the site and was based on the subpage template and displays correctly.
Now bear with me here as I notice this behavour too.
In the code snipped taken directly from the DW .dwt template (linked above)
<td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(../images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
you'll notice there are two images L-Header-Corner.gif and one that is Header.BG.gif.
The difference here is that the BG gif has a style attributed to it "Background-Image) which is followed by some strange code that says (url)../
Opening that file Background Image and it's a tiny slice of what I think is part of the entire missing gray bar:
In a page that displays correctly the code looks like this:
<td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(../images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
And in a page that is displaying incorrectly the code appears like this:
<td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/koolfog/koolfog website staging/images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
So you can see that the link in this case (with the URL and style) has actually been converted to a site (my hard drive) relative link when saving.
So the pressing question stands: Why doesn't dreamweaver convert that URL link when saving a page created from a template back to the same directory?
Also, it appears that in that .DWT all the links have the leading periods and therefore are document relative... since I didn't set this up, how do you think this happened?

Problems when Creating Pages from Templates in Dreamweaver 8

When creating new pages from templates in Dreamweaver 8(Ver
8.0.2). The full path for images is not created
i.e. in template the code is <img src="main_page_logo.png"
width="814" height="172" longdesc="Main Page Logo" />
In the new file the code should be :-
<img src="../../Templates/main_page_logo.png" width="814"
height="172" longdesc="Main Page Logo" />
but only :-
<img src="main_page_logo.png" width="814" height="172"
longdesc="Main Page Logo" /> is in the code.
but this does work in Version 8.0.
Does anyone know of a setting or fix for this problem

> Does anyone know of a setting or fix for this problem
It was regarded as a bug in previous versions, and was fixed
in the 8.0.2
release. In normal circumstances, ALL links in a template
file must be
relative to the template document, not relative to where you
intend to save
the child pages. Thus, there would be no way to have a link
in your
template document like the first one you show, e.g.,
<img src="whatever.png"....
*unless* the file was actually in the Templates folder (a bad
idea).
In 8.0.2, you can set your PREFERENCES for the Templates
category to NOT
MANAGE relative links. Be aware that this may have unintended
consequences
for you - specifically regarding other relative links in your
site.

Photoshop templates to dreamweaver

Hello...when I drag the Photoshop template into Dreamweaver,
it becomes a jpeg. How can I use a Photoshop template in
Dreamweaver and have the capability to change the text and add text
over the template?? With the background as a jpeg, I cannot type
over it unless I use AP Div, which I don't want to use.
Thank you!

Updating Templates in Dreamweaver with a Contribute managed site?

My company sited up a site for one of our clients using Dreamweaver. We created templates with update sidebar, header and such if needed to. The client uses Contribute to manage the main content sections and create new pages.
I have the site saved locally on my computer. Make the changes to the template which updates the all the pages linked to it but when I upload them it overwrites the content the clients has made.
What is the best way update the templates in Dreamweaver without over-writing the main content parts of the the client had made with Contribute?

Before you make any changes, perform a Get (down arrow icon in the Files menu) operation to download any client-updated files first. That way, your local files will be exact duplicates of what the client has placed on the server. After verifying you have the most recent versions, make your change and upload.

Edit "New Document-template"

Ik work with Dreamweaver a lot (CS3) and I create a lot of
sites. Every site though, has the same folder structure.
Is there a way to edit the "New Document" template for let's
say... default css/javascript includes (link and script tags) and
just a basic html layout (wrapper, header divs, etc...).
I was also wondering if it is possible to automatically
create a standard folder structure when setting up a new site
inside DW? I always have the same structure so it would be great if
I could skip the step to create those manually.

Huh?
When you do FILE | New > Basic HTML, you want the page
that opens to contain
all of your standard stuff? Sure - you can do that. What is
your OS?

I don't know any way to do that.

Uploading css template to dreamweaver

I need to upload some css templates to dreamweaver but can't
figure out how to do it yet.

Huh? Upload CSS templates to DW? You mean you need to add a
CSS-based
template page to your DW site? Is it a *.dwt page? If so just
copy it into
the Templates folder at the root level of the site.

Print Quote the report is in PDF but need to be new RTF template

We have 11.5.10 apps, the Quote screen is an OAF screen.
When clicking Print Quote the report is in PDF, They want to include a new RTF template for printing instead of PDF.
The new RTF template is created. But what I do not know is how the quote screen will take the new template. I can use XMLP to upload the RTF template but that may not be sufficient to make it appear in the Quote screen.
I am looking at the profile ASO:Default Layout Template. Am I headed the right way?

Problem while creating a new project template

I am trying to create a new project template under one operating unit newly created.
I am using P A Super User responsibility for that operating unit.
In profile setting the above responsibility has been assigned the new operating unit under Mo operating unit profile.
Now when I go to Setup>>Projects>>Project Templates and click on New, the form to create new Project template opens up but in the field where I have to select the operating unit, it shows no values in the LOV.
Can anyone please help me to know what setting do I have to perform so that I can select the operating unit in this new Template creation Form.
Regards
Hawker Hunter

Dear Mr. Govind,
we have followed all the Project Implementation Setup for the new operating unit except for the Implementation options which we have to fill up for each operating unit.
In the implementation Options form in the first tab 'System' there are many fields to be filled up.
For 'Summarization period Type' we choose 'G L Period' and based on this the fields 'Calendar Name' and 'P A Period Type' automatically gets populated.
But in our case the 'P A Period Type' is not getting populated.
Can you let me know where we can link the 'P A Period Type' to the chosen 'Calendar name'?
Also there is a check box - 'Maintain common PA and GL Periods'. If we tick this check box, a message says: 'The Period Type and Calendar of the PA Period does not match the Period type and Calendar of the corresponding GL Period.'
Can you please let me know where to create the PA Period based on the corresponding GL periods?
Regards

An error occured while generating a new report template

I have installed the Crystal Reports 2008 V2 and also the support pack. Installed the SAP Integration Kit XI 3.1 and the latest service pack 2.7. When I try to use the SAP Tool bar from Crystal Report , I can connect/see the queries but when I select any query to create a report I am getting an error message
"An error occured while generating a new report template". Any advise ? How do I turn on the trace in the client ?
Thanks,

Hi,
Did you update your Fix Pack...
Here is solution for Client...
To turn tracing on for client applications, you can use the following steps:
1. Click Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Advanced > Environment Variables button.
2. Under the User Variables, add the following variable and value:
For Enterprise XI:
Variable Name: BOE_LOGGER_ENVIRONMENT
Variable Value: -trace -loggingPath c:\logs
For Crystal Analysis, Crystal Enterprise, and Crystal Reports version 10 and earlier:
Variable Name: CRYSTAL_LOGGER_ENVIRONMENT
Variable Value: -trace -loggingPath c:\logging
