Non-Editable Regions being edited

I have created a whole site in dreamweaver with editable
regions set up as i usually do. In contribute 3 i can edit the site
no problem, however if it is edited in version 4, my non-editable
regions have some mm_lock code in part of the javascript. This then
completely cocks up the layout and i have to go in via FTP to edit
the site manually.
Is there some setting in version 4 i am missing? I would post
this to support but i am not upgrading until i can find a solution
to this problem.

Updating the .dwt template file is the easiest way.
If you want to get rid of the template all together, you can open the child page and choose Modify > Templates > Detach From Template to edit anything you want.

Can't Delete Non-Editable Region in Template?

Well, I can in existing templates but if I create a new one from an existing page using "Save as Template", when I try to delete a non-editable region in the template, DW won't let me. I don't know why. Aaaargh!
It's my understanding I should be able to edit anything in a template. I've tried existing DW and restarting. I've tried using other pages as a basis for the template. Every template I create won't let me delete non-editable regions. I'm highlighting the non-editable region and pressing the delete key. I can't delete.

Not sure DW is doing what you describe...
But I am certain you could remove the region in code view.
Even if you are a WYSIWYG-er and not a big code-head, it should be pretty easy to remove the region markers and everything between them...
Trust me, it is. I'm wondering if the problem is associated with the fact that the source page that I saved as a template was based on a template? I just noticed that this new template refers to another template. I'm thinking that means the other template is controlling what I'm trying to do in the current template.
That's it. I just tried saving a template under a different name (still retaining the correct template file extension) but did not do the save as template. Now I can completely edit that template. So you if you save a page that is controled by a template, as a template, that new template is controlled by the previous template.
I've got a headache now.

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.

Editing non-editable regions as the webmaster

I'm just learning to use Contribute, and I want to enable my client to edit some regions and not others (obviously). But I want to be able to edit the non-editable regions myself, in Dreamweaver. For example, I don't want them to be able to mess with the nav bar, but I do want to be able to specify which nav item is active when creating a new page. When I open a page based on a template and try to change those regions, it won't let me. Is there any way to make a region something I can edit, but my client can't? Thank you!

In Contribute you can add/edit the contents inside the editable regions only. You can edit the contents of the non-editable region of the template using Dreamweaver.

Make non-editable sections of webpage?

I'm designing a site using contribute. I'm wondering if I can
take a webpage that is already completed and make certain sections
of it uneditable.... such as the main links, or certain divs... Is
there a way to do this? Or can this only be accomplished with
templates?
Thanks so much for all and any help!

This is possible to create by handcoding, but you have to
create editable regions and not non-editable regions.
Contribute understands the editable region code, also when
it's not a dreamweaver template (using dreamweaver templates of
course has a lot of other advantages).
The code you need looks like this:
content
Place it like this in your page and the lorem ipsum p's are
non editable, the sentence 'This content is editable...' is
editable. The head section and title are also editable (convenient
to adjust meta-tags through contribute):

How to make the message choice as non-editable thru personalization

Hi,
I have one requirement to make the messageChoice field as non-editable, how to do this thru personalization for particular page.
because the same region available in some other pages also, so i need to do only for that page.
How to do?
Thanks in advance,
SAN

Hi Shanthi,
If you want to make some rows editable and some as read-only, then the best thing to do is use an iterator. It is basically a class that implements interface IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR and allows you to change properties of each cell of your table. You can do the following:
1. Create an iterator class that implements this interface.
2. Code method RENDER_CELL_START( ) to set all elements of a given row as read-only or editable as required.
3. Leave other two methods empty but do activate them.
4. Declare a public reference in your view implementation class of same type as this iterator class.
5. Pass this iterator class to 'iterator' attribute of your <chtmlb:configTable> in view htm.
In the iterator class, you also need to access your table node to decide which rows to make editable and which row to make readonly. To do this, you can declare an attribute in this class of type CL_BSP_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_TV and instantiate it from the CONSTRUCTOR. And you can instantiate this iterator class from DO_VIEW_INIT_ON_ACTIVATION( ) of your view controller.

Shiromani

Save PDF form into non editable PDF through button (SaveAs) using java script

I am creating PDF form using LiveCycle 8.0.
1) Using SaveAs the form in PDF (non editable) by using button and javascript
( app.execMenuItem("SaveAs");
myScript.LoclAllFields("form1");) this code is not working.
2) show / hide the field by choosing the drop down List.
Like, In drop down list their is tree option name a, b, c. when select "A" hide the field_A and select "B". then show the field_A.

Thanks for that script, it is a great way of securing it from being edited, but reader still won't allow the form to be saved, only as a copy without the inputted text. The idea of what I'm trying to achieve is a form which the staff here fill out and then send to our customers with non editable fields, there is the option to print to pdf but that saves the file as an 'image', this stops people from highlighting text which we don't want, they have to be accessible afterwards to copy and paste the text at a later date.
I hope someone can help with what should be such a simple action.

How do I save a non editable version of a form

I want to make a form non-editable after I have filled in the fields. How do I do this?

With Reader your options are very limited. Basically the only thing you can do is to digitally sign the document, which can lock the fields and prevent them from being edited while the signature is still valid.

Adding a non-editable area?

I'm certain that I once saw an example showing how a website
designer could add some code to a page to prevent Contribute users
from editing an area. I've looked in documentation for both
Dreamweaver and Conribute, but I can see no mention of it. I
actually use GoLive to build sites. Any help would be
appreciated.

You need to use Dreamweaver and generate a Dreamweaver
template file with editable and non-editable regions. I'm not aware
if GoLive has this feature and if its supported. (I think it
doesn't)

Selecting in Non-Editable JTextField in JDK 1.4

Hi.
Posting as new thread - maybe somebody can help.
I want a formatted non-editable (!) display component (for incoming Instant Messages, if anyone cares), which allows selecting with the mouse (including selection highlighting) and then copying FROM it into another application or window. Currently (starting from JDK 1.4), this does not appear to be possible with a JTextArea. It works absolutely fine in all 1.3 JDKs, so It appears it was broken starting with JDK 1.4.
Imagine not being able to copy FROM your Web browser (which is non-editable) INTO another application. That's what the situation is currently like.
So - maybe I'm missing the obvious (well, a setSelectable(true) method would probably be TOO obvious), but can anyone help me as to how I can achieve the desired effect.
From how I understood the workarounds in another thread, they would mean actually making the TextPane editable, but preventing all edits. Oh, and manually making its appearance resemble a non-editable Pane, so that the GUI doesn't appear inconsistent. SURELY this cannot be reasonable.
Thanks,
Daniel.

Hi!
I managed to boil the problem down to a simple test case (and, in doing so, actually found a fix for our problem). It seems that JTextPane does not allow selection if the method isFocusTraversable (which, by the way, is deprecated in JDK 1.4) is overridden:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class test
extends JDialog
     public test()
          super((JFrame)null, "JTextPane Test");
          getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          JTextPane pane = new JTextPane()
// public boolean isFocusTraversable()
// return false;
          String s1 = "01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789";
          String s2 = "";
          for (int i=0;i<50;i++)
          s2 = s2+s1+"\n";
          pane.setText (s2);
          pane.setEditable(false);
          getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(pane), BorderLayout.CENTER);
          pack();
     public static void main(String argv[])
          (new test()).show();
If you remove the comment lines around the inner class method, selection stops working. If you leave the comments in, selection and copy/paste do indeed work.
Now why, one wonders, does a method which is deprecated in JDK 1.4 actually cause a PROBLEM in JDK 1.4 that wasn't there before?

How to set one of the elements in contributable mode to non editable in oracle site studio

Hi,
I am using oracle site studio and webcenter content.In contributable mode for a cdf I have a static element and 4 columns in that(4 elements). I want to enter data in all 4 columns and after that I want to make one of the column as non editable. Is it possible? If yes, kindly let know how this can be achieved.
Thanks in advance

If you don't need to actually display the non-editable region in the editor, then you could do the following:
Add all 4 elements to the region definition.
Add your content/data.
Remove the non-editable element from the region definition.
The content/data will still be stored in the CDF and should be retrievable.

How to make a editable section non editable?

When I created my sample site in DW4, I made my template with editable/non editable section. My footer I made editable, now I would like to add a few links on the footer (contact me, about me, etc). I did place an image,background color in the footer.
Should or can I convert the footer of my template to non editable so that I do the above and have the change made to all pages in the form of a libary item, or is there another way to do this efficently?
As always thanks in advance.

When I created my sample site in DW4
Just to avoid confusion, the version of DW you are using is NOT DW4, it's DWCS4. DW4 was released in 1998 and superseded by DMX (6.0).
Should or can I convert the footer of my template to non editable so that I do the above and have the change made to all pages in the form of a libary item, or is there another way to do this efficently?
Placing a Library item in that footer editable region would certainly give you the flexibility you are seeking, but there is a more efficient way to do this. That way would be to use a server-side include. The disadvantage of using a Library item is that after making any changes to it, you must upload every affected page to the server again (since, as with Templates, only local files are affected by these changes). On the other hand, the disadvantage of using server-side includes is that you must change your filenaming system site-wide. If your site is not too large (say <20 pages), and if you are not so experienced with server stuff, then Library items may be your best method.

How to make a row non-editable depending on a db column value

HI,
I've an editable report region and the requirement is to make the row non-editable according to the value in one of the column. Like if the value for that column is null the row should be editable else non-editable. Any option to do this in Oracle APEX.
Regards,
Prasanth

I assume you are using a tabular form. In that case, you would have to run a loop in Javascript to read all the rows in the Form. The example is given below. You can use Firebug in Firefox to identify your field names and replace f02, f03 and f04 with your field names.
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function f_readonly_items(){
for (i=0;i<document.wwv_flow.length;i++)
if (document.wwv_flow.f02.value) != Null
document.wwv_flow.f02[i].readOnly = true;
document.wwv_flow.f03[i].readOnly = true;
document.wwv_flow.f04[i].readOnly = true;
</script>
Hope this helps.

ALV Grid fields from editable to non-editable mode

Hi,
I am displaying my data through ALV Grid. In my grid the non-key fields are in editable mode.
When I edit any of the editable fields and place the cursor on other field the field which I have edited should become disable(non-editable). Again if I want to edit the same field which is now in non-editable mode should again change to editable mode when the cursor is placed on it.
Thanks & Regards,
Adithya M.

Hi Adithya,
I am confused by your statement "place the cursor on other field the field which I have edited should become disable" -- are you stating that this is the requirement or what is currently happening with your program. The way the edit fields should work by default is they are editable at all times unless you tell it otherwise.
If you are saying your requirement is to change the field to disabled once the field is edited (runtime change), first you want to handle the event on data changed then within your method of handling on data changed, you can disable the field from being edited by using cell styles and changing the value to disabled.
If you look at program BCALV_GRID_EDIT,
You will find code where it disables the field for edit using Cell Style -- this will give you an idea how Cell Style controls editable fields and display fields:
        ls_cell-style = cl_gui_alv_grid=>mc_style_enabled.
        ls_cell-maxlen = 4.
        ls_cell-fieldname = 'CARRNAME'.
        append ls_cell to gt_sflight-cell.
This specific code will set the field disabled when the program is first exectued, in your case if you need to do this at run time, after someone edits the field, you need to implement handling the event on data changed, in the same program you will find:
method handle_data_changed.
   perform data_changed using er_data_changed.
endmethod.
It is within this method that you can disable a field for editing.
However, once it is disabled you will not get back into the handle_data_changed method. I'm not sure I understand your statement "Again if I want to edit the same field which is now in non-editable mode should again change to editable mode when the cursor is placed on it." Why would you want the user to be able to edit something, then show it disabled, then let them click on it and edit it again? Why not just leave it in edit mode? Maybe if I understand the requirement better, I can answer this portion of the question.
If this is based on security or changing from edit to display for the entire grid, you can run the same program mentioned above and click on the Change/Display button in the top left to see how it enables and disables the entire grid for editing.
Cheers,
Bonnie
