Page backgrounds with templates

I just upgraded to DW8, but I was having the same problem in
DWMX. I have a number of template based pages and now I would like
to make the page background color editable. I also have a css-based
menu from Project 7 which begins with an On Load command in the
<body> tag. In MX, when I tried to make the bg tag editable,
the menu went wonky and the page didn't displa right
Now I've trying with DW8. Page backgrounds are set as a style
and there isn't any bg command in the body. Can someone PLEASE help
me. I've fooled around with this for days, asked on several other
forums. I've looked through knowledge bases and there's lots about
changing the stuff in tables, etc., and modiying attributes, but
the tags are there to do. I can't get the bg tag in the body to
make it editable. When I try, it comes up as a style.
HELP!!!!!!

Changing page width with template

I'm trying to create a wedding website in iWeb using one of the templates. I don't like the narrow "Apple" look so I tried to adjust it to 1000px. I found the Page inspector/Layout box and changed the page width easily enough but it looked terrible because there didn't seem to be a way to alter the background images in the template.
After a lot of poking around online, I found instructions for duplicating and then altering an iWeb template. I went into it and changed all the images to 1000p. I thought that had solved the problem since it looks great in iWeb. But when I published it, it looks terrible. It seems like it's finding the old 700px images somewhere. Check it out: http://web.me.com/kamoore63/Wedding_Website/Home.html
Does anyone have any ideas what files or things I might have to change to have this appear correctly?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Publish the site to a folder on the desktop and check the files in there to see if the older narrow files are there. If so you probably will have to do a Publish Entire Site to totally replace all of the files on the server.
What you're experiencing is why many recommend starting with either the white or black theme and crating your own layout. Editing the theme itself can be hit or miss and the theme may not stay changed thru an subsequent update of the application.

The old Flash SWF files that don't update in pages created with templates problem

I hate to even ask this question again because I know it's
been posted many times. I've read all the answers I could find but
I'm afraid I still need help. I'm using Dreamweaver CS3 on a Mac.
I've gone in preferences and unchecked "insert using browser-safe
scripts" and "Convert tags" and I've tried to make my paths to the
SWF files relative to the site root but I just can't get it to
work.
There are about three articles on what the Site Root path can
be used for and why it's good or bad. I've read all those and I
guess I'm dense because I just can't figure it out. I select site
root from the "relative to" drop down menu and it makes no
difference whatsoever. I look at the code and it seems OK. This is
what it looks like:
<param name="movie"
value="/public/Images/Regional_Strength/Americas/Americas map.swf"
/>
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed
src="/public/Images/Regional_Strength/Americas/Americas map.swf"
quality="high" pluginspage=
There are no ... before the directories and that's what it's
supposed to look like. The files still don't show. Part of me has
to wonder how the heck the html file would know which /image
directory the swf file is in because this particular site is one of
many self-contained site directories that sit in my public folder,
each site has it's own image directory. I thought maybe I'm
supposed to put the SWF files in the "image" directory right in the
first level of the public directory. I moved the files in there
changed the code to:
<param name="movie" value="/public/Images/Americas
map.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<embed src="/public/Images/Americas map.swf"
quality="high" pluginspage=
It doesn't work. Like I said, after reading the three or so
articles about the site root on the Adobe Help pages, I still don't
understand. I'd appreciate someone clarifying this for me.
Thanks

> <param name="movie" value="/public/Images/Americas
map.swf" />
As a random educated guess, Is your local site folder defined
to the correct
folder? If it isn't, then dw can't make correct site root
relative paths.
Jumping to this from seeing the /public/ folder in the above
path.
Define the local site folder to the folder that directly
contains the site's
homepage index file.
Use the "host directory" line in the remote site info to
correct for any
required subfolder in the ftp setup. If public files need to
be placed in a
subfolder on the remote named public or public_html or htdocs
or www or
similar, put that folder name into the "host directory" line.
Also- to avoid problems adopt a file and folder naming
convention that
doesn't cause you to tear your hair out.
Americas map.swf
There is NO such thing as a blank space in a url. So don't
use blank spaces
in file or folder names.
A conservative naming convention would be to use only
a-->z and 0-->9 and
the _underscore. No blank spaces, no punctuation, no mixed
case.
Right-click on the file or folder in the dw Files Panel and
pick rename.

I'm seeing a hot pink background (which is my browser default
- so that I do
remember to declare a background color). You need to add:
body { background-color: white;} to your stylesheet, or into
the imbedded
styles on your page.
In Firefox, the very top black section, #headertop is hidden
behind the
header image.

I can see the header image stretching right across the page..
so not sure
what color is missing there.

Trying to make an image fill from other template my page background

I want to make the green box in the below picture the page background (and not manually by dragging the box as big as the window). Is that possible? Can I somehow get the image file for it?
http://yfrog.com/40picture1bxp

One reason would be if you had begun with a Page Layout template rather than a Word Processing template. The option isn't available in Page Layout because of the lack of a Text Layer in that mode.

HELP with Problem creating a page from a template Suggestions PLS.

Nadia was kind enough to give me step by step in creating a template the right way.
Problem is why won't it work?
1) I create a page exactily like I want the templete to look.
2) I save the child page as a template.
3) I go to FILE>NEW>Page from template, look at the template on the insert on the right and it is just as I would expect it to be. The update is checked on change. I say ok and what appears on screen is I have lost all my formatting. When I look at the code, creating a page from the template causes the process to change the location of (for instance) the background image gif file from ...images/background.gif to the full location name starting the string at the C:/ all the way to ...background.gif. Therefore, the created page from the template loses all of its formatting.
How do I fix this problem????

Okay, here I go again with this problem step by step.
1) Created a basic page that has a header, body and footer: www.goodimage.com and saved it as maintemp.html .
2) I saved maintemp.html in the normal place where all the html are stored because as I was creating the template it told me I needed to save the page I was working on. So I decided to store it as an html until as it was layed out. Then I went to FILE/SAVE AS TEMPLATE storing it as maintemp.dwt.
3) Then I created an edItable area called BODY.
4) Then I did a FILE/SAVE AS TEMPLATE or tried to. As part of this process it wants to know if I want to UPDATE LINKS. If I do then the links will reference the template folder (but it is the DW default - hmmm what do I do) When in doubt take the default. So I did.
5) So now I have a nice looking template called maintemp.dwt with one editablel region. So I feel pretty good until I suspect the next problem I have been fighting all along will appear. I select FILE/NEW PAGE FROM TEMPLATE and I see goodimage site, and my template called maintemp and a nice picture of it on the right screen part. Also update page when template changes is checked. Then I select to do the action.
6) Upcomes an unformatted screen caused by the links not being correct. I save the page as index.html to see if it will correct itself. I does not correct itself. So the index.html page is not formatted even after I closed down DW to see if that would help. It didn't. So I could go in and manually update the page but what a mess that would be.
7) So I will go back to create a page from the maintemp.html with the UPDATE LINKS turned off. Using maintemp.html to create a template just like in step 2). When UPDATE LINKS is not selected then the template falls apart and is unusable.
I HAVE WASTE ABOUT THREE DAYS ON THIS ONE PROBLEM AND I HAVE BUT A FEW MORE HOURS TO GET IT DONE. ONCE THIS WORKS IT WILL GO FAST. I AM TIRED OF BEING TIRED BUT MAYBE THAT IS CAUSING MY PROBLEM. ANYWAY, PLEASE HELP AS I AM AT A LOSE.

Solved: Adding CommandButtons to a page with templates VM

Hi,
I am trying to add a button on a page generated with JHeadStart. The first I did was drag and drop it from the "Data Control Palete" but the button was lost when the pages was regenerated. So I maked a VM template to generate the page with that button, the problem that when the page is generate the button is on the page, but there is no reference on the XXXXPageDef.xml file, so the button is not working.
How can I create a template to generate the button on page and on the XXXXPageDex.xml?
Thanks
Tony

Tony,
Drag and drop the button again, this will re-add the action binding in the page definition. Then, before generating again, uncheck the group-level checkbox "Clear Page Definition Before Generating", this will preserve your manually added action binding in the page definition.

Ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

ibooks author, how do I get the standard book pages background into my document. I have published one book so far which does not display with a book pages background or options for font size.

No on the book title, no problem there.
The issue is: my book pages appear as on white paper, no background that resembles a open book and also no option to change fonts. The book was created in iBooks author, there was a problem going with the "Publish" menu route so I was instructed my Apple to "export" the file and submit that. I think that's the problem after reading that iBooks author is a hybrid epub file.
Thanks for getting back to me.

A page from a template doesn't inherit a background image.

I created a template and gave it a background image, tested in the browser, and it worked fine. Then I made a page from that template and it simply didn't show the background image, even though all the other components showed up properly. Any ideas as to what the problem may be?

Some things to check:
1) Did you define a local site folder in DW before starting your project?
2) When you made a page from the Template, did you use File > New > Page from Template?
3) Is your background image saved for the web as RBG and not CMYK?
4) In your CSS code, what is the path to your background image?

How to change background image for each individual page in a template?

I've been working for hours to try to figure out how to change the background image for each individual page in a template. I have tried making a div in the body and adding a CSS and setting a background picture. Unfortunately even after I made it editable all templated webpages changed. I tried looking at different forum results which didn't really help me out. http://forums.adobe.com/message/2670005#2670005#2670005. I've also tried embeding a CSS style on the webpage instead of the external CSS which again didn't work. I'm not sure where to go from here. Is there a good video that explains this clearly. Please help. Thanks.

Adjust inline styles to suit your needs.

Why do I get FTP error messages uploading pages made with DW templates?

In selecting FTP access to my host, I've encountered FTP error messages on a Web site uploads that I have used templates to build pages while uploading another Web site not made with templates I have no problem uploading elements using FTP access. Can anyone help me figure out why. I'm on a MacBook Pro using DW CS4 with OS Mavericks. Thanks for your help.

Templates shouldn't make any difference what-so-ever, the output file is still just html whether you use templates or not.
Are both sites with the same hosting company? On the exact same server?
It's much more likely that you have some setting goofed than anything to do with the actual pages.
Check things like Use Passive FTP and Use FTP Performance Optimization (toggle the check boxes) under the More Options section of the Basic tab in your Site Settings.
Also verify all of your site credentials are correct. A missing or incomplete server Root Directory would be a good reason uploading fails.

Pages with Templates not updating?

I made a template page (saved in templates folder), then did a SAVE AS to create my other pages.
When I tried to update a template (repeating region), it does not seem to update the other pages (files updated = 0)
The site is managed as well.
HELP!!! It's driving me nuts!

Oh wait, I read your initial post more closely. You did not create your pages correctly. You do not use SAVE AS from your template file to create the other pages.
What you do is create your template and 'Save as Template'
Then to actually build your pages, File => New => Page from Template (see image)

Pages created by Template view and preview Ok - Except when linked on page

I created a template in DW. The template contains a background image and an editable region. I made some pages using the template / updated my pages and saved them as html. I have worked with templates before.
Here is the problem. I can open, view the html files in DW that I applied the template to, they look normal. I can preview the files in IE.
If I click a link in lets say the index file, to another lets cay contact.html file that I applied the template to, it only loads the editable region and I don't see the template applied. If I pull up the file, say contact.html in DW the template is applied and if I preview it the page displays. No background image or dropdown includes are on the page and the template is not applied for some reeason in preview when linking from a hotspot. The path is correct.
I tried this several times and still no luck. I even uplopaded to the web and the same thing is happening.
Please advise as to what I should look at? I can direct you to an example if need be. -

Thanks,
Greg

Here is the code of an html file in which the region is editable. The template has been applied to this page and is one of the pages that is having a problem.
I will need to look further into your last response, although it makes perfect sense to a webmaster like yourself, it only makes partial sense to me but I do undertand the point. I will look into that furher, thank you for your response.
When looking at the code, my Background image was repeating and I do not want it to. I edited some of the code and although, it does not look clean, it does work. Maybe this is part of the problem.
In this example, I did get the background to work, not sure how, but my includes and a image over the background with the hotspots are not wodking.
