Renaming (downloaded) Dreamweaver Template

I am new to Dreamweaver. After trying to build my site with it, I decided it would be best to Purchase a Template and modify to my liking.
The template I purchased came with .html files and corresponding folders with the image files & such. Dreamweaver can see everything just fine and displays the pages as one would expect in Design & Live view. Problem is: the file names are way too loooong! I would like to change the name of the .html files & folders to something more manageable.
I've researched and found advice to use the Files Manager in Dreamweaver to change the .html & corresponding folder name.
When I use the Files Manager in Dreamweaver and change the .html, I get asked if, I'd like to Update the Links? I say, Yes. Everything is OK. When I begin using the Files Manager in Dreamweaver and change the name of the folders, Dreamweaver begins to lose file connections and WYSIWYG locations.
Question:
- How can I rename: "This is Your Corporate Site Template.html" & "This is Your Corporate Site Template_files" folder
To something like: "index.html" & "index_files" folder
- Is it possible to save my site in a way that forces all the .html pages to point to the same folder for their images/content?
Naturally, I want to keep the site Look & Functionality.

It is actually very easy to change the Text & Images to the Template... even for me, a beginner. A lot easier than trying to build it from scratch.... which would have been impossible for me, a beginner.
As I stated above, I was able to save each .html page out as NewFilename.html but each .html file also has a corresponding image/assets folder [4 .html pages & 4 images/assets folders] My previous WYSIWYG editor also saved multiple .html files (one for each page), but it saved all the images/assets to 1 folder.
* I am trying to have only one folder for all images/assets for all of my .html pages (home - about - services - contact) inside the root folder as it is a lot less confusing for the build and server side.
- Is there a proper method I can/should use to save all the assets of multiple .html files to one folder [4 .html files & 1 images/assets folder] for one site?

Free Dreamweaver templates related to photography (fullscreen) see 2 example websites?

Hi,
I'm a photographer and I downloaded some Dreamweaver template packs but they are all related to usual corporates, pity enough nothing related to photography.
Can anyone recommend templates or a template pack (freeware) related to photography?
By this I mean almost fullscreen to present the pics as they are supposed to), examples : http://www.haringphotography.com/?splash=1 or http://www.sandernagel.nl/photo/commissioned/portraits_various/374
I have the pictures but not the templates....
I don't know anything about programming, it may be html or other format html5,... (as I heard that other formats will be for the future, just like flash that gets less interesting)
This to relace my more amateurish looking free Wix website
Maybe there are websites with free dreamweaver templates where you can see a picture of the examples ?
Thanks!!!

WordPress is a dynamic site. It needs PHP and a connection to a MySql database to run. Unless you have a local testing server (WAMP or XAMPP) installed on your computer, you won't see local content in your browser.
WordPress consists of 800+ files in 80+ folders. Strangely enough, none of those files are complete pages. They are all just bits of code which the web server assembles and combines with content from the database. In short, there are no real web pages. WordPress is a virtual site; basically a one page site that is created on the fly by the web server. This is a difficult concept for people who are accustomed to working with static HTML pages.
Unless you're a skilled coder, you must not edit the WordPress core files in DW or you will break the site. The only things you can safely edit in Code View are the Theme files:
WP/wp-content/themes/theme_name/page.php
WP/wp-content/themes/theme_name/header.php
WP/wp-content/themes/theme_name/index.php
WP/wp-content/themes/theme_name/footer.php
etc...
http://codex.wordpress.org/Templates
If you're not experienced with code, don't waste time trying to modify your WP theme in DW. Simply install WP on your server and have a go at it...
InMotion and other reputable web hosts have apps to simplify WordPress installation. You can invoke the install wizard by logging in to your server's C-Panel and pressing a button.
Good luck!

Non-Dreamweaver templates for Contribute

Are there any guidelines anywhere for creating the equivalent
of Contribute editable/non-editable templates for sections of HTML
pages which were not created by Dreamweaver; for example,
guidelines on the use of  etc.?

Ian,
The Dreamweaver template system works from the standpoint of
a "deny all, allow some" mentality.
Initially a Dreamweaver template file allows no editing to
any sections. When modifying the template in Dreamweaver or any
other text editor, the addition of the begin/end editable pairs
enables the editing of any content existing within the tag pair.
If you want to create a template for use with Contribute
outside of Dreamweaver just create the file with any editable
sections you desire then change the file extension to .dwt and
place it in the "Templates" directory on your CPS managed
webserver. Any files in the "Templates" directory that end with
".dwt" will be loaded on the next startup of the Contribute client.
By default the Publisher and Writer roles allow access to all
templates in the "Templates" directory via the Contribute client.
Also, make sure that the "whatever" text mentioned by Murray
is unique to each individual editable region.
Please note that the Contribute/Dreamweaver template
interaction is *not* a run-time template system. Dreamweaver
templates are design-time templates. If you have sections of the
template that change later then those changes will need to be
applied on a page-by-page basis to each page using a given
template. This functionality is automatically handled within the
Macromedia workflow by using Dreamweaver to download the entire
site then having it update all pages that are based on a given
template.
The piece of the code that denotes which template is assigned
to a given page is as follows:

with an acompanying closing tag of:

The "InstanceBegin" tag should follow the opening html tag
and the "InstanceEnd" tag should precede the closing html tag.
The important piece of the "InstanceBegin" tag is the value
of the "template" attribute. This needs to be the path to the
specific template file relative to the webroot on the server.
Hope this helps.

Dreamweaver template for a Bed and Breakfast

Hi, Rather than build from scratch I would like to download a template, I've come across lots of sites but would like a recommendation.It's for a B&B business. I'm using dreamweaver creative cloud, have been suing CS4 up until now.
Thanks...

Well I hope your lawyer is a good one if you have been suing CS4...
Fact is, for what you're doing, CS4 should be very good. Essentially, what you need is something fairly simple.
What I would do is simply ask Dreamweaver to produce you with a design that pleases.
First define a site in Dreamweaver. From the menu, that's Site>New Site…
Then find a folder on your computer where you can put the site, or make one. This is going to hold all of your website's stuff, the HTML files, your images, your style sheet and any JavaScript you need. Define your images folder (create one).
Then make a blank HTML Page, that's File>New choose Blank Page and HTML and then pick the kind of page you want out of the layouts that come with Dreamweaver. I recommend a 2 column, fixed, left sidebar, header and footer.
The result will be two files, one will be your style sheet, the other will be your web page (HTML).

No sound in Dreamweaver template

Hi everyone, I'm brand new to Dreamweaver so please excuse
the stupidity of what I'm about to ask. My problem is this: I have
created a few templates that's been working just fine with text and
images but now I want to embed a sound file and can't for the life
of me get the sound to play. I've tried including the sound file in
the template but to no avail and have seen mention on various sites
of unlocking the header but haven't worked out how to do this. Can
anyone throw me a line on this? I'm midway through a majorly
important project and would really appreciate any advice.

http://www.spentharvests.com/templates/school_chapter.dwt
This file is not found by the browser.
Even this file -
http://www.spentharvests.com/Templates/school_chapter.dwt
(the templates folder name should always have an initial cap)
The code on the child page appears nominal. But at the
bottom, you have
this -
<div id="copyright">© 2007
spentharvests.com</div>
<embed name="CS1195492309000" src="../bethelWAV.wav"
loop="false"
autostart="false" hidden="true" width="0" height="0"
enablejavascript="true"></embed>
<embed name="CS1195506747203" src="bethelWAV.wav"
loop="false"
autostart="false" hidden="true" width="0" height="0"
enablejavascript="true"></embed>
The sound file is linked TWICE, and only the second link is
correct. So in
the template, change it to this -
<div id="copyright">© 2007
spentharvests.com</div>
<embed name="CS1195506747203" src="/School/bethelWAV.wav"
loop="false"
autostart="false" hidden="true" width="0" height="0"
enablejavascript="true"></embed>
(i.e., a root relative link directly to the sound file)
and see if that helps.

How to add Dynamic .php content to a Dreamweaver Template

OS: Windows 7
DW Version: CS5
PHP: XAMP Local Server
I hope someone can help. I have created a Dreamweaver Template for .php and created 5 child pages of this template. Everything is in working order as far as that is concerned. Here is my problem:
I want to add some dynamic data (some categories) from a MySQL database to a nonEditable section of the main template so that it will flow to the 5 child pages. I can create a connection to the database with no problem, but when I go to insert a recordset into the template, it asks me to set up the "site", "document type" and "testing server" which I have already done. I am pretty sure that this is because it is looking at the .dwt file type and saying that it needs to be a dynamic document like .php. I have tried going through those steps, but then it just ends up renaming my .dwt file to .php and then it is no longer a template. I do not know why I cannot add dynamic data to a dreamweaver template. It seems like it should be a no-brainer, but it just isn't working out for me. In my research, I did locate the following
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Extending/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f53d610 8-7fdb.html
but wasn't completely sure how to apply it or if it only pertained to CS4 since I am using CS5. To be honest, it confused me more than it helped.
I really hope there is a logical and simple solution to this issue as I have spent a lot of time researching/testing this.
Any help/direction is greatly appreciated. I am not looking for someone to just solve my problem and am willing to dig deep to learn, I am just do not know where to go from here.
Thanks again in advance for your assistance.

Brad,
Thanks that worked! Although I will have to re-create my child pages and re-link my style sheets and scripts. But that will not be too difficult as I have not yet added any content to them and is a very small price to pay for the answer to my bigger problem. What is a bit quirky is that I did try to create a test .php template but when I saved it, DW did not automatically add the .php to the end after .dwt. but rather just named it test.php. I didn't think to just rename it since I had read that it would add it automatically so I thought I was doing something wrong.
Maybe there are settings in the preferences that will fix this. None-the-less, I can now move forward with my development thanks to your timely response. I really appreciate it.

Adobe dreamweaver templates

when you download an adobe template you get the Design files which is where you find the PSD files
You also get the publish folder which is where you find your images, your css, spry assets, and you also get 3 templates
Ones of those templates is design from template. html
another template design html
and then another template which is the dreamweaver dwt template
which one of those three templates is the one that I have to use.
They confuse me .

A file that ends in the extension .dwt is a dreamweaver template.
You can make any .html page into a Dreamweaver template. Simply go to File>Save as Template…
Dreamweaver will create a /Templates folder where you have defined your website locally and place the template there.
Dreamweaver will not allow you to save a template without editable regions. The way you create an editable region in a dreamweaver template is to select an area in design view and select Insert>Template Objects>Editable Region. A window will come up asking you to name the region and you should give the area a good name that you'll understand.
Dreamweaver will insert code necessary to manage the template.
Dreamweaver will allow you to nest templates. Don't do that.
Dreamweaver templates allow you to create areas that are updated automatically on your website (like navigation, for instance) all throughout your website whenever you make a change to your template. The only other way to do this is to use server side includes. Dreamweaver templates make website creation, extension and management a snap.
So, when you design a page for a website, make that page into a template, define the areas you want to be able to change on every page as editable regions and let Dreamweaver do the heavy lifting whenever you need to change something site-wide.

Error while trying to download a template

We have a couple of users that particiapted in an Excel VBA training (with their laptops).
Since the training they can not download the WebAdi template.
All the VBA windows open up and there is a message of a compiler error with a Duplicate Option statement.
Other users, that did not attend this training can download the template without a problem.
Any idea what they might have downloaded / changed in the training that can cause this error ?
Thanks

hi,
Please check the MSExcel setting. we generally need to change it depending on the version. Please compare the two settings , one which is runing and other which is giving error.

Problems to Download Dreamweaver CS4 with Akamai Download Manager!

I want to download Dreamweaver CS4 Italian Windows Trial version.
I have Internet Explorer 7, PC with OS Windows XP x64bit Corporate, Core2Quad Q9650, Motherboard MSI P45Platinum with Ethernet 10/100/1000,
4GBRAM,3 HDD 500GB WesternDigital,Nvidia GeForce 9400GT.
I have installed "Akamai Download Manager ActiveX" control asked on the top of window popup.
Clicked Yes:Installation confirmation.
But I have tried to click the button "Download" and just one window with this message appears and disappears immediately:
Per scaricare il software è necessario installare Akamai Download Manager...
Problemi di download?
Assistenza per il download...
Il sistema non dispone dei requisiti minimi per eseguire Akamai Download Manager.
(The system doesn't meets the minimum system requirements to run Akamai Download Manager.)
I can't download anything. Why?
I have disable Pop-ups Blocker, and disabled also Anti-Phishing Filter.
Disabled also Antivirus and the Firewall.
Set and lowered Security Protection from Tools>Internet Options: to "Medium"; and also, another time, set to "Personalized" with all the controls
switched to "Active".
Set Privacy>Settings>"Accetta tutti i cookie"(lowered to full bottom).
I have read this Akamai Download Manager FAQ:
-"Nothing happens when I click the download link"
If nothing happened after you clicked the download link, either your pop-up blocker or a high security setting on your web browser may have stopped
the Akamai DLM window from opening.
If you have a pop-up blocker enabled in your web browser or in your Internet toolbar (such as the Yahoo! toolbar or the Google toolbar), you will
need to disable your pop-up blocker to start your download. For additional information, and for instructions on changing your security setting, see
the "Akamai Download Manager system requirements" (ServiceNote kb400530).
Note: The download manager can sometimes take up to a minute to load. Please allow time for the initial loading before assuming there is a problem
Thus, I have followed this rules in Akamai Download Manager System Requirements:
Internet Explorer 7
1) Access your Internet options from the Windows Control Panel (Internet Options) or by selecting Tools > Internet Options in Internet Explorer
2) Select the Security Tab
3) Click Custom Level
4) Scroll through the list of security options and set:
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Download signed ActiveX controls > Enable or Prompt
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Enable or Prompt
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting > Enable or Prompt
-Downloads > File download > Enable
-Miscellaneous > Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints > Enable
-Scripting > Active scripting > Enable
5) Click OK
6) Click OK again
But nothing changes.
On my PC I have also this installation: "J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5" and "Java(TM)6 Update 15".
But the download doesn't start at all.
1) How can I do to download Dreamweaver CS4-Windows-ITALIAN language?
2) Is it possible to download 364.8 MegaBytes without Akamai Download Manager?
Please Hurry!
Horsepower0171.

another option you may have is resettofactory
start- run- type:
cmd
press enter
type:
cd c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
press enter
type:
loader.exe /resettofactory
press enter
please perform a backup first
test your browser before you restore your backup, and to be ssafe I would do a selective restore
open DTM, go to backup/restore- advanced
top left click on file-open
find your backup, it will load on the left side
you current working BB will be on the right side
transfer ONLY the absolute important databases from the left to the right(address, cal, phone logs, messages, sms, tasks, memo)... dont do any that you dont know and dont do any OPTIONS ones

Dreamweaver Template Without Dreamweaver

Hi.
I'm doing an internship for the semester and the place i work is having me redesign their intranet. I'll be gone in December, and while no immediate changes will really need to be made, over time they will probably want to do something such as adding a link in the side menu...
The problem is, I don't think they use Dreamweaver--if they're using another web design program, is it possible for them to edit the dreamweaver template I've created for them?
Thanks.

Another approach is to use Server-Side Includes (text files) that contain hyperlinks, common headers & footers for example. Person responsible for updates could edit the SSI files in any html editor. Upload to server and the server would populate changes throughout the site.
More on SSIs:

Edit First line in dreamweaver templates

Hello,
When I create a page from a Dreamweaver template, a
dreamweaver comment similar to the one below will be inserted:

Each time I edit a page to add php code in the very first
line, it is removed with every template update and the source code
again starts with the dreamweaver comment. I need to add to all my
pages a php code in the very first line like this one:
<? $ob_start; $session_start; ?>
How can I do that without removing the code from my pages
with each template update. Another problem is that I can't insert a
placeholder in the very first line of a dreamweaver template. Above
that the first line is locked in dreamweaver, so that I can't
change it manually. Is there any workaround available?
Thanks,
Philip

Put the code ABOVE the <html> tag.
Which DW are you using? It looks like DW4 or earlier....

Flash banner in a Dreamweaver Template

Hi all,
I am using one of the provided Dreamweaver Templates (CSS).
All is fine, except that for some reason it does not like Flash
imports. I can alter the template as much as I like and it will
always successfully change across the site, BUT if I try to insert
a Flash movie/banner into the template - then it does not appear of
ANY of the site files. The only way I can see the flash banner, is
if I open the template.php file in a browser - then you can see
that it is in fact there and working - but for some reason the
other pages refuse to acknolwegde it. Images / Tables / Text - all
work fine - just not flash banners. I even tried saving the banner
as a JPG file in Flash, then sticking the JPG file in the template
where the banner should - and it worked perfectly, but as a .swf
extension it fails.
Am I missing something?
Nathan

> BUT if I try to insert a Flash movie/banner into the
template - then it
> does not appear of ANY of the site files.
Because of the active content .js fix, when you insert a .swf
file into a
template, you must use a Site Root relative path for it.
Open the .dwt template file.
Double-click on the .swf in design view- the "browse to file"
dialog box
should come up showing the currently selected file.
look in the bottom of that dialog box for the pulldown to
change from
document relative path to site root relative path. Change it
to site root.
click okay and save the file, and let changes propagate.
does it show in the child files now?
[note- It may still not show during local preview because
site root relative
paths in javascript will not make any sense during local
preview- they
should work fine on the remote host if the site has it's own
domain name
though]
