Repeating Regions and Editable Tag Attributes?

I want to produce a template that will let users create pages
that list items as a thumbnail image and a short text description,
one after the other.
I can set this up as a repeating region, but I would also
like to make only certain attributes of the image editable (src and
alt for example). However, when I use editable tag attributes to do
this, the image in each repeated region ends up with the same
attribute values - when I add a new repeat region and then change
the src tag through the Template Properties dialog,
all of the images take on the same src value. Looking at the
code, it looks like the editable instances in each repeated region
get the same name, and so I can see that DW will get confused.
Is this a limitation in DW? Is there a work around anyone can
suggest?
TIA

So, you have some number of people who are editing the child
pages and you
want to constrain their editing choices? Are you using
Contribute?
Anyhow, I am not aware of any convenient way you can do
something like this
using DW's Template features.

DWCS3 Template Editable Regions and Editable Attributes?

Using DWCS3 / WIN XP
New to DWCS3 and templates AND CSS but I'm managing I
think....
QUESTION:
is there a way to allow the end user to edit the content of
an editable region and also the attributes of the cell in which the
editable region resides?
SITUATION:
I'm building templates for pages (styled with external CSS)
that will be editable by the end user via Contribute. I've put
editable and repeating regions (imgs and navigation menus) in
particular tds and would like the end user to be able to change the
color of the background of the cells in which the editable regions
reside.....
Of course I get "cannot place an editable region inside an
editable region" .......understandable...i've read more than a few
help/tutorial docs......
So I thought that I should click the tag selector for that td
and Make Attribute Editable.....
That's not working either....I know I'm missing something
because I haven't used DW in years and I'm just not getting some
big picture logic......
EXAMPLE: In the .html page attached for viewing, the upper
left image SRC is in an editable region. I would like the
background color of the cell it is in to be editable as well. Same
goes for the background color of the left navigation menu which
resides in a nested table by the way...........but i still want the
color to be editable.....
Thanks so much for any help you can give....

Editable regions and UL tags

I notice that D8 design view can corrupt the view of a page
element if an editable region is included. I.e.
<div class="leftsideCol">
<ul>
<li class="title">In-Page links</li>
<li><a href="#">Navigation
Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Navigation
Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Navigation
Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Navigation
Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Navigation
Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Navigation
Title</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Navigation
Title</a></li>
</ul>


<p class="sidebarTitle">?! Notices !?</p>

<div class="sideMssgeBoxCntnr">
<p class="sideMessageTitleBkgrndYel">Subject
Title</p>
<p class="sideMessageBoxText">Put your message here. Be
succinct to avoid overcrowding the sidebar. Here is a <a
href="#">link</a> which can be removed by normal text
delete.</p>
</div>
</div>
The first region statements corrupt the view (remove them and
all displays correctly). This does not affect the final page.
If I try to solve this by putting the region just inside the
UL and /UL tags the design view is good. BUT the resulting page has
an extra UL opening tag. Why is this, it upsets the styling?
Where can I find a definitive set of rules for putting
regions around tags other than <p> which seems to work OK? I
want to make a set of LIs editable and be able to add another LI to
the list.

There must be something else going on. Your posted code would
be quite
normal. Why not upload this page and post a link to it so I
can see the
whole picture, please.

The regions must be properly nested. That's about it. In
other words, you
could not have this -
<div>
</div>

> I want to make a set of LIs editable and
> be able to add another LI to the list.
Exactly what you have would do that.

H:panelGrid and td tag attributes

Hi,
I am using h:panelGrid for a static table with just 2 columns and a few rows. My UI designer created two styles for alternating rows. I added following to the panelGrid:
rowClasses="rowbg1, rowbg2".
The UI designer does not like the fact that those two styles are added to the tr tag instead of td tag in the generated html code. He wants me to add those to the td tag and add a width= attribute to td tag as well. I could not figure out a way to add the styles to the td tag. If I add the styles to panelGroup, it will be added to the span tag in html code. Anybody has any suggestion?
Thanks!

The columnClasses attribute of <h:panelGrid> will affect the <td> tag, however, you may not be able to get the effect you want using it.
The simplest approach is to build the table using HTML inline with your JSF view.

Help with target filter in an ACI and editing multivalue attributes

Here is the ACI I tried to use:
(targetattr = "*")
(target = "ldap:///ou=xyz,dc=company,dc=com")
(targetfilter=(objectclass=groupofuniquenames)||(objectclass=extendedobjectclass1)||(objectclass=extendedobjectcla ss2))
(version 3.0;acl "xyzadmin privileges";
allow (selfwrite,write,delete,add)
(userdn = ldap:///uid=xyzadmin,ou=people,dc=company,dc=com");)
1. Is the targetfilter syntax above correct? This does not work even when I tried the other notation
" (|(|(objectclass=X)(objectclass=Y))(objectclass=Z)) "
2. xyzadmin needs to update (another system creates a value initially) an 'extendedattribute' in either of the 'extendedobjectclass1/2'. This works if I set seperate ACIs. If I combine them (as above) does not work. Any solutions?
3. Not exactly related to this. The 'extendedattribute' is a multi-value attribute. Say it has two values,
(extendedattribute: ID1=222|ID2=333, ID1=444|ID2=-1). If I want to use ldapmodify and replace the
'ID1=444|ID2=-1' to 'ID1=444|ID2=555', how can it be done?
The same question can be rephrased as 'how can I replace a value amongst a set of values in a multivalued attribute with ldapmodify'? Is it possible?
p.s.: Please don't ask to split the ID1, ID2 into 2 attributes as one of the products using the directory requires it to be that way (ID1=<vale>|ID2=<value>).

My answer will concerne only your first query.
Firstly, the target syntax must include the target keywork in the first portion of rule.
Have you try these syntax ===>
(targetfilter="(|(objectClass=groupofuniquenames)(|(objectClass=extendedobjectclass1)(objectClass=extendedobjectclass2)))")
or
(targetfilter="(|(objectclass=groupofuniquenames)(objectclass=extendedobjectclass1)(objectclass=extendedobjectclass2))"
The first syntax works correctly for me.
I hope this is help you and good luck for the rest.

Nested templates - problems with inheriting editable/repeating regions

I have made a template called 'basic', with 2 sections, 'maincontent' and 'sidecontent' then nested a template in it called 'home'. In 'home', I have made repeats of some regions (sidecontent) and edited them to make a section I want on all 'home' type pages. When I make a new document from 'basic', it has all the same editable and repeating regions as 'basic'. But when I make a new document from 'home' there are no editable or repeating regions, either in 'sidecontent' which I edited or 'maincontent' which I didn't. I want to be able to edit 'maincontent' when I make a new document from 'home', to make repeating regions and edit them. Please can you advise me what to do?
Thanks

When I tried to attach the files it automatically zipped them again, so I have put the code above.
Thanks,
Rachel

Help with template locked and editable regions

I have been using templates for years in a very simplified way, my programing skills are not great. Today I seem to have screwed up a template beyond my ability to fix it and possibly all 46 pages attached to it (have not uploaded any of these files though).
The body tag needs to be editable because of the preload images that are part of the tag. The next section needs to be editable for content which is different on all pages. The last part is a table with text navigation to each page which needs to be locked so I can change it from one place.
DW keeps inserting an extra body tag and putting an end body tag after the editable content region (before the locked table), depending on where I try to put the tags. Then it won't let me change areas of the content on individual pages and it's not displaying the bottom nav table (although it does show up in safari, but I know the code is wrong).
Basically what I would like to do is simply have the whole body region editable, except for the one table toward the bottom of each page. Can I do this with out having any content thrown off my pages? I really don't know what code to post at this point since it's all in various stages of "not-working", but the version I am using is DW8.
Here is a link to an online page which might help you see what I am talking about, this is from before I started trying to change the template:

Hi, AZ,
Templates imply locked regions and editable regions...usually WITHIN the body, so having the entire body editable might be what is throwing things off.
It is possible to make attributes of tags editable, but I don't believe that is supported in DW8. You would make the body tag editable so that the id can be changed to match the page (#contactuspage, #homepage, etc.), and by doing that you can focus your CSS on each page. I use that technique to influence the navigation to highlight the page that I am on (of course, I also put ids on the nav links, viz. #contactus, #home, etc., and #contactus2, #home2, etc. for the footer links). All these you would style in the CSS file. I'm pretty sure you can't pass actual content that way yet, but you can define background images.
I see that you are doing that sort of thing in your pages.
While you are in the template, look at the code just before the <body> tag. There should be something that says


</head>
Copy the two commented lines and change the word "head" to "body" []. Then put the BeginEditable line just before the <body> tag and the EndEditable line just after it. That should leave your body tag open for editing in Code View. Remember, all you want editable here is the <body> tag, not the whole <body> of the document.
Be sure to add editable regions in the rest of the page, controlling them as you wish.
At any rate, have courage...once you have fixed your template, the other 46 pages will fall into line!
Understand that I am working in DWCS4, so I don't know how this is going to work in DW8. Hopefully, it will work fine.
(Have you considered upgrading to CS4? You may still be able to do that from DW8 at an upgrade price.)

Help I can't get my images and description from recordset to display in repeat region table

Hi everyone,
could somebody please help me, this is my first php and mysql website, I have a web page that is supposed to display a table with 2 rows 3 columns.
In each column i want an image, a description and a paypal button.
then i have a repeat region placed around the second row which should display 3 records at a time.
The recordset worked when I tested it several times, and the paypal button displays in the browser, but the image and the description won't display and the repeat region doesn't work either as only one button paypal button displays.
I have uploaded the actual page, in the hope that some could take a look and help me to find out what the problem is.
Thanks

In the second row, did you mean you want the three fields to display, not three records? A record is one row of data.
Start by getting a single row to display, and leave the paypal button out for now. So that means you will see the first record in your recordset, the image and description. To view the description, use the data bindings panel, expand the recordset and drag the description field onto the page in the table. For the image, insert and image placeholder and point the source to a dynamic data source. Again, choose the approprate field from your recordset.
Once that record is working, add your repeat region and test.
For the Paypal button, I am not sure if each button will carry the correct information with it in a repeat region. There has to be a way to dynamicall add the approprate data to the paypal link for each record. You may want to also incude checkboxes or radio buttons and have only 1 paypal button - but that introduces other issues which we can tackle later.

Repeating Region Mystery

Hello all,
I've been working with templates for the past few weeks and I'm loving it!
Everything has gone smoothly till now. I'm having a very unsual problem with repeating regions and I can't seem to figure out what is causing it. Hopefully someone here can shed some light on this issue.
Basically, I have two templates: one parent and one child template. There are two repeating regions in total.
Problem: When I create a new page using the child template, the repeating regions disappear completely. Meaning, all the repeating region code surrounding an element is completely gone. In fact, my repeating regions have an editable region within it and they disappear with the repeating region! However, when I create a new page using the parent template itself, the repeating regions are there and everything is functioning as it should.
This is only happening with repeating regions. All editable regions, separate from repeating regions, are there.
I would really appreciate the help!
Thanks!

I had no idea that nested templates are a serious problem in Dreamweaver.
It's not. It's a serious problem for users who opt to use them. Why? Because any benefit you derive from the coolness is more than offset by the disadvantages you experience down the road from their use. I am a devout user of templates and have never found a single scenario where the use of nested templates would help.
Most of my knowledge of Dreamweaver comes from Lynda.com's videos. I'm surprised that the instructor behind those videos never mentioned any such problem about nested templates.
Me too. To me this says that they have never *actually* used them either. It's very disappointing.
Is there any other way to replicate this functionality?
Yes, in every case there is. But first tell me how you were going to use them, please. What specifically is it about them that you were going to leverage in your page design?
When working with templates, I use the following scheme....
First, I mentally separate the page layout into three sections:
1. Stuff that will not change for the life of the site (i.e., the basic
structural elements)
2. Stuff that *could* change from time to time (e.g., navigation elements,
burst advertisements, section-specific navigation, etc.)
3. Stuff that *will* change from one page to the next
Then I create a template containing all class1 elements. Next I create
server-side include files containing all class 2 elements and place them on
the template as needed. Note - some of the class 2 elements may be
"section-specific elements", and their placement on the template will be
subject to the next item. Finally, I insert editable regions to cover the
class 3 items, INCLUDING the section-specific navigation.
This allows me to just cookie-cut the rest of the site. I estimate that
even for fairly large sites, about 80% of my work goes into planning and
creating this template file.

Renaming Tag Attribute

Cannot rename an "a" tag attribute in a DWT. I go to Modify, Templates, Make Attribute Editable. In the pop up I click add, another pop_up box asks me to name the new attribute. However it will not let me type anyting in the naming box.
Any assitance is appreciated.
Thanks

Close. Here what we are supposed to do from the lesson from class. Taking intermediate Dreamweaver CS6.
What we need to do now is go through the links one at a time, selecting the anchor tags and then modifying the template so that the class attribute is editable for each anchor tag. Is your head spinning yet? Don't panic—this is easy.
Let's do it:
In your template's Document window, select the word Home on the navbar.
On the Tag Selector at the bottom of the Document window, click the <a> tag to select it.
Select Modify > Templates > Make Attribute Editable from the menu bar. This opens the Editable Tag Attributes dialog box, shown here:
Editable Tag Attributes dialog boxThere's only one problem—the attribute listed in the Attribute field isn't the one we want. The dialog box defaults to whatever attribute the tag currently has, and the only attribute in place right now is the href one. We want the class attribute, so we need to add it to the menu. We do that by clicking the Add button.
Click the Add button to the right of the Attribute field to bring up another small dialog box.
Type class into the field provided, as shown here:
Adding the class attribute
Now click OK to return to the original dialog box and finish our modifications.
In the Label field, enter Home_link.
Leave the Type field set to Text.
Leave the Default field empty, and click OK.
Above are the instructions for the lesson. I tried what you suggested but I stil cannot type in the pop up box

Assigning "position" in repeat region

I have a site that runs a contest and displays winners from
across the
nation. Through the year they compete and can go online to
see where they
stand in relation to others in their same territory. In order
to display
the winner's positions on the page, I sort the underlying
data in sql using
the necessary criteria, then on my asp page, as part of the
repeat region, I
run code that loops through the recordset and uses an x+1
method of
displaying each person's position. Whether or not this is the
best way to
do this, it works.
MY PROBLEM...
Up until now I only needed to display the positions based on
one selected
territory. So my results would always simply show 1 -x, in
order.
Joe territory1 1
Van territory1 2
Tim territory1 3
Bob territory1 4
NOW I am being asked to show the entire nation on one page
for
administrators. They want to see ALL the territories and the
positions of
each person for each territory, and have the ability to sort
based on
various columns. So now my "positions" column will have
several people in
1st position, several in 2nd, etc.
Joe territory1 1
Jen territory2 1
Van territory1 2
Sue territory2 2
Tim territory1 3
Len territory2 3
Bob territory1 4
Ken territory2 4
I'm not sure how to go about this, and would greatly
appreciate any advice!

In the actual case the criteria for winning is that 1) ALL
criteria are met
(there are actually four of them, not two as shown in my
example), and then
2) you have the highest perentage.
So in the case below, remembering that each territory has its
own set of
winners, it would look like this (if sorted by winning
position - keeping in
mind that I need to allow sorting on ANY column by the user):
name territory Criteria_A Criteria_B Criteria_C POS
Bob 1 74% Y Y
1
Tim 1 42% Y Y
2
Van 1 25% Y Y
3
Len 2 66% N Y
1
Sue 2 56% N Y
2
Joe 1 43% Y N
4
Ken 2 82% N N
3
Jen 2 68% N N
4
Here you can see that Bob, Tim, and Van all have Y for both
their B & C
criteria, so they are sorted to the top (how I do that is
somewhat secondary
at this point -- you can just assume that Y=10 and N=0 and
I'll sort on the
sum of those columns).
Then Len, Sue, and Joe each have one Y and one N, so they are
grouped
together based on that, then sorted by percent. Note that Joe
has a
position of 4 because he is in Territory 1.
Lastly, Ken and Jen have "N" for both criteria, so they are
sorted last, and
then by their percentage.
I put a dashed line in there as a visual aid -- doesn't need
to be in my
results.

Nested Repeat region error

I am trying to create a simple nested repeat region and I get a mismatch error. I ran a SQL trace and it seems to not be passing the key from the master table , but rather @p1 in its place. any ideas?

Spry repeat Region

I am creating a staff page for our school using Dreamweaver
CS3. I can create a spry region and a repeat region and the staff
image and its caption get displayed but he repeat ocuurs in a
stacked format. Is there any way to configure the repeat to occur
like a table (so many columns and rows concept). Thanks.
Darren

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td width="50%"><div spry:region="{ds1}">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td spry:repeat="ds1">{thumbnails}</td>
</tr>
</table></div></td>
<td><div spry:detailregion="ds1">{Detail
Region}</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
I'm not sure how this would work for alot of thumbnails, but
it works for what I used it for (4 thumbnails across the
row)

IPhoto Crashed Whenever I Edit Tags

I installed the new iPhoto this morning, and spent several hours editing Faces and Places. Then, when I began renaming some photos and editing tags, it crashed. Now iPhoto crashes every time I attempt to edit any tag information. Any suggestions???

try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
