Repeating regions not working in Contribute 6.5

Repeating regions that work inside Dreamweaver aren't working in Contribute 6.5 where I get the error message "You can't add items to repeating regions because the draft's parent template is missing or not available to users in your role. Please contact the website administrator"
My role is administrator and this happens on pages based on single templates and nested templates as well as local files and pages published on a site.
The problem seems to run through several different versions of Contribute going back at least 5 years but I haven't found a solution yet.

For me the problem is different. I don't even get to to see the add/delete buttons, so I can not add och delete a new region! I am tryong to chat with the adobe support right now, but I am not feeling very succesful. Is anyone from Adobe reading this? (It is working in CS5)

Repeat regions not working in Contribute

I've got a problem with repeat regions inside templated
pages. When in contribute, I can't seem to add a new repeat region
by clicking on the plus (+) button, although it works fine in
dreamweaver. It isn't a permissions issue as far as I can tell,
since all roles have the ability to see and edit all documents, but
I can't figure out what else could be going on here. Any
ideas?

I think it's just a problem with Contribute's handling of
PHP. There was a small chunk of PHP code in a library item that had
to be removed. I was trying to save the value of a server variable
into a local variable, but had to end up putting the exact same
call in an inclue file instead. I just put the include statement
inside the library item so it showed up site-wide. The include
statement didn't do anything screwing during 'edit mode' in
Contribute, so that was the workaround.

Can anyone advise? Not good if the client worjs on Mac.

Marquees the HTML tag? It's the most hated HTML tag out there, most browsers removed it because it was such a pain to see in 1996 scrolling images and scrolling everything

Yes, ALL product information in the database were retrieved and sent to the email. Only 3 products for testing purposes.
I just tested it down to the do-while loop. The html table code after that is missing.
You have to bare in mind this is a crude test. The database set up query is not as complex as yours is so that may be why its working but certainly breaking up the 'message' is the way to go. I may try and get the products from another table tomorrow if I have time to test.
The html code and column database names are the same as you have. the recordeset is 'rsOrders' instead of 'rsOrder' that you used,

Template editable region not working

I am using DW2004. I have a template with a number of editable regions. One region is causing me problems. When I apply the template to a page, the BeginEditable and EndEditable tags become editable themselves. Trying to save the page causes errors about saving changes to regions that cannot be edited.
The template has this editable region:
    

<div id="MainText">
      <div align="left">

        Main Text

    </div>
</div>
MainText is a CSS style
#MainText{float:right; width:565px; margin: 0 0 0 0; background-color:#ffffff;}
In the document after the template is applied, I get the following.
    

<div id="MainText">
<div align="left">

<table width="329" border="0" cellpadding="10">
Problem is the  can be changed. If I do a return after the "-->" the tag is no longer able to be changed. Same with the end editable tag. As soon as I go back to Design view, the code changes to become editable again.
At the moment I have around 150 screwed up pages after running a template update. Can anyone help?

<h2> Overview</h2>
<p> <span class="style15"><a href="pa.htm"><img src="images/pa_general/pa_advt_2.gif" alt="Get Organised with Project Administirator Software" width="250" height="150" border="0" align="right"></a></span>As a Project Manager, it is inevitable you will have to carry out project interviews. They might range from interviewing a candidate for a project team role, to interviewing a Sponsor about their expectations on a project. Rarely are people given training on interviews. It is just expected that like breathing, it comes naturally. </p>
<p>Nothing could be further from the truth. Interviewing is a technique, and as such it needs to be taught. Some people are naturals and some struggle. If you doubt there is skill involved, turn on your TV and watch a professional interviewer on a current affairs type program. In this article, we attempt to cover a few of the basics that will make you a better interviewer.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>My Experiences</h2>
<p>Many years ago I took over a role as Marketing Manager in a financial services organisation. The week I arrived, it became evident that the company had a big hole in their investment portfolio and investors were about to loose lots of money. If I had known before, I might not have taken the job. I was to suddenly have to face the media and break the news. I had never thought much about being interviewed in the past but suddenly it became a significant concern. </p>
<p>The company called in a specialist who would prepare me over a number of days to handle interviews. In our first mock interview he had me blabbering nonsense in about a minute. We then went back to basics and he spent a week teaching me about interviewing techniques. By the end of the week I was confident to face the media and get my message across in a way that did not cause a run on the institution, and gave investors confidence that if they stayed with the organisation, within a year their losses would be recouped. In fact the majority did stay, and they did get their money back.</p>
<p>While I was on the other side of the fence (the interviewee), I also had to learn more about interviewing than I ever expected there was to know. Here is a simple thing I was taught in the first hour or so. You can see it on TV every night. Invade personal space. </p>
<p>A reporter on TV who is standing beside a person being interviewed has to stand close so they both fit on the screen. Typically this involves being within less than half a metre (about a foot) from the person. You can use this to your advantage with someone who has not had the benefit of media training to make them feel uncomfortable. </p>
<p>Try it on a colleague. Ask them an awkward question while standing up close to them. You can see them squirm. Ask the same question across the room, and they may show mild discomfort but nothing like the level when you are up close to them. Also see what happens when the reporter is trying to make the person comfortable. They move further away. In fact they may want to make them relax by putting some space between them before getting up close and personal for the killer questions.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Open and Closed Interviews</h2>
<p>Interviews can be either “Open” or “Closed”. Usually interviews are a mixture of both. We will cover how each type of interview is carried out, and the pros and cons of “Open” versus “Closed”. Managing an Interview around “Open” and “Closed” questions is a key skill of the interviewer.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Definition - Open and Closed Questions</h2>
<p>An open interview is one where questions are not specific. They are open ended and designed to allow the person to cover a broad range of topics. As an example</p>
<p>“Tell me about sales?” is an open question.</p>
<p>“What were sales for your territory last month?” is a closed question.</p>
<p>The first question may take half an hour to answer. The second will probably take less than a minute.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Why use Open Questions</h2>
<p>It all depends on what you already know and what you need to know. If you are absolutely confident you are fully briefed on a topic, and there is only one fact you need to determine, a closed question is preferable. On the other hand, if your knowledge is sketchy, and you are not even sure what questions to ask, an open question is the way to go.</p>
<p>If your washing machine is broken and the repair man tells you the water pump is not working, you are unlikely to ask him is it the shaft is worn, impeller is split or motor burnt out? That would be a closed question and we probably don’t have the knowledge to ask it anyway (Incidentally I did make that up. I have no idea what else could break). We would ask an open question such as asking him to explain further. At that point he might explain it is the impeller broken because some coins got through the filter and jammed in the pump. You can then follow up with a more closed question about what that means to the repair and your wallet.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Essence of Open Questions</h2>
<p>The essence of open interview technique is - </p>
<ul>
    <li>Question move from the general to the specific and back to the general</li>
    <li>Much is deduced from listening and probing. A simple comment may indicate an important area to be explored</li>
    <li>There are often unforeseen topics raised. Some are relevant and some may not be relevant. You need to filter and quickly dismiss the ones that are not relevant</li>
</ul>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Tips for Open Questions</h2>
<p>Here are a number of tips for asking open questions</p>
<ul>
    <li>Think if the person can answer “yes” or “no”. If the answer is they can, it is not an open question</li>
</ul>
<ul>
    <li>If the person provides a wandering answer, or a ‘brain dump’ offer a summary of the question - let the interviewees confirm its accuracy. <br>
“If I understand what you are saying…” </li>
    <li>Allow ample opportunity for ‘and also’ issues to be raised at the end of the interview or afterwards. People answering open questions tend to remember facts as they go along.</li>
</ul>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Closed Interviews</h2>
<p>In using the opposite interview technique, closed interviews, you might ask </p>
<p>“For reporting of sales, I suppose the current breakdown by nation, state and category is OK, isn’t it?” </p>
<p>The question presumes and prompts a yes/no answer. It also offers a quick and easy interview, requiring minimum reflection and analysis.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font> </p>
<h2>Why Closed Questions</h2>
<p>As mentioned, closed interviews are useful when you are trying to find out one fact. You know precisely the question to ask and know the possible answers. They are also useful in clarifying facts in an open interview. As people cover topics broadly, you might grab one point and want to understand it more clearly. You want to drill down on a particular aspect. </p>
<p>For example, you asked a question on how effective current sales reports are. The person is giving you a full briefing on all the reports, and the implications. They mention the sales summary report. You might ask a closed question about who receives the report and why they are provided with a copy.</p>
<p>Closed questions allow you to drill down on a piece of information. It is more likely that closed questions will be more spontaneous than open questions. As the open question draws out the big picture, you want to closely examine bits of the picture with closed questions.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>On the Spot</h2>
<p>Closed questions can put people on the spot. They can almost sound like they were fired by the prosecutor in a trial. </p>
<p>“When did you first know the project was behind schedule?”</p>
<p>“How many resources can you give up to the project?”</p>
<p>The result is the same as in a trial. The person becomes defensive. They try to find a way out of any admission or commitment. A better approach is to use an open question that allows people room to manoeuvre or qualify their answer. You can tighten up the response with closed questions based around the answer.</p>
<p>“How did you first come to suspect the project may not be on track?”</p>
<p>“If we need people to assist, how would you be able to help?”</p>
<p>In both cases, an open ended question allows the person to answer without feeling threatened or ambushed. You avoid the instinctive “flight or fight”.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Information Gathering</h2>
<p>An interview is an information gathering exercise. That means that you, as the interviewer, are there to direct and listen. You know your own views. The interviewee does not necessarily need to know those views. While you are talking, you are not listening and the purpose of an interview is to find out information from the interviewee. Your role is to keep the ball rolling down the road.</p>
<p>There is an old saying that when carrying out an interview, you should “speak with your ears”. In other words, if you say something it should only be because you want to hear the answer.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Making people comfortable</h2>
<p>A technique used by television interviews is to ask a number of easy questions to relax the person before hitting them with the big one. </p>
<p>“So your name is Jim Brown? Lived here long Jim? Married with 2 kids I hear?”</p>
<p>Then</p>
<p>“So tell us about killing your mother in law with a chain saw.”</p>
<p>Use the relaxing questions to start your interview. If the person is at all apprehensive at the start of an interview, a few questions to loosen them up will help later in the discussion. </p>
<p>Imaging you are being interviewed and you are feeling a little nervous or unsure about the area under discussion. You might not even know exactly why you are being interviewed. If the person starts by explaining the purpose of the interview then asks a few easily answered questions, you start to relax and will become more likely to assist the person.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Follow the dots</h2>
<p>An agenda is a great tool, in most circumstances. If you are having a regular review meeting and have a range of regular topics to cover, an agenda is a great roadmap. Point 1; point2; point 3.</p>
<p>If on the other hand it is an open discussion, an agenda may be an impediment. The interviewee may want to talk about point 1 and 7 because he sees them as related. The discussion is roaming around the topic, and it might not fit into neat compartments. </p>
<p>In this case use the agenda as a checklist. It does not have to be strictly followed. It can be a list of topics you want to have covered by the end of the interview. As the interview draws to a close, go over the agenda and see if any points still need discussion. It takes some skill to treat an agenda as a set of boundaries rather than a roadmap. If you can develop those skills, the results can be excellent.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Summarising</h2>
<p>Sometimes people lose the thread of what they are saying. Their mind is wandering down a path and they forget where they have been or are going. It is useful to sometimes stop and summarise what you think has been said. It is double purposed. Firstly it confirms what has been said, and secondly it re-focuses the person.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Active Listening</h2>
<p>It is a fact that most people want to be listened to. It is important to feel that the person is mentally still with us as we speak. The occasional nod of the head or confirmation of a point helps people feel their comments are valued. Be sure to respond to people or they will stop contributing and want to terminate the interview. Writing things down will assist in convincing people their input is of value.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Answer the Question</h2>
<p>Watch a politician answer a question, and you will often find they don’t answer the question. Techniques include:</p>
<ul>
    <li>“That is a good point but before I answer that let me say…” and of course they never get back to the question</li>
    <li>“I want to make three points…” none of which are relevant to the question</li>
    <li>“Why would you ask me that?” In other words, let’s argue about whether you should ask the question rather than try and answer it.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you cannot get an answer to a question, try to understand why the person is uncomfortable to provide an answer. It may just be that they forgot the original question and went off on a different track. On the other hand they may well have something they don’t want to tell you. Sometimes understanding the reason for not answering in fact answers the question.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Body Language</h2>
<p>Very few people can hide body language. You do not have to be an expert to read it as we all do to some extent. The eyes looking around the room for an answer; folded arms in a defensive position; legs crossed towards you for trust and away for mistrust. There are many articles on body language and a bit of research can help you read what is not being said.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Independent Interviewer</h2>
<p>As a consultant I have been amazed some times at what people have told me. Even though it might not be attributed to them in a report, people often say things to an outsider they would never say to their peers.</p>
<p>I remember one project review where the project manager was scathing in his remarks about the steering committee. He had never expressed his thoughts to them but told me. On investigation I had to agree with his comments and put it in the report. One of the steering committee members came up to me afterwards and asked me why the project manager never expressed his concerns to the committee?</p>
<p> Sometimes it is useful to use an outside party for interviews as they are usually seen as coming to the situation without a bias. If not independent, they are usually viewed as not coming to support any entrenched point of view. In fact, from a consultant credibility point of view, it does you no good to go into an organisation to reinforce a particular person’s case if you do not believe it to be valid. I usually tell people in that situation that I do investigation, not lobbying. </p>
<p>Several years ago I did a PIR for a company and managed to upset the executive management team by pointing out their lack of support and the failures that followed. Although I had done considerable work for the organisation I was not invited back to do any more work for a couple of years. When I was invited back, I found most of the people I had been critical of had moved on. I was invited back because the person who now wanted work done was impressed with my fairness and impartiality from years before. He had remembered me and now needed the same sort of review done without someone pushing a particular point of view. What goes around comes around.</p>
<p align="center"><font face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica" color="#006666"><img src="images/miscellaneous/dividing_line.gif" width="300" height="10"></font></p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p><font color="#006666" face="trebuchet ms, arial, helvetica"><a href="pa.htm"><img src="images/pa_general/pa_advert.gif" alt="project management software" width="250" height="100" border="0" align="left"></a></font>It is surprising how many people think an interview is just a fireside chat. The dynamics are far more complex. Think about your own interviewing technique and use some of these ideas to improve it. It is particularly important for your career path as you sometimes have to interview senior managers. The interview is often the only real exposure you have for them to form an opinion of you. If a promotion comes up and you have just bungled your way through a poor interview with a senior manager, your chances of getting a promotion are low. On the other hand if you have managed to direct the interview in a manner that impressed the manager, your chances are enhanced.</p>

Sql functions in Pl/Sql region not working

Spry menu bar not working in Contribute

I have created a site in Dreamweaver which my client will
edit in Contribute. However when i view the site in Contribute -
the Spry menu bar doesn't show up like it did in Dreamweaver.
instead it shows up like a text list. Has anyone run into this
issue before? if so how did you resolve it. Thank you.

Although, I did download IE-Tester which allows you to test in different IE versions and it does not seen to work there?
IE-tester shows that you have got a problem 0n line #102. Unfortunately, the tester cannot be relied upon reflecting the correct line number. There is a problem on line #27 where there is no space in front of "type="
<script src="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBar.js"type="text/javascript"></script>
and line #86 where there is no space before "rel="
<link href="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBarVertical.css"rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Now for my next problem, and if I can get this working I should be in fairly good shape. I had made some formatting changes (centered the menu bar, and made some color changes) See below, however those are now not working..Normally, when a question has been answered, it is marked as correct and any new questions are asked in a new post.
However, you caught me in a good mood, just signed contracts for three new projects one as far away as Switserland.
Lines #27 and #28 look like
<script src="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBar.js"type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBarVertical.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Lines #84 and #86 look like
<script src="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href="http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/widgets/menubar/SpryMenuBarVertical.css"rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
This may not confuse the browser, but it is not very conducive. Remove either set of links.
When I look at SpryMenuBarVertical.css
change the value of line 16 to auto, has not been done
starting at line 81, change the highlighted values, has not been done
So it is no wonder there are no changes.

Repeat is not working in music

any idea as to how to activate repeat in music. the repeat icon is lit, but not working. thanks.

You say the control is lit, I think it should turn black if it is enabled, it should not be white. If it is black, and still not working, quitting the app and try again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by e tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

Edit page not working in Contribute

I have a site that I administer in Contribute, a user called
today because they are not able to Edit a page. When you click the
Edit button it just sits there. As the Administrator I try to go
into the file and I can't get into it either. I even recreated the
page in Dreamweaver and it is still hanging.
I looked on the site and there is not a .lck on this file.
Thank you in advance for any assistance.

Hi loretta,
Sorry to hear that you have problems using contribute.
Can you do the following and let me know:
What is the version of contribute you are using?
Which platform are you running on?
1. Create a new page in contribute as non- admin
2. Publish the page
3. Edit the page again
4. Publish the page. (Does this work?)
Are you not able to edit any page on the site or is it
specific to a page only?
Would it be possible to debug your problem if you can setup
another sample test site and upload the same roles to that site and
send me connection keys for adminstrator and non-admin roles?
You can email me directly at <[email protected]>

Jquery show/hide not working in contribute CS5 or CS6

We use Dreamweaver templates and our users use contribute CS5 or contribute CS6 to edit webpages. We recently added some Jquery code that shows/hides DIVs on the webpage. When our users try to edit this page, the Divs are hidden they are not able to see the content to edit it. Is there a workaround for this?

Hi motiondude,
I am having a similar problem with CS6 and show/hide buttons in an interactive PDF. I am having the German CS6 version of InDesign (just as info).
What my problem is: I have made some sort of „gallery“, where there are small versions of all pictures on the page, and a big version of everyone are on a pile over each other.
When you click the small „preview“ image I made a show/hide action that it should show the big version of the picture. This worked fine on the first page where I tried this!
But on the second page with other images it wasn’t working at all. When I opened the PDF in my Acrobat Pro (Version 10.1.7) the buttons did not show up the pictures when I
clicked them. The first image stayed there.
I for sure checked my setting several times, everything is fine and correct in the actions and buttons area. In the SWF preview I checked it too, everything should work fine.
Yes, I know that this preview is just for SWF, but it is a fast checking tool for actions.
Afterwards I also tried opening the file with the PDF viewer. The problem still was there.
What „solved“ my problem for now was to make an idml and open the file in CS5. Making an interactive PDF out of the CS5 – and it worked!
Though I am just at the very beginning of my document, so lets see if CS5 will be my solution until I am finished with it.
To summ it up, it seems this is really a bug in CS6. I also read here http://forums.adobe.com/message/4482056 that this seems to be a bug. But one in the forum mentioned
this bug should be fixed with the new release. But this was back in 2012! I have the newest update. But I still have the problem.
Maybe it will take some time until it is fixed in the German version? I am not sure. It is really annoying.
I think writing a bug report should be done in this case!

Repeat event not working correctly

Yosemite 10.10.1 (14B25)
Calendar Version 8.0 (2026)
I've set up custom repeating events before. I work offshore on a fixed schedule, 6 weeks on 3 weeks off. I always start work on a Wednesday and finish on a Tuesday, I've set these up previously as its the easiest way to see if I'm home for a birthday or event of somesort.
However, my schedule has just moved after some time off and now when I set up a new event instead of a perfect 9 week cycle, calenar adds some extra days onto the end of repeating cycles, varying days, sometime 1, 2 or 3 extra.
So, I'm trying to set up my new schedule as follows;
New event - Work
Starts - Wednesday 11/02/15
Ends - Tuesday 24/03/15
Repeat - Custom, Every 9 weeks on Wednesday
End Repeat - After 12 times
Fairly straight forward, my schedule cycle is 9 weeks, so repeat ever 9 weeks on weds, the duration is exactly 6 weeks whilst at work, again fairly straight forward.
This is where I start getting problems,
1st repeat event starts on the correct day (15th April), but the end of the event is 2 days late on 28th June instead of 26th June.
2nd repeat event is the same, starts on the correct day but ends two days late.
3rd repeat event starts correct but ends 3 days late
4th repeat event starts correct but ends 3 days late
This continues, 3 late, 2 late, 1 late, 2 late etc
So I change it to repeat every 63 days, but still get the same error in the length of event?
Can anybody help or is it a flaw in the new version of calendar? I've tried using my iPhone to create the event in the same way but get the same results, extra days on the end?
Thanks

If you do not have the code for the button, and the button, present throughout your timeline travels, then you need to assign the code anytime you leave and return to whatever section(s) it is in. The code only executes in the frame it is in even though you might extend it along the timeline.

Editable regions not working in code view

I am working in DW MX, Windows XP. I am making changes to
current pages and have also created a new template page (based on
an existing template) for additional pages.
All of my pages are based on templates, which have editable
regions. For some reason when I try to make a change in the code
view I get this error:
"Making this change would require changing code that's locked
by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded."
However, I do not get this message when I make changes in the
design view.
I am definitely attempting to make changes in the editable
region so I'm stumped why this is suddenly happening.
Any ideas?

IOS7.1.1 messages Repeat Alerts not working

Hi - Since updating to iOS7.1.1 the repeat message alert for SMS /TXT's is no longer working. I have checked my settings which look unchange
Notification Center > Messages > Repeat Alerts > 10 times
Has anyone else had the same issue or no a solution
Thanks

is irrelevant that it was newer called "live"
No, he asked for "LIVE", both in the title and first line of the first post. And no one still knows exactly what he meant, including you. I can only infer the the real meaning of "live" meaning real time, in the real world. Also iIn this world, YOU defined it as "360 degree panorama", which also never existed on iPhones
There is absolutely no reason to deny that this feature existed,
It didn't exist, both as the OP and yourself described it. What did briefly existed - the ability to use and iPhone panorama photo for wallpaper - is not what either of you described and was wisely omitted in the released iOS. There were many complaints about it.
And if you mean it would break the nda to discuss this, the whole thread sould be removed!
As it should...

Search by Date in Query Region Not working

Hi,
I have created a custom page with query region -autocustomization construction mode.
This query region has a vo which contains one of the fields is requestedDate of date datatype.
Requirement is :
I need to fetch all records..based on requestDate (also)in search panel. But i am getting all the records in the table..
Please advise me to solve this issue..
Thanks in advance,
Pradeep

Pradeep
You should check and compare the date field mapping with other fields that you have done the correct mapping like other fields , because there should be no issue if mapping is correct, is this entire custom page created by you ? or are you doing changes in existing custom page ?
thanks
