Saving Templates & Pages

I did all the correct steps to create the site in dreaweaver
and began editing the template file.. save it.. than began creating
pages.. all was.. well... but, somewhere along the line I came back
and made a change to the template and it asked if I want to have
all the pages using that template to receive the change.. this is
where the problem is.. I have about 30 pages but only about 5 pages
come up on the list of pages made by the template..
so in the meantime till i figure out how to solve this issue
I have to open the template and than save it as the new page name..
than go to my old page and copy and paste the content into the new
page.. than upload the page to the site.. It's a pain as you can
imagine and very tedious to do it this way..
any ideas how to get those darn pages recognized by the
template so all the template changes come to all the pages.?
thanks

How did you create the pages from the template???
Do THIS:
File-->New-->click Template tab
click this site-->click that template and make sure a
checkmark is in
"update this page"
My guess is you did a "save as" of the template to make those
pages that
don't update.
Also- a template update only changes the local site. You have
to upload the
changed files.

Allow "Signing" and "Creation of Template Pages" in Reader XI

Hi.
I have created a form in Adobe Pro XI that allows the (Reader XI) user to insert additional templates pages by clicking "button X". The form also provides the user a Digital Signature field to sign the document.
In order for the user to be able to use the Digital Signature field the file must be saved as a "Reader Extended PDF" with the "Enable More Tools" option. This however, disables the addional templates option.
Is there a way to allow for both "Signing" and "Creation of Template Pages" in a Reader document?
Thanks

Thanks GKaiseril. While I was hoping for some sort of option choice or Javascript I feared that would be the resonse.

How to insert a templated page into an existing Pages document

I'm sorry if this is a low level question. I'm new to using Pages. I have a word processing document started. I want to add pages, or I guess they call them "sections" in this form (why?). I have saved a page that I created as a template. It exists in my template folder. But when I go to add new pages to my document I am only offered the option of adding a text document or a blank page. It doesn't give me the option of adding the template that I made. Everything I've tried results in opening a new document or making a copy of the template. This does not feel very intuitive to me.
Thank you in advcance!

You are taking about Pages '09? because this has been removed from Pages 5.
Clunky as it may be it does have some very powerful features.
You can capture as many pages into a Section as you want, which automatically sets up a document in depth. Once you have done the work, it is super fast to compose a new document from all the parts.
It is a shame that Apple didn't simply fix what needed fixing with this model, instead of ditching it, because I am really stumped how to set up documents in the current version.

JSF Page extending a template page contains no facet tags

Using JDeveloper 11g Version 11.1.2.1.0
With an ADF Fusion Web Application
I created a JSF template page by following this link:
[http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/jdev/obe11jdev/ps1/adf_richclient/adfrichclient.htm]
However, when I create a JSF page based on the template no facet tags show up on the page.
In the new JSF page I can see the template layout with the header, left and the center facet but the regions are uneditable
and no faceets shows up under the Structure window or in the source that were in the template page.
The last item that shows up in the Structure window is <>af:pageTemplate
Using the Oracle Three Column Layout template the tags show up just fine.
Any recommendations?

Frank,
Yes, I did have the facetRef tags in the template. I had saved the template page as a .jsf since then I have gone back and created a new template as a jspx.
Now the facet tags do show up in the structure window and I can add layout components from the component palette and data controls as well.
But None of that content shows up in the Designer window and when I run the page the whole area with the content just shows up as gray.

Templates - pages not updating

Hi. I have created a simple webpage with a separate CSS file.
I have now saved this page as a template, the template folder is
created in my root directory and the template appears within this
folder. I now create a new page based on the template. This opens
and I save it as a new page in a new folder within my root
directory. If I close all pages and then open up the template and
edit some of the editable areas and then save it asks me if I would
like to update all the pages created by this template. I say yes,
however it will not update the pages. Also going into each page and
manually forcing an update doesn't work either. I have deleted the
pages and the template about five times and each time it still
doesn't work. Can't find an answer on this forum or the internet as
each soloution doesn't work either. Help!! Thanks.

Changes to editable regions of template files DO NOT
PROPAGATE TO CHILD
PAGES. It is only the changes to the non-editable regions of
the template
that propagate.
This is how templates have always worked. If it were not the
case, you
could never have unique content on any child page.
> Can't find an answer on this forum
There is a long thread just today about this exact topic -
Subject: Meta description
> each soloution doesn't work either
That's because there is no solution other than to learn how
to use
templates. That *will* work! 8)

How To Add A Template Page

Hi! So in school, I am required to write up a newspaper and conveniently I have a Late 2013 Retina 13.3" Macbook Pro. After playing around with the pages Newsletter templates, I decided to go with the first option. However I could not find any option or tools to add a new template page. My teacher in school seems to have done it by going to Sections and then selecting various template pages. It seems as if this feature was removed in the new Yosemite update for Pages. Is there an alternative or another option for me to get additional template pages? Thanks!

Hi KindaKing,
It seems you would like to know how to save a document you've created as a Pages template. You can do this easily by following the steps in this article:
Pages for Mac 5.0: Add custom templates
If you create a document that you want to use again as a model for other documents, you can save it as a template. Creating your own template can be as simple as adding your company logo to an existing template, or you can design a completely unique template.
You can add your custom template to the template chooser, or save it as a file to share with others or to install and use on your iOS device.
You can install a custom template from an email attachment, iTunes, a WebDAV server, or other apps. If you create a custom template on your Mac, you can save it to iCloud.
Save a document as a template
Choose File > Save as Template (the File menu is at the top of your computer screen).
Click one of the options:
Add to Template Chooser: Type a name for the template, then press Return. Your template appears in the My Templates category in the template chooser.
Save As: Type a name for the template, then choose where you want to save it.
If you save it to iCloud, the next time you open Pages on your iOS device, the template appears as a downloadable file in the document manager.
If you save a template to a web server or upload it to webmail, it must have the file extension .template.zip to install it and use it in Pages on your iOS device.
Install a custom template
If you saved the custom template to your computer, to a server, or to iCloud, you can quickly install it. Templates saved to iCloud appear in the document manager and are identified as templates by a template badge.
Double-click the template file (it has the file extension .template), then click Add to Template Chooser.
Rename or delete a custom template
In the template chooser, Control-click the template name, then choose Rename or Delete.
If you’re renaming, type a new name, then press Return.
Custom templates always appear in the My Templates category in the template chooser. You can’t rearrange templates; they always appear in the order in which they were added.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Bobby_D

Can I stop the continuous saving of Pages document?

Can I stop the continuous saving of Pages (iwork) document? I am currently working on a large Pages document - a school handbook that is topping 500mb due to the photographs. On a Macbook Pro I7 with SSD drive the continuous saving of the document when I do the slightest change is driving me to distraction - I have no idea what it would be like with non-SSD! It takes around 30 seconds each time I move a single photograph. Can I stop this versioning that Pages does?
Thanks

Your problem is not linked to versioning but to AutoSave.
Autosave try to save every change when we leave the app "unoccupied" for a short time and, if we don't, it force save on a regular basis. It's this feature which is at work in what you describe.
By default, Versions apply once an hour or when you force it pressing cmd + s so it's not it which is at work.
My own tip when I want to edit a large file is to rename it from azerty.pages into azerty.template.
This way, when I start a session upon this doc, I don't work on a document which was already saved once, I work on one which was never saved so, Autosave doesn't apply.
CAUTION: this feature is killed after the first save process.
Happily, there is an answer :
Use my script Save_As (thanks to FastScripts I gave it the shortcut cmd+shift+s) or use it encapsulated in a Service by Peggy.
This script trigger File > Duplicate
then File > Save…
This way it allow us to keep consecutive files storing the contents of our work in progress but the document upon which we work remains unsaved so free of AutoSave feature.
We retrieve what we were doing under 10.6.8.
To be able to work a more comfortable way, we will have to wait the delivery of the next upgrade which, I guess, will be iCloud aware which require deep changes in the app design so that it will be able to save the documents by small blocks as was explained during the late WWDC seminars.
Now, I will give a less technical advice :
I'm quite sure that on the long run, it would be better to replace your larges picture files by smaller ones fitting the true requirements. Inserting files with a rez greater than 300 dpis in the printed size is counterproductive. As you see, I add my vote to fruhulda's one. She was also perfectly right when she urged you to crop your pictures out of Pages. This one doesn't crop the pictures, it put a mask hiding what you wan't to drop.
It's fine to build quickly a draft of a document but for the final work, it's better to prepare the pictures with a dedicated application.

Update links in file created based on the template page

Hello everyone:
a) I have problems when update links in files crated based on
a template page.
I read Dreamwaver (DW) help menu. Seems to me Dreamwaver is
smart enough to update links based on correct file structure.
I created a template file based on a sample page. Template
file saved to the template folder. Then I crated few pages based on
the template. I checked links in new files and found that link
structures are based on template folder, not based on files current
folder position.
Please give me some suggestions on how to correct this
problem. If you know some good online tutorial or documentations
please share with me.
b) Can DW template update Navigation bar links correctly
based on relative document path?
I have Navbars imported from Fireworks into DW. Files crated
based on template are not updating pop-up menu links correctly. I
manually updated every links. It is time consuming and

This means that you are entering the links manually, not
using the Property
inspector and browsing to the target file. You should do it
this way until
you understand how templates work. All links in a template
file should
(usually) be one of three kinds -
1. Document relative BASED ON THE TEMPLATE, e.g.,
<a href="../whatever....
2. Root relative, e.g.,
<a href="/whatever....
3. Absolute, e.g.,
<a href=''
http://www.example.com/whatever....
Anything else will always result in the Template folder being
placed in the
path for the link when you create a child page.
> b) Can DW template update Navigation bar links correctly
based on relative
> document path?
Yes, of course.
> I have Navbars imported from Fireworks into DW.
This could easily be one of your problems. Those menus are
definitely
broken and should never be used.

Template pages shift slight to left when uploaded

Hello,
I'm fairly new to dreamweaver and i'm having difficulty trying to get my template page to open correctly. On my index page i created editable regions and saved the page as a template. I open new template choosing the one i just created. I add text to it and save it. When i upload all the files and click on the tab to connect to my template page the template opens but it shifts sligtly to the left. What am i doing that might be causing this. Thanks, Owen

I understand now that once you select a region to be editable the rest of the areas are locked.
That's not correct. A given template page can have many editable regions on it, as well as the non-editable regions.
I'm trying to get the spry menu at the top to be editable.
Honestly, you would never want to have your menu in an editable region, without making it a Library item or a server-side include first. What is it you were hoping to accomplish by doing that?
if i go into the template i can't insert widget as it is locked.
A template file is always completely editable - there are no locked areas. It's on the child pages where you might get this message.
The home page and the second link (private lessons) seem to be working,
Add this to your CSS in the Template page -
html, :root { overflow-y:scroll; }
Now all of your pages will work.

Linking Template and non Template pages

So here is the problem I am trying to link my template pages to some pages I based off of them and saved as a different name. Now I can't get them to work I type the links the right way and everything, but when I click them they do nothing. Can anyone help?

Hi Liam, thanks for your help. Let me try to be a little clearer: I have used a Dreamweaver template to design my new site, I have changed up each page as my own with updated content. When I try to go back and link the pages that are not named the same as the original Dreamweaver template, I can not get it to work or link those pages. Basically the only pages that are working are pages linked to outside websites (ex. "search" linked to google.com, that works fine).
So what is odd to me, if I leave the page named the same as it labeled on the template it works fine, (ex. three column, when left as three column title it does work fine). However, if I take that page and rename it (ex. three column, and rename it "Contact Me" it will not work). I can see the pages labeled but they are not active or live.
I do not know if the issue is because of using a template or what I am doing wrong. I have not included {tag_pagecontent} because I did not see if listed anywhere on my template. So I do need to add this? On each page?
Thanks again for your help and any other suggestions would be great.

HT4641 I have recently upgraded to Pages 5.1. I can't open any of my previously created Pages docs because I am told they are too old and have to be saved in Pages'09 first. I don't have Pages '09. How do I open them?

I am technologically challenged senior citizen who recently upgraged to Pages 5.1 from what I think was iWorks '08. I now find that I am not able to open any of my important previously created Pages documents. I receive a pop-up that tells me that they are too old and must be saved in Pages'09 first. I no longer have the disk for iWorks 08 and don't have Pages '09 on my iMac. Any ideas how I might get these documents open?

You should have the old Pages '08 inside the iWork folder, inside your Applications folder.
Open your old files in Pages '08 > Menu > File > Export > Word
Pages 5 can then open that Word file.

Pages Document created on Macbook Air cannot be opened on Ipad Mini. I get a message that reads, "only documents saved in pages '09 may be opened." These devices are one week old and I just downloaded Pages for each.

I just got a Macbook Air running 10.8.2 and an iPad Mini. I downloaded Pages for both. I created a document in pages on the MBair and tried to save it to the iPad Mini so I could work on it while commuting and the file does not show up on the mini. I have tried to saved the file through iTunes app page and the message keeps telling me I can only transfer files saved in Pages 09. What gives? I can transfer files made in Microsoft word no problem, but files made in the same program do not work. Any help?? Very frustrating.

You are aware that Pages for Mac and Pages for iPad /iPhone/iPod are 2 different program?
Looks like you have Pages for Apple mobile devices but not for your Mac.
If that's the case

You may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked.

I use master password & if I change passwords on a site, it doesn't ask to "change" Also doesn't ask to "remember" with new usernames/passwords. Does anyone know how to fix this or add usernames & passwords to saved password page on Firefox.

Firefox (I think version 5, maybe 4) does not ask to "remember" passwords anymore nor does it ask to "change" a password when I've done that. It didn't ask when I changed my Facebook password & I have to log in each time so I removed my username & password for FB on Firefox's "saved password" page. When I've don't that before, it asks to "remember" but doesn't anymore. I use a master password.

Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.

I am using the latest Safari. When I open a saved web page, the page is replaced by a grid view of 12 sites I visited. How can I restore the original setting ?

I am using MacBook Air 13 for more than two years. I appears some setting in Safari has been changed unwittingly. Now whenever I open a web-page I have previously saved, the "saved as" page disappears and is replaced by a screen showing in grid view the last 12 pages of sites I have visited. How to restore the setting so that the web page when opened shows the page I have saved.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
