Stop Template From Overwriting Page Title

I have a site of several hundred pages that I want to apply a
template to. All the pages are already properly titled with the
Title tag that I want. However, when I apply the DreamWeaver
templates to the page, it overwrites the Title. Any advice on how
to avoid this so that the original titles aren't overwritten when a
template is applied?
Also, is there any way to apply a template to more than one
page at a time or do I have to open every file one at a time, apply
the template, save, then start that routine over again?
I am using Dreamweaver CS3.
Thanks for any assistance you can provide!

This is the sign of an improperly made template.
Do this -
Create a new page (Basic HTML).
Use FILE | Save as Template....
Look at the code in the head region of the page, particularly
the editable
region around the <title> tag, and the other editable
region in the head
called "head".
Make your template file look like that.
Always use FILE | Save as Template when you create your
templates and you
won't have this problem again.

Not really. But this is not the best way to do it anyhow. I
would always
suggest that you create a new page from the template, copy
and paste from
the existing page into the new page, and then save the new
page over the old
one.

Detatch template from all pages

I have about 300+ pages and 1 Template. I would like to
detatch the template from all pages and delete it. I will no longer
be using a template on this site.

P.S.   There seems to be something wrong with this forum software, at least for me. After I write this and hit Post, it says "There was an error, please check below        ", where it says I can't post a blank message. I cut it and paste it back and it then works.
Sorry - I hate this forum software passionately. And thankfully, I'm not responsible for it! You would have to direct these comments to Adobe's Customer service.
As an example, the metatags remain from the template, if I had them in an editable region.
The more important issue to me is:
When    I said I wanted to remove ALL tags, I meant all the tags in the    documents, including style, font, heading, etc. I would like only    paragraph tags to remain.
The objective is to take    pages that are built on a template and move them into a new template    with new styling. Unfortunately, the author has loads of style/class    tags that need to be removed. I want to start over by creating a new    template with new styles and taking the content from the original    editable regions, removing all the tags, putting it in the new   template, and then adding the new style tags.
Perhaps there is a simple way to do this?
How many pages are you talking about here? The only way to do it under the conditions you are describing would be to create your template, spawn new pages from it, copy content only from the old pages and paste it into the new pages, and then save the new page with the old page's name.

[SOLVED] How Can I Stop DHCPCD from Overwriting my /etc/resolv.conf...

Hey guys,
For some unknown reason /etc/dhcpcd.conf continually overwrites my /etc/resolv.conf file, eventhough I set the "nohook resolv.conf" hook in /etc/dhcpcd.conf.
This is screwing up my DNS and intermittently creating connection problems. Any of you guys know why the hook is not taking effect or how I can stop dhcpcd from overwritting this file?
Thanks

I don't think that information will help w201...
I changed my DNS to the Google one (8.8.8.8 or something). That's in "resolv.conf", isn't it? I remember editing some OTHER configuration file, which is then read to create the "resolve.conf" file. There it is, in that link to the wiki, under "Use resolv.conf.head". Does that help you do what you want to do?
There's three techniques at the wiki link, the nohook one, the resolv.conf.head one and the write-protection attribute.

Template from shtml page

When I create a template from an existing page (shtml) and save it to the templates folder, it asks me to update links, I say OK. Now when I go to create a new page from the template (File>New>from template), I don't get the header, footer, or menu. These are separate files in an "includes" directory. How do I get the entire template to show. I undersatnd about setting editable regions and I've done a bit of reading and searching, but can't find out why I don't get the entire file (header, footer, menu) with my template. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

John,
I don't have time to really get into the code, but it does appear by navigating directly to the includes, they are fine - so that's not a problem.
However, what I don't see in the dwt file is any links to the stylesheets or to the javascript file or any of the onbody load events.... all the things that trigger the menu for example.
The template should include all the elements in the code from the rhinoplasty page - including the css and js links, but just mark out the areas that are going to be editable and where the includes will be located...
Below I paste a section of a page I use as a template, that uses a dropdown menu and includes... as you can see all the links to the css file, the javascript files and any behaviours associated with the page are all in the head of the document. I've highlighted the editable and non-editable region as well as the includes, so you can see where they are - so you can see from my example compared to yours, you page is missing a lot of necessary code to make the page work :-)
See if that helps and if not post back, I'm sure someone will pop in and hopefully offer any further help, while I take a break for the night

Opening downloaded templates from the Pages start menu

can you do that? i downloaded a template for avery address labels and just have it sitting on my desktop right now. is there any way i can integrate it into my pages application thing so when i click to open the program, that template is one of the option i have to choose from?

Pages stores documents you created & saved as templates in HD > Users > [your account] > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. You can also move any downloaded templates into this folder to be available in the Pages template chooser. If you haven't saved any templates you've made, this folder path won't exist. The easiest & safest way to create it is to save a template. If you create it yourself, there is always the chance you may misname one or more. I have put an alias of this My Templates folder in a couple of places - in a folder of frequently accessed folders & files in my Dock and in the toolbar of Finder windows. You could also put it in the left panel of a Finder window. I find this is a much easier way for me to access my templates rather than using the Pages template chooser.

How do you remove a template from a page?

I want to remove a template from some of my pages and can't
figure out how to??

The much better thing to do is to modify the template to
accommodate the
different layouts - that way, everything is still under
template control,
and you don't have to remember to also change things in those
pages you have
detached.

How can I stop Lion from overwriting my apache conf files

I am at the point of abandoning OS X forever and returning to loading NetBSD on macs. I have never been so angry at a piece of Apple software.
On reboot, the server completely wiped out my apache configuration and rebuilt it. Thankfully I had backups.
How I can prevent Lion from interfering with my apache setup? I will NEVER use that crappy admin tool again. Webmin is FAR superior to it if I need a GUI tool. I can live in the shell very happily. I don't want to have to install a new webserver from source if I can avoid it. I just want to stop Lion from destroying my conf files.
How do I wrest control from this monster?

All we did was not modify httpd.conf other than adding an include at the end. If you put your content in other files, it doesn't seem to mess with them.

How do I stop Safari from refreshing pages on my iPad?

This is really annoying. I am not sure if it is related to time or to memory. (it's not auto-refresh set by the website). I often load up several web pages in tabs that I would like to read on the train to work. Unfortunately when I open the tabs, they refresh eating into my data plan. If I switch off data, then the pages still try to refresh and I can't see them at all.
surely there must be an iPad Safari option to stop pages from automatically re-loading?

Did you click on the export icon -- box with an arrow above it?
Click on add to reading list -- old fashion glasses icon?

Converting Template from European Page Size

I am new to FrameMaker and to the company I now work for, which is a U.S. site from a European based company. The FrameMaker templates were established using a page size of A4 (apparently standard size in Europe). My problem is that when I try to print files on 11.5 X 8 paper, I receive errors and can't get the files to print. Could someone please provide some tips as to how I can remedy this issue?

If all you want to do is print the files, then make a PDF of the Frame files using Adobe PDF as the printer and setting the paper size to A4. Then print the PDF to the physical printer, setting the paper size to letter and select scale to paper size in Acrobat print dialog.
Most likely, eventually you will want to reformat the files for letter size paper. To do this, you will need to edit the master pages in one of the files, changing the page size and margins, moving headers and footers where necessary. Then copy the master pages into all the files of the book. Then update the book.

Stop updates from overwriting .service files?

I've looked for some time and can't seem to find the answer. Every time lirc is updated with pacman it overwrites my custom lirc.service file, the only search result i've found mentions using NoUpgrade with pacman but that was from 2010 and doesn't seem to be in the pacman man file any longer?

Thank you! That's what I needed to get it to accept my conf tweak for cronie - it wouldn't accept a second ExecStart line and it wasn't clear how to override it. I remembered something vaguely but I couldn't find anything easily when I searched. (Is there documentation on this?)
Also, how would you use this to adapt a particular instance of a template? I actually tried this and I have now managed to mess up the getty on tty even though I thought I'd backed out all my changes. So I'm a bit wary.
I tried creating
# [email protected]/TTYVTDisallocate-BLOCK.conf
[Service]
TTYVTDisallocate=no
but it did not work quite as expected. Trying to change it back, I removed this directory etc. but tty1 is still allocated, I think (I can still log in there) and I have no idea why.
I'm actually really not clear how the getty service affects only tty1 anyway except that it seems that tty2-6 are created with generators rather than with this service so it effectively only applies to tty1.

How can I name files separate from the page titles on the menu options?

Ok, this is so much of a pain. I use a unix based web-server so the content is very case sensitive, and having spaces in the file names is just unmanageable. So.. how can I have pretty menu titles but have real world filenames?
Presently I have to generate the pages, drop to vi and edit every frickin file to change the spaces to '_' characters and stuff. Depending on how many pages I have takes quite a long time.
Anyone figured out a way to get around the stupid apple file naming convention ??
/bk

Thanks, I was afraid that was the case. So to have normal filenames that work cross platform I've got to manually tweak the pages once they are done. I suppose I was just hoping there was some 'expert' edit mode where I could have names for the files, vs names for the pretty menu items. Oh well, its not that bad I suppose it takes me say a day to manually code up a multi page site by hand, so if I can blow out a muliti page iWeb site in under an hour and then take another hour to tweak the code its still a win.
Thanks again!!

How do I stop iTunes from overwriting existing songs?

I am attempting to import selections from multiple CDs that all have the same volume and artist name. When I import another selection from a different disc iTunes automatically begins to overwrite the existing track. I've asked the creator of the discs for help and they gave me an explanation of Gracenotes, etc. and said to use the help menu to change the names. I have changed the name, artist and album of the existing track using Get Info, but iTunes still overwrites. I run Win 7 and iTunes 10.6.1.7.
How can I fix this?

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.

Stop cells from overwriting without warning ?

Hello all ! and Merry Christmas !
I have noticed - as a new user to numbers - that when I move contents of a new cell to a new position, numbers will overwrite contents of the new cell without any warning. Microsoft Excel used to prompt before overwriting contents of cells. Is it possible to get this prompt happening in Numbers ?
It is often quite easy to inadvertantly move a cell to the wrong location . . and without this warning prompt, you can find that you have overwritten data.
Any help - most welcome . . thanks.

Hi Barry,
Thanks for taking the time to answer.
If that is the case, I find it an unbelievable ommission ! Wow - that's unreal !
I'm always trying to sing the parises of Apple versus Microsoft
. . but on this occasion Microsoft wins hands down !
Real shame - it makes the program unuseable for me . .
I have very large tables od data and I have to shify data about from cell to cell . .
However hard you try - you can occasionally mis-place a cell when you re-position it :
In Microsoft Excel - the program notifies you in case of error ( I don't even like excel to be honest )
But, if this is the case . . on the Apple - it's a case of "Adios Data !'
If an Apple Software writers are reading - can we have this feature too please ?
Thanks again Barry . .

How can I stop iCloud from overwriting my bookmarks recovered by a restore from computer?

I am moving to a new iPad. I made the mistake of deleting my bookmarks on the old iPad before resetting it to factory settings. As a result I have somehow got no bookmarks in iCloud. When I do a full restore from computer I get my bookmarks back but only until I connect to the internet when iCloud immediately overwrites the recovered bookmarks with no bookmarks.
I've tried pretty much everything I can think of including deleting everything I see in iCloud Control Panel/Manage Storage. However these (non) bookmarks are obviously kept somewhere else that I can't find.
I need to replace the iCloud bookmarks with the ones I recover from the computer restore. How do I do that?
Thanks.

Touch Copy appears to be now named iPhone Backup Extractor (although it works for iPads as well). It appears to deal only with any backups you may have on the computer it's installed on, not with the device itself. So if you have no computer backup where the lost info can be found then this software is no use.
Happily, I do have a very recent (2 days ago) computer backup, albeit encrypted. It seems to be necessary to buy the software to get it to do what you want. I succeeded in extracting the bookmarks as a bookmarks.db file from my encrypted computer backup of the iPad.
Then it's necessary to use more software, SQLite, to extract the information from the bookmarks.db file. This software is free but seriously geeky, not at all user friendly. I have managed to obtain a .csv file from the bookmarks.db file which is at least readable, but not able to be imported into Firefox which appears to accept only .html files for importing bookmarks.
Likewise, Safari doesn't appear to accept for import either .db (the iPad file type ironically) or .csv and neither IE nor Chrome won't accept other than .html etc files.
SQLite would seem to be off the mark in not offering .html and its cousins as export formats. And given .db is in fact useless without SQLite and SQLite is both difficult to use and in any event doesn't solve the problem, it would seem obvious IPhone Backup Extractor needs to look at providing conversion of .db files to .html files. But the proper solution is for Apple to enable the overriding of iCloud information with restored from backup information.
What I have now is a .db file of my precious bookmarks which appears to be unusable with any Apple product to override the wretched dominance of iCloud. Absurd that iCloud actually prevents one from restoring an iPad to an earlier time. What's the point of restore if iCloud is going to subvert it each time?
Anyone who has any thoughts towards a solution would be most welcome!
