Template based files in CS3 not updating

Question

Hi! I'm having problems working with Templates in Dreamweaver
CS3. Basic operations like creating new template, defining regions,
etc, works normally except for Updating Files based on the template
action. It will display the Update Files status window but it won't
update the pages and it'll just stuck. Opening each file and doing
a "Update Current Page" works though. Your ideas? Thanks!

Answer 1

Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes
not propagating
from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
the site other
than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the template (which
will not
propagate)
5. Assume that template changes can be uploaded to the server
without also
uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between template
and child page
is broken
7, Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the
template,
adding page specific content, and resaving the template with
an *.html
extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if
this is the case
by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything
like <!--
TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done)
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced >
Recreate Site
Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing
them. Have you
done any of those?
