Template editing trouble

Hey flash gurus. I'm in need of some assistance.
I have a template, and I need to change "support" to "assurance" but keep the same look and feel as the rest of the menu items. Here is a link to the .fla (both CS3 and 8), the font, and a readme.txt which just re-explains my dilema.

We can discuss payment if you'd like, I'm sure you guys are busy. I certainly don't mind paying for help!
Thanks,
Jesse

When you look in code view, do you see both "<!--
Template" and "<!--
Instance" markup? If not, then you'll have to show us the
code on the page,
please.

How to insert a HYPERLINK in a template Editable Field?

Question: How to insert a HYPERLINK in a template Editable Field?
Hi
Does anyone know how to insert a HYPERLINK in a template Editable Field?
I want the link to always display the word "Cities".
But the URL will change with each child page.
Here's what I've got so far . . .
Cities
Thanks so much!

NOTE: This is to go into the TEMPLATE
Your best bet is to keep the hyperlink OUT of the editable Field and to make the HREF attribute of the link editable.
This would go in the head of your document:

This would go where you want the link to appear:
<a href="@@(href)@@">cities</a>
THE BETTER WAY: You can either paste these quotes into the appropriate places in your template or you can insert:
<a href="#">cities</a>
and click inside the opening <a> tag.
Then go to Modify > Templates > Make Attribute Editable
In the dialog box "Editable Tag Attributes" you should now see "Choose which attributes of this A tag should be editable."
If HREF is not showing in the drop-down, do Add and put it there.
Check the box to Make this attribute editable.
Give a name for this editable attribute (if you have more than one on a page, you will want it to be understandable, like "cities" for your cities links).
Make sure it is of Type URL
If you want a default URL in place, put one in the Default field.
Then push OK.
To use it, on each page, do Modify > Template Properties... choose the property to edit, and put the new URL in the entry field.
Press OK.

Will buzzword allow to upload word template, edit and convert to PDF.

Hi,
we have a module in our project where we need to Upload a word template - Edit the template - and save the changes - and attach exisitng uploaded files (for e.g. Word, excel and pdf file) and convert the word template along with the attached file into single PDF.
So is this possible?
Can any one help me in this?
Is there any free download?

Hello,
Buzzword is an online word processor that will absolutely allow you to upload a word .doc, edit it in Buzzword format, then export as a PDF. The one part that you can't do with Acrobat.com is to merge files - so you'd either need to merge the word .docs first and then upload, or use Adobe Acrobat desktop software if you need to merge PDF files. There is nothing to download as this is an online tool. Basic accounts are free - you can sign up at www.acrobat.com.
Please let me know if you have additional questions or concerns.
Kind Regards,
Michelle

Fluid grid template - editable region - resize not possible

Hi,
After quitting DW the first resizing problem was gone.
Now I saved the page as a template and inserted an editable region.
Then it wasn't possible anymore to recize the divs.
The lines are know yellow dotted.
Do I have to make editable regions in a different way?
See: http://www.ifacilityservices.nl/index.html
Thanks again.
Carla

Hi Nancy,
Thanks voor your reply!
Is it now not possible anymore?
I deleted the editable regions, but it stays with the yellow lines.

Creating template from template / editable regions

Hello all,
I'm hoping you can help me.
I am creating an online clothing shop website and am having trouble with creating category pages.
I have created the template with all headers, logos, footer, a spry menu etc.
I have then from the template (via new - Page from template etc) pages for mens / womens / shoes
This part is all fine.
However each of these pages ie. the 'mens' will have pages per category created from it for mens shirts, mens top etc.
For example I need a list of each category on the mens page that I dont want to appear on any other pages, just all of the mens category pages (tops, shorts etc) and this will also be done for the womens pages.
I saved the 'mens' page as a template but due to the section that the category list being in an 'editable region' when I have created new pages from the 'mens' template the changes wont filter through to each category page.
How can I insert a category list into the 'mens' template that will reflect the changes I make in the category pages? As I don't want to manually update each individual category page.
I hope this makes sense and someone can help me out
Thanks

What is your skill level with HTML and CSS?
I saved the 'mens' page as a template but due to the section that the category list being in an 'editable region' when I have created new pages from the 'mens' template the changes wont filter through to each category page.
This is not a good start. You do not want to begin using nested templates for anything.
One simple way (although not the optimal way) to do what you want to do is to make the place on the page where you want the lists to appear into an editable region in the template. Then create a variety of Library items (in DW) each of which contains only the list for each of your categories. On the appropriate child pages, insert the associated list into the editable region. So, for example, the men's page will have the men's list, etc.
A Library item is like a mini-template in that changes made to any given Library item are automatically propagated to all instances where that Library item is being used.
Is that what you are after?

Dreamweaver template / having trouble seeing the previews

I am designing a website, using Dreamweaver for the first
time, and I would like to ask your advice.
Do you know how to apply a dreamweaver template to other html
pages. I have having trouble seeing the previews in the local
browser. For examples, when I preview an html page, that has the
template included, I see the page OK. But when I click to go to
another page with the sample template, the new page shows up, but
without the template design included.

Your drive is probably toast. Compare your SmartData stats with mine:
Retracts: 844
*Reallocs: 12*
*Pending Sectors: 0*
PowerOn Hours: 2037
Starts/Stops: 830
Temp: Current 29c
Temp: Min 10c
Temp: Max 50C
I've only 12 remapped sectors and none pending. From the Wikipedia S.M.A.R.T. article:
*Reallocated Sectors Count*
Count of reallocated sectors. When the hard drive finds a read/write/verification error, it marks this sector as "reallocated" and transfers data to a special reserved area (spare area). This process is also known as remapping, and "reallocated" sectors are called remaps. This is why, on modern hard disks, "bad blocks" cannot be found while testing the surface – all bad blocks are hidden in reallocated sectors. However, as the number of reallocated sectors increases, the read/write speed tends to decrease. The raw value normally represents a count of the number of bad sectors that have been found and remapped. Thus, the higher the attribute value, the more sectors the drive has had to reallocate.
*Pending sector count*
Number of "unstable" sectors (waiting to be remapped, because of read errors). If an unstable sector is subsequently written or read successfully, this value is decreased and the sector is not remapped. Read errors on a sector will not remap the sector (since it might be readable later); instead, the drive firmware remembers that the sector needs to be remapped, and remaps it the next time it's written.
I'm sure you'll find the counts go up if you try to do a surface scanning disk check. Sorry it's not better news but at least you know where the problem lies. Assuming your iPod is out of warranty it's probably time to get your iPod refurbished with a new drive or to buy a new iPod.

Invalid CS3 template editing error

Making edits in an editable region ONLY on various template
pages and I have started getting the "You have made changes .... do
you want to keep them" etc. warning message. Nothing I have done to
warrant it, it's getting annoying, and would like to know what
either I am doing or DW is doing so I can make them stop. Any ideas
appreciated.

There'll be an error in the code... somewhere. Can you paste
the code into a

had errors and
once I'd fixed them the annoying message went away (o:

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....

How to make link in a template editable in a page?

I am new to Dreamweaver. I'm trying to create a link in a
template where the URL is editable in all pages derived from that
template. I tried using
Modify->Templates->Make Attribute Editable..., but the
link still cannot be edited in any of the pages. Can someone help
me with this?
Thanks,
PeterM

Sorry, that's just the way editable attributes work.

For example, I have a

Just put the link inside an editable region. The link will
appear in
new pages made from the template, but you can edit or delete
the link
in those child pages.

Template editable regions

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum so I hope my post is in the right
place, if not I apologize..
Ok, my problem is the following:
I have recently upgraded my page to use CSS, templates and
all that nice web design stuff which I was not aware of before (I
had taken a big break from web page design, and the last time I had
created pages when I was younger was the old school
text-editor-and-html way). Now, the problem is that, even though I
created a basic template to use in my page, the menu on the left of
the page was left as an editable region. Now, and after reading
some articles on SSI, I decided that that was wrong of me, so now I
want to change that part of the template to read the menu code from
a file using SSI (for easier updating in case I want to
add/subtract menu items) but to my big disappointment, I realized
that editable regions in templates are not updated. Does this mean
that I have to create a new template where the menu is a
non-editable region and re-apply it to each single page, or is
there a way around it?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I only completed
updating my page a few days ago and I really don't want to have to
go through the process of tranfering every single page to a new
template again! :)
Thank you in advance
P.S. the page I am referring to is www.thejazzchameleon.com
in case having a look will help you, the menu I want to make SSI is
the one on the left.

> old school text-editor-and-html way
News flash - it's no different now except that CSS has
entered the picture.
> the menu on the left of the page was left as an editable
region.
Oops.
> or is there a way around it?
Replace the entire editable region in the Template with the
server-side
include. Then you'll be golden!

I cannot select or edit content within template editable region in DW CS5

The only way I can edit the content is in code view. A real pain. Anyone else have this happening? I have re-checked and re-applied template to page in question and doesn't help. I cannot directly select an image or text in design view. I get the "no can do" icon that appears over template items that are locked. I have strolled through the preferences and don't see anything regarding this. Since upgrading from CS3 to Dreamweaver CS5 mac, I have had nothing but problems. This app is half baked at best.

Wasn't a problem in prior versions of DW.
Would have been in CS4, but not in earlier ones. In those versions, the use of overflow:hidden as a way of setting a new block formatting context to clear internal floats was not supported even though it was a perfectly valid method. You may find that you need to return the overflow:hidden to your styles to properly manage floats within that container. In that case, a double click is all that's needed to temporarily display the entire content of the element.

Create a Template Editable Region Link with static "label"?

Hello.
Does anybody know how to create a simple, basic link on my template (just the word "LINK" will do) . . . . and put an Editable Field *behind* the "LINK" . . . so I can change the link destination link on each child page?
So, in the particular child page, the visitor clicks on "LINK" . . . then goes to a specific destination URL just for that child page?
Thanks.

And, lastly, here is the exact code causing that error message:
<a href="http://annapolis-resume.com/Links.html" class="style7">Links</a>
Thank you so much for your help with my beginner question!
Jim
That's pretty much the code I suppied originally and then removed thinking you'd prefer blus' method, which isn't all that hard to do by the way.
The error message is saying that the template markup is sitting insite a block element, something like a paragraph, which is a block element, for example.
<a href="http://annapolis-resume.com/Links.html" class="style7">Links</a></p>
If so, move the template markup outside of the <p> attribute like so:
<p><a href="http://annapolis-resume.com/Links.html" class="style7">Links</a></p>
This will make the paragraph editable.
If that's not the problem, and you don't have the link inside a paragraph, then post a bit of code that surrounds that template markup that you have. Better yet, if you can post a link to the page maybe even better (if you can upload it to a server).

Dreamweaver Template Editable Region Old Problem

Hello,
Please, I need urgent help regarding the Adobe Dreamweaver
CS3 program for Mac OS X. It is, unfortunately, driving me crazy,
because I have now a problem that is not letting me edit any
editable region in the child pages I create and apply the template
to that page. I have tried to restart the computer, restart
Dreamweaver and even reinstalled Dreamweaver and made my Template
from scratch and nothing worked. The problem keeps there and
doesn't let me edit any editable region.
Here is what happens: I have created a Editable Region called
"Page Content". Also, another 2 editable regions called "Section
Navigation" and "Sub Navigation". These editable regions are just
there to make my job easier. In the Page Content part, I put the
content I want to add to that page, like text and a heading. For
the Navigations, I simply change the class of one list item to
"current", so that my CSS rule can be applied to that list item and
change the font, so that the users can tell in what page they are
now, you get it?
So, what happens? Everytime I try to make changes to the
editable region Dreamweaver prompts this message:
"You have made changes in the code in a region that is not
marked as an Editable Region... You will lose all of your changes
in the next update of your template. Do you want to retain all of
the changes?"
But IT IS A EDITABLE Region, so that is why I dont get it.
And it gets even worse, because after I lose all of my changes and
hours of work are wasted.
I hope you guys, experts in Dreamweaver can make my life a
lot easier by helping me solve this issue,
Please help.
Best regards,
Thank you for reading this and for the help in advance,
GB

And, by the way, such messages are usually triggered by
improper code usages
on the page - that's why we need to see your code.

Template Editable background-image

Using Dreamweaver templates. I would like to be able to
customize a background image in a DIV ID on individual pages. Can
someone offer some sample code? Thanks.
Dave

Just use CSS to do this. If it's in an external file, the
whole file will
be editable. Do you understand what I am saying?
