Template not linking to files in folders

Hi,
I have a template that is for about 5 folders. Each folder
has 3 html files in it. All the files in these folders are
identical.
The template has links set to go directly to those identical
pages in each folder.
For example:
Template
- home
- about
- contact
Folder
- home.html
- about.html
- contact.html
The problem, is that when I save and post, Dreamweaver is
adding /Templates/ into the link:
/Templates/home.html
How can I set the link, so that it stays in the same
directory/folder? I have tried ../ but this will take it to the
root directory.
Any help is appreciated!
Thanks.

Which DW? In versions prior to DW8, you would have to make
your links like
this -
<a href="@@('whatever.html')@@"...
and DW will leave those links alone. The downside is that by
leaving them
alone, they will not be managed, so you'll have to do that
yourself.
In DW8, just set your Site Definition > Templates to NOT
update relative
links. Make sure you understand how this will affect other
relative links
that you may *want* DW to manage....

My mouse will not open any files or folders

My mouse will not open any files or folders. I've had to do a hard reboot but nothing changes. The mouse will scroll across the screen but it will not left or right click on anything on my desktop

Hmmm, does the right button also not work?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

I can not move my files into folders or trash

I can not move my files into folders or trash,I continually have a message that says "working " on moving to a folder or trash,but it never gets done.
I used to be able to drop and drag any files into any folders or into the trash.Please help.
Thanks,

Please carefully read and use this article to help troubleshoot your Trash problem:

Browsing for file in icon mode does not show all files and folders.

When in Illustrator and I select open, the preview pane does not arrange the files to fit the window size. This does not happen in list mode but in icon mode. I can't see all the files and folders because they are outside of the window and I can't scroll to the right to see them.

Yosemite, right?
Don't use anything other than list view. It's all buggy.

Template not updating online files

I use one template for 62 files which I have already
uploaded. I made a change to the template which updated my files
offline but do I have to re-upload all these files again? When I
just upload the template, none of the other files online
automatically updated. This is my first use of templates and I
assumed that if you modify the template then the change will carry
over to each associated file that already resides on the server
which would be great. What should I do to keep from having to
re-upload each file after I make a change to the template?
Thanks, Steve

>>do I have to re-upload all these files again?
Yup. That's hw Templates work.
>>What should I do to keep from having to re-upload

>>change to
>> the template?
Nothing you can do, again it's just how Templates work. You
can however read
about server side includes (ssi) in DW Help and other places
(Google) and
use them to replace some pieces of your Template. For example
put your menu
(navigation) in an Include file. Change just that file when
you need to
modify your menu. Then upload just that Include file and it
will be (what
else?) *included* in all your pages.

Templates Not Updating .ASPX Files in Dreamweaver CC

I have website based on .ASPX pages. I have successfully used templates (.DWTs) to update .ASPX pages page in Dreamweaver versions through CS6. I installed CC and updating the templates no longer seems to update .ASPX pages. It seems I have to open each .ASPX page in the site and choose Modify > Template > Update Current Page and then save the page. Is there a better way to update the pages in the .ASPX website?
I originally posted this in the "Develop server-side applications in Dreamweaver" form, but it was suggested that this would be a better place to post it.

I decided, after the New Year, to migrate my clients (I support 75 websites) from Microsoft Expression Web to Dreamweaver. I bought the latest version (CC) and started my first migration of an Expression DWT to Dreamweaver. I should not have picked a site with 125 pages. I cannot believe that when I change a DWT the changes are not cascaded to the 125 linked ASPX pages. With Microsoft dropping Expression support, where in the world are we supposed to turn for a really good, modern, design platform. I'm calling Adobe to terminate my subscription as this simply will not work. I downloaded the installed the Extension Manager, installed and enabled the .ZXP files for ASP support and it still doesn't work. Really, seriously, disappointed. I was really looking forward to learning this new platform, but I'll have to stay with Microsoft Expression for now...

Dreamweaver 8 templates not displaying flash files

Dear friends:
I have developed an interactive banner with animation and
links using Flash 8. I imbeded the banner into a Dreamweaver 8.0.2
document and published it to test the banner. Everything worked
just fine. I then saved that document as a template and created my
editable regions. When I ran the preview, everything was still
working well, I then created a new HTML documant using that
template and published it. I found that the HTML page elements
posted just fine but my Flash banner would not load. The browser
kept trying to load the file and stated, "one item remaining" in
the status bar indefinately. I have never run into this problem in
the past and the only thing that that I have changed is adding the
new active control plugin for Flash and updating Dreamweaver to
8.0.2. Any assistance you could lend would be greatly appreciated,
Kindest Regards,
Mr. Grey

What you will have to do is to delete and then remake this
inserted Flash
element, and make sure you use a ROOT RELATIVE link to the
Flash, rather
than a document relative one. That would make your code look
like this -
,'width','770','height','284','src','/assets/hfcchome','quality',
and it will then work.

Dreamweaver templates not updating *.php file

Hello everyone,
I have been given an exisiting website to update that uses
Dreamweaver templates.
I have made the changes successfully within the content.dwt
file, saved it, and then uploaded both the new content.dwt file and
the related *.htm pages that were linked to it.
After going to the website to double check the new pages I
found a *.php file that uses the same template, content.dwt, but it
never asked to update that particular file.
So, I opened the *.php file in Dreamweaver and tried to apply
changes from the content.dwt file to it using: Templates - Update
current page, but no such luck. Since there is no code at the start
of this file like the other *.htm files how do I "connect" it with
the newly updated template. I tried making a small change on the
content.dwt file so see what files would come up in the "do you
wish to update..." list but for some reason the *.php file is not
there.
Perhaps the answer is fairly obvious to someone who has
worked with Templates a lot but since I have just started working
with templates I still have a large knowledge gap in this area.
Any help would be appreciated.
Many thanks
Mr Zedd

Can you post a link to the PHP page, please? This will allow
me to see the
HTML markup on it....

Thumbnails not linked to Files anymore

Last night I was organizing my computer, deleting old documents and such. Now, as soon as I opened iPhoto it asked me to select a Library, so I found the iPhoto library icon (I had accidentally moved it into a sub folder within my pictures folder) opened the folder...Whew! What a relief, all of my photos are in iPhoto now...or so I thought. If I look at "Photos" every thumbnail is there, if I look at "Events" they are blank until you open an event then all the thumbnails are there! I used spotlight to find the actual files in my computer, and they are located in "leanna>Pictures>iPhoto Library>Data>2012>NameofEvent>filename". I must have moved the files somehow so that now the path that iPhoto is using to find them is wrong...
To summarize, I have the thumbnails and the files but they are no longer linked together. Is there anyway to relink them or should I just wipe out iPhoto and reimport? Thanks in advance for your help!

Sorry but you're not very clear to me.
Neither the thumbnails, events nor photos are missing.
Seems to directly contradict
The Events are there, but blank no thumbnails or photos showing.
If you think you've deleted something then the quick and simple solution is to restore from your back up.

Starter Templates Not Creating CSS Files

I'm using the About Page starter template. It asks me to save the About Page.css file, which I do, and then it asks me to name the new page, which I do, then it asks me to copy the dependent files, including the About Page.css file, which I do. The next box that pops up tells me that there is no About Page.css file and when the template opens it is only partially styled. I tried renaming the file and/or saving it somewhere else but nothing works. I tried the blog template and get the same result with the blog css file missing.
Why is this happening and how can I fix it?
Kim

Thanks for your help but it's really not worth the effort.
I have a county government website running fine with the current set up. Local files on my file server and remote files on the web server. It's been working great for years.
I wanted to try out the new starter templates just to see how they operate. They simply refuse to create that one css file. All the other dependent files are created and stored where I indicate. Only the one file is missing on each template. It's not the end of the world. I just thought I was overlooking something.
Thanks again.

Can not re-name files or folders

I just installed security update 2009-002, now Finder will not allow me to change a file name or folder name. I also can not "Get info" when an item is selected. All of these things are met by my Mac going blank except for the wallpaper and then redisplaying my desktop with all the usual icons. It also sometimes opens a new folder view. I can rename a file remotely using a windows computer on the network. Any ideas on how to fix this? Having to rename things remotely will get old very fast.
Before the security update I did not have this problem.

Hi there,
Most likely it's Stuffit AVR, though a few others have been implicated see if System Preferences has a Stuffit Pref Pane. click stop...

PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot and not in Safe Mode, then it is likely some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Also see what is in System Preferences>Other Row.

ITunes does not see music files in folders in external drive after crash

I put over 3000 music files on an external drive. It was a laborious project to organize them so iTunes would recognize them and organize them.
Unhappily, my laptop crashed this morning and I had to restore the whole hard drive to a backup of 3 weeks ago. Unfortunately this was before I did all this work.
Now iTunes only "sees" 1400 of the songs, yet when I examine the files usinig Windows explorer, they are all there.
How can I get iTunes to again "see" all the music files.
they are organized in a directory called iTunes, and all the subdirectories containing the mp3's are artist's names.
Many thanks!

Check the security permissions on the drive. See Repair security permissions for iTunes for Windows.
Enable the menu bar if needed with CTRL+B.
Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced check that the media folder is set as you wish it to be, and also that the options for Keep... & Copy... are what you want. Uncheck copy if your media folder is elsewhere and you don't want to create copies when importing.
Use File > Add Folder to Library and select the folder that has you missing content. It should be added to the library.

Any news about Mountain Lion not closing open files / folders on smb server shares?

Hey Apple, anyone listening?
Are there any new about this issue, where Mac clients cannot move/edit/rename each others files and folders on a smb server share? We are a graphics work group in an otherwise Windows-centered enterprise. We have mac clients with OS X 10.5.8, 10.6.8, and recently 10.8.5. None of the older clients can work with files or folders created by the new machine, meaning that InDesign files will open read only, files and folders cannot be moved or renamed. This is absolutely critical in a flexible work environment, where any graphics designer must be able to jump into any other project on short notice.
As mentioned in other threads around the web, this seems to be a problem not with file permissions but with the finder not releasing/closing files and folders correctly when not actually in use. (a known issue is the fact, that i.e. Acrobat pdf must not be viewed in column views preview, if anyone else wants to overwrite that file, but this issue here goes much further). We urgently need a fix for that!
I'm really desparate about this topic, since the IT-department is already reluctant to offer mac support and to look into these problems; if there is no solution to this, we will be switched to windows workstations by the end of the year ... Apple, do you want that? We surely don't!
A frustrated user

Hi,
thanks for your answer. Does that mean, that there is a solution to this on the server side? Is this ACL stuff a matter of setting up the server correctly, rather than a problem with mountain lion's networking?
If i could be sure about this, I would approach our IT department... (the are just waiting for some Mac User pestering them ) ...

After installing OS X Yosemite my USB drive is not working as it was. It does not show any files in USB drive.

After I installed the latest OS X Yosemite my USB drive is not loading any files or folders which is located in it. Sometime it just show a blank window and sometime it shows folders and files but not clickable.

I have same problem but didn't find solution… If I put USB drive no files shown on finder… But If I use ForkLift files are showing but only in Forklift…
Need some clue how to fix it...

Snow Leopard cannot read Files or Folders with Accents written by Windows 7

I upgraded to snow leopard on launch date in the process of ripping all my music to ALAC in OSX.
I brought it over to windows to encode it in the batch encoder in DV poweramp using Windows 7 RC1.
When I tried to copy the files back to OSX it could not read any files or folders with an accent in their name if they were written by windows. It thought the folders were aliases and kept trying to figure out what was wrong and mp3s it just continually tried to load.
It cannot read them on both FAT32 and NTFS partitions however plugging the FAT32 drive in a Vista computer it was perfectly able to read the files. Any ideas why this might be? I may try writing a file with an accent in the name via Vista later.

Whats odd, accents aren't giving me a problem but a little square unicode character is.
http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/25a0/index.htm
That is sorta what it looks like, maybe a bit smaller, windows can't open folders with that in it.
Mac chokes on your a accents e and all other varieties.
