Template not updating pages on save

I created a template, then created pages based on that template. I make a change to the template, save, it says it will update my 10 pages, then the log shows that 0 pages were updated. I check the pages, they didn't update. What's the problem? Why are my pages not updated?
Thanks,
KoffeeKat

Template not updating pages upon save

I'm having an issue with DW CC where I make changes to a template and save it but it doesn't update any pages. What is even stranger is if I open the pages and I save the template it will update the opened pages but not any closed ones. Anybody else run into this problem?

I filled out the form that somebody linked to aboe and I actually got a response from Adobe recognizing this as a BUG. Now if they would just fix it. Response from Adobe is below.
Hi Patrick,
Thanks for writing to us with your concern.
We would like to let you know that we are working on this so that Dreamweaver CC users can “Open” and/or “Save” ASP/CFM files.
We have already logged an internal bug # 3609524 for the same. We solicit your patience in this regard.
Please check this help document for opening Cold Fusion documents in Dreamweaver CC: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/open-coldfusion-dreamweaver-cc.html

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer
First i install CS6 on the new computer
copy the projects
import the websites
Now, when i change any template the pages do not update any more. New pages working correct. Also manuell updating works.
Any Idea?
Where are the info about the join template and the pages. Seems on the old computer - but where?
Thx

hm?
now I made a new page from the template on the new machine - and find one difference:
New Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>....
Old Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>...
The slash / after template=" is not there on the new machine. If i remove the slash on the copied pages and restart dreamweaver then it works. A lot of work, but i can solve my problem this way.
Maybe there is some checkbox for path handling...?

Templates not updating pages at all

I have a similar problem to several other posters. I have one
template that is attached to about a dozen pages. When I make a
change to the template, and then save it, not dialog comes up
asking if I want to update the dependent pages, and the changes are
not reflected in the page, it just saves the document.
If I open one of the dependent pages, and do
Modify>Template>Apply template to page, the changes do show
up.
I have other sites on this computer where the Template
function works correctly, so it is not a bug or problem with my
Dreamweaver, just this particular template or site. I am using
Dreamweaver 8.0.2 on a Mac Book Pro (the newer Intel one).
You can see the template here:
http://salidarec.com/Templates/Salida-Rec-Main.dwt
and an example of a dependent page here:
http://salidarec.com/
As I look at the code, it seems like it makes sense, I just
am at a loss for what to do.
Here is what I have done, all to no avail:
Recreated the site cache
Manually deleted the site cache files and then recreated them
Made some new test pages using New page from Template dialog
I am aware of the common template pitfalls, and have not done
any of these things.
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
Any suggestions are appreciated.

Export the site definition. Remove the site definition.
Import the site
definition. Better?

Dreamweaver Template not updating pages error code 2?

Hi All
I wonder if someone can help me - I have a site that i made with Dreamweaver. I then got a new computer (windows 7) and updated my dreamweaver from cs4 to cs5. I have just tried to update my pages and it doesnt seems to be working.
Not sure what information you need - but I have a root folder and within the root site there is a folder with Templates and the templates have the extension .dwt
I have read some posts that say recreate the cache which i have tried - this hasnt worked
I then read another post that says you can update the pages by Modify > templates > Update Pages..
When i tried this I get the update dialog box, but when i try to update the pages i get the following error message:
"error accessing file - (name of the dwt file), file not found, error code 2"
Can i ask the what is the error code 2 - i mean is there any information about the error code which will help me to resolve my templates not being found? as i am bit stuck...
Would appreciate any help on this and thank you in advance
Regards
Lorna

I would like further help with the issue Guy McMickle identified.
When I update links to my two template files I receive the above Error Code 2 message four times. There are 22 page files based on these templates.
The <!-- InstanceBegin template... code does not exist in either of the template files. I does, however, show up in every one of the 21 files that were created from one of the two templates. In these files it shows up in uneditable header code.
Why does the error code only show up four times? If the instanceBegin code is only generated when a file is created based on a template, how can it be avoided or corrected?

Template not updating pages in MAC CS4

I have Dreamweaver CS4 on a iMAC (latest computer) w/ Lion (recently upgraded). I had been using Dreamweaver 8 on a PC but moved everything a few months ago.
I updated the template. When I saved it, Dreamweaver was supposed to ask to update all related pages, but it didn't ask that. When I open a page and apply the template, the change shows up. But I have too many pages to do that. I tried going to Modify> Template> Update pages. I turned the LOG on and it said the pages were updated. I did a Review at the top level and the pages showed up and I moved them to the server. I don't know why the changes aren't showing up on the server. I refreshed the page on the server and the change still didn't show up.
Trudy

The next thing to try would be this -
1. In DW's Site manager, export the site definition (make sure you note where you export it so you can find it again - also make sure you export the FULL site definition).
2. With the site still selected in Site manager, REMOVE it.
3. Now IMPORT the site definition you just exported.
That can also fix this troublesome problem.

Template not updating pages properly

I have several pages, all started from the same template. The path to an image in the template is <img src="../index.php" width="140" height="200" alt="Balgonie Baptist Church Logo"> but on the pages that are updated from this template they are:
<img src="index.php" width="140" height="200" alt="Balgonie Baptist Church Logo"> . The 2 periods from the source path are not there on the pages. I think something like this happened before, what am I doing wrong? I'm a newbe.

#1 .PHP is not an image extension. It is an HTML page containing server-side code.
Images should have file names with .jpg or .png or .gif.
#2 template.dwt files reside inside a Templates folder. That's why links in templates contain the leading dots -- ../images/somefile.jpg
#3 When you create a new page from template and save it to the root of your site, DW correctly removes the leading dots for you -- images/somefile.jpg. At least that's how it should work.

Dreamweaver CS6: Template not updating pages

I have developed a small promotional site using Dreamweaver CS6. Virtually all pages have been designed around a single template, and this has worked well throughout development.
However, I'm now noticing that updates applied to the template (updates to an uneditable region) are being passed to only a few of the pages.
Here is a page not being updated by the template: http://www.purepowerengine.com/about.htm
Thank you in advance.

Hi rdwright,
Thanks for sharing the answer with us. Good to know that you are all set.

Template not updating pages

My customer wanted me to add some google analytics to some of
their pages. So I tried to make an editable area just above the
</body> tag so that I could put the specific code on just
some of their pages. But when I did this, it put  after the </body> tag. I don't know why it
did this. But now all of the pages have this stuck on the pages. I
updated the template to remove this bottom editable region but when
I update the pages, all of the code is still showing and I can't
get rid of it. I'm sure it's because this  is after the body tag. How can I fix this? You can view the
source of
http://www.harboryc.com and look
at the very bottom to see what I'm talking about.

That page's template markup is perfectly normal. The 
*SHOULD* be where it is on all template child pages.

Can not refresh page after save properly(When not saving master record)

I am using jdeveloper 11g R2 (11.1.2.3) JSF Facelet
In some use case I have Address as master table and Person as detail table
For some business reason I need to don't save same addresses
eg:
If +1 Test St+ is in database already and new user coming and adding this address with new person
I need to use the row in database not creating a new address
I do saving in doDML method of Address with some hashing algorithm and it is fine
My problem is that I can not refresh page after save properly
User coming to page think Adding a new address and a new person but in fact no new
address added because of business I describe above
Any ideas how I can implement this?
Appreciate that
Regards
Mohsen

Hi,
from your description it is not clear why the page doesn't refresh. It could be a problem in your implementation code - who knows. What if you perform the address check on a command button that actually submits the new address? If the check returns true (address exists) you would call row.refresh(forget new row); and re-query the view object so the address coming from the database is displayed. If you wanted to use the doDML then yuou need to be aware that doDML doesn't help removing the row the user created. It just ignores the database update but the entity is still around, which in my suggested solution wont be the case.

Template does not update pages

When I change a menu item in a template (located in the Template folder), and attempt to save it, DW asks if I want to update all pages created w/this template. When I hit OK, all seems well. The log shows all pages have been updated. When I preview, the browser displays a message that xxx.html cannot be found in the Templates folder.
When I restored the entire site from a Time Machine backup, the problem persisted.
Any help would be most appreciated.

Not a templates user, but I am asking why your page is looking for a file with an HTM extension in the Templates folder. As I understand it, only template file(s) with the dwt extension should reside in the Templates folder.
Can we see your code to determine what is calling for that HTM file?

Pages with Templates not updating?

I made a template page (saved in templates folder), then did a SAVE AS to create my other pages.
When I tried to update a template (repeating region), it does not seem to update the other pages (files updated = 0)
The site is managed as well.
HELP!!! It's driving me nuts!

Oh wait, I read your initial post more closely. You did not create your pages correctly. You do not use SAVE AS from your template file to create the other pages.
What you do is create your template and 'Save as Template'
Then to actually build your pages, File => New => Page from Template (see image)

Templates not updating their pages

Hi all,
I created a Dreamweaver template with the main layout of my site with a few editable regions. I also made a few pages from that template, telling Dreamweaver to "update [the] page when [the] template changes". I got some new pages with the non-editable parts grayed out and the editable parts in full color. So far, so good. But when I change something on the template and save it, all of the pages based off of that template do not update with my change. I also cannot manually edit in the change because the region I edited in the template is grayed out, naturally, in the pages based off of the template.
How do I get the template's "child pages", so to speak, to update?
Thanks,
Dylan

Ok, I figured it out. I had a duplicate copy of the template for some reason. One copy had children; the other didn't. I was editing the template with no children. When I deleted the childless template and began editing the correct one, I was presented with a wonderful little dialog box asking if I wanted to update the child pages.
Thanks for all of your help,
Dylan

Template not updating child pages

Hi, here's a link to the conundrum:
http://theexperience-exchange.co.uk/stop.html
This page (as are a few others) is based on a template document (stored in a Templates folder in the site root).
I added an editable region in the form of a new div with some text etc. When I do a 'save' I get the update files dialogue box, but it doesn't update the child pages.
I did look on the forum for an answer, althought there are similar examples of this issue, they don't seem to have had any dircet help.
As ever, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I'm signing off for the night, catch up with you all in the morning.
Thanks in anticipation
RP

Let's start with the obvious things.
1. Are you sure you're editing the correct template.dwt file?
Your Stop.html page is referencing this one. internal_pages.dwt
2. After saving your template and updating the child pages, did you upload the child pages to your server?

Template not updating linked pages

I've never had this happen before. Any changes i make -
mainly to nav doesn't take in any of the linked pages. Even if I
make a new page directly from the template, then make a change to
the template it doesn't even update the newly created page.
Using DW MX2004
Anyone ever hear of this? A fix?

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). If
you *have
done this*, then recreate the child pages (in DWCS3) using
FILE | New > Page
from Template, select the template and click CREATE.
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?
