Template overwrites content on save

I connect to the website, navigate to the page I want to edit. Click "Edit Page" and all that shows is a template. All the content that was on the page is removed and if i save it, the template overwrites my content.
The first image below is was the page SHOULD look like, the second image is when I click "Edit Page":
And if I save the draft, it overwrites my content.

Can you please share the URL of the page?

Error when using ANY "save site as template Include Content" solution to create a NEW Site Collection

Here is the scenario. (SharePoint 2013)
In Dev/Test/Prod any Site that we Save as Template and include content and then, Download and try to use in a new Site Collection errors out upon use "List does not exist" error.
This occurs with ANY Site, even OOB Team Site template that is immediately "Saved as Template".
We can do this in any other environment (we have several test labs 1 in O365 and 1 in VM that is very OOB)
We can take the site solution from the environments we're having the issue in and use them successfully in our Lab environments (on prem or in the cloud).
We have also tried taking Site solution from lab environment (where we know it works fine) and tried to use these in Dev/Test/Prod and they also error on us.
In the Dev/Test/Prod environments that have the issue if we DO NOT include content, the template works just fine to create a new site collection with the template.
Keep in mind we're talking about environment with no 3rd party apps, no custom code, just 2013 SharePoint with all patches and CU up to June 2013, AND this is ANY template even a vanilla OOB template without anything in it.
You can always save site as template including content, download/upload it to new site collection solutions gallery and activate it without any issue... it's only if you try to use these templates to create a site that the error occurs.
Any thoughts on this?

I also experiencing the same issue. I also tried to create a new site-collection using publishing site template, resulting in "list not found" error.
Later I tried just a team-site (with content) -> the same error.
The error appears on two different (post SP1) farms. That's why I tested the site-collection creation on an old (pre SP1) farm: the error doesn't exist. Site-Collections are created properly.
My conclusion is: either SharePoint SP1 or a later CU causing the error.

Save a published Access services database site as a template with contents does not work

Hi
I have a Access site on the SharePoint. I wanted the site to be duplicated to another subsite, I then did the usual - save site as a template with contents and made a copy of it, however it does not work. I have been getting the error as stated below
error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for dataset 'Default'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand)
For more information about this error navigate to the report server on the local server machine, or enable remote errors
However, it works if I make a local copy and publish it to the subsite? How does access services work on SharePoint and why the template option can't be chosen.

Issue with using SSXA region templates with Content Presenter.

I am using Content Presenter taskflow in Webcenter Portal. When i try to use the SSXA region template with content presenter, it doesnot render the html markup. But if i use normal UCM region templates(hscp), its rendering the html markup properly.
Http Server acts as a proxy for both webcenter and ucm. Enabled SiteStudio, SiteStudioforExternalApplications, Webcenter Configure and other required features in Webcenter. Can any one tell me, if i missed any step?
All i am getting the output as
${data.body}
Taskflow binding
<taskFlow id="doclibcontentpresenter1"
taskFlowId="/oracle/webcenter/doclib/view/jsf/taskflows/presenter/contentPresenter.xml#doclib-content-presenter"
activation="deferred"

<parameter id="datasourceType" value="${'dsTypeSingleNode'}"/>
<parameter id="datasource"
value="${'UCM#dDocName:JLR_WYSIWYG_DATA'}"/>
<parameter id="templateCategory" value="${''}"/>
<parameter id="templateView" value="${'WYSIWYG_BLOCK_1_RGT'}"/>
<parameter id="regionTemplate" value="${true}"/>
<parameter id="maxResults" value="${''}"/>
</parameters>
</taskFlow>
region template:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1"
xmlns:wcm="http://www.oracle.com/jsp/wcm">
<wcm:dataFile var="data"/>
${data.body}
</jsp:root>
This uses one region definition containing WYSIWYG element. I am able to edit and could type the html markup or data in WYSIWYG editor at contribution mode, but when i click save and close, all i am getting output as ${data.body}
I manually verified the data file in UCM, and i could see the information stored (the data entered in contribution mode)

Prasath,
I'm not 100% sure but i believe that WebCenter does not support everything from the WCM tags. You can read the topic on SSXA on the WebCenter EMG:
https://groups.google.com/group/webcenter-emg/browse_thread/thread/2ef9cca0252a0ae3
Just a quote:
"With the 11.1.1.4 release, WebCenter is very much targeted at the type of sites that would have previously been done using the WCM components (eg. Extranet, Internet sites). By surfacing the site studio region templates (and allowing in place editing of the documents) many of the use cases can be met. The question now is not whether,or not, the native templating + region support is sufficient for your needs (WebCenter does not support all the WCM artefacts as yet). "

Templates Overwrite everything

As of yesterday templates worked fine, now when I
(Modify/Templates/Apply Template to page) I no longer get the pop
up that asks me what regions to put the new page contents into my
template. It just makes a copy of the template, overwriting
everything on the new page.
I make daily backups of my site, but even going back to when
I am sure my templates were working I get the same problem. I dont
get any error messages or anything, just a copy of the template
page that does not include the content of the page I am trying to
apply it to.
I must have done something bone headed. Any ideas?

That's why this method you describe is a bad method.
Try this -
1. Create a new page from the template
2. Copy and paste content from the existing page into the new
page you just
created
3. Repeat for all new pages

Custom Display template for Content Search webpart

Hi,
I am trying to customize the out of the box "slideshow" display template for content search webpart which renders Images.
By default, the slideshow display template has a fixed the image size which is very small. Is it possible to increase the dimensions of the container or control template to show a much larger image size?
Can anyone please help on how to do this?
Thanks,

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to increase the dimensions of the container or control template to show a much larger image size in the Content Search web part.
I recommend to create a custom Display Template (control and Item display templates) and use JQuery Slider plugin to achieve this goal.
More detailed information are provided in the link below:

Dreamweaver template-update overwrites content

Currently I'm using the Adobe CS4 Web Premium Suite on a Mac. I've been using Dreamweaver for a very long time but just recently I started to build templates for Contribute and it's been working fine, however, I need help resolving an issue.
After designing the template, setting the Editable Regions and saving it as a template in Dreamweaver, I upload it to production and can edit the page with contribute successfully. However, when I update non-editable regions on the template, overwite the files using that template and publish those files to production, it overwrites any content updates the user makes via Contribute.
Am I missing a step? Any suggestions why this is happening?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

Yes Bryant I did,
I finally figured out that when using: "Save as Template..." (from the File menu), Dreamweaver was creating the file with two extensions: .dwt & .cfm...
However, it should only have one extension, and that's: .dwt (DreamWeaverTemplate). This way both Dreamweaver & Contribute treat it as a template file rather than regular Coldfusion.
This should fix the issue.

MS Word Template in Content Server

Hi, we have this problem.
we have a Z transactions asking the user to give some data and save it in a table with key number, the user can attach several documents (.DOC) from local pc and transaction use content server to store these documents and linked it to the data stored in table via the key document. all of this is working fine. we are using ARCHIVOBJECT_CREATE_FILE and ARCHIV_CONNECTION_INSERT functions to save this file in content server and link the document to the key number.
now we are trying to make the transaction open a MS word template , the user fill the word document and when its done the transaction save it in content server
some can give some help to do this?
we are searching a way to :
1.- store a Ms Word template in SAP
2.- Open this MS Word template with a button in the Z transaction.
3.- Let the user fill the template .
3.- save the document filled in content server without change the original template and linked to the data with the same key number.
thanks.

All catch is to insert table in the correct level of xml schema.
1. So you first need to insert add elements to the template until you reach the element that you want to use in the table. For example if you want to display items of orders, this level would be Transactionhistoryofheader - Btdocflowall - Item
2. After that you would insert table with 2 rows and as many columns as you need.
3. The first row of the table is used for column headers. You can type in freely any text you want to display in column headers.
4. The second row of the table is for the entries themselves. In the second row you have to add elements from the xml schema that are in the lower part of the element under which you inserted table. For example, under Transactionhistoryofheader - Btdocflowall - Item are then next nodes Btorder - Administrationheaderoneorder - Description. So in this case in first column will be displayed descriptions of all entries.
5. At runtime rows are added dynamicly depending on actual number of entries.

I'm using Word for Mac. Though there are various instructions on the Internet for modifying the templates, none make sense to me. They instruct to do something I can't follow. I change a template but can't save it to the template folder.

What the ****.
OK, I try to change a template using Word for Mac version 14.3.4 2011 edition.
I make a change to the template but am unable to save the darned thing to the template folder; it asks for a file name like it's a new document. I want to change the blasted template but if I can't save it as a modified template, I've accomplished nothing.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks

Acrobat 9 Pro - PDF Optimizer fails when selecting overwrite file during save process

Hello Everyone,
I am wondering if Acrobat 9 Pro has changed in the way it handles PDF Optimizing functioning when trying to overwrite the file you are attempting to optimize. In Acrobat 8 Professional, it overwrites the file just fine when it gets to the save process. It does work when you modify the name during the save process, however, it would be nice to know if this is "the way it works" or the "program has an issue".
Thoughts?
Message received when trying to overwrite the file,
COnversion Warnings> "An error was encountered while saving the document."
Logically, it seems as though the application cannot save over an "opened" file thus dumping that message on me.
Regards. D.

No.

Updating Word templates in Content Types - changes not appearing automatically

Hello
I have a SharePoint site where I have existing content types all with MS Word templates assigned to them. I wish to change the Word template so it looks different.
I have saved my Word template as a .dot file and have edited my content type so it points to the updated template in the 'Advanced' area of the content type properties. When I look at my template via the 'Edit Template' in the 'advanced' area of the
content type it is fine (as it is when I look at the template file via explorer view) but when I create a new document based on the content type it is referring to the old template. Furthermore, I have renamed some of the content type names but they
have not updated either.
Any ideas? Is there a background process that runs to help with this?

Sorry, just re-visited this and i think i might have missed an obvious answer.
SharePoint tries to protect you from yourself.
That measn that it will not, in some cases, push changes down to lists. For example if you were to delete a column at the site level which is also in place on lists SharePoint won't delete it from the lists.
I'll bet that If you look at the content type at the library level it's showing the old details still.

Is there a way to automate file creation based on a template with content in the file being different based on a list?

That was very wordy and I can not at the time make it any better.
I have a template of a decal. I want to make many of these decals but with a different name on each decal. Is there some way I can feed a list to Illustrator and have it automatically generate the decal files, with the text changed in each file to a name on the list? That way I don't have to open up the same template, 30, 40, 50 times and manually change the text content for every name I need.

The Variable Data function should be the direction to take for this type of workflow.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/14.0/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-6298a.htm l
This link will give you a quick overview.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Illustrator/14.0/WS714a382cdf7d304e7e07d0100196cbc5f-62a2a.htm l
This is not something I do everyday. Only done this on a couple of jobs which had to have text change in a couple of places with a static background. I don't see a need for this function much with my current workflow, seems like the setup of the template file with variables takes longer than just creating the 12 or 15 files needed. But if you have to create 500 files from one template and can determine what variables need to change then this may be something you want to get good at.

Please help noob debug why updating template duplicates content

Please go to
http://www.mmssupplier.com/
to read the code and help me figure out how to stop my pages from
duplicating content or a partial table whenever I update my
template. It only does this to some of the pages that I built from
the template. I'm not a code expert and cannot figure out why it is
doing this. On that link the header and content on the bottom is
the one I want, not all that top duplication, thanks, I really need
help.

Hmm - then it's hard to imagine what you might be doing to
cause this
anomaly.
The good news is that your template is pretty OK. The
validator only finds
5 errors there -
1. Error Line 69, Column 41: there is no attribute "height".
<td><table width="100%" height="110"
border="0" cellpadding="0"
cellspa
There is NO 'height' attribute in any HTML specification for
the table
tag. Since you cannot reliably use this attribute, you should
just remove
it from your code.
2. Error Line 88, Column 320: value of attribute "align"
cannot be
"absmiddle"; must be one of "top", "middle", "bottom",
"left", "right".
ight="37" border="0" align="absmiddle" id="home2"
/></a><br />
The absmiddle attribute is similar to the table height
attribute - supported
by some browsers, but not valid HTML. Just remove it.
3. Error Line 92, Column 260: value of attribute "name" must
be a single
token.
jpg" alt="health_issues" name="health issues"
width="130" height="37"
border=
You cannot assign a name value that contains spaces.
4. Error Line 92, Column 314: value of attribute "id" must
be a single
token.
30" height="37" border="0" id="health issues"
/></a><br />
You cannot assign an ID value that contains spaces.
5. Error Line 127, Column 61: required attribute "alt" not
specified.
ea shape="rect" coords="2,2,125,31" href="/index.html"
/>
All images on the page should have either a descriptive alt
attribute value,
or an empty one, e.g., <img alt=""....
Fix those errors, please. Then we can re-examine how you
might be stumbling
onto this duplication in your pages.

Performance management redeploying the template with contents

Hi
we are currently configring the Performance appraisal template.
We want to remove the template from the employee screen once the objective is approved by the manager and employee at the beginning of the year.
Again the template need to be deployed back to the employees for the mid year review and also for the Final appraisal.
Can anyone provide the tcode/process for distributing and withdrawing the template with the contents during mid year and final appraisal with the data entered by the employee at the start of the year
thanks in advance
Sasha

Hello Sasha,
check for the validiy dates under the Enhancements DV.
This what you can do - At the category level select the Enhancement : Default Validity Period - Standard
Then at the template level - in the Processing tab- select Futher Template Behaviour - in the window that pops up add the enhancement of the validity dates.
As standard functionality the validity is " STANDARD" but you would need to copy and enhance this to meet your requirement if you have to avoid the manul work of someone locking and unlocking the template now and then.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Regi
