Template Trouble

I am experiencing a problem with a template in DW CS4 I think it is css related but I am at a complete loss - in large part because I don't read css very well.
The section of the site that the template controls starts at: http://www.quadraisland.ca/tourism/vacations/index.html
At this url this is how the site is supposed to look.
But this morning I had a new package to add at: http://www.quadraisland.ca/tourism/vacations/connect/rejuvenation/index.html
All was fine until I went back to the template to update the Spry navigation bar to add a link to the new page. I could see right away that the Template looked wrong and sure enough after I added the new link to the navigation and saved, once all the pages were updated they were messed up too. The maincontent div is now grey and the image with the green to gold gradient down the left edge doesn't run all the way to the bottom.
I've posted the vacations section of the site after updating the template in a separate folder here: http://www.quadraisland.ca/tourism-copy/vacations/
Can any one see what has happened? I have gone back to my backup files and I just can't seem to get a version that works anymore. I remember in October having an alignment (left to centre) issue that I was playing around with but all seemed fine until today when I let the template update the child pages.
Help?

Well after spending a good chunk of the day trying to figure out why the template container won't centre and why the background colours are messed up I decided to cut my losses and detach all the child pages from the template and use a snippet to update the navigation menu which is really the only important template feature I need to globally update.

Template Troubles

Yet another issue I cannot get around today.
I'm trying to build a website from a Master Template, and
several Nested Templates based from that. My master template has
two editable regions, one for the body, one for a small flash movie
that changes out for each of the six divisions of the site (six
nested templates).
My trouble is stemming from the flash movie in the header.
I'm trying to place the Flash Movie in this region at the nested
template level. However, it's not carrying over to the HTML pages
though. I've done considerable research on this this afternoon, and
came up with the following from Adobe's site:
"Verify that you didn't make changes to an editable region of
the template. Changes made to editable regions in .dwt files will
not propagate to child pages. Only changes to locked regions will
propagate."
So if this is the case, and a change I make in an editable
region at the nested template level won't propogate to the children
pages, how do I accomplish this? Is there some way to "lock" the
editable region at the nested template level?
As always, any help is greatly appreciated.

> These menu bars are the reason that I'm using the nested
> templates.
Consider this approach. Create the section-specific menus as
server-side
include fragment files. Create a single Template as the page
I linked with
an editable region where the section-specific menus will be
placed. I'm not
quite sure I follow the jump menu thing but it could be
handled in exactly
the same way.
This makes much more practical sense than using Nested
Templates. Although
I stand as the only person to write a book exclusively about
DW Templates
(it was not exactly a barn burner), I have never found a
'real' scenario
where I could justify their use as opposed to a simpler
approach. They just
add way too much complexity to things.

Horizontal display of parent/child/grandchild on the template troubles

Hello,
I am trying to display horizontally the Child/Grandchild records on my template. I can see the Child/Grandchild records but not the Parent. I'm sure it's an easy fix but it eludes me.
I can send the .rtf template and .xml file to anyone who would like to enlighten me.
Thanks.

Ok. I got the fix back. Thank you.
Looks like the change was that I had the ForEach based on the lines, at the line level, but it should have been on the header level.
Thanks again.

DW template trouble??

I know this will be answered easily and is a stupid question
but...
I have made 2 templates.
I have made several blank pages by right clicking and
choosing 'new folder' / 'new file' in the 'files' panel.
When I went to apply the template to a file in another
folder, down a step in the directory, none of the images worked.
It is all fine on the same level of the directory however.
What do I have to do? Thanks
P.S is there a way to apply a template to several pages all
at once? Thanks

This discovery means a) you don't understand how to make
links, and b) you
don't understand the difference between document and root
relative links.
All links in the TEMPLATE file should be one of three kinds -
1. Relative to the template file, e.g.,
<a href="../ (meaning that you must go up one level from
the template folder
to reach the root of the site, hence all other files, since
none of them
should be in the templates folder)
2. Relative to the site root, e.g.,
<a href="/ (meaning that one would begin looking for the
linked file at the
root of the site and follow the pathing from that point)
3. Absolute, e.g.,
<a href="
http:// (meaning that the link is to a page
external to the site).
The problem is surely that you did not make the template
links properly.
The rule is this - when looking at the template page, all
links must be
correct for that template page. If that's the case, then DW
will properly
manage those links no matter where you save your child pages.

Help! Template trouble

I am creating a website on a ftp site and I would like to use
a template for all the website pages. I am confused as to where to
save the template and how to apply the template to pages on the ftp
site. If anyone is good with templates PLEASE HELP!!! Because I
don't know what I'm Doing.
Thanks!

This is an RDS & FTP Server site? Why are you using that?
It will
complicate your use (frankly, I'm not even sure if you CAN
use them) of
templates significantly....

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.

Newbie having trouble with template highlight (button)

Stupid question I'm sure, but for the life of me I can't figure it out:
When using a template, if I change anything at all about the TYPE related to a button, or the size of the button/text group, the corresponding HIGHLIGHT gets freaky. I can't for the life of me figure out how to control where that highlight appears, or even it's size, etc. So I have these beautiful DVD menus that are marred by weird highlight bars--some of them run across two buttons.
(Yes, I figured out how to make the highlights invisible, but that defeats the whole point of course.)
Hope my question wasn't confusing. Any help would be wildly appreciated. Thanks...

Okay, let me pose a theory: Is it possible my installation is having trouble, in other words is what I'm seeing NOT normal?
Can anyone verify (it would only take a few minutes) my findings? Here are the steps: Create a brand-new project using (just to make sure we're on the same page) the Apple template called "Wedding Classical Index." Next, resize any one of the main elements (labeled "button 1," etc.). OR, change the text to two words, or modify the text size/font. When finished, hit the Simulate button and mouse over the button you modified.
Does the highlight look normal, e.g., underneath the text, etc., or has it moved to the side of the text, or changed into a vertical line, or worse?
I just want to verify that my installation isn't being screwy. Thanks to the kind soul who takes a minute to help me out with this so I can move on...

I am having trouble getting buttons to work in Captivate 8 trial version using a responsive design template. Any suggestions?

I have a trial version of Captivate 8 that I am evaluating to determine if it will be an option to replace a software we currently use. However I am having a lot of trouble getting even the simplest of tasks to work using the responsive design template. To troubleshoot I created 2 projects 1st a completed empty project using responsive design and a 2nd blank project using the blank project template. I created an audio file that the button, when pressed, will play. I can place a button on first slide of both projects, rollovers work fine, but in the responsive design project buttons will not work to trigger the action. Is this a known issue in the trial version?

A Blank project is a normal cptx-project, not a responsive project, it has no breakpoint views like a responsive project, it is meant to have always the same layout but on publishing you can choose to have it 'rescale' automatically. A responsive project allows you to create slightly different layouts for the three breakpoint views: Primary (desktop/laptop/landscape on tablets), Tablet (portrait on tablet) and mobile (phones, where the browser has much lower resolution than the real phone resolution). The 'look' of a project, whether it is responsive or not will be defined by the Theme that is the default theme at that moment, and with the default theme colors that you have at that moment. I think in newbie mode the default theme is White (not sure, never used newbie mode). If you choose another theme as default theme, a blank project and a responsive project will open with that theme applied to it. All themes coming with CP8 are responsive, but you can use them also for normal projects, in that case you only use the object styles for Primary view. Each object style normally has 3 versions, for the 3 breakpoint views.

Having trouble with the Check Out (Registration - Buy) template - keep getting error message!

Hello!
Hoping somone can help me with this. I've been struggling for a while and must get this finished. I am using BC ecommerce and PayPal standard. I have set up my item, templates, etc. I'm testing the function and can get through until the checkout. When I try to checkout, I get an error message that says:
"ERROR: You have deleted your web form. Please login to the Admin panel of your website and remove the previously submitted form from the web page you last visited. You will need to recreate this web form by going to Modules -> Webforms. After recreating simply insert this new web form into the web page and your web form should work properly."
I edited the Registration - Buy template to only include PayPal as the payment method (though I don't see how this form functions).
I followed the instructions on the kb site to set up PP standard (PDT token and all that) and have set that up in the gateway section.
I can get to the item, add it to the cart, get to the cart, checkout button brings me to the checkout page, but then stuck.
I'd appreciate any help you can offer as I'm behind on this now. Thank you

Thank you for your quick reply Liam! You know, I checked the web forms list when I got that error message and the form isn't there. I was having trouble the other day when another of my forms kept getting deleted.
Sorry if this is a stupid question (I'm a BC newbie) but I want to be sure so I can get this project finished... The proper workflow would be to create this form myself in Web Forms then insert it into the Registration - Buy template using the modules toolbox?
Thanks to you I may get this done on time still... if my PayPal set up works

Trouble creating content presenter template

I'm trying to create a template for the content presenter that will display a table view of files in a folder.
I tried creating a custom template based off the sample list-detailed-tabular-view.jsff that was included. but I am having trouble figuring out what my error is.
When I export the template I can successfully upload it to webcenter but when I try to apply the template to a content presenter the page goes blank and I have to go back to administration to disable the template to get the page to load again.
After several failed attempts I even tried copying the sample table template directly without changing any of the code but when I apply it the page still goes blank and becomes inaccessible
This only happens when I try to create a template that calls another single template. I was able to get a template working that was for a single item, but I need to get the documents under a folder to work...
How can I troubleshoot whats causing the error? I am new so I have a feeling I may be missing some steps when creating,exporting, or uploading the template.
Below are the sources for the 2 templates, do I have to create anything else besides a .jsff file?
Single Item which works by it self:
<?xml version = '1.0'?>
<jsp:root xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page" version="2.1"

</af:goImageLink>
<af:outputText id="emptyot" value="#{templateBundle.EMPTY_NODE}"
rendered="#{empty node}"/>
</dt:contentTemplateDef>
</jsp:root>
The Table Template that calls the single item (this is what seems to break the page when I activate it)
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>

id="c3">
<af:outputText value="#{node.modifiedBy}" id="ot3"/>
</af:column>
</af:table>
</dt:contentListTemplateDef>
</jsp:root>
Also if anyone knows where I can find tutorials to learn how to create the templates that would be great.

You may want to repost your question in the WebCenter Portal forum. The problem is likely not on the Content Server side.

Trouble with Group By in RTF Template

Hello All,
I'm very new at RTF Template building, and I've spent hours trying to figure this out with no avail. I'm using BIP Desktop add-in for Word to load in my XML data and create some tables and charts. Right now I'm able to create a detail level table on the RTF, but I want to also create a summary level table. The summary table is where I get stuck, as I can't get my group by statements to work. I've tried to insert a table/form and use the table wizard, but neither work.
My detail level table has customer and shipments (among a few other noncritical fields). I just want a summary table to show customer and total number of shipments (simple count function). Right now, my output looks something like this:
Customer     Customer
Brian Jones     Shipment
     1
     1
     1
     1
     1
     1
     1
     1
     1
So it groups by the customer fine, but doesn't actually count the shipments. It assigns a 1 for each shipment number, but doesn't actually count the fields to give a Brian - 9.
Again, I'm very new at this, so this might be very basic. Also, if there are any good resources on RTF template building, I'd love some help on learning to do this stuff better.
Thanks!
Alex

Don't you want to actually find the sum of the shipments to give you a count of shipments for the customer? Have you tried using the sum function for your shipments field?
You could insert the shipment field, select function sum (from the drop-down menu) and check the 'On grouping' box..
Send me your template and sample XML to [email protected] if you would like.

I am having trouble implementing scripting functionality in an indesign template for a DPS project.

Basically how should the interaction between inserted HTML and the CSS, JS applied for the HTML happen?
I created plain HTML code which has text fields, buttons and the functions that perform some simple calculations. But when imported via Object>Insert HTML the HTML functionality was lost. I then tried creating and exporting an indesign template which contained all the buttons required for the calculation as a HTML file via File>Export option, added modified HTML code and then used Object>Insert HTML. But no luck.
Is there a better way to import and/or how do we initiate a button to be used via scripting? (Eg: convert a image into a button in indesign, but.... how best to initiate a "onClick" function for the button created via Js or Jquery).

I'm having the same issue. And Dreamweaver now crashes after just a few seconds.

Trouble with using MX Templates in DW8

I had a question that I just cannot seem to figure out. My
company recently bought Macromedia's Studio 8 Upgrade for the
Design department. We used to use Dreamweaver MX. We did not have
any problems with MX, with images showing in the Design window.
However, in DW8 the images do not show up. There are place
holders, but I need to see the images so I can actually design the
page. When I program the sites into DW8 and then open a page it
seems like the website management is not right. I found out that I
had to re-attach the CSS sytle sheet using DW8's CSS window, once I
did that the page looked a lot better but the images still do not
show up (in the design screen).
This problem only seems to occur in Dreamweaver 8. When
viewed in a browser it seems to be fine. Does anyone know a setting
that I may be getting messed up? I copied all of our websites
directly from MX, so that cannot be the issue.
Thanks again!

Show me such a page, please.
