Template update of accordian widget
When I make changes to the accordian widget in the template these changes are not updated on the pages made from the template. Any ideas?
My guess is that you have it in an editable region of your template. When you make a change and save, it does not update the child pages. You might be able to make the changes, go up to Modify | Templates | Apply Template to Page...but that is a guess.
If your accordian is a menu, having it in an editable region is not very productive.
Your best bet is to post a link to one of the child pages so people can see the code.

Why can't the Accordian widget's drop down box span full width in mobile layout?
I'm trying to create a simple drop down navigation for mobile. When the entire header is clicked, it expands down to reveal a dynamic vertical menu, which will cover the page content below, not push it down.
I've taken an accordian widget and added a vertical navigation widget (to allow dynamic navigation) into the expanded area. When I preview it, the drop down box of the accordian widget doesn't span the full width of the site width (380px). It stops 5-10px short of the right edge, which is a small detail, but it annoys me, and is not how I have it set up in design view. There is no other content on the page, just this element. When I have elements extend off the page area, it somehow affects the amount of space the drop down area stops short from and adds more. Strange again. Kind of stumped as to if/how I can fix this.
Screenshot attached.The code taht you have shown is not the template, it is a document that has been created from a template and renamed with a dwt extension.
If you load the document into DW then go to menu item Modify->Templates->Detach from Template and save the file, you will have your original template called index.dwt and located in the Templates subdirectory. -
Problems with spry accordian widget in CS5
I am updating a client's website and am having problems with the spry accordian widget. I read that it has been replaced with jQuery in the latest version and am told I can modify my existing spry widgets but cannot add new ones. In trying to modify the existing widget I get error alerts. I guess adding a new accordian tab is not considered a modification of the existing widget. I only have CS5 version of DW. What to do? Thanks in advance for your help.
Hi Patricia,
you with your CS5 can continue to use the spry accordian widget BUT it's inopportune. I quote from different contributions of the forum: "Spry has been deprecated and is no longer officially supported by Adobe", “Adobe abandoned Spry late last year after CS6 came out. Future products will probably not contain any Spry so learning to use jQuery is a valuable skill to have for the future.” So I/we recommend you to switch to a jQuery library for your further requirements."
You may have a look here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/ddaccordionmenu.htm, where you will find a wide range of different menus.
On the other hand - to become closer with your problem - you could send us the link to your website in question.

Template Update on Remote Server - How To?
When I make a change to my template, I get the popup window
that allows me to update the entire site or just files connected to
a template. But, that just updates files on my local computer.
I'm accessing the template file on the remote server and have
that open on my desktop. But, the template update just applies to
my local files.
So, how do I get the template to update to all related files
on my remote server?That would be correct. Templates have no function on the
server. Never
have.

I'm doing our company badges in Illustrator. I've created a template with 12 badges on one page. The only thing that will need to change for each badge is the name and photo. Then every year, alls I need to update is the expiration date. If I open this template, save as a new file, make changes to the template, will the file that utilizes that template update (like a template in Dreamweaver does)?
Thanks
EDIT: Just tested, doesn't work, I wasn't thinking clearly...duh opens a new document when opening that template. So I guess my question then is what is the best way to do this.Hello Tanya,
What you can do to update all the dates on the ID cards you can do the following:
Main Menu: "Edit" + "Find and Replace"
In the "Find" field enter the old date
And in the "Replace With" field enter the new date.
Finally select "Find" + "Replace All" + "Done"
In my versions of CS3, this fields of "Find and Replace" window are saved until your quit the program. In other words, you can open all the ID documents and the old date and the new date will be already set for you to just select "Find" + "Replace All" + "Done"
I hope this helps. -
Dreamweaver template update ftp files without synchronizing
Today I change Template - Update all files based on the template - synchronize entire site.
What I Like to do: change Template - Update all files based on the template
and then in the same window button with ftp upload changed files!
Why do I want this:
The synchronization can take time on big sites, I have cms and billing system on my site with many files.
The synchronization can take time on slow connection.
When the time betwen two synchronization is to small Dreamweaver select all files (or many) for synchronization. I do not know if this is only my problem (maybe there is different time on my computer and the server?).
Do we have solution for this today?
Or can this be something to suggest for next version?
Thanks for any suggestionNot sure if there is anything set up in DW yet, it does give a status window of what files were updated, you could possibly work backwards form that list (still a bit cumbersome). I also believe that if you change the template and upload it to your server, it will prompt you as to whether or not you'd like to "include dependant files", and (in theory) it will also upload the files linked associated with it... but that may need to be tested to see how well it works on a larger site.
As a possible alternative, you could use "Server Side Includes" - which is a single file which contains a portion of your page (the top navigation, footer area, etc.), and any page that uses this element will automatically update when you upload just that one element. Here is a link which explains it better: http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/server_side_includes.asp and there are several others on the web that offer more detailed explainations - one caveat is that the web server you use would need to be set up to accept SSI... most do, but something you'd need to look into beforehand...
Hope that helps,

CS4 Problem with Template Updates
There's another thread on this subject, but I couldn't see any final resolution.
I'm having a problem with Template Update.
I have all pages in site linked to a single template. I built the template 1st and then created each page from the template using normal method.
When I now make a change to the template, I save the template and it automatically saves and opens a box to select pages to update. I do NOT have to use the Updates feature on the top menus, but I have done that too just to try different things. When I select all the files, it updates them all, most of them correctly. BUT, one or several of them will have a NEW Main Content (and sometimes header) superimposed on top of the existing Main Content (or header). It shifts the page downward and to the right. By the way, down below the screwed section, the content is all still there and the original template is still intact under the screwed up area.
To fix it, I create a new page from the template and start over inserting the Main Content, which is nothing special, just formatted text. Next time I update, that same page will always get screwed up again, but sometimes 1 or more different pages will also get screwed up in the same way, always with a new nested Main Content area (on top of the original or sometimes pushed down half a page).
I thought it might be because of a nested Main Content in that section of the template, but I see none, or any other abnormal html. It does not do this to all 20-30 pages, just one every time and one or more random ones. I see nothing in html different from one page to the next.
Don't know how to attach documents to this, but I have the template and two of the screwed up pages to send.
Charlie
[email protected]The site is http://www.michaelchekhov.net
Public directory is /public_html, but that's the root, so the links below should work.
These pages are out of their normal directory, so the supporting links won't work, but you can see the code. Look at the home page and you can see what all the pages are supposed to look like.
The template which created the problem with the pages below is at /support/TEMPLATE index.dwt
The page that consistently fails is called poatool.html - the bad one is at /support/BAD poatool.html
A 2nd page that failed on that UPDATE is there also - /support/BAD bibliography.html
The currently working copy of the page that fails everytime is /articles/poatool.html.
Thanks.

I'm working on a site and didn't built the templates, but
they look right. For about 80% of the files, when you update the
template the files update correctly.
For the other 20% it updates part, but then reverts other
parts backwards. For example, I cleaned up the <body> tag in
the template and it didn't update on these 20%. I also updated some
links in the template and they got updated just fine in all sites.
Also in these 20%, when the template updates the files, it
puts back the JavaScript code in an editable area. It's not in the
template and was removed from the code, yet comes back each time
the template is updated. The other 80%, it doesn't come back. What
the ?!?!?!?
I've tried applying a new template and re-selecting the good
one and that updates the code correctly. However, next template
change, it updates some of the code reverts backwards other parts
of the code. I don't get it.
Please help before I go cRaZy.
Any idea what might be going on or how to stop it? I'm using
Dreamweaver MX 2004.This is usually an indication of hinky code somewhere. Can we
start by
taking a look at the template, please? Can you upload it and
post a link?

OK, I'm thinking this may be impossible to explain, but here
goes. I have a simple table. I install a Spry Accordian widget to
one of the table's columns, and the whole table (the who page
actually) explodes laterally, breaking apart pictures, and
segmenting what was just a simple table. What gives here? Any help
is MOST appreciated!!add the option defaultPanel:-1 to the constructor
var bla = new
Spry.Widget.Accordion('id',{defaultPanel:-1}); -
Accordian widget scrollbar to publish in Captivate 7
Does anyone know how to get the Accordian widget scrollbar to publish? I'm using Captivate 7 and the interactive widget called Accordian. If your text in the box is too long, a small scroll bar should show up on the right. Only when I publish, it doesn't show up. I'm publishing as a SWF with Flash 11. I've tested it and a few computers can see it and some can't. Any help out there would be much appreciated.
Preview from this slide does nothing, and does not show an error message.
When I try to publish to SWF I get this message: -

Accordian widget only triggers on click, and not mouse-over
I cannot get my accordian widget to behave properly. I have created a drop-down menu off my main nav that I want to trigger (or accordian down) upon mouse-over, and go back up after I have clicked a menu item. Right now the accordian will only open when I CLICK the menu, and only closes when I click again (which is crazy annoying).
How can I set the states for the accordian???
Thank you!I would like to know the answer to davidgb's question as well.

Express card update and mirror widget trick for whine
i had my logic board replaced and it significantly reduced the whine, but a slight whine remains. until i did the express card update, the mirror widget trick worked. now it only works when the mirror is on (i.e. it no longer is quiet when i close the mirror widget like it used to be). any thoughts on how to fix this or revert to old express card software??? thanks in advance.
Actually, I didn't think of closing the lid as a quicker way to put the computer to sleep. That'll save me some time.
The more I think about it, I really have 2 questions:
1) What are the consequences for disabling the whine?
-I've heard 20 minutes battery life and possibly a hotter machine...am I overworking my machine to the point that it may cause problems later down the road?
2) Does anyone think any future updates will completely disable our tricks to get rid of the whine? -
Accordian widget height issues. Please help.
I have built an accordian widget with 3 parts to it. The problem is that when I preview it or export the files and preview it, there is a pile of white space below the accordian. This white space is the exact height of my tallest opened tab. So...when all 3 tabs are closed or one of the other 2 smaller ones are open, there is all this white space below. The only time it looks good is when the tallest accordian tab is open. Can this be fixed? Am I doing something wrong? Thank you.
Just figured it out. Needed to deselct “overlap items below”. Whew.

I have set up a template with a layout table and an editable
region. I now
what to increase the rows in the table from 2 to 4 (will prob
need to add
more later). I can do it OK in the template and when I save
it asks me to
update all files as usual. When I go into the main page that
I want to apply
pictures to the table, the table is still 2 rows only!! If I
create a new
page and apply template it works fine and if I alter anything
else it
updates OK. Any ideas?If the table is in an editable region in the template,
changes to the table will not replicate out to the web pages built
from the template. Since any and all of the content in the editable
region can be changed in a web page built from the template,
updates to the content in editable regions of the template itself
are not applied.
