Template will not update in pages

I've changed the template and saved. The other pages will not
update to show
this change. I try to manually do it through
>File>Templates>update current
page. It displays a message saying ".....contains an invalid
path." Then
another window that says "Error accessing file .......bad
file path (error
code 3).
I just downloaded this whole website from where it was
hosted, made some
changes and then I am going to upload changes. The only thing
I can't get to
work is updating pages from the template. Any help would
greatly be
appreciated.

> The "template.dwt" is in the Templates folder as it
should be.
Is the Templates folder in the root level of the site?
Nothing in that template looks out of place or improper.

Modifying a Template will not update the pages

I have a template that is having problems to update all the
pages built with the template. When I edit > save > Update
template used in these files, everything looks fine- the updates
log shows that it has updated 12 of 12 pages, BUT, when I check the
pages, they won't have the changes made. Here are some things that
I have being trying:
1. When I created each page based on the template - In the
new document log > page from template, I checked the option
"update page when template changes"
2. I tried changing the area that I edited (Menu Botons) to
repeat region, then to editable region, and so on... But the
problem persist.
3. I chose modify > Templates > Apply Template to
page.... and nothing.
4. I re-read the DW Help, tutorials and watch the adobe
videos on this topic...
If somebody can tell me what I might be doing wrong, I will
appreciate your help

Why are you using the gotoURL behavior on your menu images
instead of an
ordinary hyperlink? In other words, you have this -
<img src="
http://www.prueba.turocpr.com/images/boton_sa_sobreturoc.gif"
name="sobre_turoc" width="195" height="24" vspace="2"
id="Image6"
onclick="MM_goToURL('parent','index.html');return
document.MM_returnValue"
onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image6','','images/boton_sa_sobreturoc2.gif',1)"
onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" />
and you should have this -
<a href="index.html"
onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Image6','','images/boton_sa_sobreturoc2.gif',1)"
onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()"><img
src="
http://www.prueba.turocpr.com/images/boton_sa_sobreturoc.gif"
name="sobre_turoc" width="195" height="24" vspace="2"
id="Image6" /></a>
Anyhow, since you are using IMAGES for the menu buttons it
complicates your
solution a bit, but you can use this method -
Put this in script tags in the head of the document -
function P7_downImage() {
var g7="<imagename>"
var g7url="<pathname>"
if ((g7=MM_findObj(g7))!=null) {g7.src=g7url;}
and this on the <body> tag
onload="P7_downImage()"
Then on each page you would need to make two edits:
Set g7 to the *name* of the button (not the file name but the
HTML name -
e.g., "productsbutt"), and g7url to the pathname to the
button (e.g.,
"images/nav/button3.gif"), and bada bing, bada boom!
There is an excellent tutorial here -

Template do not update child pages

I really do not understand why this happens to me all the time.
I had this problem when I was using windows/pc with previous version of dreamweaver many years ago.
I had the same one, now that I am using mac and dreamweaver cs4.
In the past, I created a template, with one editable region. Based on this template, I created many pages.
For some time, everything worked ok, every change in editable region of template forced all child pages to reflect to this change too.
Now, this do not happen anymore(once again as I said).
I cannot understand why this happens. 118 files examined, 0 files updated. Why? What am I doing wrong? Is this a bug in dreamweaver that lasts for years?
I 've done nothing to detach the pages from template, ever. Why it stoped the updating of child file?
Can anybody please help me?

You say "every change in editable region of template forced all child pages". This is NEVER how DW has operated. It's only changes to NON-EDITABLE regions that are propagated to child pages. I suspect that this misunderstand is what is causing you trouble, but if not, read this -
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 will be effected by just uploading the changed Template file 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?

TS2580 my site will not update new pages

I have added a contact us page to my iweb site. I have saved the work, then published the site. When I go to visit the site the page does not show up?

The updated feed.xml file is probably not loaded so you won't see the new menu item.
Try this : clear the browser cache and reload a page.
You can also type the new page url.

Changed template not updating closed pages

I running mx2004. changes to my template use to update my
pages but now they have to be open for the change to take effect.
It goes through the process of scanning and sometimes picks up 6 or
7 pages but ingnores the rest (35 pages in all) Any ideas?
cheers

> have to be open for the change to take effect
That has never been a requirement. If you are finding it to
be so, then
something is really wrong.
Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes
not propagating

1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
the site other

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)

Pages on iPhone5S will not update to new version

My iPhone5S will not update to the latest version: 2.5.2. I tried a dozen times to update it, as well as Numbers. Finally, Numbers updated but Pages still wouldn't. What happens is that I click on Update, and it seems to be updating, then when it finishes and I click on Open, it reverts to Update. I checked the version under Settings, and it was still the older version. I was able to access all my Pages documents, but I was annoyed at seeing the Update reminder, so today I deleted Pages from my phone and intended to re-install it. Now when I bring it up and click on Free and then Install, it just goes back to Free..refuses to budge, so now I don't have any of my Pages docs on my phone. I've tried rebooting, doesn't help. I'm running iOS 8.1.2. All those docs are still there in the Cloud, and Pages appears correctly on my MBP and iPad, but I can't seem to update it---or now, even install it---on my phone. Does anyone have any suggestions? This seems so random.

i would try restoring it or downgrading it and then try it again, if that doesnt work i really dont know.

My browser will not load a page or update unless I am actively moving my cursor or typing. If I select a page and don't do anything then it doesn't load at all. I have no idea how this happened or how to fix it. Thanks.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Home page weather display will not update how to fix this?

On my home page, my.Yahoo, I have selected "weather" for one of the displays. In the past this display kept pace with the current day but now it is stuck on a day and will not update to the current day. I have re-booted, terminated FireFox, restarted it, turned the computer off and back on, and the weather still is stuck and will not update.

A couple more suggestions:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

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

HT1338 Pages will not update on my mac!!

Pages will not update and because of that I cannot open pages files

It sounds like you already have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Template with CSS style sheet attached, not updating in pages

It shows when I look at it in a browser but its not updating in page view. Also not updating image links of style sheets.
I am a developer for a long time. I know dreamweaver and how to do this. Its a bug I think. But need need to know what I can do to get this fixed.

Do you mean it's not showing in Design View?
This could be caused by errors in your code. DW's Design View is very unforgiving of even small errors that the browsers handle with ease.
Check your template page against these validators and clean out any errors...
HTML: http://validator.w3.org/
CSS: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
Is the css that the template is attached to embedded within the template's <head>, an external .css file or inline css?
Is any of the non-updating css in editable regions?

Dreamweaver Template files not updating other files

I took over a website and the site uses Dreamweaver Templates. I'm not too familiar with the way that Templates works. Anyway, the nav (links at bottom of website) need to be updated. I updated the secondary.dwt file within the Templates folder. I uploaded it, but it's not updating the pages on the website that use this template file. Please help!

When you update the template from within DW, you should get a dialog asking if you want to update all of the files that use the template. When you click "OK" everything is updated across the site.
If you updated the template outside of the defined site, it won't update anything and you may have a bit of work on your hands.
In DW, you should have a Files tab with a drop down menu. The drop down menu should have all of your defined sites. Choose the site you are working on and a list of the files in that site will appear. Choose the template and make your changes and it will ask if you want to update everything else.

Firefox problems - Can't open from Downloads - Can't print - FF will not update and more and more...

I've been having several problems with Firefox, to the point that I almost can't use it anymore. In no particular order, they include:
1. When I download something, 'Downloads' opens. When a d/l finishes I used to be able to run an install or open an image from there, but now I get this error message,
Windows cannot access the specified device, path of file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.
...but I can go to my Downloads directory and run or open it from there.
2. If I go to File > Print or File > Print Preview, I get this
Printing Error:
"Before you can perform printer-related tasks such as page setup or printing a document, you need to install a printer. Do you want to install a printer now?"
and if I click yes, i get this,
"Operation could not be completed."
3. Firefox will not update itself. I go to About, it downloads the new update, and I click the Apply Update button. Firefox closes, and nothing happens. A few minutes later I click to run it, and it opens with a 'Software Update' window that says,
Update Failed
"The partial update could not be applied. Firefox will try again by downloading a complete Update"
...and that does not work.
I download the new version, and when trying to run it from Downloads, I get the error (as in #1 above):
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path of file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
When I go to the folder it's in and run it from there, it installs, but the problems persist.
4. I go to Help|Troubleshooting Information, and clicking the Reset Firefox button only closes Firefox. Clicking the Show Folder button doesn't do anything.
5. I used to be able to drag a url to the desktop, a folder or even a email, but now all I get the the O with a / through it.
6. I also used to be able to, when I click Browse on a site to upload a jpg or a gif, I could right click the file and open it in a photo viewing program (Irfanview or Paint), and now I get
"Windows cannot access the specified drive, path or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
I've created a new profile and it makes no difference.
I've disabled all add-ons and it makes no difference (I have to disable them manually).
The problems are there for different user accounts in Windows.
I've uninstalled Firefox, and removed the profile - rebooted and reinstalled it, but the problems persist.
What more do I have to do more to completely uninstall it?
I've kinda saved myself by using Firefox Portable, which I'm running from it's own directory. It runs as it should, but I'd prefer not to have to use it.
If i can't fix it, I'd like to completely uninstall Firefox, and just install it new and have it work properly. I have no (or only occasional minor) problems with Firefox on other computers. This computer is Win XP, fully updated

The post I was responding to said,
"Try to boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps. "
Somehow, I think that means Windows...
I've tried Firefox in Safe Mode - it makes no difference.

Safari will not open bookmark pages (nor will it post question!)9th time

Ok. I interrupted someone elses thread - partly I think because of the problem I am having it self in that it was - grab the page while you can! Any page.. and type like mad quick before it changes it's mind.
The problem - I recently got wire free netgear. Safari was working fine. In fact better than on my previous lap which would quite often tell me I was using an "unsupported browser".
Over the last few days Safari often refuses to open bookmarks and also sometimes headings on a web page e.g. after getting to the Apple page "Support" "Discussion".
So to get the pages I want I go to Google(if it decides to open my bookmark google) and try and re find bookmarks that it was opening perfectly well previously.
It tells me it cannot open the page as I am not connected to the internet. The internet connect is showing me that I am connected and when I go through diagnosis it often tells me that the internet connection seems to be working ok. But safari still will not open the page and is teling me I am not connected and so I go around in circles - and eventual open Opera in desperation which seems to work fine.
Having said all that Opera then started doing the same. I have contacted my broadband and they say that some people are experiencing problems with their emails at the moment. So I'm not sure now whether it is a bug in my browsers or a server problem or something else. It doesn't seem SO bad today but it is still a problem. Any ideas for a solution very grateful.

Gawd, how have you managed not to update it?! The current version is Version 3.1.2 (4525.22)!
Small wonder it won't work with 10.4.11.
Have you ever used Software Updater to check whether there are any updates available for your Mac?
I would recommend that you download the latest version from here:
http://www.apple.com/safari/download/
But please make sure that you download the version for Tiger and not for Leopard.
BUT before you do so, and before you install it, please go through the following routine:
Repairing permissions is an important part of regular maintenance, and should always be carried out both before and after any software installation or update.
Go to Disk Utility (this is in your Utilities Folder in your Application folder) and click on the icon of your hard disk (not the one with all the numbers).
In First Aid, click on Repair Permissions.
This only takes a minute or two.
Background information here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751
and here:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672
If you were having any serious problems with your Mac you might as well complete the exercise by repairing your hard disk as well. You cannot do this from the same start-up disk. Reboot from your install disk (holding down the C key). Once it opens, select your language, and then go to Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select your hard disk as before and click Repair.
Once that is complete reboot again from your usual start-up disk.
More useful reading here:
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1417
If all is OK, install the new Safari, and REBOOT, then repair permissions again.
