Templates for New Pages Not Updating

I am a site admin with 7 Contributors accessing my site via
Contribute 3. I have created templates for them to use to create
their new pages. These templates allow them to only edit text; they
cannot update styles or layout in any way. I have noticed that,
whenever I make updates to my templates and resave them out onto
the server, some of my Contributors will pick up the new template
and some will not. Is there any way to force them to pull the new
templates? I have asked them to all Refresh Templates before they
create new ones....they tell me that they have, but they are still
pulling the old template. This causes an issue because, if they
pull the old template, I have to open their page in Dreamweaver and
update the template. Doing this on 30+ pages each month gets quite
tiring and almost defeats the purpose of Contribute for me. Any
suggestions on this issue are much appreciated!

Perhaps - and this is just a guess - the template references
in the pages have got messed up. Something I've noticed is that
template names with spaces in them get messed up by Contribute. At
the top of each web page based on a template is the  tag. If the template name
in there contains spaces it will sometimes get URL-encoded, i.e.
spaces become %20, and then Dreamweaver no longer recognizes the
template name as matching the one you're editing. Best practice
seems to be a an all character template file name.

How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please. Thanks

Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
iWork > Pages
contenant Templates > My Templates
comme il y a un dossier
iWork > Numbers
contenant Templates > My Templates
Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
puis lancez la recherche.
Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
Pour moi il est temps de dormir.

We accidentally broke this, but it should be fixed shortly. You should not need to take any action... it will recover on its own within a day or so.
If you want to fix it yourself, you can edit the feed location to one that works. Right-click "Latest Headlines" and hit Properties. The Feed Location should be of the form:
http://fxfeeds.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/headlines.xml
(replace your locale... en-GB, es-ES, and so on)
There is a bugzilla bug on this as well, with a technical discussion of what happened: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692035.

How do I change the template for a pages document?

Once you've opened it, the opened document is no longer a template. Edit it as you would any other Pages document.
If you want to use the edited document as a Template, then , after editing, go File > Save as Template, give the new template a name, and click Save.
The old template will remain available in the location where you found it; the new one will be in the My Templartes sectionof the Templates Chooser.

How to crate a page template for multiple page instances?

Hello,
When I use the Administration Portal to create a page with portlets in the Portal Resource Library, I can choose to use that page it in my portal. The problem is that I can use it only once. How can I crate a page template with portlets so I can use use it as a template for many page instances in one portal?
I'm using Portal 8.1.6.

CSS for background image not transfering from template to new page

I have a gradient .gif in my templates which suddenly no longer transfers from the template to a new page created from the template. Everything else about the template transfers. I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 on a Mac running OS 10.6. I've pasted the CSS from the template and the new page below. I've tried the usual voodoo--restart program, restart computer, repair permissions, delete preference file, delete personal configuration file.
CSS from Template:
.container {
    background-color: #ececec;
    background-image: url(../images/faux_column.png);
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    height: 650px;
    width: 650px;
CSS from page created from Template looks to be the same, but is greyed out in the code, and the background-image entry is not present in the CSS styles inspector:
.container {
    background-color: #ececec;
    background-image: url(../images/faux_column.png);
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    height: 650px;
    width: 650px;
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, I don't yet have a site where I can post the page. I'm new to this, and doing everything locally for now.
After careful rechecking, I found that the links for the template and the child were not the same, as you suspected. So I carefully changed the links to site root relative, which worked for the background CSS in my test image. I then did the same for all of the links to pages on my site, and checked that all were OK with Link Checker in DW. I guess that was a mistake, because now most of them don't work when tested in Firefox--I get the message File not found. Must be doing something wrong.

Templates - pages not updating

Hi. I have created a simple webpage with a separate CSS file.
I have now saved this page as a template, the template folder is
created in my root directory and the template appears within this
folder. I now create a new page based on the template. This opens
and I save it as a new page in a new folder within my root
directory. If I close all pages and then open up the template and
edit some of the editable areas and then save it asks me if I would
like to update all the pages created by this template. I say yes,
however it will not update the pages. Also going into each page and
manually forcing an update doesn't work either. I have deleted the
pages and the template about five times and each time it still
doesn't work. Can't find an answer on this forum or the internet as
each soloution doesn't work either. Help!! Thanks.

Changes to editable regions of template files DO NOT
PROPAGATE TO CHILD
PAGES. It is only the changes to the non-editable regions of
the template
that propagate.
This is how templates have always worked. If it were not the
case, you
could never have unique content on any child page.
> Can't find an answer on this forum
There is a long thread just today about this exact topic -
Subject: Meta description

That's because there is no solution other than to learn how
to use
templates. That *will* work! 8)

How to set a page template for news detailed view?

Is there a way to set a page template for the detailed view of the news module?
I have a page template setup and added the {module_announcement,,,,,} to the page. When the news item is clicked it always opens the default template - is this how it is designed to work or is there a way I can specify it to use a different page template?
Dave.

Hey Dave, See the image below:

Since updating to iOS5 my safari boxes are now tabs at the top of the screen, can I go back to boxes for new pages?

Since updating to iOS5 my safari boxes to search new pages are now tabs at the top of the screen, can I go back to boxes for multiple internet pages?

You can open multiple tabs and switch back and forth like you use those boxes. In actual fact it's faster with tabs.

Dreamweaver Teamplate with Library Item for Navigation/Sidebar not updating editable classes

I have a Dreamweaver Template that contains two Library items. One Library item is my navigation bar, the other is a sidebar that shows different content depending on what page you are on. I'm assigning an editable class "active" to the navigation bar to show you are on a particular page, and also assigning the editable class "active" to the sidebar to reveal a portion of the sidebar with links pertaining to that specific page. The default value for the class is "hidden". So what is happening is when I open a page I have created and "edit" the Library Items in it to edit these classes, it resets resets all the other pages on the site to the default class values. How am I able to use editable classes and Library Items to achieve this kind of functionality? The idea is to only have ONE navigaton bar to update on the site and to only have ONE sidebar item to update. Here is an example of the sidebar and navigation in action so you can see what I'm going for. Notice the green button in the navigation bar (that is a list item with the class "active" which is an editable class in the Library Item, also notice the tan links in the sidebar, that is an unordered list that has an editable class of "active" in the Library Items --- these editable classes reset to their defaults when updating the Library Item on the website).
http://www.brumleve.org/joe/temp/CAP/mission.html

In my understanding, whenever you edit the contents of a library item, it will update all other occurances of this library item on the rest of the site. That's "working as designed" as far as I know, unless you break the link by telling it to not update - which kinda defeats the purpose I think.
But theres another way to do this using template properties, i#ve been using this approach myself a couple of times:
Write your navigation bar in the template (.dwt) file itself, then select the class= of your first menu item and choose .. (names might be off, I am using a non-English copy of DW): "modify > template > make attribute editable" from the main menu. Do so for all your menu items and name these new template properties something like "item_x_class"
You'll end up with something like this in your template source:
<div class="@@(item_1_class)@@">
and a matching
 in the header
Now, on each page, you can set the class within the template properties dialog ("modify > template properties"). If your main menu changes, it won't overwrite your template properties, but still update all pages when you do make a change to the menu.
If you're using multiple templates for your site, consider nesting templates, so the master template already includes your navbar and all subsequent templates will "inherit" changes to the navbar code (sans the editable class property).
Hope this helps.. or at least gives you an idea for further experiments..

Applying templates to new pages

Is there anyway to apply a template to a page when it is copied? for example, a new user registers, and their folder is created with index.php, wihch was copied from a source, which had a template applied to it. I don't understand why the template wouldn't also be applied to the index.php? I want to be able to update these pages all at once, instead of having to individually update each one.
thanks.

Your Files panel (F8) should look like this:
site - YourSiteName (C:\YourSiteName)
     index.html
     -OtherPages
          page1.html
          page2.html
     -Templates
          template.dwt
If your .dwt file is located in any location other than the Templates folder, it won't work.
Templates are not a server-side technology. Templates only work on local files in Dreamweaver.
I suggest you open your template and examine the code to ensure it is valid and that the Editable Regions are properly defined.
http://validator.w3.org/
Then open a child page made from that template to ensure it is pointing to the correct Template.dwt file in your Templates folder.
