Templates in Dreamweaver have no locked regions

I recently reinstalled Dreamweaver CS4 on my Windows 7 machine and ever since it has been very glitchy. One major issue however is that when I create a new page from an existing template suddenly all the elements on the page are editable. No part of the code even appears greyed out.
HELP!

If when you specify the background image, it's being applied to an element that is OUTSIDE the editable region, it will be propagated to all child pages, as you describe.
Show us your page and its code, and tell us where you want the background image - that will let us see what is actually happening.

Windows 7 64 bit Dreamweaver CC 2014 & Lightroom 5: Trying to insert a lightroom web gallery into a template in Dreamweaver

I am using a template for my website in Dreamweaver CC 2014. I installed a lightroom 5 web gallery into the template. I have an editable region where my main content goes that is where I inserted the web gallery. The main content css height is set at Auto. The web gallery shows up but only the very top half of the gallery. The whole web gallery wont push down the main content section so you can see the whole gallery. If I set the main content at height 700px then the whole gallery shows up, but because this is a template it screws up all my other pages because of the height setting. I need that to be variable. What am I doing wrong?

Most likely that main content area also contains a floated element and you are not clearing the float before closing the main content container. Floated elements are removed from the normal flow. Being removed from the normal flow means that a container for that floated element does not regard the floated element as being in it, and will collapse around its non-floated content. To prevent this from happening you should clear the float before closing the container, e.g.,
<div>
<img src="very-tall-image.jpg" style="float:left">
<p>some content</p>
</div>
This div will only be as tall as the paragraph tag requires, thus truncating the image.
But here -
<div>
<img src="very-tall-image.jpg" style="float:left">
<p>some content</p>
<div style="clear:left;"></div>
</div>
This div will show the whole image.

Problem with templates in Dreamweaver...

I'm using Dreamweaver 8 and here is my dilema... Originally I
had my
template named something different. I changed the name of the
template and
now my other pages that run off that template wont work
because of this
code...
<html>
<head>
I obviously changed the name of the template so it is no
longer index2.dwt.
The problem is is that this code doesn't actually show up in
the template
itself it shows up in the pages that are using that template.
I want to
know how I go about changing this bit of code in all my pages
that use the
template without having to do it by hand. There must be an
easy way?
Thanks!
Chris Jumonville

Good luck!

How Do I Import A Photoshop CS4 Template into Dreamweaver CS4

Ok. Here's the deal, my friend and I spent alot of time working in Photoshop to come up with a nice template. He's even done all the coding to animate the buttons for standard, hover over, and click and all that. It's really cool, the buttons slide back and "lock" into place dependent upon which page you're on. However, I want to take all of that information and plug it into my website without loosing the button functionality. Unfortunately, every time I try to put the photoshop web template into Dreamweaver, it always converts it into an image. So, how do I add my complete photoshop web template and all it's functionality into Dreamweaver?

I'm afraid Photoshop is a graphics program ill suited for generating good HTML and CSS code. Use Photoshop to create your images only. Use DW to build your HTML, CSS and menus.
Have a look at this tutorial:

Problem applying Spry tool tips to child pages because the head tag is in a locked region

I’m new to DW and migrating a site from GoLive CS2 to DW CS5. The site uses templates created in GL CS2. I have stripped out as much GL stuff as possible.
I want to use the SPRY tooltips as a way to show captions for graphics that are on some of the pages (I used to use an Open New Browser window for that but I don’t have as much control in DW as I did in GL). But when I try to apply SPRY tooltips (or any SPRY widget for that matter) I get the following message:
“Required links could not be added to this file because the <head> tag is in a locked region. To insert this content, open the template file ‘xyz.dwt’ and either unlock the <head> tag or add this content to the template.”
I am not sure how to go about solving this problem. In the template there is an editable region for adding graphics but in the template itself there are no graphics or anything else to apply a tooltip too. Also in the child pages there may be more than one place to use a tooltip. So that suggests to me that I should not add a tooltip to the template. That brings me to the other option.
How would I go about unlocking the <head> tag in the template, without messing everything up?
Or, should I detach any page from the template when I want to add tooltips then reapply the template? I am planning to ditch the GL template anyway and apply a DW template to all the pages anyway.
Any suggestions as to what I should do?
Yours faithfully
Branko
PS I’m using Mac with Snow Leopard.

I found a solution.
I just made a transparent PNG. Put it in an inconspicuous part of the template. On the child page I could make as many copies as I needed making sure I provided id tags for each use etc.

CSS Template in Dreamweaver, cannot make flash(swf) show ???

Hi all,
I'm quite new at using dreamweaver, have been using GoLive
some before and I have got a time consuming problem:
To try to get a hang of CSS page designs I've used the Page
Design (CSS) Halo Right nav that comes with DW8.
I've learnt pretty much how it works BUT, I cannot make a
flash file visible when inserted to the page design ????
It does not show if I insert it to an existing div tag or if
I insert it in a new layer. What am I doing wrong ?
(same goes for images)
Need help quickly.
Thanks!

This is one of the several weird problems with the HALO
layout.

Edit template in Dreamweaver

I have always put <head> part of page in my template, this than makes this part the same on all pages using that template. But I've now been told that the Meta keywords should be match to keywords on individual pages, so how do I now make this part of the template nolonger part of the template? Without having to start from scratch. Sorry bit confusing but can't seem to get my head round it.

You can add an editable region for the Meta tags into your main Template.dwt file.
This is the code on a child page from my Template. Notice where the editable regions are.

Missing templates in Dreamweaver CC

I am in classes for Web Page Design, which comes with the Dreamweaver software. I have not received the software from my school yet, so I began using the Adobe Creative Cloud. My problem is, in Dreamweaver CC, I am missing a template I need. I need the 2 column fixed, left sidebar template that does not show up in my template list.
How can I get the Dreamweaver templates into Dreamweaver CC?

When you go through the document you will see <header> and <footer>. Remove the whole element between the opening and the closing tags as in
<header>
<a href="#"><img src="" alt="Insert Logo Here" width="180" height="90" id="Insert_logo" style="background-color: #C6D580; display:block;" /></a>
</header>
and
<footer>
<p>This footer contains the declaration position:relative; to give Internet Explorer 6 hasLayout for the footer and cause it to clear correctly. If you're not required to support IE6, you may remove it.</p>
<address>
    Address Content
</address>
</footer>
After having done that, view the result in a browser and you will notice that you have lost the background colour of the article classed as content. To fix that, add a background to content (near line 67) as in
.content {
    padding: 10px 0;
    width: 780px;
    float: right;
    background: #FFFFFF;

Problems when Creating Pages from Templates in Dreamweaver 8

When creating new pages from templates in Dreamweaver 8(Ver
8.0.2). The full path for images is not created
i.e. in template the code is <img src="main_page_logo.png"
width="814" height="172" longdesc="Main Page Logo" />
In the new file the code should be :-
<img src="../../Templates/main_page_logo.png" width="814"
height="172" longdesc="Main Page Logo" />
but only :-
<img src="main_page_logo.png" width="814" height="172"
longdesc="Main Page Logo" /> is in the code.
but this does work in Version 8.0.
Does anyone know of a setting or fix for this problem

> Does anyone know of a setting or fix for this problem
It was regarded as a bug in previous versions, and was fixed
in the 8.0.2
release. In normal circumstances, ALL links in a template
file must be
relative to the template document, not relative to where you
intend to save
the child pages. Thus, there would be no way to have a link
in your
template document like the first one you show, e.g.,
<img src="whatever.png"....
*unless* the file was actually in the Templates folder (a bad
idea).
In 8.0.2, you can set your PREFERENCES for the Templates
category to NOT
MANAGE relative links. Be aware that this may have unintended
consequences
for you - specifically regarding other relative links in your
site.

Photoshop templates to dreamweaver

Hello...when I drag the Photoshop template into Dreamweaver,
it becomes a jpeg. How can I use a Photoshop template in
Dreamweaver and have the capability to change the text and add text
over the template?? With the background as a jpeg, I cannot type
over it unless I use AP Div, which I don't want to use.
Thank you!

PLEASE HELP - Problem with 2 column fixed template in Dreamweaver CS3

I am trying to create a website using the 2 column fixed, right sidebar, header and footer html template in Dreamweaver CS3. I tried putting a picture in the right side bar as well as with in the main content or left portion of the page, and neither picture is showing up when I view it in any of the browsers I'm using.
I've made some minor changes in colors and sizing, but other than that no other changes. The pic I put in for the header is showing up just fine though.
Any help or advice to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Here is the base Dreamweaver code including the pic references that I'm trying to show on either side - when the browser opens, it only shows a blank space where the pics should be... let me know what you think. Thanks!!

Blog Starter Template in Dreamweaver CC

I am doing a favor for a co-worker. I am building her a website from scratch for a blog she wants to start regarding Real Estate Law. She already purchased a domain with Gator, therefore where I upload this site is already established. I was going to build this site in Muse, however I discovered Muse does not have a Blog Widget. So I'm going to build this in Dreamweaver and I noticed a Starter Template for Blogs, though it looks more of a layout. Once I upload and design this site for her it is out of my hands, and I want to know she can update her blog on her own. Is this blog template in Dreamweaver going to enable her to do so? If not, please advise on how I would go about doing that, thanks.

Many web hosts provide a one-button simple way of installing WordPress from your server's CPanel. Honestly, I think that's what your friend is going to need; not a Dreamweaver site.
Then find a free or commercial WP Theme with most of the functionality your friend's blog will require. If you can't find a Theme that contains everything on her wish list, fear not b/c there are plenty of WP Plugins or Widgets to fill in the gaps. Both Themes and Plugins are installed via the WP Dashboard.
