Templates not updating other documents

Help please. my site that has three templates - 1 main and two nested are not updating the children pages. what could possible cause this?

PLEASE - don't use nested templates! Why have you? They are and will be trouble for you.
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?

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer
First i install CS6 on the new computer
copy the projects
import the websites
Now, when i change any template the pages do not update any more. New pages working correct. Also manuell updating works.
Any Idea?
Where are the info about the join template and the pages. Seems on the old computer - but where?
Thx

hm?
now I made a new page from the template on the new machine - and find one difference:
New Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>....
Old Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>...
The slash / after template=" is not there on the new machine. If i remove the slash on the copied pages and restart dreamweaver then it works. A lot of work, but i can solve my problem this way.
Maybe there is some checkbox for path handling...?

Whenever i try to update my macbook pro, it downloads then says I need to restart my computer. I restart the computer, and everything just freezes. When my computer eventually turns back on, its not updated. other apps i try to download dont download also

First, do the following:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
When you complete the above re-download your OS X upgrade (not sure which one that is, but I assume Mavericks.) After the download is completed re-install it. Hopefully, this time it will do what you expect.

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.

When I update template, it does not update other pages

I have created a template .dwt (XHTML) and have some .html pages. The problem is when I update the .dwt (XHTML) pages it does not update the other pages. I have tried everything but the other pages do not update. Could it be something to do with the folder files on the right which aren't selected properly? If so how do I update my source folder so that this will work?

Hi,
When you update a template, do you get dialog to update the other files? Launching those html files, do you see those related to your template?
Please also provide more information like which version of Dreamweaver are you using and on which platform?

Why does updated template not affecting other pages?

I changed the organization's address on the template's footer section and clicked "apply template to pages" under "modity-->template". This should change the address in other pages. But it had no effect. What didn't I do right?

Just to verify, you're talking about your local files, right? Templates do nothing on a server is the reason I ask.
Simply saving a change to a .dwt template will update any child page that was created using it. You shouldn't need to go into any menu to make the child pages update.
My guess would be that the template .dwt has been moved out of the DW generated Templates folder in your local site root.

Template Not Updating Files

I am helping someone with implementing CSS on a website. She
created the entire site in Dreamweaver MX using one dreamweaver
template. I did a remote get of all the files from her ftp site,
including the template file. So now I have the entire directory
structure on my local computer as is what is on the server.
I opened her template file and added a link to the style
sheet I created. However when I went to save the template file,
dreamweaver didn't ask me if I wanted to update the files that were
created previously with this same template. What could be causing
the template to not update all of the HTML files associated with
it? Is it because they weren't created on my local machine?
Please help a VERY FRUSTRATED guy :-)

This is the problem - look at the markup below. You say that
this is a child
page, yet the markup still uses -

charset=iso-8859-1">

Template not updating html.

I now have about 50 total pages ready to upload to my host,
and have a huge problem. Seems that all the images, and links are
going to: file:///C|/Documents and Settings/ bla bla !! I did a
find and replace, on my templates but it does not update the html
in the pages themselves. And I cannot edit the editable area's via
code. Please tell me I don't have to start from scratch!? I have
already done so twice, and I'm afraid a third time is just out of
the question.

> file:///C|/Documents and Settings/ bla bla !!
This is pointing to your hard drive. Are you working in a
defined DW site?
Is the Template folder in the root of your site?

Remote file template not updating on website

Hello I am very very new to dreamweaver and have been handed a website that I have to maintain and make changes to.
The website uses a template called index with further nested templates as shown
The index template contains the code for the Menu Bar and footer and although I have been able to make other updates and changes I am finding that any changes to the code on this template do not show up on the site. The strange thing is that both the local and remote code has updated as I would like it is just the website itself that is not changing. When I view the website source code it is different to the remote file code. I assume that the link between the two is somehow broken but I do not know how to fix it. Is there a trick to fixing such a problem or am I wrong about this being the problem?
Here is the remote file code which is that same as the local code - I have out the code that is not updating in bold and underlined it:

Thanks to this geographical position UNIVPM has many collaborations with these companies and it has matured a vast skill on research topics related to the household appliances field. UNIVPM has 5 faculties, 550 professors (the largest is the Engineering Faculty with 180 professors), 12 technical Departments and 17,000 students; it participates to 23 academic spin-off. The central administration of UNIVPM has a management department which gives support to technical departments in European project set up, negotiation and administration of the grant agreement, draft and negotiation of the consortium agreement as well as project financial reporting. In this project will be involved the Department of Mechanics that has a remarkable experience on European Projects since it has been coordinator of 6th and 7th FP projects and it is involved in 9 active European projects. In particular, UNIVPM coordinates the G.EN.ESI project from an administrative and technical point of view.</p>

Thank you in advance for your help

Jon Fritz that did actually work for some of the pages but not others. I upadted each invidivual page, except the main page as I have not finished the content and now some of the pages are acting strangely.
Here is the website http://www.genesi-fp7.eu/index.html
As you can see every page except the 'Contacts' and 'Links' page is now reading the correct code when you click on the 'Consortium' tab. The strange thing however is that the footer has updated on the 'Links' page suggesting that this part of the template has updated. Both these pages are based on the Index-misc nested template. The code is copied here:

      <h1>Introduction to the G.EN.ESI Project</h1>
      <p>The sustainability of industrial products, particularly household appliances, is an important issue today. Energy consumption in the residential/domestic sector is about 20% of world consumption, and associated greenhouse gas emissions exceed 35%.   Household appliances contribute greatly to these values and thus require particular attention as far as sustainability is concerned.</p>
      <p>It is well known that decisions taken during the early design of products are very important in determining total product cost. It is possible to hypothesize the same for environmental impacts – i.e. the sustainability of a product is largely determined during the early design stage. In order to allow designers to make well-informed decisions, new design methods and tools are needed to provide the basis for determining the degree of sustainability of a given product or process. Many eco-design procedures and tools have been developed but they are often far from a practical day-by-day application in company engineering departments, and they are not well integrated with computer-aided design tools.   This project wants to make up for this limitation and to develop an eco-design methodology (called G.EN.ESI) and a related software design tool (called the G.EN.ESI platform) able to help product designers in ecological design choices, without losing sight of cost and typical practicalities of industry. The software platform will propose a guided process towards eco-design among several design choices based on the different scenarios of product lifecycle. The proposed approach will be applied to the household appliance field but it can be easily extended to other mechatronic products.</p>
      <p>The project started in February 2012 and will continue until January 2015.</p>

Murray do you suggest that I try and get rid of the nested templates or am I biting off more than I can chew after two days of self training?

Template not updating child pages

Hi, here's a link to the conundrum:
http://theexperience-exchange.co.uk/stop.html
This page (as are a few others) is based on a template document (stored in a Templates folder in the site root).
I added an editable region in the form of a new div with some text etc. When I do a 'save' I get the update files dialogue box, but it doesn't update the child pages.
I did look on the forum for an answer, althought there are similar examples of this issue, they don't seem to have had any dircet help.
As ever, any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I'm signing off for the night, catch up with you all in the morning.
Thanks in anticipation
RP

Let's start with the obvious things.
1. Are you sure you're editing the correct template.dwt file?
Your Stop.html page is referencing this one. internal_pages.dwt
2. After saving your template and updating the child pages, did you upload the child pages to your server?

Dreamweaver templates not updating on second installation

I have just purchased the new Dreamweaver CS5.5. I installed it on my laptop first and it is working fine. However the package is not working correctly on my husband's laptop. He is finding that the templates are not updating the files despite going through the process. I am the 'techie' in our partnership and I did make sure both installations were identical.
Updates we are trying to make are outside of the editable regions.
It has taken me years to get him to accept an update for this programme, and now it doesn't work for him, he is not well pleased at me spending hundreds of pounds, when the Dreamweaver MX2004 worked well for him.
Please can someone point me in the right direction to put this right.
Jean

We are not working on the same templates. In our partnership, I build the templates and then turn them over to my husband to input the content. The particular problem we are incurring at the moment is on a fully functioning website. We noticed that on changeover from Dreamweaver MX2004 to CS5.5, the css file wasn't being read, the difference being:
from <link type="text/css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" href="/styles/style.css" />
to <link type="text/css" media="all" rel="stylesheet" href="../styles/style.css" />
don't really understand this, but having updated the template, the dialogue box came up asking if you want to update all files connected to template, said ok, and the finish dialogue box says 211 files updated. But when you open the file it hasn't actually updated at all.
Website looks ok online now as he has went back to MX2004 to upload a new page.

Files using template not updating after moving

On this site "C" (see link) site I want to move the Template&Library folder and get them inside the local root folder, which is actually "Os". When I move it in DW the links are updated nice - but when I change the template, the files using it are not updated. Anyone care to tell me how to move these two folders to Os folder and not experiencing this problem?

You should never had a folder named "public_html" in a properly defined site.
And "Os" is not the root folder of the C site. You would need a NEW site definition with Os as the root for the Templates to work properly.

Template not updating meta tag info.

I use DW MX on PC w/XP Home OS -- in the event that this info
makes any difference.
I updated meta tag info in a template then applied it to all
the child pages. The changes were not propogated. I've looked over
the info at "Template child pages are not updated when parent
template is changed," from
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=dd83ba8b
I haven't done any of the boo-boos on the list other than to
recreate the cache file (#6) -- to no avail I might add...
Any suggestions?

do most SE's locate sites/info?
By using links from other sites, or domains that have been
submitted to
them. The former method is MUCH faster than the latter. If I
put a link to
a client site on my site, it's spidered in days/or a few
weeks at most.

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 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)
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?

Template not updating pages on save

I created a template, then created pages based on that template. I make a change to the template, save, it says it will update my 10 pages, then the log shows that 0 pages were updated. I check the pages, they didn't update. What's the problem? Why are my pages not updated?
Thanks,
KoffeeKat

Dreamweaver Template not updating pages error code 2?

Hi All
I wonder if someone can help me - I have a site that i made with Dreamweaver. I then got a new computer (windows 7) and updated my dreamweaver from cs4 to cs5. I have just tried to update my pages and it doesnt seems to be working.
Not sure what information you need - but I have a root folder and within the root site there is a folder with Templates and the templates have the extension .dwt
I have read some posts that say recreate the cache which i have tried - this hasnt worked
I then read another post that says you can update the pages by Modify > templates > Update Pages..
When i tried this I get the update dialog box, but when i try to update the pages i get the following error message:
"error accessing file - (name of the dwt file), file not found, error code 2"
Can i ask the what is the error code 2 - i mean is there any information about the error code which will help me to resolve my templates not being found? as i am bit stuck...
Would appreciate any help on this and thank you in advance
Regards
Lorna

I would like further help with the issue Guy McMickle identified.
When I update links to my two template files I receive the above Error Code 2 message four times. There are 22 page files based on these templates.
The <!-- InstanceBegin template... code does not exist in either of the template files. I does, however, show up in every one of the 21 files that were created from one of the two templates. In these files it shows up in uneditable header code.
Why does the error code only show up four times? If the instanceBegin code is only generated when a file is created based on a template, how can it be avoided or corrected?
