Trouble with DW template

I have a template im using - i have a strange problem with
one part. I have 3 buttons driven by css, js and uses cookies - now
they allow the user to reverse contrast enlatrge text. when i use
the template the button icons don't appear only the aly text.
what am i donig wrong?
any ideas much appreciated

> allow the user to reverse

random guess- the buttons are generated by a linked .js
script and the path
to it is wrong?

Trouble with dreamweaver templates

I am modifying a site which is stored remotely.
I'm having no problem working with the site generally (I've
been uploading test pages and they run fine, can download pages
onto the local machine etc), but when I try to use a template to
design a page I run into problems in that I can't access the
templates remotely.
When I go to file->new->Templates I can access local
templates and use them fine, but I can't get to the remote
templates (they aren't listed). Of course, if I use the locally
stored templates then the sites have all the links relative to the
template on the local machine.
Any help would be great
Cheers,
Adam

> How do I use these templates?
Download them to your local site, and use them locally.
> <img src="../../image1.jpg">
A template can never contain a link like this. Since all
templates must be
in the Templates folder, and the Templates folder is in the
root of the
site, all links in a template MUST be like this -
<img src="../image1.jpg....
or like this -
<img src="/image1.jpg....
or occasionally (and rarely) like this -
<img src="image1.jpg....
That's your only options.
> <img src="file:///C|/My%20Documents/image1.jpb>
That means you have neither properly defined your site, nor
properly placed
the template file into the Templates folder (and it probably
means you
haven't read the F1 Help pages about templates, too).

Templates only have local action, as you have been told. They
only work
INSIDE DW, on your local files, which must then be uploaded
to the server
once they have been changed. There is never a need to upload
the template
files (the *.dwt files) themselves, other than to share them
with someone.

Issue with nested templates, CS6

About the same time that I upgraded to CS6 my customer wanted to completely redesign their website and now I am having trouble with nested templates not updating pages.
I have my main template that has the site wide banner and horizontal menu, then I have other templates based on the original that have different verticle menu bars on the left. B/C I wanted to be able to make different menu bars I had to put in an editable region. NOW I am reading that the reason my nested template isn't updating is b/c the info in an editable region.
In my last version of Dreamweaver I used some kind of code that included "@@" (can't remember the exact code off the top of my head but when I tried putting that in the new site I was told it was "unacceptable" or something like that.
Can someone give me a clue here? When I make updates to "subtemplate" it ask me if I want to update files, I say yes, it shows me all the files that are linked to that template but doesn't update them.
Thanks,
Carol

Is this the code you're looking for?:
@@(<samp class="codeph">"</samp><samp class="codeph">")</samp>@@

Having trouble with Dreamweaver and fireworks willing to pay for support

I'm new to the forum and i was hoping to get some help with
dreamweaver and fireworks.
I built a site on my own using dreamweaver 3 years ago but
have forgotten almost everything. I am planning on building a new
web site and have been messing with dreamweaver for over a week
trying to figure it out, with little success. I bought a web
building package years ago that included fireworks, dreamweaver,
freehand and maybe more, but i lost my books on dreamweaver and
fireworks somehow.
Anyways, I was trying to learn dreamweaver 3 and fireworks
and was having a lot of trouble with it. The dreamweaver bible
assumes you know how to make a navigation bar using fireworks and
that simply isnt the case for me. So I need help with that.
Also, i have been having trouble with my template. This is
how you save your basic page correct? For some reason it doesnt
save the whole page for me. I figured out the editable regions
part, I think, but since i didnt know how to make a navigation bar
I made my own links out of text, and this part isnt saving with the
template.
I have a lot more questions but i think ive taken enough of
your time. I am willing to pay someone to help me build this site,
i cant afford a lot but i think my questions are pretty basic.
Thanks

There is a recent thread on the FW forum that may interest
you - it's called
"Firworks and HTML". The advice there applies in your case,
too.
One problem with your use of DW3 is this -
the browser world has changed quite a bit in the almost 10
years since DW3
was released. Some (many?) of the behaviors in DW3 simply
won't work any
more because of these (significant) changes. Are you
absolutely locked into
using DW3?

Trouble with Time Machine/Time Capsule try Backup instead

Trouble with Time Machine preparing to download taking hogging your system followed by errors that don't make any sense even if you look at the console logs to try to figure out. Try Backup instead.
Find the software here:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/application_updates/backup312.html
It allows you to configure when to do back ups and specific data you want, and includes templates for configurations to make it easy. The only catch is you loose the Time Machine benefits of restoring an individual file easily. For me it gets around the issues w/ Time Machine hogging my system resources (Finder at 98% CPU cycles both cores) while "preparing backup", followed by strange failures that can't figure out, followed by more "preparing backup".

I was running backup instead of time machine until I saw snow leopard had time machine improvements. I'm very happy with the performance so far w/ snow leopard (OS X 10.6) time machine performance.

Corrupt document gets created in document library with document template using createlistitem workflowaction in visual studio workflow for office 365 solution

Hi,
My requirement is to create a document library associated to a custom content type with a document template associated. Also I need to create a document based on the template in this document library when a new item is created in another list by taking the
reference ID of that new Item , I need to create the document with the name appended by ID. I need to do all this deployment using WSP.
I have created document library with document template associated to content type by following instructions in below stated blog :http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chaks/archive/2011/05/19/deploying-a-document-template-file-in-content-type-in-a-office365-sandboxed-solution.aspx
This works perfect for me.
However, there are few observations, when going to Document Library > Library Settings > Advanced Settings > Document Template section - doesnt shows the Edit template link. When tried to look at the value for the document template using view source
, it is giving me /Lists/MyDocsListInstance/Forms/template.dotx instead of the actual template file uploaded.
Ignoring the above observation, when I am trying to create a sandbox based workflow in visual studio to create document in document library when new item is created in another list, I provide the ContentTypeID as the ID associated with the document library
with template.
It creates the corrupt document at end of workflow.
I have tried using .docx instead of .dotx files for workflow as per solution provided in some of the post but it isnt resolving my issue.
Any help is much appreciated.
Regards,
Krutika

OK, I am going to throw out a lot of ideas here so hopefully they get you closer to a diagnosis. Hang on :)
Does it happen to work for some users but not others? If so, try logging in on the "good" computer with the "bad" username. This will tell you if the problem is related to the end-user's system. Also, once the user downloads a document
successfully can they open and work on it in Word? Also, does the document library have any custom content types associated with it or does it just use 'Document'?
I notice that there are other folks on the web that have run into this same problem and the similarity seems to be that they are either on SharePoint 2007 or have upgraded from 2007. Did this doc library start out as a 2007 library?
What you might want to do is this: Make a site collection from scratch in 2013 (or find one that you know was created in 2013). Choose team site (or whatever you want) for the root web and set up the security the same way you have it on the malfunctioning
library. Now, use windows explorer to copy and paste some of the documents to the new location. Be sure you recreate any needed content types. Now test it from the troubled user's computer.
I'm thinking there may be something that is different about the library since it was migrated through various versions and updates since 2007. I've sometimes found that there can be problems (especially with user profiles but that's a different story) with
things that go through this evolution.

Trouble with PDF fonts - fields only

We're having trouble with our PDFs once the data is merged into the PDF template. All of the merged data appears cut in half in the form fields so only the top half of the letters are shown; the rest of the document is fine. We think this could be due to a font issue, but loading different fonts haven't seemed to make any difference. Could this be caused by anything besides the fonts?
Thanks!

Pdf is designed for presenting information graphically to reduce the file size. This reduction is achieved by making it an uneditable - something that comes in handy if you don't want people to alter your content.
You can (using a pdf writter) create pdf forms where information can be added in to a text field or box. However if you want to edit the content from a pdf file then you could select the text and copy and paste it in to a document like Pages or Word and then re-export when you're finished.
But I'm affraid you can't edit pdf as such - this is the case on Macs and PCs. If you need to edit documents on different platforms then you'll need to find a common editor. There's Office for Mac (student teacher versions) or you could try OpenOffice Org - it's free, works on both Macs and PCs, and will convert most Word documents provided there's not too many tables or a complex layout format.
Hope this helps

Newbie having trouble with opt/rep regions

Hi everyone. I'm migrating my site from simple, square html
to nice, elegant css. I've done most of the work, but I'm having
some trouble with templates. Here's an example of how a page
created with a template will (hopefully) look:
http://www.technfun.com/temp/example.html
I've succeeded in making the article region (inside the white
frame) editable, but I can't figure out how to handle the side bar
menu. It's supposed to contain links to the chapters and
subchapters of the main article, so that clicking there will bring
you to the right place in the page (a simple # link, in other
words). However, the article writer (me) needs to be able to add as
many "SidebarLarge" entries as necessary. Under each of those there
may or may not be the need to add "SidebarSmall" entries for
subchapters.
I read the help file and figured out I need to do something
with the optional and repeating region settings, but whenever I try
I only ever manage to make a mess of the sidebar. Anyone can tell
me how exactly I'm supposed to do this?
Thanks :)

Why not just make the whole sidebar an editable region
instead? Then you
can add as much stuff as you see fit.

Trouble with LR 5.7

I Have a Mac running OSX Lion. Have had LR with no issues but with LR 5.7, when I am in the print module, I am unable to drag photos from the filmstrip to the preset layout templates. Any ideas? Does anyone know if LR 5 has compatibility issues with OSXLion?

Upgraded to LR 5 from 4. Now on LR 5.7... Having trouble with Print module. Preview and final result are not the same. The print is a cropped version of the preview.
Printer is and Epson Photo R2880 and Imac OSX version 10.9.5

Help! I'm having trouble with images on my web page.

I'm trying to create a page with a bunch of my photos but I need the photos broken up into groups so I can discuss the different groups. So I simply cut and paste the photo area several times BUT now when I click on any picture in any group it only does a slideshow for the last group of photos.
I guess I could simply break the single page into multiple pages but that is so inconvenient in iWeb since it doesn't let you cut and paste template pages! Apple needs to seriously fix this shortcoming. How can you not allow cutting and pasting of pages??
Here's the page I'm having trouble with:
http://photo.braintransplants.com/Site/Astronomy.html
Thanks!
PowerBook G4 17 (A1085) 1.5 GHz / 1.5 GB RAM / 128 MB VRAM / 80 GB HD Mac OS X (10.4.2)

You probably realise by now that you're attempting to do things with iWeb which it just wasn't intended to do. Cutting and pasting the photo grid area just won't work as you want it to. To work within iWeb's limitations might i suggest that you use the 'nesting' approach described in several posts here already. Use a single representative image on your main page for each of the situations you want to cover, and link each of these to an appropriate Photo page which has 'Include page in navigation menu' unchecked.
You could add a link on each of the Photo pages which returns to your main descriptive page.

Viewing Troubles with CSS web

Hello,
I am still having trouble with a web page that I was asked to
redesign. I decided to implement CSS into the page to change the
appearance and navigation, however, the javascript (inherited) that
was used on the page is having problems. I don't not know
javascript, therefore I really can't address that issure right now.
The page is centered in all of the browsers, along with the
header and the container for the tab menu. The issue is the other
containers that have side navigation or the content within the tab
menu container.
My concern is that the page is viewing correctly in IE6 and
Opera but not in Netscape and Firefox. When I preview the page in
the browsers, I get an error message in the status bar "done but
errors on page" (still views correctly in IE & Opera).
Hopefully, this all makes sense and everyone is not off
enjoying pre-4th July celebrations to respond. -Thanks!
css style

Did you post a link to your page?

Problem of building .exe with VI template as subVI

I'm having trouble to successfully build an .exe with VI template as a subvi. Please see the image for the error when executing the built file.
In my toplevel VI, I use two subpanels (side by side comparison), each subpanel loads the same subVI (saved as template in order to show the front panel). The code executes beautifully in development mode, but once it is built into executable (the subvi is added as dynamically loaded vi), only one subpanel loads the subvi, the other one is just blank, and an error message is displayed.
I understand there are other options here, but I would like to see if there are solutions before considering an alternative route. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
System
setup: WinXP Pro SP1 with LV7.
Thank you,
-Joe

Hi Joe,
We've seen this error when using express VI's inside of template VI's which are loaded using VI server. Are you doing that? If yes, then take all the express VIs that are inside the template VI and turn them into static subVIs.
I don't know if it will help in your case, but let's try it.

This ipod holds huge sentimental value and i am loathe to buy a new one! If anybody can help it is greatly appreciated, than kyou in advanced.

its a BI Publisher report.
please suggest

if you have data in db then you can create xml with needed structure
and so you can create bip report
do you have errors or .... ?

[ 481.799166] hub 3-1:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 3
Searching on the web, most results I found lead to this page, where it is said that the problem is due to badly tuned overcurrent protection, and advocated that unplugging and switching off the computer for a little while gets things back into normal. This does not really work for me; the problem seems to occur more randomly, unfortunately with high probability (my camera is available after less than one boot out of ten).
I tried to ensure that the ehci-hcd module is loaded at boot with the ignore-oc option (with a file in /etc/module-load.d/), to no avail.
I also wrote a script which alternatively removes and reloads the ehci-pci driver until my device is found in lsusb. It is sometimes helpful, but usually not. And even when my device is found that way, it can only be used for a while before disappearing again.
Anyway, such a hack is unacceptable... So, my questions are:
is it indeed related to overcurrent protection ?
is there anything else I can try ?
should I file somewhere an other of the numerous bug reports about "unable to enumerate USB device" already existing ?
If of any importance, I am running linux 3.15.7, because at the time I installed my system, I couldn't get the hybrid graphic card Intel/AMD working under 3.16.
