Unable to Edit Template Properties

I have created an optional editable area in a DW template for
a submenu. It functions properly in DW when I create a new page and
go to Modify>Template Properties.
However in Contribute 4 (on a page created from this
template) when I go to Format>Template properties, I receive a
popup message that says "Unable to set Template Properties" ......
despite the fact that at the top of the page (in Edit mode), there
is a message that says "Some items on this page can only be edited
by setting Template Properties.
Here is a link to one of the pages
http://www.blackbusinesspro.com/events.html
Can someone tell me why the template properties have become
uneditable in Contribute 4 but are editable in DW?

Well, I just got Template Properties working .... not sure
how I did it.
The only change I made was to upload the templates associated
with the pages on this site (somehow I had neglected to do so).
Once the templates were uploaded, "Template Properties"
startedshowing up.
Go figure....!

Why do users get "unable to set template properties" message?

Hi there,
I am trying to administer a new site that was created with DW and has a .dwt (Templates/ locatedat the site root). I'm creating "Publisher" role connection keys so users can edit their subsections of the site. Users should be able to modify template properties when they edit/create new pages.
While testing the keys, the users report that they can connect and edit pages. However, when they try to modify template properties on either a new or existing page, they get this message "Unable to set template properties" and are prevented.
I've tried redefining the site and starting all over, tried CS3 vs. CS4 to see if it was a compatibility issue, looked at forum after forum but can't find any answers. I am experienced with DW but new to Contribute administration so I don't know what else to try. Hoping that someone will have encountered this before and can suggest a solution.
Thanks in advance!
ps- Let me know if there's other info I can provide to help troubleshoot.

I did find this April 9, 2009 post from majtom2grndctrl that suggests the issue is how contribute treats https:// sites. My site is set up as majtom2grndctrl described and I am having the same problem.
"I've got a problem with not being able to edit Template Properties on our test sites we host on HTTPS servers. I've narrowed down the problem to Contribute CS4 ignoring the website root configuration when it looks for the Templates folder. For example, say you have a site hosted at the following address:
https://www.yourdomain.com/yourfolder/
Contribute is configured to know your site is in /yourfolder/, but for whatever reason, when you open or create a page, and Contribute reads the InstanceBegin template="/Templates/file.dwt" tag at the beginning of HTML documents, it looks for a Templates folder at the HTTP server root, not in /yourfolder/. This prevents Contribute from loading the template while editing a document, and any attempt to edit Template Properties will yield the infamous "Unable to set template properties" dialog box."

Unable to set template properties

I have a site which is based off of a responsive design (HTML5/CSS3/jQuery). I've setup a nice template for our Contribute users however I get the "Unable to set template properties" error when I would try to enter the template properties. Additionally, repeating regions don't work at all. No error, nothing. They work great with Dreamweaver, but not Contribute.
I previously had this issue with an older (non-responsive) site which was based off of a Dreamweaver CS5.5 built in template. However with that site, I would get the following error when trying to work with a repeating region, "You can't add items to repeating regions because the draft's parent template is missing or not available to users in your role. Please contact the website administrator." I was able to fix this with the following Contribute 6.5 settings.
Users can ONLY be able to create new pages from copies of select pages. I just made blank versions of the templates I wanted people to use, and just saved them in the /Templates directory.
Be sure creating new pages from site templates is turned OFF.
Be sure creating new pages from content types is turned OFF.
This is not the case with the newer site. I've tried both transitional and compatibility modes in the Contribute site settings but still nothing.
Anyone experiencing this or have any fix ideas?

Update:
Looks like I'm going to have to settle on not using nested templates. I gave it a try with on a page from a single un-nested template and both template properties and repeating regions worked.
So now I'll be including all the global code via PHP includes rather than a master Dreamweaver template. Not sure how that will effect broken link reports or global link updates but it looks like it's the only solution for now.

Manage Profile Services - Unable to edit User Properties or User Profiles

SharePoint 2013 - fresh site, with Mysites, and the User Profile Service running. The UPS is ran under a separate account, and the farm account has securityAdmin rights and directory replication rights.
When I enter Manage User Properties, I get a complete list of properties but no way to edit them, the same happens when I go into User Profile Properties, there is no where to edit the users. Has anyone seen this before and if so what step have I missed
in setting the UPS and MySites Up.
Both Administrator and Farm Admin have Administrator rights to the UPS Application, and it's the Profile User Service that's running at the minute not the Profile User Synchronization Service.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
David

Thanks for the reply Adnan, however I think you missed the point. There is no capability to edit the properties, there's no dropdown to select edit form, in any of those areas against any of the properties. I can see them but not edit them.
It must be a permissions problem but I've no idea where it may lie.
Here's how the UPS and Mysites were built:
Created a separate user for the UPS account (UserUPS), and registered it as a Managed Service account.
Added Replicating Directory Changes to the Farm account.
Started the User Profile Service.
Created the UPS application using the UserUPS account for the application pool.
Configured the Directory Import - used SharePoint Active Directory Import.
Created a new Synchronization connection using the Farm account - it worked.
Ran the synchronization - it worked, everything was import.
Went into Manage Profile Service, Under People click on Manage User Profiles, entered a users name, clicked on it when it appeared - nothing, no edit capabilities at all.
So at a loss as to where I've gone wrong?
Ran Add-SPAdmin - it added the Farm account to the configuration db, and when I tried it against the Profile database it complained, basically saying not possible,
I'm out of ideas at the minute and need to get this working so we can use SharePoint to hold a Skills map.
Thanks
David

Unable to edit user properties in SBS Console (2011)

Hello,
When attempting to edit properties for a user in the SBS Console, I receive the following error: "Attempted to perform an unauthorized operation." This only occurs when attempting to edit the user account properties for this single user.
I understand that this may be a scurity permission problem in Active Directory Users and Computers, but I do not know which permission entries would cause this. Is this where I need to look or is there another way to resolve this?
Thanks in advance.

Unable to edit file properties in Search results

When I access a folder normally, I'm able to update a file properties but if try the same from the search results the dialog is read-only. I also can't open the properties dialog from Windows Photo Viewer, if the picture was opened from the search
results.
An example of the issue is if I search for pictures with a rating i.e.
type:jpg rating:1
I can't change the rating of an incorrectly marked jpg without going to it's folder and right clicking on the file directly.
I've tried rebuilding the search index but this hasn't fixed the issue.
Is anyone else having these issues?

Unable to edit slide properties - Edit is dimmed

Can anybody clue me in to why my Edit button would be dimmed? None of the slides are locked. By clicking on 'Select All', the Edit button activates, but of course then I can only edit all slides -
Can someone tell me how to remove media from a slide if I can't get to the Properties of the slide??
This is driving me nuts - why can't I edit properties of slides?
Attached a screenshot.
Thanks for the vent

Poregon,
That's okay...venting is good.
After looking at your screen shot, I'm wondering how you ended up w/ the Edit button at all. By default, the Slide Manager dialog box should have only showed the "Select All" button...and then, and ONLY then, the Edit button would have appeared. And for what its worth, the default functionality of the Slide Manager is to provide slide-by-slide adjustment to it's properties such as setting the slide title, advancing by user and locking a slide, just to name a few.
The Edit button (once you've selected more than one slide) will only allow you to modify the presenter's info, lock slide and advance by user options, so it's pretty restricted in terms of the parameters you can set over multiple slides.
And unless I'm completely wrong, as far as "removing media from a slide" is concerned, that's not something the Slide Manager is capable of doing.
What you're seeing in the listing of multimedia assets in the Slide Manager dialog box is simply a visual feedback element; meaning, that the Slide Manager is just visually identifying the kinds of things that your slides are using....like audio, animation and flash files. But if you want to manage those assets, you need to look in the appropriate places...like the Edit Audio or Edit Flash dialog boxes. In order to eliminate a flash file, all you have to do is go to the slide where the flash file exists and simply delete it from the slide. Same thing goes for animations; and since those are PowerPoint items, that's a simple matter of eliminating any custom animation applied to objects and elements on your slide(s). As for deleting audio, that's slightly tricker, because you have to use the Edit Audio dialog box....and from there you can cut audio or replace an audio segment with silence. In a worst-case scenario, you might find yourself having to delete the slide that contains audio you want to eliminate...only to recreate that same slide, so that you end up with a slide that doesn't contain any audio at all.
Hope that helps!

Unable to Edit Title Properties

I've never ran into this issue before, but I'm in the title designer in Premiere Pro CS6 and cannot make any changes to the font color/shadow/anything. I'm sure there's a simple fix but it's really stressing me out trying to figure it out.

Hi,
Please check this blog regarding CC application and OS X Yosemite.

You can also, try the step mention below and check if it helps.

In my template, the code is grayed out and I am unable to edit it. How do I unlock the code?

I have a website based on a template. (Dreamweaver CS6). Just recently, the "code view" in the template is grayed out, and I am unable to edit it. I can edit the template in design view. I would appreciate suggestions of how the code got grayed out- or locked up. Thanks in advance.

Thanks everybody- I found a thread on a forum which solved my problem. In Dreamweaver: Commands → Clean Up HTML → (make sure non-Dreamweaver Comments" is checked. This clean up made the template then editable.
Thanks everyone.

Unable to edit header regions of template

I have just recently taken over the whole editing etc, publishiing , admin of some websties. i have purchased contribute CS5. I was previously using Contrbute 4, which allowed me to edit the whole of the pages'header, body etc..' however, whereas the consultant adminsitrator allowed me to edit the header regions, I now do not seem to be able to do this in CS5. Is it because the administrator has done something to stop me or am I missing some vital bit of info. I can edit the content. The old administrator is acting as if I never could do this and says I need to use Dreamweaver, which I dont have and didnt need it before, I have open the index page in dreamweaver and I still find that I am unable to edit the header and it appears to be try to access an included file, it is trying to access Templates/base.dwt trouble is this does not exist among the files, any idea's why this might be so or is there some trick to editing the headers now that I am missing, cheers in addvance
dustin

Hi Dustin,
You can edit the existing template in the Dreamweaver as for you requirement, by creating connection to that site in Dreamweaver.
While saving the template, Dreamweaver will prompt you, asking for updating the pages using this template. You can update all the pages using that template. So then changes you did in the template will be reflected in those pages.
For example, if you place the Header part in Editable region and save the changes and update in all the pages, then when you edit those pages, the header part will be editable.
Hope this helps you.

Unable to edit

I am a complete novice to Dreamweaver so please bear with me.
I am trying to edit some pages (.php files) for my employer. I was
able to edit the index.php file but none of the others. All of the
html code is greyed out except certain areas and unfortunately, the
part I need to change is greyed out. I am completely unable to edit
any of the greyed areas. I've looked all over to see if there's a
way to unlock the code but I can't see anything. Does anyone have
any suggestions?

If you do not have the associated Template file, it *MAY* be
a trivial
matter to recreate it. We would need to see the code on the
page to know
whether that's possible, though.

Unable to edit html file

Hi,
I downloaded an html file from our server to edit the logo. However, I am unable to edit the logo part. It's like commented out. And once I opened the file on Dreamweaver CS5, I am getting this pop-up message:
"This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again."
I can't edit the html file and change the logo. Please help.
Thank you and God bless!
Dannie

Dannie,
Are you familiar with dreamweaver templates and editable regions? If the logo is in the template, then you need to modify the template file. The changes you make to the template will automatically be propogated to all of the files which use the template. If your html file uses a template, the html code will look like its commented out.
Also, you should not have to download the html fiile from your server because you should always keep a copy of all the html files on your computer.
I don't know about the SWF error.
Good luck.
