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.

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 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....!

OMB: unable to set SQLLoader properties in a Mapping (TRAILING_NULLCOLS...)

Hello,
I've created a Mapping from a Flatfile to a table.
Since SQL-Loader is used I have to set several properties (TRALING_NULLCOLS, FILELOCATION, etc)
However, every property I try to set fails by the same error:
OMBALTER MAPPING 'MAP_DIM_UNIT_TEST' \
SET PROPERTIES (TRAILING_NULLCOLS) VALUES ('true')
--> OMB02902: Error setting property TRAILING_NULLCOLS of MAP_DIM_UNIT_TEST: MMM1034: Property TRAILING_NULLCOLS does not exist.Reading and setting these properties on Mappings created by the Design Center was no problem.
What am I missing?
When configuring a Mapping in the Design Center I have to create the "SQL Loader Data Files".
Maybe that's got something to do with it. I have no idea how to do that with OMBPlus.
Any clue?
Regards
uhuebner

Hi
You should set the GENERATION LANGUAGE property to SQLLOADER for the map. The property set is different depending on the type of the map, the UI does some tricks I think and sets up, but the API does not (it does at certain points like generation/validation).
Here are some other snippets you will find useful.....
1. To add a source data file to a mapping:
OMBALTER MAPPING 'LOAD_LOCATIONS' ADD SOURCE_DATA_FILE 'LOCATIONS_APAC'
2. To define the discard file info
OMBALTER MAPPING 'LOAD_LOCATIONS' MODIFY SOURCE_DATA_FILE 'LOCATIONS_APAC' SET PROPERTIES (DISCARD_FILE_LOCATION,DISCARD_FILE_NAME) VALUES ('APAC_FILE_STG_LOC', 'apac_discard.txt')
3. To define the data file info
OMBALTER MAPPING 'LOAD_LOCATIONS' MODIFY SOURCE_DATA_FILE 'LOCATIONS_APAC' SET PROPERTIES (DATA_FILE_LOCATION, DATA_FILE_NAME) VALUES ('APAC_FILE_STG_LOC', 'apac_data.txt')
4. To define the bad file info
OMBALTER MAPPING 'LOAD_LOCATIONS' MODIFY SOURCE_DATA_FILE 'LOCATIONS_APAC' SET PROPERTIES (BAD_FILE_LOCATION,BAD_FILE_NAME) VALUES ('APAC_FILE_STG_LOC', 'apac_bad.txt')
5 To query the files it is not obvious (or consistent with other commands)...
OMBRETRIEVE MAPPING 'SR_AGS_LDR' GET SOURCE_DATA_FILE
Notice the 'GET SOURCE_DATA_FILE' is singular even though it possibly return a list (in most other commands some form of the plural is used ie. GET TABLE OPERATORS).

Unable to set properties of Namespace-Objects

hi,
i've run into a problem with the Namespace-objects. I'm
unable to set the uri- or the prefix-property - but acording to the
api - they should be writable.
var ns:Namespace = new Namespace("aa", "aa:ns/");
ns.uri = "bb:ns/";
ns.prefix("bb");
both ways to set the properties fail ... the first genertates
a compilererror informing me that the property is read-only. the
second fails while executing with "Error #1006: value is not a
function" (tried this because the first way doesn't work).
so i guess either the information in the api are incorrect or
somethings wrong with the Namespace-Object.
since i need to set these properties i would be glad if
anyone could tell me if there is a workaround.
thanks
daniel

hi there,
try this:
Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
System.out.println("current week of the year is: " + calendar.get(cal.WEEK_OF_YEAR));
System.out.println(cal.getTime());
calendar.set(cal.WEEK_OF_YEAR, 32);
System.out.println("week of the year is now: " + calendar.get(cal.WEEK_OF_YEAR));

Unable to set specific background properties

Hi!
I'm trying to set this properties in portal-skin.css:
.lateral .menu .atual, .lateral .menu .atual:hover {
     background: #002F42; /* Old browsers */
     background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #002F42 0%, #00425B 100%); /* FF3.6+ */
     background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#002F42), color-stop(100%,#00425B)); /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
     background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #002F42 0%,#00425B 100%); /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
     background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #002F42 0%,#00425B 100%); /* Opera 11.10+ */

     -pie-background: linear-gradient(#002F42, #00425B);
But when the page is rendered at the browser, this properties are ignored.
PS.: Jdeveloper consider this: "Illegal value for property: background".
How can i add this properties? Is impossible to do this?
Tks.

I don't fully understand the issue that you are facing. From your reply, it looks like the HTML for the components have the correct CSS classes applied. The actual style defined by these classes doesn't get applied.
Can you post the following
1) Code snippet of the view components where these styles are used? I am assuming it's a page template or a JSF fragment that you are trying to apply this style to.
2) The HTML source rendered for these components?
3) Also check the generated CSS to see if your style class definitions appear in it.

Unable to Set Master Slide Properties

I'm not sure how this happened, because I could do this in the past, but for some reason I cannot set properties for the master slides in my project.
I am using Captivate 7 32-bit, and when I click on a master slide I get the "Master Slide View" message and can add/remove/modify objects on the master slide. But, for some reason, I cannot set the properties of the master slide iteself anymore. Specifically, I am trying to re-name one of the master slides, and the properties view is the same as the last filmstrip slide that I viewed.
For example, I am editing slide 2/10 from the filmstrip. I decide to change the master slide associated with this slide. So, I click on the master slide tab, then select the master slide I want to edit. The "Master Slide View" message appears, but the properties tab remains the same as the last slide I was viewing on the filmstrip. If I select an object on the master slide (like a text box), I can modify the properties of that text box. But, I cannot modify properties for the master slide I am working with.
Any ideas of how to re-enable the properties of the master slide? I already restarted Captivate and my computer a couple of times.

Cannot set project properties

When I attempt to set the project properties in LiveType, I get the following error:
"An unexpected error occurred."
"(Modal session requires modal window)"
This comes up whether I create a blank project, or create one from a template. In short, I am unable to establish any properties in my project at all.
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks!
Brian

A bit of Google research: one or more files that tell Mac OS X how to build the LiveType interface are broken.
Delete the LiveType application and associated .pkg files in Library/Receipts.
Reinstall LiveType from the main FCS disk.

Portal Runtime Error: Unable to parse template

Hi!
I integrated SAP BW system with SAP Portal. All the connection tests (Sap Web AS connection, ITS connection, Connection Test for connectors) run successfully.
I also installed a BI add on u201CBI Administratoru201D on Portal and performed all the steps on SAP BI system.
When I try to access one of the functions of BI Administrator I get Portal Runtime Exception on all the windows in Portal (bellow, in the middle, etc.).
BI System Selection

An exception occurred while processing your request. Send the exception ID to your portal administrator.
Exception ID: 12:26_20/01/09_0013_21754250

Question:
How can I correct this error?
Any helpful information will be very appreciated!
Axel

Hi Alex,
It seems that the iview (of the type Application intergrator) cannot read or interperet the "client" parameter from your system object.
I can also see that the systemobject-alias that is reffered to is "SAP_LocalSystem".
Find the System Object called SAP_BW and see if all settings to connect to the backend are correct.
In addition in the iview try to set the system-alias from SAP_LocalSystem to SAP_BW and retry.
Good Luck.

Unable to set browser preview options

I posted this a few days ago and didn't get any responses, so
am trying again in case I'll have better luck today. :-)
I hope someone can help because this problem, which suddenly
occured, is makign it impossible for me to do any work in
Dreamweaver and that's driving me crazy... :-0
Thanks!
I feel a bit silly about this - but for some reason I am
unable to set the browser preview options in my preferences. I'm
using Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac OX10.3.9, and trying to designate
Firefox 1.5 as my default primary browser, and Safari 1.3.2 &
IE5 as secondary options. When I first open Dreamweaver I get a
message saying 'Unable to read Preview in Browser Preference.
Please remove all browsers form the list and add them again". So I
remove them all and when I try to add them back, none of my choices
show up in the box. Then I restart and the old ones are still
there. If I try to change the check in the box that indicates
primary or secondary browsers, my program crashes. Anyone have a
clue what's going on? Thanks so much for any help...

This - file:///ether/Patricia Yenawine/images/oxblood_med.jpg
- tells me
that your local root folder is on a network shared drive. I
am guessing
that your problem stems from the fact that network
permissions/protocols are
interfering with your ability to successfully write your
cache files and
your browser preferences.
Do you have the same problem with sites that are truly local
to your
computer?

Templates properties grayed out

Hi,
Not quite sure if this is the proper newsgroup for this
question, but I'm
sure you'll tell me ;). Today I upgraded to Contribute CS3
because a website
i'm working on now will be maintained with it.
In this website (which is currently only running under
localhost), on most
pages I have optional regions whioch should be set on/off
through the
template properties dialogue. However as soon as I try to
edit one of these
pages and want to edit the Template properties, the option is
grayed out,
and cannot be selected.
I have compared the new optional regions code with earlie
sites I created
but cannot discover the difference. I also tried the same
with Contribute 3
(which I still have installed), and guess what: the template
properties are
avaliable. I've looked every place I can think of, but can;t
find the cause,
let alone the solution.
Anyone who can shed light on this?
Thanks.
John

I seem to have solved the problem by recreating the templates
from scratch.
Templates were created with Dreamweaver 8 , which I upgraded
today also to
CS3. So far backward compatibility ?!

Unable to set effects in loaded application

Hi All,
I'm ABLE to get UIComponents from loaded app and set their properties. It's loaded as a child in same domain.
I'm UNABLE to set any effects like Rotate or Glow on the same UIComponent.
I have mxml definitions of the effect i need in the parent app.
Have tried several ways to try to get it to work.
glowPulse.target = [eventTarget];
glowPulse.play
// TypeError: Error #1006: dispatchEvent is not a function
eventTarget.setStyle("showEffect", rotate );
// no effect
Is it possible or are you stuck with just setting simple properties and using functions defined in sub app like a remote object service call?
Thanks in advance,
Kevin

Unable to set group acl

I am trying to import a 3.0.6 content area into a 3.0.6 portal
schema. When I run contimp it imports the rows for the tables
correctly. When it tries to merge I receive errors such as
Unable to set group acl for: INTRANET/36/22025/FOLDER many times
with the 22025 number changing. INTRANET is the name of the
schema which I am importing the content area from.
In the portal site the new content area name is present but
there are no options for edit, properties etc and when I try to
access the content area I receive Error 30502: The folder ID
does not exist.
Thanks for any help.

Hi
I took an export of my 3.0.6 content area using contexp. I then
upgraded this portal schema to 3.0.9 which did not go
correctly. The folders and content area is there but I cannot
access the pages. I receive a 'Page not found' error. I am
therefore trying to import the 3.0.6 export into another 3.0.6
schema using contimp.
Thanks for your help.

Did you process your account dimension before to add you property?
Are you sure that your account dimension was working before to apply your modification?
Did you add just one property ore more properties?
Did you delete any existing properties?
Did you try to do modify account dimension without adding any porperties to see if that dimension is fine?
