Updating templates problem

I am finding that when I change something on a template, and
it asks me if I want to update all files that use this template,
although I am clicking yes and Dreamweaver reports that it's
updated all the files that use the template, the "done" button is
greyed out so I can't click it, (I can only click "close") and none
of my files are being updated. This is very frustrating as I'm
having to change all files manually. I am a new Dreamweaver user so
really feeling my way around and I'm wondering if it is a fault
with my software or if I'm neglecting to do something? Please help
... I'm very frustrated!!

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?

  • Please help noob debug why updating template duplicates content

    Please go to
    http://www.mmssupplier.com/
    to read the code and help me figure out how to stop my pages from
    duplicating content or a partial table whenever I update my
    template. It only does this to some of the pages that I built from
    the template. I'm not a code expert and cannot figure out why it is
    doing this. On that link the header and content on the bottom is
    the one I want, not all that top duplication, thanks, I really need
    help.

    Hmm - then it's hard to imagine what you might be doing to
    cause this
    anomaly.
    The good news is that your template is pretty OK. The
    validator only finds
    5 errors there -
    1. Error Line 69, Column 41: there is no attribute "height".
    … <td><table width="100%" height="110"
    border="0" cellpadding="0"
    cellspa
    There is NO 'height' attribute in any HTML specification for
    the table
    tag. Since you cannot reliably use this attribute, you should
    just remove
    it from your code.
    2. Error Line 88, Column 320: value of attribute "align"
    cannot be
    "absmiddle"; must be one of "top", "middle", "bottom",
    "left", "right".
    …ight="37" border="0" align="absmiddle" id="home2"
    /></a><br />
    The absmiddle attribute is similar to the table height
    attribute - supported
    by some browsers, but not valid HTML. Just remove it.
    3. Error Line 92, Column 260: value of attribute "name" must
    be a single
    token.
    …jpg" alt="health_issues" name="health issues"
    width="130" height="37"
    border=
    You cannot assign a name value that contains spaces.
    4. Error Line 92, Column 314: value of attribute "id" must
    be a single
    token.
    …30" height="37" border="0" id="health issues"
    /></a><br />
    You cannot assign an ID value that contains spaces.
    5. Error Line 127, Column 61: required attribute "alt" not
    specified.
    …ea shape="rect" coords="2,2,125,31" href="/index.html"
    />
    All images on the page should have either a descriptive alt
    attribute value,
    or an empty one, e.g., <img alt=""....
    Fix those errors, please. Then we can re-examine how you
    might be stumbling
    onto this duplication in your pages.

  • "Update Template Files" not working, Dreamweaver CS5

    "Update Template Files" does not seem to be working in Dreamweaver CS5.
    After making a change to a template and saving it, I get the "Update Template Files" dialog box. It lists all of the files based on the template. So, I click "Update". Then, the "Update Pages" dialog box appears. Any files to be updated already open in Dreamweaver are modified correctly - in memory, that is. However, closed files do not get modified. The "Update Pages" dialog box seems to just get hung up. It just sits there with a status of "Updating...".
    Is this an installation issue? ... a template issue?  ... or what?
    FYI: I am using the 32-bit version for 32-bit Windows Vista.

    Not that it will be of any use, the template is here: http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B4haLf-RrxgTZjVhYzEwOWYtNmMyMC00MWVmLWJiNDgtYTYzM2QzZDI5Zm Fh&hl=en
    There have been, of course, numerous updates to it since the problem disappeared.
    As for the specifics of what I was trying to change when the problem was first encountered, I was attempting to change a link URI in the navigation bar. However, any change at all would end the same way, with a locked up template synchronizer (or whatever the mechanism is called). Just before I gave up testing, I was repeating the process of simply adding a space anywhere and removing it in order to trigger the modified flag.

  • Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window

    Tabs only open in a new window. Ctl T opens a new window NOT a new tab help-last update this problem started 2 days ago. How do I set FF back to open tabs in 1 window?
    There is no plus sign and going into optins and changing settings has not worked. I have uninstall FF and reinstall-keeping my personalization-and that was no help.
    Right clicking on FF Icon to open a new tab, or going up to FF drop down tab and clicking on new tab both do not work.
    Help everything opens a new window not a new tab. there seems to be no way to reset this or to chose a different optin. I just downloaded new tabs at end addon and it didn't do a thing.

    as a first troubleshooting step - does it work like normally when you open & run firefox in [[Safe Mode|safemode]] by pressing the shift key while you open firefox (all other instances have to be closed before)...

  • 10.4.11 combo update install problem

    Has anyone else had trouble installing the combo update from 10.4 to 10.4.11?? Mine almost finishes and says it encounters an unknown error and cannot finish the install. Says it moves the update to trash and says try again from the finder...
    HELP!!

    Updating
    Certain steps appear to minimize the risk of an update producing problems.
    Number one is to make sure you have a bootable clone backup of your computer in case you do need to back out of it again. This is the only guaranteed way of not having to worry about the results of an update.
    Some like to boot from their installer discs or an external backup and verify (and if necessary repair) their internal drives as well as drive permissions. This is done with Disk Utility. You can verify a drive while booted from the same drive but sometimes this produces spurious errors. Repairing a drive (if necessary) has to be done while booted from another disk.
    [Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214]
    [Using Disk Utility in Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302672]
    [Disk Utility's Repair Disk Permissions|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=25751]
    You can also go to the step of booting into safe mode to do the install.
    [Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107393]
    [What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? (Mac OS X)|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107392]
    [Safe Boot takes longer than normal startup|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107394]
    I like to download the update onto my computer and install it from there rather than let Software Update do it. I know a few people who had problems with doing the update via software updater found a manual install to work.
    Repair permissions again afterward.
    It helps to only install one update at a time and to run the computer for a while to make sure it is behaving well.
    The more cautious even like to unplug third party peripherals (see [comment by BDaqua|http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9040746#9040746]).
    Almost all of the above steps (except backup) have been questioned (e.g., [Permissons repair|http://www.macworld.com/article/52220-3/2006/08/repairpermissions.html] as to necessity. Probably many people have done successful updates without doing them. I say they can't hurt, they can very likely do good (especially if your computer isn't regularly maintained), so why not do them to be safe?

  • How do you turn off the "Update Template Files" dialog when saving a template in Dreamweaver?

    As the title states I'd like to not have to see the "Update Template Files" dialog when saving a template.  I'm not sure what its purpose is other than to annoy as it does not seem to do anything  -- selecting update, don't update, any combination of files and or hitting escape appears not to make any difference wrt wheter it updates the pages or not (it does every time).
    Any help will be appreciated.

    The "more like this" window gave me the answers.  No current ability to turn off.  I've submitted a request to add this feature. 

  • SQL Server 2005 Update mechanism problem

    Hi Gurus,
          We're faced with one SQL Server 2005 update mechanism problem. Here is my problem:
          According to our requirement, an add_on interface program is designed to execute creation of production order by calling Bapi.
          There are 3 steps in this add_on program:
          Step 1: Create production order
          Step 2: Change the information of production.
          Step 3: Some other
          After the step 1 has finished immediately step 2 is called, Howerver the information which should have inserted into database table couldn't be found from database. (Maybe because the time between two steps is too short to finish inserting)
          In order to ensure the complete of the transaction, before the step 2 executed, the information in step 1 should have inserted into database.
           Is there any solution to solve this problem?
           I guess whether there is any parameter which control the time of writing buffer into database...
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks & Best Regards,

  • Update/Insert Problem with Oracle Warehouse Builder

    Hello,
    i have update/insert problem with owb.
    Situation: I have a source-table called s_account and a target table called w_account_d. In the target table are already data which was filled trough the source table inserts. Now anyone make changes on data on the target table. This changes should now give further on the source table with an update operation. But exactly here is the problem i can´t map back the data to source because that will create a loop.
    My idea was to set a trigger but i can´t find this component in owb or is anywhere hidden?
    Also i have already seen properties as CDC or conditonal loading in the property inspector of the table, but i have no idea how it works.
    Give it other possibilities to modeling this case? or can anyone me explain how i can implement this eventually with CDC?
    I look forward for your replies :)

    Hi
    thanks for your answer. I follow your suggestion and have set the constraints of both tables into the database directly.Nevertheless it doesn´t work to begin. In the next step i found by right click on a table the listpoint "configure" - I goes to "unique key" --> creation method and set here follow options: Constraint State = ENABLE, Constraint Validation = Validate. That error message that appears before by the deployment disappears yet. Now i start the job to test if the insert/update process works right. Finally it seems to work - but not really.
    My Testscenario
    1. Load the data from source table about the staging area to data warehouse table: Check - it works!
    2. Change one data record in source table
    3. Load the source table with changed data record once again to staging area: Check - it works!
    4. Load new staging area table with the changed data record to data warehouse table: Check it works! BUT, BUT i can not recognize if it is insert or update operation, then under the design window by jobs execution windows is reported "rows selected 98", Rows inserted" is empty and "rows updated" is empty. So i think works not correct, then my opinion if it works correct it should show be "rows updated" 1.
    What can yet now still be wrong or forgotten? Any ideas?
    *By the way think not 98 rows there is not important if you make an update or insert which performance. It is an example table the right tables have million of records.*
    I look forward for your answers :)

    After applying 10.6.8 Supplemental Update a network printer status turns to paused after a printing attempt. Have deleted and reinstalled printers after the 10.6.8 update but problem reoccurs. I have also installed the Repair10.6.8.dmg package but that suggested fix did not work either. Any other suggestions?

    Wuzradioaman,
    Thanks for your feedback.
    Let me first correct myself. My aunt had bought the MBP from apple store USA for me 1 year ago, but she could have only delivered it to me 2 months ago. Its' a brand new computer. I run OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.7 and keeps warning me to update to 10.6.8. As I said, by the time I have received my computer, I tried to learnd and update it but created problems. So I had to go back to the original version which is 10.6.7. Now, for Mountain Lion I am expected of updating to 10.6.8. I am scared the problem would repeat again.
    What can I do? Did Apple release any patch/update to fix the problem?

  • Updating templates in Contribute - future release?

    Hello
    I know this question has been asked time and time again, but
    I wanted to take the topic a step further.
    I know in order to update templates (dwt's) in a
    Contribute-based site, you have to:
    * Download the site locally if it's a remote site
    * Update the pages with the revised template
    * Reupload the site to the remote site
    There just seems to me that there's got to be an easier way
    to do it than this. Honestly, I would have used Server Side
    Includes when I switched to using dwt's if I had fully understood
    that the site doesn't have some automated way of updating the site
    through Contribute. Unfortunately, I didn't realize this until part
    way through our redesign implementation, UGH.
    I guess my question is, are there any plans in the next
    release of Contribute to allow some automated way of updating the
    pages through Contribute when a template is changed? To me this is
    a REALLY NEEDED feature. It now takes me longer to make template
    updates than it did prior to using Contribute/Dreamweaver.
    Thank you - Lainie

    Before you make any changes, perform a Get (down arrow icon in the Files menu) operation to download any client-updated files first. That way, your local files will be exact duplicates of what the client has placed on the server. After verifying you have the most recent versions, make your change and upload.
