Used template now I cannot name child pages..

Hello Everyone,
I am new to Dreamweaver and this post and I have a problem. I created a site using a template. However, when I created the child pages and tried to add titles to the pages Dreamweaver wouldn't accept them? What should I do?

One of the first things you should do is read How to get help quickly. It won't solve your particular problem, but it will tell you that a lot of problems can be solved only by seeing the code.
Presumably what has happened is that the page created from the template has somehow failed to create an editable region for the <title>. If you open the template in Code view, you should see this round about lines 5-7:

<title>Untitled Document</title>

Those TemplateBeginEditable and TemplateEndEditable comment tags indicate that the <title> is editable. If they're missing, you won't be able to edit it in pages created from the template.
That's why seeing the code of a problem page is so important. Just by looking at that, someone familiar with templates would be able to judge if that was the problem, or if it lies elsewhere.
By the way, you'll also find a lot of common questions answered in the Dreamweaver FAQ.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

What I found after taking out the heights from the text areas is that I was left with uneven text column lengths (alternating beige areas). So I created a repeatable jpg with the same alternating beiges and put it as the background of the bodyArea tag. Again, if there is a better way, please let me know!
A repeating background image to 'fake' equal height columns is perfectly ok.
It won't work IF your page is responsive but it isn't so no problem. If it were responsive a better solution would be to take advantage of the css property display: table; and display: table-cell;
In reference to your footer background color not showing I would assume you have floated items within the footer container. If so then you need to clear those floated items which allows the footer container to wrap itself around the floated items inside it.
You would do this by using css - overflow: hidden; - on the parent container which has the floats inside it.

Template updates won't affect child pages

I have deleted a broken navbar (with spry menu) on my template that won't leave the child pages. I have repeatedly gone to Modify -> Library -> Update Pages, but the child pages still show the broken navbar.
Most of them, anyway. I haven't checked all 50+ pages, but I did find a few that updated properly and no longer have the defective navbar. The majority, though, won't drop it.
How can I rid my pages of this?! The navbar is (was?) in a non-editable region, so I can't go into the child pages to delete it. And there's nothing left to edit from the template -- I've deleted all the offending code, so there's nothing there to even check.

Thank you, Murray. Somehow, I resolved the problem. Not sure what I did to correct it, or what I did to muck it up in the first place. But in the end, I was able to free up all but one of the pages. So I just copied the content and built a new page.
Thanks again.

I updated my IPAD 's IOS last night ...I have NEVER used a passcode for my IPAD & it is asking for it...How am I supposed to put in the passcode that I NEVER used? now I cannot even use my IPAD...HELP!!

I updated my Ipad( ios 7.1) & now it is asking for my PASSCODE ...I NEVER used a PASSCODE ,so now I am unable to use my IPAD because I DO NOT or NEVER have used a passcode ..my IPAD is useless ..I am locked out because I have NO passcode to use! HELP!!!

I have seen other users talk about this and make the same claim. Unfortunately, even if you didn't set a passcode, and the iPad is insisting that you did, unless you can successfully guess what the passcode is, you still have to follow these instructions and use one of the methods in here in order to restore your iPad which will then unlock it.

Template changes in editable region do not propagate to child pages??

I have a website that was created using Dreamweaver CS4. I have copied the directory onto a machine running CS6 and set it up as a new site in DW. I want to make a change in the editable region of a template that feeds all the pages. However, when I make the change it appears to go through the motion of propagating the change across all the pages, but in fact - when checking 'detail' of the process - all it seems to be doing is identifying the child pages but not updating them. No changes occur. Any ideas? I did not have this problem previously, as far as I remember.
Code snippet follows. I'm trying to add the phone number shown in BOLD below.
Thanks for any help!!

Correct Ken.
The content in editable regions of a DW Template are editable on a page by page basis in all child pages. Any content in an editable region in a Template will not propagate to child pages.
Anything in a non-editable region of a Template can only be edited in the DW Template and those changes will propagate to child pages when the Template is saved.

Updating nav data using Templates in one go

Can anyone advise me on this: i have a large site with hundreds of HTML files that use one of four different Templates, all of which use the same Navigation ul tags (as produced by Project Seven's Pop Menu)......
often, I want to update all the files that utilize that nav data, and as you know, DW's template feature update will agreeably update them all, automatically. However, my issue is in collecting all the differnet HTML files, which all reside in different folders at the root level of my site, and put them all to the server in one fell swoop. The synch capability of DW is great but (as far as I can tell) it only gives me a complete list of those filesa affected by the update, without distinguishing between HTML and all others.
(I like to use the 'index' designation on many subroot level HTML docs, and put them into separate folders, such that the URL need not have the extension HTML when giving the link to someone. But that means all the ifles are in different folders.
is there a way to tell DW to 'find " all the files that are HTML, that have been updated by the Template change and then 'put' them to the server in one go........?
I'd be most grateful........
todd

Doing all this via DW Templates is a maintenance chore.
Edit the navigation in the Template, let DW update all Child pages then upload all changed Child pages. For every single edit. Painful.
Have you thought of setting up your navigation as a Server Side Include instead? It's far quicker and much more efficient than DW Templates.

Then you can avoid all the Template editing, child page propagating and uploading.

TA21328 I downloaded a security update and now I cannot access my online banking web site. How do I fix it?

Does anyone have a quick fix for this? I downloaded the latest security update and now I cannot access web page for online banking.

It is not asking what part of your country you are in, but what country/region you are in.
Region encoding is the mechanism that enables motion picture studios to control the worldwide release of their movies. It is required by the DVD Forum (http://www.dvdforum.org/forum.shtml) in all commercial hardware DVD players. Every DVD-Video disc contains one byte of data representing a region code, which limits where the disc can be played.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2397
Once you have set the region in DVD Player five times it cannot be changed.
Instead, use VLC to view videos from different regions:

Cannot open any Pages documents made prior to upgrading to Yosemie. Pages does not appear in the iCloud list in system preferences.

Upgraded to Yosemite. Upgraded Pages to latest version. Uninstalled older versions of pages (made with iWork '09). Now I cannot open any Pages documents made prior to upgrading. I keep getting the same redundant message: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. You can download the latest version of Pages from the Mac App Store." Not sure if this is relevant, but Pages does not show up in the iCloud list in systems preferences.

Ok, I found pages on the iCloud drive. But the behavior of Pages is still the same, problem unchanged.

I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system. Now' I cannot write on my Contacts or Calendar apps, and my Pages app (purchased) has lost the ability to use the bold, underline, and italics functions. Does anyone know how to fix these

I have an original iPad and downloaded the new operating system. Now, I cannot add to my contacts or calendar apps, and Pages ( which I purchased) is not allowing me to use the bold, underline, and italics functions. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

No, it stays with the current OS (iOS5 in this case) - Apple doesn't allow downgrading iOS
If you are syncing to a desktop, you shoudln't lose anything. If you aren't syncing, then that's the first thing you should do, to protect contacts etc.
the other thing is, when the iPad is connected to iTunes, right-click its name in the Devices list and choose Back Up.
That way, when yoiu do the restore, everything should come back as was.

How to create a template and child pages using mockup designed in Fireworks

I have created a website in Fireworks, and exported it to use in Dreamweaver. How do I use the Master page in Fireworks as my template page in Dreamweaver? When I bring in the .htm files from fireworks, it tries to bring in the entire page. I have taken 25 hours of online training for Fireworks and Dreamweaver through Lynda.com, but there is not a specific video that tells you how to get your website from Fireworks into Dreamweaver if you want to utilize the Template and child page features.

Use Fireworks to crop, slice and optimize images only. DO NOT allow any graphics app to generate your HTML code for you. This results in poorly formed code and rigid layouts that invariably fall apart when you attempt to edit them in DW. Fireworks / Photoshop generated pages are for quick prototypes or design comps to show the client. They do not work well on production sites.

Whilst I appreciate your responding - I do not think this helps with what I was enquiring (at least not without further explanations anyways).
I am aware of, and do use, the function - System Preferences > Keyboard > Text - for various replacements like (tm), (c), etc .... and also for fractions like 1/2, 1/4, 1/3.
However, my question was in relation to SUPERSCRIPTS for dates / numbers - namely, superscripting numerical suffixes for things like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th,
So - please help - HOW do I set this up ? If indeed it is possible without System Preferences > Keyboard > Text ???

Pages-when using template for envelopes can you import names/address from address book

When using templates for envelopes can you import names/address from the address book?

Drag the VCard from Address Book onto the open envelope template.
If you want mutiple addresses make a Group of those in Address Book and drag the Group icon onto the Pages template.

I have lost all of my keynote templates now that I have upgraded to yosemite. How can I use Keynotes and pages etc on my computer and not on the cloud.

I have lost all of my previously created keynote templates now that I have upgraded to yosemite. How can I use Keynotes and pages etc on my computer and not on the cloud.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
All iWork apps allow you to save your documents on your computer. You will be able to choose the destination when you want to save a document.
You can also disable iCloud for some apps. To do that, go to System Preferences -> iCloud, press "Options" next to "iCloud Drive" and disable the apps you want to.
If you have lost your old documents, you should have a backup that you made before upgrading to OS X Yosemite, so you only have to restore it.

Child pages inheriting editable regions from template

I have looked far and wide and cannot find an answer to this problem:
We recently did a homepage update where the nested and/or second level template (index_template.dwt) was changed. Since much of the formatting was the same - I duplicated the original index_template and made all necessary changes. From this template two child pages were created for our US and UK site. Upon creating the page(s) from the index_template they are inheriting the editable regions, thus not having the ability to update when changes are being made to the template. I have tried multiple ways in an attempt to correct this - but to no avail. Does anyone have a clue how to correct this? As of now I have to manually update all 3 pages.
BTW I am also a relatively new user who was thrown into managing our company website and pretty much doing a redo on the whole thing. Talk about a learning experience!

My issue is when you create a page from a template they are not supposed to inherit the editable regions less otherwise marked.
But that is not true. A newly created child page will inherit ALL content from its template. But changes to the editable region contents in the template will NOT propagate to existing child pages.
So, for example, if I want all child pages to have an embedded stylesheet in the head that is EDITABLE, my template would look like this -

<style type="text/css">
</style>

All newly created child pages will then look like this -

<style type="text/css">
</style>

If I then go back to the template and change it like this -

<style type="text/css">
body { margin:0; }
</style>

that change will NOT propagate to existing child pages, but WILL appear in child pages created subsequently to the save of the template after the change.
And by the way, it's always been this way.

Used template now I cannot name child pages..
