What about sites NOT created with Dreamweaver templates

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 (no templates), and code most everything by hand (html, javascript and CSS). Would it work to have people in my office adding content to these existing sites with Contribute CS5 since there are NO Dreamweaver templates in place?

Html webpages are editable in Contribute.

Why Does Live View In DW Not Work With BC Template?

The live view using a BC template in DW CS6 shows "PAGE NOT FOUND" in the body section but the header and footer look fine. I should also point out that the index.htm page works fine, it's just the other pages that have this problem. What makes it weirder is that the site works fine in all other modes including when viewing in a normal browser, it's ONLY when in live view! I also noticed that if I delete the .htm extension in the url in the DW browser when in Live View it fixes the problem, but this requires me to do this everytime I want to switch to live view and surely is either a problem with how the BC template files are named or DW CS6 is buggy? Hopefully this is an easy one to answer??

Need Help Reslicing Photoshop Site Layout to Update Dreamweaver Template

I created a website in adobe photoshop cs3 and sliced it up
to created an html file with sliced images. My main navigation menu
is made up of graphics.
I brought it into dreamweaver and created editable regions,
created rollovers etc. Then I created a dreamweaver template from
that to create the rest of the web pages for my site.
The client has come back to me and wants to add more menu
options to the site. This is where I'm stuck! When I use photoshop
to make more menu slices, it renumbers them. How do I export the
new slices with the new layout so I can use them to update my
dreamweaver template. How can I get those new slices/html layout to
the dreamweaver template without losing all the work I have done on
my current dreamweaver template?

The slicing is not the problem. It's the export as HTML that
is the
problem. And you'd have to ask Adobe that question if you
want an answer.
We are all just volunteer peers here.

FW HTML is no better.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/why_fireworks.html
At any rate, read this -
http://apptools.com/rants/spans.php
- and then look
at your code and count colspan, and rowspan attributes.
Unfortunately, the
only way to avoid this mess is to learn enough HTML/CSS that
you can build
your own tables in DW, and do it in such a way that you don't
rely on
merging and splitting cells (which is what generates those
colspan and
rowspan attributes).
Again, unfortunately, you are REALLY stuck in a bad
situation. Since you
have a) used a completely graphic menu button array, and b)
used a graphic
background behind the menu buttons, and c) chosen to embed
that graphic
background in each sliced button, you cannot add new buttons
without
remaking the entire menu. You will only make that mistake
once. I never
start building menus until I have an approved site plan in
hand. By the
way, that's a nice looking layout.
I don't see any clear path to salvation here. Since you are
absolutely tied
to PS for exporting the HTML and slices, you will have to
recreate
everything, I believe.

Files not created with iTunes do not play from remote iTunes library

I hve ripped a large part of my CD collection into music files into FLAC format. I have since converted my music files from FLAC into Apple Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) format and imprted them into iTunes.
The files play with no problem on iTunes if they are on a local iTunes library. Furthermore, all metadata such as tags and album cover art information are properly displayed in iTunes. This is true whether I'm running iTunes on a Windows XP box or a Mac OS X box. I have since imported many other CDs into my iTunes library using iTunes to encode into ALAC.
If I share the iTunes library on my Windows XP machine to iTunes running on a Mac OS X box or to an Apple TV, I can:
*play songs that were imported directly using iTunes
*not play any songs that were not created with iTunes
This behavior is true whether I'm trying to play them from either a Mac or from an Apple TV.
If I copy the *.m4a files to the Mac and import them to the iTunes library I have no problems playing them on the Mac. I have not tried sharing the iTunes library on the Mac and tried accessing the files from the Apple TV or the Windows PC.
Any thoughts?

Fix: optimize m4a files moving the meta data to the beginning, whilst optionally creating a hint track (used for streaming m4a over Apple Airtunes).

Pl/sql Procedure is Not Creating With the CLOB data Type

Hi,
I am Using Oracle 10g Express Edition Release2.... My Doubt is While creating a table With CLOB Data Type the table is created successfully,but while Creating a Procedure With the CLOB Data type i am getting an Error Message
2667/5 PL/SQL: Statement ignored
2667/24 PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
then i tried With the Varchar2(30000) the Procedure is Created Successfully note i have not changed any thing in my code except the data type.
I am Just Confused ......Why the Procedure is not Created with CLOB Data type?
Please advice ...
Thank U
SHAN

hi,
Thanks for reply....Another Example
CREATE TABLE USER_MAS (USER_ID VARCHAR2 (20 Byte),MAIL_ID VARCHAR2 (255 Byte));
set serveroutput on
declare
atable varchar2(64) := 'USER_MAS';
acolumn varchar2(64) := 'MAIL_ID';
avalue varchar2(64) := 'NEWYORK' ;
dyn_sql clob;
begin
dyn_sql := 'update '||atable||' set '||acolumn||' = '''||avalue|| '''' ;
dbms_output.put_line(dyn_sql);
execute immediate dyn_sql;
end;
commit ;
Error at line 2
ORA-06550: line 9, column 23:
PLS-00382: expression is of wrong type
ORA-06550: line 9, column 5:
PL/SQL: Statement ignored
When i Changed the Data type to varchar2(64)
update USER_MAS set MAIL_ID = 'NEWYORK'
PL/SQL procedure successfully completed.
Commit complete.
I like to Know the Reason Why the Procedure is Not Created in Oracle 10g XE DB
Note :the Same Script i used in 11g DB the Procedure is Created Successfully....
Why you need use CLOB or VARCHAR2 in your temp_num variable as you sending parameters as number?
In the Procedure we are create some run time queries while executing the procedure. There are around 10 run time queries created.
The size of each query is more than 4000 characters . We then add all the queries using union all after each query to the clob variable as the normal varchar will not support.
Please Advice
Thank U

Template File created in DreamWeaver Looks ok. But when a new file created with this template shows disordered

I created a template file in DreamWeaver cs5. It is OK. and it looks like this, with Pink box showing the editable region. http://smsoftsolutions.com/downloads/test.jpg
Now the problem is, when I create a NEW html file from this Template, in the DESIGN view, the template contents are shown in a flowing mode. ie. Absolutely positioned DIVs are showing in a disorderly way, as shown in this screenshot. http://smsoftsolutions.com/downloads/test2.jpg
When I preview it in browser, it is showing as I expect. But only in the design mode, it is showing in a relatively positioned way.
Can anyone tell me what I should do in the dreamweaver settings, to show the layout in a WYSIWYG way?

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
If I post the pages alone, the link to the images will be broken.
The css files also will be broken.
The css file should be in the folder css, images should be in the folder home_images, and template file should be in the folder templates.
The link to three files are:
1. HTML FILE
http://smsoftsolutions.com/downloads/t.html
2. TEMPLATE FILE
http://smsoftsolutions.com/downloads/vetiver_master.dwt
3. CSS FILE

Problem with dreamweaver template please help!!

I need to update the navigation links of a website, which has about 30 pages, and they all use a master.dtw template file, I did not create the website, somebody else did, what i did was downloaded it to my computer from the server, which includes the master.dtw file, the problem is that when I finish downloading the website, dreamweaver does not recognize the master.dtw as a template, if i modify the template file and save it, it wont update all the webpages that it is using the template, what I do is I go to the assets tab, right click, and press update site, it updates all pages, but I loose the styling in most pages, I have been trying different things and nothing seems to work, is there anything I can do to easily update the website from the template file without loosing the styling?
thanks

If you provide a code of your template or better a link where people can see your template then you will get a helpful reply here. You have to understand that without the code, people would be chasing a wild goose!

Problem with dreamweaver template

hi running Dreamweaver 8, built my first website using templates works fine for 8 months. The site is called www.mraweb.ca when I go to update this starts:
Today
my template file uses this code to create a drop down menu
<li><a href="join_mra.htm>Join MRA</a></li>
<li><a href="about_us.htm>About Us</a></li>
but when I apply an updated template file to the basic .htm pages it adds a reference to a Template folder as if all the actual pages are inside the Templates folder which of course doesn't work because they dont exist in that folder
<li><a href="Templates/join_mra.htm>Join MRA</a></li>
<li><a href="Templates/about_us.htm>About Us</a></li>
I've tried detaching and reattaching the template file to the basic .htm and it still adds in this reference to the template folder.
help! how do I fix this?

All links in the TEMPLATE file should be one of three kinds -
1. Relative to the template file, e.g.,
<a href="../ (meaning that you must go up one level from the template folder
to reach the root of the site, hence all other files, since none of them
should be in the templates folder)
2. Relative to the site root, e.g.,
<a href="/ (meaning that one would begin looking for the linked file at the
root of the site and follow the pathing from that point)
3. Absolute, e.g.,
<a href="http:// (meaning that the link is to a page external to the site).
You are showing Template links that would target other pages within the Templates folder, and that's not allowed - it's the reason why DW is adding the "Templates/" folder to your link path.
Do not make links in your Templates manually. Always use the BROWSE folder to allow DW to format and manage the links properly.

Can't add spry widget to page created from dreamweaver template

Please help! I have created a template in Dreamweaver and
from that template I have created an html page. I want to add
different tabbed and/or accordion spry widgets to multiple pages
however I keep getting an error when I try to add a widget to an
editable region. I can add the widgets to the dwt file, but I do
not want the same widget on all pages created from that template.
Please advise!
Thanks
cycleguy

If that's all that's on the child page you are in trouble.
Anyhow, it appears to me that the template has not been
properly created
since I do not also see an editable region around the
<title> tag in your
code. Please read my previous post and follow the
instructions.

Search feature with dreamweaver template

I'm building a site with products ids, I need to include a search feature that can find a specific product within the site. I found a template in Dreamweaver that includes the search form. How can I learn how to make it work? Is there any script out there for this? Thank you

Search is a server-side thing or something based on a pre-fab XML/ JavaScript that holds the indices and keywords. A input field named search in any form doesn't mean anything if the logic behind is missing. Depending on what you are looking for, something like this may get you started: http://www.wrensoft.com/zoom/. For more complex stuff, you will have to use PHP or other server languages or rely on Google...

What is "Could not authenticate with LiveConnect" error probably caused by?

Dear all,
    I excountered another unexpected error while using the new NNTP Server.
    I selected "Logout and Exit" from the menu. Next time when I launched the NNTP Server and clicked "Start", a "LiveAuthForm" dialogue appeared, asked
for my Microsoft Account and password. I entered, and it seemed I had signed in. The "LiveAuthForm" dialogue changed like this (Displayed in my language ZH-CN. The following are translated by myself):
>>Microsoft Account
>>Do you allow this application to access your information?
>>NNTPBridge_Test needs your permission to continue the following operations:
>>Keep you signed in automatically.
>>Access your information at anytime.
>>You can change these application permissions from your account settings at any time.
>>Yes or No?
    When I clicked "Yes" in this dialogue, there would be a "Could not authenticate with LiveConnect!" pop-up appeared suddenly. I could not use the NNTP Server at all.
    Any idea what is this "Could not authenticate with LiveConnect" error probably caused by? Is there any LiveConnect addon or plugin I need to reinstall?
    Suggestions would be deeply appreciated. Thank you all.

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).
> And the link stays like that above, even when I upload
it to the server
> (which
> means the website only displays properly on my computer)
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.

Site not importing to Dreamweaver CC correctly

Hi,
First post on here and its rather a bizone that ive never seen before and is rather complicated to explain.
Ive recently got a new PC (windows 8) and signed up to the Adbobe Creative Cloud and downloaded Dreamweaver CC...
Nothing strange so far.
I manage a number of sites for my work and the issue is relating to one site in particular.
The whole site doesnt display correctly. It almost looks as if the PC is you would expect that to be an issue on the other sites i have imorted but it isn't.
Here's a screen shot of whats going on....
As you can see the image is all distorted. its definately not a coding issue as if i was to navigate to another installed site that is working fine...when i revist a page on the problem site it retains features from the previous site...you can see hints of purple in the screenshot above AND THAT SITE DOESNT HAVE PURPLE ON IT!!! Its just kept that from another site page that i had previously viewed.
So bizzare.
Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this. Im using a brand new machine and im sure its not a graphics issue as like ive mentioned before all the other sites i have imported on Dreamweaver CC are working fine.
To sum up
- The issue is only on one site. 2 other sites have been imported an are working fine.
- I have deleted and reinstalled the site - still happens
- The problem is constant through the whole of the problem site, not just one particular page - which may suggest a coding problem...
however, the site displays fine when imported through older versions of Dreamweaver...
Help! - anyone seen anything like this before?!

Any idea when that next update might be coming...

Sorry, even Adobe staff members (which I am not) don't know when updates will be pushed. Even when they do, they gernerally can't say.
You should be able to do a search of your css for "transparent" to see if it's there, it definitely sounds and looks like the transparent bug.
