Why do links in the template change location to 'file:///'...on the pages created from the template?

Im not sure what I am doing wrong but I am building a portfolio site from a template that I downloaded online.
The site is working and I am slowly converting it from the template content to the content that I want.
As I will be editing the site and adding more pages I decided to try and add the Header, footer and main navigation bar as a template with another gallery container and navigation as an option on the template.
I thought that it was working fine untill I noticed that the links on the pages created using the template are showing as follows,
instead of the links that were in the template that show as,
Is this something that will change when I upload the site with the template or have I done something wrong making the links?

Usually this happens when you don't use a proper Site Definition, or if you have files outside your defined site folder.
Have you defined your site properly?

Yes, I just want to cover up all the pages for those particular area of document numbers.
Nothing sensitive about it. I just want to show the correct document numbers on all pages in print out.
So, I wanted to cover up by comments, but commenting on each page will be difficult. So, I wanted to comment the same on all pages.

Meta Tag Placement in pages created from a template

I am updating a site and want to make sure that I place my meta tags correctly in individual pages created from a template. Can you tell me if my placement is correct?
Below is code I added to my template:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>Untitled Document</title>

 
<style type="text/css">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>Long Island, NY, 11550 Music Dance Art & Drama Lessons</title>


<meta name="keywords" content="piano lessons, guitar lessons, drum lessons, flute lessons, violin lessons, afterschool performing arts, voice lessons, singing, saxophone, trumpet">
<meta name="description" content="Information about Young Musician Institute's Afternoon Arts Program for piano, guitar, drums, violin, viola, trumpet, saxophone and cello">

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
As usually, Begin and end editable sections are grayed out, and the meta tag names are blue according to my scheme so I think I am doing it correctly, however, I want to be sure before submitting it to google incorrectly. Can you tell me if I am correct?
Thank you

for clarification, are you saying that I could have put them on the line after:
<title>Long Island, NY, 11550 Music Dance Art & Drama Lessons</title>
Yep.
Second, adding these meta tags actually did help the ranking of this company. They were not listed before I did this on their old site. They were on page 1 of their category hours after I did this for them.
I think it's just coincidence. However, for sure it wasn't the keywords that did that, since those are just ignored (the meta keywords contents, not the meta description contents).
what are the search engines looking for? I want to make sure to design with those things in mind.
They are looking for semantic content on the page. That means the contents of tags like <title>, <h1>, <h2>, <h3>. That also means (derived) keywords contained in content 'above the fold', and in filenames, in links, in title and alt attributes. In other words, search engines want to rank your pages based on *real* meaning of the contents of the page, not on some arbitrary listing of keywords that you place in a meta keyword tag.
Search engines also pay lots of attention to INCOMING links from other well ranked sites....

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.

Why is the formatting missing from my html page created from a template?

Hi All!
Hope you can help me.
I've created a new template in dreamweaver - all good. When I preview the template page in a browser everything looks perfect.
But when I create a new html page from that template, even though the page looks perfect in design view, all the formatting is missing when I preview it in a browser.
The site settings were relative to the site root and I've changed that to be relative to the document (not sure if that should make a difference). Either way, it hasn't changed anything.
Any ideas?

The site settings were relative to the site root
If you have not enabled "Preview using temporary files" in your PREFERENCES then site root relative links will fail on preview. Why? Because site root relative links *always* begin with "/", and when the browser sees that, it (since it knows nothing about Dreamweaver sites) correctly looks for the path starting from the root of your hard drive, not the root of the DW site. When you enable preview using temp files, before handing the file to the browser, DW obligingly converts all root relative links to document relative links (which *will* work on preview) but to do that it must create a temporary file (there are other things that happen as well, like external files being embedded in the code for the preview, but that is not relevant to this discussion). The reason a temp file is created is so that these changes don't affect your saved file.
So, if you want to use site root relative links, and do previews of your pages, you must enable the temporary files in preview. There is really no downside to doing this except that you may occasionally see a curious file named xzys139(.html in your local file list - this is a temporary file that was handed to the browser for preview, and for whatever reason was not deleted. In fact, this can save your bacon sometimes because it gives you a 'backup' of that page to which you can revert in the event of something catastrophic.
In the larger picture, there is no benefit to using site root relative links UNLESS you are also using server-side includes. It will make your life a bit simpler if you do not use them.
Finally, having made those links in your template file with the site root relative option enabled, changing that option to document relative will only affect NEW links, not existing ones. This is why Ken asked to see the link in your template - it's because he knows that even though you have made the option change, that old link will not be affected and will therefore fail on preview (assuming you have not enabled the temp file thing).

How can I create a navigation bar in the template so I can change the down state of a button on a page made from the template in DW3?

We're creating pages from a template in DW3. The template includes a header, footer and a navigation bar. We've made the navigation bar an editable region so that we can change the down state of the buttons on pages where it is required. However, when we make a new page from the template and try to change the behaviors of the buttons in the navigation bar it will not allow us to make those changes.

Have you considered using CSS styled text/list menus instead of image rollovers. It isn't hard really and it's actually a much better choice for web accessibility and for search engines to find and follow your links. Here are some links to several CSS menu systems you can try:

Pages created from template not formatted in FireFox browser

Using Dreamweaver CS5 I redesigned a web site with all pages now created from a master template. The result is that the site displays properly in IE, but not in FireFox. See the www.lbtscic.com site. It checked out OK in the Browser Lab for all browsers, but shows as mostly unformatted in the latest FireFox .
A side problem is that changes in the master template do NOT show up in the pages created from that template. When I make a change in the template the details show that it checked all the appropriate pages, but changed none. Need Help!

The linked page looks the same to me in IE9/Safari5.1/FF3.6.23, and it looks broken in all of them - the content region is wider than the banner image.
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 will be effected by just uploading the changed Template file 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 than 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). If you *have done this*, then recreate the child pages (in DW) using FILE | New > Page from Template, select the Template and click CREATE.
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?

HT203421 I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps. Does anyone know what is happening

I have recently purchased some apps from the app store and after downloading them, the icon that appears in the dock changes to a different icon. It is now the same icon appearing on all newly downloaded apps. Does anyone know what is happening here? Even updating an older game app resulted in the original game icon changing to the new identical icon that all new apps are appearing with. This new icon is like a page with a ruler, pencil and paintbrush. Any tips on how to stop this or how to revert to the icon as it appears on the app store would be appreciated.

Hi
"Changed group membership in WGM 10.6.3 from the 10.6 server. The change takes overnight to work"
If I've understood you correctly I've never known this or anything else to take that long? What were you trying to do exactly?

Everything on my desktop disappeared. i tried using the finder to locate specific files and they are missing. Help!

i'm using a macbook pro retina, 2.4 GHz Intel Core i7, 8GB. operating OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
everything on my desktop disappeared. i've managed to make my HD reappear on my desktop but my files etc are nowhere to be found. i tried using the finder to locate specific files and they are missing. Help! I foolishly filled up my desktop with piles of screen grabs and folders - no doubt that was the cause... what do i do, aside from punish myself for being so stupid?

Could you have logged into another account?
If you go to System Preferences>Users and Accounts what accounts are listed?

Why are the jpgs that are generated in my camera better than the ones i create from the nef file in camera raw?

i shoot raw+ jpg in camera, for some reason the jpgs that come from my camera (nikon D300) always seem better than the jpgs i create
from the nef files in camera raw. i am saving at the highest quality. the jpgs from the camera seem to have more detail in highlights
better color more vibrant, sharper. could my camera be doing some enhancements to the jpgs before processing?

I had similar thoughts back when I first started shooting raw. Really, it's just a matter of editing to your personal taste.
Yes, that camera applies lots of presets before creating the jpeg, as Trevor.Dennis mentioned. Also, as he said, you can far surpass native jpegs with raw.
If you need it more vibrant, make it so. If you need to bring down the highlights, do so. Need sharpening? Apply some.
Here is one of my edits that I made a tutorial of: Sunrise Raw File Edit - Adobe Lightroom - Landscape Photography - YouTube. It is one of my less dramatic edits, but still a good one.
I don't want to clutter this thread with links, but if you take a look at my Facebook page, I put a lot of before and afters up in January and February. A Google search for Benjamin Root Photography will bring it up.
I shoot in raw, and highly recommend it.
I'll leave you with a nice NEF RAW file before and after:
BTW, D300 is a nice camera, I've used it...
