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 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.

  • 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....!

    Sign out of your Apple ID, reboot yor iPad and sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes and App Store. Tap your ID and sign out.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Go go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store. Sign in. Try to download the free apps again.

  • Why do I get "Cannot connect to ITunes Store" message on my IPad and IPhone?

    Why do I get "Cannot connect to ITunes Store" message on my IPad and IPhone?
    I have tried numerous times to connect to ITunes Store to update my current apps and continue to get this message.  Apple has determined that it is not a device problem or an Apple problem.  It has to do with ITunes.  Can anyone help?

    I am having no problems downloading from the app store today. I just tried it again. However, I read some of those other discussions as well and there have been times when the iTunes or App Store has been out of commission. Don't hold your breath waiting for Apple to acknowledge it because that is not going to happen. That is not how they operate.
    You can report it to them here ....

  • Unable to set the header - Message-Id in MimeMessage

    Hi all,
    I'm facing problem in setting the header -> Message-Id
    for my MimeMessage.I tried setting the header using
    MimeMessage.setHeader() , also I tried with
    MimeMessage.addHeader() both the methods didn't
    work.
    I've also excuted the MimeMessage.saveChanges()
    after setting the header.
    I tried to display the message after using the above
    with getHeader("Message-Id").
    But it seems like the values I have set are not being
    reflected.
    Can anyone suggest why this is happening?
    Any help will be great!!!

    Hi,
    I'm getting the header after I do MimeMessage.saveChanges(); and before sending the mail.
    I want to change the message-id that was generated as
    you have mention below. Since I'm trying to automate
    a part of my mail. I'm sending a request to a mail robot
    which need the user name in specfic format
    ex: [email protected] But its attaching my
    local machine name at the end like : dannyy.fischer@localhost. Is there a way to change this part in the message id.
    Please let me know.

  • 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).
    Cheers

  • Why do i get crashes when setting chart history length

    I am trying to figure out how to get my chart to eat up less memory. At the moment it is capturing from 4 channels at 44100 samples/sec. It is a continuous capture and after a few minutes, the computer just runs out of memory and can no longer keep up with the capture, at which point the Vi quits. Opening up task manager, I noticed that as I capture, the memory gets chewed up really quickly, but when I stop my VI the used memory is not reclaimed. Even if I set the chart history to an empty array when the VI stops. I tried setting the chart history to a smaller number but whenever I set it below 512 the whole computer crashes.

    I have seen similar problems. I created a simple VI to test this and am continously getting LabView crashes when I try and write an intensity chart history to an array.
    First frame of the vi sequence generates a 100 random number array for the intensity chart display. The next frame in the sequence has the property node for chart history (of the intensity chart)set to read mode and it is wired to a two deminsional array.
    So, I generate psuedo chart data and then try to recover the history into an array. It crashes every time. No matter where I set the chart history length. I attempted to do as you had previously suggested and store the data to a file. Same response.... Crashes LabView. Local and online help have not been very hel
    pful. Will search the hardcopy literature now.
