hi all, I built a (.dwt) template in Dreamweaver (as per usual) and have been creating pages from it (New/Page from Template)...

 

however, now I have come to update the .dwt template file (I only need to edit a menu item), it doesn't seem to work, giving me the message:

 

Updating [...]

Done.

files examined: 8

files updated: 0

files which could not be updated: 0

total time: (0:00:00)

 

anyone any idea what is going wrong?

 

can provide further info - just ask! ta, eighty0ne

Double Post - please see below

Hi, I've got a problem with nested templates (using Dreamweaver CS3). Maybe I'm not doing it properly:

• I've created a base template with an editable region
  
• I've created a new html file from the base template then saved as a new template
  
• I've created a new html file from the new template
  
• In the new template I've edited the content in the editable region
  
• This is not transferring to the new html file
  

I'm not sure how to make this work. Obviously I need to make the region editable in the base template to be able to edit it in the new template (that's a nested template, right?). But from here it's still editable in the new html file, i.e. not being updated from the nested template.

 

What do I have to do to the editable region in the new template for it to update to all files created from?

 

Can I correct any mistake I may have made so far to make this work the way I want (this is a simplified explanation - other templates and files have been created from the base template)?

 

Please help - this is driving me crazy!

 

Thanks for your help.
