Missing Template file - how to recreate

G

Guest

Hi,

I have inherited a site and I have made changes to the editable stuff, but
now need to change the contact info on each page. The pages show
.../template/template.dwt , but when I go to edit this, it does not exist.
Seems the template may have been deleted, but the pages still use the code??

I could detach the templates and fix each page, but how can I recreate the
template and them reapply it so I do not have to edit each page individually?

Thanks,
Lisa

Copy any page using it and save it as somenewtemplate.dwt
- edit it to remove any content in the editable regions and apply your new DWT to all pages

They will have to do a bit more cleanup than that, won't they, Stefan?

What about the <!-- #BeginTemplate and the <!-- #EndTemplate markup?

Please - which tag do I leave - I have:

<!-- #BeginTemplate "NewTemplate.dwt" -->
<!-- #BeginEditable "doctitle" --> ...<!-- #EndEditable -->
- javascript
<!-- #BeginEditable "banner" -->...<!-- #EndEditable -->
- some buttons for navigation
<!-- #BeginEditable "pageContent" --><h1> </h1><!-- #EndEditable -->
- the contact info
<!-- #EndTemplate -->

Thanks,
Lisa

Not really
Since FP does not support nested DWT templates it automatically strips the
<!-- #BeginTemplate and the <!-- #EndTemplate markup tags out

You are both right - Frontpage did remove the tags so I was only left with
the ones I needed. When I took a sample page, changed the template and
attached it, it all looks great.

THANKS!
