.DWT updating problem

G

Guest

I am having a problem updating pages that have a .DWT file attached.
Everything was working fine, but then today I made a change inside of an
editable region on the .DWT file itself so that any new pages I created from
that point forward would have this new inline style I created. I also added a
simple date/time script to a non-editable region.

Now, however, when I go to update pages that were already previously
attached to the .DWT file it says something to the effect of "this page could
not be updated because it does not share any editable regions with the .DWT
file."

So what is going on here? I did not remove or rename ANY of the editable
regions on the master .DWT file so I am completely confounded by this error.
Please help!

Thanks

DWTs only manage / update the Non-editable regions of pages using them
- anything you want on all pages must be in non-editable regions (not in editable regions)
- the date/time script (if in the head section in a non-editable region) should have updated all pages

I understand how DWTs work (or should work), but something is terribly wrong
here. Again, I did not rename and/or remove any editable regions from the
master template. Even if I did add new content into a editable region of the
master template then I would NOT expect it that content to appear on any
currently attached pages, but rather any new pages created/attached from that
point forward. I have tested this behavior and that is indeed what happens.

I think somehow something got corrupted within the web itself. By the way,
the specific error message I am getting is as follows:

"FrontPage could not apply the Dynamic Web Template because the template and
this page do not share a compatible editable region. If there are compatible
pages remaining to process, you can skip this page and continue processing.
Otherwise, cancel this operation entirely. Continue with this template? Yes
No"

Let me be clear, I DID NOT rename and/or remove ANY editable regions on the
master template. I have found that I can detach existing pages from the
template and then reattach it without incident. However, I do not want to,
nor should I have to, go through this painstaking process.

That is an error behavior that should not occur if you editable region names in the DWT and your pages are the same
- Do your editable region names perchance have spaces in them?
- Are you working in a Disc based or Server based Web/Site and in what OS & version of the FP SE
