Can spry menu cause editable regions?

Hello. I have two questions menu spry that I hope someone can answer:

1. I use a horizontal menu spry in my template for my navigation bar (pictured below). But I would like to make the "Menu" tab Middle an editable, so that I can change its destination of links on certain pages of the subsites. Is this possible? I tried to insert an editable region in the spry, but Cree Dreamweaver warnings against me and, when I went anyway, the navigation bar broke out on my pages.

2. I want to only the 'Previous' and 'Next Page' tabs to display on some subpages (and maybe to hide tab "Menu" way). I do not think that an optional region will work in the spry, so I tried just type the new tabs on each side of the menu spy. But, once again, Dreamweaver got mad at me and broke my navigation bar.

Any suggestions on how I can either work around? Or sprys are not otherwise flexible? I was wondering if I could create two different navbars and make the two optional regions, but still, I don't think it's possible.

Thanks to all those who can help you.

Hmm.

I've never considered part of an editable Spry menu bar, but you can do it. Simply ensure that you delete it or don't overlap the necessary code, and I think the submenus will be problematic.

When you want to change a menu item, do it in code view, and then select all the contents of the list item:

  • Point 1.1
  • This way, you will be able to change the link and the text of the item...

    If Dreamweaver warns you that you are working in a block element, don't you worry about this. You know, and it won't hurt anything in this case.

    There will be other ways to build local versions of the menu. If you need the submenus, you must remember to add some class designations, which you certainly can do it if you're careful. I personally would opt for several different menus controlled from the style sheet. It would be a bit more complicated, but then you don't have to remember to go to all the pages to set the menu. I don't know your project, so I couldn't say if it would be a great loss of time or useful. If you were to use the same menu on several pages, it can be useful. If each page is different anyway, make your way!

    In addition:

    I did a modifiable menu item and the code looks like this: each editable region will have its own name.

      Once you style elements of list of top-level inline elements, they obey to the
      text-align property (they get focused in this case).

      You can safely ignore that.

    • Nesting templates: child-model Pages does not fully to the Editable vs a-Editable regions

      Me kay, so first of all, it's all done within Dreamweaver CS5. How can I explain this, is that I have a series of Master-models for my site, then accompanied by child-models related to offshore of / nested my master-models. So far it's going wonderfully, until what I'm trying to make a page of one of my children-models.

      The page of my child-model accurately comment on an non editable (region in which is editable in the master model, but left as ONLY editable within the child-model) as long as I add an EDITABLE area it contains. In the circumstances I have DO NOT add an editable region in the editable area of the master model, the area within the Page is appearing always editable.

      For example:

      __________________

      Model Master:

      <!-TemplateBeginEditable name = "ChildTemplateCSSLinks"->

      Model child CSS links here.

      <! - TemplateEndEditable - >

      _____

      Child model:

      <!-InstanceBeginEditable name = "ChildTemplateCSSLinks"->

      Model child CSS links here.

      <!-TemplateBeginEditable name = "ChildPageCSSLinks"->

      Child CSS PAGE links here.

      <! - TemplateEndEditable - >

      <! - InstanceEndEditable - >

      _____

      The child page:

      Model child CSS links here. (Precisely appearing not editable - {editable area of the master model tags appearing exactly invisible})

      <!-InstanceBeginEditable name = "ChildPageCSSLinks"->

      Child CSS PAGE links here. (Accurately appearing editable)

      <! - InstanceEndEditable - >

      __________________

      It is a WORKING example of editable regions. In the child Page "Template CSS child links here." Appearing in comment and therefore not editable in the child Page, as if it was supposed to be. This time allows the 'child PAGE CSS links here' to be editable with PRECISION within the child-Page.

      Now for an example of what does not work:

      __________________

      Model Master:

      <!-TemplateBeginEditable name = "ChildTemplateCSSLinks"->

      Model child CSS links here.

      <! - TemplateEndEditable - >

      _____

      Child model:

      <!-InstanceBeginEditable name = "ChildTemplateCSSLinks"->

      Model child CSS links here.

      (As you can see, I've added an extra editable within the editable area of the master model. This is an area which is supposed not to be editable within the child-model and NOT the child-Page, which seems to be up to NOW accurate.)

      <! - InstanceEndEditable - >

      _____

      The child page:

      <!-InstanceBeginEditable name = "ChildTemplateCSSLinks"->

      Model child CSS links here.

      (For a reason, THAT as long as I DO NOT add an additional child-model - edit box in the editable area of the master model, this area is appearing ALWAYS visible but also editable in the child Page.)

      <! - InstanceEndEditable - >

      __________________

      So, in this circumstance, it seems that the only way I can leave ALONE the editable region of the master model can be changed within the child-model and NOT editable in the child Page is leaving an ADDITIONAL editable produced through the child-model somewhere within the editable region EVERY SINGLE, produced by the master model. Unless I do something bad, it seems this until a potential defect/bug in Dreamweaver CS5. I can't imagine how this would be correct, otherwise child/Nested-Templates would be not possible to do. What could I do it wrong? Is it possible that I can specify in the master model is an editable editable ONLY within the child-model and NOT yet child-Pages (A Page based on the template of the child)? Or maybe is it possible that I can specify the child-model that an area can be changed WILL NOT be editable in the child Page? Furthermore, no, I DON'T want to make "Optional Regions", so please do not suggest that.

      I know it's all probably a little confusing, but I hope the examples above more than descriptions aside. As you can probably assume, it is definitely a HUGE complication in my site if it does not end up being a solution, especially with all the time I put into making the child models, which I hope to rely on. It would be really silly if I had to script - in an editable region extra in each master-model-editable-region unique available within my child-model just so that I can update my child-model, in addition to my changes to my child-Pages, to fall as much as it would maintain the content that I never wanted to be editable in the child Page in the FIRST place.

      Some help would be appreciated sincerely, as soon as possible, if I could ask politely.

      Thank you. Sincerely,

      ~ Miss Cat

      = _ = I can't believe that I say this, after having written ALL that a period, but thanks to 'Dreamweaver CS5 for Dummies,' I just found out that if you place: @@("") @ in the editable area of the desired child/Nested model DO NOT passed down for your child-Pages, it won't appear not editable. God knows why such a discrete formula was the answer, but I guess that everything works. ... WHY WAS IT SO DIFFICULT TO FIND INFORMATION? @_ @ Information about nested templates in general seems quite hard to find, however, so I'm glad that I thought that this output /not/ never a full hour / after writing all this upward and detachment. #__#  ... At least my child models can work perfectly now, though. Then... FIXED scenario. ^^

      I hope that now this information will appear useful to someone else hunting for that information via Google or other search engine in the future. And if there is nothing at all that I'm still officially missing, then do feel free to add to food and let me know, because the last thing I need now of law are more surprising difficulties also slow down the productivity of this vast project I worked on... @_ @... But so far things seem to be going well. ^^ So I can just incredibly grateful that he will eventually be a solution to this ridiculous after all.

    • Error in adding an editable region in the nested template header

      I have a basic model for the website (creation of main menus) and a secondary model using this basic model, which establishes a common table, on the one hand of the site layout. After you create the PHP to drive page, I need to lock this secondary nested region - otherwise any edit I make on my secondary & quot; -definition of table & quot; model is not passed to the last pages using the secondary model. I created a secondary edit box successfully in every part of the & lt; body & gt; region, and of course, it locks text outside the secondary editable help DW says it should. So far so good.

      Now the problem - I can not create a region inside the & lt; head & gt; combo box to lock this region too. Normally we'd like keywords and so on to be variable from one page to another, but as I am filling variable keywords from a database, it makes sense to lock the & lt; head & gt; Too much. Does anyone know why that generates an error & quot; failed to create an optional region here & quot;? Is there anything we can do about it?

      > by whom?
      This is DW CS3 help on nested models:

      A nested template is a template whose design and editable regions is based on another model. Nested models are useful for the control of content in the pages of a site that share many design elements, but have some differences between pages. For example, a basic model can contain broader design areas and be usable by many contributors of content on site, while a nested model can further define the editable regions in the pages of a specific section of a site.

      > the solution
      I just figured out how to lock the header in the document of reference to TechNote 16416. It is referenced in the called DW CS3 help page

      Prevent an editable region to a nested model

      In summary - insert the marker @@("") @ in the editable area.

      I tried it and it works perfectly! The cephalic region is now locked in the nested template, so the changes in this area went from child pages. That's the answer.

      I'm trying to insert a spry menu inside Dremweaver CC HOW DO YOU DO

      SPry is no longer supported in 2015 CC DW, but you can do better by inserting a "bootstrap" navigation bar in this way:

      Insert > Bootstrap components > Navbar > Navbar fixed top of page

      There are other styles as well, but I prefer to have a fixed navigation bar so that it is not lost when scrolling down.

    • Can you have editable regions in content holders?

      Hello world

      I had a bit of difficulty getting my work, the editable regions that, through a process of trial and error, I have locked because they do not work if included in a model by the holder of a content.

      This isn't a major problem, but it does not mean I will need the same code in all of three of the four of my models. Initially I store this code in a content holder and pulling the support content in wherever she was needed in a model.

      Of course, I prefer to do the second way for efficiency, maintainability, etc., but I'm not really sure where to start to solve the problem. Does anyone have ideas on this? Is this something that certainly can not be done, or I just do right?

      I'd be interested to hear comments, thanks in advance.

      Hello Ricki,

      You can have editable in your door-content areas, even if the owner of your content is part of the model, it will be always editable through the "Edit" tab on your admin.

      "Don't forget to add some ice: editable = 'content' in your module_contentholder, after the name =" "parameter. This doc will help you, see the.

      The second important thing is to add a coma as he is mentioned in the doc, after the module_contentholder, otherwise that the content will not be rendered, it will just show you the syntax as specified in the model, and you don't want that.

      See you soon,.

    • How can I remove the gap above my Spry menu bar?

      Hi people,

      I have a large website I have built over the years and using different programs but dumped now all thse and works exclusively with Dreamweaver to maintain and improve it myself. So far, I've always had to change each element on each page separately, then upload everything to keep my now large site updated.

      I read that if I did a SSi file for my navigation menu, then I don't have to change it on every other page of my site as long as I have the pages of my site in the form of .shtml files and insert a line of Server-Side Includes in the code of my web pages. All great in theory BUT for a reason that is confusing to me there is a gap appearing at the top of the page that isn't there in the pages that aren't .shtml and have my sprymenu embedded in the code.

      Rather than fix the long code here, it might be easier to see the problem on my live pages. Please go to any page of www.dominicnatoli.com to see how the site with the spry menu in each page and then go to www.dominicnatoli.com/2011.shtml to see a newly loaded page that displays the menu in the file www.dominicnatoli.com/includes/navmenu.shtml. Interestingly, enough if I open the navmenu.shtml alone, it displays at the top of the page, but whenever I open it as embedded code on my content .shtml pages that it does not display the top of the page.

      I have not completely uploaded all site .shtml files that I have encountered this problem and if I can't fix it I'll ababndon this action plan and find an alternative so if you click on some of the menu items and it takes you to a dead end that is not in and of itself the problem that all .shtml files have been uploaded to the server again.

      I have trawled through the css and code to the best of my ability "limited" and am frustrated because I can't find my mistake. He epossibly ar of hundreds of errors in pages like this site was created using many different programs over the decades and that of my reason for trying to make this new menu management is part of my revision stragtegy who already stumbled in the first step. LOL I know say not that us if it ain't broke don't fix it, but I need to sort out a better way to editin the universally navigation menu instead of having to write code in each menu on every page so that the navigation bar be compatible wide wite.

      I would be really grateful if any of you gurus can tell me where I'm wrong so I can reproduce the solution for the rest of my pages. I don't know if the problem is in the page navmenu.shtml and his associates css or in the other with its much larger css shtml page. Thanks for any help you can give me his sort.

      I'm working on Dreamweaver CC and CS6 (this last has an extension insert Server Side Includes that does not work in CC so I tend to use CC for the major updates and the CS6 for the things of the SSI.)

      Please let me know if you need further information or things from me. Thank you very much and

      All the best

      Dominic

      If it's done. Everything what does HTML5 and the menu ssi works on all pages AND all pages pass validation. Thanks for your help.

    • Spry menu bar: can I make a tab NOT a link? The child just come off her?

      Hi, I have DW CS3. I have a spry menu bar which I DO NOT have each tab to be a link to a page. I want to just fall down and show the links of the child. I.E. I have a link that says "Golf Tips", I don't want that is clickable. I just want that he dropped down to the submenus. 'fix my bracket', 'solve my crochet', etc.). Because it seems that each tab should have a link it requires me to create a page of destination which are licensed in the drop-down list coming out of the tab "golf tips". I tried to let the empty link area, but it won't let me. It pops up "Please insert a link."

      Any way around this. Right now I have about 6 of them I need to fix, as landing pages are confusing and unnecessary. Either that or I'll have to get rid of the child and the links just do the landing page. Maybe that's the best option.

      Thank you

      Ken

      If you don't want the link to go anywhere just use an empty anchor «#»  You can't leave it empty because of how work meuns CSS.  The 'a' tag in the CSS, it's what is used to trigger the drop-down menus, but using an empty anchor will ensure visitors won't go anywhere.

    • Editable region can only be changed in Code view

      I recently upgraded to CS5 and launched a new site today (first one I built from scratch in CS5). As usual, I built a model. In this model, I did two editable regions. The first is a div called PageContent. I did the whole div editable. It goes the same for the sidebar DIV. When I create a new page in this model I can change only the editable code view areas. I get the symbol "unauthorized" in Design view.

      The page is fully editable in CS3 in design mode.

    • You can create a locked in an editable region?

      Hello

      I have a box that varies in length for each web page. -This article, I want to make it editable.  In the box, there are 19 references to other web pages on the site.  These references do not change from one page to the next and if possible I would like to locked.  If this feasible and if so, how?

      Thank you.

      Make sure the section in a server-side include or a library item.

      However, that's the answer direct to your question, no, you can't put a region locked in an editable region, however, you can split an editable region in two editable regions, separated by a non-editable area.

    • Why I can't change submenus in my spry menu bar more?

      I need to change the links in some of my submenus existing and add several menu items in my spry menu bar, but whenever I click the submenu item in the list, Dreamweaver becomes "refractory". I restarted the machine and the program several times. I use Dreamweaver CS3 on an imac. I've changed the menu once on an another Imac running the same version, but it does not appear when I downloaded the page on my site. Yes, I also downloaded the dependent files.

      This has happened for a few days and I really need to update my site links.

      Without seeing the page to determine if something prevents the menu works correctly, it is impossible to say. However, Spry menus are simply nested non ordered lists. You should be able to edit the submenus by disabling the page styles. There is a button turn off Styles in the property inspector when you have a selected Spry menu bar.
