New pages made From Template messed up!
in [Dreamweaver]

From: Murray *ACE* on 2 Jan 2008 07:07 Such symptoms are usually caused by an improperly made site definition. Can you tell us what is the path to the local root folder for this site, please? -- Murray --- ICQ 71997575 Adobe Community Expert (If you *MUST* email me, don't LAUGH when you do so!) ================== http://www.projectseven.com/go - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.dwfaq.com - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources ================== "Peace Freak" <webforumsuser(a)macromedia.com> wrote in message news:flfi4g$j9m$1(a)forums.macromedia.com... > Have not seemed to have totally resolved this problem.

From: Peace Freak on 2 Jan 2008 08:44 Thanks for getting back to me Murray. I take it the path you are talking about is in the Manage Sites/ Advanced/Local Info section... Currently this is what I have in there: D's 200:Users:andrews:Documents: Websites:Cambodia Kids: I did have it saved in a less accessible position but have tidied things up and consolidated all my sites into one folder... Anyway, even with this configuration I get the same problem. I hope you can assist me with this...
From: Murray *ACE* on 2 Jan 2008 09:29 While operating in this site, create a new blank HTML page. Drag and drop an image from the file list onto the page. Before saving the page, copy the code for the <img> tag and paste it into a reply here. Now save the page within the site, and repeat the <img> code paste. Let's see how that looks. -- Murray --- ICQ 71997575 Adobe Community Expert (If you *MUST* email me, don't LAUGH when you do so!) ================== http://www.projectseven.com/go - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.dwfaq.com - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources ================== "Peace Freak" <webforumsuser(a)macromedia.com> wrote in message news:flg4g9$a56$1(a)forums.macromedia.com... > Thanks for getting back to me Murray. > > I take it the path you are talking about is in the Manage Sites/ > Advanced/Local Info section... > > Currently this is what I have in there: > > D's 200:Users:andrews:Documents: Websites:Cambodia Kids: > > I did have it saved in a less accessible position but have tidied things > up > and consolidated all my sites into one folder...

From: Peace Freak on 2 Jan 2008 10:15 Thanks again. I hope I have understood your directions correctly. Here is what I get after dropping the image onto the page: <img src="file:///D's 200/Users/andrews/Documents/ Websites/Cambodia Kids/Images/Page11/MBike2.jpg" width="160" height="213" alt="Mountain Bike" /> After saving the page I get this: <img src="Images/Page11/MBike2.jpg" width="160" height="213" alt="Mountain Bike" /> I uploaded the page and it appears as it should with the image. This has really got me intrigued! For the life of me, I can't work out what is going on...

This appears normal. The folder "Cambodia Kids" is the root folder of the site. However your previous post makes it look like you are on a Mac - yet this page shows PC-type paths. Which is it? Try the following: 1. Open Site Manager with SITE | Manage Sites 2. EXPORT this site definition to some recoverable location on your hard drive 3. Remove this site definition from Site Manager's list with the REMOVE button 4. IMPORT this site definition from your location in #2 Now select the site, and remake the link to that file in the Template page. Does that fix things? -- Murray --- ICQ 71997575 Adobe Community Expert (If you *MUST* email me, don't LAUGH when you do so!) ================== http://www.projectseven.com/go - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources http://www.dwfaq.com - DW FAQs, Tutorials & Resources ================== "Peace Freak" <webforumsuser(a)macromedia.com> wrote in message news:flg9pm$fnh$1(a)forums.macromedia.com... > Thanks again.
