Cannot link in editable region
I have several different templates that all have an editable region called
"content". If my writers or publishers try to make a link to another website,
it works as normal the first link. The second time, on the same page, they get
an error message that says "You cannot perform this action in this region of
the page." If they open another page or save and close that page, then come
back to it, they are able to make another link. But again, the second time
they get the error message. This is really becoming an annoying issue. We are
using both PC & Mac. I've done all my upgrades and it is still doing it.
Anybody else ever run into this issue or better yet, anybody got a solution??

Do you have Dreamweaver? I recommend putting the page (or template) inside of
Dreamweaver and click on Modify -> Template -> Check Template Syntax.
If everything checks out okay then post the page's code here or post a URL so
we can view. Also, is there some sort of noticable pattern to this behavior?
Does it happen every time, or only on occasion?

greywood #3 Re: Cannot link in editable region
I'm having the same problem. There is a link on my website that I cannot edit
or delete. I get a message that says "You cannot perform this action in this
region of the page." I do not have Dreamweaver. Is there another way to get rid
of this link?

Greywood,
I took a look at your file and I am not seeing the code for a template. I
would expect to see:
<!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/blog.dwt"
codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
at the begining of the code. So to me it look like youre files have not been
created properly to function as a template based page.

RotInPCs #7 Re: Cannot link in editable region
I'm so CHEESED at this problem with creating links in Contribute 3.
I SOLVED it though.
Inside your editable regions, you need to place a <p></p> for people to edit
in. If there's no Paragraph tags you can't put a link in. Don't ask me why.
As to why people can't replicate the error, here's the complicating factor:
You cannot use <br> tags in the paragraphs. As soon as you do, it creates the
problem.
I've got Contribute set to use "single line breaks: ie Word", but I think if
you set a general paragraph style to margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; you'll be
able to avoid the really annoying breaks that paragraph tags add.

JohnQU #8 Re: Cannot link in editable region
Even after pursuing many of the your leads, I do not understand the cause or
causes of this symptom in my own case; however a colleague of mine found a
workaround that may be of use:
If we have a link in any of the editable areas of a template (say a dummy
link) we can copy the link, then edit the text and link target!
PS For what it is worth, my vote is that this is a bug or bugs, and an error
message that is misleading at best.

redbarron #9 Re: Cannot link in editable region
Yes, we use the same work-around with copy/paste then editing the properties of
the copied links. My templates are all created in Dreamweaver and the editable
regions are well defined. I do have combinations of <p> and <br> tags, but
that doesn't seem to be the issue. I agree with JohnQU that this is a bug. It
occurs consistently for all users and there doesn't seem to be a clear
correlate to the CPS administration settings or role settings. Adobe: please
fix this!

cjstora #10 Re: Cannot link in editable region
Does anyone have any further suggestions on this? I've verified and validated
my code in botht he HTML file and the template six ways from Sunday, built in
HomeSite, checked in Dreamweaver, and every time it tells me the Template
syntax is properly formed. I've placed <p> and </p> tags in, to no effect.
I've run out of ideas.
Specific example:
HTML page [url]http://www.smu.ca/athletics/varsity/basketball-w/welcome.html[/url]
Template file [url]http://www.smu.ca/athletics/Templates/varsity-wb-welcome.dwt[/url]

OnDemand Junkie #12 Re: Cannot link in editable region
I searched through Google and Yahoo for this error message and couldn't find an
answer to this error message problem when trying to add a new hyperlink. I
found the answer in my case. I checked to see if any of the includes were
checked out from within Dreamweaver. And sure enough my includes were checked
out. As soon as I checked them in, the error went away. I think Contribute
opens the main page beacuse it's checked in. However if any of the includes
are checked out instead of checked in, it confused Contribute. Ever try and
edit a page in Contribute that is checked out by Dreamweaver? It won't let
you. So naturally it's confused by part of the page being checked in and
another part being checked out.
I didn't find any mention of this on any of the discussion threads, so I
thought I should try and spread the word.
Hope this helps.
