Contribute 3 Permission Sections

DanielKerr · DanielKerr

I have my page setup so that the header and nav are include files and cant be
edited.
My maint content is not an include so that it can be edited, but the problem i
am having with this is that people can delete the table that holds the conent.
I do not wish for them to be able to delete the table, only edit the text and
area with in the table. Is there a way that I can make it so people can only
change the content of the table and not be able to delete the table itself?

Create editable regions in your pages - these regions will be entirely within
your table, so the table itself (and anything else that is outside of the
editable regions) cannot be touched by folks using Contribute.

You do not have to use DreamWeaver to do this, though it helps. This page
gives you some idea what the code should look like:

ml/wwhelp.htm?context=Using_Dreamweaver&file=12_temp9 .htm
Or, as someone else suggested elsewhere in these forums, install a trial of
DreamWeaver, create a template with editable regions just to see what the code
looks like, then use that as a pattern for the rest of your pages.

Ok makes sense.
Does this only work with .htm or .html extensions?
Im trying to do it with a .asp and once I type in the  everything after that turns grey and I cant make any
changes, it wont let me type in the .
Any thoughts about what im doing wrong?

Its not what you are doing wrong it is the order you are entering the code.

Work backwards.

Alright Ill try giving that a shot, thanks for all the help guys.

Okay this is embarassing.
He was able to delete my tables, and thats not something I can have. I really
have to get this to work so that my table set up is used instead of his div's.
Please help me figure this out :D

I think I see the problem,

You are missing out some other tags (see code).


and


Will lock the rest of the page (make sure they are INSIDE the HTML opening and
closing tags.

<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
</head>

<body>


</body>
</html>

soz missed off that you will probably need to consider an editable region around the title tag.

LDudd you are my hero!!!
Thank you all for your help, I have really appreciated it. I hope now my tables will be used for the new intranet instead of my mentors Divs.

Ok my editable regions work perfectly.

Is there a way to keep my editable regions with out it disabling text and font
edits? When I got to edit a page through contribute it only allows me to change
the style but not the font size or weight.

There is an option in the Admistratative options that specifies whether
or not you can use markups like font and font-size. If check the box
you will be able to apply those tags. However, I recommend that
instead you develop CSS styles to apply instead of using <font> tags.

any suggestions would be wonderful, thanks :D
