Contribute 3 replacing cfincludes with the include'scontents

[glemon@ecentricarts.com]

I am creating a new page in Contribute 3, based on a Dreamweaver MX 2004
template. When I publish this page and view the source code (in Dreamweaver or
Homesite) Contribute has replaced my <cfinclude> tags with the actual contents
of the include files. I have defined editable regions of the page and the
include tags exist in the non-editable regions. Furthermore, all the dynamic CF
code that existed within the include file has been stripped out.

However, if I create a new page in Contribute 3 based on an exisiting page, or
a page I've designated as a template in Contribute 3, the <cfinclude> tags are
preserved.

Does anyone know how I can use Dreamweaver templates without my include tags
being replaced with their contents?

If I understand your question, I don't think you understand how
includes are supposed to work. If you publish a page built with
includes, and then view the source from a browser and open it in any
editor, you are supposed to see the content, not the tags.

Since you can indeed create a new page based on this template, I'm not
seeing what the problem is. But maybe I don't understand your
question...
