page arbitrarily seems to detach from template

[Monica101]

This has happened a couple of times over the course of several weeks and
involves only 2 pages of many. However, my client is overeacting to this in a
big way so want to identify the problem.

The page seems to just detach from the template for no reason. If I download
the page and select "apply template to page" the page is fixed.

I believe this may have followed a complete re-upload of this section of the
website, so I'm wondering if it's some data transfer issue. Thanks

In the head of the file that gets detached from the template have you checked
if the reference to the Template is intact, c.q. correct?

It should look like this:
<!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/NAMETEMPLATE.HTM"
codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->

<!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/article_template.dwt.php"
codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->

This is the reference to the template. The pages attached to the template are
php pages -- is the template file name the problem?

If the name of the reference displays the name of your Template correctly I
don't think that the problem is in the reference. I never used an underscore in
a Template name, but I can't imagine that that would cause the trouble, because
all your other files work well you said. I asked you to check the reference to
check if the filename corresponds to the name of the Template and if the
reference-code is still intact.

Next step to try is to create a new page from the template and place the
content of the old page that's getting detached in the new page.

1. Make sure you back-up the old page
2. Delete the old page
3. Create a new page from your Template
4. Give the file a new name if possible (if you have to adjust to many links
you could first try to use the old filename, but using a new name prevents
Contribute/Dreamweaver administration files from causing trouble)
5. Copy the content of the old page into the new page

This way you are sure that you have a proper working file linked to the
template and you won't have to look for other hidden problems..
