Parent templates

[grathx]

G'day
My parent templates are not loading up and therefore not accessed through
contribute CS3. This is stopping me from creating new pages using the
templates. The templates files are .dwt files. In addition when I want to
repeat an editable region and I click on the icon I get a message saying : "You
can't add items to repeating regions because the draft's parent template is
missing or not available to users in your role. Please contact the website
administrator................... which is me, for assistance. In the
administrator preference section I have clicked the box 'Use dreamweaver
templates' and nothing appears in the show/hide template box either. In the
allow users section I can locate the templates folder but it is empty. I'm
wondering whether I need to go back into Dreamweaver and recreate the
templates- what a pain!
Any suggestions on why and how to remedy?

Hi,

Please do the following:
1. Create a folder named 'Templates' inside your site folder on server.
2. Copy your templates(.dwt) in that folder.
3. Launch Contribute.
4. Click on File->New. Templates will be available in New page dialog.

-->If you can't see templates in "New web page or blog entry" dialog, Select
your site in "New web page or blog entry" dialog and Click on Refresh
templates->For selected website/blog.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Lakhwinder

Thanks for the suggestion but, it didn't work. The .dwt files are not appearing. I've created another site as a test and they appear as they should.
Thanks for the assistance

Hi,

Can you send your site details(site URL, protocol used for connection, server
name, username and password) to me at lkaur(at)adobe.com. If you are not
comfortable in sharing your user details with me, you can create a test account
and can give me for test and once i am done with testing, you can delete the
same.

Thanks,
Lakhwinder

G'day,
I had resigned myself to recreating the site, which I did. There were no issues this time. As a result I did not revisit this forum until today. Thank you for your assistance.
