Template allowing edits outside editable areas
I posted this first to the Contribute forum, but maybe someone here can help me
-- refer to

The problem: Using Dreamweaver 7-created Template, users when editing pages in
Contribute 3.1 are able to somehow add letters in non-editable regions.
Specifically, they are able to add single letters in the <HEAD> section, and
this is something they can't see until after they publish the page.
The letters always appear in the same place, at the top of the page. After
this happens, the corrupted HTML code looks like this (see the letter "b" in
attached code).
I the template here: [url]ftp://support:support@ftp.devpike.com/web/[/url]
The users need to be able to edit the Title and Keywords tags.
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style25 {font-size: 11px}
-->
</style>
b
<style type="text/css">
<!--
.style36 {color: #99FF33}

</style>

Lars Forslin #2 Re: Template allowing edits outside editable areas
There is an editable region (unnecessary?) in the header:
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
<META name="keywords" content="">
<META name="description" content="THE NIBBLE(tm), 'Great Finds For
Foodies(tm),' is a website and e-zine reporting on the best gourmet foods,
tabletop and related products. This article reviews [name of product].
Opt-in e-zine delivers a weekly top food pick.">
<META NAME="robots" CONTENT="index,follow">
<META name="copyright" content="Copyright 2004-2005 Lifestyle Direct, Inc.
All rights reserved.">
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
If someone adds text outside the meta tags it will show up at the top of the
page. Temove this editable region and you will be fine.

The users need to be able to edit the Title and Keywords tags.
They are using Contribute, and if I remove the editable regions in the HEAD
that are applied to Title and Keywords, Contribute will not allow users to edit
them.

Yes, but you have two editable regions in the head. The one I pasted you can
remove. It only deals with meta tags.

aliencosmo #5 Re: Template allowing edits outside editable areas
Thank you for your attention to this. If I remove the editable region that
surrounds the meta-keywords, Contribute users will be locked out from editing
keywords and descriptions for their pages -- this was one requirement we have.
I think I may have come across a solution on my own, though. I am testing a
template where I have made use of template parameters, like this (see code
attached) -- I think it will have the effect of locking out Contribute users
from the <head> area of the template, and perhaps will eliminate the stray
letters. I am not sure the users will be happy to have to change the way they
do things, though -- in Contribute, the fields provided are much smaller so its
hard to see what you are typing when you edit one of the template parameters.

Okay, I can understand the need to edit title tag, but meta? Why not add a
description appropriate for the entire site? Google does the rest on the
text itself. Keywords are obsolete nowadays. No search engine uses them
anymore.
