unlock head tags on child page based on template

Pea-Jay · Pea-Jay

Here is what I have done so far:
I highlighted the body tag, then modify > templates > make attribute editable.

But when the box opens it doesn't say body, it says id. I went ahead and did
it anyway.

Updated.

Created a blank page with a video so that I could have the code that goes in
the head tag and the script that goes in the body tag.

Went to the child page, modify > template properties, but I can't put anything
in the box that pops up. And I can't put anything on the page itself.

Here is my template:
[url]http://www.pjkwebdesigns.com/Templates/templatepjk_dwt[/url]

Here is my index page
[url]http://www.pjkwebdesigns.com/index.htm[/url]

Here is my child page:
[url]http://www.pjkwebdesigns.com/pages/videos.html[/url]

This is the test page (you won't have the video because it's not online, but
you can see the script and code and where it is supposed to go)
[url]http://www.pjkwebdesigns.com/pages/test.htm[/url]

This just isn't working, so obviously I'm doing something incorrectly.

Please look at my pages and tell me what you see and what you think I've done
wrong and what I need to do to change it and make it right.

I gotta get this down before I have to put those videos on their pages. If
I'm asked, I'm gonna panic! because their sites are template-based!

Thanks

You're getting closer. When you use the Editable Attribute feature, you are
NOT making the tag editable, you are making an attribute of the tag
editable.

In your case, the attribute you would want to make editable is the onLoad
attribute. That's because it is where the call is made to check the Flash
version -

<body onload="MM_CheckFlashVersion('7,0,0,0','Content on this page requires
a newer version of Macromedia Flash Player. Do you want to download it
now?');">

Here's how I think you should proceed:

1. Manually add an editable region at the bottom of your template page,
immediately above the </body> tag, e.g.,


</body>

Save the template, and let that new editable region propagate to the child
pages.

2. Add the FV to a dummy (non-templated page).
3. Manually copy the markup from this non-templated page to the child page
as follows -

Place this -

<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_CheckFlashVersion(reqVerStr,msg){
with(navigator){
var isIE = (appVersion.indexOf("MSIE") != -1 &&
userAgent.indexOf("Opera") == -1);
var isWin = (appVersion.toLowerCase().indexOf("win") != -1);
if (!isIE || !isWin){
var flashVer = -1;
if (plugins && plugins.length > 0){
var desc = plugins["Shockwave Flash"] ? plugins["Shockwave
Flash"].description : "";
desc = plugins["Shockwave Flash 2.0"] ? plugins["Shockwave Flash
2.0"].description : desc;
if (desc == "") flashVer = -1;
else{
var descArr = desc.split(" ");
var tempArrMajor = descArr[2].split(".");
var verMajor = tempArrMajor[0];
var tempArrMinor = (descArr[3] != "") ? descArr[3].split("r") :
descArr[4].split("r");
var verMinor = (tempArrMinor[1] > 0) ? tempArrMinor[1] : 0;
flashVer = parseFloat(verMajor + "." + verMinor);
}
}
// WebTV has Flash Player 4 or lower -- too low for video
else if (userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf("webtv") != -1) flashVer =
4.0;

var verArr = reqVerStr.split(",");
var reqVer = parseFloat(verArr[0] + "." + verArr[2]);

if (flashVer < reqVer){
if (confirm(msg))
window.location =
"http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash";
}
}
}
}
</script>

into the editable region in the head of the page.

Then place this -

<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,0,0"
width="262" height="231" id="FLVPlayer">
<param name="movie" value="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf" />
<param name="salign" value="lt" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="FlashVars"
value="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Halo_Skin_3 &streamName=Farewell_valse69op1_ChopinSm_Prog&auto Play=false&autoRewind=false"
/>
<embed src="FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf"
flashvars="&MM_ComponentVersion=1&skinName=Halo_Sk in_3&streamName=Farewell_valse69op1_ChopinSm_Prog& autoPlay=false&autoRewind=false"
quality="high" scale="noscale" width="262" height="231" name="FLVPlayer"
salign="LT" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

into the body of the page wherever you want it.

Then place this -

<script type="text/javascript">
MM_CheckFlashVersion('7,0,0,0','Content on this page requires a newer
version of Macromedia Flash Player. Do you want to download it now?');"
</script>

into the editable region at the bottom of the page (the one named
"FVScript").

You will be good to go.

All right. I'll give that a try. But I think when I highlighted BODY it
didn't highlight the onload area, but everything below the <body onload......>,
so should I delete that editable area and start over and highlight the code
within the code? rather than in the bar above the PI? (whatever that thing is
called). That is where I highlighted it the first time. Highlight body and it
highlights starting with the <div id="@@(id)@@">.................
< body onLoad="P7_initPM(0,14,1,-20,10)">
< div id="@@(id)@@">
< div id="mainbox">

But maybe I don't need to start over. Doesn't that @@(id)@@ mean I've already
made the body editable?

Murray *TMM* · Murray *TMM*

If you select the body tag on the tag selector, you can then make any
attribute of the body tag editable. If the attribute is *already* present
in the body tag, you will see it in the dialog panel. If it is not, you
just manually enter it.

<div id="@@(id)@@">.................
< body onLoad="P7_initPM(0,14,1,-20,10)">

You should not see markup like this in your page - a <div> cannot appear
above the <body> tag.

Okay, I did select the body tag on the tag selector , but it only highlighted
everything below the < body onload code....> and the only option the dialog
box gave me was to select ONLOAD. So I did. And this: <div
id="@@(id)@@">................. is what now shows on the child page, meaning
the body is editable, yes? no? Then I tried to modify the child page, but the
video still could not be inserted.

If you select the body tag on the tag selector, you can then make any
attribute of the body tag editable. If the attribute is *already* present
in the body tag, you will see it in the dialog panel. If it is not, you
just manually enter it.

<div id="@@(id)@@">.................
< body onLoad="P7_initPM(0,14,1,-20,10)">

You should not see markup like this in your page - a <div> cannot appear
above the <body> tag.

OK - two questions:

1. What do you want to add to the body tag?
2. Do you care about the parameter named "id" that you have already
inserted in this page?

On this blank page is a video (and it doesn't have to be THIS video - just ANY
video), and the code that is on this page needs to go on a template-based page.
[url]http://www.pjkwebdesigns.com/test.htm[/url]

The > < div id="@@(id)@@">................. that was created was because from
the template I made the body editable, so no, I don't care about that. Just
that if the body is not editable, which it is not on a child page, then I can't
add a video because it has various scripts and such that need to go in the head
tags and in the body tags.

So the process of making the template head and body editable was supposed to
work so that I could insert a video on a template-based page, but it didn't, at
least not for me.

So the above test page has the information that Flash Video creates when I
insert a video on a web page.

Pea-Jay · Pea-Jay

You may not see the actual video on this page as it may come up blank. I
didn't put the video online; however, you can STILL view the source code. So
if it comes up white, the source code is still on the page.

Murray *TMM* · Murray *TMM*

OK - I have made you a new template -

[url]http://www.murraytestsite.com/Templates/templatepjk.dwt[/url] (you will need to
relink everything if you use this page)

and the page based on it is here -

[url]http://www.murraytestsite.com/pjkdesign.html[/url]

Look at the code on the template page and then on the child page to see what
I did.

Hmmm............when I open those, I can't save them. Doesn't give me an option to save. I guess I'll just see if I can figure out the code. I can view the source code.

Thank you.

See, this is what I get when I try to save it:

View source. Select all. Copy. Open DW. Open a new page. In code view
select all, and paste. Save as whatever you want.

Okay, thank you. Also, you know, I think the reason I never thought about this
template-based problem is because I realized I have an old template-based site
that I'm redoing, but still need to update it while I'm working on the new
site, and I had put a video on this page with no problem, and it's
template-based. So until I tried putting one on my own page (because I need to
do this for 2 more clients) I never even realized there was a problem.

The one on this page just was inserted without any problem at all.

I had exactly the same problem recently. The only fix i could really find online was to detach the template from the pages i wanted to use the swf in, so i could remove the editable area and insert the swf directly. Which of course meant that i had to go in manually to those pages to make changes because any changes to the template of course wouldn't update. It's not ideal, but it worked.
