1. Re: CS4 Template Help - Pages from Template
Newsgroup_User Feb 14, 2009 4:41 AM (in response to suzzie12)You can't have it both ways.
Templates contain two basic regions: Editable and non-editable. Everything
that is not in the former is by default in the latter. When you create a
template page, you define the regions on your page where you will want to
have page-specific content as editable regions. The remainder of the page
will be non-editable.
Changes to the template page will ONLY propagate to existing pages if those
changes are made in the NON-EDITABLE regions. If this were not the case,
then you would never be able to have unique page content, since each change
to the template page would overwrite those regions.
Now - in that context, you cannot edit regions of a child page that are
non-editable. If you need to do this, then you will have to re-think your
approach to the template, since it it not adequate for your layout.
It's not uncommon for new users to place navigation elements into editable
regions of their template. This is the wrong thing to do. But say more
about what minor teaks you are wanting to make so we can make specific
suggestions. A look at your child page (upload it and post a link to it)
would help us help you.
