1. Re: Inconsistent Region Names
Andy Shaffer Mar 13, 2014 9:54 AM (in response to Andy Shaffer)UPDATE:
I've done some more testing and am convinced I found a software bug in how Dreamweaver and Contribute interacts with a certain combination of steps. I'll map out exactly what I've done and how I've gotten around it, in case it helps someone reading this thread...
Scenario
You have a site where templates are managed with Dreamweaver and child pages are edited by Contribute. You then have a template with at least 1 repeating region in it, and you'd like to add another repeating region.
What does not work...
Adding the new repeating region to the template and updating all child pages that use it.
Note 1: This problem only occurs on pages that have been edited by Contribute.
What does work...
Duplicate the template under a new name, add the new repeating region and save it. Now apply the new template to all the child pages of the previous template.
Note 1: If naming conventions are an issue, you can always delete the previous template and rename the new template after you've moved all the child pages.
Note 2: If you are working with a huge site as I am and need to apply the new duplicate template to multiple pages at once, there are round about ways to do it with find/replace. Just google it.
There are a ton of other combinations of adding different types of template regions or parameters that I did not test. But I did test thuroughly that this will happen when attempting to add an additional repeating region to a template that already has one, if the pages are being edited with Contribute.
