1. Re: Template's gradient won't copy to new pages
MurraySummers Jan 20, 2011 11:50 AM (in response to Budo Cat)This is what it looks like on the pages I now create from the template:
body {
background-color:#80510F;
background-image:url(file:///Macintosh HD/Users/MyName/Desktop/ProjectName/Root/photos/gradient4.png);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
}Can someone please tell me what's going on?
If you have not yet SAVED this new child page, then the link should look like this. How does it look after you save the page within the site?
If it looks the same, then I'm worried about your site definition - is "Root" the root folder for this site? If it is, then you should NEVER see that folder name appearing in any link on any page.

Budo Cat Jan 20, 2011 12:43 PM (in response to MurraySummers)Hi Murray.
Yes, I saved both pages. I even uploaded them to my site to see if that would make a difference. It didn't. Still no gradient. And the gradient URL on these two new pages still lists my name, folder, etc. (All of the other pages' url is as it's given in the template).
If it helps, you can see the two pages I'm struggling with here:
http://www.anothersource.org/poncho_1.html#
and
http://www.anothersource.org/poncho_2.html#
(I haven't completely finished either page, so please ignore any notes I made to myself)
As you'll see, every page except these two new ones has the gradient. But all of the other template elements -- eg, page texture, solid bg color -- is included on the new pages.
Thank you for your help. This is driving me crazy.
(And yes, "Root" is the the root folder that holds the folders for my pages, photos, CSS, XML, etc. It doesn't seem to appear on any other link on the site. Again, only on these two new pages.)

MurraySummers Jan 20, 2011 1:00 PM (in response to Budo Cat)On the page where you see the gradient, you have this stylesheet embedded in the head -
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-color:#80510F;
background-image:url(../photos/gradient4.png);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
}
-->
</style>
On the page where you don't see the gradient, that embedded stylesheet looks like this -
<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
background-color:#80510F;
background-image:url(file:///Macintosh HD/Users/scottmattoon/Desktop/AnotherSource1/Root/photos/gradient4.png);
background-repeat:repeat-x;
}
-->
</style>
Try editing the link so that it's the same as the other page and save it. Does that work? -

Budo Cat Jan 20, 2011 1:20 PM (in response to MurraySummers)No, I'm afraid not.
I went into the template and made that an editable region, then created a child page. That still had the wrong link, so I copied the correct link from the template and pasted it into the new child page. Still no gradient.
I have even shut down DW in hopes that this was just some kind of glitch. But I still get the same problem with the child page.

MurraySummers Jan 20, 2011 2:02 PM (in response to Budo Cat)No - that's NOT the way to do it.
The link is correct in the template page? Try APPLYING the template to that child page again. But first, REMOVE that editable region you added.

THANK YOU!! That worked.
But, any idea why the template gradient wasn't moving to the child page? And is this something to look forward to with every new page I create?

Cosmic rays? I dunno. It happens rarely. See if it continues....
