Need a little help getting started

Hi lisadye,

Sounds like you've made a great start!

What information did you want to reside inside of your template? If you can explain exactly what it is you're trying to achieve, we'll be happy to help. :)

Hi lisadye,

Can you elaborate on what you mean by "don't work anymore"? Do they show errors, show the wrong information, or show nothing at all?

Yes, please attach a not-working file to this thread so we can have a look.

Hi Chris. I finally figured out what the problem is but not sure how to stop it from happening. I create a template in Dreamweaver and then build my pages based on that template. I go to each page and copy in the php code and it works fine.

But, if I edit the template in Dreamweaver, it updates all the pages and replaces the top portion of the php - (this below):

<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=utf-8'); ?>
<?php

require_once "/home/content/p/c/w/pcwebadmin2009/html/cmsAdmin/lib/viewer_functions.php";

list($aboutRecords, $aboutMetaData) = getRecords(array(
'tableName' => 'about',
'where' => whereRecordNumberInUrl(1),
'limit' => '1',
));
$aboutRecord = @$aboutRecords[0]; // get first record

// show error message if no matching record is found
if (!$aboutRecord) {
print "Record not found!";
exit;
}

?>

Do you know how I can stop Dreamweaver from overwriting that piece of code each time? And, maybe this is a question for Dreamweaver and not you guys :) But, just hoping someone else has encountered this before and can give some advice.

By the way, LOVE your CMS Builder product. It took me about 4 hours to 'learn' the product. Not bad and WELL worth the money. I plan to purchase a CMS Builder license for every one of my clients that wants to manage their own site. Very cool!

Hmm,

Unfortunately, I don't use Dreamweaver, so I can't say for sure... but I did some quick googling, and it looks like there's a "Never Rewrite Code" option that you can toggle that might help with that.

See this page for details:

I hope this helps. :)
