Hi there,

I'm new to the board. I'm hoping someone can help me.

3 things...

1. I can't get a new template into the Site Definitions area therefore I can't create pages Sad

Can someone pls. PM me to help walk me thru it.

2. Whenever I create a hyperlink in MX 2004, it makes the link portion very small. Why is it doing that & how do I solve the problem?

3. I've put my other template in a test folder until I'm ready to launch & I made each file .php b/c there will eventually be a small line of PHP on there. When I go bring up the path to see the index page live, I get an error message... exoticpublishing.com/test/

Can someone pls. tell me what I am doing wrong.

Thanks so much & I hope your night is going well Smile

Can you please clarify "the link portion very small", <b>is it text? code? DW display bug?</b> If you're able to post a cropped screenshot, you can do that in these forums.

Well, I looked at www.exoticpublishing.com/test/ and got a PHP error: <i>Parse error: parse error in /var/hsphere/local/home/makemone/exoticpublishing.com/test/index.php on line 1.</i> It <b>could be your DW Connection scripts are not uploaded</b>. If you can't figure what that line 1 is causing, post back the first few lines of code here to review.

Hi there,

Thanks for getting back to me Chris. Much appreciated <img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

I don't know how to do the lines for the quotes like you did, so I'll just do it my way LOL

"" * Are you able to setup Site Definitions normally?
* If your Site Definition is all setup, are you able to save any DW Template page you make? Or, is giving you errors, if so - what error?
* Is your DW MX2004 up-to-date? (v7.01 currently)"

I've generally had someone walk me thru the process. I did try to do it on my own this time & it wouldn't take. Then I went back to the screen that was left open & saw the new site name, but the template wasn't on the template side.

For the template that is working fine (I am developing 2 differrent sites), I can create pages & save them no problem.

Yes, I have vs. 7.0.1


""Can you please clarify "the link portion very small", is it text? code? DW display bug? If you're able to post a cropped screenshot, you can do that in these forums.""


It might very well be a DW bug, but I won't know for sure until I can get the pages to display in my test folder. The globe thingy doesn't work either. It just bring up my homepage, not the page that's being created.

I'm seeking the small "text" in my design view.

I can take a screenshot, but cropping it will be a problem b/c I don't have PS to crop it.

Ok, I'm not sure what code from what page you want, so I just took some code from the index page.

It might be that b/c I haven't put PHP into my template yet. I plan to have it there, but I'm trying to find someone who can help me set it up the way it is currently on my site... www.exoticpublishing.com see at the bottom where it says "last updated date/time". That is PHP. It's not in the new templates yet, but I saved all the pages as .php

Do you know PHP? Is that the problem do you think?

Here is the code...

&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?&gt;
&lt;!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;
&lt;html xmlns="www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en"&gt;&lt;!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/newexoticpublishing.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" --&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /&gt;

&lt;!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="doctitle" --&gt;
&lt;title&gt;Exotic Publishing&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;!-- InstanceEndEditable --&gt;&lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../exoticpublishing.css" media="screen" /&gt;
&lt;!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" --&gt; &lt;!-- InstanceEndEditable --&gt;
&lt;style type="text/css"&gt;
&lt;!--
a {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #693B23;
text-decoration: none;
}
a:hover {color: #FF6700;}
--&gt;
&lt;/style&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;


&lt;div id="container"&gt;

&lt;div id="pre"&gt;

&lt;div id="logo"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div id="flashobject"&gt;
&lt;object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="../tstflash.swf" width="320" height="90"&gt;
&lt;param name="movie" value="../tstflash.swf" /&gt;
&lt;img src="../tstflash.swf" width="320" height="90" alt="Exotic Publishing" /&gt;
&lt;/object&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;



&lt;div id="affiliateh1"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="Banner" --&gt;
&lt;div id="pageheader"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;!-- InstanceEndEditable --&gt;
&lt;div id="navlist"&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="TopNav" --&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Home&lt;/a&gt;|&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;About&lt;/a&gt;|&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Consulting&lt;/a&gt;|&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Testimonials&lt;/a&gt;|&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Affiliate Program&lt;/a&gt;|&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Ezine&lt;/a&gt;|&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Business Opportunities&lt;/a&gt;|&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=""&gt;Contact&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;!-- InstanceEndEditable --&gt;


Thanks a ton & I look forward to hearing back from you.
