Dreamweaver CS3 template-update "error code 3" (a solution)


this error occurs when update template, , there file bad path.

it's weird, really. site knows file attached template you're editing.

but when examine file, see path template wrong.

 

for example, template in {root}/site/webdocs/templates/sometemplate.dwt.

the correct path template in file /templates/sometemplate.dwt,

since "webdocs" root folder files pushed web.

somehow, after moving things around, files had path changed to

/webdocs/templates/sometemplate.dwt

 

i'm sure i'm 1 screwed files, after that, things got weird.

dreamweaver must tell files want updated using template name,

but update if file has correct path template.

so, when modify template , save it, dw asks if want update files.

it shows me list of files updated. (it can long.)

then come 10 or 12 error-message popups say:

invalid path: {root}/site/webdocs/webdocs/templates/sometemplate.dwt

 

the problems following:

  1. the message doesn't explain real issue. namely: file has reference
    template has same name, has invalid path.

  2. it doesn't tell which file has bad template-reference.
    have inspect every file references template, 1 one, until find them.

  3. the list of files updated can quite long, 8 or 10 are
    shown @ time, , you can't copy list.

 

the best solution found use number of errors clue.

generally, problem occurred because there orphaned folder in which

files hadn't had template re-applied--so number of errors matched number

of files in directory appeared in update-list.

 

going folder , opening file, found page didn't right, , that

the template path @ top of html code indeed invalid. (files looked

good had /templates/sometemplate.dwt @ top. wrong had

/webdocs/templates/sometemplate.dwt

 

the manual solution: modify > templates > apply template page each file.

(an ambitious automated solution have been write script modify the

paths in problem files.)

this implies site not defined properly.  should never see server's root folder in local files panel.  locally, site root hard drive folder in files , assets reside.  example:  c:\yoursite\

 

your remote server's root directly must defined in remote server settings.  see screenshot.

following model, local site folder might this:

 

site - yoursite (c:\yoursite)

     about.html

     contact.html

     index.html

     services.html

          templates

               some_template.dwt

         + images

         + styles

         + scripts

         + fonts
