Dreamweaver Templates….

[djrolstad]

I have a client that gave me his website, it was made using Dreamweaver and its using the “.dwt” (dreamweaver templates) how do I update all the pages using the .dwt s? Each-time I try to update it, it can’t find other pages using the same template.

hahah here’s the thing… the client just wants me to change the header of the website only in Dreamweaver. @jkinney7698- I did try this and it couldn’t find any other pages using this template. I was doing research and I think I need a (.ste) file?? I don’t know. If I do receive the .ste file from the client how do I apply it?

Do you have access to all the files?

IIRC, DW will create a folder called ‘templates’ in the build and store the .dwt files in that.

Once the dwt file is updated (assuming the header is in an editable area) then just save it.

Often that is all that is necessary as DW will ask you if you want to apply the changes to all pages. If it doesn’t, you can do a force update from a selection (again IIRC) under Edit>Template….or something like that.

I don’t have DW with me at the moment but can check on my work PC tomorrow and provide a more accurate methodology.

Of course, DW will still have to have access to the template based pages to apply the updates.

Now at work.

In fact the ‘update’ option (CS6) is under: Modify > Templates > Update Pages.
