    DWT & PHP Updating

    Hi,

    i want to use a master.dwt within an php file. 

    If i attache the dwt to 2 php and 1 html file ist look´s like this:

    Updating http://Server/toDelete3

    Updated Default.htm
    Updated ww2.php
    Updated www.php

    3 Files Total
    3 Files Updated
    0 Files Skipped

    Total Time (00:00:00)

    Fine - so far.
    After changing anything in the dwt file and closing it it only say´s this:

    Updating http://Server/toDelete3

    Updated Default.htm

    1 Files Total
    1 Files Updated
    0 Files Skipped

    Total Time (00:00:00)
     

    If i use an harddisk based project everything works fine, meaning it updates all three files. but i´m working with an Win Server 2003 an FPSE2002.
    Bevore i read your small tutorial about the "manage hidden data" option and so i tried to update the FPSE to an Patch in April2006. My FPSE Extention
    says that it is 5.0.2.6790.

    Could someone help me.

    I am not really knowing PHP, but I try to understand Expression Web. And maybe this gives you a clue, although it won't really help, if you want to work on your site on line:

    I understand that you are trying to update the 3 files while working on a website that is located on a server, running FPExtensions? Now I learned that in Expression Web,  you cannot use any Dynamic Web Template features (all menus blanked out), while working on a website that runs on a server with FP Extensions. It may be for the same reason that updating files from a DWT is not possible...

    So you might have to (re)design your site locally (hard disk based) and after that publish it to the server again.  

    I can recommend the book "Using Expression Web" by Jim Cheshire where a lot of "Trouble Shooting" items are listed. This is one of them.

    Wish you a lot of success / Succes gewenst,

    Bert

    That´s wrong !  

    In my case I can use Dynamic Web Templates, as long as i use .html or .htm file on the server.

    Of cause there are some items blanked out, but the functionality attaching and the automatic update after editing the DWT file is working (as long as i use .html files).

    DWTs need meta data to know what pages closed pages are attached to it This means the 2002 FPSEs are needed.  Only Windows 2003 servers received the FPSE update.. Linux FPSE went out of mainstream support. by then so did not get the 2006 update that enabled DWTs to work on the server.

    lf you are working live on the server you will need to open all of pages attached to the DWT in order to have them updated.

    Remember DWTs are designed to work on a local site with meta data enabled.

    What is a loud site?

    Sorry about that. I have a tablet pc and sometimes it has very active gremlins that change what I write.

     I have gone in and edited the post to fix them.

    Should have been a local site. if you re-read my previous post it should be clearer now.
