Working with Dreamweaver sites
Last updated 3/28/2012
Enable Contribute users to access templates without root folder access
In a Contribute site, you manage underlying file and folder permissions directly on the server. If, for security reasons,
you can’t give users read access to the /Templates folder, you can still make the templates available to users.
1 Set up the Contribute site so that its root folder is the folder you want users to see as the root.
2 Manually copy the template folder from the main site’s root folder into the Contribute site’s root folder, using the
Files panel.
3 After you update templates for the main site, recopy the changed templates into appropriate subfolders as needed.
If you take this approach, don’t use site root-relative links in the subfolders. Site root-relative links are relative to the
main root folder on the server, not to the root folder you define in Dreamweaver. Contribute users can’t create site
root-relative links.
If links in a Contribute page appear to be broken, it’s possible that there’s a problem with folder permissions,
particularly if the links link to pages outside of the Contribute user’s root folder. Check read and write permissions for
folders on the server.

Troubleshoot a Contribute site
If a remote file in a Contribute site appears to be checked out, but the file isn’t actually locked on the user’s computer,
you can unlock the file to enable users to edit it.
When you click any button related to Contribute site administration, Dreamweaver verifies that it can connect to your
remote site and that the Site Root URL you’ve given for the site is valid. If Dreamweaver can’t connect, or if the URL
isn’t valid, an error message appears.
If the administration tools aren’t working properly, there might be something wrong with the _mm folder.
Unlock a file in a Contribute site
Note: Before following this procedure, make sure that the file really isn’t checked out. If you unlock a file while a
Contribute user is editing it, multiple users might edit the file simultaneously.
1 Do one of the following:
• Open the file in the Document window, and then select Site > Undo Check Out.
• In the Files panel (Window > Files), right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), and then select Undo
Check Out.
A dialog box might appear, indicating who has the file checked out and asking you to confirm that you want to unlock
the file.
2 If the dialog box appears, click Yes to confirm.
The file is unlocked on the server.
Troubleshoot connection problems for a Contribute site
1 Check the Site Root URL in the Contribute category of the Site Definition dialog box by opening that URL in a
browser, to make sure that the correct page opens.
2 Use the Test button in the Remote Info category of the Site Definition dialog box to make sure that you can connect
to the site.
