Cannot Export Template - New Twist

[Michael]

This is a similar issue to Twaynes's problem on 9/20/08.....but with a
different twist.

I'm trying to Export as Template. The Export fails saying:

"Unable to create a complete template

The following assets are missing because they are from source no
longer available",

followed by a message that the Export failed. Obviously no Exported
template was created.

Then it's followed by:
C:\DOCUME~1\<USER>\LOCALS~1\TEMP\FISTemp\Template\ Assets\formail
..
A couple of things you may need to know:

1. I had to reinstall all my software on my computer recently. Before
reinstalling everything I created templates of all my NOF sites. (I did not
reinstall any versions of NO older than NOF9.)

2. I reinstalled NOF9 and brought the templates back into the program.
Everything seemed to work fine.

3. Upgraded to NOF11. Created new templates from NOF9 and imported the "new"
templates with no problems.

4. Now I cannot export a site to a template created in NOF11.

Your assistance is much appreciated in helping me to correct the problem.

Thanks.

Possibly a misspelling: formail = formmail?

In Assets View, do a verify, look for an incomplete listing. Double
click it; does it give you a page? Click Go To and see if the problem
call is on that page. If there is no Go To, I've discovered it doesn't
hurt anything to just delete that asset; which makes sense, I think.

Have you tried selecting the entire site and then Exporting Selected
Pages? I had a lot of luck with that because it allowed the template to
be saved, and when that template was opened, the missing "Go to" for a
specific page was back where it was missing before.
Also, choosing to not Export unused pages seems to get rid of some
chaff too.

Wish I had more definitive assistance,

Twayne

Thanks Twayne. Tried to export without unused elements...didn't seem to
help. I'll try the other suggestion to see what happens.
