Using templates inside a project

Hello,
I have a LV Project and I have a folder inside my project named Templates. Inside the Templates folder there are a few template VIs I made with names "Template_Name.vi" specific to that project.
Now and then I need to copy a few templates files into another project folder so I start programming off the templates.
All my folders in the project are auto-populating, so I can maintain source control and parallel programming with another developers.
If I copy directly the templates files from one folder to another, the project shows a duplicate file conflict, but soon I rename the copies to new names. I would expect that the conflict would disappear, but it does not, the project locks and I have to force it shutdown.
The only way I can do it gently is to open the template file and "Save as" it into the target folder with a different name, but I have to open every file and tell it to save as, so it takes a lot more time.
I am using LV 2010 with all updates from the auto update.
Isn't there a way to tell the LV project to REFRESH so it re-checks the conflicts and so it sees that the duplicate file name conflict no longer exist and go back to normal operation?
The resolve conflict window stays with the file name conflict even after I had renamed the duplicate files and all of its options are disabled.
Thank you
Andre

Hello Andre
The best way to manage VIs in several projects is creating Libraries. You can create a Library called Template and import it inside your projects.

Can I import HTMLs from inside the project and use as portlet page ?

As you know, I am using Java Studio Creator 2 Update 1 for my current portal project. I have created JSR-168 JSF Portlet Project for my portlet development.
As I have some html pages ready for my development,
Can I import HTMLs from inside the project and use as portlet page for my project?
I did the followings steps:
1: In side the project - File -> Add Existing Item -> Web Page ( imported test.html page from my local folder)
2: Let it convert some of the tags for me ( so now it becomes - �test.jsp� )
3: Set it to initial view.
4. A default portlet page � newPortletPage.jsp is still there with no initial view.
Now after doing this, No Visual Designer and Properties window available to for that �test.jsp� page. Though it allowed me to �build� the project successfully.
When I build and run the portlet application, got the error message �Error occurred in portlet!� on Pluto Portal. Please advice.

You do not open fcpproject files. You don't double click or anything else. The files have to be in the correct folder structure in the Final Cut Projects folder and the application opens them automatically. Can you post screen shots of the Final Cut Projects folder and its location.

Can a RoboHelp project be used as a template for other projects?

I noticed there is the ability to "duplicate a layout". Does
that mean I can use my RoboHelp project with all its settings as a
template for other projects. I corrupted an existing project by
deleting a generated HTML file. I forced an update on one of the
chapters in a linked FM book and now for whatever reason in the
generated output, the entire book is being re-created within the
folder for the chapter in which I deleted the HTML output and
forced an output.
Surely I don't have to redefine all the settings again in the
FrameMaker Document Settings dialog, and in the WebHelp layout. All
enlightenment is much appreciated. Come on baby give it to me one
more time! Sorry couldn't resist. It is Friday after all.

Hi there Writerman_in_TO
You seem to have a multiple segmented question.
I noticed there is the ability to "duplicate a layout". Does
that mean I can use my RoboHelp project with all its settings as a
template for other projects.
In one way, yes you can. You are able to use Windows Explorer
to copy the project folder to a new location. Once you do that, you
can open RoboHelp and open the project. Then click File > Rename
Project and off you go.
Not sure what to tell you about the Frame > RoboHelp
mashup. Not familiar with Frame yet. Hopefully someone more savvy
there will pop in and help.
Cheers... Rick

Bulk create Project Site using template

Hi,
We have around 1000 projects in our PS2013 environment, and project site is not associated any of them. We have created a new template for project site.
To now create and associate this template with each project (without having to manually publish), we have to use option of managing connected site, but here we can create only one site at a time.
Is there a way for bulk create for multiple projects in one shot?
Thanks in advance
Atul Sharma

Hi Atul
It might be a little late for this answer but given that template names are fixed most of the time and don't change often, i use powershell to obtain the template ID and simply pass it on in the code to be used at the time of creation
//////// Powershell to get Template Name/////
$url = “https://servername/pwa”
$site= new-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite($url )
$loc= [System.Int32]::Parse(1033)
$templates= $site.GetWebTemplates($loc)
foreach ($child in $templates){ write-host $child.Name “ ” $child.Title}
ID should look something like this -- {7E3D804F-0EB0-46E1-8D12-1FC4C441DF99}#Custom Project Site Template V15
Once i get the desired ID's i use them in code to create the site
SvcWssInterop.WssInteropClient WsClient = SetWSSInteropClientEndPoints();
SvcWssInterop.ProjectWSSInfoDataSet WssProjInfoDS = new SvcWssInterop.ProjectWSSInfoDataSet(); WssProjInfoDS = WsClient.ReadWssData(PrjUID);
SvcWssInterop.WssSettingsDataSet WssSettingDS = new SvcWssInterop.WssSettingsDataSet(); WssSettingDS = WsClient.ReadWssSettings();
SvcWssInterop.WssSettingsDataSet.WssAdminRow adminRow = WssSettingDS.WssAdmin[0];
string siteCollection = adminRow.WADMIN_DEFAULT_SITE_COLLECTION;
string templateName = "{7E3D804F-0EB0-46E1-8D12-1FC4C441DF99}#Custom Project Site Template V15";//adminRow.WADMIN_STS_TEMPLATE_ID;
Guid wssWebAppUid = adminRow.WADMIN_CURRENT_STS_SERVER_UID;
int templateLCID = adminRow.WADMIN_STS_TEMPLATE_LCID;
System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(5000);
WsClient.CreateWssSite(PrjUID, adminRow.WADMIN_CURRENT_STS_SERVER_UID, string.Empty, adminRow.WADMIN_STS_TEMPLATE_LCID, templateName);
PrjClient.QueuePublish(Guid.NewGuid(), PrjUID, true, "");

New folder is not visible inside my project but shows in Windows Explorer.

I created a new folder under another folder. The new folder is not visible inside my project but shows in Windows Explorer. Also, if I try to add another folder of that same name, it denies the action since the folder (although invisible) already exists. My co-worker can access the same file (on a share drive) and see the new folder just fine. This error occurs whether I was the one creating the new folder or she is the one creating the new folder. I am new to RoboHelp and she has used it for years. I suspect something is not yet set up right on my side. Ideas? (I thought I posted this yesterday but I can't find it anywhere)

Hi there
What version of RoboHelp are you using?
Did you create the folder from inside RoboHelp or did you create it using Windows Explorer?
Cheers... Rick

Can you set a Cost Rate Table to be used for an entire project

In earlier versions of project, the default cost rate table (A) is used unless changed by the user for each assignment. In 2010, is it possible to define which cost rate table to use for the entire project, not at the assignment level?
Thanks.

Hi melduncan,
Welcome to this Microsoft Project forum:)
I assume you want project to have a default cost rate, so why not set the cost rate details into A to begin with, You could then set this as a template from which you initiate all your new projects see FAQ
Item: 8. New Project Template. FAQs, companion products and other useful Project information can be seen at this web address: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm
Hope this helps - please let us know how you get on :)

Aperture Does Not Import Videos using IMPORT FOLDER AS PROJECTS

SOLVED - Aperture 3.2.1 does not import videos using "Import Folder as Project"
After 2 days of trying to figure this out (actually around 2 hours total) I've finally managed to import all my photos & videos last year. 200 Gigs 54,000 files. First few tries resulted with referenced photos only, no videos. I had no luck with Google, even tried moving a couple of .plist as mentioned from this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11188017?messageID=11188017#11188017 - this worked for some but not for me. Some issues were solved by NOT selecting "Raw Only", this will cause Aperture to skip your videos.
Thank you to these people who took time to share. In return I am posting my micro contribution to the Aperture Community. FILE > SWITCH TO LIBRARY > then create a new library. You should be able to import your photos with videos in folders.
I hope this gets into Google soon. :-)

, I see only the file, where these photos are, not the photo names or thumbs inside the file (Aperture import path).
You mean in the Aperture Import panel the folder, where the jpegs should be, is empty?
Then you may have excluded jpegs from import in your "Import Settings".
Check the above settings in the "Import Settings" options in the "Import Window". I.e-make sure the Raw+Jpeg Pairs option is set to "Both", even if you do not import raws.
After reassembled all the programs to a new hard drive in Mac Pro
Is this new Harddrive your system volume? And are the jpegs you wat to import located on this drive? Or are the on another external volume? If yes, how is this volume formatted?
Have you checked the permissions and ownership of the jpegs?

Excel busy when I try to modify a template of MS Project visual report

(Sometime) when I try to modify a xlst template for MS Project (2013) visual report MS Project say me that excel is busy.
But Excel is closed. I try to close and re-open bot excel and MSProject but say me always that cannot open visual report (based on my custom template) because excel is busy.
In my template I inserted also an external connection to other data (coming from another database).
The template is populate with "visualize report" ....
Also If I try to modify the template (using MS PRoject function) MS Project say me that MS Excel is busy...
I used that template sussefully... but when I make some update to template file (for example add a table o a simple text) then MS Project is not able to open excel file.... but I don't understand why. So I have to rollback modifies and take previous template
version.
[Note:] could be something related to which sheet (of template xlst file) has focus on when saved?
thank you.
regards
db
Daniele.b75

could depend by what I choose when close & save the template?
Excel ask me...
Sometimes I try to click on SI .... or NO ... but always MS Project says me that Excel is busy.
please.... help
thank you

Making Project Server Enterprise Templates available in Project Professional (2013)

I've created an Enterprise Template on Project Server 2013. It doesn't have a template Project Plan, only a SharePoint Project Site Template and a few project-level details (department, etc.)
The template is available and works well when creating a new project within the PWA, but it is not available for a Project Professional client. I see two tabs - Featured and Enterprise, and no templates are listed under enterprise.
What am I doing wrong?

Sean --
You need to create a project template in Microsoft Project 2013 and save it as an enterprise template in Project Server 2013. You can then associate the project template with the EPT. Once you have created the project template using Microsoft
Project 2013, you will see it in the Enterprise tab in the New dialog in Microsoft Project 2013. So, you are just missing a step. Hope this helps.

Questions on using templates [CS3]

Greetings,
I'm trying to figure out the best way to approach an InDesign task, and my rank-novice-level experience isn't cutting it. Normally I'd read through a gazillion help pages and do a bunch of tutorials to try and teach myself enough to answer the questions on my own - but I'm a new parent (~2 months), so don't really have the time to take my usual approach; indeed, it took me several days just to write up this question and post it. So any help is *much* appreciated!
What I'm trying to do: create ~80 cards for a board game. Each will have similar layout, so creating a template file seems like the way to go. I've never worked with templates before, but doing so seems straightforward enough for things like text, or for an illustration which would be different on every card. However:
Difficulty #1: Some cards are of one type - call it type A - while others are of type B. Several graphical elements are always the same for a given type, but are different for A vs. B. I'm sure there must be a simple way to say "this file uses all items for type A, and not B", but I'm not sure if this would be best done using different templates, different master pages, setting which layers are visible on an imported photoshop file, or some other technique. (Did I mention I'm a total novice with InDesign?)
Difficulty #2: There are half a dozen graphical elements (icons), each of which may or may not appear on a given card. Using templates or master pages for all permutations of their visibility seems like a bad idea. But if I simply delete the not-shown objects from each file (assuming one can do such a thing when using templates), that makes later changes (which might involve re-adding them) difficult. In Photoshop or Illustrator - both of which I'm more familiar with than InDesign - I'd simply make the layer/object non-visible; is there an equivalently simple way to "get rid of this object, but let it be easy to bring back" in InDesign? (I've found the "nonprinting" attribute, but that doesn't seem to hide it from view while editing, which makes verifying the layout as correct rather onerous.)
Trying to look ahead #1: Eventually, I'd like to create an InDesign document which imports all of the single card files into an easily printable layout (9 cards to a page); I'm told this is possible. Is there anything I should know to avoid shooting myself in the foot / making this task unreasonably difficult? (eg: if InDesign throws tantrums when you try to import multiple documents based off the same template, I'd sure like to know that before making 80 cards based off the same template.)
Many thanks to anyone who can help!
--Eric

I'd make the card file at the trim size, and add a bleed allowance if you need one. Export this to PDF withthe bleed, but NO MARKS.
Ah, here's where I display my novice status:
1. So you'd suggest just one card file, rather than one file per card all using the same template?
(If relevant: it would also be useful to be able to distribute 9-up PDFs of, eg, the only the 16 cards which changed in a particular revision.)
2. I'm familiar with bleed allowance, but am guessing at what you mean by "trim size", and don't know at all what you're referring to by Marks? My experience with actual pre-press production is pretty much nil.
I should probably mention, since I didn't earlier, that there is a downside to overriding master objects. If you apply a new master, or reapply the old one for some reason, the overridden objects remain and new master objects will be replaced where missing. Also, if you make any chages to an overridden object, that attribute, such as size or position, for example, loses it's link to the master and will no longer update if the master object is edited.
Mm, that is a difficulty; if I'm understanding this correctly, if I (eg) replaced or moved one of the icons on the master page, it would change on every card for which it was visible (printable), but not on those cards where it had been overridden to be non-printing - only a problem if I have to change which icons show on which cards, but that will certainly happen from time to time.
Is there a way to tell an object "stop overriding and re-load all your information from the appropriate master object"?

How to use settingsfilegenerator in c# project which is part of biztalk solution

As part of expression shape in the orchestration, I am calling a c# method by providing input parameters.
MyCompanyName.Integration.MyProjectName.Project.ListsProxy.SubmitFilesToDropOffLibrary
(XmlInputMessage,
MyCompanyName.Services.ConfigStore.SSOClientHelper.Read("ProjectName", "InboundTransportLocationAddress"),
InputMessage.SelectRecord.DOC_IDENTIFIER + "*");
One of the parameters "MyCompany.Services.ConfigStore.SSOClientHelper.Read("MyProjectName", "InboundTransportLocationAddress")"
is looking into the settingsfilegenerator and taking in the right values.
However,it's not picking when used as part of c# project.
As part of the method in the c# project, I have a string hardcoded with url.
string x = "http://.....";
the url need to change for every environment of deployement. So I want to change the hardcoded url to picked up from the
settingsfilegenerator.
So in the settingsfilegenerator, I have added
<Row>
        <Cell ss:StyleID="s77">
          <DataSubmitFileEndpoint ss:Type="String">GetTaxonomy</DataSubmitFileEndpoint>
        </Cell>
        <Cell ss:StyleID="s78">
          <Data ss:Type="String">http://.......asmxx</Data>
        </Cell>
        <Cell ss:StyleID="s78">
          <Data ss:Type="String">http://........</Data>
        </Cell>
        <Cell ss:StyleID="s78">
          <Data ss:Type="String">http://........</Data>
        </Cell>
        <Cell ss:StyleID="s78">
          <Data ss:Type="String">http://........</Data>
        </Cell>
        <Cell ss:StyleID="s78">
          <Data ss:Type="String">http://........</Data>
        </Cell>
      </Row>
string x = MyCompanyName.Services.ConfigStore.SSOClientHelper.Read("MyProjectName", "GetTaxonomy");
But it's not picking up from the settingsfilegenerator. It's working when used as part of orchestration but not when used in the c# project. I have added
the reference for config store in both. But not working in c# project.Could anyone help please

It's working when used as part of orchestration but not when used in the c# project. This is very confused. :(
you could check whether give a reference properly first.

How to get 2nd line in smartforms using template

how to get 2nd line in smartforms main window using template. i have also defined loop .

if possible can you try with the TABLES..
Put one TABLE in your MAIN window
create table lines as per your requirment...consider all lines like 6 for header, 1 for main, 1 for total
Now, you will find three section under the tables: header, main, footer...
in header section, create a table line, assign one of the proper lines from the line types.. repeat for your all lines.
in main section, you can access your data form the loop.
the footer secion will be called, just after the main will be finished.

I had just put the finishing touches on my 36 minute documentatary when I got an error message that the external 1TB HD I was using to store the project had been ejected improperly (must have shaken a cord). The result is that the project would not load

I had just put the finishing touches on my 36 minute documentatary when I got an error message that the external 1TB HD I was using to store the project had been ejected improperly (must have shaken a cord). The result is that the project would not load in the edit Projects window. I can see the file in the finder window and it will launch iMovie but the file itself will not load in the projects window.
I have contacted apple support and they tried to do a few things... to no available.
With my limited knowledge of file structures I assume that the header file must be corrupt.
Is there a 3rd party utility that can decompile and fix the file structure so it will load properly. I've been working on this project since june and would hate to have to redo the whole thing again.
