Adding SiteFeedWebPart to a page

Hi all,
I have created a custom Web Template based on Team site (sts#0). When I created a new sub site based on my web template, the page is empty and it does not contain Promoted links, documents list or Site feed web part. So I am trying to add them by a feature
event receiver. but I can not find out how do I create a SiteFeedWebPart instance. I succeeded creating GettingStartedWebPart and added it by using SPLimitedWebPartManager. I have search on google. How I can create a Site Feed web part programmatically
and why the page is empty? thank you alot for helping me.

Hi Medes71,
I’m not sure how you create the custom web template, I just save the existing team site as a template, and create site based on the template, the home page is like the home page of team site
with Get Started web part and Site Feed web part.
If you want to add the site feed web part programmatically, you can use the following code sample to add the default web part:

HELP --- Error while adding Portlets to the Page. (WWC-44012)

Hi all,
I have a pl/sql portlet. It compiles fine and shows up perfectly in portlet repository. But when i add this to the page, I get following error
Error while adding Portlets to the Page. (WWC-44012)
An unexpected error occurred: User-Defined Exception (WWC-43000)
An unexpected error occurred: User-Defined Exception (WWC-43000)
An unexpected error occurred: User-Defined Exception (WWC-51004)
(WWC-00000)
I checked the portlet specification file (.pks) and body file (.pkb) for any mistakes but they seems fine.
Does anyone know what can cause this error?
Any pointers in this regards will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!!!
Rajesh

Rajesh,
Could you provide some more details about your code? I will try to look into possible causes of the error. One thing you may try is subscribing to the Knowledge Exchange on http://portalcenter.oracle.com. Then you could post your code in your community folder and everyone would be able to test it out.
Of course, this means you must be willing to share your code with everyone.

Help with adding audio files to page

I am using DW CS5. I have had numerous troubles adding audio files to any page. Please know that I am not at all computer savy when it comes to html codes etc. But I have been working with DW CS5 and have a functional website and my pages validate. That being said, please be patient with me if I am asking stupid questions or don't understand the solution.
Now to the problem....I originally wanted to add mp3 files...but I am not sure how to work with plugins or which plugin to use.
Therefore, I converted my mp3 files to swf and used the insert media file feature in DW CS5. But when I look at the finished page...I only see a big white box. Nothing happens when you click on it.
First question...which is the best method to add audio files?
Second question...what steps do I need to follow achieve the desired result?
Note: there is one validation error on this page and I'm not sure why or how to fix it. Any suggestions here would be greatly appreciated.

The following audio files were created by Virginia (Stasik) Zarow at the request of Laura (Stasik) Schmidt and Carrie (Stasik) Kot.

Woohoo! I was able to resolve the issue including the validation issue. But I have a follow up question...
Currently if you click on the play button another window pops up which has the play/control/stop buttons to control the audio file. The attribute is set to new window. If I change the attribute to parent window, then the page that has the control buttons overlays ontop of the page with the link.
To get back to the original page, one must click on the back arrow near the address bar.
Isn't there a way to not have a separate window appear? In other words, the controls are embeded into the parent page?

Error while adding Portlets to the Page. (WWC-44012)

Hi everyone,
I am installing the DBPersonalization Manager Provider. I followed directions and am able to successfully bring up the provider's test page. I added the provider to the repository and can preview them without problems. However, when I add the portlet to a page, I get the following error:

I am not sure what this is from but assume that it is having problems communicating with my provider. Does anyone have any idea what this could be caused by?
Thanks in advance...
Esther Poulsen

Hi Sue,
Thanks for your response! I ran the XML file through a validator and examined it manually, and it is fine. Moreover, if I add additional portlets to the provider.xml file, they add themselves without any problems. I'd think the entire thing would break if the provider.xml file was not well formed for any reason. But if anyone has any futher suggestions about this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Esther

I have upgraded to Pages 5.0 and not only are there far fewer interesting templates for me to start working from (I am looking particularly in the Newsletters section) but I am also having a problem adding template styled pages to a new project.
Previously I simply clicked on Insert > Pages in the menu and then selected the layout. I can't seem to find how to do this in 5.0 - all I can do is create a blank section.
I'm sure I must be missing something really obvious but I can't figure out what it is!
Regards, Peter
PS is there any way to upgrade to Pages 5.0 but not lose the decent (interesting) templates? I'm a school teacher and the kids love having interesting templates to start with - these new ones are terrible!

The lack of page/section styles was one of the first features I noticed missing in Pages 5.0. This is really disappointing for me as I've created a number of my own document templates and have made extensive use of page/section styles.
On one hand I can understand why Apple may have removed this feature. It is rather an anomaly among its peers. Microsoft Word does not use page/section styles and to some users it could be a bit of a confusing feature in Pages. I know for me it was somewhat confusing at first. I was used to the MS Word way of doing things and I was wondering how these section style templates differed from me just setting my own section style. But then I figured out that it is like a slide template in Keynote. It is simply a template and can be used as a shortcut to setup a new document section in a standard style. Since figuring out how to use the page/section styles, it has been awesome and has been one of the key reasons I like Pages better than Word and why I switched completely from Word to Pages.
For now, I guess I will have to figure out how to work without it which will basically mean that I will have to go back to the old manual method of just copying and pasting section styles. It will take longer to add new sections with identical styles to a document and will be more buggy. It is likely that I will not always get it exactly correctly which will result in consistency issues in my documents. As well, the inability to copy and paste whole pages/sections from the page thumbnails will make this process take even longer and be even more buggy. But ultimately it is doable.
I can only hope that the page/section templates is a feature that Apple will bring back very soon. I wish someone from Apple would at least let us know if this feature will be making its way back in or if it is gone for good. Accordingly, we could move on or plan for its return.

Problem with Ribbon when multiple List / Library WebPart are added to the same page

Hi,
I'm working on a SharePoint 2013 custom branding (custom master page and layout).
I added one page layout with several Web Part Zones,
<div id="cBottomFirst" class="cThreeColumn cThreeColumndMargin" >
<div data-name="WebPartZone">


<div xmlns:ie="ie">





</div>

</div>
</div>
I have a problem, when I add several List View Web Part to the same page, then when I select one list / library, the ribbon is shown, but it is shown with all option disabled.
Any idea?

Hi,
According to your description, I suggest you check as follows:
1. Please check that whether the ribbon is OK when you use the OOTB feature to add the web part to a page;
2. What if you do the test in IE, will the issue still occur?
Thanks,

Help ! using Calendar & adding text to a page problem !!

Let's hope I make this clear enough for someone to understand.
I am making up a Calendar & I want to add text to certain pages ( photo ).
I click on 'Design' & pick option 2 ( the one where you can add text ), now here is my problem. The text box always starts the text from the right, when I have added the text I want to move it over to the Left or make it central but nothing happens when i hit the space bar, it stays on the right.
Does anyone know a way so I can either move the text over to the Left or do something else to get it on the left or where ever I want it ?
This is most frustrating. If I hit the 'spacebar' now I end up here.
So why can't do it in Calendar !! OR am I just thick & missing something.
Steve ( hope I made myself clear )

Steve:
What theme are you using? In my Pictures calendar the text box below the photos start at the left, i.e. left justified.
But here's a possible way to get it where you want:
1 - type in the text as you want, setting the size and font for the calendar.
2 - copy the text out of the text box
3 - open a text editor and past the text into it.
4 - in the text editors formatting section select "left justification".
5 - select all of the text in the text editor
6 - do a select all in the calendar text box and past the text from the text editor. That should change the justification to whatever you want, left or center.
Do you Twango?

Solved: Adding CommandButtons to a page with templates VM

Hi,
I am trying to add a button on a page generated with JHeadStart. The first I did was drag and drop it from the "Data Control Palete" but the button was lost when the pages was regenerated. So I maked a VM template to generate the page with that button, the problem that when the page is generate the button is on the page, but there is no reference on the XXXXPageDef.xml file, so the button is not working.
How can I create a template to generate the button on page and on the XXXXPageDex.xml?
Thanks
Tony

Tony,
Drag and drop the button again, this will re-add the action binding in the page definition. Then, before generating again, uncheck the group-level checkbox "Clear Page Definition Before Generating", this will preserve your manually added action binding in the page definition.

Pages & AppleScript - adding content and new pages

I build iOS apps for a living and I am taking a stab at making a developer's guide for each app I create (classes and methods used, some terminology, etc.). I'm able to get a list of all my class files and methods of each class from XCode using AppleScript. What I would like to do now is bring them into a Pages document and add some styling to the text. I can get Pages to make a new document from a template but I can't seem to do anything after that - adding a page or text to the template - the template is one page with some styles and a text box placed on page 1. Here's my code for Pages:
tell application "Pages"
   make new document with properties {template name:"DeveloperGuide"}
   tell front document
       set bodyText to body text
       return bodyText
   end tell
end tell
It's been a while since I've used AppleScript and I've never scripted pages so I'm not sure if this is the right approach. It's nice to see that after two years the notoriously ill documented AppleScript dictionaries still exist. Anyway, my return from the code above is "missing value".
Any help would be appreciated.

Are you aware there are two types of templates in Pages? Word processing and pages layout?

Adding WorkFlow to Spaces Pages

Has anyone added workflows/Approval to WebCenter Spaces Page content, I am not talking about the WebCenter Content workflow/approvals but adding a workflow/approval to a page that has had text image or link changes.
We are looking to do in WebCenter Spaces the same functionality that 10G Portal middleware has. In 10g Portal we can set an approval process for any changes that occur on a page. We are being told the only way to do this in Spaces is to import a HTML page from WebCenter Content but doing this we will lose all the functionality of editing that Spaces provides. Additionally our users that update pages are not HTML programmer and need a wysiwyg interface.
I am really shocked that ORACLE would remove this functionality from a new product, but has anyone set up a workflow/approval for WebCenter space page changes? Or is the functionality there, but I talking to the wrong people.

I'm glad you could buy the WCC story. To your questions:
1) The pop editor window is very small, you can resize it but we want to be able to set the with of the popup when it opens, so it dispaly the edit to the same width as the page they are editing.That's an interesting question. Out of my head I'm not aware if there is a parameter to set it up. It might be worth asking in the WCC forum as a separate question (not sure how many people from there monitor also this forum).
2) We want to create a button or link for a user to click to get into the contributor mode instead of using the hot keys, Ctrl-Shift-CThis is definitely possible. Ctrl-Shift-C calls (via a javascript) a service which changes the page's mode to Contribution mode. Note that there is also the third mode - Designer's. I'd suggest to get a tutorial for Site Studio (not Site Studio for External Apps) as it will certainly demonstrate how this can be achieved.
3) We want to modify the style for the editor to match the style for the page, so the uses see exactly what the page will look like as the edit in the editor.Similar to #1 - maybe a separate question would be worth in WCC.
4) We are till looking into the Workflow and the Notification on approvals and how it will work but we are having problems with the email notifications and seeing if the notification can show up in the activity/notifications in Spaces.If I got the point you'd like to see email notifications in what? (Lists? Activities?) in Spaces. I'm afraid OOTB WCC native workflows create just an email, and you'd need to customize your system so that the email is transferred to, for instance, a list item. Alternatively, you could use BPEL rather than WCC native workflows (WCC can hand over workflows like that). BPEL could be, then, integrated with WebCenter Portal. But, yes, it looks complicated.

How to view added rows in table; there is a horizontal line below which any added rows disppear! Pages version 5.1 which I DESPISE!!!!

I just replaced Pages after paying Apple $400+ for replacing a wiped-out hard-drive....
MANY HORRIBLE QUIRKS with Pages 5.1...
the one I listed above.....it's as if there is only one page....I can't see any added rows in the table below this arbitrary line drawn across the bottom! I can ADD the rows, but nothing I type in them is visible!

Do you have Pages '09 in your Applications/iWork folder?
If not ask Apple to give it to you again.
You own it.

Adding Subforms on Click + Page Breaks Problem

Hi all,
i made a form containing a few Sub forms and Text Fields which grow by the Number of Lines the User writes.
However, I made one button to add a sub form containing 5 of these text fields
and it works fine but when it comes to the end of the page and I click on the button again, it doesn't break to the next page, the new sub form is simply added below the last, half cut by the end of the first page...
So my Question is how do I add a page break after the page is either full or a certain number of those sub forms exist?
Kind Regards

I have a similar problem. I have 2 subforms side by side that have independent columns of data. Either one of these subforms may expand onto a second page. I am stumped on how to keep the positioning correct (IE: If the content area flows western style it looks correct on page 1, but if I flow to page 2 the second column ends up on page 2. But if I position the two columns, then page break doesn't work).
For a single row of data you need to make sure your positioned fields are in a subform that is inside a flowed subform that allows page breaks and adjusts to fit.
