Applying customized template

I have a problem trying to apply a customised template.
1 I customized the Modern Type template by changing the cover image and chapter 1 image to a different jpg, and also by changing the font and font colour, and finally by changing the colour of the dividing lines in the section pages
2 I gave this template a name and saved it, and it now shows up in the Template Chooser
3 when I choose it, it opens correctly
4 however, when I insert a chapter from a Word or Pages document and I am prompted to pick a layout for the imported content, the only options I see are those for the original Modern Type template (teal, blue, orange etc, with black Helvetica font) - it doesn't offer me my customised version
5 therefore, I can't choose the customised chapter page (= with the new background), nor can I choose the customised Sections (= with the new font & font colour etc) - all I'm offered are the pre-set versions (= the teal, blue, orange etc chapter pages, and the black Helvetica font, with black lines)
So, how do I apply a customised template so that when I import a document and create a new chapter, this new chapter (and its sections) follow the customised template?
Thanks in advance.

Not sure what happened, exactly, but....when you made changes and worked towards your custom template, did you apply them throughout in any manner or did you just drop them in and saved w/new template name?
The latter - I just made the changes and saved with a new template name.
I've been doing some research, and I've seen that I should follow a different process at least as far as sections and pages are concerned, by using the View > Show layouts path.
However, I still haven't managed to get the cover page and chapter pages to adopt the new background image - View > Show layouts offers only the stock covers/colours.

Apply custom template on a site in programming

Hi;
I search a code in VS (programming) to apply a custom template (WSP) on a SharePoint site empty (black site).
Like in power shell :
$SubWeb = New-SPWeb $SubSiteName -Name $SiteName -UseParentTopNav
$SubWeb.ApplyWebTemplate($SiteTemplate.Name)
Regards;

Here is an example which shows how to create a site collection using a webtemplate:
SPWebApplication webApp = SPWebApplication.Lookup(new Uri("http://win2008"));
using (SPSite site = webApp.Sites.Add("/sites/site1", "SharePoint", null, 1033, null, "administrator", "Administrator", "[email protected]"))
SPWeb rootWeb = site.RootWeb;
// Get Solutions Gallery
SPDocumentLibrary solutions = (SPDocumentLibrary)site.GetCatalog(SPListTemplateType.SolutionCatalog);
// Upload Solution File with the Web Template
SPFile solutionFile = solutions.RootFolder.Files.Add("test.wsp", File.ReadAllBytes(@"..\..\test.wsp"));
// Activate Solution
SPUserSolution solution = site.Solutions.Add(solutionFile.Item.ID);
// Activate Features
Guid solutionId = solution.SolutionId;
// Activate Site Collection Features
SPFeatureDefinitionCollection siteFeatures = site.FeatureDefinitions;
var features = from SPFeatureDefinition f
in siteFeatures
where f.SolutionId.Equals(solutionId) && f.Scope == SPFeatureScope.Site
select f;
foreach (SPFeatureDefinition feature in features)
site.Features.Add(feature.Id, false, SPFeatureDefinitionScope.Site);
// Get Web Template
SPWebTemplateCollection webTemplates = site.RootWeb.GetAvailableWebTemplates(1033);
SPWebTemplate webTemplate = (from SPWebTemplate t
in webTemplates
where t.Title == "test"
select t).FirstOrDefault();
if (webTemplate != null)
site.RootWeb.ApplyWebTemplate(webTemplate.Name);
The main thing here is that the site on which a webtemplate is to be applied should be created from a blank template first.

Custom Templates to Discoverer Reports in BI Publisher (after Integration)

Hi All,
I have successfully managed to integrate Oracle Discoverer and Oracle BI Publisher.I also can access the Reports from Discoverer in Oracle BI Publisher. I was trying to apply custom templates to the Discoverer reports.Is it possible to apply custom templates (.rtf) to Oracle BI publisher reports? Is this possible?

Hi, thanks for quick response. We have huge numer of reports, we copied them one after the other still doesn't work. Below are details.
Repository path(xml-server-config.xml) : /app/oracle/oracle/xmlp/XMLP
under this we have a folder structure : FCReports, in which we copied all the folders.
After logging onto BI URL, click on more... you will see the folder FCReports name but nothing shows up under this. Any file or any other permissins to be checked.? This folder does have read/executable permissions.

How do you make a customized template?? When I customize an original template it does not apply it to the whole document! How do you apply style changes permanently to your document???

When one customize text styles or spacing between paragraphs. How do you apply settings permanently to a document???
Should you create a new template???

Happily, when you edit a document created by a given template, the changes aren't stored in the template.
If you want to get a template embedding your changes, you need to use :
File > Save as Template
then use the newly created custom template as starting point.

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

Custom Template for Third Party Balance Summary Report(Java type executable

Hi Al,l we have a requirment to have a layout with some of the fields from
Third Party Balance Summary Report( Which is a Java type executable and
Data definition has Data Template attached(.xml)).
I tried in below way.
Coppied the Third Party Balance Summary Report program with same application and parameters
with. Then defined a Datadefinition with my concurrent prog short name
attached the same standard .xml file(Not sure what it is) and developed a custom template with
a custom rtf(excel output type), and submitted the program
the output is generated in excel but my custom .rtf layout is not getting applied
rather it is showing same layout as in standard.
Some thing I am missing here or else it is not the way of changing the
template.
If any one know how to do this please let me know.
My client want only some files from the standard report(no need of new fileds)
with output type xls.
Thanks in Advance.
The same content is posted in Custom Template for Third Party Balance Summary Report(Java type executable sorry for duplicating the thread, just for increase the visibility for my issue I did this.

I gave up on using a different font or figuring out if I could use Times New Roman's built-in fractions visible in Font Book (as unicodes) and did a work-around based on Michael Wasley's tips in this discussion.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11622842#11622842
I adapted it however and think it looks a little better.
Font: Times New Roman 12 point
I used the fraction bar in 12-point (Shift-Option-1) for automatic kerning.
For the numerator, I changed the font style to superior (12-point).
For the denominator, I changed the font style to subscript (Shift-Command-hyphen) and reduced the font size to half, or 6-point using the short-cut Shift-Command-<.
When the fractions occured in my footnotes (9-point), I used 4-point in the denominator; 10- and 11-point, I used 5-point in the denominator. This seemed to produce the best result when printing.
Thank you, Michael.

Edit custom templates

I have some template that I made that show up in the Custom tab in the Temaplates window. I want to change some of these to replace the old ones. Is my only option to apply the template, make my changes, and save it as a different name? I know I can save them as the same name, but then it just gets confusing as DVDSP doesn't overwite the old one, just appends a number to the filename

Honestly, as a pro, I never use templates anyway.
The ability to customize a template-based menu is the reason that menus cannot be updated from templates - this I understand. I'm sure there is a similar reason why existing templates cannot be edited, having to do with the way they work within the program, but I can't quite wrap my brain around it right now.
I have been teaching this technique in my DVD Studio classes, and I can see lots of good potential in using templates, particularly for creating chapter index menus, etc. It does take an extra second to create the new template from the menu, but once you get used to the workflow it's not too bad.

Hello Jagadish,
thanks for your support.
I went with Visual Admin tool to node SID - Server - Services - SLD Data Supplier.
I saw some information - how can I check here?
Afterwards I went to node SID - Server - Services - JCo RFC Provider and saw informations about client, user password. How can I check these informations? I stopped the SAPSLDAPI_SID RFC listener and started again. This worked without problems.
I closed visual administrator and tried to login again via http://hostname:50000/sld. After cklick on button "Administration" there is no reaction - I get a blank site with no information on it.
When I start configuration again through SOLMAN_ADMIN system hangs now in step 107 " SLD Server Configuration".

WCS 5.1: applying AP template fails

Yesterday we installed the new WCS version wih a customer, and they are now running into problems when applying a template.
When they change something in the AP configuration and try to save or apply, they get an error message telling them the they are not connected to the server. Even when doing this on the actual server instead of via a workstations browser.
Anyone encountered the same problem?

In //webnms/logs/tomcat_localhost_access_log.2008-08-07.txt
look for these kind of logs
10.10.1.1 - - [07/Aug/2008:11:22:54 +0200] "GET /webacs/lradTemplateActionForXml.do?%XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX2E66&enablePwd=xxxx&apPwd=xxxx&command=getPasswordValidity HTTP/1.1" 403 33199
For some reason, the webserver reply with HTTP error code 403 (Forbidden).
If it's the case, go to AP templates -> AP Parameters and uncheck "Override Global Username Password" and apply the template.

Webi - Custom Templates can be created?

In the old 6.5 we could create cutom templates. In Webi it appears we can not. Is this true or is there something I am missing

Hi,
Unfortunately, unlike in earlier versions of BO, Webi XI has no facility to create custom templates as such.
The easiest workaround to this is to create an empty report with the layout you desire and then use this as the basis for all your subsequent reports (i.e. amend the query each time, but retain the same layout of headers, footers, etc)
You can't exactly create a template. But, you can create a skin. Take a look into that instead.
Take a look at the directory structure on the server. You'll see the skins there. You apply them to cells on your report. You can put a logo as a skin and it works like a charm. BO provides a couple. You can change them.
Take a look here:

Timing will NOT show if you are using custom template.

Switching themes with customized templates

Most typical Apex applications start with a quick prototype containing most of the required functionality, get required approvals, and continue building it up.
During all of this, the concept of "themes" is mentioned and demonstrated as a reassurance that the "look and feel" of the application can be very easily switched at any point. In other words, let's worry about designing the content and behaviour, the presentation can be easily switched.
All this sounds very good on paper and is do-able as long as one uses the out-of-the-box Apex themes/templates. But, in my experience, any non-trivial application has lots of customized templates. That brings me to my question.
As soon as you start to customize templates, modify them, create new ones, etc, you start to get "committed" to that specific theme. In other words, if I have a theme with 10 customized templates, 5 slightly modified ones, etc, and I switch to another theme from the Apex repository, I get all the out-of-the-box templates for that theme. I have to painstakingly re-do all my customizations for the corresponding templates in the new theme.
And Apex does nothing to help me with this task. There is no "diff" utility between themes, no compares, no merges, nothing. I have to eye-ball the old template, copy the HTML snippets from the Builder into Notepad, pull up my new template and manually copy, paste, modify snippets into the new template. Very error-prone.
How have people handled this sort of thing? Are there any best-practices, any procedures that people follow to make switching between themes painless?
Thanks

Hello,
Second post down.
http://wiki.shellprompt.net/bin/view/Apex/ThemeTips
I build out themes all the time that are about 70/30 standard templates to custom templates and following that procedure makes the switches fairly easy.

Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. The door to the user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.
