Applying Page style sheets to a Content Area.

We have embeded a Folder within a Content Area that has been published as a Portlet and is displayed within a Page. There is a link within the displayed folder which displays another Folder within the Content Area that we have doctored to appear like the Page (by including other Portlets, Nav Bars, same regions etc.). But the second tier (Content Area) does not mimic the Page Style of the home page, ie. we can't mimic Portlet header colours etc. How can we sort this???
Thanks in advance.

Just to clairfy, are you trying to make a folder look like a page, and asking how to impose a page style onto a folder? If so, you can edit your folder style to resemble your page style.

How to bring 3 different Sample CSS style sheets into 3 different areas of DW Layout?

I added the 3 sample css style sheets I want to use into my site. Now I am trying to bring a different sample css into different sections of the layout. Example:
Sidebar 1: green/yellow
Sidebar 2: red/yellow
Middle: blue/yellow
I seem to only be able to have one for the whole page. Is this true?
What I am doing is clicking on the div tag: <div.sidebar#sidebar1>, then "Edit CSS" and then scroll down in the Class window to "attach style sheet" and there at the bottom is a link to the sample css style sheets. I click on the one I want and it changes the css for the whole page not just the sidebar 1. Is there a way I can get a different css sample style sheet for each sidebar in a 3 column layout, and a different sample css for the middle?
thank you very much

You can't bring 3 of the sample CSS style sheets together because there are defined areas like tables and lists and paragraphs that are just being redefined. Then what happens is the browser picks (usually the last set) the instructions it wants to use to display the content. The only way around this is to save a copy of the 3 CSS documents and open them at the same time. Then use one as your master which will be linked to the page and grab colors from the other CSS documents.

Applying different style sheets

I'm not sure if this is possible, but I would like to apply
different style sheets to different outputs.
For example: (Both outputs use the same data)
Output to PDF = Style Sheet 1
Output to WebHelp = Style Sheet 2
Is there an easy way to do this?

It would be lovely to select a style sheet as you are
generating the output, wouldn't it? As far as I can see, however,
style sheets are assigned per topic thru a reference RH sticks in
the HTML header.
Which leaves you two options:
1) The simple but tedious way: In the Topics list (on the
right), select all the topics. Right-click and pick Properties.
When the Properties window opens, choose the stylesheet you want on
the Appearance tab. Click OK. You would need to do this each time
you switch from generating WebHelp to generating PDF.
2) The complex but cool if it works way: I don't use the PDF
plug-in - do you still generate PDF from the Printed Documentation
layout? If so, can you use the StyleMapping.dot template? (I seem
to remember that the PDF goes through a Word stage behind the
scenes.) You can open StyleMapping.dot in Word (be sure to use File
> Open so you get the .dot) and change the styles into what is
effectively a new style sheet. It may take some tweaking - I still
can't get my bulleted styles to come out quite right - but it's
great for global changes.

Different Pages in Multiple tabs of Content Area

Hi,
I have one window with for iview for transactions for se16 and se11.
I want these two windows to open in different tabs of content area.
at present when i click on the second the content area is over wrtten on the first window content.
please suggest any configuration missing / workaround for displaying different pages on different tabs of content area.
Thanks
Sneha

I wonder why do you want to create portal pages for se16 and se11 transactions from portal. However one option is to develop a custom iView using PDK to display two tabs.

Under "Basic" in the "Printer Settings" of the Print menu, the dropdown menus for both "Page Setup: Sheet" and "Media Type" are frozen.

Frozen selections: I'm working from my Intel iMac trying to print (from both Aperture and Photoshop CS5) to my new Epson 4900 printer. When the Print menu comes up, under the "Basic" section of the "Printer Settings" the dropdown menus for both "Page Setup" and "Media Type" won't activate. All other options and selections work fine. Just these 2 are not functioning. What's up with that??

Here we are 15 months later and Microsoft Excel 2013 has the SAME ERROR
If one chooses:
Print Preview
Page Setup
Sheet
Then the print area and print titles (Rows to repeat at top, columns to repeat at top)
are all grayed out and cannot be selected.
If, however, I choose the
page layout bar and click print titles then
everything works fine.
Thanks for the solution!!!

Loop Page Style Sheet to set file name.

I am exporting pages to jpgs and pngs using a script that pulls the name from an applied style sheet.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5913479#5913479
the above works perfectly if I only want to specify one style sheet as the file name.
the challenge may need to use different style sheets on each page to create the name.
I am not sure how to loop through each page and grab the style in play.
or if I need to loop at all.
This is where I am...
function MakePNGfile()
     for(var myCounter = 0; myCounter < myDoc.pages.length; myCounter++)
          if (myDoc.pages.item(myCounter).appliedSection.name != "")
               myDoc.pages.item(myCounter).appliedSection.name = "";
      var myStyle1 = "sheetlabel-text";
      var myStyle2 = "sheetlabel-text-2";
      var myParagraphs = myDoc.pages.item(0).textFrames.item(0).parentStory.paragraphs;
          var myPageName = myDoc.pages.item(myCounter).name;
      var myPNGPrefix = "";
     for( i = 0; i < myParagraphs.length; i++)
         var paragraph = myParagraphs.item(i);
if (paragraph = myStyle1)
    (myPNGPrefix = getParagraphContent(myDoc.paragraphStyles.item("sheetlabel-text"), myDoc.pages.item(myCounter))+ '-0' + myPageName)
else
    (myPNGPrefix = getParagraphContent(myDoc.paragraphStyles.item("sheetlabel-text-2"), myDoc.pages.item(myCounter))+ '-0' + myPageName)
Thanks for your help!

Good to hear .
Find attached the next version. You can now insert in 'paraStyleNames' as many style names as you want. The script will check from left to right, if there is one found on the page. If this is true, the script will ignore the other styles.
Removing leading zero should work now.
Maybe one problem: If one page contains no style, this page will be exported nevertheless with it’s correct page number, but with the founded text of the previous page. If this can never happen, we are done and you should mark the answer as correct. If this is a real problem for you, please let me know, what should happen in this case and I will try to fix that too.

Use Conditional Tags to apply different Style Sheets / Skins for branding purposes?

RoboHelp HTML > WebHelp layout appearance using Conditional Build Tags
I have a customer who supplies an application to different corporates, and brands his product by changing the appearance, using a selected style sheet to suit the Brand.
Is there a way to customise a WebHelp layout, to select a style sheet and a skin for Brand A, and another style sheet and skin for Brand B, and so on?
Would this work in RH7? (The customer uses this at the moment.)
Would this work in RH8? (They could upgrade if this solves the problem.)
Philip Tory, Technical Author

Hi Phillip
RoboHelp 8 offers an ability to nominate a specific CSS file in the Single Source Layout recipe. So sure.

Applying a style sheet to sumit buttons

Hi All.
I'm trying to write a stylesheet to jsp pages which I can use for a set of submit buttons, here's a selection of the jsp code, as you can see there is reference to a stylesheet there already, which works ok. I can find loads of info relating to sylesheets and links, but nothing to assist on applying stylesheets to these buttons.

(none) style gets applied to numbered list & font size not matching text in my style sheet

RoboHelp 9 (9.0.2.271)
Something is wrong with my style sheet, and it only started happening after I created Master Page for the first time. This happens whether or not the new Master Page is applied to a topic: Every time I type any text in a topic, then click the Numbered List icon in the toolbar, the style goes from Normal to (none), and the font changes from my style sheet's Normal 10pt to 8pt, for the number as well as the text.
I don't see how the new Master Page has anything to do with it because it's not applied to this particular topic. I had created a Master Page in RoboHelp HTML and applied my style sheet, then my topics to it. I have a footer in the Master Page and applied 8pt font using inline formatting (not the style sheet).
I created a new project to see what would happen.
When I apply my style sheet, then apply the numbered list to text, the text font is correct (10pt), but the number font is wrong (8pt).
But when I apply the default style sheet to the topic, the number font and text font match.
How can I get the number and text fonts to match in my style sheet?
I found a workaround by applying inline formatting to the next (10pt) after selecting the text and clicking the numbered list icon. Below is the html code. The numbered steps in red are the ones that are not correct (8 pt). The code with the correct formatting (after I applied inline formatting) is in blue.
<body>
<h1>My Overview</h1>
<p>example</p>
<ol type="1">
<li>first step</li>
<li>second step</li>
</ol>
<ol type="1">
<li style="font-size: 10pt;">Fixed by applying inline formatting to
10pt after selecting the numbered list icon</li>
<li style="font-size: 10pt;">next step</li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<?rh-placeholder type="footer" ?>
</body>
Thanks.

Amebr,
That was helpful. I'm looking at a topic now, and both the Apply Style list on the Formatting toolbar show (none) when I click a numbered list that I created using the Created a Numbered List or Create a Bulleted List on the toolbar.
This is the html code for the correct font (10pt):
<ol>
<li class="p">this is the (none) style when I use the numbering button
on the toolbar (which is inline formatting)</li>
<li class="p">this is the (none) style when I use the numbering button
on the toolbar (which is inline formatting)</li>
<li class="p">this is the (none) style when I use the numbering button
on the toolbar (which is inline formatting)</li>
</ol>
Both styles list show the correct custom styles I created for numbered lists, though. Below is the code (correct font):
<ol>
<li class="p-ProcedureSteps"><p class="ProcedureSteps">this is from
my custom numbered style and looks correct</p></li>
</ol>
What's strange is, if I create a list and highlight it, then click the Apply Numbered List button in the toolbar, the numbers and text font size changes to 8 point and my Normal font is 10 pt, and both style lists show (none). That's what I wanted to figure out in my original post. I opened up the stylesheet and I don't see where that's applied. In Flare, you can easily see in a table how the styles are formatted, down to each class.
This is the code for the incorrect font (8pt):
<ol type="1">
<li>why is this 8pt?</li>
<li>why is this 8pt?</li>
<li>why is this 8pt?</li>
</ol>
Below is a screenshot.
Maybe someone can figure this out. Thanks!

Content Folder Style vs. Page Style

We have everything looking the way we want within the content area. However, when we put a folder into a page via a portlet, the page style overrides the portlet style. As the portlet style give you more options, based on text type, we would prefer to keep this. Is there any way to retain the content folder's style within the page?

We have found the same issue. Ultimately we would like to allow end users to apply page styles over the top of the content area styles. The problem, as you pointed out, is that the page styles do not have the same options as the content area styles.
The issue we have occurs when a content area style has sub headers enabled for regions and categories and they are overlayed with a page style. The page style treats the content area subheaders (all levels) as if they are the same level of subheader. The result is three levels of subheaders that have the page subheader style applied to them. So, if you used three distinct colors for the various content area subheader levels, the page style overlays them with a single color making it hard to differentiate between the content area subheader levels.
We are submitting this to oracle as an issue in hope that they will make the page style and the content area style options consistent.

Render Portal Style Sheet in New Page

I created a PL/SQL Portlet that displays a list of users. When you click on a person, a new window pops up and displays information about that user.
That works find. However, I would like the window to have the same look and feel as the portal page. I need to bring the page style sheet (css) over to the next window. Do you know if a PL/SQL Portal API that can generate the style sheet in the header area of the new page that I opened?
Should I use a template to display my information in? If so, how do I pass the results to this template?
Thanks

OK, I think I got it.
I created a structure user interface template called My_Template. In the template I set up everything. I set up the look and feel, colors, images, etc.
Now, in my code, I use the following API.
PORTAL30.wwv_headings.show_header(
p_template => 'PUBLIC.MY_TEMPLATE',
p_heading => 'The Title',
p_help_link => '');
htp.p('</BODY></HTML>');
Which will translate into the following HTML
<HTML>
<TITLE>My Title</TITLE>
<BODY bgcolor="#B5B591">
<TABLE width="100%" height="40" cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 border=0 bgcolor="#B5B591" >
<TR>
<TD width="1%" align="LEFT"><IMG SRC="/images/cantrac2.gif" ALT="Return to the CANTRAC MENU(Application Home)" border="0"></TD>
<TD width="97%" align="LEFT"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Helvetica;color:black;font-size:16pt;"><B><NOBR>My Title</NOBR></B></FONT></TD>

<TD width="24" height="24"><IMG SRC="/images/cantrac_menu.gif" valign=top ALT="Application Home" border=" 0"></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</BODY></HTML>
I still don't get the STYLE sheet but it looks close enough.
When I create a unstructure UI template and use the #PAGE.STYLE# command, the style is null when I call a new browser window. Need to look into what portal API to use to get this information.

Link to Content Area from ASP page brings up default page

I have a link on an ASP to the content area. When the user clicks on the link, he/she is required by the portal to provide their username/password. After entering the correct information, the users are displayed their default page NOT taken to the content area.
Any ideas?

Unfortunately, the only way to do this would be to not show the sub-folder region and add URL items in another region that link to the folder page in question.

Import Word to RH8 - can't select Style sheet to apply

When importing a Word file to RH8 the new dialogue box series needs me to apply my style sheet on the 2nd screen...but even though Help says that a list will be provided, it is greyed out and I can't chose/add one:
This causes all the numbers and bullets to be corrupted. How do I get my style sheet to be available? Thank you!

No it doesn't, that's why it's greyed out. Click the Edit button to get at the settings you need.

Blank content area page - hide

I created a form in Adobe Designer and my content area page is appearing as page 1 when I'm in PDF view - I've never had this happen and I can't delete or move the page (form MUST have one content area). It was interesting because I had 7 pages in my form - everything was fine until I decided to move page 7 to the top (becoming page 1) - from then on my content area page began appearing....any help out there on how i can "hide" this blank page?? Thanks! Lisa

Hi Lisa,
I actually had to make the form work today, so unfortunately, I had to start over and not move any part around to make sure I didn't get the blank second page.
Now, the client just notified me that they don't want email submissions so I am off to find out how to se tup teh HTTP side.
Sorry I am not more help :-(
