Architectural Layout Templates ?

Hi,
I have a presentation in a few days that I need to present 2 different design ideas ( tents basically ) I'm looking for any inspiration or InDesign templates to help me with the layout. 90% of the page will be of graphics, so text is minimal, but I want it to look like it all fits well.
Also, how would I create this shadow ( see image ) in Indesign ?
Please note the image below is NOT mine.

I though about working in Illustrator, but I've seen what a friend has done in Indesign... I can't really post what I want to achieve because it's not my work, I don't want risk of been failed for pilgarism.
Basically anything that will help me lay out a few pages, but I think I need the shadows too. Could I just export my CAD drawing as a PSD and then create it in Photoshop, then import that to InDesign or Illustrator.
What are the biggest difference between InDesign and Illustrator ?
Thank You

Can i make a book in iPhoto without using any of the built in layout templates, which are too limiting when i have already cropped my pictures to show just what I want. Ideally I just want to drag and drop and arrange and size the pictures myself

If you have Pages you can create customs pages for your book as TD suggested. If you have Pages from iWork 09 or 11 this app will add 80 or so additional frames to those offered: Frames and Strokes Installer. Don't use it on the latest Pages version, however.
This tutorial shows how to create a custom page with the theme's background: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book. Once the page is complete to get it into iPhoto as a jpeg file follow these steps:
Here's how to get any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
NOTE: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. For books to be printed choose 300 dpi.

Creation of new layout templates

Hello,
in the portal there are some layout templates available for pages. They are used for the innerpage of default frameworkpage ,too. I like to change the width of first column of the narrowWide 2 columns layout. Found in online Help that you have to use the developer studio or change the *.jsp file directly to get a customized layout (template). I don`t like to change the available jsp files. Best idea would be to have a new jsp file in place on which a new template is based. I found the narrowWide.jsp in the file system where you can change easily the width of colums. But how can I get a new jsp File? Is this only possible by using the developer studio or is there another way to do that?
Thanks for every response.
Regards
Alex

Hello Ganesh,
I like to go closer to your solution.
Ok, my steps would be:
1. Searching the folder where the narrowWide.jsp and the related portalapp.xml is found (usr\sap\...).
2. Make a copy of the narrowWide.jsp, rename it to narrow35Wide65.jsp and save it in the same folder where the narrowWide were found.
3. Edit the new *.jsp file and change the width of narrow column to 35% and wide column to 65% (result should be increasing the narrow column width)
4. Rename the extension of current portalapp.xml in the same folder to portalapp.xml.bak and make a copy of the file in same folder giving the original file name.
5. Editing the portalapp.xml and paste a new component entry based to the narrowWide component entry. Here I have to change the component name and the jsp file name only like in this example, right?
</component>
- <component name="<b>narrow35Wide65</b>">
- <component-config>
<property name="ClassName" value="com.sapportals.portal.pb.layout.PageLayout" />
<property name="ResourceBundleName" value="pagebuilder_nls" />
<property name="SafetyLevel" value="no_safety" />
</component-config>
- <component-profile>
<property name="ComponentType" value="com.sapportals.portal.layout" />
<property name="com.sap.portal.pcm.Title" value="2 Columns (Narrow:Wide)" />
<property name="com.sap.portal.pcm.Description" value="Two-column layout displaying the narrow column on the left" />
<property name="com.sap.portal.reserved.layout.TagLibLayout" value="/SERVICE/com.sap.portal.pagebuilder/taglib/layout.tld" />
<property name="com.sap.portal.reserved.layout.TagLibHtmlb" value="/SERVICE/com.sap.portal.htmlb/taglib/htmlb.tld" />
<property name="com.sap.portal.reserved.layout.TemplateFile" value="<b>narrow35Wide65.jsp</b>" />
<property name="AuthScheme" value="anonymous" />
- <property name="com.sap.portal.reserved.layout.Cont1" value="column1">
<property name="plainDescription" value="Column 1" />
<property name="orientation" value="vertical" />
<property name="designClass" value="prtlPageConL" />
</property>
- <property name="com.sap.portal.reserved.layout.Cont2" value="column2">
<property name="plainDescription" value="Column 2" />
<property name="orientation" value="vertical" />
<property name="designClass" value="prtlPageConR" />
</property>
</component-profile>
All other values can stay same?
6. Is a restart of portal server necessary?
7. It should be able to create a new layout template in PCD based to narrow35Wide65.
Will this work?
Thanks and regards
Alex

Combining word processing and page layout templates

Does anyone know how to (or if it's possible at all) merge or combine a Pages 09 document set up on the "Pages Layout" template with one set up on "Word Processing" template properly? Can these two templates "talk to each other"?
I'm trying to combine some of my separate class notes for my students into one file, and some were created in Page Layout, with visuals, charts, pics, etc. I also have some Word Document notes that I'd like to merge with the other notes to create one "class notes" file for my students. But I can't seem to do that, for some reason. I can copy individual pages from the Page Layout notes and paste them into my Word Document notes, but they paste as two pages (one page is blank). When I delete that page, the other one is deleted, too. I can't copy and paste from the other direction (word doc to page layout) at all, and like I said, the other way is a little off, as well.
Any ideas, or is this just not possible in Pages 09? Thanks.

Re: Jerry
I'd like to stay in one or the other, but I just like features that are only in one or the other. For example, I like in WP mode that when I get to the end of a page of writing and keep going, a new page appears (with formatting and layout intact on the next). If I'm in PL mode and writing in a text box, it just goes beyond the viewable screen. I also like the ability to select and move around individual pages in PL mode, and that doesn't seem to be available in WP mode (they're all stuck together and move in clumps). But you're right, I'm just going to have to stick with one and figure out some workarounds for some things I like. Since I think I'll be more in WP mode, I'll try to move stuff over from PL.
Re: Peter
Thanks for the advice... it's already helped me try to come up with some ways to fix things. The whole click away thing to give me floating objects has been great! You're right, this does seem like a design flaw, but I suppose Apple can't be all things to all people. Still, I'd like a little more...
Re: Yvan
Hang in there! You're right, Pages is tough when trying to use created projects in other apps! Like you said, I'm working to rebuild the layout. By the way, my PL document was 16 pages, which when transferred to WP mode doubled in size! Sheesh...
Thanks to all—I think I'm going to be able to work through this "issue" after all. I appreciate everyone's help.

How can I insert a parameter to the layout template?

How can I insert a parameter defined in report to the layout template? just like insert a field. I wanna display the parameter in the output.

If its Ebiz, concurrent program.
Put this in your template in the starting,
where the P_BUSINESS_GROUP_ID is one of the concurrent program parameters,
<?param@begin:P_BUSINESS_GROUP_ID?>
and then you can access the parameter in your rtf like <?$P_BUSINESS_GROUP_ID?>
Upload the rtf template back into apps.
and then rerun the conc pgm :)

Layout Template - Alignment Problem

Hi,
I´m using EP6 Version 6.0.2.4.6 and made some Layout-Templates for my Pages. It works fine, but the alignment of the Ivies in it doesn´t match.
A short Example:
<%@ taglib uri="prt:taglib:com.sap.portal.reserved.layout.TagLibHtmlb" prefix="hbj" %>
<%@ taglib uri="prt:taglib:com.sap.portal.reserved.layout.TagLibLayout" prefix="lyt" %>
<lyt:template>
    <hbj:content id="myContext" >
        <hbj:page title="Portal Page">
       <hbj:gridLayout id="GridLayout1" rowSize="2" columnSize="2" debugMode="TRUE">
                <hbj:gridLayoutCell width="50%" rowIndex="1" columnIndex="1" horizontalAlignment="LEFT" verticalAlignment="top">
                    <lyt:container id="column1" />
                </hbj:gridLayoutCell>
                <hbj:gridLayoutCell width="50%" rowIndex="1" columnIndex="2" horizontalAlignment="LEFT" verticalAlignment="top">
                    <lyt:container id="column2" />
                </hbj:gridLayoutCell>
                <hbj:gridLayoutCell width="50%" rowIndex="2" columnIndex="1" horizontalAlignment="LEFT" verticalAlignment="top">
                    <lyt:container id="column3" />
                </hbj:gridLayoutCell>
                <hbj:gridLayoutCell width="50%" rowIndex="2" columnIndex="2" horizontalAlignment="LEFT" verticalAlignment="top">
                    <lyt:container id="column4" />
                </hbj:gridLayoutCell>
            </hbj:gridLayout>
        </hbj:page>
    </hbj:content>
</lyt:template>
When I look to a page with this Template, all my Iviews on it have an alignment on the right bottom corner of the cells. Is there no way to correct this? I tried a normal html-table but with the same result. Does anyone have a clue for this problem?
Regards,
Marcus

Hi Marcus,
the JSP looks fine for me.
Probably you know http://help.sap.com/saphelp_ep60sp2/helpdata/en/d5/1b083e7623445ae10000000a11405a/frameset.htm
The only thing where differences to the original layouts could exist seems to be the layout description within portalapp.xml, especially (and only?) the designClass value (prtlPageConR (right), prtlPageConL (left), prtlPageConM (mid) and prtlPageConF (full)). These css classes are defined within the themes, for example the most used will be under irj/root/portalapps/com.sap.portal.themes.lafservice/themes/portal/sap_standard/prtl_std/prtl_std_ie6.css, but they only define the margin and padding...
Maybe you should copy a standard layout (from irj/root/WEB-INF/portal/portalapps/com.sap.portal.layouts.default) and start with this under new names; if they behave normal, start to manipulate them...
Hope it helps
Detlev
PS: For better reading you can surround code / indentions with [ code ] and [/ code ] (without spaces). So checking the syntax would be much easier.

Saving print layout templates

In a future release, would it be possible to have a function whereby you can save your print layouts in a folder, as a backup precaution incase you accidentally delete or alter an original one? At the moment, you can only back the PLD templates up via daily database backups. I have a customer who has spent a very long time perfecting their print layout templates and he thinks this functionality would be very useful and reassuring.
Thanks

Hello Kate,
Within 8.8 release, we are introducing new control of 'Report and Layout Management' which enables joint management of PLD and Crystal Reports layouts. This enhances the usability of maintenance of print layouts and should reduce a risk of accidential deletion of the print layout.
Moreover, Crystal Reports can be also saved outside SAP Business One as a separate file (similarly like those for XL Reporter).

PLD layout template cannot change or modify layout contents..

Dear Experts,
I have duplicated a PLD layout template, but then when I wish to change either a picture or texts in the template, I was not able to save the template thereafter.
On a closer look at the DB, I realized the RDOC.CanChange field is set to 'N'. Can anyone advice me the nature of this field if it is related to my problem? and how I can set it to 'Y' using the SBO application.
Thanks in Advance!
Warmest Regards,
Chinho

Hi LIm ,
The header data of any PLD goes to Rdoc and Item level data goes to Ritm table .
Actually this is right concern for u , but this should by Y.
So pls instead of changing from backend , kkep looking fron front end .
If you duplicate a pld template and save this with your own given name, u can do changes .
this is ideal application od PLD.
Chek the database and formula field of your pld .
Hope this will help u .
Rgds,
Premraj

Supporting drilldowns in BIP reports defined in Web Layout Template Editor

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to show a table in a BIP Report defined in a web layout template editor and within this report, if there is drilldown on one of the columns, we would want to display more details in an additional column to be displayed afresh. Also, we have a requirement to display the same whenever there is a selection from a report prompt. In addition, is such a drill down feasible from within a graph? Is this achievable? We know this is feasible in OBIEE - not sure about BIP. Any pointers in this direction is appreciated!

Hi Sripathy, I can't thank you enough for the help !!! We looked for all kinds of documentation and was never able to find exact information.
Also, do you mind if we email you if we run into more problems ? We are new to this. If you think it's ok, my email is [email protected] If not, thanks again, at least this will get me started.

Customized Page Layout templates

How to develop new customized community page layout templates.
Eg, I need to have a template with more than 3 column layout and also a 3 column page laypout template on which the first column will be the widest.
Anyone can help me on this or guide me to some documentation reg this. Can ping me at [email protected]
Regards,
Satish

Satish,
I believe you are talking about portlet layout, not page layout. Page layout is related to navigation, while portlet layout deals with how you want your portlets to display and Developing custom portlet layout is very hard.
It is not the layout aspect that is hard - you can edit MyPortalContentView to tweak the layout and use Activityspaces override to plugin your custom MyPortalContentView (see devcenter.plumtree.com for documentation on this) - it is all the other parts.
For example, you can create a 4 column layout, but that would mean that you need to add this new portlet layout to the layout picker in the Edit Page editor, and you need to figure out how to store portlet to the 4th column and deal with wide and narrow portlets in the new column.
The only situation where it would be feasible to create new column is if you have put one or a few hardcoded portlets there to avoid the management issues, but that is not trivial either, as you have to write custom code against the Server API.

Is it possible to deploy a default Custom Layout template?

I was asked if we could deploy a Default Custom Layout template for Adobe Profiles . So that when creating Firm Portfolios they are standardized? It would be nice if it were defaulted and they didn’t have to choose the Layout.
Thanks in advance for any info
Ed

Hi Chris,
Looking through the BPEL client API, I think it might be possible to change the process state via java code. I say might, because the documentation is not that splendid. The IBPELProcessHandle interface has a method updateMetaData which allows you to change the state, among other things. I have not tried this yet so the solution a little theoretical.Sorry for that :-\
Then, when you have your java class working, you can create an Ant task for it and invoke your Ant task in the build.xml, right after the deployment target.
Kind regards,
Harm

How do I create a "hover effect" in an Adobe Portfolio layout template?

I am trying to find/create as layout template for Adobe portfolio that can create a hover effect so when the reader hovers over a heading it display a list of pdf documents that are grouped under the heading and the reader can select which one to view.

Changing the functionality of the Portfolio layouts requires you to write an entirely new one using the Acrobat Portfolio SDK and Flex - or hiring someone to do it for you.

Sorting in the layout template

Hi All,
Is there any way to sort in your layout template or is that just handled in your queries (data template)?
I have a report that we use the republish concurrent program so that we get the same data as the original request, just with a different template. The only problem is that they want the republished data to sort differently than the original data without querying back to the database.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

{a strait crib from my notes, hope it helps}
SORTING
You can sort a group by any element within the group. Insert the following syntax within the group tags:
<?sort:ELEMENT;'ascending';data-type='text|number|date'?>
NOTE: A known bug mentioned in the release notes. Oracle XSLT engine is unable to sort on an inner group when regrouping.
(there is a workaround and a fix coming -- this may be fixed by now)
<?sort:element name?>
For example, to sort the Payables Invoice Register (shown at the beginning of this chapter) by Supplier (VENDOR_NAME), enter the following after the <?for-each:G_VENDOR_NAME?> tag:
<?sort:VENDOR_NAME?>
To sort a group by multiple fields, just insert the sort syntax after the primary sort field. To sort by Supplier and then by Invoice Number, enter the following
<?sort:VENDOR_NAME?> <?sort:INVOICE_NUM?>
Good luck,
Scott
