Bursting across sections?

The bursting capability within Reports Builder is handled using the "Repeat On" property of a section and parameters for the distribution filename. I want to build a report with a portrait cover page and a landscape body. For this to work with bursting, seems like I'd need to have a "Repeat On" for the whole report (which doesn't seem to exist). Is there any way to burst an entire report? Or is there a way to change page orientation within a single section (I'm pretty sure the answer to this one is 'no')? Am I going to have to run the report multiple times (thousands in my case) for each burst group?

Hi Richard
First the Questions and Answers...
Is there any way to burst an entire report?No. Repeat On is a section level property. Hence Bursting cannot be set at Report level.
Or is there a way to change page orientation within a single sectionNo again. You can, however, set Orientation for each section.
Am I going to have to run the report multiple timesNo yet again!
Here's how:
I suggest that you create the "Portrait" layout in Header section and "Landscape" layout in Main section. Of course, you have set the section's Orientation plus Repeat On property accordingly.
Next, explore the possibility of using XML distribution. See examples at:

Possible to add a watermark across sections?

Hello,
I have a document with many sections.
I'm trying to add a watermark to all sections, but the option under format/advanced only allows "add to section master"
Is there a way to add a watermark to all sections, so I don't have to go one by one pasting it?
Thanks,
Pedro

Hi Jerry,
Yes, it is reasonable to assume that. In fact, it's an obligation in the part of the desinger to assume the reasonable, and then the unreasonable. For a product geared to the open market, to whoever decides to buy it (old, young, male, female, American, Asian, European, Middle Eastern, with a PhD or without schooling...) it is a mistake of humangous proportions to force a user to work in the order of events that a designer believes to be logical. Why must a watermark be set only at the beginning, during the planning stage? Particularly when headers and footers can change at any time, across sections.
You have the perfect example in front of you. Two different people with two opposite views of the logical.
Forgive me for writing like this. It is intended for Apple more than anything else

How to drill across sections in Dashboards

I hav got this through this site.
(if i click on a department name in department section in dashboard, the corresponding employees details should be shown in the adjacent column/section without rendering to a new page)
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/12/26/oracle-bi-ee-101332-drills-across-sections-in-a-dashboard/
i hav got the total thing done.
i'm doing this for an department table on department name.
for which when i drill on department name, corresponding employees list should be shown.
my problem is
1. if the dept name contains a spaces like 'Human Resources', then the URL is taking only Human and its ignoring the rest.(if it doesn't contain spaces, its showing correctly.!)
the URL looks like this
http://l3f0372:9704/analytics/saw.dll?GO&path=/shared/New/3.Emp&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=Departments.%22Department%20Name%22&P3=Human
2. the drill down can be implemented on varchar datatypes only.
but not on number types like dept_id. Is there any way to that?
Edited by: user10564344 on Nov 23, 2008 10:48 PM

Thank you Naresh for responding to my problem..
But, if we use Navigate, the drilling will be to a new page.
but the client requirement is like this.
intially there are two sections, one shows dept details and other shows emp details(of all depts)
when we click on a particular dept name, the emp details of that department only should be shown and in the same section only(i.e., without navigating to a diff page).
the procedure i'd got from the website mentioned in the earlier post worked fine with the department name containing no spaces.
but when there is a space in the department name(ex.Human Resources),, the URL is taking till Human only(due to anchor tag in column properties on dept name).here the anchor tag is used to call emp details section and pass the respective dept name called.But when a space occurs in URL, that anchor tag is taking till a space.
(ex.: http://l3f0372:9704/analytics/saw.dll?GO&path=/shared/New/3.Emp&Action=Navigate&P0=1&P1=eq&P2=Departments.%22Department%20Name%22&P3=Human )
so, how to pass a value with space using anchor tag dynamically..?
Thanks in advance..:)

How to apply master pages across sections or whole

It's a very basic problem to which I'm not readily finding the answer in searches. I wish to apply master pages and consistently, no matter how I format the request, am notified: "one or more of the pages specified are not valid page names." So please provide an example of how the page/section names are supposed to be written for:
A 100 page book with 1 section;
A 100 page book with 2 section;
Applying master page changes to only a subsection of the book (i.e. pages 50-75).
I'm aware it's similar to "Sec1: 1-100", but not precisely that.

OK, I think maybe I'm beginning to understand waht you are doing. Are you trying to use the Pages Palette menu to Apply Master Page to a range? You would need to include the section number for both pages, like this: Sec1:1 - Sec1:100.
You can also select the pages in the palette first, then use the apply master command. That might be easier.

Using CSS instead of or with library item

I built my site using Dreamweaver 8. I used the design view
exclusively. I made a navigation bar as a library item. Utilizing
rollovers, etc. Now I have learned I should build my site utilizing
CSS and as was pointed out on this forum to me, to learn CSS and
HTML.
I am having a brain freeze. The logic escapes me as to how I
would build a navigation bar and put it on each page as I did
utilizing the library function before.
I am sure for all you pro's this is a really dumb and obvious
thing but I just don't seem to figure out the logic how to do it. I
am not talking about the CSS for the behaviors such as hover,
visited, active. This I know how to do. It is just the ability to
have a properly designed navbar and be able to put it on every page
I make.
Murry "ACE" told me not to use AP and the dreaded mm_menus so
I am trying to figure this out and build a better more code
efficient site. Mine works but is quite trashy in the code.

It can be a bit daunting.
Try going through this tutorial completely. It's a bit out of
date (using
an older version of DW), and still covers the use of tables,
but it's worth
reinforcing your basic understandings -
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_website_pt1.html
Then I would suggest you do this tutorial -
Taking a Fireworks comp to a CSS-based layout in Dreamweaver
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/web_standards_layouts_pt1.html
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/web_standards_layouts_pt2.html
Finally, to get a grip on how to manage menus across an
entire site, use
DW's F1 help about how to use Templates, and server-side
includes.
Templates do make your life much easier. I use the following
scheme....
First, I mentally separate the page layout into three
sections:
1. Stuff that will not change for the life of the site (i.e.,
the basic
structural elements)
2. Stuff that *could* change from time to time (e.g.,
navigation elements,
burst advertisements, section-specific navigation, etc.)
3. Stuff that *will* change from one page to the next
Then I create a template containing all class1 elements. Next
I create
server-side include files containing all class 2 elements and
place them on
the template as needed. Note - some of the class 2 elements
may be
"section-specific elements", and their placement on the
template will be
subject to the next item. Finally, I insert editable regions
to cover the
class 3 items, INCLUDING the section-specific navigation.
This allows me to just cookie-cut the rest of the site. I
estimate that
even for fairly large sites, about 80% of my work goes into
planning and
creating this template file.

Any way to keep track of which pages use templates in dreamweaver?

So this site I am working on uses a template for most of the html pages but not all of them. A few of them have been detached from the template and will remain detached since they are not the same as the others. The only way I can see to check which ones use the template is to open the file. Once opened if it uses the template it says so in the upper right....but that would mean I would still have to mentally remember which ones use the document but there are 20 pages. I can not remember and I do not want to open 20 documents to see which ones use the template. Is there a way to see without opening? I wish it would tell me in the file manager which files are using the template......anything similar?? thanks

You're welcome.

XY graphing with large amount of data

I was looking into graphing a fairly substantial amount of data. It is bursted across serial.
What I have is 30 values corresponding to remote data sensors. The data for each comes across together, so I have no problem having the data grouped. It is, effectively, in an array of size 30. I've been wanting to place this data in a graph.
The period varies between 1/5 sec and 2 minutes between receptions (its wireless and mobile, so signal strength varies). This eliminates waveform graph as the time isn't constant and there's alot of data(So no random NaN insertion). This leaves me with an XY graph.
Primary interest is with the last 10 minutes or so, with a desire to see up to an hour or two back.
The data is farily similar, and I'm tring to possibly split it into groups of 4 or 5 sets of ordered pairs per graph.
Problems:
1. If data comes in slow enough, everything is ok, but the time needed to synchrounously update the graph(s) often can exceed the time it would take to fully recieve the chunk of data which contains these data points. Thinking asynchrounously is useless, as the graphs need to be reasonably in tune with the most recent data recieved. I can't have the an exponential growth in the delta of time represented on the graph and the time the last bit of data was recieved.
2. I could use some advice on making older data points more sparse to allow for older data to be viewed, but with a sort of 'decay' of old data I don't value that 1/5 second resolution at all.
I'm most concerned with solving problem 1, but random suggestions on 2 are most welcome.

I didn't quite get the first question. Could you try to find out where
exactly the time is consumed in your program and then refine your
question.
To the second question (which may also solve the first question). You
can store all the data to a file as it arrives. Keep the most recent
data in a let's say shift register of the update loop. Add a data point
corresponding the start of the mesurement to the data and wire it to a
XY graph. Make X Scrollbar visible. Handle the event for XY graph:X
scale change. When the scale is changed i.e. the user scrolls the
scroll bar, load data from the file and display it on the XY graph.
This was a little simplified, it's a little more complicated.
In my project, I am writing an XY graph X Control to handle a bit
similar issue. I have huge data sets i.e. multichannel recordings
with millisecond resolution over many hours. One data set may be
several gigabytes, so the data won't fit on the main memory of the
computer at once. I wrote an X control which contains a XY graph. Each
time the time scale is changed i.e. the scroll bar is scrolled, the X
control generates a user event if it doesn't have enough data to
display the time slice requested. The user event is handled outside the
X Control by loading the appropriate set of data from the disk and
displaying it on the X Control. The user event can be generated already
a while before the X Control is out of data. This way the data is
loaded a bit in advance, which allows seamles scrolling on the XY
graph. One must notice that the front panel updates must be turned off
in the X Control when the data is updated and back on after the update
has finnished. Otherwise the XY graph will flicker annoingly.

Issue importing Word document with notes

Hello everyone,
I have a Word document that has about 80 short sections to it. Each section has endnotes, and the note numbering restarts with 1 at the beginning of each section. I have tried to import this document into CS3, but each time the notes appear as endnotes at the end of the document, not the end of each section. Worse, they number consecutively across sections. Quark, which also dumps notes at the end of the document, at least retains their original numbering, so I could cut-and-paste them back in place. Any information or suggestions on how to work this in INDD? Many thanks.

I apologize. I thought InDesign was part of Creative Suites and that this was an appropriate place to post my question. I did spend quite a lot of time reading other posts and threads, though, in many of the forums. I'll look elsewhere for help.

Why do I have 2 iPhoto Library icons?

Hello
I have 2 unrelated issues. (I believe)
First, In my home folder...picutures folder, I have 2 iPhoto Library icons. one with a date modified 20/6/2010 size 45.98GB. the other date modified Today 44.65 GB. In the last few days I have been deleting some photos that were not so good, so I gather the smaller icon shows the iphoto I have been using. What should I do? I gather I do not need both.
Should I delete the older one by dragging to trash or move to a back up disc first
Please advise
Secondly
While in the process of cutting photos, I have come across sections of my photos where there are 2 of each photo. the original named xxx.jpg and the copy xxx2. I have been manually delting xxx2 ones but I am not really sure if this is the right way to go. There was a section where there were over a hundred duplicates. I am certain these were not here before and I have not connected my camera in weeks. Whenever I do connect my camera I choose the option 'do not import duplicates'. Any idea what is happening here?
Thanks
Jeff

You seem to have duplicated your iPhoto Library on or around June 20 last.
Open then both to compare the contents: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
Yes, you can trash the duplicate once you're sure it's a duplicate.
Should I delete the older one by dragging to trash or move to a back up disc first
You need a back up no matter what.

Guideline for max # of levels in rules?

Hi everyone,
I have two general discussion questions that I'm curious about:
1) Do you use a general guideline for the number of levels you use in your rules? and
2) If so--what are the reasons behind that guideline?
I recall hearing that limiting rules to 3 levels deep is a good practice to follow. However, I don't really know the reasoning behind that.
I find that my rules are easily reaching 5 or 6 levels deep when modelling legislation. And if I were to limit the depth of my rules by making premises conclusions in their separate rules, I'll find my rules to be scattered.
I'm interested to know about your thoughts.
Thanks,
-Isamu

Hi,
1) I think there is no generic guideline on maximum number of levels as such. The number of levels usually depend upon the complexity of rules that you are writing.
2) Although it is recommended to avoid deep nesting of complex rules so that the rules are easier to understand and maintain.
Also, if a rule is simple but has some premises which can be reused in large number of other rules then it is better to separate out those intermediate goals into independent conclusions (and these re-usable rules can be kept in some common rules file).
Example:
RULE 1:
the applicant is eligible for the benefits if
    the applicant is a male and
    the applicant satisfies the salary criteria
        the applicant’s salary > 500 and
        the applicant’s salary <= 5000
RULE 2:
the benefit amount for the applicant = 0.25 * the applicant’s salary if
    the applicant satisfies the salary criteria
RULE 1 can be written as:
RULE 1
the applicant is eligible for the benefits if
    the applicant is a male and
    the applicant satisfies the salary criteria
the applicant satisfies the salary criteria if
    the applicant’s salary > 500 and
    the applicant’s salary <= 5000
As fas as scattering of rules is concerned, i would suggest:
1. Keep all the rules belonging to one section of legislation/policy in one document
For example you can have one rule document per section of the legislation
2. Keep all the rules common across sections in another document
Thanks.

Help please - template problems

2 questions please - actually:
1. Dreamweaver CS4... I think my template functionality has somehow become corrupted. When I try to create new templates (regardless of which site I'm trying it within), they look ok. But when I then try to create a new html page using the template, it garbles the format. I tried it every way I can think of... I tried the 2 column fixed, the 3 column hybrid, etc. etc. And I tried them as is in dreamweaver (without adding any formatting or anything... just create a new, save it, and then create a new page using the tempalte). Still the same garbled end results. (it's keeping the spry menu bar, but loses the columnar format and places them on top of each other)
Interestingly, it's only happening with new templates. (what started this was that I have a 2 column template I'm using, and I want to switch to a 3 column). As long as I keep using the existing format with the existing templates, the new pages are ok.
I tried re-installing dreamweaver, and that didn't fix it. Any ideas?
2. I noticed in another post, that there were comments about largers sites don't do well with templates. My site's content based (www.howtogardenadvice.com) with no fancy bells or whistles... but am well over 50 pages, and still growing. Does that mean I have to stop using a template?
Thanks so much for your help!

When you site becomes as large as yours sounds, the initial decision to use Templates becomes tedious, since each saved Template change requires that you upload ALL affected local files to reflect that change. As the site becomes larger and larger, this requirement becomes more and more tedious. It's not that the Templates don't work.
I still use Templates on nearly every site I build, but I also use server-side includes to minimize this need. I use the following scheme....
First, I mentally separate the page layout into three sections:
1. Stuff that will not change for the life of the site (i.e., the basic

To say anything about your #1 problem, we'd need to start by looking at the code on your Template page, and comparing that to the 'garbled' code on your child pages. Can you show us?

Best way to design website with multiple pages

In dreamweaver what are your suggestions to create a full website with multiple pages where each page has a different but similar setup. I'd have a similar theme but I don't want each page to be exactly the same as the home page? I've tried a template but that was a nightmare since some of my pages were different from the original page and i had to mess with it to fix it.I've also made the home page, saved the html file in my website root folder then changed that page into the second page and saved it as another html file. I have thought about using pre-made templates and designs but I kind of want to design from my own creative viewpoint.
your ideas are appreciated, advice welcome.

Templates & Library items - best practice

I've been having a bit of a heated discussion about how
templates and library items should be used on medium to large
websites.
I'm of the opinion that you should have 1 template (or as few
as possible) and any differences be managed with Library items.
My colleague's argument is you should have a different
template for each section, so for example 1 for the news, 1 for the
features section (for magazine sites) so that if you have a banner
section wide you change that template, as opposed to the way I'm
used to which would be 1 template with multiple library items in
the editable regions of the template, my reasoning for this is the
large amount of html used for each template (like rollovers) can
become inconsistent when there's more than one template. Like if
you change something site wide you have to remember to change all
of the templates, if you do this with a simple copy past DW can
still make corrupt code if you use multiple templates.
So basically I was wondering if there was a standard or best
practice way of doing this.
Thanks

Your colleague is mistaken IN MY OPINION. I think you are on
the right
track *unless* your section pages are *SO* different in
layout that you
cannot conveniently include all of the
alterations/permutations in a single
template page. Further, my current workflow is to rely
heavily on
server-side includes within template pages, as described here
Templates do make your life much easier. I use the following
scheme....
First, I mentally separate the page layout into three
sections:
1. Stuff that will not change for the life of the site (i.e.,

For what it's worth, I never use Library items....

Repeating Region Mystery

Hello all,
I've been working with templates for the past few weeks and I'm loving it!
Everything has gone smoothly till now. I'm having a very unsual problem with repeating regions and I can't seem to figure out what is causing it. Hopefully someone here can shed some light on this issue.
Basically, I have two templates: one parent and one child template. There are two repeating regions in total.
Problem: When I create a new page using the child template, the repeating regions disappear completely. Meaning, all the repeating region code surrounding an element is completely gone. In fact, my repeating regions have an editable region within it and they disappear with the repeating region! However, when I create a new page using the parent template itself, the repeating regions are there and everything is functioning as it should.
This is only happening with repeating regions. All editable regions, separate from repeating regions, are there.
I would really appreciate the help!
Thanks!

I had no idea that nested templates are a serious problem in Dreamweaver.
It's not. It's a serious problem for users who opt to use them. Why? Because any benefit you derive from the coolness is more than offset by the disadvantages you experience down the road from their use. I am a devout user of templates and have never found a single scenario where the use of nested templates would help.
Most of my knowledge of Dreamweaver comes from Lynda.com's videos. I'm surprised that the instructor behind those videos never mentioned any such problem about nested templates.
Me too. To me this says that they have never *actually* used them either. It's very disappointing.
Is there any other way to replicate this functionality?
Yes, in every case there is. But first tell me how you were going to use them, please. What specifically is it about them that you were going to leverage in your page design?
When working with templates, I use the following scheme....
First, I mentally separate the page layout into three sections:
1. Stuff that will not change for the life of the site (i.e., the basic
structural elements)
2. Stuff that *could* change from time to time (e.g., navigation elements,
burst advertisements, section-specific navigation, etc.)
3. Stuff that *will* change from one page to the next
Then I create a template containing all class1 elements. Next I create
server-side include files containing all class 2 elements and place them on
the template as needed. Note - some of the class 2 elements may be
"section-specific elements", and their placement on the template will be
subject to the next item. Finally, I insert editable regions to cover the
class 3 items, INCLUDING the section-specific navigation.
This allows me to just cookie-cut the rest of the site. I estimate that
even for fairly large sites, about 80% of my work goes into planning and
creating this template file.

Bursting across sections?
