Creating a CQ template by html designers.

Hi CQ professionals,
By following CQ documentation, creating a template seems like very tricky for a non-programmer to do.
You have to access into CRXDE LITE
to put a file under template folder,
tweeking properties to point a jsp file,
and finally add htmls in that jsp file.
Is there any layer that a html designers can put their code instead of doing it in CRXDE? - something like WCM's drag and drop type of GUI interface?

There is no out of the box solution for this, out of the box CRXDE or CRXDE Lite is the only approach.
There are custom solutions that you could attempt involving adding another templating engine, but most of my clients tend to adopt CRXDE. If you create a good global template that abstracts the functionality from presentation it is fairly easy to create a templating structure that people familar with HTML can work with.

Need to create stupid proof templates for non-designers

Ok folks, I'm new to this forum having come across it in search of a solution to my problem.
I need to create illustrator template files (.ai not .ait) that customers can download and use to create their own artwork for print. I have to create them in every printable paper format from business cards to A3 posters, folding, non-folding yada yada.
Now, previously, we used an .ai file with a guide layer we created. This guide layer had all relevant info, was named accordingly. It was set not to print and locked. As I tend to use print to file, distiller and all, this has always been perfectly adequate to create my pdfs. Of course, this doesn't work the same way when saving a pdf, which is what most people do. However, customers who wish to download the templates are having some difficulty with the concept of 'make sure you delete the guide layer before saving your pdf'.
For the most part, the customers using these files are not illustrator literate. Even though there are clear instructions to 'delete' the guide layer when saving the needed pdfs, they are failing to do so. This means when the .ai (with the non printable layer) is saved to pdf, the guide layer as a hidden object is saved within the pdf. Upon printing at our printing facilities, the guide layer has been printed with disasterous results.
A possible solution we came up with was to use the ruler guides to create the guide layer. For this solution to work though, I need to be able to use different colours for different guides within the same document. Which we can't. We can only change all the guide colours and they are all the same colour.
Another idea would be to outline text indicating various printable and non-printable areas and making them into guides via View>guides>make guides, which works to an extent but looks messy, especially when viewing the full page and again, isn't particularly distinctive, leading back to having different guides in different colours.
I've come across another possible solution involving template layers. Viewing the resulting pdf seems fine and in all purposes it does what we need, except for when reopening the saved (not printed) pdf back in illustrator, the template layer is still there and I need it gone. The same way it would be if the .ai were printed to postscript and sent through distiller.
My ideal solution would be to have to ability to have the different coloured ruler guides in place throughout my document, but as I previously stated, all guides have to be the same colour and that's useless in this instance.
So, has anyone got any bright ideas. Coincidentally I need to create the same templates for both psd and indesign but I'll cross that bridge when I've figured this out.

Hey Mike, thanks for the response.
1. Not a chance, if, even when the process is described in great detail in an info pdf, available as info on the website (with screenshot instructions) and mentioned in the .ai file itself, they aren't even deleting the guide layer, then turning off 'Preserve illustrator editing capabilities' is kind of a stretch. Like I said, the folks these templates are to be designed for are not illustrator literate for the most part.
2. Not sure if this would work. I'd have to look into it.
3. Beyond my capabilities. I'll let you know if number 2 works.
One possible solution I've come up with uses the idea of a template layer always on top, with 'DELETE THIS LAYER' and screenshot of layers pallette and clear little red arrows etc. If I can the template layer to always remain on top, with their artwork layer underneath, they would have to toggle hide/unhide to view their artwork, and the reminder to remove the guide layer would be pretty much in their face. That's not a guarantee either though.
Personally, I think what I've been asked to achieve is a pretty hard task and honestly, I'm thinking there are no failsafe options.

User-managed image gallery in template-based html site?

I've created a simple, template-based html/css site for a client and they've asked for a set of sales pages for their vans and cars. The idea is that there'll be an entry page, which has an itemised list (thumbnail pic, title and a couple of sentences), which then links to individual template-based pages on which the full information is listed.
So far I've given the client a copy of Macromedia Contribute. No problems there. However, it would be great to have a relatively simple image gallery which will display up to, say, 10 pix.
The problem is that without a complex back-end CMS, I need to find a user-friendly (ie, not technical) gallery system which I can either embed into the template, or set up so it can be easily added to a page.
Am I being overly optimistic here, or is there an option (ideally free, of course!) which someone can recommend? My ideal is something that could be accessed and updated through Contribute, but if there's a standalone app which can do it once the page has been created in Contribute, that would be fine.
Thanks in advance.

Why is the formatting missing from my html page created from a template?

Hi All!
Hope you can help me.
I've created a new template in dreamweaver - all good. When I preview the template page in a browser everything looks perfect.
But when I create a new html page from that template, even though the page looks perfect in design view, all the formatting is missing when I preview it in a browser.
The site settings were relative to the site root and I've changed that to be relative to the document (not sure if that should make a difference). Either way, it hasn't changed anything.
Any ideas?

The site settings were relative to the site root
If you have not enabled "Preview using temporary files" in your PREFERENCES then site root relative links will fail on preview. Why? Because site root relative links *always* begin with "/", and when the browser sees that, it (since it knows nothing about Dreamweaver sites) correctly looks for the path starting from the root of your hard drive, not the root of the DW site. When you enable preview using temp files, before handing the file to the browser, DW obligingly converts all root relative links to document relative links (which *will* work on preview) but to do that it must create a temporary file (there are other things that happen as well, like external files being embedded in the code for the preview, but that is not relevant to this discussion). The reason a temp file is created is so that these changes don't affect your saved file.
So, if you want to use site root relative links, and do previews of your pages, you must enable the temporary files in preview. There is really no downside to doing this except that you may occasionally see a curious file named xzys139(.html in your local file list - this is a temporary file that was handed to the browser for preview, and for whatever reason was not deleted. In fact, this can save your bacon sometimes because it gives you a 'backup' of that page to which you can revert in the event of something catastrophic.
In the larger picture, there is no benefit to using site root relative links UNLESS you are also using server-side includes. It will make your life a bit simpler if you do not use them.
Finally, having made those links in your template file with the site root relative option enabled, changing that option to document relative will only affect NEW links, not existing ones. This is why Ken asked to see the link in your template - it's because he knows that even though you have made the option change, that old link will not be affected and will therefore fail on preview (assuming you have not enabled the temp file thing).

HTML Editor for creating e-mail templates for SAP Cloud for Customer

Hi Techies,
                 Is there any preferred software for creating e-mail templates to use with SAP Cloud for Customers ? I mean to avoid unnecessary errors when creating standard e-mail template which are recognized unified manner within the system.
Will appreciate with rewards points for best support.

Here is a template for the wire-frame that we used. We went with pure HTML tables so that the response could be multi-client compatible. We found that additional code caused issues with certain clients. In the middle table, we had linked icons to our respective self serve properties and additional support options for Chat and our own Support Community.
The content of the email will be placed where #Text# is. Our email responses include the content and the basic signature. We also provide our detailed legal disclaimer at the bottom with additional links if needed.
Let me know if you have any questions.

How to Assign a Static IP address to VM created from VM template

Hello All,
I'm New to SCVMM, I have installed my SCVMM 2012 R2 in Lab environment and added 02 Hyper Servers on the same (One server is in domain & another one is in Perimeter Network). Once I added the Hyper-V's two Virtual
Network's has been detected in SCVMM.
Now I'm trying to create a new VM in each Hyper-V with a static IP address. I have created the VM template without connecting to any network, while creating the VM, below is my settings,
VMNetwork : VMPeri01 (Perimeter VM Network)
VM subnet : None
(Grayed out)
IP Address:
Clicked Static IP
IP Protocol version: IPV4 only
MAC address:
clicked Static (its showing 00:00:00:00:00:00)
Question: How can I assign the static IP to my New VM?
Note: I have created a static IP pool for the virtual network (w.r.t : http://www.virtualizationadmin.com/blogs/lowe/news/adding-an-ip-pool-to-vmm-2012-241.html)
Please help me to create the VM using Static IP (specific address now)

While creating the VM choose the Virtual Network on the Hyper-V from the IP pool which you have created it wil take the IP during provisioning.

Meta Tag Placement in pages created from a template

I am updating a site and want to make sure that I place my meta tags correctly in individual pages created from a template. Can you tell me if my placement is correct?
Below is code I added to my template:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>Untitled Document</title>

<meta name="keywords" content="piano lessons, guitar lessons, drum lessons, flute lessons, violin lessons, afterschool performing arts, voice lessons, singing, saxophone, trumpet">
<meta name="description" content="Information about Young Musician Institute's Afternoon Arts Program for piano, guitar, drums, violin, viola, trumpet, saxophone and cello">

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
As usually, Begin and end editable sections are grayed out, and the meta tag names are blue according to my scheme so I think I am doing it correctly, however, I want to be sure before submitting it to google incorrectly. Can you tell me if I am correct?
Thank you

for clarification, are you saying that I could have put them on the line after:
<title>Long Island, NY, 11550 Music Dance Art & Drama Lessons</title>
Yep.
Second, adding these meta tags actually did help the ranking of this company. They were not listed before I did this on their old site. They were on page 1 of their category hours after I did this for them.
I think it's just coincidence. However, for sure it wasn't the keywords that did that, since those are just ignored (the meta keywords contents, not the meta description contents).
what are the search engines looking for? I want to make sure to design with those things in mind.
They are looking for semantic content on the page. That means the contents of tags like <title>, <h1>, <h2>, <h3>. That also means (derived) keywords contained in content 'above the fold', and in filenames, in links, in title and alt attributes. In other words, search engines want to rank your pages based on *real* meaning of the contents of the page, not on some arbitrary listing of keywords that you place in a meta keyword tag.
Search engines also pay lots of attention to INCOMING links from other well ranked sites....

Can't add spry widget to page created from dreamweaver template

Please help! I have created a template in Dreamweaver and
from that template I have created an html page. I want to add
different tabbed and/or accordion spry widgets to multiple pages
however I keep getting an error when I try to add a widget to an
editable region. I can add the widgets to the dwt file, but I do
not want the same widget on all pages created from that template.
Please advise!
Thanks
cycleguy

If that's all that's on the child page you are in trouble.
Anyhow, it appears to me that the template has not been
properly created
since I do not also see an editable region around the
<title> tag in your
code. Please read my previous post and follow the
instructions.

Can I create multiple presentation templates against one content item?

I want to create multiple presentation templates that publish the same content item in different ways.
As far as I can tell from the publisher GUI this is not possible.
Am I missing something?

It may not be feasible to have two PT associated with a DT technically. But there is a workaround / solution for your requirement. thats what i meant in my prev post.
To accomplish your requirement in a simple fashion try doing this
1) copy the contents of all PT, DT and Content Items with all its folders in the _NEWS (portlet templates) folder to a new folder called 'PortletA' (or) make use of the News portlet template to create a portlet
2) Now modify the DT's and PT's according to your requirement.
3) Create a portlet using "Published Content" webservice and configure the 'Main' to your portlet.
4) if you create and pblish new article, you can find two html's are getting published.
If this doesn't resolve your requirement,
Create two sets of Dt & Pt's. In the article PT, try to add the other Pt as "related items to publish", so on publishing one the other one gets published.

How to create User defined templates

Hi all,
I want to create user defined templates for pages and regions and how to create form templates and report templates.
pls help me.
thanks
mani

Hi Mani,
If you copy a template in ApEx, you have your own version of that template.
If you then alter the code in your version of the template, you have your own custom version.
If you don't understand the underlying HTML, you are going to struggle.

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.

Hi,
In your new template you have copied only standard WBS. For the activities to be copied, you need to assign that created Std. WBS in Std. Network using CN02.
Input the Std.WBS in the Std. Network in CN02 and check if activities are also created in the network. In the Std. Network change screen press F6, and input Std. WBS in the header data details.
Else, you can create a new std. Network using CN01 and create the activties also in the same and follow the above.
Then try creating new project in CJ20N.

Kabir

How Do I Create a New Template for iBooks Author?

Apple's provided templates are way too narrow for some of the ideas I want to implement. I do not see any real method for creating a template from scratch. I stripped one of the available templates down to nothing and rebuilt some of the pages and then selected Save As Template... but iBooks Author keeps the original template as the content instead of allowing me to use my own created Chapter, Section, and Pages with the Add Pages.. Button.
How to you create a new template from scratch? I think it is absurd if you can only create a new template from one of the 6 predefined templates.

Be careful on unlocking and deleting stuff, cause this very easily can destroy the layout and your current arrangement
About dimensions, If i am not mistaken, i read on another thread that this cannot be happen.
