Creating multiple similar pages in DW

Hi there,
I'm trying to create multiple similar pages in DW. It's no funky stuff, just I've got a lot of videos (clean stuff) that I wish to display, one video per page and I've got like a 1000 videos or so.
Example:
http://goo.gl/KqdXp
Now, creating a copy of the page, changing the name and changing the fields in the code for every single page would be an option but would take forever. I wonder if there's a function in DW to automate the process, like creating page after page with only a certain part of the code differing.
I really need to automate this or my fingers will start bleeding.
Kind regards

Yes, I was thinking about creating some sort of database first but as a matter of fact it might just be a better solution to create 1000 pages in this case because I would like to be able to customize each page individually when the need occurs.
I mean creating a thousand pages is relatively easy per se, it's just that I would like this tiny piece of code to differ between them... I guess DW perhaps does not have a built in function to do this... I was looking to other solutions like Drupal or Joomla but I'm sort of accustomed to using DW for web editing needs and if possible I would like to stick to the same platform that I'm used to rather than engulfing lots of new info about CMS systems... And databases, which I haven't been working a lot with.
Obviously, creating a 1000 pages might seem brutish at first but I've been thinking about it for a while and I think it could actually suit my needs.

How to create multiple cover pages following the text

Hello everyone,
I have a such difficult problem on pages : I would like to create multiple cover pages, and I want these pages to follow the text. I will to explain this a little better.
I have to write a really long report. I need to divide it in some "sections" (I'm not sure that's the same meaning that in the software) and each section would start by a kind of cover page with a fullpage photo and a title in textbox. Let's see it with a capture :
My problem is that I would like this page to follow the text. Because on the previous page, I have a table of contents which is evolving and taking more and pages each time. And the problem is that my "cover page" isnot moving to stay after the table of contents, it's the table which is continuing after it. So I have a first part before the cover page and a second part after the cover page. I would like all the text to stay before.
Thank you in advance for any replies

Use anchored images at the beginning of each section.
You will need to initially make it smaller so you can position the image and the TextBox (make this second so it is higher in the stack) set a page break, then enlarge the image and Textbox to suit.
If they are anchored (Move with Text) they will maintain ther position in the document.
Turn off Text wrap on both your image and the Title. Insert a Page Break after the Title Textbox anchor on the page to move the following text to the next page of the section.

How do I create multiple-up pages populated with variable data?

I am trying to create a variable data Illustrator file but with a catch, I have to create multiple points of data on one artboard. I am using a template with 36 identical shapes, and I'm trying to add a different image to each based off of using variable data. I understand the premise of creating multiple output files based off of an illustrator file and data, but I have to create a single output file using 36 points of data, all QR codes. The reason is that this 36-up 14.5" x 14.5" sheet will be printed on a large format inkjet and then be fed into another machine (not a cutter) that requires that specific layout for it's process. I cannot create individual files, I need sheets based off of my 14.5" x 14.5" 36-up template.
Any suggestions other than making each shape in the template a separate variable (even though they are all the exact same shape) would be greatly appreciated.
My goal is to populate each of these shapes with a different QR code and then output the whole sheet as a single .EPS or .PDF file.

My goal is to populate each of these shapes with a different QR code and then output the whole sheet as a single .EPS or .PDF file.
You're barking up the wrong tree for this with Illustrator's Variables palette.
Think of it like this:
Imagine a typical spreadsheet with multiple rows of the same kind of data, except for the first row which serves as the "labels" of the columns.
The on-page objects which you define as Variables in Illustrator correspond to the first row; the column labels.
The datasets correspond to the following rows of values below the label row.
Cycling through the datasets simply moves up and down the rows, revealing one row's data at a time for each of the column labels.
Your multi-up array does not fit that data model. You are essentially trying to make a layout showing all the individual cells below the single label of one column (downward across all rows). (Illustrator's Variables feature doesn't even let you put multiple instances of a single variable in the document, so that the same value occurs in multiple places.)
You're trying to build the functional equivalent of a typical "gang up" press sheet, like a 10-up layout of business cards, each showing the same kind of data (name, phone, etc.) for multiple employees, so that you don't have to do separate press runs for each employee. That's certainly a common need, and one quite appropriate to a program like Illustrator. But Illustrator's Variables feature does not do that.
Essentially, what you are wanting to do is to replicate the basic functionality of any program which is used to print labels from data (like the typical mail merge function for address labels which are ganged up with some number of different labels on a page). What you want could be done in Illustrator via a custom JavaScript, but it would be a pretty silly exercise in reinventing the wheel. If it were me, I'd probably build the solution in FileMaker Pro (a database program), depending on the specific graphics requirements. However, you should be able to do it in InDesign, using its data merge feature.

Newbi Question: How does one create a similar page to this using APEX 3.1?

Hi,
I am trying to create a help document with screen shoots inside our APEX web application and I am hamstrung by the type of Region and Item objects available to me. When I tried to create HTML region I was limited to how much html characters I can put in the source. When I look into the item menu nothing seems to allow me to stick in large chunk of HTML code either.
A little searching on this forum and I came across this page: http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/apex/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm#t
It is exactly the type of page I want to create with lots of text and screen shots and I presume that it is built within APEX? So my questions is: How did they do this? Did they use tools available within APEX or some external tool? Was all this outputted using BLOB and Htp("") and PL/SQL? I am trying hard to avoid having to do that.
I was also unable to stick in an in image into my page using instruction from http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10499/ui.htm#CBBHGJCH which left me pretty frustrated. (external amazon gif worked).
Thanks for any help,
Wayne

Wayne,
I am glad that you got images to display. I am not sure what kind of html report you want to display, there is a limit of number of characters in a region its 32767 characters, so if you want to display large html file you can create html region with no template and limit each region to 30,000 characters and create as many region as you want.
If you want to display data from any table ( as per the first url) you can create SQL reports, something like
select ename
     , deptno
     , sal
     , case
          when ename = 'SCOTT' then '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#us_flag.gif" alt="Image Title">'
          when ename = 'SMITH' then '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#chants.gif" alt="Image Title">'
          when ename = 'MARTIN' then '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#cloche.gif" alt="Image Title">'
          when ename = 'MILLER' then '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#chandelles.gif" alt="Image Title">'
          when ename = 'JONES' then '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#shoe.gif" alt="Image Title">'
          else '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#hallo.gif" alt="Image Title">'
     end image

Creation of Multiple Similar Assets

Hi experts,
I need to ask if following is the best that can be done for splitting few assets of one class to another class or is a better solution exists for it Or is there any transaction/report that can create Multiple Similar Assets?
Currently, we have one asset class in which assets of two categories are created. We now need to split them to individual classes. For that we researched on how to transfer one category of multiple assets within a Company Code and found that there is a possibility of tranferring multiple assets through txn ABUMN.
The problem arises that we can only transfer asset to existing ones when the case is 'Multiple Assets Transfer', while we can create new Asset when the case is 'Single Asset Transfer'. WorkAround that we found is to first create Similar Assets in new Asset Class, record it and do it through LSMW for creation of assets in bulk.
Hope if anyone went through such situation and like to share his experience
Thanks for reading

Hi
I did not have such experience earlier but sure your workaround is perfect. Goahead. Transaction code ABUMN is mainly for such transfers and/or asset class adjustments

One portal instance - multiple URLs & Pages

I have created multiple portal_home pages on one portal instance and would
like to redirect calls from two different URLs to specific Portal_home
pages. For example, when the user types in http://foo.us.oracle.com they
are redirected to http://foo2.us.oracle.com/pls/portal30/url/page/page1
and those who type http://foo2.us.oracle.com are redirected to
http://foo2.us.oracle.com/pls/portal30/url/page/page2. How can this be
done?
Thank You,

Apply multiple master pages to multiple layers

I have a document that has multiple layer and I need to apply a different master page to each layer.
Layers are as follows and in this order:
     USA Pricing
     No Pricing
     Euro Pricing
     Yen Pricing
     and so on.
I have a master page created for each versions layer. I lock all layers except the USA layer and apply the USA Pricing master to that layer it looks great.
So I lock that layer and unlock the next layer and apply the applicable master to that layer and so on but, even though the other layers are locked what ever master
I last applied is the one that sticks to all layers.
How do you get the master page to stick to each layer without using the Master page override to each layer and making it become part of the page?
If you do that and then you have a change to the Master page on a specific layer/version you have to edit every page and can not simply make a global change on the applicable master!!
Thank you in advance for any help that can be given.

Do you mean that only one master page can be applied per page and that it is automatically applied to all layers of that page?
"so it sounds like you need to create a new master page with the attributes you need for each layer included in one place."
I don't understand what you mean by this? I have created multiple master pages that have everything I need on them to be applied to each layer!
They just don't stick to the individual layer! Maybe it the "included in one place" part of your reply that will work but, I don't understand what you mean by that!

How can I create multiple pages, with different layouts to the others, in DW fluid grid layouts?

Hi everyone, : )
I am creating a website using FGL in DW CS6, v12.0 build 5808. I do not have Creative Cloud (do you have to pay to use this service?).
I have created one layout for my home page.
I would like to create several more pages, but I want them to use different layouts (as well as different content).
I tried to do something similar before using 'save as' (this was with a non-FGL), but whenever I changed the original page that I had 'save as'd' from, the layout in all the other pages would change too!
I found a possibility from someone else online suggesting using a template, but have not tried it yet: http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Adding-second-fluid-page-in-119937.S.192422240
I'm a bit scared of breaking everything, as I am new to web design and have had to restart the whole process a few times due to messing up the fluid.css etc and other issues, so I am taking baby steps.
Happy to try whatever's suggested and, while I wait for (I hope) your responses, I think I will try the template thing, but from the reply the person who asked the question gave, it sounds like his subsequent pages changed too, as I mentioned above? *scared* ; )
If anyone can help me with this query I would be very grateful. Thank you! : )

Thanks David.
I tried using different IDs for the other pages, but eventually one of the divs seems to 'break' - it overlaps other divs, or cannot be moved or resized (you can select the outline and it goes blue, but no 'move up a row' or down a row or 'lock to grid' etc icons appear and it can't be drag-re-sized), plus the green overlay disappears (just from that div. I'm aware of how to turn visual aids on and off), so it seems broken. This often seems to happen if you rename a div once it's been created; it does not rename in the layout.css on the right side panel (CSS Styles) in DW and the 'broken' behaviour above is exhibited. Do you know anything about this? Is this the 'edit this doc at your peril' stuff that most tutorials seem to mention? Am I doing something wrong?
I also tried making an FGL and saving out the original boilerplate.css, layout.css and respond.js. Then created multiple new FGLs and each time it created new versions of layout.css (called 'untitled-1', 2 etc.). Once I had created all the FGLs, I deleted all the new boilerplates and untitled.css files. Then restored the original ones and changed the link at the top of each page's html to refer to the same filename (the original layout.css), rather than untitled.css. I thought this might work and it seemed to for a while, but then as I had to add new div names for the sections on each page, it eventually broke (as above).
Anyway, I think you have a good point about different layouts and it occurred to me also while I was exploring and waiting for replies here. I think I will make one layout for all pages and go with that. I have a couple of questions about that though:
1. I think the max number of divs I want for one of the pages is 10, but some pages need less divs. If I only fill e.g. 8 divs on one page, will the other ones be sat there empty? I think they will actually...I guess I'm asking because I have not tried it yet (will do after this) and it takes so long to do this trial and error.
2. If the amount of content in each div is different, e.g. let's say Page 1 has 6 lines of content in div1, but page 2 may have an unlimited amount of content (I will want to add to it in the future). Will this result in the div on page 1 being a huge block of empty space after its 6 lines?
Thanks so much for your help!

Part 10 - Creating Multiple Pages | Classroom: Basic Site Layout and Navigation in Dreamweaver | Adobe TV

This lesson covers how to create multiple pages based on the page you have already created earlier. You’ll then learn how to set up the navigation and how to change the content for each page including adding different background graphics by customizing certain CSS properties while still maintaining the shared CSS scheme across the site.
http://adobe.ly/xLdpe4

After this tutorial no 10 my background image didn't change for the rest 3 pages. It stayed the same even though I made a new css rule as shown. I picked tag, this document only, and body as a selector name. Changed the bckgrpund color to black, and than changed the picture as well. I clearly see the new "body" css rule that is above my Paolo css rule in the side bar, but no changes on the pages, I still got the same bckground image for all of them.
Any ideas? Anybody with a similar problem?

Creating multiple "sites", similar to many iPhoto Libraries

I noticed that iWeb lets you create multiple sites, but the page names have to be unique across all sites. I figured there had to be a way around this. I do similar things with iPhoto, I have mutliple libraries and select which library I'd like to use when I start iPhoto. This way I can keep my photos separate and more manageable to me.
I saw someone posted in this forum about where does iWeb store your sites. The answer is Your-Home-Folder/Library/Application Support/iWeb/ in a file (really a package) called "Domain". If I rename that file to say "My first set of sites" and then start iWeb, it starts off with no sites defined.
Of course this hack requires me to manage the names of the files. The file named "Domain" is the one that is used by iWeb. Even clicking on a differently named file does not work. iWeb silently appears to ignore it. I tried pressing the option key while starting iWeb (like I do when starting iPhoto) but alas no luck, iWeb ignores it.
Not the most elegant solution, but it works for those who are willing to manage the file name stuff manually.

17" PB Mac OS X (10.4.4)

Yes. I tried various other things, like renaming and then double clicking on the now differently named file (kept the existing extension) yet iWeb would not use the file I had double clicked on.
Friday evening both iWeb and Rapidweaver were new to me. For now I've settled on using Rapidweaver, but I certainly hope that iWeb gets updated, and quickly. iWeb clearly has potential but Apple needs to make some changes before the program becomes very useful, at least in my opinion.

In Pages (5.5.1) can I create multiple Paragraph Styles within one paragraph?

In Pages (5.5.1) can I create multiple Paragraph Styles within one paragraph.
I need to make a table of contents for my Mater's Thesis and want to use the automatic table of contents feature. I want the first sentence of a paragraph to have a different paragraph setting than the rest of the paragraph. Is this possible?
Thanks!

Nice of you to be doing this for your Mother's Thesis.
There are several issues here:
1. A Paragraph Style is what it says, the style for the paragraph
2. You can format text within a paragraph by applying a Character Style
3. Pages 5.5.1 lets you apply formatting to overall text for the T.O.C. but not parts of it and you can not retain that formatting as a Paragraph style
So in answer to your question, no.
You will need to create the T.O.C. manually and unfortunately as Pages 5.5.1 can't create bookmarks (just one of over 100 missing features) you will be unable to link the T.O.C. to the referred pages in the list.

Can I create multiple instances of realplayer plug-in in one jsp page?

I want to play meny video files in one jsp web page, these video files are to be played with the embeded plug-in of realplayer, each plug-in was linked(use its SRC property) a different video file. But, to my surprise, when I press the play button, every player played the same video file,not its specified file.
I have no idea why it did so and what can I do?
Whether can I create multiple instances of realplayer plug-in in one jsp page, that is to say, each instance is independent of others?
thanks in advance!

Generally speaking, Internet Explorer tries not to launch multiple versions of a plug-in. So what's happening is that you load the first video clip, and then before it has a chance to play, you load the second video clip into the same window. (It's like changing songs in WMA.)
In some cases - this may not work for Real Player, but it's worth trying - if you spawn a new window through a hypertext link and then launch the plug-in in that window, IE will treat it separately. Otherwise, you could not, for example, run two Macromedia Flash applications from different web sites at the same time.
Keep in mind that only one program can access the soundcard at a time, so Real Player may purposely "pause" or "cancel" other video streams until the active one finishes. If you were using the desktop version, selecting another video by any means aborts the currently running video (i.e., RP won't let you create a separate instance of it).
The easiest solution is to create a wrapper JSP file that takes the name of the video clip, and plays it. Call that JSP and specify that it should be opened in a new window via the TARGET keyword in the anchor tag. Then hopefully RP itself won't block a second window from running.

Is there a way to create multiple New Tabs pages and name them?

This feature is great but I would like to be able to create multiple new tabs pages and label them. This would be more useful than tabs groups that all load at once.

No that is (currently) not possible.
It will be possible in future Firefox version to specify the number of rows and columns.

How to create multiple page pdf file

Hello,
Sometimes I need to create multiple (more precisely double) page pdf file from another pdf file to reduce the printing cost of the document. For this I crop the single page document and then print it in a double page pdf file (in landscape).
But I am still facing a problem in this regard. When I make a double page pdf the gutter (distance between two pages, left and right) is more than 1.5 inch. This is a great problem. Can anyone tell me how to reduce the gutter when making a double page pdf file (don't just suggest to crop the single page pdf, i tried this as well, I cropped using the feature "remove white margin" but still there is more than 1.5 inch between two pages)
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
mathmad

When you print, select the printer properties for the Adobe PDF printer. On the layout tab is an option for the number of pages per sheet. In some versions it is listed as multi-up as I recall. I did not say to simply print from the 2-up display. It is a printer option, not a display option.
