Creating template from template / editable regions

Hello all,
I'm hoping you can help me.
I am creating an online clothing shop website and am having trouble with creating category pages.
I have created the template with all headers, logos, footer, a spry menu etc.
I have then from the template (via new - Page from template etc) pages for mens / womens / shoes
This part is all fine.
However each of these pages ie. the 'mens' will have pages per category created from it for mens shirts, mens top etc.
For example I need a list of each category on the mens page that I dont want to appear on any other pages, just all of the mens category pages (tops, shorts etc) and this will also be done for the womens pages.
I saved the 'mens' page as a template but due to the section that the category list being in an 'editable region' when I have created new pages from the 'mens' template the changes wont filter through to each category page.
How can I insert a category list into the 'mens' template that will reflect the changes I make in the category pages? As I don't want to manually update each individual category page.
I hope this makes sense and someone can help me out
Thanks

What is your skill level with HTML and CSS?
I saved the 'mens' page as a template but due to the section that the category list being in an 'editable region' when I have created new pages from the 'mens' template the changes wont filter through to each category page.
This is not a good start. You do not want to begin using nested templates for anything.
One simple way (although not the optimal way) to do what you want to do is to make the place on the page where you want the lists to appear into an editable region in the template. Then create a variety of Library items (in DW) each of which contains only the list for each of your categories. On the appropriate child pages, insert the associated list into the editable region. So, for example, the men's page will have the men's list, etc.
A Library item is like a mini-template in that changes made to any given Library item are automatically propagated to all instances where that Library item is being used.
Is that what you are after?

Can't create VM from template on iSCSI

Hello,
I'm trying to create new VM from original Oracle template "OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_PVM_4GB" on iSCSI device without a success.
Steps to reproduce:
1) /OVS is mounted as iSCSI block device
2) Original Oracle template is copied into /OVS/seed_pool/OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_PVM_4GB
3) Oracle VM Manager - Import template (no problem)
4) Oracle VM Manager - Create VM from template
Result: Files are copied into running_pool, vm.cfg is updated, new VM is visible in VM Manager but with this message:
failed: <Exception: Error updating the image.> StackTrace: File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSSiteVM.py", line 471, in config_vm raise Exception("Error updating the image.")
5) Oracle VM Manager - Start new VM
Result:
Status in VM is Running
I can connect using VNC console
But the VM is constantly rebooting with these messages on the console:
Registering block device major 202
xvda: xvda1 xvda2 xvda3
xvda: p2 exceeds device capacity
xvda: p3 exceeds device capacity
Waiting for driver initialization.
xvda: rw=0, want=101530648, limit-12707414
attemp to access beyond end of device
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Looks like there is a problem with partition sizes within the VM image file (xvda: p2 exceeds device capacity)
I've tried to mount iSCSI formated with ocsf2 and ext3 - I'm getting the same error.
However there is no problem when I mount /OVS as NFS or local drive and repeat the steps above.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated,
Honza

It's all sorted now.
What I've learnt: OVS/Xen hypervisor doesn't seem to handle 4kB iSCSI block sizes.
I had to change it to 512 bytes (configuration on the iSCSI storage - nothing on the Oracle VM side) and re-create all volumes.
Just in case you experience something similar.

Can't create VM from template

Hello,
I'm getting this error when creating VM from template:
failed: <Exception: Error updating the image.> StackTrace: File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSSiteVM.py", line 471, in config_vm raise Exception("Error updating the image.")
The VM is actually created despite this message bot when I try to power it up I'm getting another error:
failed:<Exception: ['xm', 'list', '478_CITConnect_Internal_TEST']=>Error: Domain '478_CITConnect_Internal_TEST' does not exist. > StackTrace: File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSXXenStore.py", line 192, in xen_get_vnc_port vm_id = xen_get_vm_id(vm_path) File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSXXenStore.py", line 34, in xen_get_vm_id stdout = run_cmd(args = ["xm", "list", vm_name]) File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSCommons.py", line 98, in run_cmd raise Exception('%s=>%s' % (cmdlist, p.childerr.read()))
The template was copied from another VM pool (where it works fine, version 2.1.1) to a newly configured VM Server (2.1.5).
The new server is configured for HA (shared storage) and I was able to create VM from ISO without any problem there.
The template was created from existing VM (Oracle EL4 PV) running on the "old" server.
Any ideas where I should look into?
Thanks

InDesign CS5- where is create new from template?

Hi,
I was looking for creating something new from one of the default templates of CS5, like I've done in the past with CS3 and CS4. However I find that there doesn't seem to be an option to create new from template.
Am I completely missing where it is? Have they called it something else? Have they removed the default ones completely from InDesign?

I should perhaps amend that to don't waste time with a template for multiple labels on a sheet. If you see something that works for you as far as basic layout, make a one-up lable from it (cupy the elements from a single label into a new file sized for only one label). Get a sheet full of blank labels, place that file in the upper left position on your larger sheet layout, then use Edit >Step and Repeat... to make the grid. This is much more efficient as it allows you to edit the entire sheet at one time by editing the single label file.
If you need to d a data merge, you can do nearly the same thing -- put a single blank label layout in the upper left position, add your merge field placeholders in that one label, and run the merge. DO NOT put anything beyond the single label layout on the sheet for a Data Merge job. Also, note that there is a bug in CS5/5.5 that will give you an incorrect multiple records merge if you try to preview. If you preview you must use Undo before the merge to go back to the pre-preview state.

Remove Templates from Create Incident From Template Selection

Originally all users had access to all of the templates created, however now that we have been using SCSM for a while the number of templates created has started to grow and make the Create Incident From Template Screen difficult to navigate. I am
trying to limit the number of templates each team sees based on security group, however when I uncheck the templates from the Form Templates section of the User Role, they continue to display for all users. Is there somewhere else I have to go in and
change this that I am missing?

Workflow - create document from template

Hi,
Could anyone tell me what could be the possible use of Create Document from Template step in workflow...

Hi vijay,
1)Open the PC application by choosing the entry Double-click to create in the Document templates tray by double-clicking or choose in the step definition of the document generation.
The PC application that you last used to create a template is opened in the Workflow Builder. The system fields and the container elements of the workflow container are offered for selection in the navigation area. They can be transferred into the template by double-clicking.
You cannot use any multiline container elements in your template.
All relationships created between container elements/system fields and the document template are displayed in the object area.
It is not possible to insert system fields and container elements into all types of document template.
2) If you want to create a document template of a different class, select Change document class and choose the new type of document template.
3) Select to assign a name for the document template.
4) Create the document template in the usual way in your PC application. You can use all the functions of the PC application.
5) Insert container elements and/or system fields from the object area into your template by double-clicking. These fields are replaced with the content of the container elements/system fields at runtime.
6) Select to save your document template.
Hope this helps u,
Regards,
Nagarajan.

BAPI/FM to Create Projects from Templates

Is there any BAPI/FM that can create Operative Project Structures referring the Standard WBS including all objects i.e, WBS,N/W,Activities,Milestone of standard project?
If not, what could be the work around?
Regards
Sreenivas

Hi Robin !
        I have the same issue here, to create projects from a template, using a Function Module to do that, and I tryed to use the FM CJWB_PROJECT_COPY as you suggested, and I achieved to create project from template but, for any reason not known by me, the project is created without status object, so I can´t open it on any transaction(CJ02/CJ03/CJ20n...). I have tested it in SE37, using test sequences, so I call it and BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT to save the data.
        To make the projects available to work, I needed to run a report named CNSTATUS as explained on SAP Note 170948.
        Do you know why using CJWB_PROJECT_COPY created the projects without status object assignment ? I could not find any documentation about this function, so maybe the problem can be caused by some wrong parameter that I was passed to it.
        Do you already used it ? If yes, can you send a sample code ?
        Thank you in advance, and best regards !

ABAP class to create doc. from template

Hi all,
Does anybody know if is there any ABAP class which can call the "Create with template" functionality?
The idea is to create an action associated with the Service Ticket, which will create a document from template (Content Management functionality) when the Service Ticket is closed.
We could use SmartForms, but it seems to have some restrictions:
. Template maintenance is not so user frindly (the content management templates can be created/mantained in MS Word)
. The document is not stored within the Service Ticket context
Kind regards,
Dora

Hi Lance,
you are right. There's no "Create User from template" or "Copy User" Activity in the Integration pack for Active Directory in System Center SP1 or R2.
Perhaps, you can use "Get User" to get some settings from the template and subscribe the results to "Create User" Activity.

Making template background an editable region

Oh my goodness, I'm about to cry. I've literally and without hyperbole spent days trying to figure this out on my own. I have also contacted Adobe Tech help and was willing to pay for help ... all to no avail. I am SO hoping there is someone out there who is able to help me. My deadline to have this website finished is Monday, Sept. 03 and I am stuck. Now down to the question:
I have created a webpage which I have saved as template and which I want to use as my master from which all the other templates and pages on my site will be derived. I would like to be able to change the background in different sections of the site. The page I have created has an image, but other pages may just have a colour. Is it possible to make the background colour and image, as set in the page properties, into an editable region? And, if so, how is it done? If it is not possible, are there any suggestions for work arounds that will allow me at least some flexibility in this matter?
Any help on this will be gratefully accepted and enormously appreciated.
Thank you,
Malene

Thank you so much for the reply. I will be using the Master template I have created to make about another 6 templates. These templates I will use to create about another 200 pages. So, my thinking is that the best way is to make the relevant section editable and that is where I am at a loss. I am a novice designer and not at all versed in HTML, so I rely heavily on Dreamweaver's menus to perform various actions. I know how to make regions editable in general, but I can't find a way to use the "insert editable region" to make the actual background, as set in the "page properties" CSS, editable. I am guessing doing so requires some sort of HTML knowledge that I don't have.
In the code, this is the region I need to make editable (copied and pasted from my template's code):
body {
background-color: #e5dfd3;
background-image: url(../Images/Global/Toronto_Osgoode_Hall_1856.jpg)
; margin-left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;

Help with template locked and editable regions

I have been using templates for years in a very simplified way, my programing skills are not great. Today I seem to have screwed up a template beyond my ability to fix it and possibly all 46 pages attached to it (have not uploaded any of these files though).
The body tag needs to be editable because of the preload images that are part of the tag. The next section needs to be editable for content which is different on all pages. The last part is a table with text navigation to each page which needs to be locked so I can change it from one place.
DW keeps inserting an extra body tag and putting an end body tag after the editable content region (before the locked table), depending on where I try to put the tags. Then it won't let me change areas of the content on individual pages and it's not displaying the bottom nav table (although it does show up in safari, but I know the code is wrong).
Basically what I would like to do is simply have the whole body region editable, except for the one table toward the bottom of each page. Can I do this with out having any content thrown off my pages? I really don't know what code to post at this point since it's all in various stages of "not-working", but the version I am using is DW8.
Here is a link to an online page which might help you see what I am talking about, this is from before I started trying to change the template:
http://www.janosklanyi.com/dresden.html
Thanks,
Kaylee

Hi, AZ,
Templates imply locked regions and editable regions...usually WITHIN the body, so having the entire body editable might be what is throwing things off.
It is possible to make attributes of tags editable, but I don't believe that is supported in DW8. You would make the body tag editable so that the id can be changed to match the page (#contactuspage, #homepage, etc.), and by doing that you can focus your CSS on each page. I use that technique to influence the navigation to highlight the page that I am on (of course, I also put ids on the nav links, viz. #contactus, #home, etc., and #contactus2, #home2, etc. for the footer links). All these you would style in the CSS file. I'm pretty sure you can't pass actual content that way yet, but you can define background images.
I see that you are doing that sort of thing in your pages.
While you are in the template, look at the code just before the <body> tag. There should be something that says


</head>
Copy the two commented lines and change the word "head" to "body" []. Then put the BeginEditable line just before the <body> tag and the EndEditable line just after it. That should leave your body tag open for editing in Code View. Remember, all you want editable here is the <body> tag, not the whole <body> of the document.
Be sure to add editable regions in the rest of the page, controlling them as you wish.
At any rate, have courage...once you have fixed your template, the other 46 pages will fall into line!
Understand that I am working in DWCS4, so I don't know how this is going to work in DW8. Hopefully, it will work fine.
(Have you considered upgrading to CS4? You may still be able to do that from DW8 at an upgrade price.)

Template changes in editable region do not propagate to child pages??

I have a website that was created using Dreamweaver CS4. I have copied the directory onto a machine running CS6 and set it up as a new site in DW. I want to make a change in the editable region of a template that feeds all the pages. However, when I make the change it appears to go through the motion of propagating the change across all the pages, but in fact - when checking 'detail' of the process - all it seems to be doing is identifying the child pages but not updating them. No changes occur. Any ideas? I did not have this problem previously, as far as I remember.
Code snippet follows. I'm trying to add the phone number shown in BOLD below.
Thanks for any help!!

Correct Ken.
The content in editable regions of a DW Template are editable on a page by page basis in all child pages. Any content in an editable region in a Template will not propagate to child pages.
Anything in a non-editable region of a Template can only be edited in the DW Template and those changes will propagate to child pages when the Template is saved.

Problems when Creating Pages from Templates in Dreamweaver 8

When creating new pages from templates in Dreamweaver 8(Ver
8.0.2). The full path for images is not created
i.e. in template the code is <img src="main_page_logo.png"
width="814" height="172" longdesc="Main Page Logo" />
In the new file the code should be :-
<img src="../../Templates/main_page_logo.png" width="814"
height="172" longdesc="Main Page Logo" />
but only :-
<img src="main_page_logo.png" width="814" height="172"
longdesc="Main Page Logo" /> is in the code.
but this does work in Version 8.0.
Does anyone know of a setting or fix for this problem

> Does anyone know of a setting or fix for this problem
It was regarded as a bug in previous versions, and was fixed
in the 8.0.2
release. In normal circumstances, ALL links in a template
file must be
relative to the template document, not relative to where you
intend to save
the child pages. Thus, there would be no way to have a link
in your
template document like the first one you show, e.g.,
<img src="whatever.png"....
*unless* the file was actually in the Templates folder (a bad
idea).
In 8.0.2, you can set your PREFERENCES for the Templates
category to NOT
MANAGE relative links. Be aware that this may have unintended
consequences
for you - specifically regarding other relative links in your
site.

Create Domain from template doesn't loads right deployment configurations

Hi!
I would like to export my domain configuration in a new machine.
As documentation reccomended I've generated the template.jar using the template builder.
When I try to create a new domain on other machine (using the option "create domain from tempalte") I noted that the configuration server would load correctly but the same doesn't happens for the deployment configuration.
Does Anyone know where is the error?
Diego

Thank you for the reply.
Since I've configured a complex environment this is a critical issue for me.
I tried two different solution.
The first is using the template builder, the second using the pack/unpack script but the result is the same.
I hoped to solve the problem unpacking the environment changing only the config file but it seem get more than one problem.
I will ask helping to the support.
