Customizing Blog Templates

Hi!
I need to customize a blog template, to keep branding
cosistent with my client's website.
The one I'm looking at LifeType, with smartie templates, is
too complicated for me. I just don't get it...
Has anyone found an easier way to customize blog templates,
or a blog platform that's easy to customize?
Thanks very much,
Emilie

Ive used Wordpress and managed to customise the template
pretty
extensively - im not a programmer by any stretch of the
imagination, cant
even write javascript - although it takes quite a bit of time
and
concentration to work out the nuts and bolts of just whats
what.
Once you do however, it can be pretty straightforward from
there. Its php
files, and CSS, but you dont have to know php, as long as you
just
understand what it looks like. Most of the customising can be
done in the
CSS.
From memory, I think all the template files are in the one
place.

Fiona

Issue in Custom Blog site definition based on SharePoint 2010 blog site definition after migrating the sites to SharePoint 2013 and site collection upgrade

I have created a custom blog site definition using SharePoint 2010 blog site definition with Configuration ID 31 in onet.xml (new value). This was working fine for SharePoint 2010.
We created new SharePoint 2013 farm and deployed the all Custom solutions in
14/15 folders. After migrating the sites to SharePoint 2013 using Content DB approach, site created previously using my custom definition are working fine.
But after running site collection upgrade these sites stop working. When I post a comment then comments not getting listed on post detail page. However comments are getting added to Comments List but
PostTitle column of Comment is not getting populated.
Also, when we create a new site in SharePoint 2013 using my custom blog template then that is also not getting provisioned. default.aspx and look-up between post and comment list are not working.
If any one has faced such issue then please share your findings and any solution to fix this.
Thanks in Advance :)

Hi ,
According to your description, my understanding is that the blog based on custom blog site definition didn’t work correctly after migrating custom blog site definition to SharePoint 2013.
If you customized the Onet.xml file in a previous version's site definition, you should modify some sections in the file to work in the current version, like <BaseTypes> and <ListTemplate> etc. More information, please refer
to the link below:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa543837(v=office.14).aspx
For that the PostTitle column of Comment is not getting populated, please try to modify the view, then compare the result.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Create a custom web template using VS 2012 with web features,site features sections applied

hi,
Want to create a custom web template using VS 2012 in my SP 2013 environment. i know "Vesku" has posted a great artice on this [ based on prev. version of SP].
here -
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vesku/archive/2010/10/14/sharepoint-2010-and-web-templates.aspx
i am looking for a code based article which has step by step process which provides how to add the site features, web features and attach the eventreceivers etc etc on sitecollection creation when i apply this template from central admin.
can anyone provide me any links / any source how to create a custom web template with one / two custom features - site features element and web features element , / master page etc ....
I am stuck with this. as part of my reqmnt, i need to create a webtemplate with all the customlistinstances, custompagelayouts, custom masterpages, custom appln pages, custom web parts.
help is appreciated !
Das

The problem is that Web Templates are deployed to a gallery in a site collection and aren't available in Central Admin when creating a new site collection. YOu have to create the site collection without choosing a template and then choose your web
template when you first access the root site in the site collection. Here's an article that discusses that process here:
http://sharepointchick.com/archive/2011/02/10/using-web-templates-to-create-site-collections.aspx
Other than that Vesa's article is still the best one and works essentially the same in 2013 as it does in 2010.

More than one blog template?

I have two blogs on the site I'm developing, and I'd like to use different templates on each of them. (One is for News, and the other for Tips 'n Tricks.)
It seems that all blogs have one template. Is that true? Is it possible to use blog-specific tags on a non-blog template? And if there can be only one, where do I submit a Feature Request?
Thanks!

You can create any number of additional layouts! See http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/partner/using-custom-templates-modules.html

Problems with blog template

I'm having two problems with the blog template. First, I wanted to add some images to a blog entry in addition to the main photo at the top of the page. I had wanted these to appear below the main text box. So I selected several pictures in iPhoto and dragged them over to the current blog entry. What I got was a new photo page being created and a small image placed on my blog page that was a link to the newly created photo page that contains a thumbnail image of one of the photos on the photo page. Is there no way to simply insert additional images into a blog page? Even if I can't insert the images into my page, there is a problem with the location of that thumbnail image. It somehow got located near the bottom of the page in between the "made on a Mac" logo and the Next link. I can't seem to select it to move it to a different location. I tried right-clicking, option-clicking and clicking with every other modifier key, as well as ordinary clicking, but either nothing happens or iWeb takes me to the new photo page. How can I manipulate this thumbnail object? Finally, out of frustration about being unable to manipulate the thumbnail away from the Next/Previous links, I decided to try to move them. I started with the "Made on a Mac" logo, selected it and then pressed the down arrow. What I had expected was that my page size would increase as I moved the logo down the page. Instead, I seem to have moved the logo down so far that it has disapeared. How do I get it back? What am I doing wrong here?

I have been corresponding with the company in Lithuania for a few days and we have tried everything we could think of to solve the glitch. I am very much aware of the fact that it is a custom theme, in fact I have further customised it.
The website in question is a private one. In my home country, we are legally required to post our address on the page. I would not want to braodcast that across the Apple community, if I can help it, so that is not an option. Sorry.
I would really appreciate if someone who uses GraphicNodes templates could help me out. Thank you

Custom module template

I've tried this out. The list template works, but how do I get the list-template to direct to my custom detail template?

I looked at the original blog post about the September Update. There was a link to a detailed explaination about how to use this feature. There was a note that said the following:
Note:
Custom templates can only be used for the list view of modules. Example: You can set a custom template for a news item listing, however you cannot set a custom template for the detailed view of individual news items.

Custom Responsive Template

Hi,
Is it possible to create a custom responsive template? If so, how?
Thanks in advance.

There is another discussion thread at this moment about themes and templates: Templates vs Themes.
Just save the theme and you'll have it in all other projects available, no need to save is as an empty project at all. I would also recommend to save the custom theme colors palette, more information here:
Colorful 2015 with Adobe Captivate - Captivate blog
Theme Colors - Captivate blog
If you need more placeholders than the ones you create on the master slides, you can create a template. All depends on your needs...read the thread under the first link. You'll see that my opinion about templates is totally different from Rick's opinion. A template has a theme as well, even if you create a template, please save that theme (and the color palette) because it is a bit more flexible that a template. A theme has three components: Object styles (with the three breakpoint view styles for each object), master slides and skin. Shapes in CP8 have also three states because they can always be used as buttons.

Custom Display template for Content Search webpart

Hi,
I am trying to customize the out of the box "slideshow" display template for content search webpart which renders Images.
By default, the slideshow display template has a fixed the image size which is very small. Is it possible to increase the dimensions of the container or control template to show a much larger image size?
Can anyone please help on how to do this?
Thanks,

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to increase the dimensions of the container or control template to show a much larger image size in the Content Search web part.
I recommend to create a custom Display Template (control and Item display templates) and use JQuery Slider plugin to achieve this goal.
More detailed information are provided in the link below:

How to enable Like/Unlike, paging and searchbox functions for customized blog view list with JSLink.

Hi All
I am trying to customizing a view list which based on a blog template( =AllPost.aspx ) bu JSLink. The view need below 3 functions.
1. User can set Like/Unlike for each item on the list view.
2. User can move page by standard like page navigation buttons( prev/next ).
3. User can search the specific item by searchbox keyword.
I tried to overrideCtx.Templates.Item and overrideCtx.Template.Footer in .js - customized footer returns RenderFooterTemplate(ctx).
a). Like/Unlike function worked fine.
b). Page navigation and search did not worked.
Next, I tried to overrideCtx.Templates.Body -
a). Like/Unlike function worked not fine. - when the user clicks Like/UnLike on the page(n>2), list view moves top(n=1) after the below code executed.
EnsureScriptFunc('reputation.js', 'Microsoft.Office.Server.ReputationModel.Reputation', function ()
Microsoft.Office.Server.ReputationModel.Reputation.setLike(
ctxObj,
listId,
itemId,
like);
b). Page navigation and search worked fine.
Finally, I override both Item and Body with almost same code(differs set for the item object).
After that all functions work fine, but I can not understand
why.
Does anyone have explanation of that or another way?

try this links for button funcitonality:

For example, generate alarm if EIGRP down:)
Thanks, Oleg

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to apply HoverPanel display template to a custom Item_CommonItem_Body display template in sharepoint search results.
You need to download a copy of the display template, then change the hoverUrl variable to point the HoverPanel display template.

Custom RTF templates in Oracle Core Contracts ..

Hello:
We want to create custom RTF templates in Oracle Core Contracts along with custom data templates.
We do not want to use XSL-FO templates since we are finding this too complex to work with ... also the fact that the XML data is being generated by some internal OAF processes that we cannot control.
This is unnecessarily too complex for us.
Can we create our own reporting using XML -Publisher and integrate it in the system ?
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated ... Yesh

Srini:
I did read those pages and unless I am missing something .. it is basically saying the follwing:
Copy the seeded XSL-FO templates and make changes to them and then upload them back. I have no real access to the xml data since it is somehow pre-generated. I do not have a choice of using RTF templates along with the ease of Word based formatting.
The above process goes against the way in which we can write our own reports in XMLP:
(a) Create our own data templates (use our own SQL)
(b) Create our own layout templates (using RTF or XSl_FO)
So I am stuck into undertsanding .... OAF, Java API's ,etc that I should not have to understand to generate a report ...
yesh

Custom Administrative Template Error 53 Key name specified more than once

Hi All,
Hope I've picked the correct forum. I am making my first foray into setting up a custom administrative template for some software that is developed in house. The current deployment method is to merge a reg file on each computer that requires the registry
settings. I am trying to set this up so that it is controlled via GPO.
My idea is that in the a GP can set the registry settings for one or more areas that are controlled by the software.
The problem I have - I get Error 53 Keyname specified more than once on Line 9 (second KEYNAME). In total I will have about 30 different sites this needs to be set up for.
Does this mean that I can't set more than one registry key per "Policy" setting in the GPO?
The adm file I have so far is below
TIA
Jason

How to create a Custom form Template..

Hi Eperts,
I would like to seek a help from you regarding creating a custom form template on custom BO. could you guide me where i have gone wrong in successfully creating a Print form. I am in dead need of this particular solution for a client. It is hampering my entire scenario......
1. I had created a Custom BO and I am trying to preview the created form on the OIF screen.
2. I had created a form on above of the custom BO. This created form and form group is activated and configured as of needed by opening it through ALD (Adobe Life Cycle Designer).
3. I had created a BAC element with some scoping questions and activated it. After activating it i had deployed the Business configuration.
4. my solution got updated with the created and deployed BAC elements and i had done scoping for those elements to make my created form available.
5. I can see my form template in Form Template maitaince under Application user managment WOC. I had made it to be available for all users and published.
6. All the above steps are done success fully with no errors.
7. When i accessed my custom BO and tried to preview the created form i am unable to view it and i am seeing the following window.
Could you help me out in solving this or send me across any detailed document regarding this what you had done previously.
Thanks in advance for your valuable help...
Regards...
Hanu K

It looks like system didn't identify the form template. So please check if the required configuration for "Preview" modal dialog is done properly. In the SDK documentation, refer to section "8.4.3.4 Create a Preview Button for a Print Form"
If you have already done the steps mentioned in the section 8.4.3.4, but still facing the issue then let me know.
Best regards,
Hari

Custom Rowtype Template with apex.widget.report.sort() - does this work?

Hi Folks!
I have a report with a custom rowtype template (3 rows for each dataset) and I have fiddeled around with the build-in javascript sorting-function. (Cause as it seems you can't use the standard sorting functionality on custom rowtemplates.) I came up with a short solution, but I would like to know how safe this is.
Setup very simple:
The Header-Template [before rows]
<table id="myDomId">
    <thead><tr>
        <th><a href="javascript:sortCol(1)">Col1</a></th>
        <th><a href="javascript:sortCol(2)">Details</a></th>
        <th><a href="javascript:sortCol(3)">Col3</a></th>
    </tr></thead>
Then the javascript handling runs like that:
var qmmSorter = {};
$(function(){
   setupSorters();
function setupSorters(){
    qmmSorter.DomCatch = /\d+/.exec($('#myDomId>div').attr('id'))[0];
    qmmSorter.lastCol = 1;
    qmmSorter.asc = true;
function sortCol(colnum){
//console.log(colnum);
    if (qmmSorter.DomCatch) {
        qmmSorter.lastCol = colnum;
        qmmSorter.asc = !qmmSorter.asc;
        javascript:apex.widget.report.sort( qmmDomCatch,'fsp_sort_'+colnum + ( qmmSorter.asc ? '' : '_desc') );
Maybe I'll also add some arrows to indicate what sorting took place. Tested so far in IE9 and Moz - all we really use in our internal network.
But this seems all a bit just too easy. so I'd be really thankful for your comments.
Tanks and greetings,
Tobi

It would be even easier to use column header substitution and retain the built-in sort functionality (although this includes the sort direction image bug).
<table id="myDomId">
<thead><tr>
    <th>#1#</th>
    <th>#2#</th>
    <th>#3#</th>
</tr></thead>
