Default Profiles & Page Templates

I am not sure is the right discussion for this question but I am hoping somebody might be able to help. I want to be able to associate a Page Template with a Default Profile but can't seem to find out how to do this or even if it is possible. For example you are not offered the option to choose a page template whislt within the default profile editor.
What I am trying to achieve it to make every user's home page be based on a template so that at a later date we can update everybody's home pages centrally, whether it be adding new protlets or changing the layout.
Can anybody help?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
The trick to getting elements like your colored bars & logo to carry over from one page to the next is to place them on the section master. Make sure they are floating objects & then select them, go to Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master. However, text will no longer wrap around these objects, so you will have to make adjustments to your margins if you don't want text to be on top of them.

Default Blog Page Template reappears

Does anyone know why the default blog page reappears in a saved customized template whenever you add an entry to your blog. If you have made significant changes to the stock template redoing those changes every time you update your blog is a real pain.

I have the same problem.
When you say "saved customized template" - where is that command/function? I created my site from scratch, and when I need a new page, I either copy an existing page, or build it from scratch.
I'm not sure that you can copy an existing blog entry and make a new entry from it - I believe you have to click on "new entry" which brings you back to the default template.

Default Display Points in Page Templates

Ver 1.6 adds Default Display Points in the Page Templates. As I understand it these would be the default positions for Breadcrumb menus and Sidebars.
How do these work? If you create a region, based on a breadcrumb style menu, you must specify a Display Point. The breadcrumb menu region uses that location rather than the Default Display Point.
How do these work?
And whats a sidebar? it is not a menu type
Thanks

Thanks Vikas.
Since the format had to be repeated over many pages, I just built a custom type of Region that I use with the button positions that I need for which I modified the CSS to include my formatted classes well as the Region for only those button position that I need.

[waterfox] Using default profile. No reset button in Troubleshooting info page.

SIDE QUESTION:
Would having a thousand bookmarks affect firefox performance?
Would an addon prevent the reset button from appearing? (tried disabling(the blocking, not the addon) the most likely culprit, adblock edge, nothing) safe mode seems to "disable" the troubleshooting page for some reason so couldn't really use that to test it.
I would have posted these at the bottom but i noticed secondary questions tend to get ignored. or at least the way i say them gets them ignored, so here they are.
As the title says.
I'm using only one profile and it's the default(not just its name, it's also set as default according to the profile.ini ).
according to
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Troubleshooting_Information_page#Reset_Firefox_to_its_default_state
The only factor the would prevent it from appearing is if I'm not using the default profile, which Is what I am currently using, and it's the only profile I have.
So... what could be preventing it from appearing?

o_o
that... doesn't actually answer the question... but you have a point. I guess that'll do as a solution. I'll mark this as resolved as soon as I try it out. Thanks.
though i'd like to report this missing button thing to the waterfox guys, i'm kinda reluctant to sign up to a forum(overclock.net as their website says) i'd use like, once-- and never look back into again, which is why I asked here. I don't remember where, but I heard Waterfox is the "de facto" 64 bit firefox.
unless i'm misunderstanding it as "official" and Nightly instead, is the "official" build with here as it's main support area?
EDIT: OK. it worked. also, the button STILL doesn't appear. not that i'm pushing that issue at this point.
So one final question before closing this: would lots of bookmarks impact firefox performance in any way? or is it addons alone that will slow firefox? I don't want to "reset" often(not that it's hard to do, just can't imagine anyone wanting to reset their browser every month or so regardless of method.)

Default Page Template for Portal Page Group

Release 2 of Portal (9.0.2.2.22)
Created a page group and several templates.
Edit Page Group Properties, Configure, locate the Default Page Template drop list.
The drop list has only the templates from the shared object page group.
The online help states
=======
Choose the page template to apply to new pages in this page group if the page designer does not explicitly choose one.
Note: This list includes all the page templates in this page group and the shared objects page group.
========
I have several templates in this page group. Why don't they show in this drop list?

You have to make the templates public. Edit the template properties - on the Main tab click "Make Public".

Puzzled by Default Page Template value

I am looking at the 11.1.1.4 Spaces VM trying to understand how the product works.
On the Configuration tab of the Administration page, in the Resources section, the Default Page Template value is "gsr15fd08a7_5f0f_4f6e_9150_2a7eb8b5fb7a". When I look at the GUID values for each of the Page Templates available as Resources, none match.
questions:
where can I find the "gsr15fd08a7_5f0f_4f6e_9150_2a7eb8b5fb7a" Page Template?
is there a general way to find a resource given a GUID?
Thanks

How du I create a Page Template w. default language other than US ??

The default language is defined by the page group, not by the page template. You can't change the default language for a page group, but you can define the default language when the page group is created.

Create OS X Default Profile/Template & Bind to AD (10.6 & 10.5)

This article will explain how to create a default user profile/template for OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard & OS X 10.5 Leopard as well a quick overview of how to bind your Mac to AD (Active Directory)
Why create a Default profile/template?
If you a computer that multiple users log into it on a regular basis & you want all users to have an identical profile with looks, setting etc. then this article will show you how to do so.
Binding to AD (Active Directory)
With the new version of OS X Snow Leopard, Apple has now moved where the Directory Utility is found. It's now part of core services unlike OS X Leopard where it was found in the Utilities folder.
Step 1 (Create default user profile/template ** OS X Snow Leopard & Leopard)
With your “admin” user fully update OS X.
** Keep in mind that there are some applications out there that will not run or support past certain version of an OS X. If this does not apply then update to latest OS X version release.
With your “admin” user install all needed applications that will be needed all check for any updates for those applications.
From the “Accounts” panel create a new user. (For this document I will name create a users named “default”)
Enable “Root” user:
Snow Leopard 10.6 - Go to the Accounts Panel -> Login Options -> Network Account Server & select “Join”. Next select “Open Directory Utility”.
Once you have the “Directory Open” select ”Edit” from menu bar & select “Enable Root User” and give it a password.
If you chose to the direct method to open “Directory Utility” is /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory\ Utility.app
Leopard 10.5 - Go to /Applications/Utilities/Directory\ Utility.app
Once you have the “Directory Open” select ”Edit” from menu bar & select “Enable Root User” and give it a password.
Logout & then login into “default” user
Organize the Dock with all your needed applications
Adjust settings & preferences for:
Dock
Desktop/Finder/MenuBar
System Preferences (Run through each option in System Preferences & adjust as needed)
Run “ALL” applications that will be used on the system. Once each application has launched open it’s preferences and adjust as needed. (In most cases, it’s recommended to turn “off” “check for updates” if you do not want users getting prompted each time an application releases an update)
If there is more than one browser installed you should set which browser should be default. At this point you can also select a default “Save Folder” if you want users to select where download will appear.
In case you have downloaded & visited website during your profile creation, clear the cache, history & cookies in each browser.
Once you feel that your “default” user is prepared the way you want others to see it proceed to the final step, but only when you are finished working on the user.
Clear the “default” user caches. Go to /Users/”default”/Library/Caches & simply delete/trash all the files in this folder.
**Clearing the user caches is not fully needed but if you want to slim down the default user profile/template for a faster login, then removing these files will speed things up. Applications will just create the needed files here when they are needed.
Next, open “Keychain Access” /Applications/Utilities/Keychain\ Access.app
Select “Login” from the “Keychains” area then select the “File” menu and chose “Delete Keychain login”.
Now restart the computer and login as root.
We now just need to copy the newly created profile/template and replace the system default profile.
Open Terminal & run the following commands:
Backup current system profile (in case something happens you can restore this folder)
Right click and select “Compress English.lproj”
sudo rm -rf /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/*
(Removes contents from English.lproj folder)
sudo cp -R /Users/”default”/* /System/Library/User\ Template/English.lproj/*
(Copies your newly created “default” user profile/template) *May take a minute if profile is big
You have now created a default profile that will load up each time a new user logs in.
Now restart & login as your “admin” user and run “Repair Disk Permissions” in “Disk Utility”
If you wish to bind the computer to Active Directory continue to Step 2.
Step 2 (Bind to AD / Active Directory ** OS X Snow Leopard & Leopard)
Snow Leopard 10.6 - Go to the Accounts Panel -> Login Options -> Network Account Server & select “Join”. Next select “Open Directory Utility”.
If you chose to the direct method to open “Directory Utility” is /System/Library/CoreServices/Directory\ Utility.app
Leopard 10.5 - Go to /Applications/Utilities/Directory\ Utility.app
Once Directory Utility is open double click “Active Directory”
Once open enter in the needed info for your Domain, name computer & select what options you want or don’t want.
Now simply select “Bind” and enter in a user/password that has Network Administrator access to your domain.
You are now bound to your domain.
It’s also a good idea to change the login window to “Name & Password” if there will be many users logging into the computer.
Now restart your computer.
Once restarted & sitting at your login window, the best way to know you are connect to your domain is to click 5 Times where you see your computer name. You should see a colored dot, which will give you your status. You want to see Green.
Now try logging in using an AD/Active Directory account.

See:
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/how-run-firefox-when-your-profile-missing-or-inacc
This is usually caused by a problem with the profiles.ini file and the profile marked as Default=1 in this file is no longer present on the hard drive.
*Windows: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\<br>C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
*Linux: ~/.mozilla/firefox/
*Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/
In Mac OS X v10.7 and later, the ~/Library folder is a hidden folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders#Mac_OS_X
You can use one of these to make Firefox create/use a new default profile:
*Delete the profiles.ini file to force Firefox to create a new default profile
*Use the Profile Manager to create a new profile
*Use "Choose Folder" when you create a new profile to select the location of a lost profile and recover this profile

How can I set the default home page for all new users in Firefox 4

I'm trying to deploy FF 4.0rc1 in a corporate environment but I can't find a way to set the default home page or any other settings for that matter.
Is there a way to set the default home page for all new users and lock it so that the users can't change home page?
Best regards
Jonas

In Firefox 4 the template folder for new profiles (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\defaults\profile\
) doesn't exist. You can create that \defaults\profile\ folder and place a file user.js in it with the prefs that you want to initialize.
See:
*http://www-archive.mozilla.org/catalog/end-user/customizing/briefprefs.html
You can also use a mozilla.cfg file to set the default value for prefs.<br />
See: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
defaultPref(); // set new default value
pref(); // set pref, but allow changes
lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

Creating Default Profiles

Hi,
I'm having issues with creating a Default Profile with OSX 10.7 (Lion)...
I'm setting up an image for both a 2010 iMac (OS 10.6.8) and a brand new 2011 iMac (OS 10.7.1).
I 've been building them together with the same software, etc... and have created a local account to build the profile from, running each bit of software, registering them, and making customizations...
With the 10.6 the default profile worked by copying my files to “/System/Library/User Template/English.lproj” but with 10.7 I'm still getting the Apple Galaxy background, and I've lost all my software customizations when logging on as a new user...
I would downgrade to Snow Leopard but this isn't possible as this is a brand new iMac, drivers, etc....
Can anyone help here?
Chris.

Hi,
That is the disk cache of Firefox, where contents of loaded pages are kept for faster retrieval and it also helps to conserve bandwidth. To disable this: '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''Network''', check (tick) '''Override automatic cache management ''' and put the value at zero.

Page Template Body 1,2,3 position to the left of the page

Hi,
How can make a page template as default.
The situation is i have a theme which has a default page template set so that the "Page Template Body 2' comes to the the center(let me this be theme - theme 1). But there is another theme which gives me the option to
set the 'page template body 2' to the left of the page(theme 2). I thought of switching the theme but my other setting for report will go for toss. So i have copied default template for page from theme 2 to theme 1, but i
cant make the page template as default. How can make the page template to default ?
Is there any other way of doing this so the 'Page Template Body 2' appears to the left.
Thank you,
rakesh

In Application Builder:
- Edit the Application
- Click on Shared Components
- Click on Themes
> The current theme will have an 'asterisk (*)' by the theme name
- DO NOT CLICK ON THE THEME
- On the far right column will be a panel called Tasks
- Click Edit Theme
- Click on your current theme
You'll see a drop down list that allows you to pick the default page template.
Hope that helps.

How to set a page template for news detailed view?

Is there a way to set a page template for the detailed view of the news module?
I have a page template setup and added the {module_announcement,,,,,} to the page. When the news item is clicked it always opens the default template - is this how it is designed to work or is there a way I can specify it to use a different page template?
Dave.
