Design Template issue

Hello,
If I make a new project and proceed to apply the Design template that I have made, ALL Text Captions that are there and yet to be made will inherit the design from the Design Template. I'm pretty sure that I've nailed down what a Design Template was supposed to do, but here's where my issue starts.
I would like to have a different "Template" to use while recording. I for example use transparent text captions in the project, but would like to use different text captions while recording (Using the auto record, expecting the auto record to do it).
So for example:
While recording: "Adobe Blue" Text Captions
For the rest of the project: Transparent Text Captions.
I have a rather large project that's currently using transparent text captions, but would like to have Adobe Blue for the auto-recording. Setting the template would go berserk on all my current transparent text captions.
I could select the slides and then apply the template to those slides only. But I am hoping Captivate can distinguish user-made Text Captions and those used while auto-recording. This is probably not the case, but at least I've asked =)

Hi there
I believe you are overthinking it.
A Design Template is simply applied to an existing project to influence changes. Both Design Templates and Project Templates have no influence over the captions used when you record.
To configure the captions used when you record, you click Edit > Preferences... > Recording node > Defaults node.
Cheers... Rick

I am having trouble getting buttons to work in Captivate 8 trial version using a responsive design template. Any suggestions?

I have a trial version of Captivate 8 that I am evaluating to determine if it will be an option to replace a software we currently use. However I am having a lot of trouble getting even the simplest of tasks to work using the responsive design template. To troubleshoot I created 2 projects 1st a completed empty project using responsive design and a 2nd blank project using the blank project template. I created an audio file that the button, when pressed, will play. I can place a button on first slide of both projects, rollovers work fine, but in the responsive design project buttons will not work to trigger the action. Is this a known issue in the trial version?

A Blank project is a normal cptx-project, not a responsive project, it has no breakpoint views like a responsive project, it is meant to have always the same layout but on publishing you can choose to have it 'rescale' automatically. A responsive project allows you to create slightly different layouts for the three breakpoint views: Primary (desktop/laptop/landscape on tablets), Tablet (portrait on tablet) and mobile (phones, where the browser has much lower resolution than the real phone resolution). The 'look' of a project, whether it is responsive or not will be defined by the Theme that is the default theme at that moment, and with the default theme colors that you have at that moment. I think in newbie mode the default theme is White (not sure, never used newbie mode). If you choose another theme as default theme, a blank project and a responsive project will open with that theme applied to it. All themes coming with CP8 are responsive, but you can use them also for normal projects, in that case you only use the object styles for Primary view. Each object style normally has 3 versions, for the 3 breakpoint views.

Interior Design Template slider problem

Can anyone help me with the Interior design template? I edited the title tag and suddenly the sliders decided to stack on top of each other. I figured that the home page template must be screwed up so I created a new site with the template. I copied and pasted the Home page code into a new Page Template on the site and changed the module numbers. But the sliders are still stacking on each other.
Here's the page: feetforlife.com/index2.html
I need help FAST if anyone can help.

Problem solved thanks to Curtiss Prickett. See his message to me below to solve the issue. Thanks Curtiss!!
What I think may have happened is that the BC default editor may have stripped a critical piece of data from the UL that is required for the orbit slider. The only way to fix it would be to upload the fixed template file and upload via Dreamweaver, or you can open the "Develop" tab and open the "Home Page.html" file in the template folder. The slider code should look like the code below paying attention to the "data-orbit" on the UL:
<div class="slideshow-wrapper touch" id="hero">
    <div class="preloader"></div>
    <ul data-orbit>
        {module_webapps,....,a} <---- (your module number)
    </ul>
</div>
Hope this works for you. - Curtiss

How do I apply a Design Template to an existing project, and...?

I made some customizations to one of the design templates and saved those changes. I want to have these changes applied to existing and new projects, how do I get this to happen? Also when making the customizations to the design template, I seem to be able to only make certain changes. For Example: The first item is a TEB - I am able to change the success and failure caption boxes but only in regard to style, I can't seem to change the text. It reads "Type success text here." I want that to always read "Correct!" so how can I implement this without have to change the text for each item in the project?
Thanks for your time!

After you create your design template, you apply it by opening a project that you wish to apply the template to. Then you click the Window menu and choose Design Template.
This opens the Design Template panel. From there you choose a template to apply to your project.

Indeed you may only apply the visual characteristics. The text is influenced by editing the object later in the project.

I don't think you will be able to influence this. Not with a Design Template. What you can do is create a Project Template with the captions pre-configured. Then you could copy and paste as needed to accomplish it.
You should add your voice to others that wish to see more flexibility with configuring defaults such as what you are asking. You do this via the Wish Form.

Email Alert Template Issue - List Alerts (Alert Me) emails not using customized XML alert template

We have recently customized the XML alerts template (AlertTemplates.xml) for our site collection in SharePoint 2010 to exclude specific fields in the email when users who have subscribed using the "Alert Me" feature. We have renamed the
custom alerts XML file and loaded the custom template in the following directory (%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML) and restarted IIS. Once users subscribe to the alerts using the list "alert me"
function they received the customized email as intended.
We needed to auto-subscribe users to the email alerts so what we did was use a powershell script to add users to the alert subscriptions using the script shown below:
Import-Csv D:\Temp\filename.csv | ForEach-Object{
$webUrl=$_.WebUrl
$listTitle=$_.List
$alertTitle=$_.AlertTitle
$subscribedUser=$_.SubscribedUser
$alertType=$_.AlertType
$deliveryChannel=$_.DeliveryChannel
$eventType=$_.EventType
$frequency=$_.Frequency
$oldAlertID=$_.ID
$web=Get-SPWeb $webUrl
$testAlert = $web.Alerts | WHERE { $_.ID -eq $oldAlertID }
IF ($testAlert) {
$web.Alerts.Delete([GUID]$oldAlertID)
Write-Host Old alert $oldAlertID deleted. -Foregroundcolor Cyan
$list=$web.Lists.TryGetList($listTitle)
$user = $web.EnsureUser($subscribedUser)
$newAlert = $user.Alerts.Add()
$newAlert.Title = $alertTitle
$newAlert.AlertType=[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertType]::$alertType
$newAlert.List = $list
$newAlert.DeliveryChannels = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertDeliveryChannels]::$deliveryChannel
$newAlert.EventType = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPEventType]::$eventType
$newAlert.AlertFrequency = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPAlertFrequency]::$frequency
if($frequency -ne "Immediate"){
$AlertTime=$_.AlertTime
$newAlert.AlertTime=$AlertTime
$newAlert.Update()
Write-Host Created $newAlert.Title for $subscribedUser . -Foregroundcolor Cyan
} ELSE {
Write-Host Alert $alertTitle for $subscribedUser already done. Moving on. -Foregroundcolor Magenta
When we ran the script and added the users and restarted the service, all users who were auto-subscribed via this method get the email without the customizations that were done in teh custom alert template. All users who manually subscribed on their
own to the list using the "Alert Me" function would get the customized email.
Does anyone know why users who manually subscribe to the alerts get the customized email, and users who were auto-subscribed using the powershell script do not get the customized email and get the standard generic email template?

Hi ,
According to your code, it create a new alert using SPUser.Alerts.Add() method. For this method, it will create a new alert based on the predefined alert template by default.
If you only assigned the custom alert template to the list, users who manually subscribe to the alerts get the customized email, but users who were auto-subscribed using the PowerShell script get the standard
generic email template.
For your issue, you can set the new alert ‘s alert template:

Insert a BSP Application in Web Application designer template (WAD)

Hello to all
I like to place a BSP Application in my Web Application designer template (WAD). Have someone a good idea how to display a BSP in a web item.
We use BW 7.0 .
Thanks a lot for any good idea.
Christian
Edited by: Christian Baumann on Nov 10, 2010 3:46 PM

Christian,
There are many ways you can do this ...
1. In Portal - you can have two iviews for the same and run both of them together ( there was something called client side eventing or something like that before - I am not sure if it still exists
2. In WAD - use frames - use one frame for the WAD template and the other for the BSP ( I have never tried it in WAD 7.0 but it works in 3.x where you can introduce frames
3. Possibly have the BSP as a link in the template so that it opens up separately ..?
4. Instead of embedding the BSP into your WAD - embed your WAD into the BSP ..? this is also possible since the output of the template is HTML - but then you will have a hard time getting the context menu , export to excel etc which are all taken for granted in WAD.

Design Template for a PDF

Hey guys
I need some help!
I need to design a MEDIA KIT for my business, and I need template for my PDF document. I am not very artistic when it comes to graphic design..so I need something to give my content some sex appeal!
Is there sometime of "template" I can upload into my acrobat project and use? Are these usually free? I have done some searching on the adobe site and on google, and cant come up with anything!!
Your help is greatly appreciated!

Hi!
Thanks for the reply!
Maybe I am looking for the wrong program...I usally hire a marketing company to do this type of work, but thought I would cut my costs and try this myself.
I am looking to create a media kit similar to the one attached in this message. I need a VERY simple design template that I can add images and text into. I am under the impression that I can use ACROBAT to create a PDF document (such as the media kit) and that maybe I can start with a template (the outer design of each page with headings etc)
If you open the attached media kit...can you tell what program (if not acrobat) I would need to create a similar document? Is this design made in Photoshop or something?
Thanks so much!!

Does IIS Reset stop/start or IIS Restart fix template issues? See photos.

I have been having major template issues over the past couple of weeks where several templates give me access denied. I have been in contact with Microsoft about the issue, but after 2 days and 5 hours on the phone, the issue still cannot be resolved.
I then tried to use old sites that had the templates and "Save Site as Template". The new template that was saved are stored in the Solutions Gallery (template is "activated").
I ran the create new site process and chose the new template that I saved.
The template looked like this last week,
Now the template looks like this today.
In between last week and this week, I did an SP2 installation to Project Server 2010/SharePoint 2010.
I also did an IIS Reset /stop and IIS reset/ start
I also went into the IIS Manager on the central administration server and clicked "Restart".
This is a very time sensitive issue, and want to know how I accidentally resolved the issue. It's very weird that any of these above would change the template, but somehow it did. I do not want to reset IIS if I do not have to. If anyone has any idea on
how this could have gotten resolved it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi TR,
Not sure if iisreset always fixes this issue.
Sorry for my misleading description, I thought that there was a possiable that some js/css files weren't loaded in the browser randomly for new site created based on the template, so I think maybe some js/css files customized
and referenced in the orginal site (or in new site) may need to be checked-in and published.
Now I think is it possible that the issue is related to js/css load sequence in browser? or is it browser compatible issue(maybe not based on iisreset)?
Or you may try add new site in trusted site in IE see if it helps.
Also check if browser F12 developer tool could provide some useful information.
Thanks

Parallax responsive design template needed

I would like to play around with parallax responsive design templates. I would like to find a simple template without all the bells and whistles that come with the major template house's examples of parallax responsive design. Can anyone direct me to examples of clean and simple parallax responsive templates?

While designing Responsive layout we have three css frameworks: Skeleton, Bootstrap and Foundation.
If we are creating CMS Responsive layout (where user can edit using Contribute), is there any way to decide which CSS framework is more preferable for Contribute?
Use whichever stylesheets best support your project goals.

Design Template to change ONLY text boxes

I am afraid of the Design Template option because all I need to do is globally change ALL the text in my project to be ARIAL 11.... while it seems that Design Template would do this, there are all these other captions, buttons, etc. on there and I want those left alone.
There seems to be no way to delete pages or features from this strange thing called Design Templates... does anybody know... if I apply this Design Template will all of my other buttons, boxes, headings, etc. change also?
What a horrible idea if it is so. Completely worthless for the person who has been give ONE design change only.

Because it DOESN'T WORK worth a crap, that's why.
"Apply to All" is the most overrated feature in this product, in my estimation. (Well, aside from Aggregator). It has hit or miss results, and when it by chance DOES work, it changes a bunch of other stuff too, such as header graphics deleted.
Wish it did work though, I am having to change each and every text box by hand.

Captions in Design Template

Hi,
I have a problem: I'm using a design template for creating my projects, but the captions that I have defined in my design template don't save in my project.
Could anybody help me, please?
Thanks.

Hi there
By saying "but the captions that I have defined in my design template don't save in my project" are you meaning to tell us that if you choose to record additional slides you aren't seeing that they are used?
If I've understood that correctly, it's because the captions used when recording aren't part of the template. Instead, they are part of your local Captivate preferences on the PC.

Design template, setting size & position for success caption etc

Hi
We have a Design template but it only seems to template certain elements of a Quiz slide (which is what our template is for).
I'd like to be able to set the size and position of:
Question
Review Area
Question number 1 of x
Success/Fail captions
Back, skip, clear, submit buttons etc
Can this be done?
Thanks
Anita

Hi Leslie
Thanks for taking the time to reply.
There's four in my team using CP4 so having a template is helpful to make sure everyone is using the same standards in our projects. We need consistency across the company and the template allows us to achieve this.
I've just been reading more from the help file and it appeas you can only make changes to the object itself. The Size and Position tab you see when you're in a project is missing when you go to change the properties in the Design Template.
One of my team created the template and found these limitations so I thought I'd see if anyone had come across the same "want" and how they might have resolved it.
I think in this case the answer is NO, it can't be done.
Cheers
Anita

Pre-designed templates?

I am new to Dreamweaver. I have designed sites in iWeb, but it won't give me access to the HTML in order to change colors on a pre-designed template. I downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver, but I can't figure out if it has any pre-designed templates for me to start with or not. If it does, would someone please tell me how to access them? Thank you! (I called support, but they said that they do not support the trial version.)

I'm looking for a program that will give me more versatility but won't require me to write all of the code from scratch.
DW writes the code for you.

Where are the InDesign CS 5 pre-designed templates?

Just bought CS 5 Design Premium - if it came with pre-designed templates I can not locate them. Can someone advise where they are located? Previous versions had them located under a "template" folder when you opened InDesign.

Take a look at what's on the exchange. You might find something there: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?s=5&from=1&o=desc&cat=225&l=-1&event=produ ctHome&exc=19

Architecture/design templates for SOA-BPM?

Dear All,
Can anybody point me towards architecture and design templates for SOA-BPM?
It can be platform-agnostic, say from general BPM standpoint; and/or customized to cover product-specific considerations e.g. SOA Suite 11g or OBPM 11g. A logically structured one covering both would be too ideal.
regards,
sibendu

You may find some useful stuff among the documents in the IT Strategies from Oracle library. Much of the content is vendor-neutral, and there are a number of reference architectures. The focus is on enterprise architecture, but SOA and BPM play a significant role. It's all free to registered OTN members.
