DW MX - Templates (I'm a newbee)

Here's an easy onr for the smart people (ladies and men alike)......I created an HTML file in DW MX and did a "save as...template" to my directory. Before I saved as a template the text / body looked "normal"--that is, how I want it. Once I did the save as template the body changed. BEFORE.....I had a table on the left side as an index table with links (this is a table I want on all my HTML pages) and the body with some text and ordered lists. AFTER....the table was gone and the content of the table--that is the text of the table--was "moved" above the table as though I simply typed the text.
What's the deal???
Thanks!!

You did not define your items as editable regions, hence they were stripped as being non-templatetizable content.

  • .rtf template and bi server repository failure (newbee tutorial)

    I've installed BISE1 on Windows Server 2003 and followed the tutorial. I successfully fulfilled all the excercises except the last one: the creation of Oracle BI Publisher Report from BI Server Metadata. I have created .rtf template in Word. The preview of the template is working showing data. But when I connect to BI Publisher and open From BI Server report and click View I get the message: "The report cannot be rendered because of an error, please contact the administrator." And as the error detail: String index out of range: -1
    What could be the reason of that problem? Or where to search for the solution of that problem?
    Any help for newbee will be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I am having the exact same issue.
    I've created a .rtf template using Oracle BI Publisher Desktop. I insert a very simple table and a very simple Chart (a bar graph) just to test it out. The table and the chart wwere showing correct data in the rtf and the pdf when I preview it on the BI server located on my local machine, and when I click on validate template in word, no errors were found. However when I run the pdf in the client BI Publisher Server, the charts doesn't show up in the pdf output while the other contents (headers, tables) are displayed correctly. If I select the html output in the client BI Publisher server, it gives the same error mention above: The report cannot be rendered because of an error, please contact the administrator." And as the error detail: String index out of range: -1
    What security configurations do I have to check? If anyone can give a more detail explanation on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

  • Templates look different in FCE HD than in LT

    I'm starting to use templates in LT in a project I'm working on to jazz it up a little.
    I use 2 LT stock templates, modify the the background colors, adjust some font sizes, add a drop shadow here & there, do a little extrusion on some of the LT fonts, and it looks great when I save and render it in LT.
    I play back the LT render file in LT and it looks just like I want it.
    After I import the render file into FCE HD (3.0), place it on the time line, render it, and then finally get to see what it looks like, some of the font colors are wrong and there appears to be some aliasing happening on the fonts themselves making the whole thing look second rate - not sharp and crisp like it was in LT.
    Is it a no no to extrude fonts?
    I also get aliasing on the stock non-animated fonts when I change their color. In one case from black to a dark green . In this case I also put a .5 px stroke around the font to help with contrast against the background.
    Could the .5 px stroke be aliasing?
    The dark green also comnes out looking grungy and frazzeled.
    Any help would be appreciated. This has happend in several templates now.

    I have never tried importing the .ifr file from LT because I want to see what it looks like before it goes to FCE.< </div>
    You get used to estimating timing and anticipating your results with experience.
    Tom said that basically it doesn't play well in the time line because it gets compressed by a factor of 5 when it goes to DV AND that even though I'm using a 19" Apple Studio Display, that the display is not showing it like it would play from a DVD to a TV. < </div>
    Tom Wolsky knows all this stuff inside and out.
    And interlacing gets in the way or something like that, and yeah I'm so newbee my wings are still tired just getting to this hive.< </div>
    We were all new at this at one time or another. Welcome tot he family.
    But this brings up another question. Since exporting the sequence to a QT self-contained movie and burning it on a DVD means that it gets even further compressed into mpeg, how is that the LT scenes actually display much better on a TV (which is way larger) than in the canvas? Is that where the interlacing thing comes in? < </div>
    Umm, no.
    I have never really understood why video has 2 images in one frame when film gets buy just fine with one. Can you point me in the right direction to learn about that?< </div>
    Different universes of time. But when film gets transferred to vidoe, those single frames get interlaced and interleaved with a process known as 3-2 Pulldown. That will give you a headache because there are many different types of pulldown.
    Anyhow, why buy a video monitor if it's all going to sort itself out in the bake and shake process going to DVD? < </div>
    That's a stylistic question you will answer for yourself in a few months.
    And if one really should have a "video monitor" are there any decent ones that aren't megabucks? My understanding is that it's going to look different on the TV any how, correct? < </div>
    It's not that easy, TV and video are different, too.
    So does this mean that when we create in LiveType, we are creating a NON-Interlaced image that looks so sharp & clear on the non-interalced computer screen? And that the interlacing gets put in during the rendering process in FCE? And that interlacing makes the LiveTyp image look like it's got ants in its pants (fuzzy)on the computer screen? < </div>
    There's an option in your prject settings to use NONE, LOWER or UPPER fileds for your movie. Set it to LOWER. If you use NONE< you will get a progressive render.
    <div class="jive-quote">Do I have it or do I have to go back to school?< </div>
    It might help but we do that every day around here. Don't sweat the small stuff but, now that you have some fundamental grounding in video basics, you could benefit dramatically from reading the LT manual and doing the tutorials one more time. They'll make some sense this time around.

  • And/or if statement in rtf templates.

    Hi all,
    I'm using XML Publisher 4.5.
    I have created a word template file (rtf) for my reports. I need to be able to show some content in the template file by using and and/or if statement.
    fx. <?if:doc_type='STANDARD'?> OR <?if:doc_type='DEFAULT'?>
    How can I do this?
    In advance thank you.
    Best regards
    Kenneth

    Hi D,
    Thank you for your answer.
    I have seriously thought about that solution; but I don't think it's a smart way to do it.
    If i do it like that, i need to copy the whole table and paste it inside the if statements.
    I have two xml elements that I need to make the decisions on. POH_PO_TYPE & CP_RELEASE_NUM.
    POH_PO_TYPE can be: STANDARD, RELEASE or BLANKET.
    CP_RELEASE_NUM can be: '' or N
    If POH_PO_TYPE is RELEASE AND CP_RELEASE_NUM is not ''
    OR POH_PO_TYPE is STANDARD
    OR POH_PO_TYPE is BLANKET AND CP_RELEASE_NUM is ''
    THEN show table (which contains the whole PO).
    It shall show the content of the PO in any of these cases.

  • How to round numbers in RTF templates?

    Hello!
    I'm using BI Publisher for Word (Oracle BI Publisher Builder for Word 10.1.3.4.1) to build a template to my BI Publisher report and I want to calculate this:
    avg(X)/(avg(Y)-avg(Z)/0.9)
    The result should be rounded to 3 places.
    I tried:
    <?(sum(X) div count(X)) div ((sum(Y) div count(Y)) - (sum(Z) div count(Z)) div 0.9)?>
    and I obtained the expected result.
    But, when I try to round in this way:
    <?xdofx:round((sum(X) div count(X)) div ((sum(Y) div count(Y))-(sum(Z) div count(Z)) div 0.9),3)?>
    I obtain 0 when is expected other value.
    Can someone help me?

    Hi ,

  • Relative path for images in RTF templates

    Hi everybody!
    When I insert an image in a RTF template, I put its path into the web dialog, in order to see correctly the picture when I open the report from the xmlp server, in this way: url:{"http://servername/analytics/res/Images/image.bmp"}
    How can I make this path relative, in order to see the images even if the server name changes?
    Thanks so!

    Hi Tim,
    I am using BIP 10.1.3.3.2. I am able to access system variable CURRENT_SERVER URL.
    Steps:
    <?param@begin:CURRENT_SERVER_URL?>
    <xsl:value-of select="$ CURRENT_SERVER_URL"/>
    CURRENT_SERVER_URL is getting printed in BI Publisher. Value displayed is http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/xmlpserver.
    Now we are importing xsl into RTF template. File aaa.xsl is stored at [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app]
    We have hardcoded the path for XSL in RTF. The path is <?import: http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/aaa.xsl?>
    As we want to set dynamic path we changed hardcoded xsl path to <?import: {$CURRENT_SERVER_URL}/../aaa.xsl?> but it is not working. Sometimes BIP is taking local path of MyDocuments folder and sometimes Desktop path. If I put that XSL file in MyDocuments folder or Desktop, it is working fine. But ideally it should refer [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app] path...

  • Help with math / calculations in RTF templates

    Greetings,
    I know that there are math capabilities in the templates... I've seen the code samples in the Core Components guide.
    What this doesn't tell you is WHERE these things would go in a template. And... that... is my question.
    We are just starting to use BIP in conjunction with JDE EnterpriseOne (8.12, tool set 8.97.12). For our first attempt we're creating our template over a new report.
    I have a template where I sum two different repeating values (through the normal BI Properties) and place these values in two separate cells in a table. I want to sum the two of these together for a "grand" total.
    I've seen the "examples" but they really aren't very helpful. The xsfo, etc. for doing addition is fine, but WHAT are the values to add and WHERE does the code go?
    If anyone has done something like this or has experience using the embedded code I would appreciate hearing from you.
    Thanks in advance

    I see what you are saying about the spaces... but it made no difference... still got the error.
    The XML file is too large and convoluted to be pasted here.
    With reqards to the following snippet:
    COLA = <?sum(current-group()/COLA)?>
    COLB = <?sum(current-group()/COLB)?>
    Summ== <?sum(current-group()/COLA) + sum(current-group()/COLB)?>
    Where does THIS code go?

  • Grouping and Decimal characters in rtf templates.

    Hi guys and girls,
    I’m really struggling with a problem here regarding the decimal characters for the prices in my output.
    I'm using XML Publisher 5.6.3.
    My goal is to control the grouping and decimal character from my template.
    The numbers in the XML data file can either be 10.000,00 or 10,000.00. The format is handled by the users nls_numeric_characters profile option.
    The output of the template shall be based on the locale and not the data generated by Oracle Reports. For example: Reports to US customers shall show the numbers in the following format 10,000.00. Reports to our European customers shall show the numbers in this format 10.000,00.
    How can I achieve this in my templates? Can it be achieved at all?
    Thank you in advance.

    Edited by: Kenneth_ on May 19, 2009 1:30 AM

    Hi,
    Thank you for your reply.
    The problem is that the report is generating the output based on the users profile option nls_numeric_characters.
    I have tried to override the users profile option in the before report trigger without any luck. I can alter selects so the query gets the numbers in the right format but then I would have to go through all queryes and reports which seem a bit wrong? Especially for the standard Oracle reports.

  • Resetting Header and Footer in RTF templates

    Hi,
    I developed an RTF template (template 1). This template contains start:body and end body for printing the header and footer in all pages. After printing this template then i have to call another template(template 2) from this. I called the template (template 2) using call statement. But the probelm is that the header and footer of template1 is printed in the output of template2 .
    I dont want to print this header and footer for template 2. Can anyone please suggest me in doing this. I placed start:body and end body in the second template with the assumption that 1st template's header and footer will be overwritten. But if i preview then am getting the error

    Please sugget.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Do you have two templates (template1 & template2) that you want to display in the same document where the pages for template1 has one set of header and footers; and template2 has another set of header and footer?
    If that is the case you can simply create a new section in your rtf template so you have section1 and section2.
    In the body of section1 you call template1 and template2 in the body of section2.
    You can then have different header and footers for the two templates in the same document.

  • Template Builder (XML Publisher Report) for Open Office

    Hi,
    Do any body has any idea, if can have template builder for Open Office also, My company has un installed MS Office from my machine, and they dont have license now.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Nidhi Gupta

    Hi All,
    I think Oracle can provide a BI Publisher Software for the Open Office, since the licencing cost for MS Office is very high.
    "OpenOffice Writer" is a open source alternative to MS Word and can be used on Linux. If I am using Linux OS and have to work on BI Publisher templates then certainly I will have to install Windows or use WINE ( I donno how it works but heard of it)
    Other Oracle tools such as SQL Developer, etc are platform independent.. then why only BI Publisher is limited for windows/MS Office.
    Tim,
    Can you please answer..
    I think it should integrate with OpenOffice too!!
