DW template paths

Hello,
I want to put some javascript into my dreamweaver template to preload images, using this script:
<script type="text/javascript">
pic1= new Image(100,25);
pic1.src="../img/navbarh.gif";
</script>
With most things in templates, such as images, when the template creates a page it rewrites the path to the image so that the page created from the template points to the correct place. Ie. in the template the path will be /img/navbarh.gif instead of ..img/.
The problem is that when I have it inside javascript with the above code it doesn't rewrite the path. Is there a way to make this happen?
Thanks.

No, Dreamweaver won't rewrite the path in JavaScript.
Why not use a site-root-relative link?
<script type="text/javascript">
pic1= new Image(100,25);
pic1.src="/img/navbarh.gif";
</script>

Document-relative Template paths in templated files?

Is it possible to make Dreamweaver use document-relative
paths to parent Templates rather than root-relative? My site
definition is setup so such that the local folder is the root of
the web site. However, on the server the site is actually in a sub
folder, so the real web root is not the same as this web sites
root. So, something like this:
Local root folder = C:\...\Project Name\www2\
(Local templates folder = C:\...\Project
Name\www2\Templates\)
HTTP Address =
http://www.mysite.com/clients/client-site/
(Remote templates folder =
http://www.mysite.com/clients/client-site/Templates/)
The end user will be using Contribute to manage the content
on this site, so I'm using Templates to control some aspects of the
site. My problen is that the path back to the Template is being
written as a root-relative link:
InstanceBegin template="/Templates/navigation-sub.dwt.php"
When I then connect to the site using Contribute and try to
edit a page, I get an error saying that it can't find the template
(which is true because the template is actually in
"/clients/client-site/Templates/navigation-sub.dwt.php" and not
"/Templates/navigation-sub.dwt.php"). I have the Links Relative to
Document option checked in my site definition, but that appears to
only apply to regular links and not paths to Template files.
Murray had mentioned some technotes that addressed this, and
I think I found the ones he was thinking of, but they seemed to
only address regular links and it wasn't clear if the Template
paths were affected by the solution (which was to set the Links
Relative to Document option which I mentioned above).
So is it possible to tell DW to use document relative paths
to its template files? I know you're thinking "Why not just create
the local folder with the client and client-name folders," but this
wouldn't work as the site will eventually be moved to the clients
own website where the site files really will be in the site root.
This is the whole reason for using document relative files in the
first place. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, apparently I'm not explaining myself enough here because
you guys keep giving me the same answer to something that I've
already said isn't a viable solution. Let me explain in greater
detail why just updating the local folder structure won't work.
Let's assume that I did do what you suggest. My local folder
could technically stay the same but I'd add two additional
directory levels ('clients' and 'client-site') to match the site
structure on my testing server. I then move all of the existing
files into the lower 'client-site' directory *except* for the
Templates folder because DW likes that to be at the "root" of the
"site". So now assume my local site looks something like this:
C:\...\Project Name\www2\ (DW would consider this the "root"
of the site)
.....clients\
..........client-site\ (i'll refer to this as the client root
for simplicity sake)
...............articles\
....................doc_a.html
...............images\
....................img_a.jpg
...............index.html
.....Templates\
..........client-template.dwt
If DW is writing the Paths back to the Template file using
site-relative paths then file index.html in the client root (i.e.
/clients/client-site/) would have the path back to template
client-template.dwt written as follows:
InstanceBegin template="/Templates/client-template.dwt"
Also assume that img_a.jpg is the client logo that will be
used on all of the pages and so it is in a protected part of the
template. The document-relative path from the template
client-template.dwt to the image would be:
<img src="../clients/client-site/images/img_a.jpg">
Of course since my site is defined to use document-relative
links then this path would resolve to just "../images/img_a.jpg"
for index.html.
OK, so far so good. I upload all of this to my testing
server, give my client a connection key for Contribute and let them
test away. They love it (naturally) and want to move everything to
production. This is where your suggested solution falls apart.
In order for the site to continue to work as-is I would have
to copy the entire directory tree (/client/client-site/etc) to the
clients web site, so what should be www.client-site.com/index.html
becomes www.client-site.com/clients/client-name/index.html. I also
have to copy over the Templates folder, stripping out any other
Templates that might be in there (my own site template for
example). Not only is this cumbersome, but the client hates the
fact that there are all these subdirectories in their URL (as
finicky as clients are) and they think it is unprofessional. My
whole purpose for developing using document relative links is so
that no matter where I plop the site, it will work as intended.
OK, the first fox for this that comes to mind is to take just
the site files (so everything under /clients/client-name/) and plop
that into the root folder on production. All of the existing files
should work fine since they use document-specific links. However,
the client still needs to use Contribute to edit these documents so
I have to copy over the Template folder. I can put that into the
root since all of the paths back to the template are root-relative,
right? Wrong - because all of the links in the template still point
to the files as if they were in '/clients/client-name/', which they
no longer are. So any new files based on the template will contain
broken links, and any updates to the existing files might also
result in broken links.
So then I need to keep two versions of the site? And if I
make a change to the template on the testing site, I then have to
reconcile the changes to the production version? Way too much. And
all of this would be irrelevant if I could just use
document-specific links back to my templates.
Does it make sense now why updating the site structure isn't
as optimal of a solution as you are making it out to be.

Crystal reports templates path

Hi,
I have a question for Crystal reports template path with SAP Business One 2007A. Where can I find the report template path setting? So I can find those templates.
I worked on B1 2005 before, need some help for Crystal reports.
Thanks a lot.
Christina

Hi, Gordon
Nice to know you here. hehe, my "BenJia".
Yes, I found those templates files in the share folder. But I thought I can find the setting screen in B1, just like other path setting "Attachments Folder".
And, 2nd question, then. Can I open design window for Crystal reports from somewhere in B1? Or the only way to do it is to open Crystal reports software, then edit templates?
Thanks Gordon.
Regards
Christina

Labview- Excel template path at run time(to build .exe file)

I am new to labview and I have one doubt in it. I have one main.vi file where I use local drive path to invoke one excel template, Now I have to convert this .vi file in to .exe file. So now I cannot give the local drive path to invoke the template because the client will not have the same path as mine. So what I did is I created one project. Under this project I created one virtual folder which contains the excel templates. My doubt is how to give path for the excel-template in main.vi file. Please let me know if you guys know. thanks in advance.
Thanks & Regards
saamy

Hi again.
Here is a strategy I always use when I create a project:
Create a folder named for example "My project". In this folder I create new folders called "Bin", "Doc", "Data" and "Img". I put my main Vi in the "Bin" folder and for example the excel template in the "Data" folder.
I then create a project in LabVIEW and I add the "My project" folder into this project as an autopopulating folder. This means if I add a file in i.e the "Bin" folder it will automatically come up in the project.
When I create my Main.vi and want to use the excel template, I simply add a folder path constant to the "Data" folder on my computer. I don't care about the LabVIEW project file.
After I'm done programming and I'm happy with the result I need to prepare the VI for being converted into an .exe file. This means I have to remove all the path constants and add the application folder node mentioned above. I have to know what folder hiearchy I want the installer to create. In this example we can use the folder where the .exe file will be and then a sub-folder named "Data" where the excel template will be. The path will be like "the_folder_where_the_exe_is\data\exceltemplate.xlsx."
When I create the .exe file I can add which files that will always be included. Here I add the Data folder containing the excel template. After that I create an installer where I add the folder where the exe file is, which I just created.

Template Path Issue ...

I sent a DW template -- a .dwt file -- to a colleague for them to use to create some pages with their copy of DW. But the files they're creating are not reflecting the path structure of the template. Instead they are prefaced by "file:/// .." etc. What are they (or we) doing wrong?
Thanks.

If the site folder structure and file placements on the two systems are exactly the same, then you should not be getting this error. Are they?
Also if on a Mac, what are the two hard drive names? And are there any folders in the path to the local root that contain unusual characters like apostrophes or ampersands?

Hello,
I think at the moment you are passing the xdp template source as url using the WDURLGenerator.
Instead you should send it as a stream using the appropriate pdfdocument api like this:
String templateUrl = null;
ByteArrayOutputStream templateStream = null;
templateUrl = WDURLGenerator.getPublicResourcePath(otherPart, "My_InteractiveForm.xdp");
InputStream template = new FileInputStream(templateUrl);
ByteArrayOutputStream buffer = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
              int nRead;
              byte[] data = new byte[16384];
              while ((nRead = template.read(data, 0, data.length)) != -1) {
                        buffer.write(data, 0, nRead);
              buffer.flush();
              templateStream = buffer;
IWDPDFDocumentHandler pdfDocumentHandler = WDPDFDocumentFactory.getDocumentHandler();
IWDPDFDocumentCreationContext pdfDocumentCreationContext = pdfDocumentHandler.getDocumentCreationContext();
pdfDocumentCreationContext.setTemplate(templateStream);
Hope this helps...

Template path

I upgraded to Dreamweaver 8 this past year, only to run into
an issue when working with templates that i wasn't having in
previous versions. Have been a web designer for 9 years, so
needless to say, frustrating at best! When i create text links on
the bottom of the site on the template, and only put reference to
the site file... i.e. ../sitemap.htm instead of
http://www.mysite.com/sitemap.htm
dreamweaver seems to create a path Template/sitemap.htm on the
actual site pages. THis is happening as well with my navigation,
which is an external js file. My only work around is to put the
full path, which becomes a pain when i'm creating a site on a test
area. I have to re-do the liinks on the final launched version.
Anyone running into this?

> and only put
> reference to the site file... i.e. ../sitemap.htm
Are you typing in what you think the path should be, or are
you clicking the
folder icon and browsing to the actual file?
Paths in templates should work IN the template- they should
be the relative
path from where the template is to where the desired file is.
Then when you
create a child file of the template, dreamweaver will adjust
and manage the
path for where the child page is saved to.
Don't make the path in the template what you want it to be in
the child
files- just have it be correct IN the template and dw will
manage it for
you.

MS Office Report Express VI - How to programatically use multiple Path to Template

Good Afternoon,
I'm testing MS Office Report Express VI and i need to know if it's possible (and how) to programaticaly change "Path to Template" field? I need that in order to change it through front panel.
Best Regards.

Hello aj2011,
Thank you for your post on the National Instruments forum.
a solution for what you want to do is:
when you placed your express VI on the diagram, perform a right click on the express VI. From the dialog box choose "open front panel". Choose "convert". then when the front panel of the express VI is open, modify the connector of the VI and put the template path as an input.
This way you can use the express VI input path template programmatically.
Is the solution you were looking for?

Office 2013 templates Group Policies

There is a GPO related to Enterprise template locations in Office 2013 that is not clear at all and poorly documented. The path to the GPO is:
MS Office 2013 > Shared Paths > Enterprise templates path
What is the purpose and how this path can be used? What is the difference between using this GPO and the following GPOs that I have been using in the past:
MS Office 2013 > Shared Paths > Workgroup templates path
MS Office 2013 > Shared Paths > User templates path
PowerPoint 2013/Word 2013 > Miscellaneous > Personal templates path for PPT or Word
Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Petrika,
See the following;
This policy will set the following regkey:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General]
"CorporateTemplates" (REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ)
You can however also deploy this setting as normal user preference (not as policy), e.g.:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General]
"CorporateTemplates"="\\server\share\corporatethemes"
We are using "Templates" for the regkey and policy description which is somewhat misleading. What we really mean is "Corporate Design Theme Templates" for PowerPoint.
A "Theme" basically contains the following design elements:
• Font
• Colors
• Styles/Effects
Office contains several different design themes out of the box but it is possible to define your own design themes for personal use or for corporate use. This policy targets the corporate use of such themes.
Personal themes are typically stored in the user profile under "%LocalAppData%\Microsoft\Templates\Document Themes".
You can store corporate templates somewhere on a file share and deploy a policy so PowerPoint will always enumerate these themes when displaying them in the themes gallery.
In order to visualize this feature please just try the following:
1. Open the "Design" Tab in PowerPoint and expand the Themes Gallery:
2. You will see a list of Themes and where they are coming from. Currently we see the design in this presentation, maybe custom themes if you once saved your own theme(s) and the Office native themes:
3. Now click on "Save Current Theme…" and save the current theme as "MyTestTheme" to a file share (e.g.
\\server\share\corporatethemes)
Now set a policy or simply set the following regkey in order to load corporate themes from this file share:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General]
"CorporateTemplates"="\\server\share\corporatethemes"
4. Reboot PowerPoint so this setting takes effect
5. Look into the used file share. It now contains a subfolder "Document Themes" with a thmx file (this is your theme definition) and three subfolders where settings for your design colors, fonts and effects are stored:
6. Now let's look again into PowerPoints's style gallery in the Design tab. This time you see one category more in the list of available themes: You see your corporate theme that you just saved in step 3.
7. Sometimes customers do not want the native themes to be displayed but only the corporate themes. This should make it more likely that users are using only corporate themes and not other themes when creating new presentations.
In this case you can set the following regkey or policy key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\PowerPoint\Options]
"ThemesGalleryShowCorporateOnly"=Dword:0x00000001
8. If you restart PowerPoint you now see only the default Office-Theme but all other pre-installed office themes are not listed any more
Ok, so bottom line is that you can design your own corporate themes in Office 2013. For PowerPoint (where these themes are mainly used and where corporate design guides are often used) you can specify a central file share where you store your own corporate
design themes. Users will get these themes listed in the design gallery if you are using the "Enterprise Templates" policy.

Hiding Workgroup Template folder in Office 2013

Hi,
It was suggested that this may be an appropriate forum for asking the following question
I have the following setup... In Group Policy (Computer Configuration) I copy the corporate Templates to the WorkGroup Templates folder on every PC (under Default\appData). We also have a personal templates folder (under %USERNAME%\appData).
The workgroup templates are available in both the workgroup and users personal templates folder.
When a user creates a new file in WORD or Excel they are presented with 2 templates folders. Is there anyway of hiding the Workgroup Templates folder and just showing the user their personal templates folder? (I want to keep the Workgroups templates
folder, I just do not want to display it in WORD)
Or should I just try to rename the templates folders so they can be distinguished from each other
Thanks

Hi,
As per the description, I understand that you've copied your corporate templates into the WorGroup Templates folder, and now you would like to hide this folder to users but keep the templates/folder. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
I have tested this on my own machine, to hide this folder to users, you'll need to clean the location for
Workgroup template in FILE>Options>Advanced>File Locations... button under
General section.
We are not able to clean this directly in Word, but we can do this by modifying the registry key or using GPO:
1) Clean the value of this registry key directly for each user:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General\SharedTemplates
2) Group policy for this is: User Configuration\Microsoft Office 2013\Shared paths\workgroup templates path
Hope it helps.

How do I get MS Word to look at Sharepoint for workgroup templates?

We have chosen to use Microsoft Sharepoint as our document management system. Using a document library to version control our MS Office document templates is easy enough. However, I cannot find a way to get MS Office 2007 to create new documents
using the templates recorded in Sharepoint. I can point Word to look at a standard network drive using:
Office Button > Word Options > Advanced > File Locations...
However, I cannot use an http(s) address for the 'Workgroup templates' path. I have tried to map a network address to the Sharepoint library, which works fine from Windows Explorer, but Word will not allow me to use this drive either (I assume because
the underlying address is still an Internet address.
In my opinion, it is neither logical, nor efficient, nor sensible for Word users to have to use IE to create new documents, just because the templates are under configuration management in Sharepoint.
It would be greatly appreciated if someone could tell me how to achieve this.

Thanks for all the replies. As far as I can gather, they all seem to indicate that SharePoint is not the right tool for my application. I was rather hoping that Micrsoft would have provided a more seamless integration between their Office and
Enterprise tools.
As a Quality Manager, I want to be able to update the templates used by the company emlpoyees and roll them out without directly affecting the employees who use them.
When creating a document, people will open MS Word and use File -> New. It is illogical and inefficient to ask them to create all new documents by opening their browser, logging in to SharePoint, navigating to the appropriate Templates folder and
creating their new documents from there, without being able preview and verify that they're using the appropriate template.
The alternative (to get everyone to make local copies of the Templates) immediately ensures that the document management system is broken as all new documents will be created from uncontrolled copies of the templates.
Neither scenario is good business practice.
My conclusion is that we should look into an alternative Document Management System, maybe something as simple as setting up access permissions on a shared drive.
Thanks again.
