EasyDMS: New handling of layouts and filters

Hi,
in the past we deployed standard layouts and filters in EasyDMS via registry keys. Now there's a new option to store it in the backend (several tables e.g. EDMS_LAYOUT, EDMS_FILTER, etc.).
However we've some troubles with these settings - example:
We've defined default settings in EDMS_PREFS table. As soon as a user creates his own layout or filter the new values override the default - even if he just wants to create a new layout also the filter is gone.
Does any body have some more details on this stuff? There are (almost) no OSS notes, there is no documentation, there's nothing mentioned in the release notes ...
Thx
Alex

Hi,
Please refer SAP Note 1405541 and see if this is helpful. If will be helpful if all the issues faced are listed in detail.

Search Bar and the new "Now Playing" layout

The search bar disappears after one time you try to search for something. This has been going on for at least a week with me now. Other people seem to have this problem, also.
Also, what's up with the new "Now Playing" layout? I loved it like it was previously. :/

Can't search now and it's ridiculously annoying. Not only that but no one from Spotify seems like they even care. No responses to any of the many complaints. What happened to caring about your customers? I can't even search for music on my music player that I pay for. No customer service number? Then at the very least be attentive to the only means of communication for your customers. Know what's worse than bad customer service? NO CUSTOMER SERVICE. REDICULOUS

Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting.

Modify news, web apps layouts for mobile site?

I am modifying an existing website to create a mobile version, placing my mobile pages in a /mobile subfolder. I am having an issue with the news and web apps, as I have already designated my templates and layouts for the full desktop version, and because my news and webapp items cannot be placed into my /mobile folder. So, now I need to display that information differently for mobile and cannot figure out how, since I am limited to a single List Layout and a single Detail Layout (for news. At least the web apps give me an Backup List Layout, which was helpful). How have others accomplished this type of thing??
An example: On my desktop version, I have announcements shown on the homepage as short blurbs (using the list view). My detail view I already have formatted for the full screen desktop version and does not work well for mobile screens. After many attempts at workarounds, I decided that I would simply show the complete announcement for mobile as a List Layout and not use a Detailed Layout at all so that I don't even have to bother with it. My thought was to code both my desktop and mobile list layouts in the List Layout of my Announcements module, and use css to show/ hide the appropriate one.
E.g.--
html in my List Layout:
<div id="standardnews">
<h3>{tag_subject} - {tag_eventfromdate}</h3>
<p>{tag_body, 140}</p>
</div>
<div id="mobilenews">
<h3>{tag_subject_nolink} - {tag_eventfromdate}</h3>
<p>{tag_body}</p>
</div>
on my desktop css stylesheet:
div#standardnews { display:block; }
div#mobilenews { display:none; }
on my mobile css stylesheet:
div#standardnews { display:none; }
div#mobilenews { display:block; }
The css works just fine, however, on my mobile site instead of rendering the event from date, it actually rendered the tag itself "{tag_eventfromdate}". So, apparently I can't have multiple instances of a tag within a single page?? Is there a way around this?
I would be grateful for any input here on the best way to handle this type of thing, given the limitations I am running into.

You can make as many list templates as you like now.
You can have a different template per device - phone, tablet, desktop so if modules are in that template they will then render those different templates and thus different layouts.
If you have modules in pages that page can be differnt per device as outlined under site settings and mobile section.
Unlimited list layouts - http://www.businesscatalyst.com/_blog/BC_Blog/post/Video_Create_custom_list_templates_for_ BC_Modules/
You CAN NOT though have conditional tags in BC yet and you can not in one list layout have tags render differently based on the device.
Style and presentation you use media quries and the System tag for device provided by BC.

Yesterday, as today's deadline for filing tax returns approached, I was paralyzed by the inability to create new IRS PDF forms and to retrieve archived ones from a year ago. My computer went crazy. 24 hours later, I am still paralyzed. Can you help?

My computer went crazy yesterday on two occasions involving PDF documents. One dealt with attachments to an email from a bona fide corporation. The other dealt with IRS PDF forms & schedules needed for today's submission.
As both dealt with PDF and had nothing else in common, I suspected my PC had a virus. When I asked a local store technician, he agreed. I turned to Norton, which protects my PC from viruses, and after a few hours of really thorough searching, the computer was found to have no viruses.
Before describing what I call "crazy" computer behavior, you need to know that I have long had IE8 as my default browser but a few weeks ago switched to Mozilla Firefox because IE8 had beome incompatible with some websites from which I get information.
When I received the email from AT&T email service and clicked the first of four icons representing attachments, there was figuratively an explosion on my monitor: a series of new tabs, each called New Tab, burst onto the monitor--but no text or picture. The new tabs appeared faster than I coul kill them. I finally decided just to shut down the computer, hoping they would not reappear when I restarted. I was wrong. After 2 repeats, I decided to forget about the attachments and asked the sender to send them to me by regular mail.
That was no solution for my IRS PDFs. I wanted to complete filling in the various forms and schedules that I had begun months ago so that I could mail them today to the IRS (without having to copy them all in ink). When I tried to open the first one, BOOM. The same thing happened: the blizzard of New Tabs atop blank pages; my IRS form or schedule did not show up. Did the same shutdown/restart routine with the same results.
When I looked at the list of current forms that had to be completed, I noticed something very strange: the icons that began the listing of the documents' names were replaced one by one by Mozilla icons. When I moused over them, they said Firefox HTML. Why?
Starting the day today, I had the same experience. What's more, when I started to retrieve 2012 IRS PDFs from a year ago, the same New Tab tabs appeared and had to be killed, and Mozilla icons replaced whatever icon was there before.
Assuming that the problem arose with Adobe Reader's reading of the PDFs, I contacted Adobe but got no helpful phone number because PDFs are a free service and was directed to use this Forum to get help.
What do I have to do to (a) read and use PDFs in the normal way and (b) remove the Mozilla icon from those that have appeared on icon documents. If Mozilla is the source of the problem, shall I go back to IE8? (In my 80s, I want eventually to replace my old computer but for the time being I must continue using it. It will not take an IE9. Anther possible default browser would be Google Chrome, but I have unfavorable impressions of it because of its intrusiveness, loading my PC with stuff I do not need.
Can you help?

The problem is absolutely not Reader. The problem is that FireFox has stepped in front of Reader and handles all the PDF stuff - wrongly in your case. FireFox is DESIGNED to take over PDF files. But it is not capable of doing IRS forms!
To start with go back to IE for these forms. When you save them to disk DO NOT DOUBLE CLICK ON THEM until this is fixed. Just open the in the normal way - start Adobe Reader and use Open from the File menu.

Can I mix Pages page layout and word processing together in one document?

Hello there ! I am quite new to Pages and I am desperate to learn as i want to get rid of everything being Microsoft
As you all know when you open Pages you can choose between page layout and word processing !
the thing is i thought that after using a page layout you could just go with word processing easily... well no, you can't, but i'm sure i'm missing something...
For exemple i really like the catalogue brochure and it would be perfect for me to start a project... but after a few pages, i can just add blank pages and if i want to type text, i have to add text boxes... i don't want that, I want word processing... and another thing in this brochure i can't add table of content because it is not by default in the template...
So my question is quite basic here, can we link Page layout and word processing without having to use text boxes and everything ?
Thanks in advance !
Have a good day

Alexander,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The simple answer is no. What differentiates page layout from word processing mode is that the PL mode has no text layer. So everything that goes on the page must be an object of some kind. And any pages you add to a PL document must also be PL. You can't mix the two modes. One way around it is to start with a blank page, insert a text box, then stretch the box so that it covers the entire page. You can the type in it as if it were a text layer in a WP file. You can even capture that page so that you can add it automatically when you need it, or save it as a template.
As for building a Table of Contents, it appears that Pages only sees text styles that are on the text layer, which means it won't see styles that are in objects -- which means it won't work with a PL document. From being a long-time reader of this discussion group, I've noticed it's rare that someone wants to add a ToC to a PL document.
If you find that you're going to be mixing text and graphics, start with a word processing template. If you really like the Catalog Brochure, you could always copy some or all of its elements over to a blank WP template.
Hope this helps.

I am new to mac's and have upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion but......

I am new to mac's and have upgrade from Snow Leopard to Lion but not all my application will work. Is it save to reinstall using original snow leopard dvd and does it wipe all my other application like apature? I am in a panic over this, any help!!
I came across this online and i want to know is it safe to do this:
Backup your User folders to an external drive. This should preserve your documents, photos, music, etc. If you store those things in locations not in the User folder, make sure to copy those over too.
Insert the Snow Leopard disc. Restart your Mac and hold down C to boot to your DVD drive.
Go to Utilities in the menu bar once the installer pops up and select “Disk Utility.”
Find the drive in the sidebar where Lion is installed, select it and navigate to the Partition tab.
Click on the drop down menu under Partition Layout and select “1 Partition.” Hit Apply.
Now navigate to the Erase tab and make sure “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” is selected, then hit Erase to delete all data on the drive.
Quit Disk Utility to get back to the Snow Leopard installer and proceed with the install.
Restore your User folder and documents from your backup.
Run Software Update to get everything current, install your apps from your original install media and update those as well.
if any one can help me that would be great, thanks Mike

Before you do that why not do this first:
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Lion Recovery HD. When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
To boot from the Recovery HD restart the computer. After the chime hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
If this doesn't help, then you can proceed to reinstall Snow Leopard as follows:
Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
1. Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard. I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
This will erase the drive so be sure to backup your files before doing this.

Can you help me with Page Layout and/or Design ideas for a software manual?

Greetings,
I am a new InDesign user, and am converting a software manual that I created in MS Word into InDesign. It will be converted to a pdf to view online. I have the basics (3 master pages, page numbers, running headers, 2column pages with text boxes on the left and screenshots on the right), but I want to make it look prettier. Could you please give me some ideas on page layout and/or design to make it look better or more creative?
A few things that I am considering: borders around screenshots, a watermark, a logo next to the page numbers, different size/type of fonts, etc.
I am open to any suggestions to make this look better. However, please understand that I am new to InDesign. With that being said, please tell me a few steps when you mention your tips. Thank you!

Take a look at a few websites on Cannons of Page Construction.
I think the best idea for you is to look at a few software manuals and take tips from how they accomplished the layouts.
I'm not saying to copy them - but rather see what works and doesn't work, what worked for them might not necessarily work for you - research some layouts.
Fonts/type/sizes etc. are pretty much ambigious without context - is this a software manual for kids (soft cuddly big fonts easy to read), technical (small, tight spacing etc), Adult friendly (smooth, crisp clear, well spaced), elderly (large elegant fonts).
It all really depends on your demographic audience.
Being new to InDesign I suggest you take up Sandy Cohens Quickstart Visual Guide.
I think you should look at Michael Murphys Book on Styles
And you should definitely get your printer (the guys bulk printing) the booklet for you on board from the start to work out optimal sizes to suit their printing presses and workflow etc. And to ensure that you are setup correctly in page sizes, margins, safe type areas, colour profiles and a few other things that your printers prepress can help you with.

I am new to EPUB fomat and I am facing a lot of difficulties in exporting my work from InDesign CS6

Hi..I am new to EPUB fomat and I am facing a lot of difficulties in exporting my work from InDesign CS6. The problem is that I have got a financial report of about 100pages to export as EPUB, with lots of graphs etc..and when I export it, to EPUB 2.0, the following happens:
1. The image quality is quite low (even if the original images are of high quality, and during export, i put the image to max quality)
2. The graphs do not appear where they should be! All the imags in fact appear after the long paragraphs of text..meaning everything appear quite messy and in an unordered manner.
I have read that images should be anchored, and doing so, the result is quite better, but still, some images appear at the end of the text!!d
That is, the end result, in terms of pagination and graphics, is no way like it should have been, compared to the indesign file (page 5 is displayed after page 10, image on page 4 appears on page 9 etc..)
PLEASE HELP..
P.S :
I am using Adobe digital edition to view my EPUB..I have also tried CALIBRE and SIGIL!! But I am not too sharp in eiting CSS codes etc...

Hi Akshay,
If you want your images to appear standalone with no other page item on the page, then you can insert Page break on an image.
This is how you can specify a page break:
1. Select the image
2. Goto Object->Object Export Options
3. Select EPUB and HTML tab
4. Select Custom Layout check box and then check Insert Page break. You can select from the option in the dropdown-Before Image, After Image, Before and After Image as per your requirement.
Regarding your question about images:
You export your graphs as JPEG but are those JPEGs of good resolution? If they are, then InDesign is doing something wrong during export but if the JPEGs are not of good quality then it is not an export issue. Please provide some more details here.
Regards,
Pooja

[Solved] Can't login with current keyboard layout and `@` in password

Hi, I'm a new arch user. I followed archwiki to install Enlightenment17. All went fine but I have a problem to login since during setup I inserted '@' in root/regular user passwords. During setup I selected the Italian layout and all seems ok, except grafical login through entrance (from aur, but I tested also kdm, with same results): password not recognized. Before asking, is not a CAPS/NUMLOCK issue since the password works using it in console login. I discovered that I can type '@' with the following combination: SHIFT+2; in an italian keybord this should print a double quote (") but in entrance (and kdm) it correponds to '@'. After login this way, the keyboard works normally (for instance using 'su'). So the problem is limited to graphical login (entrance and kdm) during which a different keyboard layout is used.
Did I miss some config file?
For the sake of clarity:
1) /etc/locale.gen has "it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8" uncommented
2) /etc/locale.conf contains "LANG=it_IT.UTF-8"
3) /etc/vconsole.conf contains "KEYMAP=it"
4)
$ locale
LANG=it_IT.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="it_IT.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="it_IT.UTF-8"

Thanks for any help.

I exclude a variant problem considering that in any other condition the keyboard layout is right. The system is configured for an it KEYMAP but it is obvious that in entrance/kdm is used an 'us' map. Is this hardcoded somewhere? I also tryed to comment out any entry in /etc/locale.gen except 'it_IT.UTF-8 UTF-8': still 'us' keymap in graphical login screen.
Probably a kind user with a non-us keyborad layout could create a dummy user with password containing '@' or '#' or any other special symbol to verify that this condition is reproducible, a first step for a bug report.

Apex 4.2.1: Region table layout and pagination

See https://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=57688:2
Theme 24, table-based layout. Page template = One Level Tabs, Left Sidebar.
All 4 regions are report regions using the report region and 2-column portlet as the region and report templates respectively.
Regions 1.1 and 1.2 are supposed to be in the same row in different columns so 1.1 has New Grid=Yes and 1.2 has New Column=Yes. Ditto for 2.1 and 2.2
1. Trial and error shows that simply changing the Pagination of report region 1.1 from None to Bottom-Right causes the layout to shift such that 1.2 moves to a grid row by itself! What is going on here? Surely a "trivial" change like whether pagination is displayed or not shouldn't cause such a major layout change. Am I missing something?
2. Regions 2.1 and 2.2 stick together. How can we add some breathing room between them?
3. If the page template is changed to One Level Tabs, No Sidebar, the behaviour changes. All the regions are rendered in 1 column, ignoring the New Column grid layout setting. Why is this?
4. In general, with all the layout changes in 4.x, I was under the impression that, when using a HTML Table based page template, simply using the New Grid/New Row/New Column, etc attributes on the Region attributes would be sufficient to build pages with intuitive, declarative layouts with arbitrary "boxes" laid out on the page, regardless of the content/region type. But that doesn't appear to be the case.
Can some CSS expert (here's looking at you, Paul) please share some insights on how all this works?
Thanks

What is going on here? Surely a "trivial" change like whether pagination is displayed or not shouldn't cause such a major layout change. Am I missing something? No abstruse CSS here, just Pagination Sub-template and table-less layouts coming home to roost.
Unlike the majority of report templates, the 2-column portlet report template doesn't have an outer HTML <tt>table</tt> to act as a container for the engine-generated pagination <tt>tr</tt>. The pagination row is thus treated by the browser as starting a new row in the current open table—the region layout. Having the pagination <tt>tr</tt> injected into the 2-column portlet source turns it into tag soup. The whole thing spectacularly fails HTML validation.
I expect the official Oracle line is that 2-column portlet reports are not supposed to use pagination.
2. Regions 2.1 and 2.2 stick together. How can we add some breathing room between them?Add this rule to the page Inline CSS. This will add some space on the left of all region cells except the first in the row.
.regionlayout td+td {
padding-left: 10px;
3. If the page template is changed to One Level Tabs, No Sidebar, the behaviour changes. All the regions are rendered in 1 column, ignoring the New Column grid layout setting. Why is this?If this is the layout shown in your link above then I'm not reproducing it. Can you upload an export of your app and provide a link to it?

Need help with Page Layout and Background Scaling

hello, everyone.
I am in the process of designing a new website for myself,
and while I was researching nicely designed pages to use as
inspiration, I stumbled upon this site:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/
obviously, the design is very impressive, but it also
incorporates a lot of web mechanics that I have been trying to
figure out, so I will use this page as an example.
one thing I need help with is backgrounds. as you can see in
the posted website, the creator used a seamlessly tiled paper
texture to display the bulk of his content on. also make not of the
pattern that is located to the left of the paper texture. how do I
create seamless backgrounds like this that will scale to fit any
amount of content or any resolution? I can't imagine that the guy
that made that site created a new size background every time he
made an update, so there has to be an easier way.
the second thing that I am having trouble with is general
site layout. I have read that most sites used series of invisible
tables to organize there content, but when I open the source of
this page in dreamweaver, he was using something different. div
tags? should I be using these? who do I use them? are there any
general layout tips that someone could pass on to me? perhaps a
link to a good tutorial?
please help me. i am very confused.
thanks so much.

IMO not a good site to emulate. To wit:
Top background image:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-top.jpg;
745px
x 350px 137K
Main background image:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-tile.jpg;
745px x 950px 130K
Total page size: 454K (Check here:
www.websiteoptimization.com)
Website usability experts routinely recommend a maximum page
size of ~80K
Check out the We We Scale @ www.FutureNowInc.com/wewe/ where
they suggest,
"You speak about yourself approximately 0,003 times as often
as you speak
about your customers. Might that have an impact on your
effectiveness?"
That is 100% consistent with the #1 Web Design mistake:
"Believing people
care about you and your web site." or to phrase more
expansively, "Our site
tries to tell you how wonderful we are as a company, but not
how we're going
to solve your problems."
www.sitepoint.com has some excellent books on making a
website actually
attractive and usable at the same time.

CSS layout and Internationalization of JSF apps

We use message bundles to handle internationalization in our JSF applications. This approach seems to work as we used HTML tables (or rather <h:panelGrid> tags) to layout components on the page.
We had numerous customer complaints about tons of extra white space left on the screen in languages like German (where some words are very long). There are other issues with grid layouts, and we decided to give CSS positioning a try.
I wonder, what folks on this forum think about using CSSP in conjunciton with JSF components. Also, given that text strings have different length in different languages, what is the i18n approach? Afterall, coordinates that work in English may not be accurate in German.
Any suggestions, ideas, pointers would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Vadim.

Hi guys.
The problem seems a little bit weird. But you could try the following. It is just the idea.
1. You should recover the .properties file and get the Map for the current Locale. This should have to be done maybe in the Backing bean.
2. Get the maximum length of the UIOutputText elements present in the form that you need to control its length. Now the important thing here is that you should have the value atribute of the UIOutputText objects based on an internationalized Base Bundle prefix. Just cut -based on the substring of the value attribute- the name of the property.
3. Consider that you have to look in the Map the entry you just obtained from the UIOutputText object. After get the value of that Map entry (a String object) and get its length. At the end of the loop you sould have get the maximum length in characters of the component values to be displayed.
4. Fix that value as an attribute in the backing bean.
5. Use the output of that value to generate the style in CSS, as an String attribute of the Backing Bean. Base your CSS construction in "em" measures
6. Change the -style- attribute in each component to reflect the correct length using CSS like this -style="#�{backingBeanName.style}"-. With this you will get an space dependent of the length of the localized values.
Again. It is just a suggestion, I had not tried it already but I guess that will be my way in that case.

Creating a new Handler (java.util.logging API)

Hi,
I'm developping a new Handler (extending the java.util.logging.StreamHandler) and I need to get some initialisation properties from the LogManager. I was taking example from the existing Handlers (SocketHandler, FileHandler...) and wanted to use the LogManager.getLevelProperty, getFilterProperty and so on). Unfortunately these methods are not public.
Is there any good reason for that ? As we are still dealing with a beta version, can't we have them public (same old Open Source problem).
Antonio

I am in a similar situation and agree completely with the above comments. Using the LogManager getProperty() is incredibly cumbersome.

If they are Apple-brand headphones, then the Apple Store will handle the warrranty and, absent any evidence of abuse, should replace the headphones. If the headphones were made by some other company, then unless you purchased the headphones in the last fourteen days, you will have to contact the manufacturer of the headphones for warranty support.
Regards.
