Edit Source Files For Skins?

One of our programmers has asked about the possibility of editing the tab index for the skin on the Captivate demos I'm producing. Apparently, the stock playback skins don't meet our accessibility standards as tightly as he'd like. Anyway, I've found a folder in the Captivate 3 program folder called "Templates", within which is another folder called "PlaybackFLA" that contains what appear to be the Flash source files for the skins. The names of these Flash files correspond to the names of the skins in the dropdown menu, so I assume these are the ones.
I opened one in Flash and it was clearly the same playback controls used in my demo, so as a test I changed the button colors and saved it in the same folder under a different file name. However, when I launched Captivate and looked for my new skin in the drop down menu it wasn't listed. Now I'm confused. Can anyone tell me why my altered skin Flash files don't appear with the others? Any help would be welcome.
Thanks!

Hi there
Did you close and restart Captivate?
I ask because many things like this are read in when Captivate starts. So if it's left running (even with a project closed) it's unaware of changes until the housekeeping routines at startup read it in again.
Cheers... Rick

Source files for flash galleries

Does anybody know if the source files for the flash galleries are to be made available as were those for the CS2 galleries? I have mentioned this in another post but thought it appropriate to make a separate post.

They are. However replacing the swf file in Lightroom to generate new galleries on a windows machine is a little complicated (it is easier on a MAC). It was straightforward in CS2 but actually requires a dissembler to work with the template file inside Lightroom. So for now I think I will just try editing the xml files of the uploaded galleries as that sort of stuff is way beyond me and I have just got a headache trying to understand the Adobe instructions!
Hopefully some clever people will do all the hard work and lots of new Flash galleries will soon be around. There are some nice ones already created take a look

Generate xml source file for Oracle Order Capture Print Quote

Hi,
I am new to xml and need to work on creating templates for Print Quote.
I am trying to generate the xml source file for which I enabled the report in system administrator and set the output to XML and assigned to Quoting Reports responsiblity. I then assigned XML Report Publisher to the same responsiblity.
I ran the report (Print Quote) and then I am trying to run the XML Report Publisher but I cannot get the request id in the list of values.
I am able to generate xml source file for other reports like Printed Purchase Order etc.,
The view output for the (Print Quote) report is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
- 
<ASOPQTER />
How do I get the xml source file? Or are there seeded templates that I can use to create more templates? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ravi

Hi, I am in the same position - did this issue ever ger resolved by anyone. I have done a few XMLP reports successfully now using the Word add-in, but customising the Quote output differs from other standard reports.
If you look at the data definition for Quote it is a 'dummy' definition and has no XML file attached. Does anyone know how I can get the XML format for the report output?
Also the template uses XSL-FO ?!?!?! rather than RTF - not sure how to work with this, the Oracle docs are not very helpful in this regard either.
Has anyone successfully managed to customise the Quote print report? Many thanks,
Roger

Folio Builder: An error has occurred opening the source file for the article layout.

I have been working on a Folio. When I sat down to work on my folio, I was instructed by indesign to update my Folio producer tools, which I did.
Since then I can no longer view any article layout from that folio in indesign. Indeed any folio that I create that does not reside on my desktop give the same problem. I can import articles, add articles and they all upload to the proper place at adobe and I can view them. But I simply cannot open them up through folio builder as I previously.
The exact error message is as below:
An error has occurred opening the source file for the article layout.
The InDesign file for the layout cannot be found.
Another strange thing that seems to be happening is that the folio will randomly reoder the articles in the folio.
I have dumped my indesign prefs, tried creating an entirely new project, made a new account and even reinstalled the entire software.
But the problem of opening an article that I have imported or added to a folio, simply not being found to open has got me stumped. I can't proceed with a major project until I can sort this out.
Can anyone help.
Many thanks

Example of a source file for Creating general maintenance task list

Hi SAP Gurus,
I need to create general maintenance task list from a source file. Reading forums i found that it is possible by using LSMW, with object 0490 and method 0000.
However, I don't know how to associate structure IBIPTLST, IBITLOP and IBIPMAT. When i assign individual source files for each structure, and I execute LSMW, a problem appears indicating that IBITLOP don't have all the required fields from the list header.
This is the structure propose by SAP in standar programa IBIP.
Structure - IBIPTLST     Task list header
|-->> IBIPTEXT (see comment below)
   |-->> IBIPTLOP   Operations
|       |-->> IBIPTEXT (see comment below)
   |       |-->> IBIPTMAT Material for one operation
   |       |-->> IBIPPRTS Production resources/tools (PRT
   |                   |-->> LONGTEXT (see comment below)
   |       |--> IBIPMPAC Maintenance packages (up to 32)
   |--->> IBIPBDCD (see comment below) from operation overview
In other forums, a possible solution is to define an unique source file, that is proposed by LSMW, but i don't know how to obtain this template.
Can you send me an excel example of how to define de input file or the steps I have to follow in order to execute an LSMW or the standard transaction IBIP?.
My e-mail is [email protected]
I have read all the SAP documentation, what i really need is an example.
Thanks a lot

Logon Error:Could not retrieve the source file for Port "Main"

Hi All,
We have a port which is blocked due to structural exceptions.When i try to connect to the Exceptions folder

Source files for sapjco3

Does anyone have access to/know how to get access to the source files for the sapjco library? In particular, I am seeking the .c files that were used to create libsapjco3.so. These are needed for an Android application that I am building.
Thanks!
Jim Daniel

Howdy Erhan,
The short answer is that using jco via mobile is a clean and easy interface, that doesn't involve web services. The entire point of my app (which is a PoC) is to avoid having to set up a .bsp or .jsp page and all the security concerns that comes with it. Using the jco package, you can "log-in" in an analogous manner to the SAP log-on. Again, it's clean, simple and easy.
Having access to the source files, whether in java or c, would be an immense help.
Thanks!
Jim

Suggest some help.
Thx n Regards

Hi,
well, no, this is the only official way to do so. But if you have the WAR file - you should get the java files from the same destination.
Unfortunately you have to buy the product from SAP first to be allowed to download it from the destination in servicemarketpkace.

Hi,
I had the same problems with the samples. But I got different message. but, instead of typing "ant build", I entered only "ant" on the prompt and I was able to built it.
So, in the comamnd prompt goto your example directory and enter only ant .
The ant will read the build.xml file and you should be able to get it.

Can not set source file for Fireworks png in Dreamweaver

I recently purchased Adobe Design Premium CS5 to replace my CS3, but I have a big
problem. When I export a png in Fireworks to Dreamweaver it does not set the source
file correctly. It places the Fireworks object on the page, but when I select the table
that holds the Fireworks object, the path for the source on the Properties panel is
wrong - it says menu2.png. The correct document relative path is dress_images/menu2/menu2.png.
When I drag the Point to File icon over the menu2.png on the Files panel, it correctly displays
the full path, but when I let go of it, it sets the path back to menu2.png. I can not even type it
in the source box and get it to stay.
Here is the problem. When I click on the Edit button, it says it can't find the png. It is using
the full path from the C: drive instead of the document relative path. If I browse to the png file
and open it in Dreamweaver then click the Done button, it saves the png file but does not change
any of the content on the HTML page.
Fireworks and Dreamweaver CS3 worked perfectly here. Help!
I just tried to do this on another computer. This time when I pasted the Fireworks HTML onto the
page in Dreamweaver it set the path correctly (it was a root relative path instead of a document
relative path). I tried to edit in Fireworks using the Edit button, and it opened Fireworks without
any problem. I made some changes then clicked the Done button. Now the Done button is suppose
to be like magic. It is suppose to save the changes to the png file, make the changes on the HTML
page in Dreamweaver, and change any of the supporting files (images) that have been edited. It
always worked this way in CS3, and anything less than this would be a huge step backwards. In this
case, it saved the changes to the png, but did not make any other changes. The web page in
Dreamweaver is still the same. How do I get the Done button to work its magic using CS5.
Another problem - when I paste the code onto the page, the page looks totally messed up. If I save it
and reopen it then it looks fine. However, this never occurred with CS3. Aren't updates to software
suppose to be improvements?
Thanks.
Nathan

Yes, the web site is correctly defined in Dreamweaver. I teach web design for both high school and
adult school, and I have done this procedure 100's of times with CS3. There is something different with
CS5. I took your suggestion and imported the Fireworks HTML using Insert -> Image -> Fireworks HTML,
but it still does not work. I can edit it in Fireworks, hit the Done button, and the png file is saved but
the HTML page remains the same.
Also, the export does not get the path right, and it will not let me set the path right. The only way the path
is right is if the page that I am pasting the Fireworks HTML is in the same folder as the png. It always
sets the png's path as menu.png. Therefore, if the page is in a different folder, the document relative path
won't find it. This was never a problem with CS3. In fact, you could paste the code using Control-V and it
would work 100% of the time. That is how we always did it. When exporting from Fireworks, I would set
Export to "copy to clipboard" then move to Dreamweaver, click where I wanted the code pasted and do Control-V and presto it would
always work. You could come back a month later, select the table, click the Edit button, make changes
in Fireworks, click the Done button and the changes would be reflected on the HTML page in Dreamweaver without
doing anything more. I have tried it with "copy to clipboard" and I have tried it with "export HTML file". Neither
works. There is definitely something different between CS3 and CS5, and right now I am missing CS3.
Thanks for your help. I will keep fighting this until I get it, but any additional input would be appreciated.

Handling source files for multiple versions

Ok, I've looked around on the web and multiple discussions and have yet to find an answer. We currently have two authors working on the same help project that we have handled relatively successfully under RoboSource. Our development environment has changed so that we need to be able to support multiple versions of the help at once ie- release branch vs development branch that we want documented but it is not yet slated to be in the release.
I've looked at the help for RoboSource and there is an idea of branching but not much help on how this is done or if it really maintains two sets of the files, etc. I've also seen some postings on the forum for this that have gone unanswered. Makes me suspect that perhaps RoboSource doesn't really support multiple versions of help source files. I would be happy to admit that I'm wrong here.
Another option to solve our challenge is by committing our source files to the development source system, SVN. I've noticed some threads discussing this. I'm unsure from reading these posts if RoboHelp alerts you when you are about to modify a file, such fpj or hhk, that is being used by someone else like RoboSource does. Since we still have two authors playing in the same help project it would be most efficient if it would notify us before letting us write over one another's work.
Can anyone shed some light on:
1) does RoboSource really support multiple versions of the help source files and how it is done?
2) does RoboHelp notice when a file is locked in SVN and notify the other author to keep hands off until it is committed again?
3) is there somewhere better for me to research this?
Thanks you for any assistance you can provide,
Nita

We're using RSC 3.1 with RH 8 and with RH X5, and we've found that this is actually a two-step process:
Branching is the method for copying a snapshot of a folder (to establish two branches of the same source).
Reconciling (AKA forward/back patching) is the method for synchronizing edits between branches (or not, as the case may be).
For example, a "V12.3" branch of the "main" source has been prepared for one customer's specific needs. All edits to "main" will be forward patched to "V12.3," but edits to specific areas of "V12.3" will not be back patched to "main."
Tim, my boss, prepared the tutorials below, as much for himself as for us, and I have only stripped the screenshots to protect our intellectual property. Note also that we reference two publish locations, one for internal reviewing, and one for Release Engineering to include in our nightly product builds. Your environment might only have a single publish destination. Note also that the output files are never added to RSC.
Pay special attention to your folder naming process before you start, by anticipating any potential future branching needs. Folder renaming after the fact can be problematic in RH and RSC.
Good luck,
Leon
===================================
Branching Projects in RoboSource 3.1
Since the Help for RoboSource and Robohelp lack a proper explanation for branching and updating configuration files to support proper branching, this document has been created to assist in creating future branches.
Creating New Local Directories
Individuals must create new local path directories on their systems. We use the following conventions:
Ex. C:\902_imsmerge\projects (source folder)
Ex. C:\902_imsgenerate\mergedProjects (output folder)
Create New Server Directories
New server directories need to be created in two locations for holding the output files.
One is for the Robohelp output that gets put in the nightly .war file and checked into Perforce.
The other is in the wwwroot of our IIS server for our doc web site.
They are defined as follows:
\\docsql01\Documentation\RoboHelp\9.0.3\imsgenerate
\\docsql01\Inetpub\wwwroot\help_sys\9.0.3
Create new directories with the correct branch number.
Using RoboSource View Manager to Create a Branch
You use the View Manager to create a new branch. In RoboSource 3.1, a branch is just a different type of view.
Assume the version_903 branch has already been created. To create a new branch, click the Create button and name the new branch (version_910), leaving a blank root folder.
Click on Set Root to define the root folder for the new branch.
Select the root for the branch and click OK.
Select the view (branch) and click Properties. In the Properties window, select Branch as the Type, then click Close.
In the View Manager, check the check box to enable the view.
Setting the Local Path for the New Branch
Select the new branch and right-click.
Type in or browse to the correct local path, check the Apply Recursively box, click Apply. Close the Properties window.
Editing .xpj Files
The .xpj files in the new branch need to be edited to point to the new branch. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. IF NOT DONE ROBOHELP WILL CHECK IN CHANGES TO BOTH THE BRANCH AND THE ROOT.
One line in each project’s .xpj needs to change. See below.
This value must match the branch the project lives in. In our above new branch example this would be changes to %version_910.
In a merged project, you can change all these at once with the FAR tool.
Edit the .ssl and .sss files
These files need to be edited to redefine the generating and publishing paths. Note that this can also be accomplished with the FAR tool, or by having each writer do it through the GUI.
ssl Files
The .ssl files contain the data for the generate path. Although there might be seven .ssl files for each project, you only need to edit the ones for your Primary Layout and one or two others that you might also use.
Make sure the generate path is defined correctly.
sss Files
The .sss file defines the publishing paths. This edit can also be done through the GUI if necessary.
====================================
Forward and Back Patching in RoboSource
This document describes the procedure of forward or back patching files (.htm or .gif) between branches in the RoboSource system. The RoboSource product uses a feature called Reconcile Changes to accomplish patching between branches.
Example Scenario
Throughout this document we will use a real life example from the refwindows project.
We have edited the version 9.0.3 security_master_folder.htm file in RoboHelp.
Now, we need to backpatch it to version 9.0.2.
Selecting Folders or Files to Reconcile
You can select either:
A single file for reconciliation
The source folder, or
The destination folder
If you have just one file to reconcile, you will probably want to use the single file method. If you have several files to reconcile, you will need to use the folder method.
Working from the Source Folder
Select the source folder (folder that contains the updated file) in source control. In our case, %version_903/refwindows.
Select Reconcile Changes … from the Action menu. This opens the Reconcile window.
Select the appropriate option in the Reconcile window.
In our example we select the first option to reconcile from %version_903 because that is where our updated file is. Make sure the correct project is selected in the drop-down list. ($/version_902/refwindows).
Other Options
Reconcile changes made in another branch *into %verison_903/refwindows. This is the option you would use if you have an updated file in another branch that you want to put in 903.
Reconcile changes made locally (in c:\903_imsmerge\projects\refwindows) and %version_903/refwindows. We would most likely never use this option.
Reconcile changes made in another database *into* this database. Do not use.
None of the above, let me select what to Reconcile. This one sounds like it would be a good option, but it gets even more complicated.
Wildcard Filter. Use this to display only certain file types. For example, *.htm;*.gif;*.jpg would filter on those file types.
Click OK to open the Difference Reconciliator window.
Notice that this window shows all files in the project that have differences such as the .ssl and .xpj files.
IMPORTANT: NEVER reconcile these files, they are supposed to be different.
You can prevent these files from displaying by using the Wildcard Filter discussed above.
Select the appropriate file (security_master_folder.htm). This window will allow you to replace the file in the version_902 project unfortunately, it will also allow you to replace the updated file with the older one. Be Careful Here.
You can also View Differences from this window by clicking the View Differences link.
Click the Replace button in the $/version_902 pane.
You will get a confirmation dialog. Before clicking OK, take the time to read the question. This is your opportunity to catch potential mistakes!
You will then get the Reconcile Checkout dialog.
Be sure Perform the action directly on the Server is checked, click OK.
You see that the Difference Reconciliator window now indicates No changes to merge from %version_903/rewindows/security_master_folder.htm in the $version_902 pane.
Close the window.
Check the Destination Folder
In the source control window go to the destination branch and check the project. You can see in this shot that the security_master_folder.htm file now shows the date it was replaced, and that the server version is now different from your local version.
Working from the Destination Folder
If you had chosen the destination folder and select Reconcile Changes, the same window would have opened but with different options.
Here you would have selected the second option to reconcile into $/version_902.
You can do it either way, just pay careful attention to the options. The rest of the process is the same.

How to find source files for an exe?

I have an exe that has eben built by someone else. How do I know which files are being used as source files?

Depending on what version of LabVIEW you are using, you can find out the names of all source files. In versions 7.1 and earlier, you can rename the EXE to LLB and LabVIEW will recognize the EXE as an LLB, and you can browse the VIs in the EXE. You may not be able to open them, as most will have their front panels removed, but you will at least be able to see the list of all the files (but no paths to the original source). On newer versions of LabVIEW, it appears that this no longer works.
Also don't forget that if the person built the EXE with a small EXE and a supportting llb, there may be a data.llb (default name, the user could rename it) that will have almost all of the VIs in it (again, you may not be able to open them, but would be able to get a list).
Have you not been able to find a .bld file (for v7.1 and earlier) or a .lvproj (8.0 and later) file? This would be the definition of the EXE build and will give you a list of everything with paths.

How to Edit Source File?

I understand, in the source file, my home page <title> says "home" nothing else. I've been told to change it to "Richard Lange - Artist" or something similar. Same idea for all my other pages since they are vital part of the search engines search patternings.
I also understand it can not be done in iWeb. And, that were I to republish from iWeb, the changes would need to be redone. (Unless - I imagine - I publish to my desktop folder and then using Lunarpages file manager, upload only the page(s) that have been modified.)
Will doing so affect the design or visable content of my pages?
Might I be able to edit the code with the c/panel file manager at Lunarpages, my server?
If not, how do I find and edit and upload this data?
Since this all is Greek to me, I would much appreciate specific - and simple- steps!
Thanks in advance!

<title> says "home" nothing else. I've been told to
change it to "Richard Lange - Artist" or something

are vital part of the search engines search

It's debatable point. Your site is #1 listed in Google as it is.
I also understand it can not be done in iWeb. And,
that were I to republish from iWeb, the changes would
need to be redone. (Unless - I imagine - I publish to
my desktop folder and then using Lunarpages file
manager, upload only the page(s) that have been
modified.)
You can change pages title in iWeb by changing the page name in iWeb.
But some hosts' server won't accept special characters, such as space in file name during uploading process.
So you have to stick with some plain file name and edit <title> tags
Will doing so affect the design or visable content of
my pages?
No.
Might I be able to edit the code with the c/panel
file manager at Lunarpages, my server?
You have to check with your host.
If not, how do I find and edit and upload this data?
if ➊ you are running 10.4.x ➋ your system language is English ➌ you published to a folder, then you may want to try my 'Set Pages Title' script. it can be found here:
http://www.geocities.com/[email protected]/iWeb_utils/
Be sure to read the iWebScripts.rtf file, I tried to explain on how to configure the script to your iWeb environment.
