Frame 9 solution for table column + side head does not work in Frame 10 and 11

In Frame 9 structured (DITA) we could force Frame to record the actual widths of table columns in the DITA XML.  Frame 9 would respect the widths when opening the file.  This was particularly useful for forcing tables to be wide -- to go across the column and the side head -- and for the columns to never resize. 
In Frame 9 this was done by commenting out the line
"writer use proportional widths;" 
like this
"/* writer use proportional widths; */"
in the topic.rules.text" file located in
"...\FrameMaker9\Structure\xml\DITA\app\DITA-Topic-FM"
This no longer works in Frame10 and Frame 11.  Even though the same line is commented out in all the "NAME.rules.txt" files in all the subdirectories of
    "...\AdobeFrameMaker11\Structure\xml\DITA_1.2\app"
and
    "...\AdobeFrameMaker11\Structure\xml\DITA\app"  
and
    "...\AdobeFrameMaker10\Structure\xml\DITA_1.2\app"
and
    "...\AdobeFrameMaker10\Structure\xml\DITA\app"  .
Commenting out the line does force Frame 10 and 11 to record  the absolute column width (2.357" etc.) in the DITA XML.
However, on Open,  Frame 10 and 11 force the table to fit in the column, not the column and sidehead. That is they behave as though they were still using proportional column widths.  It seems the original values (as inserted by Frame 10 and 11 before closing!) are recalculated on Open, thereby mimicking the default proportional width behavior.  
For example, this on Save then Close from Frame 10 or 11
<table frame = "topbot" colsep = "0" rowsep = "1">
<tgroup cols = "4" colsep = "0" rowsep = "1" outputclass = "FormatB">
<colspec colnum = "1" colname = "1" colwidth = "1.796in" colsep = "0"/>
<colspec colnum = "2" colname = "2" colwidth = "1.852in" colsep = "0"/>
<colspec colnum = "3" colname = "3" colwidth = "1.179in" colsep = "0"/>
<colspec colnum = "4" colname = "4" colwidth = "2.152in" colsep = "0"/>
goes to this on Open then Save: 
<table frame = "topbot" colsep = "0" rowsep = "1">
<tgroup cols = "4" colsep = "0" rowsep = "1" outputclass = "FormatB">
<colspec colnum = "1" colname = "1" colwidth = "1.351in" colsep = "0"/>
<colspec colnum = "2" colname = "2" colwidth = "1.393in" colsep = "0"/>
<colspec colnum = "3" colname = "3" colwidth = "0.887in" colsep = "0"/>
<colspec colnum = "4" colname = "4" colwidth = "1.618in" colsep = "0"/>
Any help at all would be appreciated!

Hi...
Unfortunately, I don't have any insight into the default DITA table handling in FM10 or FM11 .. so can't give you the answer you're looking for. Since both FM10 and FM11 offer ExtendScript, you could write a script (or have one written) that processes all of your files to reset the table widths. Or, perhaps the best short term solution may be to reinstall FM9 to get the job done, then spend more time later to figure out a better solution.
One alternative would be for you to use DITA-FMx, which supports the table/@pgwide attribute for controlling which tables span the page and which don't. Since your tables probably don't make use of this attribute, it won't help in the near term, but might make sense going forward.

  • "Quit" in ITS Header does not work properly

    Hello,
    we have a self-made ESS Service in use (http://itshost:port/scripts/wgate/zmfa/!). In this service the "Quit" Link in the ESS header does not work.
    When we start e.g. the pz04 transaction on the ITS (http://itshost:port/scripts/wgate/pz04/!) the "Quit" button does work properly, and ends the ITS Session.
    I already tried to set the ~exiturl to a close_window.html file, but still it doesn't work in the self-made service.
    This line is included in the service:
    `include(~service="system", ~language="", ~theme="dm", ~name="TemplateLibraryDHTML.html")`
    I guesss changing the templatelibrarybasis.html won't work, since the pz04 also uses this template, and there it works. We don't want to remove these "Quit" and "Help" links in the header, since they are still being used (due to older Release of R/3, no Portal App).
    It's a standalone ITS 6.20, latest patch, newly installed.
    Anybody have an Idea?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Daniel

    Usually the profiler gives higher execution times than is true, since it is using resources itself. Make sure the profiler is started before starting the program (while in edit mode vs run time mode). Wait for the completion of all vis, then stop the profiler.
    Of course, the sub vis may actually execute faster than the profiler can discriminate (eg faster than a microsecond), which happens frequently.

  • Column's headerWordWrap does not work

    Hi,
    I have a advanced datagrid that has serveral advanced datagrid columns. If the column header text long enough for it to not fit the column width, i want it to be word wrapped so that it can display the header text in two lines.
    setting the headerwordwrap=true does not work. And i tried the same thing with simple datagrid and simple datagrid column replacing advanced datagrid.
    It still would not work. Not sure what are the conditions for it to work.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Kind Regards.

    Chris,
    There are several areas in your code which needed changes. 
    1. On the field name for your temp table you had spaces.
    2. The SAP table name ODLN, OPCH, PCH1 had to be fully referenced like
    [dbo].[ODLN]
    3. You really need not have ## in front of your temp table, it could just be #
    The select at the end is actually what causes the most problem as for some reason from within SAP it does not produce the result.  I would suggest you put the whole code into a Stored Procedure and call the SP from SAP.  Corrected SQL below.  If you remove the Select line at the end the query would work with in SAP, but keep it give give you an error. SP is the best option for this.

  • Check for Rentals on Apple TV does not work

    I have rented many movies in the past using Apple TV. I have not had a problem until now, right after I just updated my Apple TV software to the latest software v6.0 (6646.65).
    Last night (9/28) I rented World War Z. Roughly 20 minutes into the movie, I stopped the move by hitting the menu button. This exited me from the movie and back to the movies rentals screen.  I then rented another movie only a few minutes after exiting the first. I had no problem renting the second movie as I did not exit the movie once the streaming started.
    A few hours later I went back to watch the move by selecting the movie.  The rental option was still availabe. By selecting to rent the movie again and then selecting "Rent and watch now", the system told me I had already rented the movie and I should go to Settings->Downloads->Check for Downloads.  This options does NOT exist in the settings menu; however, I found a similar option under iTunes Store->Check for Rentals.
    This "Check for Rentals" option does absolutely nothing - or it doesn't show anything if it is doing something behind the scenes.  It just shows the spinning lines. I waited all night for something to happen. I restarted my router and modem to make sure there was nothing wrong with networking. Again, I had just watched another movie all the way through with no problems. I sent Apple Support an email with my issue and they refunded my $4.99 for the movie rental.
    So, tonight (9/29), I still wanted to watch the movie and I wanted to see if it would work. I went to the movie, selected to rent the movie and it gave me an optionsaying that I had already rented the movie and asking me if I wanted to rent it again. I selected to rent it again.  I was able to watch the movie all the way through with no problem. 
    I ended the movie during the credits by hitting the menu button. I immediately went back to the movie to see if I could continue the movie since I should be able to watch this movie in the next 24 hours.  The same situation happened again. I was told I could not rent the movie again, but to go to Settings->Download->Check for downloads. The "Check for Rentals" is doing the same thing.
    So, my question is how do I fix this or is there even a fix for this situation?  If I can't watch a movie without the fear of exiting the movie for whatever reason and not be able to return to the rented movie, I will not continue to rent movies from Apple TV. I enjoy renting them through Apple TV, but I definitely have multiple options (i.e. XBox Live, PS Network/Amazon, Redbox, etc.).  I really want to understand why this is happening and if it's going to be fixed.
    Thank you for any feedback!

  • With HP update for Maverick my photosmart C309A does not work properly

    After the HP-update for Maverick my printer HP Photosmart C309A does not work correctly. The scan facility is gone and the printer "hangs" after one print. I had to reset the printer software from a backup and to disable the automatic installation facility on my IMac. Shortly, very very very nasty. I hope this is the way for Apple to change this update into a good one. There is no other way to communicate with Apple then through the Community. I wander if Yosemite gives the same problems with printers.

    You are welcome.
    Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

  • Shortcut for downloads window in Safari does not work

    Hi everybody,
    My shortcut for downloads window in Safari (command-option-L) does not work anymore, when i press that combination of buttons, iTunes appears in my screen.
    Can i do something to bring back my shortcut?
    Santiago

    Ok...
    Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
    Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. Try the keyboard shortcut for the Downloads window. If it didn't help, just move that .plist file back to the Preferences folder.
    Also, go to your Safari menu bar click Safari/Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset. Restart your Mac. That might help too.

  • WCCP does not work between WSA and ASA

    I have configured WCCPv2 between WSA S160 (         6.3.1-025) and ASA5540 (8.2(1)109).
    Everything seems to be OK by "show wccp *" on ASA and showing wccp debugging messages (level 4) on S160. Despite of it, WCCP redirection does not work.
    If I use packet-capture I figure out that S160 receives GRE packets with TCP SYN from particular LAN host to WWW sites but S160 does not handle them and does not send anything back to ASA.
    It is an Exempt from authentication for this LAN host and in Forward proxy mode everything works well.
    I have attached an example of a packet-capture (S160.txt - renamed from .cap) and debugging messages from S160 & "show" from ASA.
    Does anybody have any idea what the problem is and how I can resolve it ?

    IronPort Support team helped me to find the trouble:
    If I wish to handle specific port's (80, 8080, etc.) traffic by the transparent proxy I need to configure this port like a listener for the FORWARD proxy
    ("Security Services" -> "Proxy Settings" -> "HTTP Ports to Proxy")
    The WSA guide doesn't clearly say about it.
    So the Discussion can be closed ...
