HTML Content Layout Tables

I need to set up a new HTML Content Table Layout. I can get the table set up, but I can't get the header to not repeat. Does anyone know how to set up a table layout with a non repeating header?

HTML Content layout repeats for each item in the region. You should set the header above the content region seperately.
thanks

HTML content layout substitution tags

Hi,
We have a multi-language Portal 10.1.4 and use HTML content layout substitution tags in a HTML Template. The problem is that we would like to use the ITEM.PUBLISHDATE.LABEL and the ITEM.UPDATESDATE.LABEL tags but the text rendered isn't exactly what we would like to get (f.e. in English it's 'Publish Date' and in French it's 'Date de mise à jour').
I looked in the documentation and found that the text rendered correspond to the display name of the attribut (not 100% sure of this). But, those attributs are in the Shared Objects and we can't modify them.
1. We would like to modify the display name of those attributs (both in French and in English) or find any other way to make it.
2. We also want to apply an other format to the date retreived with the ITEM.PUBLISHDATE.VALUE and the ITEM.UPDATEDDATE.VALUE tags.
Can someone help us with those issues ?
David

Yes, we added languages in the Translation tab of the shared object pagegroup properties.

Bug in HTML Content Layout ?

Dear all,
I'm facing something weird...
I've created an HTML Content Layout to display ITEMS on my own way.
If i want to display the CREATEDATE like this
htp.p('#ITEM.CRETEDATE.VALUE#');
or like this
htp.p(to_date('#ITEM.CRETEDATE.VALUE#', 'DD/MM/YY'));
everything's correct.
But if i want to display the PUBLISH_DATE like this :
htp.p('#ITEM.PUBLISHDATE.VALUE#'); ---> OK
but
htp.p(to_date('#ITEM.PUBLISHDATE.VALUE#', 'DD/MM/YY')); ---> returns nothing !
Same behaviour with my own "DATE attribute".
htp.p(to_date('#ITEM.MYDATE.VALUE#', 'DD/MM/YY')); returns nothing...
Thanks for any ideas.
Max.

I think the problem is that the publish date includes date AND time so you'll need to also add the time format when doing TO_DATE. Then you can TO_CHAR it to whatever format you want to show, if you want it different than the default for your system. In the following, I'm changing the date format on our system to be shown as DD/MM/YYYY w/o the time.
HTP.P(TO_CHAR(TO_DATE('#ITEM.PUBLISHDATE.VALUE#','DD-MON-YYYY HH12:MI PM'),'DD/MM/YYYY'));

HTML Content Layout

Hi,
I'm currently using Oracle Portal 10.1.4.2.0. I've built an HTML content layout to display my document/item content in the style and layout I want and all is working fine. I now have a requirement where a user is to upload a lot of content at one time using a zip file. I need to have the "unzip" link displayed next to the file name as is designed in portal. However, the link does not display because I do not have this as part of my template. So my question is, how do I get this link into my layout template? Is there a substitution string for the unzip? If so, I can't find it.
Thanks in advance for any pointers in the right direction.

Try this.
<oracle>
if '#ITEM.TYPE#' in ('baseportletinstance', 'portlet_instance') then
htp.p('#ITEM.PORTLETCONTENT#');
else
htp.p('#ITEM.DESCRIPTION#');
htp.p('#ITEM.CONTENT#');
end if;
</oracle>

Examples of conditional statements in 10.1.4 HTML Content Layout Templates?

I've read all the documentation on metalink/OTN and gone through the OBE but what I really need to see are some REAL WORLD EXAMPLES of an html content layout for an item region that may have a mix of several different item types and display options. What is the best way to handle the conditional statements for item types and display options in an HTML Content Layout Template?
Hey, hasn't anyone started a SKINS/TEMPLATES web site for Oracle Portal yet???
:-)

Since I have multiple item types allowed in a page group and I want any of them to be used for an Items region, I am trying conditional statements based primarily on #ITEM.TYPE# and #ITEM.DISPLAYOPTION#. I have an html content layout I've been working on (lots of trial and error!) for use in an Items regions but I'm still looking for some examples that other people may have implemented in their portal.

Plsql in html content layout

Hi,
I define an item type and a content layout to display that item type.
in the content layout, it is need to call some API package in PORTAL schema.
between <oracle></oracle> tag, I made a call like
package_name.procedure_name(parameters) but it fails.
PORTAL.package_name.procedure_name(parameters) also fails.
how to make that call works? how to specify a shcema for plsql?

You may wanna see the item attributes defined for your item.
If it is a custom item of type 'none', then check the following:
* go to Navigator, pull up the item through search, and click Edit in front of the item types.
* now click the second tab (Attributes)
* see if the item has in its attribute properties Plsql Execute Options listed or not.
In order to process a text using pl/sql commands we should have a PLSQL Execute option in this list of attribute properties.
one other way to test it is to just write some simple statement like the following within the <oracle> tabs and see if your item responds.
<oracle>
declare
v_user varchar2(10):=portal.wwctx_api.get_user;
begin
htp.p(v_user||'<br>');
end;
</oracle>hope that helps.

HTML Page skins and content layouts

We're running Portal 10.1.4 and trying to use page skins and content layouts to override the portal-generated html to comply with our accessibility standards.
Portal still inserts some of its html, even though I attach my own html templates to the region and page.
For example: it surrounds each item in my regions with another HTML table, and throws in an iframe tag with some custom JS.
Our templates do not use tables for layout, but the html code Portal inserts in between is breaking our pages.
Any thoughts?

That's what I was afraid of too. I just took some Oracle training on Portal, and when I asked our instructor about this particular issue, he kind of dodged the question.
I'll look into the docs some more for the custom renderers.... but won't it do what HTML content layouts already do for you?
I looked at the W3C WCAG, Oracle claims Portal is AA compliant (Priority Level 1 and 2)
Priority 1:
5.1 For data tables, identify row and column headers.
5.2 For data tables that have two or more logical levels of row or column headers, use markup to associate data cells and header cells.
I don't think Portal includes the row and column identifiers.
Priority 2:
Do not use tables for layout unless the table makes sense when linearized. Otherwise, if the table does not make sense, provide an alternative equivalent (which may be a linearized version).
5.4 If a table is used for layout, do not use any structural markup for the purpose of visual formatting.
I don't think the tables, when linearized, will make sense to Screen Readers, especially if the page design contains many regions. (ie nested tables) We've tried the JAWS screen reader in the past, and it red across table columns, not down. (problem when you have a 3-column layout, the reader reads the first text item in the first column, then jumps over to the first line of text in the middle content column and so on...)

Applying HTML Content Templates to Builtin Item Types

Using 10.1.4,
Is there any way of applying HTML Content Templates to the Builtin Item Types, e.g. Page Path, it doesn't appear to work if you set the attribute to use the template on the region settings?

The Builtin Item Types are indeed not affected by the HTML Content Layout. This is an undocumented feature in the product. A documentation bug has been logged to get it amended in the Portal documentation :
Bug 5581113 : DOCUMENT RESTRICTION FOR HTML CONTENT LAYOUTS AND BUILT-IN NAVIGATION ITEMS

AP Elements & Layout Tables

1. AP Div is creating the Box at the top of the page and not
where drawn, also not displaying formatting, positioning
coordinates are where I want the positioning, but DW Cs3 is
ignoring it.
2. Css formating is not showing in DW, only in IE
3. Layout tables, DW is not accepting the table, ignores the
action.
The above may be related to each other, that is why I mention
all of it.

Huh?
In my opinion, there are three serious problems with Layout
Mode -
1. Perhaps most importantly, it sits between you and *real*
HTML tables,
and fools you into believing that concepts like "layout cell"
and
"autostretch" really mean something. They do not. As long as
you use
Layout Mode, you'll never learn one of the most important
things for new web
developers - how to build solid and reliable tables.
2. Actually, #1 wouldn't be *so* bad, except that the code
that is written
by Layout Mode is really poor code. For example, a layout
table contains
MANY empty rows of cells. This can contribute to a table's
instability.
In addition, if your initial positioning of the table's cells
is a bit
complex,
Layout Mode will throw in col- and rowspans aplenty as it
merges and splits
cells willy-nillly to achieve the pixel-perfect layout you
have specified.
Again,
this is an extremely poor method for building stable tables,
because it
allows
changes in one tiny cell's shape (i.e, dimensions) to ripple
through the
rest
of the table, usually with unexpected and sometimes
disastrous consequences.
This is one of the primary reasons for the final result's
fragility - read
this -
http://apptools.com/rants/spans.php
3. The UI for Layout Mode is beyond confusing - many options
that you might
want to use are inaccessible, e.g., inserting another table,
or layer onto
the page.
I can understand the new user's desire to use this tool to
make their life
easier,
but the cost is just too heavy in my opinion.
To make good tables, keep it simple. Put a table on the page,
and begin to
load your content. If you would want a different table
layout, instead of
merging or splitting cells, consider stacking tables or
nesting simple
tables instead, respectively.
And above all, do not try to build the whole page with a
single table!
Luckily, Adobe understands the problems created for the
unsuspecting user
who falls into this trap, and has elected to remove this
feature altogether
from the next version of DW. The time is right for you to
begin working
with tables properly!
To read more about this approach, visit the DW FAQ link in my
sig, and run
through the table tutorials.

Dreamweaver: can i insert a background image in a layout table?

i'm using a layout table and i can't figure out how to put a
non-repeating image into the background of my layout table. is this
possible? i need to center it too.

Before anything else, I would say DON'T USE LAYOUT MODE.

Urgent help needed!! Layout table and Draw layout cell dissapeared.

I need some urgent help. I'm using CS3 but for a while my
Layout Table and Draw Layout Cell icons appear greyed and can't use
them at all. Is there any kind soul out there who knows how to fix
this? I'm going nuts trying all the possible options but none seem
to work.
Help please!!!!!!

> How would you about designing a page without using html?
You don't. But I don't recall suggesting that you not use
HTML. I just
suggested that you use best-practice HTML, no? Or maybe you
meant to ask
how you would go about building your site without learning
HTML? In that
case, I think you are outta luck. Using DW without knowing
HTML is a very
punishing experience, I'm afraid.

SSRS 2008 R2 report does not print the page header for a html content displaying on multiple pages

Hi
I need to display the html content from the database. The html content are quite long and can have content of 3-5 pages. Issue I am facing is f the record has html content of 3-5 pages, then it does not print the page header (which is a separate tablix) on
second page onwards.

Hi Nikesh,
According to your description, I’m not sure the meaning of Page header in your scenario. In Reporting Services, a page header that run along the top of each page, respectively. Headers can contain static text, images, lines, rectangles, borders, background
color, background images, and expressions. But we couldn’t add tablix in the page header.
If you are saying report header, a report header consists of the report items that are placed at the top of the report body on the report design surface. They appear only once as the first content in the report. So it cannot repeat in other pages.
If you are saying tablix header, freezing column headers are different in table and matrix. For more details, please refer to the following thread:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/c8ddc1af-1bdf-4e72-8aab-0353c7cc848a/ssrs-report-freezing-row-and-column-while-scrolling-issue?forum=sqlreportingservices
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

SSRS 2008 R2 report prints empty spaces for html content till end of page

Hi
I need to display records containing long html content say each record of different size ranging from 5 lines to 3-5 pages.
Issue observed is:
When a record complete is printing say half the page and subsequent record is bigger then half a page, the subsequent record is printed on the next page rather than continue immediately after the previous record is completed.
Is their any property or any other solution to resolve the issue. Print on next page is not set.
Nikesh Shah

Hi Nikesh,
As per my understanding, I think the issue is caused by the blank space in the report body. In order to get rid of the blank space when print the report, please refer to the following steps:
Click on Report > Report Properties > Layout tab
Make a note of the values for Page width, Left margin, Right margin
Close and go back to the design surface
In the Properties window, select Body
Click the + symbol to expand the Size node
Make a note of the value for Width
Please check the Page Break settings on all your report items and make sure the Body Width + Left margin + Right margin less than or equal to Page width, just like the equalities below:
(Body Width + Left margin + Right margin) <= (Page width)
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Best practice for sharing html content on different group spaces?

How can html content be shared between several group spaces?
One way I have found is to add a html doc to ucm and then to add this doc as a iframe to a page.
Are there other ways, like adding on one group space page a html layout element and then to view this content in a different space. How could this be done, with an expression language reference?
Has someone experience in presenting the same html content on different spaces and can share how he does it. Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks,
Max

Hey Max,
Check out our technical whitepaper on Integrating ECM with Portal Technologies.
Our "Fishbowl Portlets" allow you to share any content - HTML, WYSIWYG user generated content, documents etc - in multiple contexts (portlets, web apps, etc).
This is one of the things that we showcased as the recent Collaborate conference in Vegas - WebCenter framework, UCM and the portlets surfacing the same items in different contexts - all personalization aware, configurable and end user/super user editable.
The white paper can be found here:
http://www.fishbowlsolutions.com/StellentSolutions/ContentManagementResources/index.htm
A blog post on it can be found here:

How to attach HTML content to DMS Document?

Hello,
I have a requirement in which I have to make a HTML file which contains the current Dispaly on screen, I have to attach this HTML file inside the DMS document.
For this I am doing following steps.
1 ) FM SAVE_LIST
2) FM WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT, form this FM I am getting the Internal table which is containing the HTML content.
a) I am converting this internal table content ot first in XSTRING using FM SCMS_TEXT_TO_XSTRING
b) And XSTRING to Binary format.
3) After this I am creating a DMS cocument using FM CVAPI_DOC_CREATE
3) After DMS document creation I am using FM CVAPI_DOC_CHECKIN to attach HTML file content to this DMS Document.
Everthing seems to be ok, but when I am using CV03N to view the document, its showing the HTML file bu not showing the original content(HTML)
Please help to find the problem, Is there any other way from which I could CHECKIN HTML content directly inside DMS document in HTML form without converting it to binary.

HI,
I have not understood the requirement.
As far as I know, HTML need not to be checked in.
Refer also link below
Re: some questions on SAP DMS
May be useful in choice of FM.
