I have made a blog about Web templates...please have a look

Hello Everyone,
In my quest to make web templates I could not find a whole lot of relevant info. I feel like I am flying blind. I had asked, in a previous thread, for anybody with knowledge on making templates to share this info. Well, we did not get a whole lot.
So, I have decided to make a public spectacle of my adventure in creating them. Please visit the blog, and please chime in if you have relevant info, or questions (please note though, any questions may not be answered right away. At least not by me-'cause as of right now I have no answers LOL). The more people that participate the faster we will all learn how to do this.
http://lrwebtemplates.blogspot.com/
My goal is to create a pdf of this knowledge once we have ironed out out all the bugs. Thanks for looking. And thanks in advance for any help/participation in the effort.

Thanks for doing this, Paul. Hopefully you'll get some useful stuff to add to it soon. A n additional item is the entry on Goerge Jardine's Lightroom Journal from Andrew Rahn. Nothing new there for us who have worked on trying to figure thsi stuff out and hardly the direction I had hoped things would go, but maybe it will lead to more in the future.

Changes made in the WAD web template is not replicating on web browser

Hi,
We are using BI 7.0 WAD. Suppose if i create a one web template and if i run it ...it is working fine.
If i change the present web template and if i do change anything on the present web template and if run this web template it is giving the previous result....it is not reflecting the present changes.
The changes made in the WAD web template is not replicating on web browser result.
Thanks in adv

Just to add.
WAD templates are stored as HTML in the HTTP cache.
Whenever you make changes to the template - it is good practice to delete / invalidate the HTTP Server cache.
This can be done from
SMICM --> Goto (menu bar ) --> HTTP Server cache --> Invalidate --> GLobal
ust to make this thread complete..
However this is usually done for 3.x web templates since they run off the ABAp stack - not too sure about the JAVA stack - guess portal cache has to be cleared too..

I went to transaction SMICM, then choose "Goto" from the top menu. From there, go to HTTP Server Cache, then choose Invalidate, then choose Global in system. With this thing also it didnt slove.
thanks

Clear your browser cache also and see if the changes are visible.....

About web templates inside the portal

Hi !
I need your help because I would like to do something and I cant do it, even after reading a lot of documentation.
I would like to display my lovely web templates (made with the Web Application Designer) inside the portal, through the BI > Bex Web Analyzer. But there, I can only open queries, views and infoproviders.
Is there an easy way to display my web templates in the portal ?
Thanks for your help,
Best regards.

Hi Cedric,
The setting of web templates for BEX is available in BI.
You can check IMG setting in the SPRO transaction, setting up the BEX templates.
There you can define the tchnical name of the template.
After the changes been done, remember to restart the ABAP stack.
Regards,
Prashil

Web template - please wait message.

I have developed a (default)web template which contains a button to change the number of decimal places for all of the cells within a query.
In the case of an extremely large query (that requires 1500 individual commands to change all of the key fields) the javascript, once executed when the user presses the button, can take quiet a bit of time.
What I'd like is a pop up asking the user to wait, similar to the pop-up you get if you click on the 'drilldown' button within the Navigational Block. Does anyone know how I could do this outside of the table interface.
Thanks
Shep.

Neal,
I must have lost the plot...but if its just a pop up window you want why don't you just code into the javascript to open a bsp which has some type of message saying that it can take a while for the operation to complete?

De-Facto instructions for Creating Web Templates, PLEASE

Hello All,
I am adept at HTML, and am ok with Java. I have hand coded my entire site. And hand created very intricate web templates to use in Breeze Browser.
Now, trying to fully incorporate LR into my work flow, I am finding it frustrating to find GOOD instructions for creating my own web templates. I have followed several links, read what was said, read forum posts. But to be honest, there just is no good 1 stop source for the busy person to learn how to do this.
I am asking that someone, very knowledgeable in creating web templates, for both PC and MAC, please put together a well outlined post describing every step needed to do this. And then have the forum moderators make the post sticky so that it is easily accessible.
This is very important if LR is going to fit into many working pros current work flows. PLEASE somebody do this.
I will be eternally great full!!!!
Thank you in advance for any kind soul who considers doing this

Hello Paul,
You're not the only one... I know of several people who are waiting for decent documentation of the XML/XSLT mechanisms so that we can create templates for our custom web sites. My own needs happen to be very simple, but frustratingly difficult to achieve (or maybe I'm trying the wrong approach).
All I want is a file called index.txt that contains a title for the gallery and a list of thumbnails and full size images, and then I want the thumbnails and images all in the same directory and named in a specific way (no spaces and 't_' prefixes on the thumbnails). Trivial in BreezebrowserPro, but so far I haven't managed it with LR (mind you my XSLT knowledge is virtually non-existent).
This is the only thing that's holding me up purchasing LR.
Cheers,
Simon

Create a custom web template using VS 2012 with web features,site features sections applied

hi,
Want to create a custom web template using VS 2012 in my SP 2013 environment. i know "Vesku" has posted a great artice on this [ based on prev. version of SP].
here -
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/vesku/archive/2010/10/14/sharepoint-2010-and-web-templates.aspx
i am looking for a code based article which has step by step process which provides how to add the site features, web features and attach the eventreceivers etc etc on sitecollection creation when i apply this template from central admin.
can anyone provide me any links / any source how to create a custom web template with one / two custom features - site features element and web features element , / master page etc ....
I am stuck with this. as part of my reqmnt, i need to create a webtemplate with all the customlistinstances, custompagelayouts, custom masterpages, custom appln pages, custom web parts.
help is appreciated !
Das

The problem is that Web Templates are deployed to a gallery in a site collection and aren't available in Central Admin when creating a new site collection. YOu have to create the site collection without choosing a template and then choose your web
template when you first access the root site in the site collection. Here's an article that discusses that process here:
http://sharepointchick.com/archive/2011/02/10/using-web-templates-to-create-site-collections.aspx
Other than that Vesa's article is still the best one and works essentially the same in 2013 as it does in 2010.

Modifying a web template

Can anyone describe to me the way to find a web template file? I would like to modify one of the templates with this script
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> var loginname = top.theApplication().GetProfileAttr("Login Name"); document.cookie = 'siebeluserid='+loginname </SCRIPT>
I need this client side cookie with the username so I can monitor the sessions by username in Real User Experience Insight. The first Siebel request from the browser after the SSO authentication is /emedical_enu/start.swe
Thanks-
John

Hi John,
You may need to add the script in the Home Page Web Template. From the looks of it you are using the Siebel Life Sciences (correct me if I am wrong) Application.
The web template file for the Login Page will be: SWELogin.swt
The web template file for the main landing page on successful login will be: LS_View_25_50_25.swt
Let me know if you need any clarifications,
With Regards,
Tanmay Jain

Dreamweaver Web Templates

A friend, recently graduated doctor, has asked me to help with his web site. I can dabble with Dreamweaver but I don’t consider my self to be an expert. So I am thinking of suggesting that he purchase a web site template and then I can make the necessary changes.
This Web is designed to sell Medical Remedy Kits. There Kits are for various ailments, Cold, Flu, Diarrhea, etc. If you know a place where I can buy (or get it free) a web template, please let me know. The template web site should be easily modifiable & able to the do the following:
-         The Web Site Template should be clean and geared towards medical applications
-         Easy to modify
-         Catchy
-         Able to display Medical Remedy Kits in the products page
-         On-Line Ordering
-         PayPal Payments
-         Print shipping manifests
-         Online Shipping
-         Shipping/Tracking Number information generated and sent to the customer
-         Inventory (It will be nice feature)
I can’t think of anything else but there are probably many more features out there which others are using. Your suggestions are highly appreciated.
Can you suggest where I can look for such a Web Template?
Jenn

Jenn,
That's a tall wish list. For the sake of this discussion let's define what a Template is. A purchased template is not much more than a CSS or table based framework and image files. Some of the better templates come with PSD files you can modify in Photoshop, too. But honestly, there's no such thing as a "magic Template" that can do everything you want out of the box.
How good are you with server-side programming languages and databases? Which languages does your server support - PHP, ASP, ColdFusion....? For an E-commerce solution that integrates very well with DW, look at http://Cartweaver.com.
Good luck with your project,
Nancy O.

Bex iView does not show changes made in web templates

Hello,
I have a Bex iView that presents a web template which is exposed in two portals.
I made a certain change in the web template in portal A and I can see the change through the Bex iView in this portal.
I than transfered the change to portal B and I can see this change at the Web application designer's code when it is connected to portal B.
The problem is that I can't see the change through the Bex iView in portal B, it keeps presenting the old version of the web template. Also, if I preview it from WAD, which opens it in the portal, it shows the old version as well.
<b>I've already tried/verified the following:</b>
1. It's not a client related issue as it happens to all clients.
2. I have tried clearing both the client and the portal's pcd caches.
3. No cache whatsoever is configured in this iView's properties (Cache Level: None, Cache Validity Period: 0,0,0,-1, Allow Client-Side Caching: No).
4. When I run the iView in debug mode in the application integrator I can't see anything unusual I can think of. Also, I can see there that it points to the correct web template.
5. Retransported the web template from server A to server B.
What else can be done here? Any ideas...?

Hello,
did you resolve your problem ?

Hi,
Have you upgraded Apex?
I assume you use XE EPG.
Have you grant execute privilege on procedure to DAD user ANONYMOUS?
GRANT EXECUTE ON WOLF_22.HELLO_WORLD TO ANONYMOUS;Have you changed wwv_flow_epg_include_mod_local that it allow execute WOLF_22.HELLO_WORLD?
And write schema.procedure at upper case to function.
If you have not upgraded Apex, run as SYS or SYSTEM
CREATE OR REPLACE function FLOWS_020100.wwv_flow_epg_include_mod_local(
    procedure_name in varchar2)
return boolean
is
begin
    -- Administrator note: the procedure_name input parameter may be in the format:
    --    procedure
    --    schema.procedure
    --    package.procedure
    --    schema.package.procedure
    -- If the expected input parameter is a procedure name only, the IN list code shown below
    -- can be modified to itemize the expected procedure names. Otherwise you must parse the

About the top N condition in WAD web template

Hi all experts,
I'm facing a problem in my WAD web template. Hope you guys can give me a hand.
In my web template, there is analysis item A and B.
Table A are used to display top 3 customers(char) with highest purchase rate % (KF), I'm using top N condition to select top 3 customers.
And table B is to show all customers with purchase rate, sorted from highest purchase rate to lowest (logic:- sort the KF(purchase rate) in descending order)
The problem is when there is many customers with purchase rate = 100%(more than 20 customers), then for the 1st-3rd customers of table A and B, the selected and sorted customers results are not the same, shouldn't that they should be identical for the 1st three rows as they are trying to show customers with highest purchase rate? even though table A is using top 3 condition and table B is using descending sorting for purchase rate.
For example:- Top 3 customers in table A and all customers in table B
Table A
Customer       Purchase rate
c3                  100%
c1                  100%
c5                  100%
Table B
Customer    Purchase rate
c2              100%
c3              100%
c4              100%
c1              100%
c5              100%
c6              81%
c7              58%
In this example, table a and b have selected different customers for 1st to 3rd position, i'm trying to make them showing identically. Any suggestion?
Perhaps you guys can give me some idea on how does the top N condition determine the TOP 3 customers if there is many customers with 100% purchase rate as in this case.
Thanks a lot,
Eric

When u create conditions, you have tab called CHARACTERISTIC ASSIGNEMENT.& other is GENERAL..which is like in what way you want to create conditions i.e based on which characteristic or whole characteristic in rows etc...you try choosing those option in that tab, so that you can find some ideas..

Blog Web Template

Hi,
I am working on a web template based on a blog. I built a project in visual studio using the web template feature. I am able to deploy the solution and create a site based off the blog template. However, I am wanting modify the default.aspx page. Along with
modifying it, I am wanting to apply a page layout to the default, category, and post.aspx page for a consistent look and feel. I started with one default aspx page on the solution and added the category filter web part in. When I went to deploy, the web part
was only appended to the bottom of the page.
Is it possible to apply page layouts to blog web templates?
What is the best approach to modifying the .aspx pages since these pages are generated?
Thanks,
Joe
