I Need More Design Flexibility!!!

Hi,
Am I crazy? Are the declarative tools for putting together portal pages really as limited as they seem? Is there something I'm missing or a miracle cure? What do I need to do to align a series of images together to form a banner, without spaces in between them? This would be simple with HTML or CSS, but in Portal it's a nightmare!
If I'm not crazy and things the tools are truly limited (and limiting), what are the alternatives? Do I need to create custom portlets to getting the layout and formatting that I want/need???
Thanks for any and all help!!!

hi davd,
you have full flexibility in portal. there is a feature called unstructured UI templates that allow you to write your custom HTML template and embedd portal tags that get rendered at runtime. this allows you to do whatever a HTML webdesigner wants to but add dynamic portal content to it. you can base a portal page on such a UI template.
we are providing extensions to dreamweaver MX that you can use to design portal UI templates in dreamweaver and deploy them on your portal system. for more information on this check out portalcenter.oracle.com - integration solutions or directly http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDP/POINTHOME/ORACLEASPORTAL.ZIP
for more information on which portal substitution tags are available for use in the UI templates please check out the portal help.
you can find the unstructured UI templates in portal under navigator - providers - locally build providers - shared components - user interface templates. this will change in a future release to be directly available in the shared components of a page group.
regards,
christian

    Hi, I'm creating an ibook in iphoto and need more design options.  Someone said there was a program called "Keynote" on my new imac.  If so, how do I find it?

    This application is very well available, just not preinstalled on your mac.
    It costs $19 dollars on the Mac app store and is worth every penny.

  • NEED more than 15 menu item in Context Menu ????

    Hi,
    I really need to have more than 15 menu item displayed on Context Menu. I desperately need some workaround or ideas to achieve this
    My client has invested thousands of dollar in Flex Project, he definitely need more than 15 menu item.If this project failed , client will NEVER think to invest in flex.
    Had I been  aware of this limitation before I would have thought some solution by now.This comes as a surprise to me at the last moment ,just fews days before Prod Date.
    I cant also user java Scrip heck  as my Flex application is running inside Dot net Container , I do not access to the luxury of java script
    Pls gents help me get rid of this ...PLEASE provide some ideas.
    Thanks in advance.
    Thanks,
    Dharmendra

    Thanks Natasha,
    I got your point  but as for as I  know grouping like Quality is not possibel in Flax Context menu. I also cant go for window style menu(file,edit) because I need them to be displyed on DataGrid right clk . I am designing a trade datagrid where in trader can see all trades and he can approve/reject etc by just right clk and  selcting proper menu item form Context Menu.
    In case of window style (acrobat.com) menu trader will have to reach to  menu instead of  getting all options on mouse right clk
    I will have to think other alternative wich provides same ease as cotext menu.(God knows what is that )
    Once again thanks for suggestion.

  • Need more basic information

    I have the opportunity to teach a bunch of students at my school Flash.  I am NOT a Flash programmer.  I am/was a C/Unix and VB programmer.  So, I have 4-5 months to LEARN everything I need to learn (of course, I will continue to learn while I am teaching but I will have more time now) by then.  So, I started with the trial products.
    I then looked at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/testdrive/articles/1_build_a_flex_app.html
    and it seems they are "assuming" a certain setup and knowledge.
    1) They talked about a MYSQL database.  So, does that mean I have to install MYSQL on my computer?
    2) Then they talked about a webserver.  Does that mean I need that installed too?
    3) They talked about
    I just think they should put "prerequisites" at the beginning of it.
    I really need more information about EACH project that is related to FLASH.  What basic information do I need, what do I really need to learn this stuff quickly and easily?
    NOTE: I posted this in Flex, but I really need information about EACH product related to FLASH, since that is what I will be teaching.  I will be teaching both the programming/designing part of Flash.
    Thank you all for any help you can give me!!!

    See past threads about how to learn about Flex.
    Try asking on Flash community forums.  I think there is a FlashCoders yahoo
    group.

  • Need more info about "NestedContainer" violation

    Hello,
    I have a "NestedContainer" violation for a Canvas container in my application. Compared to the application's root container it is located at level 6 i.e. nested in 5 other parent containers. However at the same time I have other containers (again Canvases) which are even deeper nested for example at level 8 compared to the root container.
    I need more information when exactly the "NestedContainer" violation is triggered so I fix my code if needed and submit a bug for FlexPMD in case the rule is not implemented as designed.
    Thanks!
    Smirnoff

    Hi
    I would like to share an example but I need to create it since I don't want to post the actual source code.
    Simply copying the problem mxml file under another name doesn't work because it is put outside its container and then the violation is not generated.
    If I have to create an example it might be too time consuming to achieve these:
    - keep the same component hierarchy
    - keep the problem present
    - keep the example clean from the real source code
    That's why I wanted to get more info when this violation is triggered and hopefully create an example faster.

  • Skills Needed to Design either: Quake, Quake II, Q3A, Unreal,  oUnreal 2003

    I'm wondering, what kinds of skills do you need to design first person shooter games like those? For any of you who have designed them, would you need to be very familiar with linear algebra/abstract math/matrix theory type things? How advanced would you need to be in physics? Would you have to be a genius to design those kinds of games, or could you just do it with hard work and a little bit of help from the API? What are your thoughts.

    To design the games or to actually write them?
    You probably need lots of playing experience and some creativity, as well as knowledge of the limits on your 3D engine in order to design a good game on paper.
    To actually write one, you'd probably need:
    - 2D, 3D and sound editors, as well as code to load those files
    - A system for representing the world and the various objects (enemies, powerups, misc. objects) within it, and a level editor to create these worlds easily; probably you'll also need a simple trigger-based scripting system for scripted missions where things happen after the player completes a goal
    - Knowledge of general 3D graphics theory: the rendering pipeline, transformation matrices, multitexturing, various types of light sources, vertex shaders (?), special effects (fog, shadows, water waves, transparent bitmaps for fire/rain/explosions, etc)
    - A good enough representation of physical objects that you can prevent them from going through each other (this is harder if they are arbitrary 3D meshes), and calculate their new velocity and position each frame based on gravity, friction, and interactions with other objects (probably using conservation of momentum or kinetic energy)
    - An AI system for enemies: probably a finite state machine which can give them various goals/missions, and pathfinding and weapon targetting routines
    - Miscellaneous user interface features: a minimap/radar, a way of selecting weapons, a main menu and level selector/loader, code to serialize/deserialize the game state for saving a game, code for networking (probably using UDP).
    A good book on creating games would probably contain most of the things you'd need. I've seen many of these. Check Amazon or your local book store maybe.
    I don't think a simple first person shooter with most of the main features of Quake or Unreal would be hard to make. However those designers had two things that made the games successful and would be very hard for a single person to do alone:
    1) Time. Lots of it to add details, fix bugs, create artwork/sound, design challenging levels, and even write and document all the basic routines and object libraries that make up the game.
    2) Heavy optimization. Those games look good because almost everything is optimized to go the fastest it can, so there can be more polygons, larger textures, more special effects, more objects and particles, larger levels, and so on. A game with the same gameplay/strategy features as Quake or Unreal but with 3-4 times lower polygon count, blurrier textures, many of the particle effects gone, and smaller levels would be a lot less successful.

  • Hp needs to design the following else you are gonna get left behind...

    I have used a lot of hp products but am now in search of what I ideally need and I find myself going to other companies and I think that is sad so being fond of  HP products..... loyalty counts....I think CEOs need to go out there and listen to the customers what they want.   Would your child not want quality and ease of use. You gotta listen to those who make a reality check....like the following.......today's need..it is performance and ease of use with lot of easy functions.... cut the crap and
    come up with the following ....
    laptop:
    sandy bridge processor....no touchscreen but 1920X1200 display...fingerprint reader and removable touchpad.....illuminated keyboard.... fantastic graphics card 680... 12 gb ram as standard max 24   todays applications need more.     256 ssd....forget 128...a superb camera   2m pixel....you have a winner....and you should give the option to the customer to go higher on the screen display like apple's retina display resolution.
    If you look at the best.....the follow them....
    you need to design a tablet like the apple ipad 3 4g 64gb and design a joining keyboard like that of logitech ultrathin keyboard for ipad 2/3....you can do better by illuminating that keyboard.....you need to do things that are ahead of the game ......I know it makes sense but the question is..........is  this making sense to you and is there a desire to build good quality stuff......what's HP going to do now...canon's printing products are getting way ahead..........get a move on......This is a new ballgame here......and I am not a ordinary jack ass siiting here blowing my time. In fact I write from an HP product....there is nothing in the market like the Hp 2310ea....thus the loyalty and screw the masters degree from A great Institution and all that crap....though education counts.....its the experience of sitting here wanting the ideal product. I have given you what is an ideal product.....quality has to be there like samsung apple and toshiba.... please pass this onto the product innovation team ....or are they sitting lame ducks.....if so contact Meg and tell her to GET ON THE BAND WAGON.......ELSE YOU ARE TOAST     as a matter of fact the capitalised should be slogan at HP...people will get a move on...

    I assume you have a 2008-2009 inbody MBP.
    What OS are you using?
    In Disk Utility, what does it say next to S.M.A.R.T. status?
    Go to iFixit.com and look up your exact model and determine if they have the correct Optical Drive available and the instructions for installing it.  (They probably will)
    If you are handy, open your MBP and with the installation instructions from iFixit, take out your Optical Drive.  Open it up (I think there should be 4 screws that will have to be removed) and remove the Disk.  With a couple of cans of good quality non-residue electrical cleaner and a soft artists brush, clean out the hot chocolate residue from the Optical drive.  Put it back in and if you are very lucky, it may actually work.  If not, get a replacement from iFixit or any body else that sells them.
    Hints.  Use good quality tools.  The iFixit website should tell you what tools you will need.  Do this on a clean towel so that any screws that you drop will not bounce away.  Keep all of them organized.  Before you take out any screws, mentally prepare your self for what has to be done and in what order.
    Let me know how you do.
    Ciao.

  • I need more space on my iPad 2 and want to move my photos to iCloud where I have a lot of available space.

    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • How large of a hard drive can I install on dual G5, and do I need more RAM?

    I recently had a situation in which my dual-processor 2.0 G5 was completely refurbished by Apple repair-new logic board, both processors, video card, thermistor, all new. Finally it has been working well after a month of trips back and forth from the Apple store. I have two internal hard drives installed on my G5, both 300GB, one for OS applications, and one for audio. I am running out of space on my main hard drive, and so I recently purchased a Maxtor 1TB hard drive, now manufactured by Seagate, from Fry's. After having my G5 refurbished, I was having an issue with my Samsung 930B monitor going into sleep mode when I boot-up from a CD, but other than that G5 was working fine. I removed the main 300GB hard drive from slot #1 and put it into slot #2, from which I had removed my audio hard drive. I installed the Maxtor drive in slot #1 and reformatted it for Mac using my laptop with ATA/USB cables previously purchased for data transfer. This took about 14 hours as I used the "zeros" option. After that I hooked up the internal cables to both drives and tried to boot up from Leopard in order to install it on the Maxtor drive, but again my monitor went into to sleep mode. We went to the Apple store to try to see if there was an issue with the computer, but everything worked fine with their monitors and CD's, as well as my CD. So there is some kind of issue with my monitor, probably software as it works fine when booting up from the main hard drive, and also was fine when I did its self-test function. While at the Apple store, they installed Leopard from their hard drive which took about 30 minutes.
    My problem is this: When I arrived home, I turned on my G5, which had been set to boot from my new Maxtor drive and complete the Leopard setup process, which we had decided to do at home as it would have taken another 20 minutes in the Apple store. The G5 turned on, chimed, I got the Apple screen with the wheel, but then after that my monitor goes into sleep mode. I can hear Leopard's setup intro playing through the speakers, but the screen is in sleep mode. So I reboot holding down the option key so I can boot up from my old (300GB) main hard drive, now in slot #2. This works and the monitor screen does not go to sleep. However, as I am browsing on the web to check for issues concerning this monitor, the G5 freezes, and I get a screen with black bars with writing in them and various technical language across the screen. This happened several times after rebooting. Finally I shut the computer down. I am going to try removing the new hard drive and putting both old ones back in and see if the G5 stops crashing. I think the monitor issue is a separate issue, and I am more concerned with the crashing, as previous to the new hard drive installation the G5 was working fine, monitor fine, other than the issue when booting up from a CD. Do I need more memory? Is the 1TB hard drive too large for my dual-processor 2.0 G5 and overloading it? Would I be better off with a 500GB drive? Would appreciate advice from persons with experience in this area. Thank you.

    I have replaced my 5 year old G5 with a Mac Pro, as the G5 just had too many issues, even after replacing all major components (logic board, both processors, video card, etc.) Once I took out the 1 TB hard drive from my old G5, it stopped having the kernel panic issue. Nonetheless I had been through a lengthy repair process previous to this issue, so I didn't care to trust an older machine any longer, especially since being told by an Apple tech that the "new" parts were really just older parts stockpiled from a central location. Could be new, could be refurbished. Apple was kind enough to credit the money we had spent on the G5 repairs towards the purchase of my Mac Pro.

  • I am getting a warning need more space on my disk. I have checked the Console and there have been 4000 thousand messages in my system log in the last 2 days. I have emptied as many files as possible.

    Hi
    I am getting a warning on opening my mac saying I need more space as my setup disk is full.  I have emptied many files as well as my Trash.  I am planning to get an external drive for my photos, but it has been suggested that I check Console and under the system log the following message (of which they say 4000 messages have been logged in 2 days) '06/06/2014 16:08:23.341 com.apple.dynamic_pager: dynamic_pager: Need more space on the disk to enable swapping'.  This is a copy of one of the items.  It is from the system log.  I really do not think I have enough files to warrant this warning, with the exception of photos.  My storage shows 143 MB free out of 120.47. Thanks for any help.

    First off, no MacBook Air can run 10.3 or earlier.
    Secondly, are you sure you only have 143MB of storage free?  That's seriously low.  With MacBook Airs of 120 GB hard drives, or even 140 GB which is often the case when it says out of 120, you shouldn't allow your free space to go down below 20 GB.  MB is 1024 fold less than a GB.  So if you really have 143MB free on a MacBook Air, you are long past the minimum space you should be keeping it at, and need to start clearing a lot of space now*:

    I'm asking this thread be moved to the MacBook Air forum,a as we can't say for certain what you have when you post in the 10.3 or earlier forum.

  • PS CC Says I need more than 512 Vram ...

    I was using Photoshop last night just to prep a couple of photos for class submission (3 pictures, just reducing their size for web consumption), and I got the message stating that I needed more than 512 Megs of Vram, which was odd to me, as I have 1024 Dedicated available on my video card. I don't run a dual monitor setup any longer, but I do have an ASUS PBs278 that's running at 2560 X 1440. My current graphics card is an ATI Radeon 6800 HD, and my windows 7 system is running on 8 gigs of ram. Up till within the last week, CC has worked just fine, but the other day on boot, it took an unusually long time to get into the software. It eventually did, and I'm wondering if that was an update or some such that's now made the software decree that if it doesn't have the 512 it thinks it should have, the 3d functions won't happen. I don't know if it's a consequence of the larger quantity of pixels being pushed, or if it's the video card getting too old to support CC at such a high resolution now, but some help would be amazing.

    Windows 7, 64 bit. I haven't been able to replicate the error, but I have the new drivers as well. I hope this just ends up being a fluke.
