Iphoto 11 Custom layout tab

In Iphoto 11, when making a photo book, how to you use the custom layout tab? It is only available in certain themes, like photo essay and picture book, but when I try to use it, the boxes remain blue and do not show the photos that I place.

Here the are:
You can "adjust" a photo frame or text box size on a page with the following key combinations:
Command + Option +⬆arrow: increase frame height.
Command + Option +⬇arrow: decrease frame height.
Command + Option + ➜ arrow: increase frame width.
Command + Option + ⬅ arrow: decrease frame width.
To adjust its position on the page use these key combinations:
Command + Control + ➜ arrow: move frame to right.
Command + Control + ⬅ arrow: move frame to left.
Command + Control + ⬆ arrow: rotate frame counter clockwise.
Command + Control + ⬇ arrow: rotate frame clockwise.
You can conver the standard frame (on the left) to this one (on the right)

Report with custom layout - formatting conditions

Hi,
There's a report with custom layout. What I need is to format some cells depending on the data they contain(like different background color). There's a tab named "Formatting Conditions" which should be meant for doing this and it works perfectly when report has tabular layout. But nothing happens in case of custom layout. Should this be done then in the "Report Layout Editor" and with Javascript? Portal version is 3.0.9.8.0.
Thanks in advance,
Madis

Hi,
Some condtions like background color do not work in custom mode reports. This is because in case of custom reports the table html is specified by the user and the report renderer has no control over it.
Hope this helps.

Hello,
I was able to use your custom ribbon tab XML just fine. The only thing is, the copy you provided had a bunch of illegal characters embedded in it (like reverse quotes?), I'm not sure if they're showing up in your version of the XML or not. Anyway,
after replacing those with straight quotes and fixing some other misc formatting, it worked fine. I created an empty SharePoint project and added an empty element, then added your XML to the Element.xml file. In SP, I created a new custom
list and the "My Tab Name" tab appeared with a button that displayed "Hello World" when I clicked it. So, I recommend checking the formatting of your XML. Just look for red squiggles in the editor and fix them.

How to implement screen exit for a SAP standard transaction
Introduction
SAP provides standard transactions to enter data into database. But a client may want to maintain some additional information in SAP other than what is provided.
To make provisions for this, additional screens have to be provided and additional fields must be added into appropriate database table.
To pave way for this, SAP has provided the option for screen exits. Usually, SAP provides the following:
An append structure in the database table with the new fields.
A subscreen area into the standard screen where the programmer can attach his subscreen of his own program with the new fields.
A function group under which the new subscreen has to be created with the new fields.
Function exits to synchronize the PBO and PAI of the standard SAP program with the PBO and PAI of the subscreen so that data can flow back and forth between the standard SAP program and the program written by the developer for the subscreen. These function modules also exist in the same function group under which the subscreen will have to be developed.
Finally, a linkage has to be done between the subscreen area of standard SAP screen with the custom subscreen constructed by the developer.
Typically, SAP provides an enhancement in which the developer can create an append structure, use the function exits to synchronize the PBO and PAI of the standard SAP program and the custom subscreen program, and make the necessary linking( as mentioned above in step 4. But, again, this is not a hard and fast rule. Linking in some case, is also done by configurations.) SAP also usually provides the name of the function group under which the subscreen has to be developed.
Necessary guidance about implementing a screen exit development is usually available in the Documentation section of the enhancement ( can be availed by transaction SMOD).
Pre-Requisites
The developer to work on screen exit should have essential knowledge on the following:
DDIC concepts, including the knowledge of append structure.
Concept of SAP Enhancements and implementing them using Projects.
Concept of function exits.
Knowledge on Module Pool including subscreens, Tabstrip controls etc.
Steps
Guidelines
So, a developer can follow the guidelines mentioned below to implement a screen exit to a standard SAP transaction, as and when required:
Find out the Required Enhancements
Go to SMOD. Press F4 in the Enhancement field. In the next popup window, click pushbutton SAP Applications. A list will appear that contains information on all the enhancements, categorized under functional areas. Developer must search for the enhancements relevant to his functional area of interest for e.g., Purchasing, Asset Accounting, etc.
Note down the enhancements. Then, come to the initial screen of SMOD and view the documentation of each enhancement to find out which one is required for your development.
Utilize the Enhancement in a Project
After you have found one, do as directed in the documentation. Generally, the steps are as follows:
Create a project using CMOD including your enhancement.
Create the append structure with new fields.
Go to the desired function group and create a subscreen with the new fields. Write PBO and PAI for the subscreen, if required.
Use the function exits in the enhancement to link the PBO and PAI of the subscreen with that of the main SAP program supporting the SAP transaction.
Maintain necessary linkage between the subscreen area of standard SAP program with the custom subscreen developed along with the custom program name. This can be done in the project (developed by CMOD including the enhancement) or outside as a part of configuration.
Activate the project.
Test to ensure that required functionality are met.
Case Study 1
Add three new custom fields for Asset master and maintain information for them
Requirement
Three fields in the legacy system have to be maintained in Asset master. These fields are:
Original Asset number 20 characters
Location 2 15 Characters.
Model no 20 characters
Location 2 should start with L.
Pre-Analysis
Finding out the Enhancement
As described above, the enhancement is determined. It was found, that enhancement AIST0002 will serve the purpose. It contains the following components (can be viewed by transaction SMOD):
Exit Type Description EXIT_SAPL1022_001 Function Exit Check of User-Defined Fields when Using Create and Change BAPI EXIT_SAPLAIST_002 Function Exit Transfer Data for User Subscreens in PBO. EXIT_SAPLAIST_003 Function Exit Transfer of User-Defined Fields to SAP Master Data Transactions CI_ANLU Customizing Include Include structure to add new fields
Studying the Function Exits
The function module level documentation for the function exits are then viewed from transaction SE37. The documentation clearly laid out for the purpose for their use:
EXIT_SAPLAIST_002
Function module Level Documentation
This function module is called by asset master data maintenance at the start of the dialog. (When changing, it is called after reading of the data from the database; when creating it is called after the transfer of the default values from the asset class and reference asset.) The purpose of the function module is to enable this function group to recognize the master data. For interpreting or controlling master data fields that are important for user fields, it is possible to transfer to global variables at this point, so that they can be recognized when the user subscreens are processed.
Import Parameters
Understanding
This function module is called at the PBO to pass the information retrieved from the database to pass them to the custom subscreen and its underlying program. Import parameter : I_ANLU will be populated with the values for user-defined fields which will be passed to the subscreen program. So, there must be some sort of variable assignment from I_ANLU.
EXIT_SAPLAIST_003
Function module Documentation: This function module is called by SAP asset master data maintenance after the screens are processed, but before saving. The purpose of the function module is to transfer fields entered on user sub-screens of SAP asset data maintenance to the database for updating. The export parameter for this function module is:
Understanding
This function module will be used to transfer the user entered data in the subscreen fields to the main SAP program, which will then be saved into the database.
Studying the Documentation of the Enhancement
The enhancement documentation (as is viewed from the initial screen of SMOD] also supports the idea. Moreover, it informs that we need to develop a subscreen under function group XAIS. This is the function group under which the two function exit modules also exist. So, if the custom subscreen refers to the global data of the function group XAIS, then those values will also be available to these function exits as well.
Going to SE80 and viewing the function group XAIS helps us to inform that there are three DDIC tables declared for it:
Deciding the Final course of Action
After making all the investigations, the final course of action was determined.
SrlNo Step Justification
A project has to be created using transaction CMOD where the enhancement AIST0002 will be included.
Customizing include CI_ANLU has to be created with the custom fields demanded When CI_ANLU will be developed, the custom fields will get appended to the database table ANLU. Also, these fields will be used to create screen fields in the new subscreen.
A custom subscreen, say, 9000 will be developed under function group XAIS. The screen group for the screen will be CUST (or any name). The three custom fields added to table ANLU (by creating CI_ANLU) will be used to create new fields in the screen.
In the PAI of the subscreen, validation for Location to start with L will be added. The subscreen with three new fields has to be developed so that it can be attached to a subscreen area of the asset master screens.
In the custom include of the function exit module EXIT_SAPLAIST_002, the following code will be written:-
ANLU = I_ANLU. I_ANLU is the import parameter of this FM. The value is assigned to the global variable ANLU, referring which the three new subscreen fields are developed. So, data retrieved from database table ANLU will be passed to this FM as I_ANLU by the standard SAP main program. The value will be taken and passed to the global variable of the function group XAIS, so that the three custom fields (referring to ANLU of XAIS) get populated.
In the custom include of the function exit module EXIT_SAPLAIST_003, the following code will be written:-
E_ANLU = ANLU. The changed values in the subscreen fields exist in global variable ANLU for the function group XAIS. This function exit module will pass the data back to the SAP main program as E_ANLU.
Proper linkage/configuration has to be done so that the new subscreens get linked to the appropriate subscreen area of the Asset master screen. This has to be done otherwise, the new custom subscreen will not be displayed in the Asset master screens.
Development
Creating a Project to include the enhancement
Go to transaction CMOD and create a project.
Enter a description for the project. Then, click on the pushbutton Enhancement Assignments in the Application Toolbar.
Enter the name of the enhancement and Save.
Go to Components.
Creating Custom Include for ANLU
The screen shown below will appear, showing all the enhancement components under the assignment AIST0002. Double-click on the name of the Include Structure to create it.
Create the include structure with three new fields, as required. Then, save and activate it.
Develop the subscreen and the program
Go to transaction SE80. For the function group XAIS, create a new subscreen 9000.
Create it as subscreen.
Then, go to the Layout of the screen and create three new fields from Database table ANLU.
Drag the fields in the screen body and place them.
Then, save and activate the screen and come back to screen flow editor.
Create the PAI module to add validation for field Location 2, as required .
Activate the whole function group and come out.
Write code in the Function Exits to synchronize the programs
Now, code has to be written in the function modules EXIT_SAPLAIST_002 and EXIT_SAPLAIST_003 so that data flows to and fro between the main SAP program and custom subscreen program. For that, go back to transaction CMOD and change the function exits.
Write code in the function module EXIT_SAPLAIST_002 called once at the beginning of the transaction:
Write code in EXIT_SAPLAIST_003 to pass the data from the subscreen to SAP main program.
Then, activate everything the whole project and come out.
Complete the configuration to link the subscreen
The development portion is complete. Now, linking of the subscreen has to be done with the subscreen area of the main program. In most of the cases, this linking can be done in the enhancement itself. But, here, requirement is a bit different. It is done by configuration using SPRO.
Assets are created under Asset class. And for each asset class, there is a layout assigned to it. For a layout, there are multiple tab pages assigned to it. And, for each tab page, there are multiple screen groups/field groups assigned.
Here, the requirement is to create these three custom fields in the tab page General of asset master screen ( AS01/AS02/AS03/AS91).
Determine the Layout
To achieve this, first of all, we need to find out which layout is assigned to asset class 1000.For that, go to transaction AOLK( information has to be obtained from functional consultant).Select the Asset Class 1000 and click on folder General Assignment of Layout.
Here, for Asset class 1000, for all the user groups, tab layout SAP is assigned. Since layout SAP cannot be changed, it has to be copied and manipulated to include our screen group. Later, the new layout has to be assigned over here.
Create new tab layout
Go to transaction AOLA. Copy the tab layout SAP to create another layout, say, YSUB.
System will copy all the settings and will inform you about that.
Select your newly created layout and double-click on the folder Tab page titles.
You want to put your custom fields in the tab page General. So, select this tab page entry and double-click on the folder "Position of Groups".
Here, all the field groups currently residing in the tab-page General are shown. Add an entry for your newly created fields.
Select the group box from the list. An entry will come with U padded with the custom subscreen prepared by you.
Then, save and come out.
Assign the new Layout to Asset Class
Now, go to tcode AOLK and assign tab layout YSUB for asset class 1000.
Save and come out.
Test the Exit
Everything is over. Now, go to transaction code AS01/02/03 or AS91 to deal with an asset of asset class 1000. You will see your new fields added to the screen. Add values to themsave. Then, enter into the tcodes again to see whether the values entered by you are being displayed or not.

Custom Layout Template

Hi, created a custom layout par file base on the com.sap.portal.layouts.default.par which uses two tabs.
Each of the tabs has a title e.g. my details or my reports. Example of the HTMLB code is below
<hbj:textView id="mytabText1" encode="false">
<% mytabText1.setText(tabText1);%>
</hbj:textView>
The portalapp.xml has also been created as such with a reference to the tab title
<property name="tabText1" value="Tab 1">
<property name="personalization" value="dialog"/>
<property name="inheritance" value="non-final"/>
<property name="type" value="String"/>
<property name="plainDescription" value="Tab 1"/>
<property name="longDescription" value="The first tab text"/>
</property>
To display the custom page layout, I create a new page template and base my page on that template, which works. However to change the title of the tab requires me to change the template. What I would like to do is inherit the title or description of the iViews which populate the page into the tab titles. Thanks for any help in advance. Brian

You can write a liitle javascript. Look at the generated html code. Find Tab's name id.
document.getElementById('Tabsid').value = document.title;

Use of layout tabs in IS RETAILS

Hi Guru,
can u tell what is use of layout tabs in IS RETAILS.

In IS retail the enterprice architecture will have a DC associate with several stores (in sap terms these store and DC all are plants only). Practically in retail scenario, every month or fortnight a new store would be opened. These store would maintain material in a special order to improve the customer attraction.
Based on the consumer behaviour in a particular region the products will be kept in shelf in some order. For example if the organisation gets Rs.10 profit / Medimix soap where as it gets Rs 15 Profit / Lifebouy. So the company needs to arrange the shelf in store in such a way it contains more no of Lifebouy in Row with some special tags and some less no of Medimix. This will enhance the customers interest in purchasing new attractive one which is available plenty in quantity.
The model that is used for arranging the products in shelf or rack or cupboard of store in such a way to increase the profit and presentability is called layout. It is also called planogram. Because this layout will be planned few months in advance. This is done in advance to intiate procurement and replenishment of product for new store.
Hope I clarified you.

Use easy enhancement workbench
The Easy Enhancement Workbench is a development tool with which SAP applications (called Business Objects in the following document) can be extended in a simple manner.
Customer enhancements to a Business Object are defined via wizards. The Workbench then does all development work for the user; databank tables, screens and application logic are created automatically. Finally the customer enhancement is included in the SAP standard.
This also allows users without ABAP knowledge the simple possibility of extending the SAP standard.
An extension created using the Easy Enhancement Workbench does not differ technically from one created manually. In both cases transportable ABAP objects are created and the same Customer Exits, Business Transaction Events or BAdIs are implemented
You need to use EEWB feature to achieve the same.

How to force a Custom Layout in the links sent by e-mail ?

Hi everyone,
For customizing the final user´s view for Discussion Groups,
I created a custom Layout Set "myDiscussionGroupsContributor"
that references a custom Collection List Renderer
"myDiscussionGroupWithoutTopicsContributorCollectionListRenderer"
that references a custom Command "my_join_discussion_thread_contributor"
that has a custom Layout Set assigned "mySingleDiscExplorerContributor".
When accessing the discussions via the final users it works fine
(I´ve already corrected the "Back" link problem acording thread
problem with discussion group contributor iview)
The problem is that when I send a discussion via e-mail
to another user using the "send to" command,
the received link opens the discussion using the default
"DiscussionGroupsContributor", in fact, the e-mail´s HTML code
contains the property "rndLayoutSet=SingleDiscExplorerContributor"
as noted in the following href element:
href="http://myportal:50000/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/
com.sap.km.cm.navigation/discussiongroups/
80b935d9-90a8-2810-17a6-c88c15fd350b/
324e1175-98a8-2810-16a2-ee1c1f9c54bc.dsc?
StartUri=/discussiongroups/80b935d9-90a8-2810-17a6-c88c15fd350b/
324e1175-98a8-2810-16a2-ee1c1f9c54bc.dsc&
rndLayoutSet=SingleDiscExplorerContributor&scHeight=300&
scWidth=220&scPostListWidth=500" target=_blank
The same happens with the link in the subscriptions list.
Does anybody know how to set the layout in these links ?

Hi all,
I solved the problem, so here I post the steps for the solution I found.
1) Modify the Object Type Definitions:
In the CM Repository there is a folder root > etc > oth.
There you have to change the LayoutSet settings in the following files
(I don´t know if it is necessary to modify all of them):
     - discussion_post.oth
     - discussion_topic.oth
     - discussion.oth
     - discussiongroups_items.oth
     - discussionPostType.oth
     - discussionType.oth
     - dscGroupsCollType.oth
     - dscGroupsItemsType.oth
2) Then you have to reload de OTH settings:
In the Content Management configuration (System Administration >
System Configuration > Content Management)
go to User Interface > Debugging Settings and edit the configuration.
Add your user id to "UI Superusers" then enable
"Enable Rendering Information" and save.
Then go to a KM and clic on "Rendering Information"
(If the link doesn´t appear, refresh your window).
A new window opens, clic in "OTH-Overview"
and then in the new window click on "Reload".
Finally close all popup windows and go to the
Debugging Settings again to disable the checkbox
"Enable Rendering Information"
For further information you can read:

How do I create a placeholder image in a custom layout?

I have a custom layout defined for a photo book, and I want to have a box on the layout where I can easily drag/drop a photo from Finder onto each page.
On my layout, I created a shape and dropped an image into it. This results in the following tooltip on both the layout editor and on the pages using the layout:
"This image is a placeholder. Drag a new media file here to replace it."
And with that shape selected, if I go to Format, Advanced, the option "Define as Media Placeholder" *is* checked.
But when I go to a page using this new layout and attempt to drag a JPEG file on top of the placeholder, a new photo is created on the page rather than replacing the placeholder. This means I have to go set the wrapping, size, placement, etc. of the photo with each page.
What am I doing wrong?

Good question. Just figured it out myself. I'm going to quote from http://www.davidebarranca.com/2012/04/ibooks-author-fullscreen-images/:
In order to successfully transform a picture/movie within a master page into a placeholder you must select it, then 1) Format – Advanced – Define as Media Placeholder. 2) From the Inspector panel, select the Layout inspector and below Layout Object select the Editable on pages using this layout checkbox. If you forget this checkbox, the placeholder won’t work.
