Looking to create a flashcard template

Hi friends. I'm trying to figure out how to make a template that will print two sided 3x5in flashcards. My printer can't print two sided, so I want to print all odd pages, take out the cards, put them into the printer with the obverse facing, and print all even pages to get two sided cards. Thus page 1 will have the word and the next page will have its definition. (Does this make sense?)
Right now, I have a Page Layout template that can accommodate one flashcard. Page 1 is a text box centered on the page with centered alignment that is for the word itself and page two has a larger text box, linked to the first, that is for the definition. So I can type the word, newline to get to the definition page, and type my definition. This is fast and good. I also set cmd-N to default to this custom template for fast flashcard creation.
However, I can't find a way to batch just the first page of multiple files, nor can I find a way to merge these multiple files (each of which represents one card) into a single document.
Therefore I need to either
#1. Find a way to batch print just the first page, and then just the second page, of many Pages files
#2. Cleanly merge many Pages files into one file
#3. Design a template that facilitates creation of many cards in one doc.
Any tips or scripts appreciated.
For clarification, I am not using 8.5x11in cardstock, I am using real 3.5x5 inch cards.

With Acrobat, there are usually several ways to do things. When it comes to setting up links within a PDF, I like to combine two methods.
The first is to use the LINK tool, which you can find in the Tools menu under TOOLS > ADVANCED EDITING > LINK TOOL. With this tool selected, drag an area around the item that you want to make clickable. This will then display a dialog box presenting you with options for how you want your link to look and where you'd like it to link to.
The next thing I like to do is to create bookmarks to each of the important sections within the document. To open the Bookmarks panel, go to the view menu and select VIEW > NAVIGATION PANELS > BOOKMARKS. To create a new bookmark, first go to the place in your document that you want to bookmark and hit command-B (for Bookmark) or click on Options in the top of the Bookmarks panel and select New Bookmark. You can then name the Bookmark appropriately. You can also include expandable bookmarks if you'd like to have, say, a bookmark to a particular chapter, and then bookmarks to sections within that chapter all within that bookmark. To do this, you can drag a bookmark into another bookmark.
Then, before sending out your PDF, you need to make sure that the Bookmarks panel will display when your end-users open your PDF. To do this, go to FILE > PROPERTIES and select the tab Initial View. On the option for Navigation Tab, select "Bookmarks Panel and Page."
Good. Save your PDF and you're done.

New LDAP administration, looking to create a template

I'm having to create an LDAP server and I'm using DSEE 6.3.1 to do it. I believe I have created my certs, created and started the directory instance and applied the latest patches. What I'm trying to do now is find a way to create a user template -- can someone please provide some guidance on this? Thank you in advance.

Creating a user template is a 'relatively easy' task as long as you know which are the attributes and objectclasses you need in your profile.
This is one example of a user entry... but of course it has just the basic objectclass/attribute skeleton, you may need to extend/customize it

How do i create a database template from the command line?

Hi,
As part of implementing a backup and recovery strategy for a client (including disaster recovery) I want to automate the creation of a database template From an Existing Database (Structure as well as data) via a script that will run every night.
The background to this is that we will also be using RMAN to take backups of the database concerned but the client does not want to wait while an RMAN backup is restored and so wants an additional level of insurance in the form of a ‘standby’ clone database.
The idea is that nightly we will run a script that creates a database template from the Existing Database (Structure as well as data) and then transfers the 2 files involved e.g. DB_data_included.dbc and DB_data_included.DFB across to a standby server where they can be used to recreate the database in the event of us needing to after e.g. a complete server failure.
So I have a couple of questions about this that I would be very grateful if something could answer for me:
1)     Is it possible? That is, can a database template be created from some utility by supplying a series of parameter=value pairs on the command line?
2)     If yes how do I go about it, what utility do I use (the emca utility?). and what parameters do I need to supply on the command line to create the template?
3)     The intention is that the script to create the template will run in the early hours of the morning when no-one is using the database but what state does the database need to be in when the template creation script runs i.e. up, down, mounted and does the creation of a template affect the state of an already up database i.e. if I kick off the template creation script and the database is up will it switch it into mount mode or anything like that? My concern here is that I want to make sure I understand exactly what is going on so that no users or connected external systems are affected?
Thanks in anticipation of someone being able to guide me on what to do or what documentation to read.
Also if you require any clarification on what i'm asking please post up your query and i'll respond ASAP.
Kind Regards,

Sybrandb,
Firstly thanks for you reponse.
However, I don’t agree that dbca only creates empty databases otherwise why does the option to create a template from an existing database (structure as well as data) exist in the dbca wizard?
I have performed a test case where I have a created a database template including data on one 10g server. I have then used the files generated to recreate that database on a separate server. When the new database is started it is an exact copy of the original. So it’s not empty at all , it’s exactly what the client wants.
So I don’t agree that I’m gaining zero.
Why is this approach doomed to fail?
There a number of reasons why I “just set up a proper standby database”
1.     Time – I’m on a customer site in a tight engagement where the customer wants maximum value for money. I don’t have standby database skills and the customer isn’t willing to pay for me to learn on the job so please understand the tight circumstances I’m working in.
2.     Availability – As far as I know the client is running 10.2.0.3.0 standard edition. Correct me if I’m wrong but is standby db available in that edition. Where do I look to check V$OPTION.
On the RMAN duplicating a database front it’s an area I haven’t used before but I will take a look at it.
Also please revisit the context of my original posting where I state
The background to this is that we will also be using RMAN to take backups of the database concerned but the client does not want to wait while an RMAN backup is restored and so wants an additional level of insurance in the form of a ‘standby’ clone database.
So please understand that this a quick fix that the client wants developed in the minimum time possible in ADDITION to a full nightly RMAN backup being taken.
In an ideal world I’d have the time to follow best practice but in the real world of on-site customer support I just need to get the job done operating under the customer imposed constraints.
Many Thanks,

Why is the formatting missing from my html page created from a template?

Hi All!
Hope you can help me.
I've created a new template in dreamweaver - all good. When I preview the template page in a browser everything looks perfect.
But when I create a new html page from that template, even though the page looks perfect in design view, all the formatting is missing when I preview it in a browser.
The site settings were relative to the site root and I've changed that to be relative to the document (not sure if that should make a difference). Either way, it hasn't changed anything.
Any ideas?

The site settings were relative to the site root
If you have not enabled "Preview using temporary files" in your PREFERENCES then site root relative links will fail on preview. Why? Because site root relative links *always* begin with "/", and when the browser sees that, it (since it knows nothing about Dreamweaver sites) correctly looks for the path starting from the root of your hard drive, not the root of the DW site. When you enable preview using temp files, before handing the file to the browser, DW obligingly converts all root relative links to document relative links (which *will* work on preview) but to do that it must create a temporary file (there are other things that happen as well, like external files being embedded in the code for the preview, but that is not relevant to this discussion). The reason a temp file is created is so that these changes don't affect your saved file.
So, if you want to use site root relative links, and do previews of your pages, you must enable the temporary files in preview. There is really no downside to doing this except that you may occasionally see a curious file named xzys139(.html in your local file list - this is a temporary file that was handed to the browser for preview, and for whatever reason was not deleted. In fact, this can save your bacon sometimes because it gives you a 'backup' of that page to which you can revert in the event of something catastrophic.
In the larger picture, there is no benefit to using site root relative links UNLESS you are also using server-side includes. It will make your life a bit simpler if you do not use them.
Finally, having made those links in your template file with the site root relative option enabled, changing that option to document relative will only affect NEW links, not existing ones. This is why Ken asked to see the link in your template - it's because he knows that even though you have made the option change, that old link will not be affected and will therefore fail on preview (assuming you have not enabled the temp file thing).

Meta Tag Placement in pages created from a template

I am updating a site and want to make sure that I place my meta tags correctly in individual pages created from a template. Can you tell me if my placement is correct?
Below is code I added to my template:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>Untitled Document</title>

 
<style type="text/css">

<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

<title>Long Island, NY, 11550 Music Dance Art & Drama Lessons</title>


<meta name="keywords" content="piano lessons, guitar lessons, drum lessons, flute lessons, violin lessons, afterschool performing arts, voice lessons, singing, saxophone, trumpet">
<meta name="description" content="Information about Young Musician Institute's Afternoon Arts Program for piano, guitar, drums, violin, viola, trumpet, saxophone and cello">

<style type="text/css">
<!--
body {
As usually, Begin and end editable sections are grayed out, and the meta tag names are blue according to my scheme so I think I am doing it correctly, however, I want to be sure before submitting it to google incorrectly. Can you tell me if I am correct?
Thank you

for clarification, are you saying that I could have put them on the line after:
<title>Long Island, NY, 11550 Music Dance Art & Drama Lessons</title>
Yep.
Second, adding these meta tags actually did help the ranking of this company. They were not listed before I did this on their old site. They were on page 1 of their category hours after I did this for them.
I think it's just coincidence. However, for sure it wasn't the keywords that did that, since those are just ignored (the meta keywords contents, not the meta description contents).
what are the search engines looking for? I want to make sure to design with those things in mind.
They are looking for semantic content on the page. That means the contents of tags like <title>, <h1>, <h2>, <h3>. That also means (derived) keywords contained in content 'above the fold', and in filenames, in links, in title and alt attributes. In other words, search engines want to rank your pages based on *real* meaning of the contents of the page, not on some arbitrary listing of keywords that you place in a meta keyword tag.
Search engines also pay lots of attention to INCOMING links from other well ranked sites....

How to create a report template

Hello
Could anybody give the information/steps for creating a report template.
Thanks.

Hi
I have created report templates that are now being used in our shop.
Help in report developer was good beginning to learn this.
Best thing that I found after struggling for a while, is to take an existinf template file(like rwblue, rwgreen etc) that gets shipped with report devloper and to customize to to your specific needs. This way your job gets reduced quite a bit.
You can open the existing template file(.tdf) in template editor (they are located ora_home\reports\tempate directory. Make the required changes and save it with a diff name. You can add the same to the list of default templates, The steps involved for this is explained pretty well in report developert help/manual.
Please note: This requires some advanced skill in the report devloeper tool. You can not expect a newbie to this job....
You can also visit www.dulcian.com and look under report developer tool for additioanl info on report templates, I think they have a good presentation by paul dorsey et. al on this topic.
good luck!

Need to create stupid proof templates for non-designers

Ok folks, I'm new to this forum having come across it in search of a solution to my problem.
I need to create illustrator template files (.ai not .ait) that customers can download and use to create their own artwork for print. I have to create them in every printable paper format from business cards to A3 posters, folding, non-folding yada yada.
Now, previously, we used an .ai file with a guide layer we created. This guide layer had all relevant info, was named accordingly. It was set not to print and locked. As I tend to use print to file, distiller and all, this has always been perfectly adequate to create my pdfs. Of course, this doesn't work the same way when saving a pdf, which is what most people do. However, customers who wish to download the templates are having some difficulty with the concept of 'make sure you delete the guide layer before saving your pdf'.
For the most part, the customers using these files are not illustrator literate. Even though there are clear instructions to 'delete' the guide layer when saving the needed pdfs, they are failing to do so. This means when the .ai (with the non printable layer) is saved to pdf, the guide layer as a hidden object is saved within the pdf. Upon printing at our printing facilities, the guide layer has been printed with disasterous results.
A possible solution we came up with was to use the ruler guides to create the guide layer. For this solution to work though, I need to be able to use different colours for different guides within the same document. Which we can't. We can only change all the guide colours and they are all the same colour.
Another idea would be to outline text indicating various printable and non-printable areas and making them into guides via View>guides>make guides, which works to an extent but looks messy, especially when viewing the full page and again, isn't particularly distinctive, leading back to having different guides in different colours.
I've come across another possible solution involving template layers. Viewing the resulting pdf seems fine and in all purposes it does what we need, except for when reopening the saved (not printed) pdf back in illustrator, the template layer is still there and I need it gone. The same way it would be if the .ai were printed to postscript and sent through distiller.
My ideal solution would be to have to ability to have the different coloured ruler guides in place throughout my document, but as I previously stated, all guides have to be the same colour and that's useless in this instance.
So, has anyone got any bright ideas. Coincidentally I need to create the same templates for both psd and indesign but I'll cross that bridge when I've figured this out.

Hey Mike, thanks for the response.
1. Not a chance, if, even when the process is described in great detail in an info pdf, available as info on the website (with screenshot instructions) and mentioned in the .ai file itself, they aren't even deleting the guide layer, then turning off 'Preserve illustrator editing capabilities' is kind of a stretch. Like I said, the folks these templates are to be designed for are not illustrator literate for the most part.
2. Not sure if this would work. I'd have to look into it.
3. Beyond my capabilities. I'll let you know if number 2 works.
One possible solution I've come up with uses the idea of a template layer always on top, with 'DELETE THIS LAYER' and screenshot of layers pallette and clear little red arrows etc. If I can the template layer to always remain on top, with their artwork layer underneath, they would have to toggle hide/unhide to view their artwork, and the reminder to remove the guide layer would be pretty much in their face. That's not a guarantee either though.
Personally, I think what I've been asked to achieve is a pretty hard task and honestly, I'm thinking there are no failsafe options.

Can't create VM from template on iSCSI

Hello,
I'm trying to create new VM from original Oracle template "OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_PVM_4GB" on iSCSI device without a success.
Steps to reproduce:
1) /OVS is mounted as iSCSI block device
2) Original Oracle template is copied into /OVS/seed_pool/OVM_EL5U3_X86_64_PVM_4GB
3) Oracle VM Manager - Import template (no problem)
4) Oracle VM Manager - Create VM from template
Result: Files are copied into running_pool, vm.cfg is updated, new VM is visible in VM Manager but with this message:
failed: <Exception: Error updating the image.> StackTrace: File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSSiteVM.py", line 471, in config_vm raise Exception("Error updating the image.")
5) Oracle VM Manager - Start new VM
Result:
Status in VM is Running
I can connect using VNC console
But the VM is constantly rebooting with these messages on the console:
Registering block device major 202
xvda: xvda1 xvda2 xvda3
xvda: p2 exceeds device capacity
xvda: p3 exceeds device capacity
Waiting for driver initialization.
xvda: rw=0, want=101530648, limit-12707414
attemp to access beyond end of device
switchroot: mount failed: No such file or directory
Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!
Looks like there is a problem with partition sizes within the VM image file (xvda: p2 exceeds device capacity)
I've tried to mount iSCSI formated with ocsf2 and ext3 - I'm getting the same error.
However there is no problem when I mount /OVS as NFS or local drive and repeat the steps above.
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated,
Honza

It's all sorted now.
What I've learnt: OVS/Xen hypervisor doesn't seem to handle 4kB iSCSI block sizes.
I had to change it to 512 bytes (configuration on the iSCSI storage - nothing on the Oracle VM side) and re-create all volumes.
Just in case you experience something similar.

Can't create VM from template

Hello,
I'm getting this error when creating VM from template:
failed: <Exception: Error updating the image.> StackTrace: File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSSiteVM.py", line 471, in config_vm raise Exception("Error updating the image.")
The VM is actually created despite this message bot when I try to power it up I'm getting another error:
failed:<Exception: ['xm', 'list', '478_CITConnect_Internal_TEST']=>Error: Domain '478_CITConnect_Internal_TEST' does not exist. > StackTrace: File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSXXenStore.py", line 192, in xen_get_vnc_port vm_id = xen_get_vm_id(vm_path) File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSXXenStore.py", line 34, in xen_get_vm_id stdout = run_cmd(args = ["xm", "list", vm_name]) File "/opt/ovs-agent-2.2/OVSCommons.py", line 98, in run_cmd raise Exception('%s=>%s' % (cmdlist, p.childerr.read()))
The template was copied from another VM pool (where it works fine, version 2.1.1) to a newly configured VM Server (2.1.5).
The new server is configured for HA (shared storage) and I was able to create VM from ISO without any problem there.
The template was created from existing VM (Oracle EL4 PV) running on the "old" server.
Any ideas where I should look into?
Thanks
Jan

In Cases work Center in standard SERVICEPRO role you can create service request template.
Try copying this to your custom role in your required work center. It should work.

How to create an input template/sheet to a summary spreadsheet

I've done this type of sheet in excel and access years ago, but have no clue on how to do it in numbers. Example, I have a spreadsheet that summarizes specific actions for specific individuals in a specific event over the course of many events. What I want to do is create an input template that populates the summary spreadsheet so I can update on the fly such as from my iPad while at the event. I'll use a soccer game as an example. My summary spreadsheet captures goals, shots and assists for each player for each game and sums it up for a season. For capturing multiple stats at a game (event), select the (action) from a radius button or drop down from a pre-defined cell content (e.g. goal or assist), Then pick the player who performed the action from a pre-defined cell content drop down. Hit an execute button and the data populates the spreadsheet behind it, or something similar to this. Does anyone have any ideas on how this front end input template could be executed in Numbers? I currently manually track this manually and its a pain, would love to drop this into the iPad and do it on the fly. Maybe numbers is'nt the right tool? Thanks

DY,
Numbers, in and of itself, won't give you the functionality you're talking about. To be fair, the context you referenced is a spreadsheet, plus a database, plus a programming framework that integrates the two.
You could look at AppleScript or Xcode to provide you the environment in which to create the data entry / data manipulation pieces. Even so, though, you still wouldn't have the database management system (which I'm assuming you use in this example, even though you've just mentioned the data entry and data transport parts).
It's not so much that Numbers "isn't the right tool" -- it's that the environment you're remembering wasn't just a spreadsheet, it was a couple of applications and a macro'ing / programming environment, whereas Numbers is just the spreadsheet part of that environment in an OS X context...
