Lost "my" templates

To solve a major, major problem I had to wipe my drive, re-install MountainLion and all my apps, prefs, user names and PWs. The "why" of all that isn't worth revisiting. . . too painful!
As a result, my personal Templates are also missing from the new display of Pages' Templates. Where should I look (hopefully) to find them?
I have a SuperDuper back-up only, as my Time Machine files were also hosed.

You should be able to find them on your SuperDuper! clone. You can't access the user library on a clone without starting at the beginning. Open a Finder window in column view & click in this order - (clone drive name) > Users > (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates.

Lost DWT templates!!!

OK....I lost the template files for a rather large
site. Yes, it was a stupid thing to do. But, what I need to know
now is...is there any easy way to recreate them?
You see, I need to change the Spry menu object across the
site, but I cannot change it on any page except the main page
because they all use a template that I no longer have access to.
So, how do I change these Spry menus? Can I re-create the template
without screwing up the site?

Template files have no function on the server. It's not
likely you will
find it there.
If the template was made using Template expressions/Template
parameters, or
Optional/Conditional Regions, you're hosed. If it was not,
it's a piece
o'cake.
1. Backup your site.
2. Close all open files.
3. Make a duplicate of the aboutus.htm file
3. Select this duplicate file in the file list.
4. Do a find and replace in this CLOSED selected file for
each of the
following -
Find -

Replace -
with nothing
i.e., delete it.
Find -

Replace -
with nothing
i.e., delete it
Find -
<!-- Instance
Replace -
<!-- Template
You now have a template file. Rename it to 'template.dwt' and
move it to
the Templates folder.
Now you can open it and edit out the contents in the editable
regions before
saving it again.

Lost in Template World

The struggle with learning templates continues.
I'm trying to create a simple template consisting of one div/containerr centered on page which will contain one image with a caption below.
I want to create several pages like this hence the template.
The images are different dimensions so I go ahead and make the div an editable region thinking that when I put the next differently sized image in that I will be able to resize it.
Unfortuantely when I go to create a new page from this template i can pop a new image in but can't resize div to fit image, I get the,
"making this change would require code that is locked...."
I'm lost!

Missing files, images, pages, updates lost - watercolor template

I am having a great time with the watercolor theme in the latest version of iWeb '08! A few weeks ago I spent over an hour updating my site, and published it. I quit iWeb, and then reopened it. All my changes were there!
two weeks later.
I open the domain file again with iWeb. Some of the sites pages have missing images (applies to my images and the template's.) About 5 of the pages I successfully created last session are completely blank - nothing is on those pages. This is getting rediculous.
Yes, I have used the iWeb feedback to report this issue... three times now. Yet, nothing.... sigh.

Well, I figured this one out as well. It was quite stupid
actually. Like I said in my other "self-answered post" I'm going to
briefly describe the solution for anyone who might need the help.
When Crossword Forge exports your file for the web it makes a
folder with that crosswords documents and it's background image.
You told Crossword Forge what image to use for the
background. Even though it makes a new jpg for your background, it
still has to reference the original. Keep those originals in your
local root folder. don't move them. Crossword Forge will have a
hissy if it can't find the original image. Yeah, even though it
creates a new image.

Lost iWeb Template

My iWeb template for my website seems to have disappeared. I have searched high and low within this iMac to find it but cannot. I enjoy posting to my site and would like to continue to do so. Can you help me find my template or suggest other ideas?

When you launch iWeb do you get your web site? If not what do you get? If you do see your web site then the domain file has to be somewhere on your hard drive.
If you don't get your web site in iWeb and can't find the domain file that contains it you'll have to recreate your site from scratch. Read Paragraph 2.3 of this iWeb FAQ site for tips on recreating the site from scratch with some of the file from the online site: http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebBackupretrieve.html
To help recover from a a similar incident in the future you should consider instigating a backup strategy. I've created an Automator script to copy the domain file to the Documents folder. It can be used after every session in iWeb so you have a current copy. Download it from Toad's Cellar.

Lost customized template in 3.3 upgrade

Just upgraded to 3.3 Production. Yea.
In 3.3EA1, I had created several custom report templates for the new Find (export/import metadata) tool. They did not come across with the auto upgrade. In what directory would those have been written? I am hoping I can just manually copy an xml file from the previous SDDM directories to the new one.
Thanks.

Hi Kent,
the file is custom_report_templates.xml and it's located in "System data types directory" - default location of that directory is \datamodeler\datamodeler\types, otherwise what is set in preferences.
I believe you have it defined in preferences and all definitions are taken (templates, scripts, saved search) unfortunately there is a change in file format (and related code) which restricts wider usage of templates make it bound to specific model name. This will be changed in next release.
Older format is
<custom_report_template id="F0EE97E1-5D37-9530-8AE4-49B2B9A7072B" code="2" name="CRTemplate_1" description="" >
<custom_report_template id="70A14375-B155-E234-D322-0AC583AD0F69" code="2" name="CRTemplate_1" description="" model="Relational_1" >It'll be faster to add model attribute manually and use copy&paste directly in file for each new model instead of creating the templates again and again.

Managing Word Templates in Organization on a network location

Hi
We use Word 2013 and started to use corporate templates
currently, our templates are located on our SharePoint Online, which means they're on the web, though most of the users have the template directory synced offline to their local drive with OneDrive for business so choosing and opening templates
is very easy and friendly.
The problem
when someone finished to create a document and want to send it to someone who's not in the corporate network, or even worse, to an external user - their word hangs on the file opening and causes word a massive delay.
we saw that as a workaround, if the document creator "Divorces" the document from its original template via "Developer >Document Template" and then he send it - the document open smoothly.
I'm sure it shouldn't be that difficult. we don't need to start educate users to change all their documents' template back to normal
I don't mind loosing the ability to have the documents update according to their template if something will change on the template in the future.
we just need the templates as a format starter when creating new documents
The Question
what should be the best way to work with templates on a web \ network location that aren't necessary available on the receiver's side?
thanks
Tamir Levy

What you describe is the standard behavior of a document which has lost its template. It is relatively simple include an intercept macro in your templates that attaches documents to the normal template upon the document being saved. Otherwise, you could
provide a macro that does this and attach it to an icon on the QAT.
Be aware that you do not want such documents set to update styles from the template automatically.
What happens when I send my document to someone else? Will Word mess up my formatting?

Template page won't display on the web.

One of my web pages was saved as a template and won't display graphics when uploaded, just code. It has the extension dwt. I thought probably what I should do is make
an html page copy and use that. I don't know how that is done, or if that would be the best solution. Any help would be appreciated.

You should never publish your Template.dwt file to the web except to have as a backup in case your Template ever becomes corrupted or lost.
Templates are a proprietary DW file type used to create the rest of your site pages. Go to File > New Page from Template. Select your .dwt file and hit create. The resulting new page is a child page based on that main template. Save as index.html (your home page). Repeat with other site pages.
Add editable content to each of your child pages. Everything outside Editable Regions in the template will be populated to all child pages -- very handy for site wide menus, headers, footers and sidebars.
When you edit a template, you must re-publish all child pages based on that template to your server.
For more details on the use of DW Templates, use F1 Help in DW.

Topics become 'unlinked' from their template

After generating webhelp, some topics (but not all of them)
are no longer linked to their template.
This is an intermittent problem.
Using RH 5.0.2 to generate a 250+ topic Web Help file. On
approximately 180 of these topics I have applied the same template
(T1). The remaining topics use a different template (T2). At some
point in time between ‘Generates’, some of the topics
(approximately 15%) linked to T1 no longer display the template in
the generated topic. For these affected topics, the properties
sheet still shows the proper template is assigned but it’s
not actually using it anymore. I may have accidentally
‘unlinked’ one or two topics from its template during
the editing process, but not all of them. And definitely not on
topics I haven’t touched since the original output was
created in May 2006.
To correct the problem I have to open the topic’s
properties sheet (it shows T1 as the selected template), select
None as a template, click Apply, then select the T1 template and
Apply again.
Any ideas?
Additional details which may help:
1 – This original project was created from scratch in
RH5.
2 - The template in question has a header (print this topic)
and footer (copyright info and such). These are things that go
missing. All other formatting details are fine.
3 - There doesn't seem to be any pattern as to which topic is
affected. Affected topics don't belong to the same folder, some are
old, others new.
4 - This is the second occurrence of this type on the same
project. I have seen this problem on another one of our projects
(WebHelp on RH5), but it was originally created on a version of RH
going back to the eHelp days and it’s had so many authors,
revisions and upgrades I don’t dare bring up any unique
issues with it.
Terry Belliveau

It's a bug, all right. But I thought it was related to
RoboSource Control. I'm glad (in a sorry way) that other people
have seen it, too.
We have had this problem in RHx5 and RH6, with RoboSource
Control 2 and 3. As far as we can tell, there is no consistent
cause - topics just lose their template connections. Yes, doing a
batch Properties change with OK will do it, but sometimes it just
happens.
It hasn't been a terrible burden, honestly. The hardest part
is figuring out which topics have lost their templates. There's an
option in the Topic Properties report to show the style sheet for
each topic, and if there is no template, there is no style sheet -
but with 2000+ topics in a project, that's not very workable.
And Harvey's right about the batch update in the Topics pod -
click Apply, then click the red x to close the window. RH7 may be
doing batch updates differently from RH6, but I say why take the
risk?
HTH,
Elisa

Unable to Load Database/Unable to create database.

RoboHelp 6.0 on my PC is suddenly unable to open existing
projects or create new ones. The problem is not in the projects, as
other people can unzip the same set of files and open them with
RoboHelp on their PCs.
The Details:
When attempting to open an existing project (any project
whether in version control or not), I get the message " Open
project was cancelled or the application was unable to load
database for..."
I found the article that says to delete the CPD and XPJ files
and then to use the Edit option to open the HHP file so that
RoboHelp will recreate the two files. When I try that, I get the
message "Unable to create database. Check that the directory is not
read-only." It's
not read-only.
When I attempt to create a new project, the application acts
like it is going to create one, but it just creates a project
folder without the new first topic and then repeats the New Project
Wizard window that prompts for title, etc. It will keep creating
folders and returning to this window in a loop without ever really
creating a project.
RoboSource Control is functioning normally, by the way.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled RH 6 several times, and
have even uninstalled RH 6 and installed to RH 5 just to see if it
could open projects, which it does with no problems. After that
test, I uninstalled RH 5 and reinstalled RH 6, only to encounter
the same problem all over again.
This started happening after I uninstalled other unrelated
software and received a message that some Service Pack 2 files had
been changed and prompting me to insert the Service Pack 2 CD,
which I don't have. This is because our IT department pre-builds
our systems from an image and then distributes job-specific
applications over the network. IT tried repairing Service Pack 2,
but that didn't work. I'd like to uninstall and reinstall Service
Pack 2, but the IT person says it's too risky on a system that was
built from an image.
We would like to find out
which files RoboHelp is looking for when it launches a
project so we can replace those files manually. Does anyone
know what they are or have another suggestion that might fix the
problem?
Otherwise, I am stuck having to allow IT to rebuild my
system. That means reinstalling and reconfiguring everything on it,
just as if I were upgrading to a new PC. This can take a whole work
week. However, I have already spent close to a work week on this
problem, so maybe rebuilding would save time in the long
run.

Problem Resolution = HHA.dll
For anyone who might be interested in the resolution to this
issue, we did rebuild my PC and reinstall all of my software. The
RoboHelp installation "complained" that I did not have HTML Help
Workshop on my system and told me to download version 1.4 from
Microsoft. I did have HTML Help Workshop..it's in my programs list.
(It's not listed in programs on my co-workers' PCs, and they were
not having problems, by the way.) But to make RH happy, I
uninstalled the workshop and tried to install the version from
Microsoft. But a message informed me that I already had a newer
version of the workshop on my system, and I was back where I
started. I could open projects, but there were weird problems.
Selecting Topic Properties was met with an error message, and when
the properties window opened, I could only see whatever template
was assigned (or none if the topic had lost its template), and
there was an extra section for Oracle help.
So I started dinking around in the registry to see if I could
get rid of any traces of the workshop so I could install the
version RH wanted or to find any other clues to my problem. Under
HTMLHelpAuthor, there was a reference to an HHA.dll file located in
C:\WINDOWS\system32...only the file did not exist on my system.
(Remember that my original problem was that some Service Pack 2
files were either modified or missing.) So I did a Google search on
that file name and found out that HTML Help Workshop is included in
newer Windows operating systems, but that people used to have to
get HTML Help Workshop from Microsoft, and that some people had
made the mistake of just putting the HHA.dll file into the
C:WINDOWS\system32 folder without also installing HTML Help
Workshop. At this point it was obvious that I needed the HHA.dll,
so I got it from a co-worker's PC. (Looking at the registry
entries, I can also see that my system was built with a slightly
different version of the operating system than my co-workers have.)
Adding the HHA file to my system solved the problem. All
projects but one were fine; one was still exhibiting the strange
behavior. I fixed it by going back to the RoboHelp 5 version of the
project and re-converting it to RoboHelp 6.
I suspect that if I had known about the HHA.dll file before
we rebuilt the PC, I could have solved the problem without going
through that painful process. That is why I thought I should post
the solution even though it was after the rebuild.

Oracle Vm 3.1.1 install - why don't I have /OVS/seed_pool ?

Hi Guys!
I am learning Oracle VM 3.1.1. I have successfully set up one Virtual machine so far based on an i7 based "server' and Oracle VM manager 3.1.1. I used a templates from edelivery.oracle.com -- my server only supports PVM so the one I was able to set up was the OVM_SGDU62_x86_64_Template. I had to set up my own Apache httpd server on another box -- just so i can host the template file to import it into the VM server - but I did it and it worked. On the VM server, I used local storage/ disks instead of NFS - which was a challenge - but I got it working as well.
My next project is to learn RAC by seeting it up using the RAC templates. I've install the latest RAC templates based on patch 13818831 which has p13818831_10_Linux-x86-64_1of2.zip and p13818831_10_Linux-x86-64_2of2.zip. The readme does not mention importing the template via ftp, and instead I am supposed to go and unzip it into /OVS/seed_pool. However when I go there on my VM 3.1.1 Server, it is not there (nor is /OVS/running_pool).
Here is what I do have, based on my working system (the i7 based server having Oracle Vm 3.1.1 server is shown):
[root@i7 OVS]# pwd
/OVS
[root@i7 OVS]# ls
Repositories
[root@i7 OVS]# cd Repositories/
[root@i7 Repositories]# ls
0004fb0000030000839f2d2faa5014c3
[root@i7 Repositories]# cd *
[root@i7 0004fb0000030000839f2d2faa5014c3]# ls
Assemblies ISOs lost+found Templates VirtualDisks VirtualMachines
[root@i7 0004fb0000030000839f2d2faa5014c3]# pwd
/OVS/Repositories/0004fb0000030000839f2d2faa5014c3
So it seems I only have files sitting in /OVS/Repositories/<wierd directory name>/ and otherwise /OVS is empty. Is this correct?
Where should I unzip the RAC templates to? I've tried just creating an /OVS/seed_pool "by hand" but Oracle VM does not recognize it.
Thanks in advance. Marv.

Hello!!
I'm not an expert but /OVS/Pool should be the directory naming of OVM 2.x, replaced by /OVS/Repositories/REPOS_ID in OVM 3.x
The "wierd directory name" it's the unique ID that OVM assigns to Repository, infact if you go to VM Manager in Repository tab and edit your current repository you will see this ID: 0004fb0000030000839f2d2faa5014c3
Under "0004fb0000030000839f2d2faa5014c3" folder, as you noticed, there are the classic folders ISO, VirtualDisk, VirtualMachine, etc. where files are placed.
I've never tried to import a pre-packaged template from Oracle but I would try importing it as an assembly from http/ftp! ;)
Hope this helps.
Greets!

My site is gone apparently - WWYD?

I posted below that when I upgraded iPhoto it for some reason corrupted my entire iWeb site. I lost my templates, texts, photos. Support did a DataCapture and they're trying to figure out what happened and trying to retrieve data from my Domain file, but they said not to keep my hopes up and I should start rebuilding the site now.
I do not have a backup - I know - DUMB!
I do have an older version on mac.com still I think. Does that help me?
It is also published to machighway.com so I have the html code.
Since iWeb is really frustrating with not allowing you to publish very easily, doesn't allow you to change templates, should I start fresh with another software? If yes, which one? WWYD?

Anyone?
My real question this morning after sleeping on it is that I need to upgrade to a more "business friendly" website software. Now that I have to rebuild the site anyway, I might as well do that now.
Which website software is easy, I can change templates and I can upload only changed pages? Converting from iweb would be a plus since I have all of the html code from my site.

Editing HTML code within RH 7 project

Since converting from RH 5 to 7 we cannot edit the HTML code.
If we even look at the HTML editor, when we go back to the Design
editor the topic has lost the template as well as the drop-down
text within the topic. Has anyone else experienced this
problem?

Yes, We are having the same problem.

Problems with PCI card on my Mac G5

I have been having random system wide freezeups on my G5 2.7 purchased as a refurb from Apple store.com back in late March. Other crazy symptoms are Logic Pro freezing, ie - application freezes, and various funky glitches while recording and then stopping playback. I have had the computer put through a battery of diagnostics at my local Apple store and all components, RAM (4.5GB), 3 hard drives (the Mac HD, the audio hard drive mounted internally and a Lacie firewire 800 drive for the Ivory samples), the computer itself, optical drive - all come up perfectly sound.
Using my Apple Care technicians instructed me to elliminate one by one my peripherals which include the Mackie Control Universal, Motu Micro Express Midi Interface, Ivory Grand Piano Software, my Korg Triton, and in the beginning my Echo Mia PCI card. Oh yeh and Logic Pro 7.2 was removed to see if that was the problem.
The only thing that caused the problems to stop was the removal of the Echo Mia card. Also tried changing it to a different slot to no avail. So the Echo tech support was contacted and even though they refused to believe that their card was the problem they took it back. So since the Mac 1/8 inch inputs and outputs are anything but professional filled with groundloops, beeping and hums I did a forum search on many differnet forums to find a card that would fit my needs inexpensively until I finally get the Apogee Ensemble that I'm waiting for. The same name came up for bringing audio into a Mac via the PCIX slot for a small sum of money - ESI Juli@. Many people said this was a quality unit with a good track record for being used on a G5. I have the most updated drivers from the ESI company. Darned if I'm not discovering the same freezeups and glitches with this card.
I have come to understand that these cards should work in my computer, hassle free. I have a G5 2.7 with supposedly 3 PCIX slots. What am I doing wrong here? Are there voltage issues here?

Turned out to be a corruption in some Logic preferences. I believe this was because of a bad chip of RAM I had. It took weeks to figure out why I was having glitches and system wide freezeups. One day the Apple Hardware tests came up perfect and then another day the "quick test" showed a RAM error.
I had to delete a file called "logic" and a loose file named "apple.logic.plist" (something like that). As a result of that I lost my templates and settings. Then I had to reset the startup assistant in Logic. I think a handy shortcut, although I am a newbie to Logic, is to formulate a song (file) and name it "Marks template number one", then save it as a template but don't erase the file. Then if you lose your templates like I did, because of the corrupted preferences, the song file still is in your hard drive and you'll just have to save it as the template again.

Prime infrastructure 2, wism2 Lrad Audit

Hi,
Im abit lost to what the Audit is showing.
When I audit my 2 Wism2 blades from Primeinfrastructure 2 I get ALOT of rows with:
(Type)Configuration Name Audit Status Attribute PI Value Controller Value
(LradIfDot11nDual) 34:a8:4e:4e:e2:10/0/0 Not present in controller - - -
The only thing that is changing between the messages is the mac text after the (Lrad...).
Even if I refresh config from the Wism2 I still have all rows left when doing another audit.
But When I audit my 5 5508 WLC I dont have the missmatch.
Both the Wism2's and 5508 should have the same config.
I can see that the Audit say that its in the PI and missing on the controller, but the value i "-" everywhere so what does it do, where do I enable or disable the setting.
Im dont want to restore PI's values untli I know what it is that Im restoring onto the Wism2.
Any help or insigt to what it is would be gratefully appreciated.
//Anders

Thanks for your input.
I looked up the AP via one of the macs in the missconfig (the mac is only viewable when I went into the info on the AP, its not displayed in the summary when searching for it) .
Noticed that it had lost its templates, ap groups and moved to another controller. Just the default setting was active. Applied the correct templates and moved it to the wism2 blade.
Now the row is gone from the audit :)
Even though its not the identical, your solution helped me find my solution. I will mark your answer as correct and people reading have 2 answers :)
