Mental Block on using templates

Greetings all! I'm new to BC so please forgive my use of improper terms and my ignorance in general
I'm trying to understand the work flow, and apparently I'm thinking about this all wrong and I need some help in understanding it. I'd like to start a new site that is nothing more than an online store. I start BC and pick an e-commerce shopping template and it creates it all, then, my intention would be to edit all the products and edit all the graphics. However, when I go to the Pages area and click to edit the pages, instead of WYSIWYG, I get the little icon for a graphic or missing graphic. So there's nothing for me to visually see, or click on to replace with my own graphic.
I'm assuming that I'm trying to edit things in the wrong place and I need to be editing the core template somewhere else, but I don't know where that would be and I can't seem to locate it.
Any help with that would be appreciated
Am I okay in using that method, just using the BC template for the whole thing, or so I really need to create something in Muse, bring that in, and then drag and drop modules or widgets into that Muse site? I'd really like to use BC for the whole thing if possible.
It's a very basic, simple online store, so what's available is fine, except for the graphics, which I'd like to modify
Thanks for your time, I appreciate the help!

Hi Steve,
I think your refering to the products etc themselves?
Not everything is a page.
Products are found under eCommerce and products, in there is the content for the images etc.
If you are refering to the template layout itsefl it depends on the template. You should not really edit the html in the editor in the admin though as its ntot design for that but templates are under the Templates folder via SFTP and in the admin under site manager. Images and main layouts are there.
It really is best to go through the BC guides etc.

On the right there are links to 3rd party guide sites and of course you have:

Questions on using templates [CS3]

Greetings,
I'm trying to figure out the best way to approach an InDesign task, and my rank-novice-level experience isn't cutting it. Normally I'd read through a gazillion help pages and do a bunch of tutorials to try and teach myself enough to answer the questions on my own - but I'm a new parent (~2 months), so don't really have the time to take my usual approach; indeed, it took me several days just to write up this question and post it. So any help is *much* appreciated!
What I'm trying to do: create ~80 cards for a board game. Each will have similar layout, so creating a template file seems like the way to go. I've never worked with templates before, but doing so seems straightforward enough for things like text, or for an illustration which would be different on every card. However:
Difficulty #1: Some cards are of one type - call it type A - while others are of type B. Several graphical elements are always the same for a given type, but are different for A vs. B. I'm sure there must be a simple way to say "this file uses all items for type A, and not B", but I'm not sure if this would be best done using different templates, different master pages, setting which layers are visible on an imported photoshop file, or some other technique. (Did I mention I'm a total novice with InDesign?)
Difficulty #2: There are half a dozen graphical elements (icons), each of which may or may not appear on a given card. Using templates or master pages for all permutations of their visibility seems like a bad idea. But if I simply delete the not-shown objects from each file (assuming one can do such a thing when using templates), that makes later changes (which might involve re-adding them) difficult. In Photoshop or Illustrator - both of which I'm more familiar with than InDesign - I'd simply make the layer/object non-visible; is there an equivalently simple way to "get rid of this object, but let it be easy to bring back" in InDesign? (I've found the "nonprinting" attribute, but that doesn't seem to hide it from view while editing, which makes verifying the layout as correct rather onerous.)
Trying to look ahead #1: Eventually, I'd like to create an InDesign document which imports all of the single card files into an easily printable layout (9 cards to a page); I'm told this is possible. Is there anything I should know to avoid shooting myself in the foot / making this task unreasonably difficult? (eg: if InDesign throws tantrums when you try to import multiple documents based off the same template, I'd sure like to know that before making 80 cards based off the same template.)
Many thanks to anyone who can help!
--Eric

I'd make the card file at the trim size, and add a bleed allowance if you need one. Export this to PDF withthe bleed, but NO MARKS.
Ah, here's where I display my novice status:
1. So you'd suggest just one card file, rather than one file per card all using the same template?
(If relevant: it would also be useful to be able to distribute 9-up PDFs of, eg, the only the 16 cards which changed in a particular revision.)
2. I'm familiar with bleed allowance, but am guessing at what you mean by "trim size", and don't know at all what you're referring to by Marks? My experience with actual pre-press production is pretty much nil.
I should probably mention, since I didn't earlier, that there is a downside to overriding master objects. If you apply a new master, or reapply the old one for some reason, the overridden objects remain and new master objects will be replaced where missing. Also, if you make any chages to an overridden object, that attribute, such as size or position, for example, loses it's link to the master and will no longer update if the master object is edited.
Mm, that is a difficulty; if I'm understanding this correctly, if I (eg) replaced or moved one of the icons on the master page, it would change on every card for which it was visible (printable), but not on those cards where it had been overridden to be non-printing - only a problem if I have to change which icons show on which cards, but that will certainly happen from time to time.
Is there a way to tell an object "stop overriding and re-load all your information from the appropriate master object"?

How to delete a DAC block inside a sub-block by using script?

Hello,
how can I delete a DAC block that’s inside a sub-block diagram using a script?
The command
call SCHEMELOAD("xxx")
call BlDel("yyy")
only deletes blocks that are in the highest level of the actually loaded block diagram, not blocks that are in a sub-block diagram. (DIAdem 2012)
regards,
Eric

Hi Walter,
I don't need to delete a sub-block, I'd only like to delete blocks which are placed inside a sub-block.
All other commands I tried work for blocks no matter where they are inside a block diagram. For exaple: You can put a math formula block inside a sub-block wich is inside a sub-block which is inside a sub block and it does change the formula by script command.
But when using the command Bldel it deletes all blocks but not the ones inside a sub-block.

How to get 2nd line in smartforms using template

how to get 2nd line in smartforms main window using template. i have also defined loop .

if possible can you try with the TABLES..
Put one TABLE in your MAIN window

How to restrict height of table in smartform without using template

Hi Gurus,
I am facing a problem with table in smartform.I have 5 records in my table.If i print all 5 then table is fine.But if i get only one record in table then size of the table reduces to one row.Is there any way that i can keep my table height same as for 5 records,though i pass 1 record.I cannot use template here,because page-breaks are used in the form .
Your solutions are highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Meenakshi

Hi,
As far my knowledge goes, If there is one record then table lines will take the height of only one row. You cannot Restrict it to take height of 5 rows.
A temporary solution could be to add empty records in your internal table so that the table uses all the 5 rows in the table while printing in the smartform. Since they are empty records your smartform will not display any data but will only use the height.
If you have 1 record add 4 empty records, Similarly if you have 2 records add 3 empty records...
This way all time the table will take the height of 5 rows.
As i said earlier this could be a temporary solution.
Thanks,
Hari Prasad.

How to filter records in EIS drill through using template SQL

Hi,
I'm looking for an option to filter records in EIS drill through using Template SQL.
For eg: If we user runs drill through on 2011, it should restrict display of Jan & Feb and should display records for other months.
I tried using NOT IN clause, but got an error.
Can any one help me in understanding how this needs to be defined in template SQL
Thanks in advance

Hi Glenn,
I'm able to filter the records for specific periods.
However, I'm facing another problem now.
When I try to run drill through I get 'OLAP_error (1192025): Unknown Error: Not a valid Entry' error.
This is happening when I include condition as ((($$ab.ACCOUNT_CODE-COLUMN $$) IN ($$Account-VALUE$$)))
Here, ACCOUNT_CODE is field from Account dimension table and 'Account' is the name of the dimension.
If I remove this statement and run drill through, it runs but shows data for all accounts (irrespective of the Account selected)resulting in incorrect data.
Our RDBMS is Oracle. Can you please help me with this
Thanks

Windows 7 Professional 64bit OEM Retail Key has been blocked for used by microsoft

I purchased Windows 7 Professional 64-bit OEM on 19th
March 2014, from a well known retailer, it is legit with the plastic case Hologram and the COA sticker. Before I instal on my laptop HP430, I ask to [email protected] about the Key is valid or not. On 20th March 2014 I got an email reply
from [email protected] that my Key was Valid. After that I decide to instal on my HP430 Laptop and activated with no issues. On 2nd May 2014 my laptop was error so I decide to re-instal my Windows on the same Lapotp HP430. Finally I try to re-activate
my License using online activation and got an error message "This product key is blocked for used by Microsoft". I was trying to activate with Phone activation, but I got the same error "This product key is blocked for used by Microsoft".
Can anyone provide details on this? Why is my key blocked from activation? What could of happened that compromised my license key?
Thanks for your time reading this.

The lack of a Windows marker in the SLIC table could indicate that the machine originally shipped without Windows installed - certainly, in India, this ships often with only some form of DOS present.
I'll go into more detail in the new thread.

Some clients Can't open XLSX files in Libraries using template.dotx but can open xlsx files in libraries using template.doc

If I create a new library using any Excel/Word template - DOC, DOTX, XLS, XLTX and then upload a XLSX document (or docx) then some of my clients experience issues opening the document. My work around in the past has been to resave the document
as XLS or DOC. Interestingly Old Libraries (Libraries using template.doc) don't have a problem with xlsx or docx documents. (This only works because most of the clients experiencing the problem only open a few documents and we only have to
resave a few documents. I don't know why these clients have this problem though.)
We are now testing a new Terminal Server implementation. One with OpenOffice instead of Microsoft Office. We can't open xlsx files on new libraries but can on old libraries. (docx files are not a problem though) I found a couple of
work arounds.  One work around is to click on the down arrow by the document name and select "Edit in Excel" which fails, but then clicking on the document name after will then prompt you to Open/save the document. Clicking on Open
successfully opens the document in OpenOffice. (So rather tedious for the users but nothing has to be changed to make it work.)
The other option is to create a template from one of the libraries that is working and then use it to create a new library and save my documents to the new library. Then I'm prompted to Open/Save the xlsx documents in the library.  This
option is less tedious for the user but then I have to go through and recreate any libraries using template.dotx. Creating a new library using the standard Document Library option and selecting Word or Excel 2003 does not resolve the issue - it has to
be created from a template created from an existing library that works in the Terminal Server implementation.
My boss is opting for the latter option unless I can come of with an alternative that doesn't mean additional steps for the users. Training is an issue because most of the Terminal Server users are shop floor workers.
My question is, is there a patch or fix that addresses this issue or any other work arounds that would be less work?
Additional Info: Our Sharepoint implementation is the Enterprise version is installed but we do not have the Excel related Features activated (and these can't be activated due to licensing). I'm not sure if that matters or not but it is
a different configuration from how most SharePoint installations are configured. SP1 is installed. I have not installed any recent CU's. Versions I see in Patch Status screen include 14.0.6029.1 (primarily) with some additional features
reporting 14.0.6105.5, 14.0.6107.5, 14.0.6112.5 and 14.0.6114.5.
Nancy Forbes

We have tried a couple of additional things.
We uninstalled OpenOffice and are testing LibreOffice. I also installed CMIS from the SharePoint Administrator's toolkit, added the solution, and deployed it to my sites. The "Producer" feature is activated on the site I am testing with.
I created a new library and posted some docx, doc, and xlsx files to it. All files can be opened as Read-only from the Library list. The only way I have found that I can edit the files is to Open the Library with Explorer.   I then deactivated
the producer feature and tested opening the SharePoint documents from Explorer and it worked the same.
So am I misunderstanding what the CMIS Producer feature is for?

Alv report using templates........urgent

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me what is meant by ALV report using template. I have worked on ALV reports. Can you throw some light on USING TEMPLATE. If anybody have some document. please send it to me.

Hi
Check whether any templates defined in your orgn for different types of objects.
For example for ALV reports so and so template and for Scripts something defined.
A template means I feel a std way of displaying data as per the orgn process/standards.
check for that.
Or use the same Std function modules and display the data and enquire further what's the template is?
