Multiple layouts per portal

i would like to create a look and feel like amazon.com(and many other sites) with tabs and each tab having different layout.
since a portal can only have one layout per group, how can this be done.
i was thinking of having multiple portals and then switch the user to different portals depending on the tab clicked.
but that is clumsy with all that session information transfering and admin setup.
i saw in you api that there is something called a category and that you can get a layout using a category as an argument.
is there going to be native support for multiple layouts per portal? if so, when, next release?

Hi Thomas,
you have several options with the portal standard:
1.) If the user only has one role assigned at a time you can attach the portal layout to the roles. So depending on the role the user has he sees the respective layout - BUT: how to asign the two roles to the user!? This can only be done by admins and I assume that it is no intended to call the admins every time the user needs the other role?
2.) The entry to the portal is realized with different urls like http://yourportal.com/VIEW1 and http://yourportal.com/VIEW2.
VIEW1 and VIEW2 are so called portal aliases and you can attach the different layouts to those aliases.
BUT: the two roles have nothing to do with the aliases so you still have the problem of role assignment.
3.) Each person gets two users with each user assigned to one role and one layout assigned to the user or group or role...
Anyhow: I would ask the people who brought up the idea of two different layouts - WHY?? A portal is ONE single point of entry for EVERY application and information a user needs. So why two different layouts? And what, if five others are coming each bringing their own layouts, too?
4.) If you really want to have different layouts each time a different top-level navigation point is active you have to program your own portal component. That would fit your needs but is besides standard.
Hth,
Michael

"Layout" option in iPhoto 09 - multiple photos per page

I am trying to printing several different photos on a single page. While I can achieve this by selecting a smaller image size and letting iPhoto arrange them automatically I would like to adjust the layout. When I selected "Layout" (under "customize") earlier I was offered layouts for One, Two, Three etc. images per page but now I can't find how to get iPhoto to offer more than One image per page. Am I doing something wrong? With several pictured selected, how do I customize the layout?
Thanks
Duncan

Thanks - That is what I figured but the strange thing is that when I clicked on "Layout" 20 minutes before I posted this question it offered me page layout options for "One", "Two" "Three" and "Four" images per page with different configurations for each......but now I can't get those options - frustrating! And thinking about it, why would it say "One" under layout if there were no other options available?
Has anyone else experienced this? Do other iPhoto 09 users get multiple images per page options under "Layout"?
Thanks
Duncan

Portal with multiple layout !!!

Hi,
I've seen a lot of questions in this Newsgroup regarding the development of a
portal containing multiple layouts, but no clear answers was given.
If the only way to develop a portal with multiple layout is to not use the portal
framework, please could you give me a detailed approach how to do it (maybe there
is Howto document somewhere ...) !
Thanks for your help, I'm stuck and unfortunately not very familiar with the product.
/Julien

Thanks Phil,
OK, then could you explain me how to build a simple portal without the portal/portlet
facilities, but taking advantage of the personnalization tags available.
- e.g. Which APPLICATION_INI I need to setup ?
I appreciate your help

Julien - BEA's next portal release (version 4.0) will
have complete support for a variety of different
layout templates. There will be a selection of layouts
out-of-the-box as well as the ability to provide your
own custom layout. Also, "tabs" will be added to the
portal and each tab may use a different layout template.
Version 4.0 is scheduled for Fall 2001.
With previous versions of the portal product, you will
need to edit/customize portalcontent.jsp and the jsp's
it calls. The layout Html is spread through them, so it
is not a fun excercise.

How to save a pdf with multiple slides per page

I have multiple pdf files that I would like to combine but for some of those files, there were originally from powerpoint. For those files, I would like to change the pdf so that there are multiple slides per page. I don't have a copy of the original powerpoints. I am trying to find an easy way to do this because I have at least a hundred pdfs to do. Thank you!

You could print a PDF to the Adobe PDF printer, and select multiple Pages per Sheet on the Layout tab of the printer Properties dialog. Printing a PDF to PDF is generally frowned upon, but once it a while it comes in handy. It could have some unwelcome side effects though like wiping out your carefully crafted accessibility tags, bookmarks, and some document properties.

Multiple Pages per Sheet Dimensions

Whenever I print multiple pages per sheet on my HP Officejet Pro 8000, it squishes the dimensions to fit the page so that all my letters are printed narrowed/elongated. Is there a way to prevent the printer from fitting the pages to the half sheet and preserving the original proportions of the document?

Ar eyou able to print to PDF? If you have that facility select Adobe PDF in the pop down menu, go to properties and the first tab has layout, you should be able to select number up required, save to PDF and open the new PDF...this should be stepped up how you want it.
Alternatively if you have Illustrator or Indesign (Quark works too) you can create a page with picture boxes and import/place the PDF however many up you want.

Multiple stylesheets per topic

Hello,
I like to create multiple stylesheets for management
purposes, rather than having one very very large stylesheet which
can be used for all topics in my help project. Is there any way
RoboHelp can support multiple stylesheets per topic? I also want to
avoid duplication of rules between stylesheets, so using single
different stylesheets for different topics is not a good solution.
In particular, I'd like to have a single 'general' stylesheet to
provide my 'general' formatting. Then, some topics will include an
additional supplemental stylesheet to provide specific formatting.
Currently, for these topics where I need special formatting,
I need to make the rules unique, and add them to my standard (now
growing very large) stylesheet.
Thanks in advance!
Mitch

Hello Leon,
I don't want to start an argument on this topic, but I would
like to quote a couple of experts in the area of stylesheets, then
quote the W3C itself, since you mentioned them.
Simon Collison, from Beginning CSS Web Development, Page 10:
Multiple Style Sheets:
Consider a style sheet that contains all of the rules you've
created for an entire site. Let's say that the site is equivalent
in size to the BBC web site, which is very, very big indeed. All
the styles required would result in one long, unmanageable style
sheet, so splitting the style sheet into manageable chunks is a
much better option here.
Andy Budd, CSS Mastery, page 24
For a simple website, you can get away with using a single
CSS file. With larger and more complicated sites, it can be a good
idea to separate your styles for ease of maintenance. How you
separate your styles is a matter of choice. I generally have one
CSS file for the basic layout and another for typography and design
embellishment. This way, once the layout is set, I rarely have to
go back and change the layout style sheet. This also protects my
layout styles sheet from accidentally being altered and breaking.
You can abstract things further by creating a separate CSS
file for color. Then, if you want to offer different color themes,
it is easy to create a new color style sheet. If you have lots of
forms on your site, you may want to create a separate CSS file for
all of your form styles. You can then link that file only when it
is needed, thus reducing the initial download overhead. If you have
some pages on your site that are very distinct from the rest of
your site, you may want to consider splitting these off into their
own CSS files. For instance, if your homepage layout is very
different from the rest of the site, you may want to create a
separate CSS file for the homepage.
Now, if you'd like to visit
http://www.w3.org/TR/html401/present/styles.html#h-14.3.1
you'll read:
14.3.1 Preferred and alternate style sheets
HTML allows authors to associate any number of external style
sheets with a document. The style sheet language defines how
multiple external style sheets interact (for example, the CSS
"cascade" rules).

Multiple page per sheet not working...

Dear all,
Since some time now (even before Mavericks), the "Multiple page per sheet" is not working.
When I select it and print (either to PDF or to any of my printers), I always get 1 page per sheet... and I can't save trees!!!!
Do you know how to fix this ?
Thank you very much.
Best regards,

How can I print multiple photos per page? It was simple in earlier versions of iPhoto.

How can I print multiple photos per page? It was simple in earlier versions of iPhoto.

Do you want to print several different photos per page or multiples of the same photo?
If you want to print several different photos,select them all at once and press command-P for "Print". Pick the Custom Layout and adjust the photo size suitably.
If you want multiples of the same photo, duplicate the photo several times and select all copies at once, then press command-P.

Data Merge: Cannot get multiple records per page

I am working with a client who is trying to do a directory in Indesign. There are about 1,800 people with information like address, title, employer, phone, etc. This info is on an Excel spread sheet. I made a text, tab delimited and a CSV file from the spreadsheet. I set up a two column text box on each page and want these entries to fill the columns. I am only able to get one person's information per page. Multiple records per page yields no different result. I also had the multiple records option grayed out on a couple tries. I have tried this many times, even tried setting up a simple spread sheet with 9 items. No luck. HELP! I'm brand new to this feature.
Chris

the data merge function in indesign doesn't make "next record" merges like word does, but instead merges to fields within fixed text boxes, so one frame = one data merge result. when doing mailing labels in word, there is a field called "next record" which then calls in the next piece of information.
the "next record" field is a vital field which indesign doesn't have and i'd like… but that doesn't answer your question. i can see four ways of doing what you want to do:
1) do a mail merge in word and use the "catalog" feature and do the merge in word. format the word file appropriately using stylesheets, and once the merge is made, save the file and close it. THEN, place the file in indesign and then change the imported stylesheets into something which resembles more like what you want.
2) use indesign's data merge but make sure that multiple record layout is selected in the first dialog box when creating merged document; and that when previewing the records, the records appear to be in one column (even though they are still in separate text frames). merge the document, and in the new document, select all the text frames in the page and then run the MergeTextframes_ID.jsx script which can be found at http://ajarproductions.com/blo…..-indesign/ .this will have to be done page by page and then rethreaded each page, but it's a workaround
3) if the data in the datamerge is a csv, convert the csv to xml. if the csv is small (less than 100K) there is a converter online where the contents of the csv is copied into the converter. it is at http://www.creativyst.com/Prod/15/ . The next step is complicated and needs some knowledge of XML. my advice is to get hold of a book called "Designer's Guide to Adobe InDesign and XML" by James Maivald, and specifically read chapter seven and base your merge on this.
4) visit the third party providers link within the indesign page of the adobe site and have a look at products marketed there... i think teacup software and cacidi software sell products which do more advanced merges within indesign. they're not free though but are designed to handle big catalogues.
hope that helps.

Data Merge Multiple Records Per Page Greyed Out

I am using InDesign cs5.5. I am attempting to create a catalog with the data merge option. I am attempting to do a data merge from the Master Page.
As you can see in the image, I have inserted my fields from the data source file. All images, original file, and data source file are in the same folder. I am inserting this info on the left sheet of the master file. When I select "Create Merged Document" the "select multiple records per page" is greyed out, however, there is plenty of room on the page for the 8 records I want it to show. See image below.
After watching tutorials, reading, etc. I made sure that my document does not have facing pages. I deleted my "page 2" to avoid that conflict. I made sure that the placeholder "allows overwrite from the master". I also deleted my "cache"/settings" by doing "ctrl, alt, shift" when reopening the program. I read that it may be because the files need to be on the right hand sheet of the master, however, when I move my info to the right sheet, I get the following message.
I have watched the tutorial videos, read the entire help section regarding data merge, and have correctly created my data source file. I've tried everything I've seen on the forums, apart from uninstalling and reinstalling. Please tell me that someone can help me figure this out as soon as possible. I'm in crunch time!
Thanks a lot.

Thanks Peter. That helped me un-grey the multiple records. I was able to complete a data merge, however, this is what happens.
As you can see in this image, I have the margins setup the way I prefer, and the data merge previews correctly.
Once I click to merge, this is the new document I get - it's only putting one record per page (even though the multiple records per page is selected), and it inserts this layout, not onto actual pages in indesign. It looks reall odd.
And when you scroll down,
Any suggestions on fixing this?
Also, my InDesign freezes up when I try and do a merge of my entire sheet (182 items). The images above are when I tested doing just records 1-32.
Thanks in advance and thanks for being so prompt yesterday. Very helpful.

Printing multiple slides per page for pdf

Hey guys. I just downloaded 10.10.1 and I'm unable to print multiple slides per page for my pdf files. Usually before I print, I can choose an option if I want to have 4 or 6 slides per page printed (as this helps to save paper and is how I have my notes for school). But now, it says "copies per page" instead of "slides per page". So the print preview shows the same 1 slide printed 6 times on each paper, instead of 6 different slides on 1 paper (which what is what I was able to do before I downloaded Yosemite).
Does anyone know how to print multiple slides per page for pdf files???

Did you try the Layout panel? Page per sheet?

IPhoto 7.1.3 and printing multiple photos per page

I cannot get multiple prints to layout (or print) properly. IOW, I cannot get the product to render multiple photos to a single sheet layout.
- selected multiple photos (say 5)
- Hit Print icon (or select Print from File menu)
- Paper Size: choose 8.5x11
- Print Size: choose 3x5
- Hit 'Customize' button
- It is showing 1 photo per page (5 pages)
- Select 'Settings'
- Select 'Multiple photos per page'
- Hit 'OK'
- No change - still a single photo per page
- Print preview shows same - 5 pages each with only a single print.
- Same occurs if I originally select 2,3,4.... prints.
Perhaps noteworthy: I am using a printer (only available printer) that is attached to another iMac on my wireless network.
Any help appreciated. About 30 minutes searching this discussion board hasn't been fruitful.

Michael
Welcome to the Apple user discussion forums
- selected multiple photos (say 5)
- Hit Print icon (or select Print from File menu)
- Paper Size: choose 8.5x11
- Print Size: choose 3x5
When I do these steps my preview shows 4 photo on the page (the maximum number of 3 x 5 you can fit on an 9.5 x 11 sheet) without going to the customize menu - and it works on three different printers
Try deleting your iPhoto preferences (finder ==> "your username" ==>preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist), launch iPhoto, reset any preferences you have set and see if it will work
It should be very easy and straight forward with only the first four steps being needed for this

One Portal EAR per Portal Domain

We were adviced to keep only one portal based ear file per portal domain due to the Propagation, search features etc in WL Portal 10.1. Does the same restriction apply for 10.2 and 10.3? If yes, why? Thanks
Somerset

Hi Somerset,
thought I'd pitch in my $0.01...
Stuff in the WLP database is scoped to ear and webapp so you are fine running against a single database schema.
Regarding propagation: I think that if you are running multiple ear files, propagation process is still the same, you just need to make sure to deploy all the modified ear files to the target server.
Library is scoped to a single webapp so you won't be able to share library components across webapps/ears. I guess you could achieve partial sharing of some components (java code, jsps, etc.) with shared libraries but that won't work for page definitions, etc.
Cheers,
Petri

Multiple Layouts in a single JFrame

Hi,
Is it possible to have multiple layouts in a single JFrame ? What I need to do is that I need to have following components in a SINGLE content pane of a JFrame:-
A) 2 Labels
B) 1 Button
C) 1 4x4 Grid of buttons
Now implement (C) I need to use GridLayout for nide grid like looks like
mContentPane.setLayout(new GridLayout(4,4));
But (A) and (B) obviously shouldn't be part of Grid. So I assume I need to use different layout in the same content pane. Any idea how can I accomplish this ?
Thanks

Actual and Plan Versions annual view - Multiple versions per company code

Good Day,
Iu2019m creating an FI-CO query with an annual view of both Actuals and Plan Values, which uses period and version as input values. The dilemma is around the plan versions which are hardcoded per company codes (eg. 1 Company Code = versions 501 u2013 512)
Can anyone suggest a possible solutions as normally there is only one version used for planning but in this instance there are multiple versions per Company Code.
Currently the report is hardcoded for one Company Code and going forward it should cater for more than one(Company Company* 12 Version)
Kind Regards

Remove restriction on comp code. There could be 2 models.
1. Include comp code, value type and version in the rows. This way you get multiple records for a comp code. One record for actual data and one record each for plan versions. To have this model at the query, the data model in the cube also should be in this way (what we call as the account model), multiple records differentiated into actual/plan by valuetype and different versions by version.
2. Include comp code in rows. Create selections, one for actuals (restrict with key fig and value type 10, actuals), one for each plan versions (restrict key fig with value type 20, version 501. Create one selection for each version this way). This way we have one record per comp code with diff key fig for actual and plan versions. We call this as key fig model. To have this model at the query, the data model in the cube could be account model or key fig model. If it is key fig model then no need of selections. The key fig could be taken directly from the cube.
