Multiple related templates question

I have a template say Template A. I would like to create a sub template called Template B. Template B has all the format of Template A but also contains a different set of format within its Template A shell.
Is it possible to nest Template B within Template A? Whenever I change Template A I would like all pages to update including those that are spawned by Template B. Whenever I change Template B I would like just those pages spawned from Template B to change?

Yes. And I swear to you that this will NOT make your life any easier! Why not just use CSS to change the layout on the pages instead?

Acrobat Pro 9.5.5 - Multiple Page Template question

Hello,
I have a document with 2 pages that I have created as a template so I can try to spawn the pages. I am having problem finding the correct syntax to get both pages of my 2 page PDF to spawn.
This is the Javascript that am using that I found from the planet pdf website.
var expTplt = getTemplate("Client1");
expTplt.spawn(numPages,true,false);
Page 1 of my pdf is template "Client1" and Page 2 of my pdf is template "Client2"
I have tried to use this under the getTemplate command
("Client1","Client2") = this fails
("Client1, Client2") = this fails
("Client1")+("Client2) = this fails
I looked at the Javascript API documentation and I could not figure out what the correct syntax is.
It is possible to have both pages spawn? If I just have the "Client1" in, Acrobat will spawn page 1.
I am at a loss and any help would be appreciated. I am not much of a programmer at all.
Thanks.

Gilad,
Thank You!!! That was it. It is working now as I would like. I cannot believe that never crossed my mind. I need to read up on JavaScript within Acrobat.
Many thanks!
I missed your expTplt1 and expTplt2 code, I was using this and it seemed to have worked as well.
var expTplt = getTemplate("Client1");
expTplt.spawn(numPages,true,false);
var expTplt = getTemplate("Client2");
expTplt.spawn(numPages,true,false);

Can I create multiple presentation templates against one content item?

I want to create multiple presentation templates that publish the same content item in different ways.
As far as I can tell from the publisher GUI this is not possible.
Am I missing something?

It may not be feasible to have two PT associated with a DT technically. But there is a workaround / solution for your requirement. thats what i meant in my prev post.
To accomplish your requirement in a simple fashion try doing this
1) copy the contents of all PT, DT and Content Items with all its folders in the _NEWS (portlet templates) folder to a new folder called 'PortletA' (or) make use of the News portlet template to create a portlet
2) Now modify the DT's and PT's according to your requirement.
3) Create a portlet using "Published Content" webservice and configure the 'Main' to your portlet.
4) if you create and pblish new article, you can find two html's are getting published.
If this doesn't resolve your requirement,
Create two sets of Dt & Pt's. In the article PT, try to add the other Pt as "related items to publish", so on publishing one the other one gets published.

What could be causing my multiple response survey question to show a non-response in LMS report?

I have a 10 question survey that has been running fine and providing accurate responses in reports generated from my LMS. I made a property change to a multiple response type question that is now causing the reports to show a date/time (2003-01-01 18:00:00) response instead of the actual multiple responses the user made. The change I made to the question was to change the "Numbers property from" [ a), b), c) ] to [ 1), 2), 3) ]. This property change did not affect the reported responses for the single response questions, only the multi-response. This problem occured Using Captivate 4. I then tried using the same properties in Captivate 5.5 thinking it was a bug in CP4, but got the same results. Has anyone else run into this issue? I'm going to bring this to the attention of my LMS provider, but want to make sure CP is clean first.
Thanks,
Dave

First things first. I am not an LMS expert, so this is not about troubleshooting.
However, to ensure that your course works fine on a SCORM-compliant LMS, you can upload it to cloud.scorm.com and test it out. If the course works fine there, rest assured that it will work fine on any SCORM-compliant LMS. If your LMS team comes back with an issue after this, you can counter them with this evidence that the problem is with the LMS and not your course.

Creation of multiple geometric template

i am unable to do it.

Both geometric matching techniques rely on curves extracted from image to perform the matching. The two geometric matching techniques differ in how the curve information is used to perform the matching. The edge-based geometric matching method computes the gradient value of the edge at each point along the curves found in the image and uses the gradient value and the position of the point from the center of the template to perform the matching. The feature-based geometric matching method extracts geometric features from the curves and uses these geometric features to perform the matching.
You can find more detailed information in the NI Vision Concepts Manual here:
http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372916L-01/nivisionconcepts/geometric_matching_technique/
The article also explain when it is better to use one versus the other.
I couldn't test the templates yesterday, because you did not attach a match image.
I might be wrong, but another thing I noticed is that it looks like you thresholded the images prior to extracting the templates. In general, algorithms that need to extract edges from images, such as geometric matching, will work better when you provide them with the grayscale image, as opposed with a thresholded image. The contour extraction will be more accurate. Also, the algorithm does not only use contour information, but also grayscale information of the image. By thresholding the image, one removes a lot of information that the algorithm can use.
On a last note, combining templates into one is only going to help with speed. If speed is not an issue in your application, you can still learn with Edge Based matching and match all template. If there is a match, the character/number you looked for is the right one.
Another solution might be to use a reverse technique, still using Edge Based matching that seems to work better in your case. We sometimes use it to solve classification applications similar to what you are trying to do:
Instead of learning multiple templates and trying to locate them in your image, take the opposite approach: create a synthetic image that contain your templates (all rotated 1s on one line... all rotated 5s on another line etc). Then if you can locate and extract the number (using blob analysis) on the original image, you can extract that region, learn it as a template, and look for it in the synthetic image. The line you find it indicates which digit it is.
Again, this technique might work if you can extract the digit you're trying to identify from the original image. Performance wise, it is only interesting if learning the extracted digit on the fly is faster than trying to match all the separate templates (learning takes more time than matching).
It looks like you're trying to perform OCR on the image. Again, if the text is always located at the same place and you can draw a region of interest around it, you can try the OCR algorithm and define different classes that have the same label for the different rotated digits.
I tried to give you different possible approaches. Hope that was not too confusing.
Best regards,

Partial-credit scoring in multiple response and multiple hot-spot questions

Hello everyone,
I'm calling on your generosity in the spirit of the holidays to help out a noob. I would like to create matching, multiple-response and multiple-hot spot questions where the user receives credit based on the number of correct answers within the question. For example, in a matching question where there are four items; if the user gets 2 out of the four items matched correctly, I would like for him to receive 2 out of 4 points.
I understand that Captivate doesn't support partial-credit scoring of this type, but a few posts have implied that it can be done with variables. Is there anyone who can walk me through this process, or send me to a link that will walk me through it? (I've scoured these forums and tried the Cp tutorials, to no avail.) And if it's not asking too much, please make it understandable to someone who has very little experience with variables.
Thanks, and Merry Christmas.
JR
(Running CP 5 on Windows Vista)

Hello,
I did publish an article more specific on partial scoring, perhaps this could help you:
Partial scores and customized feedback
And since you are asking for more basic information, on my blog I point to some other articles to explain the meaning of variables with/without advanced actions. Feel free to have a look (there are more postings about advanced actions and links to articles over there):

Multiple wiki templates for a group?

Hi is it possible to add multiple custom templates to a group wiki and let the wiki user choose the template as they create a new page.
I want to have an overall theme for the group wiki, but also have pre-built pages that the user can choose, for instance on page will be for clients supplying a brief to us, so the new page will need to be formatted to show all the relevant information we require, but then other pages will need to be blank as they will be used for project discussions, I did think of making a dedicated "brief" wiki, but this would mean all our clients would see each others briefs, not a good idea.
Any ideas?

You may be able to implement this in JavaScript. The New Page dialog is generated by JavaScript and, by overriding it in a theme, you should be able to add a popup or checkbox to that dialog which adds content to the new page. This would require JavaScript knowledge. There's no support for this in the UI for version 1 of the wiki server.

Maintaining multiple query templates

Hi,
We created a generic query templates for SQL Query and this query template does not have any query specified inside the Query Template. The SQL query is assigned inside the xMII transaction. Instead of creating and maintaing multiple query templates for various SQL queries, we created this single query template and we use this query template by assigning the SQL query in xMII Transaction at runtime. Will there be any issues around this approach?
Thanks,
Sara

This approach limits the reusability/maintainability of your queries. If any query is to be used more than once (e.g. in a UI application or more than one BLS transaction), it makes sense to put it in its own query template. Also, if you want to take advantage of xMII's caching infrastructure, you should also do this.
There's also a small possibility in the future (I'm no longer with SAP, but just suggesting it is a possible outcome) that the SQL will not be dynamically assignable to avoid SQL code injection security issue(s).

A question regarding the use of multiple CSS templates

Hello,
I use Dreamweaver CS3. I tried to find information about this online, but I cannot seem to find anything at all. I was wondering if it is possible to use a completely differently designed template for a separate part of a website. From a marketing perspective, I understand that this concept may be impractical, because all websites should have consistently arranged information. However, the website I wish to change is not my own small business in any way. It is the website of the company that I work for, and it is a world-renown organization. Many university students access this website everyday. It was recently brought to my attention, that a proposed "brand-new" blogging section is going to be included in our website, and it was to have a different layout. We wish to use the same domain name, and simply change the style of the other part of the website.
I believe what one must do, is make sure that the .dwt (template) file points to a different CSS file, than the original one. Is this correct? The only reason that I have not tried this is because I am not sure what risks will be involved. It is also impossible to make a new page "from template", and then change the tinted uneditable text, so that it points to a different CSS file. Maybe you make a new CSS file and ensure it is in the same directory as the standard CSS file..? And when you click File-->New, you select the new template?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you to everyone who contributes or even reads this. Thanks again for coping with the many details of this message.
Kind regards,
Mr. V

I think you already know the answer to this. You need to have two unique Templates and two external stylesheets. For this discussion let's call them Main.dwt and Main.css - for the main site sections. Sub.dwt and Sub.css for the subsite. You can copy and paste the code from one file into a new blank page, then make required changes to it and Save As "Sub..."
Link Main.dwt to Main.css. Link Sub.dwt to Sub.css.
To create a new page from Template, Click File > New > Templates Tab and select one.

How to print multiple Smartform Templates

Good day Gurus,
I have 5 Smartform templates combined in one program. During printing if 1 data for each template is available, The pop-up screen also appears 5 times for me to print the templates. My question is how can I print the 5 templates using 1 pop-up screen. What I want is after pressing the PRINT button, all of the templates will automatically print.

Use tdnewid in the control parameters to create spool number on each template.

Working folder & template questions (Mac and Win)

I'm using Captivate for Mac (both 5.5 and 6). In the recording preferences (Project Info) there is a field for "Working folder" for FMR in Captivate 5.5 or Video Demo in Captivate 6.
For new blank projects, it appears that the Working folder is automatically generated to have a path name:
/private/var/folders/.....
Question #1: Where is this location on a Mac? (I can't find it.)
Question #2: Is this location different from the "Adobe Captivate Cached Projects" folder in my Documents folder on a Mac?
On a related topic, a client has provided me with a template that currently has this path for the Working folder:
C:\Users\JaneSmith\AppData\Local\Temp\CP344026233798Session\ForFMR344026233908
Obviously, this path is valid only on Jane Smith's Win PC and is useless for any other Captivate user, whether on Windows or Mac. In fact, when I modify certain default preferences for this template, I get an error message: "The specified working folder could not be created. Please enter a valid location to continue." So I have to change it to a local Mac path.
Question #3: Which location do I use for the Working folder? Do I use the "/private/var/folders/" location (wherever that is). Do I create any old folder? Or do I use the "Adobe Captivate Cached Projects" folder?
Question #4: I need to share this modified template with several Captivate users working on this project (could be using either Mac or Windows). If a template contains a working folder specific to my computer, must every user re-modify the template and re-set the working folder location for his/her specific computer?
Question #5: If I'm not mistaken, temp/working folders for similar software are usually set at the application level, not the project/document level. Is there a good reason why that convention isn't followed in Captivate?

Ebay listing template questions (DW CC)

Hi.
I'm thinking of subscribing to DW CC, but just have a few questions re eBay templates.
When developing an ebay template in DW, I will be hosting my pics on third-party sites (i.e. Photobucket). Is it possible to upload the pics to the site, grab the url, and then work with the image 'live' from within DW?
I'd like to utilize CSS in the template; is this possible to add in an eBay template? Slightly related; is it possible to use Google Fonts in said template?
Many thanks!
Tony.

You can set DW to display external files, including images, CSS, and javascript. So, I believe the answer to your question is *yes*, although you cannot modify those external files in any way while viewing them in DW.
As for using CSS in an eBay template, I'm not sure. But I believe Google fonts would work as well.
