Page Template selection

Hello,
I am using ADF Faces 11g.
I am trying to let users to design their own pages using predefined page templates.
I wonder if it is possible to reach registered page templates (which are listed in pagetemplate-metadata.xml) and all facetrefs defined in them, programmatically. I want to list some of the page templates for user selection, then i want the user to be able to fill it's facetrefs with their own content.
Any ideas?

Hi,
you can reference facets at runtime by looking them up from the JSF viewroot. So you don't need to bother with facetRefs because these are only required at designtime to specify which facet is used in which area of the template.

  • Old custom templates in Pages 5 .select background item?

    I have some custom templates from iWork 09, that worked fine until this pages 5.22 came along.
    They are in Word Processing Layout, and also have a separate text box or two.
    In Pages 5.22 I can not longer select them, they just appear on the screen as the "Type to enter text' words.
    the only way I can select the box is to 'Convert to page layout.
    but if i do that, then all the other custom text is deleted, ...a warning is given and other text is gone.
    In previous pages, there was an option to 'Select background Item' or a similar entry that allowed me to select these particular text boxes, but in the is new Pages that option is no longer there now the Inspector pane has been changed.
    The Arange Tab appears in Page layout, but not in the WP layout...it must have been there before otherwise how else would I have added the text box?
    Anyone have any idea how I can make all my old templates usable in this new  of Pages
    Thanks

    In the Template Chooser for Pages ’09, there is a category heading named “My Templates,” and by default, there is a physical folder in the following location called My Templates. You are permitted to create arbitrary folder(s) in this location through File > Save As Template… for perceived organization. However, the Template Chooser, unlike the Finder, does not show these sub-folders in its left-hand navigation panel. Instead, it shows all templates (including sub-folder contents) in one view — thus subverting your practical organizational goal.
    <login directory>/Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My Templates
    When you are presented with the file dialog during the Save as Template… activity, it defaults to the My Templates folder location. Click the selector that shows My Templates, and choose the next higher Templates folder. Now, you create a new organizational folder here (mine is called Journals), and it will show up separately under the My Templates category heading — and the related templates are not shown in the general My Templates folder item view.
    If I were to manually create empty folders in the above Templates folder using Finder, as long as they are empty, Pages will not list them in the Template Chooser.

  • A method to create completely customized photo book page templates from scratch in Lightroom 5

    I was able to successfully create completely customized Lightroom 5 page templates (including altering the number of, positions, and sizes of pictures) by making edits to the templatePages.lua file(s) in the Lightroom directory tree.  I have never heard of the LUA file format before, but it is ASCII and looks somewhat like XML, so it was fairly easy to decipher.  Here is a high-level description of how I did it.  This applies to Lightroom 5 on Windows 7.  If this doesn't make any sense to you, then don't try it - you're likely in over your head.  Although my description is brief and lacking in detail, it should enable someone who is capable of handling this to figure it out with a little of careful trial and error.  Do this at your own risk - if you screw-up your installation, catalog, or computer, it's your own fault.  It all worked great for me.
    First, open the "<lightroom 5 install directory>\Templates\Layout Templates" folder.  Then navigate to the template set that contains the template you would like to use as a starting point for the new template.  For example, "12x12-blurb\clean12x12".  Make a back-up copy of the templatePages.lua file in case you mess something up and want to revert.
    There will be a bunch of .jpg files in this directory that each contain a preview image of the layout that carries the same name as the .jpg file.  Find the one that you would like to use as a starting point.  Take note of the name of the file, which is probably something similar to "page_26_preview.jpg".   Duplicate the file and rename it to something unique, such as "dummy_preview.jpg".  It's just temporary, so it doesn't matter what name you pick, provided it is a legal file name with no spaces.
    Next, open the templatePages.lua file in a text editor.  I suggest using one that can automatically recognize and format ULA (such as Notepad++, which is open source and free to use).  Then search the file for the unique portion of the file name you took note of earlier, such as "page_26".  It will point you to a section in the LUA file that describes that particular template.  Carefully copy that entire section, including a balanced number of brackets (starting with the two brackets and commas before "children" and ending with the one bracket and comma after the "title" line.  Paste the copied text into the end of the file on a new line immediately following the bracket and comma after the "title" field for the last page template section (right near the end of the file).  Change the "previewName" field to the name of the preview file copy that you created ("dummy_preview.jpg" for me) and the "name" field to the name of the new template you're creating ("dummy" for me, since it is just temporary).  Next change at least one of the hex characters in the "pageID" field such that the new template will have a unique page identifier.
    Now you can make edits to the photo and text fields included in the new section, using other templates in the template file as examples.  "x" and "y" fields are coordinates (in pixels) for the bottom-left corner of the picture or text field, "height" and "width" are the width of the field in pixels.  The fields should be mostly self-explanatory, but make sure that the "photoindex" fields are filled-in starting from 1 to N, where N is the number of pictures in the template, with no duplicates or gaps.  They do not need to be in order.  Treat the "textIndex" fields similarly for text fields.  If you want to add an additional picture or text field, simply copy the section describing a picture or text field from another template and paste it, carefully, into the new template that you are creating.
    Once you are done, save the file (you may get interference from Windows UAC, in which case save the file elsewhere and the move it back to the correct directory).  Then open Lightroom.  Create a new photobook, and choose the new template for one of the pages, remembering that the preview image will look like the JPG that you copied.  Voila!  If you didn't screw anything up, you should see a page based on your new template.  Then right-click the page and select "Save as custom page", which will cause a fresh preview file to be created for your new template and your template to be copied to the "custom pages" section of the template menu.  The new section you added to the "templatePages.lua" and the "dummy" preview file can now be deleted, since they are no longer needed.  I save them so that I may simply overwrite them the next time I need to create a customized template.
    Enjoy, and please share any clarifications, corrections, or enhancements to my process.

    This post was great!  Thank you so much.  But I am hoping you know one more thing related to this.  In the "transform" section of the definition (where the x/y coordinates are set along with height and width) there is an option called "angle".  I was hoping that changing this value would allow me to offset the angle of the picture.  However, if I put any value there other than 0 the template becomes unusable.
    Do you happen to know what this option does?
    I haven't looked into the files, so this is just a guess based on how some graphic applications work. It's common to think of rotating a shape as pivoting around a center point, but It's possible that the file sets a value for the rotation point not at the center. In some graphics applications, you can set a shape's pivot at any corner or in the middle of any side, of the rectangle that contains the whole shape.
    So, your value may be rotating the shape around a pivot that moves the shape into some area that upsets the behavior of other shapes. Just a thought.

    Peter's point is a good one.  I would also assume that the "angle" property allows you to rotate an image, but I haven't tried it myself.  One thing to investigate - are there any page templates included in LR that have image placeholders that are at an angle (I don't recall any, off-hand)?  If so, looking at the associated .lua file could provide insight into how an angled image placeholder should be described.

  • How do I get my pages template content to show up correctly? It just shows up in opaque pink!

    When I select my template to use in pages, the images and fill in text does not show up at all - just opaque images. Please help! Thank you!

    @fruhulda:
    Thank you for your follow up.
    I tried using an existing Pages template. The Pages version is 3.0 ('98) and my MacOs system is 10.6.8. Any pointers you could offer would be most appreciated.
    Thanks!

  • How can I make background objects in a template selectable

    I have a Pages template with my signature embedded. It should move with the text but I cannot select it to make it do so.
    Does anyone know how this can be done in the new Pages 5?

    Thank you for the suggestions, Peter, but I'm afraid it doesn't work.
    I guess I'll just wait for Apple to re-install this feature, and meanwhile revert to my older, perfectly reliable Pages 09.

  • How do you store Pages templates in iCloud?

    I have a MacBook Pro and an iPad 2 and have made several templates in Pages on my MacBook and now want those to be on my iPad, but it says the file format is not supported.  Is there any chance this will be coming to the iCloud or is it a pipedream?  It's really useless for me to have Pages now because I need the templates for school and work and it ends up making more work for me that I cannot just use

    Create the Template. Go to: File > Save as Template. Select iCloud from the drop down menu. Click Save.

  • Numbers (or Pages) Template Cannot Be Opened From Outside the Application

    Ever since the upgrade to Mavericks, I cannot open a Numbers (or Pages) template without being asked.....
    Do you want to add this custom template to the Template Chooser?  Then my only options are Cancel or Add to Template Chooser.
    If I cancel, it won't open anything.
    But this template is already in my Template Chooser.
    So the only way to open a template in Numbers (or Pages) is to open the application first, and then click "New", and choose the template.
    I can't figure out a way to open the template from outside the application, which is very very handy, rather than having to open the application every time that I want to access a template.
    How can I open a template simply by clicking on it?

    Yes, the problem is that opening the template from outside of the application will not open the application, showing the document.  I only get this....

    Put your Pages or Numbers document on your desktop and open it by double-clicking it, and you'll understand.  You can't do it, even if the template is in your template chooser.
    The only way to do this now is to open the application, select "New", and the select the template.  So you cannot open a template from outside the application....only from within.

  • Creating a New ADF Page Template

    -- I posted this in the WebCenter forum but since it is primarily around ADF I thought I would post here also
    -- Extending WebCenter Spaces 11.1.1.3: Creating New Page Template w/Float Div
    Hi all,
    I am attempting to create a new group space page template for Spaces that has a floating div on the right side that will have content wrap around it. It should look similar in concept to the image in this link:
    http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/tutorial0104.htm
    This seems like it should be simple enough but I need to allow dynamic content to be added each region with Oracle Composer. Currently when I am testing this and add content the two regions end up in distinct columns. This appears to be a result of the html elements that get wrapped around the content by the ADF tags.

    Hi ,
    I understand that you want to be able to select content type when creating a wiki page to a Wiki Page library. In browser ,you cannot add content types to a wiki page library .You need to edit the library in SharePoint Designer.
    Open the site in SharePoint Designer.
    Click on the library. Check ‘Allow management of content types’ in the Settings section.
    Then you can add content types to this page library.
    Then you can add content types in the Site Content Types gallery which inherit from the Wiki Content type.
    Add the newly added content type to the Wiki Page Library.
    In this way ,when you add a new page in the Wiki Page library ,you can choose a different content type .
    Edit the content type in Library Settings .Choose Advanced Settings for the content type .Here you can upload new page for the content type .
    Thanks,

  • Placeholder in Pages template can't be replaced.

    Hi there!
    Me again with another Pages template problem.
    One of my templates (named "Einladung" - "invitation" in English) has an image which is marked as placeholder when I move the mouse pointer over it. However, when I try to replace the image with another picture from the media window, the image is not replaced. It just drops the new image over the old one. Size and form of the (new) image is not adjusted either.
    Is this a bug in the template - or can it be fixed - maybe somewhere in preferences?
    In the other templates the placeholders are working OK.

    OK now I have found the problem. The text and the placeholder with the image are Grouped. That is why I at first couldn't see that is was a placeholder there. While being grouped the placeholder image can't be changed. You need to ungrouped the objects.
    Select the image/text object > go to menu Format > Arrange > Ungroup
    Place your image in the placeholder and group it with the text if you need it. The text can be changed it seems even when the objects are grouped.

  • Can I have data from Numbers automated to embed to Pages template?

    I am creating both a database and a document resource for a large archival project. I would like to know if there is a means to enter the data into a spread sheet in Numbers and them import each of the cells into a separate window in Pages.
    For example, I would have cells for contact info. Could I automate a Pages template to import that data into a window?
    The Pages documents would be a newsletter design to present the data of each person as a visually accessible version of the data.
    Some of the data would be:
    Current contact info.
    years at a location
    yes/no answers to some basic questions.
    etc.
    Other items in the Pages document would be imported directly - ie photos, etc.

    That is called a merge.
    Pages can merge data from both Numbers' tables and from AddressBook.
    Of the two AddressBook is usually less difficult, but obviously has less ability to create custom fields.
    You create the merge fields inside Pages with Menu > Insert > Merge Field > select which data and then use the Link Inspector to tell it which Application, document and what fields to merge from.
    You can not merge images and Pages merges will not do multiple merges per page eg if you have a set of data for Tom Jones and another for John Smith Pages will generate separate pages for each.
    You can have multiple references to Tom Jones on the same page, but not to both Tom Jones and John Smith. There are ways around this but it is a bit clumsy.

  • Pages Template help (placeholder on every page).

    Hi,
    I have this problem with using the Pages template for writing a Resume. Namely when I place my photo in a placeholder, it is also present on every following page. And I don't know how to remove it so that it stays on the first page only.
    Plz help

    SonyBoy,
    Welcome to Apple discussions.
    The reason your photo (or even the placeholder photo) will repeat on every page is because it's been defined as a master object. Master objects are designed to repeat like that. To change it to a normal photo, select it, then click on Format > Advanced > Move Object to Page. After that, it shouldn't repeat.

  • Calling a stored workspace procedure/function in page template

    I have an unusual puzzle. I am trying to find a way to call a stored procedure or function in a page template; ie, through HTML/javascript.
    I maintain a website with several dozen applications and I currently have the page templates in all of these applications subscribed to one master template, so that changes can be made in one place and implemented across all the applications. So far, the only content I can display on every page in every application through page template subscription is static content; dynamic content (ie content generated based on data in the database) is implemented page-by-page (or application-by-application).
    I'm wondering if there is a way to call stored procedures/functions from the page template to create dynamic content (based on the :APP_USER identity, for example). htmldb_Get() doesn't seem to be helpful, because as far as I can tell it only calls on-demand application processes, not workspace procedures/functions.
    Is there any way at all that a workspace procedure/function can be called directly from the page template (eg with a javascript function of some kind)? Again, I am trying to avoid having to use any application/page-level apex entities (items, processes, etc) so that I can just put the javascript or whatever in the page template and refresh all the applications in my workspace.
    Thanks in advance!

  • Page Template Popup with Dynamic Region TaskFlow

    Hi.
    I have a Page Template that is used extensively in my application to provide a consistent explorer panel containing tree links to various pages in the application. I'm trying now to enable users to edit configuration via a tree link. I would like to implement this as a Popup in the page template which contains a dynamic region that contains a bounded Task FLow (so I can control the transaction for the edit activity). I'm running into all manner of issues...
    The Tree node is defined as follows:
    <f:facet name="cognition_model_view.viewRepListVO">
           <af:group id="pt_g4">
              <af:commandImageLink id="pt_ot15" text="#{node.Viewname}"

              </af:commandImageLink>
            </af:group>
    </f:facet>The property listeners are to hold values that will be passed as parameters to the region's task flow.
    The Popup is defined here:
    <af:popup id="pt_p_edView" contentDelivery="lazyUncached"
                  popupCanceledListener="#{backingBeanScope.editPopupTFHandler.cancelPopup}"
                  popupFetchListener="#{backingBeanScope.editPopupTFHandler.showPopup}"
                  binding="#{backingBeanScope.editPopupTFHandler.editPopup}">
            <af:panelWindow id="pt_pw1"
                            title="#{backingBeanScope.templateBacking.editViewName} - Edit View Configuration"
                            contentHeight="250" contentWidth="500" stretchChildren="first" modal="true">
                <af:region value="#{bindings.dynamicRegion1.regionModel}" id="pt_r1"/>
            </af:panelWindow>
        </af:popup>The taskflow binding for the template is as follows:
        <taskFlow id="dynamicRegion1" taskFlowId="${backingBeanScope.editPopupTFHandler.dynamicTaskFlowId}" xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/adf/controller/binding">
          <parameters>
            <parameter id="inputApplicationName" value="#{backingBeanScope.templateBacking.editViewAppName}"/>

            <parameter id="inputViewName" value="#{backingBeanScope.templateBacking.editViewName}"/>
          </parameters>
        </taskFlow>The managed bean to hold the dynamic taskflowId (editPopupTFHandler) is referenced in the adfc-config.xml file at "backingBean" scope, and looks like this:
    public class editPopupTFHandler {
        private String taskFlowId = "/WEB-INF/editViews/editViewsTF.xml#editViewsTF";
        private String emptyTaskFlowId = "";
        private String currentTaskFlowId = taskFlowId;
        private RichPopup editPopup;
        public editViewPopupTFHandler() {
        public String getDynamicTaskFlowId() {
            return currentTaskFlowId;
        public void cancelPopup(PopupCanceledEvent pce) {
            currentTaskFlowId = emptyTaskFlowId;
        public void showPopup (PopupFetchEvent popupFetchEvent) {
               currentTaskFlowId = taskFlowId;
        public void setEditPopup(RichPopup editPopup) {
            this.editPopup = editPopup;
        public RichPopup getEditPopup() {
            return editPopup;
    }If I don't define the bean at backingBean scope, I get a Target Unreachable error from any page using the template.
    When I attempt to use the link to the popup, the popup displays but the region content does not. Is this a scoping issue?
    Additionally, after pressing combinations of the 2 commandimagelink components, the first link stops submitting... this may be a side-effect of the region display though?
    Again, as I'm quite new to ADF I don't know how to overcome or avoid these issues, or whether there is a better method to achieve an edit capability in a popup window from a page template.
    Thanks for your help. I'm using JDeveloper 11.1.2.1.0 by the way.

    Hello again. I've managed to get the dynamic region displaying once I restarted JDeveloper and re-created the Region and backingBean. This has happened before - is JDeveloper known to get "confused" (like me!) in this way?
    There are still issues though. The backingBean contains a PopupCanceledListener as follows:
        public void cancelPopup(PopupCanceledEvent pce) {
            System.out.println("CANCEL POPUP - Current Task FLow now empty");
            currentTaskFlowId = emptyTaskFlowId;  // where emptyTaskFlowId = ""
            System.out.println("CANCEL currentTaskFlowId = " + currentTaskFlowId);
        }Simple enough, but the dynamicTaskFlowId is not holding its cleared value. Subsequent call to the getter shows a non-null value...?
    The Popup has the ContentDelivery="lazyUncached" and ChildCreation="deferred". The TaskFlow Binding has Refresh="default" and activation="deferred". With these property values the Popup is displays the correct value on its first use but then keeps that same value on any subsequent selection. I don't know whether this is because of the TaskFlow not correctly resetting or something else...
    Can anyone help me please. This is beyond frustrating. The behaviour of these various property settings is not at all predictable for me... Thanks.

    how do I work out what pages templates have in them ?

    Hi c,
    "Instinctive" (and "Intuitive", the more common term) seem to be often used where "what you're used to" would be a more accurate choice. Nothing about Page Layout is particularly instinctive if you've never done it before.
    Regarding 'greying out' some of the tools: Tools and menu items go grey when they aren't available. For example, you can't move an object to the front if you don't have an object selected (or if the selected object is the only thing in the document), or if the selected object is already further forward than anything else in the document. Anytime it is possible to use the tool/menu item in the current context, the tool/item will be active, and shown in dark type.
    You mention you are headed toward a "business plan/power point thing." The first (business plan) makes me think in terms of print, and something to be produced from a word processing template rather than page layout one. The second part say 'this will be projected on a screen' and says 'Keynote would be a better application for this task than Pages.'
    Keynote is a presentation tool, designed to produce documents that will be presented on a screen (ie. designed for the same type of documents as Powerpoint was built to produce).
    Pages has two basic document types, both aimed at producing documents that will be printed:
    Word processing—used for things like letters and reports. In general, documents that are mostly text, but that may have some illustrations, charts, or other graphics objects inserted into them.
    Page layout—used where there's a mix of graphics and text, with the text usually coming in smaller chunks.
    The biggest difference between them is that a 'blank' page layout document is really 'blank'. It can be thought of as a page sized blank canvas onto which you can place containers for text (text boxes), shapes, images, charts, or containers (placeholders) for images or other objects.
    A blank word processing document can also accept the objects and containers listed above, but also includes a text layer (where text can be entered directly, without the need to place it into a text box), and a background layer (where objects can be placed behind the text layer).
    If the above helps you choose the type of document you want to have as the end product, we can then take a look at one of the templates for that type and look at deconstructing it.
    Regards,
    Barry
