Page Template Substitutions Order

I just discovered that my AppEx (3.1 on XE) is not substituting #PARENT_TAB_CELLS#, #TAB_CELLS# or #HOME_LINK# when they are come after #BOX_BODY# in the template. Does anyone know if that a bug or by design? The documentation indicates that #FORM_OPEN# must come before #BOX_BODY# and #FORM_CLOSE# must come after but it does not specifically say anything about the order of other substitution strings.

Hello,
It's designed that way, since 99% of the time that's how it's used.
If you are trying to place content regions above tabs I suggest you use one of the #REGION_POSITION_NN# substitutions.

Carl

Hi Patrick,
The version info is: wwv_flow_api.set_version(p_version_yyyy_mm_dd=>'2009.01.12');
This should be wwv_flow_api.set_version(p_version_yyyy_mm_dd=>'2012.01.01');
... but this error is due to a manual modification of the export file.
We parameterise some values, so that the we can use the old-school DEFINE variables in our deploy process via SQL/plus.
One of the developers made a copy-paste error when doing that ...
So there is no bug !
Thanks for the tip !!
Kind regards,
Karel

#PAGE.CUSTOMIZEPAGE# substitution tag problem on template based pages

I've created an Unstructured UI template that includes the #PAGE.CUSTOMIZEPAGE# substitution tag.
It works fine on a normal page, but it doesn't render the 'Customize' link if the page is based on a template. I know that I am authorized to customize the page, because a Portal Smart Link on the same page allows me to do just that. Does anybody know whether there are any issues with this substitution tag on template based pages? (I've used the #PAGE.EDITPAGE# tag in the same Unstructured UI Template with no problems on either normal, or template based pages.)
Oracle Portal Version 10.1.2.0.2.
I started this thread on the Portal - General forum, but now realise it's more relevant here.
Original thread: Customize Page link not rendered on template-based sub page.
Thanks
Matthew

Just a guess, but it seems that the site uses server side includes (the shtml extension and there is a ssi include in your template). You will probably need a testserver running (like XAMPP) on your local system to preview this in a browser.

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.

User interface template substitution tags problem

Portal 9.0.2.0.3 (Upgraded from 9.0.2.2.14A)
Hi all,
I am designing an unstructured user interface for use with my portal reports.
I have located a help document called 'Unstructured user interface template substitution tags' from the standard portal help pages.
My problem is that only a few of these tags are actually being substituted for their correct values when I run my reports. For example the help document says the #PAGE.CUSTOMIZEPAGE# tag should be substituted with HTML text hyperlink to the customize page dialog. On my report this tag and the majority of others are substituted with a blank line.
Any ideas?

Same problem exists with the #TITLE# tag. However, SOMETIMES (I don't know how or why) the tag shows up. If I find out what the secret is, I'll let you know.
Anyone else have any input?

Preference or Page Item in Page Template

Hi,
I'm trying to place dynamic header and footer text on my pages. I am trying to include a variable reference in the Body section of my page template. I can reference Static Substitution strings, but I cannot get either preferences or page items to display. How do I get data driven values into the page template? Thanks!

Bill,
Sorry for the misdirection. I made the popular error of thinking that I had knowledge which I did not, in fact, possess.
I adjusted your page so that it might work the way you intend. It turns out that it is not possible to reference preferences using &ITEM_NAME. notation, only page/application items and static substitution strings. Setting and getting named preferences must be done with the API as illustrated in the new page process: htmldb_util.set_preference(p_preference => 'IIR_CLASS',p_value => 'TESTING99');
:IIR_CLASS := htmldb_util.get_preference(p_preference => 'IIR_CLASS');... although items can be sourced from named preferences and those items themselves can have "User" persistence just like preferences.

Bug with page templates

Hi
I mentioned this in another thread, which was about something completely different, so I thought I'd raise it separately so that it wasn't missed.
In page templates (not sute if this is introduced in 4 or not) but you cannot have the #TAB_CELL# substitution after #BOX_BODY# as it's not substituted. This can be easily reproduced by editing the page template to move the position of this substitution string.
Is this a known bug?
Sara

I'm beginning to doubt there is a point in templates when you have to guess what Oracle believe people will do 99% of the time.
That was two years ago, so hopefully someone will find Carl's notes soon... or see that really templates should allow developers the flexibility to decide how their application should look. :-) I'm sure this could be corrected to allow full flexibility especially when it's clearly a known issue.
Thanks for finding the post so quickly, I had searched the forums before posting.

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 Edit #HEAD#

Hello
Is there a way to edit what is generated in the #HEAD# substitution string in a page template?
Thanks
Max

Hi,
Is I understand there are not really good way.
In your page attributes turn option: Include Standard CSS and JavaScript to "No".
Then create custom page template and in page template header load what you need e.g. from standard Apex js and css files.
I think this could be one improvement are for next Apex releases

Substitude a value for Page Template #REGION_POSITION_06# in template 15

I want to define some HTML code to be inserted into #REGION_POSITION_06# of the Page Template 15 in version 3.2
How/where would I define a string of HTML code for it to use.
The intention is to insert some Text that appears below the #Logo#
I thought that perhaps the "Application> Definition> Substitution String" area might be the place to do this,
but I have not had any success in my format there.

Hello:
If the text to be inserted is static, you simply add the text to the template. However, if the inserted text is dynamic you could create an application item which is populated with the needed HTML as needed.You then reference this application item in the template using the '&' notation. For example
&APP_ITEM.

Template Substitutions

I've just hit the problem described in this thread:
Vertical right-hand tabs
regarding #TAB_CELLS# substitution being made only before #BOX_BODY#.
Did this turn out to be by design or is it an issue?
I've been interested in several threads relating to template substitutions, which spark the following questions:
Are all of the restrictions on which substitutions are supported "by design"?
Are they for underlying technical reasons or following more abitrary reasoning?
Are these restrictions likely to be changed in future releases?
I'm particularly interested in: #TAB_CELLS# not being restricted by #BOX_BODY# placement; #TITLE# being available anywhere in the page; #PAGINATION# etc "Before Rows" to allow pagination controls in <thead>/<tfoot> elements.

Hello,
It's designed that way, since 99% of the time that's how it's used.
If you are trying to place content regions above tabs I suggest you use one of the #REGION_POSITION_NN# substitutions.

Carl
