Pages-modifying a template

Greetings--
I'm with a personal stationary template--but the textbox at the base of the page gets cuoff when printed. When I unhide the format, I can see that it is halfway blow the page cutoff. How can I move this textbox up so that it will not be cutoff? For that matter, how do I reposition a standard formatted template??
JB

To my knowledge you cn't alter the standard templates but I did the following:
- load whatever template you want
- make whatever changes
- save as a new template]
From this point onwards you will find the original template unaltered and under
"My templates" the one you have changed.
Does this somehow help ?

How do I modify the template used in the Photo Gallery module

I notice the Photo Galleries are rendered as an HTML table and I would like to make a small modification to the way the gallery is rendered on the page.
Basically I just want to wrap a DIV around the <img> tag so I can control the look of the image via my own CSS.
I see there is the ability to modify Module Templates, but the photo gallery module is not listed there.
Where can I access the template used for a photo gallery?
Alternatively I will need to display the images myself using an XML feed and jQuery, but I would rather use BC's own modules when I can.

Hi David,
There is no template for the photo Galleries. But if you are using Firebug you can find out the css values and add your own modification by adding CSS by the same selector as the current gallery to your own page and use the !Important value to over write the gallery css.

Changing titles on pages assigned to templates

The title field on pages assigned to templates is grayed out in the code. I have searched help and it says the field is editable on the page after the template is assigned. Not happening. Help said these could be changed from Modify>Page Properties or by typing the title in the field and neither are working. I even went to the default.html and tried to see if something was wrong, but all appeared normal.
Any ideas?

This is the sign of an improperly made template.
Do this -
Create a new page (Basic HTML).
Use FILE | Save as Template....
Look at the code in the head region of the page, particularly the editable
region around the <title> tag, and the other editable region in the head
called "head".
Make your template file look like that.
Always use FILE | Save as Template when you create your templates and you
won't have this problem again.

New pages made From Template messed up!

Hello,
I have made a template that is not yet finished... I decided
to test it out, but when I make new pages from it, the formatting
is messed up (in any new pages that I create from the template).
This of course is happening prior to uploading to the pages... (I
need to make many different pages from the template but cannot
proceed because of this...)
If I preview the new ‘messed up’ page in Safari
(that is by clicking the Preview button in Dreamweaver itself), it
is almost OK, but the background image does not show up. Could
anyone suggest what I might need to do to get the ‘new’
page to appear fine in Dreamweaver itself.
I am new to Dreamweaver and have just started with it since
moving from GoLive...
Thanks in advance.

If it would be considered a bug, then many programs would
have it! As a
general rule of thumb, it's best to avoid any characters in
your
file/pathnames other than letters, numbers, and
hyphens/underscores. That
would eliminate spaces, quotes, ampersands, parentheses, etc.

It should appear, so there must be something wrong in the
resulting code.
Can we see it?

Name of editable instance inserted on page based on template

I use a template that has an editable area named "scripts."
The code, when I open the template in Dreamweaver, looks like this:

However, when I use a browser to go to a page based on that
template, the word "scripts" appears at the upper left corner of
the page. You can see an example here:
http://www.ellenfinkelstein.com/powerpoint_tip_link_and_return.html
When I view the source in my browser, the code reads like
this:
scripts
Why does the name of the area appear between the tags and
therefore on my page, when it's not in the original code? I've just
modified the template and uploaded all the changed pages, so I know
that they reflect the current template.
Thanks for any help!

Change this -
scripts
to this -

in the child page.

Can you Bulk "Disable" Pages in a Template?

Hi there,
Just new to BC - I'm creating a site from a template, which by defalut has about 30 pages "Enabled"... is there a way to "bulk enable" or bulk "disable" pages from within a template in BC?
I only want to use say 4 of the 30 odd pages in a template, do i have to manually go through each page to "Disable" the ones that I don't want to show?
There are check boxes to the left of the page titles, indicating that this type of thing "could" occur (ala wordpress)
Am I missing something?
Cheers
Dave

Thanks for the speedy reply Liam
Reason for disabling and or deleting so many pages is i have used a template that has come with 60 odd pages.. we only need 5 or 6
To make it easy for end user to see only actual pages he needs to edit i want to delete or hide the unwanted ones.
This is a standard feature amongst all the leading open source CMS's so am a little surprised why you would be asking.
I am probably missing something obvious as I am new to BC so i stand open to correction.
Is this a feature really being considered by BC? It was supposed to be near in 2012
cheers

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

Ever since the upgrade to Mavericks, I cannot open a Pages (or Numbers) 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 Pages (or Numbers) 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....
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.
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.

How to print multiple footers for each page in RTF template xml report.

Hi,
How to print multiple footers for each page in RTF template xml report.
i am able to print ( two sets ) ...
up to last page ( one template ) and for last page ( another template).
i want to change the footer information based on the group value printed in the report ( it might be 5 to 6) In every report run.. can you please check and let me know do we have any feasibility to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
KAP.

You can remove all other logic, like last page only contents (start@last-page:body), etc and section breaks if any you have inserted manually.
Just have for-each@section logic.
It would be difficult for me to guess what you have done without looking at your RTF or describing here.

When i run the report in the registered view, I am able to see the earlier version and it doesnt show me the updated changes.
I am using 8.1.1.3 siebel and BIP 10.1.3.3.1 on local.
Looking at the metalink found "How To Upload Modified RTF Template Files In The Siebel Application For BI Publisher Reporting [ID 1136418.1]" which is related to server but I am working on local database
Please find attached the template, xml file. can you please look into this and update me ASAP

How do I change a single page in a template site without detaching it?

I'm using a template for the first time. Please help. The template has an editable content area that is a certain size. At the bottom of the page (below this editable content area) is a footer that is part of the template and is thus non-editable on all pages except for the main template page.
Here is the problem: I want to put a taller image on one page (the image will go in the editable content area) but it is taller than the content area I had set aside in the template. Once I place it there, the footer (which is fixed in the template) is across the lower part of the image.
I don't want to detach the page from the template unless I have to because I want updates to be site-wide. How do I enlarge the content area on that one page so that it will not affect the content area on the other pages and will still, on that one page, move the footer down so it won't be across the image?
I have tried a lot of different things. Thanks for answering here and at this e-mail: [email protected] I appreciate it. Richard

Without seeing your page, this seems less like a template problem and more of a design strategy problem.
You should be building flexible pages that can handle increased content, text-sizes, image sizes, etc...
CSS height property is a restriction in all but IE browsers. Either remove height property from your content areas or consider using a more flexible min-height.
More on min- and max- height & widths --
http://www.quirksmode.org/css/width.html
Hope that helps,

Header and trailer pages in report templates

Hi:
I wonder how can i make header and trailer pages in the tamplate reports , so that the objects in the template header & footer report would be inherited to the generated reports. I use Oracle reports 6.0.8 and there is no header section, niether Trailer section in the Template Editor, I've read in the reports online help :"You can use the margin and body of the Header and Trailer sections to create a Header and Trailer page as in earlier releases. In future releases, you will be able to add and delete sections.", is there any method i can use to make header&trailer pages in the template.

I have the same question. This is what I found on Metalink.
goal: How To Define A Header/Trailer Section In A Reports Template Definition File (TDF)
fact: Oracle Reports Developer
fix: It is not possible to have a HEADER/TRAILER section in a Reports Template Definition File (TDF). Templates do not need to have a HEADER/TRAILER section, infact there is no sectioning in a template. They just define the visual layout when applied against a report section.
This did not answer my question!

I then created a New Page from this above Template. I did no alteration to this new page and just saved it as index.html but when previewing it in the browser, the Spry drop down menu is not working and the page displays as follows:
Here is my site map:
Any help to show where I am going wrong would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Dear Nancy
Very grateful for your reply.
On Design View and Preview in browsers the index.dwt page spry works fine.
When I create a child page from this template page, the child page looks fine in design view but does the spry fails to preview in browsers (the spry just shows as words and not drop down menus).

Pages created by Template view and preview Ok - Except when linked on page

I created a template in DW. The template contains a background image and an editable region. I made some pages using the template / updated my pages and saved them as html. I have worked with templates before.
Here is the problem. I can open, view the html files in DW that I applied the template to, they look normal. I can preview the files in IE.
If I click a link in lets say the index file, to another lets cay contact.html file that I applied the template to, it only loads the editable region and I don't see the template applied. If I pull up the file, say contact.html in DW the template is applied and if I preview it the page displays. No background image or dropdown includes are on the page and the template is not applied for some reeason in preview when linking from a hotspot. The path is correct.
I tried this several times and still no luck. I even uplopaded to the web and the same thing is happening.
Please advise as to what I should look at? I can direct you to an example if need be. -
Dreamweaver MX user.
Thanks,
Greg

Here is the code of an html file in which the region is editable. The template has been applied to this page and is one of the pages that is having a problem.
I will need to look further into your last response, although it makes perfect sense to a webmaster like yourself, it only makes partial sense to me but I do undertand the point. I will look into that furher, thank you for your response.
When looking at the code, my Background image was repeating and I do not want it to. I edited some of the code and although, it does not look clean, it does work. Maybe this is part of the problem.
In this example, I did get the background to work, not sure how, but my includes and a image over the background with the hotspots are not wodking.
