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.

Page template usage

Hello,
There is a requirement in my current project about letting users to choose from pre-defined page layouts and fill these layout's fragments with, again pre-defined, small display fragments. I wonder if it is possible to do using page templates in Jdeveloper 11g and ADF Faces. Are there any sample project or articles about usage of dynamic page templates?
Thanks.

Deniz,
you can change the template reference of a page to use an EL value instead. This EL value can reference a managed bean or session attribute that returns a string with the template name. This way, at runtime, the page template can be changed as you want it. You may add a default template like #{sessionScope.currentTemplateId != null ? sessionScope.currentTemplateId : 'some-default-template'}
Note that at design time this wont work, so this should be the last step in your development effort. Also, make sure that the templates you reference use the same number of facets and the same namig for the facet references as otherwise you hit a parser error. However, if you follow this advise then the dynamic template selection should work like a charm

Web Dynpro Proxy Page vs Default Page Template

Dear Experts.
I have the following doubt with I am creating Page in the portal.
The system display the two options following:
[Template Page|http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/d2eb3ec600.jpg]
I found the following document:
[Document|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0c7b2f25-0c01-0010-f2a2-f8a65a9dcad9?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true]
But I what know When I should use the Web Dynpro Proxy Page option and When I should use Default Page Template
Can Anyone help me with suggestions, please.
Best Regards
Juan.

Hi.
Default Page Template: Creates a page based on the regular portal page template
Web Dynpro Proxy Page: Creates a page based on Web Dynpro technology
But I created the page with the two options, but I not find differences between the two options with respect to Layouts, and others.
Can anyone help me with suggestions.
Thank You in advance.

I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the bad template with a blank.

I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues). And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

Can't select placeholder image in template

Hello there,
perhaps I'm too stupid and the solution is such easy. But today I wanted to use the template "You're invisited" to style an invitation for a friends birthday party. In iWork '06, I could select the images on the left side on page 1 and 2 to insert an own image. Now, in iWork '08 it seems to be a text box including image and text - I can't select the image only. Consulting the manual did not solve this, so I'm looking here for help. Thanks a lot in advance
Klaus

I can't duplicate the problem you're having. When I open that "festive invitation" template in Pages 3 I can select either the picture or the text box, they are not grouped or otherwise linked. The picture is a "media" placeholder, same thing as image placeholder in Pages 1 & 2. This one does have a mask applied, but none of that prevented me from inserting a picture of my own choosing.

Can we include common buttons in Page template......

Hi,
we are on the process of developing a product using ADF. Now we have implemented a page template. Most of our pages contain the common buttons like [SAVE,DELETE,UPDATE,CANCEL,PRINT].
I am entirely new to this area. Can anyone advise whether we can include this buttons in page template. How can we differentiate the actions from these buttons in each page. While including the page level validations whether this makes any performance impact compared to put buttons in each page seperately.
Thanks,
Prabhash.

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.

Can you drag and drop contacts into Pages template?

Older versions of Pages allowed you to drag and drop contact information to a document or template, Can this still be done in newer versions? If so, how?

No.
Someone has created an AppleScript to merge your addresses however.
Why not just use Pages '09?

Where can I find more information about the jpeg files in pages templates?

I'm using a pages template (the menu in the 08 version). I like the three graphic images that are on the menu, how can I find out more info about them and their source?
I can find the file extension in the inspector, but even when I google that title I come up with nothing.
Any suggestions?

The images are buried deep in the apps packages.

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.

Hi,
Have you upgraded Apex?
I assume you use XE EPG.
Have you grant execute privilege on procedure to DAD user ANONYMOUS?
GRANT EXECUTE ON WOLF_22.HELLO_WORLD TO ANONYMOUS;Have you changed wwv_flow_epg_include_mod_local that it allow execute WOLF_22.HELLO_WORLD?
And write schema.procedure at upper case to function.
If you have not upgraded Apex, run as SYS or SYSTEM
CREATE OR REPLACE function FLOWS_020100.wwv_flow_epg_include_mod_local(
    procedure_name in varchar2)
return boolean
is
begin
    -- Administrator note: the procedure_name input parameter may be in the format:
    --    procedure
    --    schema.procedure
    --    package.procedure
    --    schema.package.procedure
    -- If the expected input parameter is a procedure name only, the IN list code shown below
    -- can be modified to itemize the expected procedure names. Otherwise you must parse the
    -- procedure_name parameter and replace the simple code below with code that will evaluate
    -- all of the cases listed above.
    if upper(procedure_name) in (
          'WOLF_22.HELLO_WORLD'
    ) then
        return TRUE;
    else
        return FALSE;
