Portal smart text colour

I'm using portal 10.1.2 and I have added some portal smart text to a page.
I have changed the style for the item region to change the background colour and the colour of the text. The background changes but the colour of the text stays black.
How do I change the color of the text?
Thanks in advance.

The "display name" colour needed changing.

Portal smart text and privileges

Situation in Portal r2
I created a page template with navigation page in Shared objects page group. Navigation page contains Portal Smart Text such as Current User and Current Date. Then I created a new page group from page template. So then I wanted other user to use the root page of the new page group as his homepage, therefore I granted this user privilege to view the root page, page tamplate and navigation page (without publishing them to public). If a user has only privilege to view the root page this message appeared instead Current User and Current Date: "Error: ORA-06503: PL/SQL: Function returned without value". Only way how to avoid this situation I found is to grant the user at least Mange with approval.

How to reduce the font size - "Portal Smart Text - CURRENT USER"

Hi Gurus,
I am showing the user name on the top left corner of our portal page. The default font size is little big(16 point size). How can I reduce the size to probably 10. I am using the "Built-In Navigation Item Types - Portal Smart Text - CURRENT USER" which shows the name of the current user. Please post a reply if you have any idea about this.
Thanks
Raj
--------

Put the item in its own region, assign a different style to the region, and set the font size for the Display Name attribute in the region's style.
Or, you can use a PL/SQL item with this code:
begin
htp.p('
|| portal.wwctx_api.get_user
|| '');
end;

Subsitution Tag instead of Smart Text (2 issues)

In Oracle Portal:
1. I want to use the Current Date feature (available as a Smart text) but since I am using an HTML template, would like to use a Substitution tag for it. But couldn't find #CURRENTDATE# !
I have used Oracle PL/SQL code to overcome this issue, but since our site is translated to multiple languages, I am hoping the Current Date does a better job of Internationalizing the date translations.
2. When I use the Substituion Tag for Edit within an HTML template and make a Page use this, the Edit tag appears on the page irrespective of whether the user has permissions to edit the page or not. Although clicking on Edit does not allow unauthorized users to edit any region of the page, it is still annoying that it should exist.
If I were to initially use a Portal Template for the page and make it use the HTML template as a Skin, the Edit tag disappears correctly.
Is this a bug in Oracle Portal.
We are using 10.1.2 with all patches that upgrage it to 10.1.4.
Any help in this regard would be greatly appreciated.

I think I might have the answer to #2 for you. According to Oracle Metalink "Note:368720.1 - When ILS is Enabled the Edit Smartlink is visible to Users that are not entitled to see it", that is the expected behavior whether you are using the "edit" substitution tags or the "edit" smartlink on a page when the page has item-level access enabled. I can understand why that is the behavior since an end user may have access to manage/edit just one item on a page or just one tabbed region on a page but not the entire page and they'll need a way to put the page into edit mode in order to edit their item(s). If a user has nothing to edit on a page, then they won't be able to do anything in edit mode anyway.

My iPhone 5 won't display smart text options.

My iPhone 5 won't display smart text. It did when I initially downloaded the new OS, now those options don't appear at all. Did I click something to make them disappear?
I went into Settings to see if there was a component of it within Messages. I don't see anything.
Thoughts please.....
Thanks much
Ginger

Awwww......that's it....the dash! I tapped it. Tried to drag it up/down and it didn't move. Now I swiped and it's back!
So I need to remember to drag up/down and now swipe.....
Thanks much!

Trying to fill a shape or change text colour-it is always grey instead of the colour I picked?

I have been working on a file and whenever I have a couple of shapes and some text. When I try to change the fill of the shape or change the text colour it is always changing to grey. It will let me pick a colour, but the box at the bottom(foreground/background box) is always grey as well. Please help.

THANK YOU SO MUCH BARBARA! I really appreciate you taking the time to reply to my simple problem(eventhough at the time it was so frustrating). Thanks again. Leanne

CS5 hangs with smart text reflow during scripting

Hello,
I have a batch script that opens each input file in a folder one after another and saves them as indd and pdf.
Now I have run across a problem.
The script opens the input document (a special xml format for our plugin, this opens one InDesign template and places some content into a specific text frame), then run preflight to check if there are overflows etc. and then saves the content to indd and pdf.
The input template has smart text reflow enabled, with adding new pages at the end of the document and deleting empty pages because I do not know how much content will be placed.
I have some strange issues:
In ID CS4, the script runs fine, but some times I got preflight errors for some documents (different ones on each run). If I open the documents afterwards, it seems the smart text reflow did not run before the script saved the indd (and so preflight found an text overflow).
However in CS5, InDesign hangs at some time during the script - windows task manager says it is not responding. This happens at a random file (not the same each time), the first ones before came out as expected.
Because of the preflight issues in CS4 I have made a test and created a new template with disabled smart text reflow and already added the maximum number of pages for my content. Now the script runs fine in CS5 (without hanging). But this way I have emtpy pages I do not want.
My assumption is, that the smart text reflow does run some sort of asyncronous and gets in the way of saving/exporting to pdf the file. A "$.sleep(5000);" after opening/placing does not help either.
Is there any way in scripting to force the smart text reflow or to wait for it until it is finished?
Below is the relevant part of the script.
Has anybody a solution or workaround?
Best regards,
Ingo
// process documents
for(var i = 0; i < alldocs.length; i++ ){
try{
 // Opens document
 // this is a format that triggers our plugin which opens a specific indt-template and places the content
 var currentDocument = app.open( alldocs[i],true);
 // try to force document to be really ready - TODO: is there a better/working way? Some way to wait for smart text reflow?
 currentDocument.recompose();
 //$.sleep(5000); //Fallback - sleep for a reasonable time to let the document be opened - does not help either
 // process the document with the selected profile
 var process = app.preflightProcesses.add(currentDocument, Settings.preflightProfile);
 process.waitForProcess();
 // get the results
 var preflightResults = process.aggregatedResults;
 // each report is in the [2]-Array. First condition prevents NullPointer-Errors
 if((preflightResults.length > 0) && (preflightResults[2].length>0)){
 logLine(alldocs[i].name + ': Preflight problems');
 // save as InDesign
 var indesignFile = new File(Settings.outputDir.fullName+'/'+alldocs[i].name.replace(RegExp( '\.[^\.]{1,4}$' ), '.indd' ));
 currentDocument.save( indesignFile );
 // Export as PDF
 var pdfFile = new File(Settings.outputDir.fullName+ '/'+alldocs[i].name.replace(RegExp( '\.[^\.]{1,4}$' ), '.pdf' ));
 currentDocument.exportFile(ExportFormat.pdfType, pdfFile , false);
 currentDocument.close();
catch(err){
 // if there was a problem, note filename to display later
 logLine( alldocs[i].name + ': Errormessage was "' + err.description + '"');

Well.. it works. It's a ugly cludge, but at least it works. I'm posting a snippet of code, because i'we seen a lot of threads on the same subject, and maby someone else will find it usefull.
// save old recompose and set new one
 var myOldSmartText = app.activeDocument.textPreferences.smartTextReflow;
 app.activeDocument.textPreferences.smartTextReflow = true;
 app.activeDocument.textPreferences.addPages = AddPageOptions.END_OF_STORY;
 app.activeDocument.textPreferences.deleteEmptyPages = true;
 //find docType headers and apply keep
 app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = NothingEnum.NOTHING;
 app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "<docType:TaggedRTF>";
 app.changeTextPreferences.startParagraph = StartParagraph.NEXT_ODD_PAGE;
 myStory.changeText();
 //fix tables
 if (myStory.tables.length) {
/* long code to process tables, not interesting
 //process style rules
/* long code to preformat text, add/remove space after headings, lists, blocks etc.
 // save old preflight options, add new ones
 var oldPreflight = app.activeDocument.preflightOptions.properties;
 app.activeDocument.preflightOptions.preflightOff = false;
 // wait a maximum of 40 second for the preflight process. Before it runs, the (not so)Smart Text Reflow should kick into action.
 app.activeDocument.activeProcess.waitForProcess(40);
 //stop preflight for a bit more performance?
 app.activeDocument.preflightOptions.preflightOff = true;
 //now check if story overflows? (maby you have a very large cell in a table? some wierd keep options? bad things happen
Can i mark my own answer as correct?

Is it possible to change text colour in code view?

Hi all,
Not sure if this is possible as never seen it myself, but is it possible to change the text colour in the code of the html?
A site I am building at the moment is for a school who want to be able to edit text / links occasionally, and as they will only be using something like notepad and have no html knowledge between them whatsoever, I thought if I could highlight bits in the code which are 'not to be played with' it would make everyone's job a lot simpler!
Possible or not?

How do I change Text Colour in a Spreadsheet? The Help menu doesn't help.

Simple question whcih i cannot find the simple answer to: How do I change Text Colour in a Spreadsheet? The Help menu doesn't help.

Hi Lecia,
You have several choices.
Use the first set of controls in the Format Bar. One of these is a Color well (red in the image). Select the cell(s) in which you want the text coloured, then click the well to open its Color palette, and choose your colour.
Use the Text Inspector. Open the inspector, click the Text button (T), and use the tools there (similar to the set in the Format Bar).
Press command-T to open the Fonts Window. This offers a few more options than are available in the Inspector or the Format bar.
Regarding "Help": I'd recommend using the Numbers '09 User Guide, which you can download via the Help menu. Easier to search, and easier reading than the individual Help articles. search 'text color' to quickly get to instructions on applying colour to text.
Regards,
Barry

Can't select CMYK text colour for text fields in Acrobat Pro forms?

I have designed a business card template in Indesign, and now want to use Acrobat Pro to add in text fields so that a client can edit the contact details on the cards in future.
I need to select a specific text colour for the fields, so that it matches the rest of the design. The cards will obviously need to be printed and the document has been set up in CMYK, but when I enter the CMYK colour breakdown in the Properties > Text Colour panel, it won't apply the colour to that field. The text either stays at the default black, or reverts to RGB - which isn't suitable for printing and doesn't match the colour I need.
Can anybody PLEASE shed some light on this? Other similar posts have either not been answered or people have suggested JavaScript..? I have no idea what I'm supposed to do with a JS code..? Surely there's an easier explanation?
Thanks in advance.

This is for a text field that you create in Acrobat, whether the form is used offline or online. The script is a custom Format script, which you can place by bringing up the Properties dialog for the field, select the Format tab, set a format category of Custom, and you should see where you can enter the script. Change the string "Instructional text goes here" to the text you want to display when the field is blank.

Adding pages and Text Frames to emulate the behaviour of "Smart Text Reflow"

I am creating a large number of tables in a document. If I have Smart Text reflow turned on, my script does not work properly. I have the start of the processing:
1. Add a new table
2. If the last page text frame overflows then Add a new page
With smartTextReflow turned off, I want to ensure that new text frames that match the primary text frames from the master page. It has to be able to handle getting the parameters from the left/right page text frame.

I have been able to solve my problem. I was really overthinking things!!!
Since I have designated the text frames on the master pages as primary text frames, when creating a new page, a text frame is created automatically. So the problem is then just link the previous text frame to the text frame that was created when adding the page.
TableAutomation.prototype.AddPage = function() {
     var previousTextFrame = app.activeDocument.pages[-2].textFrames[0];
     var np = app.activeDocument.pages.add();
     var textFrame = np.textFrames[0];
     previousTextFrame.nextTextFrame = textFrame;
The cost of the above code was about 5 hours of banging my head against the wall

Text Colour

Hi All
Can anyone tell me how to change the text colour in android
The default is blue but I need black
Thanks

Just tap a text annotation you have created, and a context menu should appear that allows you to choose a new color. Once you select a new color, that will then also be the default color used for new text annotations you make.

Text Colour Changed when rectangle overlaps

Hi,
I need tips to change text colour in a paragraph when 2 rectangles ovelaps. Basically all texts in the paragraph is filled with black colour. 2 rectangles are placed below the text as background. One of the retangles is filled in dark blue and the other one is filled with yellow. How do I change some of the texts to white colour when dark blue rectangle touches them so that they will look noticeable? Thanks in advance.

David,
Here is an illustration of the instructions in post #2:
1) Create a copy of the Type in the back, but still over the dark blue rectangle, and change the Fill to white;
2) Create a copy of the dark blue rectangle, change the Fill to white, and move it on top of the original black type (stacking order);
3) Select the (now) white rectangle and the original black Type and Transparency>Opacity Mask>Make, ticking Invert Mask, but not Clip (unless this has changed in later versions, of course),
a) With the basic parts,
b) With the copies in 1) and 2) added,
c) With all the parts shown displaced to reveal the stacking order and to point out the two copies to be subject to the Opacity mask in 3),
d) Final appearance:
Remember: This is only one of the possible answers provided by members of the association.
Edit: I hope it is not too clownish to show a white rectangle on a white background; only the OP and OP follow up posts have a different colour.
Edit Edit: It is less clownish to add a grey background.

Smart text flow doesn't work in scripting

This is getting to be really frusting. I have enabled smart text flow, it only works if I open the app and modify a textframe. It never works when I run it through a script????? How do I activate this stupid feature using a script?

Hi,
This works (for me):
var document = app.activeDocument;
var textFrame = document.textFrames.add();
var page = document.pages.add();
var nextTextFrame = page.textFrames.add();
document.textPreferences.smartTextReflow = true;
document.textPreferences.limitToMasterTextFrames = false;
document.textPreferences.deleteEmptyPages = true;
document.textPreferences.addPages = AddPageOptions.END_OF_DOCUMENT;
textFrame.geometricBounds = [10, 10, 280, 200];
nextTextFrame.geometricBounds = [10, 10, 280, 200];
nextTextFrame.previousTextFrame = textFrame;
for(var index = 0; index < 100; index++)
textFrame.contents += "Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World Hello InDesign World ";
