Report template auto-changed to Default: HTML

I use the builtin report template "Default: Look 4" for all of my report screens and have a problem when importing the application with a new Application ID.
All reports that use the "Default: Look 4" template get changed to "Default HTML" in the new application and I have to manually change them all back again. This is a real pain because I use the application ID as a form of version control - the old versions of the application are auto-forwarded to the new one - so I end up having to do the change quite often.
Is there a way I can prevent the template from changing?

If it's any help to you, I did a bit of 'vanilla' testing ...
- create a new workspace TEST
- Edit Page 1 of the Sample Application
- Note that the region "My Top Orders" is using layout "template: 12. Standard, Alternating Row Colors"
- export the Sample Application
- import the Sample App with Auto-Assign New App ID selected
- Edit Page 1 in the new application and note that the region template for "My Top Orders" is still set to "template: 12. Standard, Alternating Row Colors"
- Change the template for "My Top Orders" to "default: Look 4"
- Export application
- Import application with auto-assigned AppID
- Edit "My Top Orders" and note that template is changed to "default: HTML (standard)"
The template is only changed when the exported application uses one of the "default: Look X" templates, other templates are not changed. Also, importing into the same or different application makes no difference, the template is still changed.
Thanks for your quick reply so far Scott!

Change the default HTML template when saving for web

Hi,
Is there a way to change the default HTML output template when you go to "Save for web" and select "HTML & Images"? I would like to modify the default HTML <head> tag.
Thanks.

Customised Report Template - URL Issue

Hi,
I have customized report template to change the look and feel of the report table. Following are css class definitions and row templates:
.c1 {border:1px solid black; background-color:#; text-align:center; padding:2px;}
.c2 {border:1px solid black; background-color:#; text-align:center; padding:2px;}
<tr>
<td class="c1">#1#</td>
<td class="c2">Click Here</td>
</tr>
I want the value in the table to be URLs which will point to pages in the same application (when '#1#' or 'Click Here' is clicked.) Currently, it's not working properly.
What should I assign to "a href=" sothat it works properly?
Thanks,
Rahul

APEX URL syntax:
<tt>f?p=App:Page:Session:Request:Debug:ClearCache:itemNames:itemValues:PrinterFriendly</tt>
Like most information about APEX, it is freely available in the documentation.

Default HTML editor set through group policy

OK, this should be an easy one. I know where I can find the setting to change the default HTML editor though group policy for IE10. Do I need to have Microsoft Office installed on the server if I want to set it as Word? The only option
I have right now is Notepad and Office is not installed on the server that I created GPOs. Thank you!

Hi Erin,
>> Do I need to have Microsoft Office installed on the server if I want to set it as Word?
Based on my knowledge, we need to install Office on the server to do this. Besides, when we use Group Policy Preferences, please pay attention to F5-F8 function keys.
Regarding this point, the following article can be referred to for more information.
Enable and Disable Settings in a Preference Item
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc754299.aspx
In addition, if we don't want to install Office on the server, we can try to configure the setting on a Windows 8/8.1 with both RSAT and Word installed or a member server 2012/R2 with GPMC and Word installed.

Where can i see default look report template

Hi All,
Iam using Default look 5 report template. but it is not showing in edit page. If i select other tahn default look ,it is showing in edit page.
but i need change column heading color and etc ...... for default Look 5
Any One knows pls ...tell me
Thanks in Advance

"Default look" report templates are hard-wired into the APEX engine and cannot be modified. You could look at the HTML source of a rendered report to figure out any classes etc used and try to come up with CSS to override the default appearance, but the best approach would be to use the rendered source in conjunction with Firefox+Firebug to figure out how the report is structured and styled and build a custom report template based on this.

Access to customizing default: report templates

I seem to remember far back in the corners of my memory, someone here on the forum mentioning that although we didn't have access at the time (probably back at HTMLDB 2.0) to customize the default report templates, that there were plans to make this an option in a future version of Apex. Does anyone have any idea if this is something that is being planned, or better yet, available today?
If you're not sure what I'm talking about I'm referring to the field that says 'Report Template' in the 'Layout and Pagination' section of the 'Report Attributes' page in the application builder.
The problem I'm having is that I'm using the 'default: vertical report, look 2 (show null columns)' report template and I've got some long column headings that I want to include a line break between each word of the heading, so they're stacked vertical instead of wide horizontally. I've add HTML break tags to the headings but they're disappearing when the page is rendered.
I've made sure to set the 'Strip HTML' setting to 'No', but whether it's set to yes or no doesn't matter, the headings display the same either way.
BTW, doing the same thing in a template based multi-row report seems to work fine. However, trying to use/apply the 'Value Attribute Pairs' report template yields the same result as the default vertical look template.
So I have 2 questions:
1) anyone know how I can make these heading words stack up vertically, one word to a line?
2) are we going to get access to customize the default report templates?
Earl

Hello,
1) anyone know how I can make these heading wordsstack up vertically, one word to a line?
Probably the best way to do this is to just hard code
a <br /> between your words.That's exactly what I'm doing (and what I said in my original post), however those breaks are disappearing during page rendering when I choose the report templates I mentioned.
I don't understand why this technique works in the multi-row report templates and not in these vertically oriented value/attribute report layouts.
2) are we going to get access to customize thedefault report templates?
No, you should just use a regular theme based
template, the default report templates are there for
backwards compatibility and well basically for people
that don't care about the UI. Since your at the point
it seems you do care about UI the proper thing to do
is to move to a standard report template that you
have full control over.Fair enough. I'll look into that, but I think there's still an open question here as to why the HTML breaks aren't being returned in the page markup for these report layouts.

Report template default: Look 3

How can I increase the column width of a report region with report template default: Look 3? I selected 'No Template' for the region but 'default: Look 3' for the report template.
Thanks.

Hello,
You can't with the default report Look's as they aren't really a template just hardcoded html.
Pick one of the report templates out of the theme you are using then you can adjust the html or css as needed.

Report Template: "default: Look 5"

Hi All,
Is it possible to create new report template, derived from "default: Look 5" in HTMLDB 2.0?
I need to customized this report template.
Thank you.

I want to do this also. I like the mouseover highlite feature, but would like to change the color from gray to yellow. I haven't had good luck with creating

Question on changing the report template to display the images

I am trying to change the report template so that each table cell will display an image and a checkbox for the image. The column templatet for the new report template is like this:
<td #ALIGNMENT# headers="#COLUMN_HEADER#" class="t17data">
<table>
<tr height="90%"><td>
<img src= "&F101_GET_THUMB.#COLUMN_VALUE#" onmouseover="return onmouseover_img('#COLUMN_VALUE#');">
</td></tr>
<tr height="10%"><td align="center" valign="bottom">
<input type="checkbox" name="f01" value="#COLUMN_VALUE#"/>
</td></tr>
</table>
</td>
My questions are:
1. If the #COLUMN_VALUE# is null, the table cell will display a broken image icon and a checkbox. How could I avoid this? I could add condition to this template, such as when #COLUMN_VALUE# is not null, but how to refer to the value of #COLUMN_VALUE# in pl/sql?
2. I want to always put the checkbox at the center bottom, but no matter what I set "align='center' valign='bottom', it is always close to the image. Since the image sizes are different, the appearance of the checkbox are just up and down. How to fix this?
Thanks,
Fengting

hello,
at designtime the elements from the template are physically
imported into the report. the only way of re-applying a template
is to use the wizard, which will re-default the layout.

Problems with HTML in dynamic reports template after upgrade to 3.1

Hi, we just upgraded from APEX 2 to 3.1. W ehave an application that has a report template as follows:
<img src="&P1_LOGO." border="0" alt="Home" />
<div>
<table align="LEFT">
<tr>
<td align="LEFT" width=500><font size="-2"><P>&P1_FROM_ADDRESS.</P></td>
<td align="LEFT" width=175><font size="-2"><P>&P1_REMIT_TO.</P></td>
</tr>
</table>
<BR></BR>
#BOX_BODY#
The item P1_REMIT_TO is set to an address using a PL/SQL computation. It has HTML tags such as <B> and <BR> in it. In 2.0 this displayed fine. In 3.1 it does not interpret the HTML tags, so it sshows up with the HTML tags in the text.
Any idea what may have changed and how to fix this?

Tor,
You're in Tampa huh? Are you a member of the SOUG?
Issues like browser alignment are always easiest to figure out with an example. Post an example app on apex.oracle.com and provide some developer credentials with which we can get in "under the hood".

Copy/Edit default Report templates

Hi,
I am given the following template options in the "Report Template" list on the Report Attribute page
of a report region:
default: HTML (standard)
default: Look 1
default: Look 2
default: Look 3
default: Look 4
default: vertical report, look 1 (exclude null columns)
I want to modify the vertical report template, so I tried to make a local copy of it using the "Templates" page in the "Build" Menu.
I used the "Create/copy" button of the "Report Templates" region, and then "Choose one from the HTML DB repository", and I am only shown these 2 templates:
Alternating Rows
Alt Rows,Navy Gray
Where can I find the default templates such that I can make modifications?

Hello,
It sounds like you want to write your own HTML thats what modifing tempaltes entails beyond that I agree having those templates avaiable would make your job easier.
But at the moment you have no way to get at the default templates. I'll see what i can do about getting an application in HTML DB Studio that has the default templates as report templates so you copy the report templates to your app.
If you have HTML DB 1.6 there are a large amount of examples and reports in the different themes you can try as well.

HTML Display without Report Templates

Hi all
I am saving html page (with all data and formats) in a table. On next step I will query this table and will display this column and will disply it on the region. But I dont want to use HTMLDB report templates. Because I want to control the formatting (like color change, background color, fonts). Is there some way to gain control on this ?
Here is my homework. While creating the region, I tried PL/SQL and Reports. Is there some option where I can override everything with my html implementation (which is coming from the table). I tried HTML, but there you cant query the table.
Any help will be highly appreciated.

How to customize 'default: *' report templates

Hi,
where are 'default: *' report templates defined? They are not listed among other templates.
What I need is to create a customized template based on 'default: vertical report, look1 (exclude null columns)'.
Thanks

default: report templates are hard-wired into APEX and can't be modified in the way that theme templates can.
Using the web inspector in a browser with developer tools like Safari or Firefox+Firebug you can examine the source of the rendered report with a default: template to determine the HTML structure and class(es) used and the CSS selectors applied by APEX, then either override these in your own style sheet, or create a custom theme version of the template from scratch.

Modifying Default Report Templates

Hi there,
APEX v3.0.1.008
I have created an application using Theme 12.Blue and am evaluating the different templates that are available out-of-the-box. The Default: Look 2 template best meets my needs in terms of layout but unfortunately has Sand colouring so I'd like to be able to customise this to change the Sand colours to Blue.
When I navigate to Shared Components -> Templates -> Report I do not get the opportunity to Copy or Modify this Template. Can someone please explain why is this the case and any workarounds to be able to modify this Report Template?
Many thanks,
Gary.

Hey Alistair,
I'm not sure how your solution solves the problem. When I go to Themes, click on my theme and look at the template for that theme, I see a bunch of different items for each type, like button, region, etc. Most of my pages simply say look at the defaults in the template and I want to change those defaults. On the template page I see some are checked as the default and I'd like to change to a different one if possible.
Thanks again,
~Chris

Need help with creating template. Changes are not going through to index.html page

Hi all,
I have an issue with my template that I am creating and also a question about creating template Regions (Repeating and Editable).
Somehow my changes to my index.dwt are not changing my index.html page.
Also my other question is: For my top navigation bar and left navigation bar links, do I need to select and define each individual button or link as Repeating/Editable Region? or can I just select the whole navigation bar (the one on the top) etc...
Below are my steps for creating my template...I am kinda fairly new to using DW and this is my first attempt to making a template following the DW tutorial CD that came with DW CS3.
I appreciate any help with this...regards, Dano
-Open my index.html file
-File/save as template
-Save
-update links - yes
-Select Repeating and Editable Regions (I selected the whole top navigation bar and selected Repeating Region and Editable Region, same with the left side navigation links)
-File close all
-Open the index.dwt
-Save as and selected the index.html and chose to overide it..
When I make changes to my index.dwt it is not changing the index.html
I feel that I am missing some important steps here.....
