Skins in 11.1.1.7

Is the process of deploying a new skin or stylesheet very different in 11.1.1.7 ? I heard there was a way to do it from the UI, is this true?

Error while deploying, Custom Style Skin in OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7

Hi,
I have deployed Custom Style Skin in OBIEE 11.1.1.5 successfuly (with the help of http://www.rittmanmead.com/2010/12/oracle-bi-ee-11g-styles-skins-custom-xml-messages/ ).
Now when we're moving RPD, Catalog & Custom Style Skin from OBIEE 11.1.1.5 to OBIEE 11.1.1.6.7, I could deploy RPD & Catalog but am not able to deploy Custom Style & Skin Folders.
If you are aware of the process of deploying Custom Style & Skins (as mentioned in the link above), it requies:
1. Custom Style & Skins folder to be Deploy using Weblogic Console.
2. Making necessary changes in instanceconfig.xml (to point to the deployed folder) ---- this is where it's failing.
When I do add necessary tags ( <URL> & <UI>) in instanceconfig.xml and restart Services. Presentation Services dosen't come up. Error message that is in log file is:
In element URL: Can not have element children within a simple content.
unknown element 'UI'
Element 'UI' is not valid for content model : 'All(URL, SocketTimeoutSec,FileSizeMB)'
Any pointers?
Regards,

How to I get an FLV Skin to display on external sites?

This is thee most frustrating thing! I've been trying to get
my FLV skin to display on other sites when embedded, but the video
is the only thing that shows up. There are no play back controls;
nothing! I can view things just fine on my site (so that is NOT the
problem) – it's just not displaying on other sites.
I am using an FLV component and I do have all the necessary
files loaded in the same folder. It's just when I try embedding the
SWF file on an external site, the only thing that shows up is the
video w/ no controls or skin.
Is there embedding code to include the second SWF file?
OR
Is there a better way in creating a SWF file that includes
the FLV component? ActionScripting or something that needs to be
added???
If so, please explain! I got ALL DAY AND NIGHT! This is
driving me up the wall. There is NOTHING on the web that talks
about this.
Thanks!!!!!

I found a link which informs that not all servers allow the MIME type for "f4v" files. . .
http://forums.devshed.com/flash-help-38/how-do-i-make-f4v-files-play-in-a-web-610155.html
Also, when I tried inserting a FLV object using Media>FLV the menu option only allowed me to insert FLV files, not F4V files. So that comes back to the issue of what type of container you would be using since the Dreamweaver FLV container does not support F4V.

"Page Path" in HTML Page Skin

Hey Guys,
I was wondering if anyone knows how I could include the behavior that the "Page Path" Item provides, but I would like to do it in an HTML Pageskin. Seems like this would be fairly common for those people using page skins.
Thanks
-sean

Hi,
I insist : it is not possible with HTML to insert Page breaks. BUT, Tammie is right! You can use CSS (Cascade Style Sheet) to insert page breaks thanks to few lines of code in your HTML page.
Follow this link to have a look at a very simple piece of code to illustrate this :
http://www.codeave.com/css/code.asp?u_log=4016
Here it the code if you don't have access to this URL :
<html>
<head>
<title>CodeAve.com/CSS - Page Break</title>
<body bgcolor="#FFFFFF">
<center>
Page 1
<br style="page-break-before:always;">
Page 2
<br style="page-break-after:always;">
Page 3
<p>
Use print preview on your browser to see how<br>
this page would print out to three pages
</center>
</body>
</html>
Hope it helps.
Don't forget to close the post if solved (so that search in the forum is easier), and reward points (so that SDN members are happy !)

Relative Path for swf skin, is it set by DW or Flash

Hello,
I have a simple video swf file with skin (swf) in my site inside a folder (video folder).
In the video folder there is video.swf, flv file, and skin.swf.
When I test the html file it looks for
siteroot/videofolder/video.swf
siteroot/videofolder/video.flv
But when it looks for skin.swf it looks in the siteroot directory
Does anyone know who sets where the skin.swf path get set?
I publish the files (flash) to right directory.
Thank you in advance
Carlos

Basically not many files, just a temp.html file that calls the
subfolder where the video at.
Here is an example of the temp.html file nothing complicated
inside the videofolder is the swfobject.js & untitled.swf & sking.swf & etc.
var flashvars = {};
var params = {};
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("videofolder/untitled.swf", "myAlternativeContent", "800", "600", "9.0.0", false, flashvars, params, attributes);

How to let Trinidad Tag use outside css classes instead of skin?

In my project, we asked vendor company to create the UI and css of the whole web application. We are using Trinidad in the project, trinidad use skin to customize the look and feel of the page. Since we have already had a set of css classes, we don't want to apply these css classes to the trinidad skin one by one. Is that a solution to achieve that?

Can we now use jdk 1.5 with Studio Creator? I tried setting the AS_JAVA in

however in the help about still says its running 1.4
There must be someway to use 1.5 with the new version of Creator or no?

White MacBook discoloured by use of Tucano Second Skin folder

I have a three month old white MacBook which I protected from new with a black Tucano Second Skin folder. I've discovered discolouration on the case at either side, matching the internal design of the sleeve. I've used iKlear, with no effect.
Anyone else had the same problem?

Hi Nick,
I had the exact same problem. The Apple centre in Rotterdam referred me to Apple. After calling Apple twice they agreed to replace the outer bottom case.
The bottom contained a half circled line across the bottom (also the battery) just beneath the trackpad. The service centre replaced the bottom case and I also got a new battery.
I am still using the same Tucano second skin. So far no discoloration... It's been almost two months.

Audacious, skin problem. Cannot start.

Hello.
I just installed Audacious player, but I cannot start it. When I try to run the player, I get the following error message:
Unable to load skin.
Check that skin at '(null)' is usable and default scin is properly installed at '/usr/share/audacious/Skins/Default'.
I have the default skin in /usr/share/audacious/Skins/Default directory. I do not know what the first part of the message means (Check that skin at '(null)' is usable...). Can someone give me a hand.
I do not know what else information to post. If you need to know anything for my system, I will post the info. I have Arch GNU/Linux Core Dump, kernel: 2.6.24-ARCH. The system is installed as "Basic", I am using fluxbox ... If you need anything else ...
Regards.

OT: I'm sorry. I just couldn't help laughing at the subject, which makes perfect sense within the Linux context but which sounds truly bizarre otherwise.

Audacious skin error

Hello,
I just installed audacious (simply by pacman -S audacious)
But if i wanne start audacious i get this error-message;
"check that skin at '(null)' is usable and default skin is properly installed at '/usr/share/audacious/Skins/Default'
If I look at the usr/share/adacious/skins/default map, everything looks normal
I also tried to run audacious with root-rights -> same problem.
Does somebody have an idea to solve this small problem ?

you NEED to install the audacious-plugins package (again, pacman -S audacious-plugins). If that doesn't fix your problem, please post again saying so and i'll direct your post to the Audacious developers.

How do I use the skin for a video object in one of my slides?

I put an video object place holder in one of my question masters, and when I insert a video into the actual project slide, it will not play with a skin. I can set it up to play automatically, but when I add a skin to it, the functions of the skin won't work. Any suggestions?

Hi DonTimo,
I've tried doing that, but in the said folder there are only default pictures. I can't find the images of any contacts in the app "Contacts" anywhere. The thread you refered me to and many others that are smilar to it, date back to about 2009-2010.
Really need this photo. Any other pointers?

How do I apply programmatic skins for completely custom drawn components of a Flex library project?

Hello folks,
I am looking for best practices advice when (1) creating
custom components and (2) styling and skinning.
I already know how to skin a component part of the Flex
framework. I can make a class extending ProgrammaticSkin and have
my component skinned using CSS to link the component with the
reference to my custom class.
However what about those cases when you are completely
creating a component from scratch?
Imagine a "Freehand Drawing Canvas" component that allows the
user to draw on it and has some buttons to set color styles, line
styles, etc., or imagine a "Screen Flow Gallery" component that
displays visual objects in a fashion similar to Cover Flow in the
Mac.
In many components I am aware you may reuse other components
part of the Flex framework but I am trying to picture an scenario
where you would need to draw everything yourself because there just
isn't something to base it upon so you will end up drawing it from
scratch.
To learn how instead of building one of those components I
mentioned previously I decided to start with something simple that
would illustrate this like a LiteButton component that will behave
just like the Flex mx.controls.Button but will extend UIComponent
and be completely custom drawn.
The component will have a default look and will also be
style-able and skin-able. I will provide styles for users of the
component to modify and regarding skinning anyone can create a
custom ProgrammaticSkin adding its own drawing logic and link it to
the component via CSS with the ClassReference applied to the skin
selector.
So far so good and it's clear what I want to achieve. I
actually know how to do most of the stuff here but I have one
single problem.
Here is my question, where should I put my custom drawing
logic? If I do it in the updateDisplayList inside the class
extending UIComponent it works, however I thought that it would be
a better practice to do it using programmatic skins, that way I
could provide different skin themes for my component set.
The problem is that I can't make the programmatic work in
this scenario. I tried instantiating the custom programmatic skin
during the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton component and adding
it to my display object via addChild but that didn't do anything. I
also tried creating a "default.css" stylesheet and tried to use
ClassReference as I would normally do to skin an already existing
component (or composite component as well) but that didn't do
anything either.
So how do I apply programmatic skins for completely custom
drawn components of my Flex library project?
I could do it inside the updateDisplayList of the LiteButton
class extending UIComponent but again I would like to provide
different theme sets for my components so it makes sense using
programmatic skins.

These aren't mutually exclusive. When you provide a skin with
a
TypeSelector, you have to add it to the display list
somewhere, and this is
typically done in updateDisplayList or addChildren. I prefer
to do it in
updateDisplayList, because you can then change it if the
style changes.

Exactly what did you do?

I've never had any problem using an approach similar to
this...but I will
say that I couldn't see any advantage in creating a
default.css style sheet,
since it's not really default in the way that the one that
comes with Flex
is. It's much more obvious to anyone using your component
what's going on
there if you create a style sheet where they're likely to
spot it.

It seems like your approach is fine, but maybe you've made a
mistake in your
implementation.

You might want to consider also adding an instance of
HaloBorder to your
component. That brings a lot of functionality with it.

Why is it not possible to assign a hotkey to onion skinning? (For toggling on/off)

In Flash CS6 when animating frame-by-frame by hand, I'm constantly toggling onion skinning on and off, and the same with the "loop" button right next to it for looping a certain range of frames. Neither of these appears to be assignable to a hotkey, meaning I need to take the mouse/pen away from the drawing and hit these buttons several times a minute, really putting a damper on the workflow.
Might we be able to get this in the next patch? It seems like a no-brainer, especially for a program that many people use for hand-drawn animation projects.

Hi Steve -
Thanks for the info. I have a few more questions...
Andy,
Yes, this is exactly the issue. Currently I am
invoking the UIX servlet not as a registered portlet
but as a hard-coded URL link on the portal page.Are you saying that in order to access the UIX application, the user clicks on a link which navigates out of Portal? If so, is this by design, or did you go this route because of problems creating a portlet for your UIX servlet? That is, would you prefer to have your UIX application run inside of Portal as a portlet, or do you explicitly not want this?
Also, can you provide more background about your deployment environment? In particular, is the UIX application running locally on the same machine as Portal, or remotely on another machine? Is the UIX application running in the same application server/servlet engine as Portal?
The application runs connected to the database but
without the context of the SSO Portal user. I want to
be able to display the Portal username on the uix
pages, have the VPD context in the database
connection (we have striped the tables but it only
works if connected via Portal!!) and potentially have
access to some of the extended Portal functionality
in the JPDK (this last one a "nice to have").Unfortunately I have no idea whether this is possible, so I'm not going to be much help on my own. The best I can do is try to track down someone who can actually speak to this issue. However, given the lack of documentation and the fact that you weren't able to get a solution through support, I wouldn't be suprised to find that this type of integration simply isn't supported yet.
I think you mentioned in the TAR that you had seen support for similar integration with Struts. If you know of documentation which shows how to do this type of thing with Struts, could you point me at it?

Visual skinning for spark components

Hi. I am a newbie doing the flex in a week course. It is so easy to set up datagrids but they look awful. This is incredibly important for my company. Skins must look good BUT I just read the flash catalyst is discontinued. What software can I use now to skin my components. I would love to be able to achieve the folowing look you can see here: http://www.desire2learn.com/products/learning-environment/features/measure-guide/
Half way down you can see the type of datagrid I am looking for. Nothing fancy really.
Cheers in advance
edit: I just had an idea.
You can use any design software to lay out a mock up then just use the x and y properites and colours and shove them in you mxml file fot the skinning. voilá.
Is that a good workflow?
edit: Just read that people are using fireworks to design and to export to css.
Could somebody confirm this as a great workflow?
Thanks

Playbar options are greyed out on skin editor Captivate 6

Hi Everyone,
I am building modules and all of a sudden when I went to publish the module the playbar is gone, I went to the skin editor and now the playbar options are completely greyed out and nothing I do will allow me to turn them back on....PLEASE HELP!!!

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Are you new to Captivate? Did you ever create an advanced action? I have several tutorials on my blog, and some articles as well:
http://kb2.adobe.com/community/publishing/858/cpsid_85847.html has a video tutorial that shows how to create a conditional advanced action. Even though it is created for CP5, nothing has changed in CP6 (except perhaps the names of some system variables)
http://blog.lilybiri.com/system-variables-in-captivate-6
You do not need 3 variables at all, which was the reason why I asked my 'new' question. Are you using real pretest question slides or normal question slides or custom question slides?
If you use Pretest question slides, the score will be stored in cpQuizInfoPretestPointsscored and the percentage in cpQuizInfoPretestScorePercentage
If you use normal question slides, the score will be stored in cpQuizInfoPointsscored and the percentage in cpInfoPercentage
If you use custom question slides, you'll have user variables in which you calculate both score and percentage
If the numbers you are mentioning are percentages you'll create one conditional action with 3 decisions (here example for normal question slides):
First decision: IF cpInfoPercentage is greater or equal to 70
                             Jump to slide CHP3_1
Second decision: IF cpInfoPercentage is less than 70   AND
                               cpInfoPercentage is greater or equal to 50
                                   Jump to slide CP2_1
Third decision: IF cpInfoPercentage is less than 50
                           Jump to slide CHP1_1
The slide labels CHPx_1 are for the first slides of each chapter.

Questions about using skins in online and local help

Caveat: I'm a very new RoboHelp users, somewhat self-taught, so my questions may be very rudamentary, but I can't quite find them in the (very meager) Adobe help.
In a previous version of the Help (created by my predecessor), the local Help (.chm) looked like this, i.e., no skins:
The online Help looked like this--i.e., it had the skin:
First question: why doesn't the local help have the skin? Is this a setting?
Second question: In a newer version of the help that I created, both versions of help look like the local Help above--no skins. How do I make the skins display?
Third question: We localized to French. When I open FR online Help and right-click a help topic (to open in a new tab) the page displays as below, with the "Montrer" standing in for what is "< Show Contents" in English (see below). This content is incorrect in French, and should be "Afficher le sommaire" ("Show Summary").
Where do I find the source for this piece of content, so that I can correct it? I've looked in the skins file, but didn't see anything that would qualify.

Okay, so I read through the second bit you sent, Rick (after a few deep breathing exercises!) and understand that somehow, we need to change how the developer calls the URL ... yes?
Oh, and the default file I select is the one that is automatically opened, yes? So at least that's going right.
Inside your help, you have a few folders with topics inside each folder. So if you just issue the basic http://www.somesite.com URL, all you get is the default topic. But you want Topic13.htm which happens to be inside folder C. Now you could link directly as inhttp://www.somesite.com/Help/FolderC/Topic13.htm and that would present Topic13.htm but it would not have the frameset (skin) surrounding it. Instead, it would likely have a "Show" link. And when the user clicked the Show link, the full frameset would appear and Topic13.htm would then be loaded in the topic pane.
To make this happen with a basic link, the URL would look like this:
http://www.somesite.com/Help/Index.htm#Folder C/Topic13.htm
And this refers to the remote help, not the local CHM, yes?
Historically, I just give them the location of the files, i.e, they're at: http/onlinehelp.companysite.com/help/productname/version/language/mjwin_help.htm (which is the name we've been using, though I will someday want to change that as it references an older version of the brand ... but first things first).
I ran a test in which I I generated and posted the files to the correct location on the server (and identified the default topic I wanted in the SSL). I sent this exact URL to the developer to include in this morning's build. According to what you have indicated, since I'm not asking the Help to do anything but open up to the default topic, I should get a) the default topic and b) the skins.
I did not get this result.
Could there be something going on on the developer end? I ask this because I had problems with Map IDs, which turned out to be that they weren't telling me that some UI elements called context-sensitive help and therefore those pages needed to be linked to the correct map ID. (Like me, some of the members of that department are new to their positions ...)
