Strange Custom Template Sections Behaviour

I've created some custom template sections so I can insert my own various page types for a document I'm producing. The strange thing is Pages will insert an extra blank page (similar to the master but not exactly the same it's missing a text box) between sections when I add a section—but only some of the time!
It will not do it when I initially add the section.
It will only add in a 2nd page between when I add additional sections, be they the same type of section or another type of section.
I cannot delete this 2nd page without deleting the 1st page of the section as well.
When I try to capture just the 1st page to make another version of the custom template it still exhibits the above behaviours, inserting this "buffer" 2nd page in between sections.
All the other custom sections I have created do not exhibit this behaviour.
I've turned on invisibles and can't see anything that makes this section special or different.
Any guesses as to why it inserts this extra page in between sections to make a 2 page section instead of staying as a 1 page section?

You have some text being forced over to the next page, either because you hammered away at the spacebar/return key/tabs, or have some object wrap pushing returns over, or both:
+Menu > View > Show Invisibles/ Show Layout+
Once you have cleaned up your pages recapture them as sections and resave your template over the old one.

  • Display Last Login and Username on custom template or banner section

    I have a spaces deployment and I use a custom template for a group space. I would like to put the current user's name and the last login time.
    I am wonderinf how I can do this with the custom spaces template page.
    I would also appreciate any information on how to even get that information , especially the last login time, without spaces - since then I can find a hack to work it in somehow. Does weblogic even track the last login?
    Thanks

    There is a simple work-around for the issue that you don't have access to backing beans in your template.
    Create a taskflow and put the taskflow in your template. A taskflow has its own scope were you can add managed bean. This way you can add easily business logic in your template... Just put it in a taskflow.
    There isn't an EL that give you more information about the user... Maybe there is a way to retreive it. I suggest you ask this in the ADF forum: JDeveloper and ADF
    They might know of a way to retreive user information from a backing bean or default EL value.

  • Switching themes with customized templates

    Most typical Apex applications start with a quick prototype containing most of the required functionality, get required approvals, and continue building it up.
    During all of this, the concept of "themes" is mentioned and demonstrated as a reassurance that the "look and feel" of the application can be very easily switched at any point. In other words, let's worry about designing the content and behaviour, the presentation can be easily switched.
    All this sounds very good on paper and is do-able as long as one uses the out-of-the-box Apex themes/templates. But, in my experience, any non-trivial application has lots of customized templates. That brings me to my question.
    As soon as you start to customize templates, modify them, create new ones, etc, you start to get "committed" to that specific theme. In other words, if I have a theme with 10 customized templates, 5 slightly modified ones, etc, and I switch to another theme from the Apex repository, I get all the out-of-the-box templates for that theme. I have to painstakingly re-do all my customizations for the corresponding templates in the new theme.
    And Apex does nothing to help me with this task. There is no "diff" utility between themes, no compares, no merges, nothing. I have to eye-ball the old template, copy the HTML snippets from the Builder into Notepad, pull up my new template and manually copy, paste, modify snippets into the new template. Very error-prone.
    How have people handled this sort of thing? Are there any best-practices, any procedures that people follow to make switching between themes painless?
    Thanks

    Hello,
    Second post down.
    http://wiki.shellprompt.net/bin/view/Apex/ThemeTips
    I build out themes all the time that are about 70/30 standard templates to custom templates and following that procedure makes the switches fairly easy.

  • Substitution in Custom XML section of a chart

    Hello,
    I am trying to do a substitution inside of "Custom XML" section of a "Resource Gantt" chart using &P5_GANTT_XML. (dot at the end - thanks fac586)
    The substitution doesn't work! In the "Show XML" I can see null instead of expected value.
    Seems this substitution is working in this demo http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=36648:60:3572101667083478::NO:::
    Any idea?

    there seems to be something strange going on with the substitution of page items in the Custom XML. I already noticed that several weeks ago, but didn't pay much attention to the problem.
    Have a look at the following application at http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=15535:5
    username: demo
    pwd: patricks_demo_workspace
    It has a page item P5_TEST with a static assignment of "this is a x label". Everywhere where I reference it with &P5_TEST. or :P5_TEST during the rendering of the page the correct value is substituted as you can see on the example page.
    Only the flash charts seems to use a NULL value! I have done a
    ...x_axis name="before-&P5_TEST.-after" smart="yes"... in the Custom XML.
    Why is there this different behavior of substitution? Or do I miss something?
    I made the same behavior - the substitution is triggering somehow but the result is NULL.
    Example:
    into Custom XML
    <test>start-&P5_GANTT_XML.-end</test>
    is returning
    <test>start--end</test>
    and
    in the same time &P5_GANTT_XML. is working fine into the title of the region.

  • Adding a page from custom Templates in Pages 5

    I know a lot of features have been removed, but this HAS to be my own operator error.
    Currently using Pages 5.1 on all of my macs 10.9.2
    I build multi page templates in pages. For example: a cover page, a storyboard page, a notes page, looks page and an end page.
    I used to save a custom template that consisted of a layout for each page, then, under 'sections' I could add multiples of any page.
    I usually need mroe than one storyboard page, multiple notes pages, and could easily do this.
    I cannot figure out how to add additional preconfigured pages as I need them.
    I know I can no longer duplicate a page (workaround is grouping everythin on a page, copy and paste to a blank page... seriously)
    And the only thing I can figure is to make a new template with 40 of each custom page layout, so I have multiple custom
    I have to be missing the new method to do this.
    thank you in advance.

    Gone.
    Removed by Apple along with 100 other fetaures.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Use that instead.
    Rate/review Pages 5 in the App Store if you are unhappy.

  • Applying customized template

    I have a problem trying to apply a customised template.
    1 I customized the Modern Type template by changing the cover image and chapter 1 image to a different jpg, and also by changing the font and font colour, and finally by changing the colour of the dividing lines in the section pages
    2 I gave this template a name and saved it, and it now shows up in the Template Chooser
    3 when I choose it, it opens correctly
    4 however, when I insert a chapter from a Word or Pages document and I am prompted to pick a layout for the imported content, the only options I see are those for the original Modern Type template (teal, blue, orange etc, with black Helvetica font) - it doesn't offer me my customised version
    5 therefore, I can't choose the customised chapter page (= with the new background), nor can I choose the customised Sections (= with the new font & font colour etc) - all I'm offered are the pre-set versions (= the teal, blue, orange etc chapter pages, and the black Helvetica font, with black lines)
    So, how do I apply a customised template so that when I import a document and create a new chapter, this new chapter (and its sections) follow the customised template?
    Thanks in advance.

    Not sure what happened, exactly, but....when you made changes and worked towards your custom template, did you apply them throughout in any manner or did you just drop them in and saved w/new template name?
    The latter - I just made the changes and saved with a new template name.
    I've been doing some research, and I've seen that I should follow a different process at least as far as sections and pages are concerned, by using the View > Show layouts path. 
    However, I still haven't managed to get the cover page and chapter pages to adopt the new background image - View > Show layouts offers only the stock covers/colours.

  • Can you import custom templates for keynote?

    Can you import custom templates for keynote?

    Yes you can. You can import a Motion project file directly into DVD Studio Pro, though when I tried it took a loooooong time (depends on the size and complexity of the project of course). Here's a tutorial on how to do that:
    http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to-use-dvd-studio-pro-4-with-motion-53426/
    OR... you can just export your Motion project and import it into DVD SP as a Quicktime file, and put that in the Menu section. Then you can add your buttons and so forth and proceed from there.
    I hope this helps. Good luck!

  • Pages  Custom Templates

    I've created several custom templates for a home business. I've saved them in the "My Templates" section of the Template Chooser, so I know that much. My problem is that I need to make it so that the text box (and other features) can't be re-sized or moved when the person using it customizes the text. Does anyone know how to do that?

    YES!
    Make the template, highlight the pieces you want to stay the same, and then from the Arrange Menu, Lock them. Now you can zip the template and send to others and those locked pieces can not be changed unless the other person unlocks them.
    Have fun.

  • I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

    The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
    You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
    You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
    Menu > Format > Import Styles
    The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.
