Template / generic page that holds items that are common to all pages

Hello,
I have to create around 50 pages which contain different items such as text boxes, check boxes, select lists etc. The pages also have some items that are the same on each page, for example the the 'previous', 'next' and 'save' button as well as a report region that is common to each of the 50 pages.
Is there a way to separate the unique items and the common items of a page? For example I tried to do it with a modified version of Carl’s report pull (http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:48) that inserts (via AJAX) a page into the current page (like iframe). So I in the end I would have 51 pages; 50 pages with unique items and one page which would contain the common items and embed the others. But I would have problems with storing the values of the embedded page by clicking ‘save’ on my master page, since the values are not available on two different pages…
Or is it maybe possible to create a template page which I could assign to my 50 pages that would contain all the common items?
The easy reason why I would appreciate such a solution is that if I wanted to change a common element, I wouldn’t have to go on each single page but to change it just once for all pages. This would make the 50 pages much easier to maintain.
Any ideas or suggestions?
Thanks and regards,
tomtom

Hi Scott,
page zero is a great suggestion. However, we don't need the items on each page. We could maybe exclude those few pages from page zero...
Also we are looking into PL/SQL Server Pages: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/appdev.102/b14251/adfns_psp.htm
Do they work in APEX-- could we include items (buttons etc) in the common code?
Thanks,
tomtom

I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages)

I print 2 pages to pdf and file size is 600k, I print 1 additonal page and file size goes to 6M, what would cause this (graphics are same on all pages).
I know the colour graphic shading in the document that causes the issue of larger file size, but it doesn't make sense that printing 1 additional page with same information as first 2 pages would cause this.

Best way to make a menu that shows up on all pages and that's easy to add links to later?

Hi everyone, first post on the forums. I am very new to using Dreamweaver and making web pages in general, so bear with me
Here's what I want to do:
1. Make a web site with a menu bar on the left with about 30 links.
2. All 30 links go to different pages on the same website, and each page has the exact same layout, only the body text is different (same placement of advertising, menu, etc.)
3. I want to be able to add links to that menu quickly and easily.
In other words, I basically want to just make one static menu that shows up the same way on each page of my site.
Now, how I am thinking is best to do this is to make one menu its own page (in its own frame??) and just have each page on my site link to that menu, so that whenever I want to update the menu, I don't have to update the static menu on each page of my website, only the one menu.html or whatever.
This is probably the easiest thing in the world to do and I'm probably not using the proper terminology or anything, but I hope that I have explained myself clearly.
Please respond if you have any ideas about how to accomplish this. Thank you!

While Breqent is right that server side includes are the best way of doing this if you aren't up on
server side coding then you can use Dreamweaver to manage you menu.
You do this by simply ensuring you never edit the menu area on any individual page.
It should therefore be identical on all page and as such you can just use find and replace across the entire site or folder to edit all occurances of your menu.
I hope this helps.

How to print the Actual Check on 1st Page if line items are more for F110_p

Hi,
How to print the Actual Check on 1st page if the line items are more in F110_PRENUM_CHCK script. The standard script is printing at the last page of line items.
I tried using
IF &PAGE& EQ '1 '
/E 545 --> text element
ENDIF
but it is of no use.
Please let me know if anyone knows. Thanks in Advance.

Hi Krishna,
I guess, there is no other possible way to acheive this without modifying the standard driver program. Why because? in you driver program you check window will be called only on the last page... but before you change your driver program give a try like shown below....
Not sure, but give a try... In the first page you will be printing some void check try to replace the code inside the text element of void check with original check and make all the check void... note: in this text element, be sure you write two conditions...
IF &PAGE& = 1.
**PRint all check values..
ELSE.
***Print void values
ENDIF.
Close the thread if your question is answered.

Sairam

APEX Bug: Page Copy with Items in Region on Page 0

I've created a region on Page 0 which is a common place holder for items. On all the pages developers will link several items to this region.
If I copy a page that has items associated to a region on Page 0 those items are not copied. Items that are associated to regions on the current page get copied

Iweb background stretches when objects are moved around the page

Hello, I am creating a simple site in iWeb and I cannot get my background image to be consistent through all of my pages. What I mean is the position of the image varies slightly through the pages. In my home page (and all of my other pages)the background is set to "Image Fill" and "Scale to Fill", and the page sizes are all the same at 700px wide by 480px high. I have the nav bar and page heading/title positioned exactly the same on all pages also.
I notice that when I move around text boxes that are in a page the background stretches or shrinks depending on the position of the box, and am assuming that this has something to do with it, but like I said before, the navigation and header "text boxes" are all positioned the same. Is there any way to turn off this scaling of the background when moving objects around the page? Or does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this image and make it consistent through all of my pages? Thanks for your help.

When you set as image as a page background and set it to scale for fill, when you move text downward, extending the length of the page, the image size will change no matter what fill option is used, fit, fill stretch or tile. Using the original size will keep the image exactly the same in all instances but if the page is lengthened beyond the images height you'll get the browser's background to show in the page. But, if you size the image you're using to be taller than any of your pages it will be fixed in all your pages. NOTE: You can use this method only on White and Black blog layouts. However it the blog length gets long it will extend beyond the image height. So set up the image and blog accordingly.
Try using the image for the browser background and set the page background to none. That will keep the image the same for all layouts. If you have a blog you can change the theme to White or Black, depending on the font color needed, and can use the image for browser background method. The image will need to be large enough to fill the browser's window and will be locked at the left edge. That is if the browser window is widened the image will not be centered but set at the left side of the window.

Using javascript in PDF how to identify insatnces of field on all pages

Hi,
I am creating a PDF document with report kind strcuture,so that if i have a field in 1 Page (Header section ) then the field will also be there on Page 2 (Header section ) and so on for all pages.
I am basically creating from a tool.So if i have text field on Page 1 with name 'text1' then on Page 2 it has a name say 'text1_osi21' kind.
What i need is how to identify or get all the occurences of my desired field on all pages.
I also tried with getField('text1.0') kind but it wont work since for the second,thrid ... instances of the field its appending a value 'osi#'.
Also tried using 'rect' properties but we cant gurantee about the position of the desired field to remain same on all pages.
Please help with any clue

HTML website, SWF do a load animation only once. Same file used on all pages?

Hey all,
Just going through some thinking here. My HTML website is
going to using a flash header and navigation. Now I will be using
the same swf's on all of the pages across the site. I would like to
play a loading animation only on the first time the swfs are
loaded. Is there a way to do this? Or because I am using the same
swf's will it be okay to just tell my mc to go sit on a specific
frame and because it is in the cache each page will be using the
same file so the mc will still be at that frame or???
And help would be nice...

Object not printing on 'ALL PAGES' as specified in Property sheet, 'PRINT OBJECT ON' property.
page size orientation has been verified at main report layout node 'f4', it is set 11x8.5
Thanks for your help.

Got it.
Problem:
Heading included in Main body printing only on first page even though, PROPERTY, PRINT_OBJECTS_ON for all objects are set to:
ALL PAGES.
Solution: Select the parent frame of the objects that are printing on all pages and drag it down to include the frame that encloses the Heading information that is currently not printing.

All pages option in a dynamic table

I have a report with a dynamic table. It has 4 columns in the pages section.
When using the option for All Pages... the 1st. column in the page section has the added option All Pages.
It just happens that this option ignores the other 3 selections...
It seems that when we have 4 columns in the pages... the selections are ANDed... and I´d like to have in each column an option like blank or All so that it would not restrict records shown...
Pls. is that possible somehow ?

Maybe another workaround for you can be to make use of a dashboard prompt. However you have to create a dashboard for your report.

A script to make all page references into hyperlinks

Hi,
I have a customer request to make all pages references into hyperlinks.
For example: when you see in the text of the PDF "page 4", you can click on it and move to page 4. This of course can be done manually with InDesign. The problem starts when you have whole load of them. In addition to that, I have this project as a book, with several different documents...
I used the script "Automatic hyperlink of each word in a file" from http://www.nobrainer.dk/automatic-hyperlink-of-each-word-in-a-file/ as a base, and modified it for my porpuse. Currently it still produces errors. Any idea what's the bug?
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
var myHyperlinkStyle = myDocument.characterStyles.item("hyperlink"); // replace hyperlink with name of your char style for links
//alert(myHyperlinkStyle);
main();
} else {
alert("Please open a document");
function main() {
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
//the value to find
myFindVal = "page (\\d+)";
doSearchAndReplace(myFindVal, app.activeDocument);
// reset search
app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;

app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeHiddenLayers = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedLayersForFind = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeLockedStoriesForFind = false;
app.findChangeGrepOptions.includeMasterPages = false;
var myFoundItems = searchin.findGrep();
for (i = 0; i < myFoundItems.length; i++) {
var item = myFoundItems[i].contents;
//the destination page
var destPageNumber = item.slice(5);
var destPage = searchin.pages.itemByName(destPageNumber);
var myHyperlinkDestination = myMakeHyperlinkDestination(destPage);
myMakeHyperlink(myFoundItems[i], myHyperlinkDestination);
myFoundItems[i].applyCharacterStyle(myHyperlinkStyle, false);
function myMakeHyperlink(myFoundItem, myHyperlinkDestination){
try {

Include menu code on all page at once

Hello to everyone.
How can I add top navigation menu, on all folio pages at once, without copying code menu to all pages separately? And how to fix this menu on top of the page, without using scrollable frame for content on page?
Similar menu You can see in Bloomberg Business week. When you navigating on article, menu always on top, and do not scroll with content.

There is no way in DPS natively to add a menu to the top of every page that stays fixed while the reader navigates. As you suggest, a scrollable frame is one workaround. Another is to make HTML articles where your code does the header and keeps it in a fixed location. In both situations you will still see the header move with the content when the user swipes left and right.
Bloomberg Businessweek isn't a DPS publication, so I'm not sure how they are doing it.
