Unlocking an existing template

I was asked to update a friends website and its all
templates, with editable/uneditable areas. How do I or is it
possible to unlock an existing template?

> and its all templates, with editable/uneditable areas
Okay. How many pages are in this site?
What's your understanding on how dreamweaver templates work?
and- to be sure, what are you going to edit the files with?
Dreamweaver or
some other editor?
Terminology of locked or uneditable areas, and editable areas
is clear?
Do you or the friend who owns the site want it to end up
after the updates
with functional templates, or do you just want to make the
needed changes
and be done with it?

Create frameset based on an existing template

I'm using DW CS4. I'm using a template with header, sidebar and main content divs for most of my pages. But I want one page to be a frameset with the same header and sidebar but the main content is a frame that changes based on selections from the sidebar. I want it based on my existing template so when I update the header in the template, my frameset page gets updated. I can't just save the header in the library because it contains a spry menu. Any suggestions?

I suggest to create a css based layout on your existing template. Here is a tutorial on the pros and cons of using frames.
Make a common page with a header, sidebar and content and copy that to use in the rest. You can define background images for each so if you want to update your banner, you can do that in your css

Creating new template using existing template

Is anyone aware of a way to create a new project template using an existing template? I am testing a few scenarios and want to quickly be able to create a template without setting one up from scratch.
I tried a few ways but could not find a way to do this - you can only create a project using a template, not another template.
Thanks,
Sachin

Hi,
Find the template from setup->Projects->Templates and use copyto , new template will be created from existing one.

How to change background image in existing template?

Hi
Current website needs overall change in background image which is already set in template. Is there anyone who knows how to change background image in existing templates?

Make a friend with firebug & you could find yourself from where it is getting applied.
For the website you have given the background image it is using is [1] and it is getting set in css of body tag [2]. So Find the css at [3] and modify it OR replace [1] with other image with same file name.
[1]   www.hanwha.com/etc/designs/hanwha/images/bg-body.jpg
[2]
body {
    background: url("images/bg-body.jpg") repeat-x scroll 50% 0 #FFFFFF;
    color: #757373;
    font: 14px/18px Arial,Verdana,Helvetica,sans-serif;
    margin: 0;
    min-width: 979px;

How can we run existing Templates

HI,
In EP development side, usually we will use the existing templates to print our sales reports etc., so i just imported the business package which is provided by other vendors, but i am trying to see the iview, it is giving the error as----
<b>Portal Runtime Error
An exception occurred while processing a request for :
iView : N/A
Component Name : N/A
Unable to lookup System 'SAP_BW'. Please check the system object and the alias..
See the details for the exception ID in the log file</b>
and other error is,
<b>com.sap.portal.appintegrator.sap.BWReport::BWReport/RoadRunnerSSOLayer</b>
so, please tell me the steps to be taken to execute the Template reports, is there any necessity to create again system object? if so what system i need to create either a SAP R/3 or BW..tell me the procedure of this also.
Thanks and Regards,
Sireesha.

Hi
First, you can active the template in the SAP BW systems.
In the system SAP BW across of the follow steps:
1.- Run the transaction RSA1
2.- Look by type of object and you should find "Web template"
3.- Across of the option "Search",
4.- Finally, this template you have, activate that.
After, can you test in the portal.
I hope that with this change the Business package work

Using Existing Template for new pdf's

How do I use and existing template of pdf's to create new ones. I just want to copy and past new pics and text where existing pics and text exist in a template that is already made?
Also, How can I make all pictures the same size?

1) If you're using Adobe Reader, you can't edit PDFs at all.
2) In Acrobat you can make some changes to a PDF file but they are not editable documents in the same way a Word or InDesign file is. PDFs are end destination files - you export them from another application, and if you want to make significant changes you edit the original document and re-export a whole new PDF.

Loading a pre existing template and editing.

I bought an existing template from a website a year ago and was able to find out how to load it into dreamweaver so that it was editable because if you just opened the index page and starting typing it would tell you your editing a non editable region and would not update the other pages. Now I cant figure out how to do that again!   I know it had something to do with the .DWT files and if you edit that then it would update the child pages also.   Ive been searching for about 2 hours and cant find anything even though the answer is probably right under my nose.

That is when editing the template.dwt here is the code.

How to delete existing templates -- because they override DW files

I can't figure out how to crreate a new BC site and delete all the existing template files.
Some I can. Others override the Dreamweaver files that I try to upload.

I didn't want any BC templates. And I don't have one in DW to replace BC default one with.
The BC CSS Style sheet defintiely overrides DW style sheets. Here's what I'm talking about after I delete lots of BC CSS files:

I can't delete this, this is from BC template:

WLI attempts to execute non existent template definition ID

Reproduce Bug:
Delete existing template definition and import again from jar.
Input an XML event into EventQueue.
WLI provides the following stack:
<Aug 27, 2002 10:45:17 AM EDT> <Debug> <BPM> <000000> <EventProcessor 6442868
ExecuteThread: '9' for queue: 'default': This EventCandidate TemplateDefinition:
2003 is not the most active>
I looked inside the TemplateDefinition table and it holds only one templateDefinitionID
which is 5001. Clearly the WLI runtime attempts to execute a non existent templateDefinionID.
Suggestions?

To find the problem in the underlying WLI data, run the following SQL:
select ew.EventDescriptor, ek.expression, t.name,td.templateDefinitionId, to.Templateid,
to.orgid
From EventWatch ew, EventKey ek, Template t, TemplateDefinition td, TemplateOrg
to
where ew.eventdescriptor = ew.eventdescriptor
and t.templateid = ew.templateid
and td.templateid = t.templateid
and to.templateid = t.templateid

Migrating from standalone ITS to internal ITS u0096 copy existing templates

Dear Sirs,
I am in the process of migrating from Standalone ITS to the internal one. I have found several documents on the issue and the help section for the migration, http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cd/8a424089ff2571e10000000a155106/content.htm
Currently I am using a standalone ITS server, 6.20 PL13, to access/run IAC components on ERP2004 server ZXY. In the new setup I wan to run the internal ITS on server ZXY instead.
I have however a question regarding the process. Step one in the process is to Copy the existing templates.
If I enter the transaction SE80, I am not able to see all of the IAC component names which are referenced in my portal iViews. I therefore assume that the ones which does not show up, has not been converted properly.
I therefore go into transaction SIAC1 to look for them there (as described in ITS New storage structures as of Web SAP AS 6.40, 678904), but I am however unable to find them there either.
Do I have to go the current ITS server and somehow copy the files/IAC manually (save on disk), and then upload then with SIAC_UPLOAD (from se38) onto the R/3 system. Or do they exist already on my R/3 system just that they arent shown?
Could a solution be that the name of the IAC component in the portal iview, differs from the name actually used in the R/3 system.
Any pointers or hints on this issue are appreciated.
Best regards,
Jørgen

Deepak Sharma,
Thank you for your reply. But I have already published the services internally and actually have used the 'webgui' service successfully. What I am trying to do now is to copy the custom services (there are only 2) to the integrated ITS from my standalone ITS server.

SWDD abends when dragging a step type into existing template

Hello,
The following steps cause an abend. Has anyone seen this and found a fix?
- Start transaction SWWD
- drag a new step type into an existing workflow template
- at the cursor a plus sign displays
- upon releasing the mouse button the program abends
I created an incident report in OSS. While awaiting their response I thought I would ask the community.
The abend listing is included in an attachment.
Thanks
Bruce

Hi Bruce
Solution: Note 1783103 - Short dump or system hanging during drag and drop in the workflow builder - Same abend message and steps. This note asks to Apply note 1769371 to solve the issue. Please note that the correction comes with SAP GUI 7.30 patch 2 ... Ronen Weisz is correct in saying that the SAP GUI is the culprit here ;-)

modak

What is the quickest way to incorporate a new template's styles into an existing template?

Recently my company have developed a new template. I am creating a document using much content which already exists in an older template with different paragraph styles, table formats and page formats. What is the quickest way to incorporate the new styles so I don't have to individually update the table contents. The paragraph catelog and tables have different titles in the two documents.
Thanks,
Niall.

Do you know where I can find a copy of Template Mapper? I went to http://ig5authoringtools.com/plugin-directory/single-sourcing/templatemapper/ and it is not there.
Thanks in advance

Existing template problem

Hello all,
I created a template for an existing web site and did all of
the updating ok. Well, I made the mistake of not backing up the
template and my computer crashed. I went through the pages and
detached them from the previous template and then created a new
template for the site.
Problem is, when I try to apply the new template to any of
the pages, it duplicates the editable region to all of the web
pages, essentially wiping out their different content. What am I
doing wrong?

> What am I doing wrong?
Just about everything.
Rule #1 - never detach pages from a template unless it's an
absolute last
resort. It would have been (most likely) a simple thing to
just recreate
the template from one of the child pages (simple, unless you
have used
Template parameters, or some of the more advanced Template
options).
Rule #2 - never apply a template to a page with existing
content. Instead,
spawn a new page from the Template, copy/paste content from
the old child
page to the new one, and then overwrite the old with the new.
Repeat until
done.

Replacing existing template - need to add editable regions

I've created a new design for my website and created a new template that uses the same editable regions so it will correctly update all of the existing pages based on the old template. How can I add new editable regions to the template? I was told that the editable regions have to matach exactly. Is there a way around this where I can add new ones?

It all depends on how you set-up your original template. Can we see a link to your template or the code from it?
