Unstructured user interface template substitution tags

Does anyone know where I can find a full list of substitution tags. An example of the tags I am talking about would be #BODY#

Click on the help link in Portal and search on:
template substitution tags
The link should provide you with a table of all supported #tags#.
Thanks,
Candace

User interface template substitution tags problem

Portal 9.0.2.0.3 (Upgraded from 9.0.2.2.14A)
Hi all,
I am designing an unstructured user interface for use with my portal reports.
I have located a help document called 'Unstructured user interface template substitution tags' from the standard portal help pages.
My problem is that only a few of these tags are actually being substituted for their correct values when I run my reports. For example the help document says the #PAGE.CUSTOMIZEPAGE# tag should be substituted with HTML text hyperlink to the customize page dialog. On my report this tag and the majority of others are substituted with a blank line.
Any ideas?

Same problem exists with the #TITLE# tag. However, SOMETIMES (I don't know how or why) the tag shows up. If I find out what the secret is, I'll let you know.
Anyone else have any input?

How to use own style sheet in user interface templates to change buttons, fields look

I want to use my own style sheet to change the appearance of buttons, form fields etc. while applying my own user interface template. I know I can create an unstructured UI template to change logos, body color etc. but how do I apply css to buttons, fields generated by the portal components form wizard ?
If this is not possible, how do I create my own form and get the same functionalities of a wizard generated form ?
Thanks.

Mrinal,
I have solved that problem fortunately.
What I did was to create my own unstructured user interface template. In the unstructured UI template, you can use style.
for example, in between the <head> tags, write <style> tages and create own classes for buttons, textboxes etc.
Then write a javascript to assign those classes to the buttons. Call the javascript function on OnLoad event in <BODY> tag.
That will do the job.
for example you have a style class called buttonclass for buttons.
<script langauge=javascript1.1>
function setstyle(form) {
for (var i=0; i<form.length; i++) {
if (form.elements.type == 'button') {
form.elements[i].className = "buttonclass";
</script>
<BODY onLoad = "setstyle(document.forms[0]);">
hope this helps.

User Interface Template for Interactive Report Region

In 3.2, where do we set the user interface template for Interactive Reports region?
No matter what out of the box theme I switch to, the Interactive Reports region shows the same. What and where do I change the template so that alternating rows use two different colors?

There is no template for Interactive Reports like for a "normal" report. You need to modify the CSS and supply your own for this to happen.
I believe most things are tagged with #apexir - firebug with Firebox is invaluable. This thread may help:

User Interface Template not displaying correctly

On some machines the user interface template is not displaying correctly (x is appearing instead of the images that make up the UI template). It does not seem to be a permissions related issue, as the same user can view the UI template on a different machine. It also doesn't seem to be a browser definitions issue as a different user on the same machine can view the UI template. Which leaves me at a loss for ideas...

Where are your images being used in the UI template stored? I like to place my images in directory:
<portalMidTier>/apache/apache/htdocs/img
Then from within the UI template I can relatively reference the images as /img/logo.gif

Language selection as part of User Interface Template

Hi all,
I'm looking for an alternative way of letting the user select language on portal pages. Instead of including the language selection portlet on all the pages, I wonder if I can implement language selection as links in the User Interface Template used by all the pages.
Has anyone done this?
Any ideas about how this could be done?
Thank you,
Oystein Hunnes

Portlets using user interface templates

I was wondering if it is possible for customized HTML portlets and even Struts portlets to use user interface templates? We are wanting to create a template so that all of our portlets will have a consistent look and feel, even application portlets.
Thanks, Julie

I might have worded our question wrong. We are wanting the portlets we create to use portal's style for headings, tables, etc. How can you allow html portlets or struts portlet, any of our own deployed portlets to pick up the portal style sheet.
Thanks,
Julie

User Interface Template Banner Advertising

Hi,
Has any1 figured out how to easily implement a banner advertising within the user interface template? I've developed a intranet site and the client wishes to be able to advertise important events via a banner. Is there a simple way to do this, rather than alter the template each time? Like perhaps be able to reference a text file or something?
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Regards
Naseem

How would you like this "Advertising Section" to be changed? Would the person creating the latest advertisment be able to create or modify items within the portal, or are they creating a file on their local machine and drop it off with WebDAV?
I think in finding the correct solution for you we must understand who is the contributor of the advertising and what type of portal user they are and how complex the advert is. Is it an image, and HTML file with images? Simple text?
There are definitely ways to update this content without changing the template directly, but I need to understand where you are OK with this this new content being placed and how it is made available to the portal.
Thanks,
Candace

Shared Component User Interface Templates not available for page use.

Hello.
I created a new User Interface Template using the wizard under shared components. All it's supposed to do is display a header image on the page. I can click on the title under User Interface Templates and it will display fine. If I try to use that template, it will not display as an option under Display Option use custom template LOV under the Main tab of page modifications. Shouldn't it be available here for selection? I couldn't find any access grant options under Shared Components that might have explained this problem.
Thanks.
Kurt

Does anyone else have this problem? How did you fix it?

Unstructured UI Template Substitution tags - PROBLEM

Hello
I'm trying to make a UI Template, but are having problems with the substitution tags.
I want to make a home-link, but with my own text such as "Take me home"
I've tried this approach:
Take me home
But as a result i get the standard icon for home, with the text "Home" under it
Can someone give me a hint how to solve this?
Regards
Per-Jarle

Hi,
Looks like you are doing something wrong. Try something like this.
<HTML dir=#DIRECTION#>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>#TITLE#</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY leftMargin="0" rightMargin="0" topMargin="0" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" class="PageBG">
oracle
<TABLE >
<TR>
<TD><IMG SRC="#IMAGE_PREFIX#pobtrans.gif" BORDER="0" WIDTH="0" HEIGHT="4"></TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
#PAGE.SUBPAGELINKS#
#BODY#
</BODY>
</HTML>
A home link will appear which will take you to oracle.
Thanks,

UI Template Substitution tags in a procedure

Version: 10.1.4
Is it possible to use Substitution tags in a procedure and call the procedure with in the UI template?
So the UI template will be:
<ORACLE>
BEGIN
Schema.procedureName;
END;
</ORACLE>
The procedure will be:
PROCEDURE procedureName as
BEGIN
htp.p('#USER.FULLNAME#');
END;
This way all the logic can be built in the procedure (taking advantage of the Substitution tags).
When I tried the above the Substitution tag is not rendered as it supposed to (display the User Full Name), but just displays it as raw HTML.
Is it possible/viable to use Substitution tags outside UI Templates?
Thanks.

The specific example you are asking about could also be implemented without substitution tags. The following is from a pl/sql item I added in my footer. Hope it's of use to you:
declare
l_person_rec wwsec_person%rowtype;
begin
htp.print('<div class=PortletText1>');
l_person_rec := wwsec_api.person_info( wwctx_api.get_user_id() );
if (l_person_rec.first_name = 'PUBLIC') then
   htp.print(l_person_rec.first_name);
else
   htp.print(l_person_rec.first_name || ' ' || l_person_rec.last_name);
end if;
begin
   htp.print('(' || wwsec_api.group_info(wwsec_api.get_defaultgroup()).name ||
exception when others then
   null;
end;
htp.print('</div>');
end;

Substitution tags

All,
The list of "unstructured user interface template substitution tags" in the 3.0.8 online help is not complete, and it contains errors. Examples:
#PAGE.SUBPAGELINKS# is not documented.
#BANNER.NAVIGATION# should read #BANNER.NAVIGATOR#
#BANNER.CUSTPAGE# should read #BANNER.CUSTOMIZEPAGE#
Is updated documentation available? If not, please provide the information that you have.

User Interfaces: Is the ain~ui~mobile Package in AII 2.1 still available?

Hello!
During my studies on the outbound scenario script, I found out that there must exist an <b>ainuimobile</b> WebDynPro application <b>for tagging and packing</b> via mobile reader.
This application is mentioned nowhere in the documentation. Just the obviously older process script uses a link to this application. I didn't found an entry for <b>ainuimobile</b> in the Web Dynpro Content Administrator screen. There is just the <b>ainsodesktop</b> package available. When I try the <b>/MobileReaderApplication</b> on the ainuimobile package, I get a lot of errors. Even when I try the /MobileReaderApplication on the ainsodesktop package, I get errors.
My question is: Is the ainuimobile package or something similar in AII 2.1 available? Has it been removed from 2.0 to 2.1? If this ships with AII 2.1, why isn't it installed with the standard installation?
Thanks in advance,
Johannes

Hi Haakon,
single component export/import is only supported for application which are identical on the source and target system. It relies on the fact that other referenced components (for example user interface, templates, ...) use the same IDs on body systems.
Because of the APEX 4.2 upgrade, that's not the case anymore. As part of the upgrade, several new components had to be created on the fly which do now have different IDs on dev and prod. That's why the single component export/import doesn't work anymore.
If the single component export/import is used to patch applications, it's recommended to do a full export of the app on dev and import it into prod after upgrading to a newer version of APEX to make sure that body systems are using the same component IDs. After that your single component deployment should work as before.

Patrick
