Updating Templates in Dreamweaver & Keeping Client Side Updates

I have a situation with a website where the client requests a
change to be made within the main menu system of the website, so
all of the templates & the entire site must be updated. I
download the latest version of the site, to ensure the content
added is up to date & included, make the necessary changes
& update all pages, everything is fine, until we check the site
& find out the content that has recently been added by the
client is missing.
So, when the template is edited, the documents created using
those templates are updated partially - the recent additions made
through Contribute by the client are lost.
This is highly problematic, as it would require the client
keeping track of changes made to ensure they are still available
after updating the site.
Has anyone experienced this type of issue with Contribute who
can offer any ways to reduce the impact of this happening? Or at
least ensure the client this is manageable - as in theory, the
templates should update the html files as they are.
Thanks in advance.
Is there any way to stop this happening in the future? It
seems quite strange that

This is not nic, but I had the same problem. I have two
answers for you:
Answer 1:
Maybe something went wrong with the communication between
Dreamweaver and Contribute (mistakes in the checking out of files).
I've experienced problems myself with very large websites (never
with the smaller ones).
I think the beste solution to try out is:
1. to download the whole site from the server using an ftp
program )(and make a working version and a back up)
2. disable contribute compatibility in Dreamweaver (so no
checking in or out is happening)
3. adjust the templates (put menu's and other stuf that needs
to be updated more often in include files, see answer 2)
4. update all the pages on saving the template
5. check the result and if everything is OK now, upload the
updated files using the ftp program.
6. enable dreamweaver compatibility with contribute
Answer 2:
For the future I would make sure that your menu's and other
parts of the templates that need to be updated more often then the
design, are included using a script language like PHP ( <?php
include("file-to-be-included.php"); ?> ).
This way you never have to take so much trouble updating
these parts of the website, since there are all in seperate files.

How To Update A Table View From Client Side !!!!

Hi I would like to update a table view from the Client Side. So that the user can keep updating the relevent data on the client and when they have finally finished they can press Save so the entire page is then sent to the Server.
Does anyone know how to do this, I guess u have to use the EPCM, I have just started on it and would really appreciate some Help.
Thanks,
Emmanuel.

This is what I found :-
There are a couple of ways to approach this.
1) load the excel spreadsheet into the database "as is". You can use interMedia
text to convert the .xls file into a .htm file (HTML) or use iFS (see
http://technet.oracle.com/
for
more info on that) to parse it as well. InterMedia text will convert your XLS
spreadsheet into a big HTML table (easy to parse out what you need at that
point)
2) Using OLE automation, a program you write can interact with Excel, request
data from a spreadsheet, and insert it. Oracle Forms is capable of doing this
for example as is other languages environments. In this fashion, you can remove
the "manual" and "sqlldr" parts -- your program can automatically insert the
data.
3) You can write a VB script that uses ODBC or Oracle Objects for OLE (OO4O) in
Excel. This VB script would be able to put selected data from the spreadsheet
into the database. We would recommend OO4O. It provides an In-Process COM
Automation Server that provides a set of COM Automation interfaces/objects for
connecting to Oracle database servers, executing queries and managing the
results. OO4O is available from
http://technet.oracle.com

Updating Templates in Dreamweaver with a Contribute managed site?

My company sited up a site for one of our clients using Dreamweaver. We created templates with update sidebar, header and such if needed to. The client uses Contribute to manage the main content sections and create new pages.
I have the site saved locally on my computer. Make the changes to the template which updates the all the pages linked to it but when I upload them it overwrites the content the clients has made.
What is the best way update the templates in Dreamweaver without over-writing the main content parts of the the client had made with Contribute?

Before you make any changes, perform a Get (down arrow icon in the Files menu) operation to download any client-updated files first. That way, your local files will be exact duplicates of what the client has placed on the server. After verifying you have the most recent versions, make your change and upload.

Writing and updating XML file on client side

Hello,
I'm looking for a simple example which permit to write and
update a xml file on the client side.
Someone can help me, please?

meghashyamgr ,
Because of security reasons a swf running in a browser cannot
read or write xml files to a user's computer. What can be done,
however, is write xml to what is known as a SharedObject.
SharedObjects act as cookies for Flashplayer.
If you would like an example of this I'd be more than happy

Disabled components enabled on client side don't update

If I set a component in my jsp as disabled, such as a checkbox, it shows up on the client side disabled as one would expect.
However, if I use javascript to enable it, and change it's value, then submit the page, the value is never updated as you would expect.
What's the scoop?
Thanks,
Mike.

C> However, if I use javascript to enable it, and change it's value,
C> then submit the page, the value is never updated as you would expect.
Here's one possible solution until we can figure out something more
clean.
You're using client JavaScript to modify the enabled/disabled state of a
component in the page, and you want that setting to be reflected when
the page is processed by JSF, right? Well, have you client javascript
generate a hidden field containing the enabled/disabled state of the
component. You install a PhaseListener for the before
ApplyRequestValues phase that looks for the hidden field and modifies
the component accordingly.
This isn't as hacky as it sounds when you consider that you can use such
a "before" phase to handle any and all JS mods and apply them to the
component tree before any decoding occurrs.

Help! Dreamweaver keeps automatically 'putting' my template onto the server every time I save it.

For some reason Dreamweaver keeps automatically 'putting' my template onto the server every time I save it, overwriting the template that was originally on there and I don't know why. It never used to do this and all my other sites work fine and don't have this problem... I don't want it to keep overwriting the files I have on the server... does anyone know how to stop it from doing this please? I would greatly appreciate any help anyone can give.
If it helps, I'm using CS4.
Thanks,
Catherine.

Thank you!
For this particular website I only have one template. The website is up and running online, but I'm still working on it, trying to improve it and I'd like to preview before I upload it to the server and alter the other pages. I did have a backup of the template on the server as you said, but because I was experimenting with something in the local copy, the design changed quite a lot, and suddenly it was 'put' automatically (which was something it had never done before) resulting in a loss of the original template. Fortunately I ignored the prompt asking me to update the pages from this template, so the overall design of my live website has remained in tact. I pressed F12 as I always do and instead of taking me to my default browser for live preview, it 'put' the template onto the server. This is what I'd like to avoid doing again.
Thank you for your response! I really appreciate your help.
Catherine.

Refreshing client side templates for EVHOT functionality

Dear All,
This query is regarding using EVHOT functionality in BPC for Excel. This functionality works only for files present in the local machine. How do I refresh client side templates so that new templates get downloaded to client machines and can be opened using EVHOT? Does simply restarting BPC for Excel in client machines work?

Hello,
I have seen many customers struggle with this same issue and solved it by performing the following steps.
1.Open BPC for Excel
2.From the eTools menu select Open Template Library
3.Open the template
4.From the eTools menu select Save Template Library and overwrite template on the SERVER
5.You will be prompted to update template version, choose YES
6.Clear local application information from the etools -> options menu
7.Open Admin and increment template version 1 then click update version
8.Login to BPC for Excel
I hope this helps!

XSL Fragment into HTML via Client-Side Transform

I am designing a site for a school. I searched and found the
post here from July 25, and I have also read the Dreamweaver
help file till I'm blue in the face. They talk all around the
answer but never definitively say if it's possible to do this.
Dreamweaver help mentions:
-- Workflow for performting client-side xsl transformations
Do one of the following:
In your Dreamweaver site, create an entire XSLT page. See
Creating entire XSLT pages.
Convert an existing HTML page to an entire XSLT page. See
Converting HTML pages to XSLT pages.
All the online tutorials show server-side transforms but I'm
not skilled in that...nor do I know if the hosting entity will
provide that level of access to their .NET server.
---- ok. that's the background of the situation. Now to my
problem. ---
We plan to have two mutually exclusive areas on the home
page, such as news & events, that will be updated by a single
school employee. The plan is to create two XML text files that one
teacher can update.
The XMLfiles will be manually uploaded to the web site and
the home page will read that data into properly formatted
information on the home page. I would greatly prefer to keep the
entire process as a client-side procedure.
I have created and linked XSL fragments to the XML data.
If I try to copy and paste code from the XSL fragment into
the index HTML page, I get nothing.
Success comes only after converting the home page into an
XSLT 1.0 file using Dreamweaver and copying and pasting the code
fromt he XSL file into the newly created XSLT file.
Hence my questions:
1 Can I bring these XSL fragments into an HTML home page or
do I have to convert it to XSLT?
2. If I must convert the HTML file to an XSLT file, can
people still type the website address in as www dot site dot com
and the XSLT file will open without anyone knowing the difference?
3. Can I even do this with a client-side transform?
4. Is it possible for one page to reference two separate XSL
fragments pointing to the two separate respective XML files?
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Eric,
these are the cache control headers of the request that serves the XSLT:
GET http://www.carsten-leue.de/test/iframe_xslt/xslt.php HTTP/1.1
Accept: */*
Referer: http://www.carsten-leue.de/test/iframe_xslt/xslt.php
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; Trident/7.0; rv:11.0) like Gecko
Host: www.carsten-leue.de
DNT: 1
Connection: Keep-Alive
There does not seem to be a header involved that prevents caching.
You mention the "legacy ActiveX" control. In which sense is this control involved in the usecase? In my scenario I am pointing the browser to the XML document that has an associated stylesheet and the browser automatically executes the transform.
I am not explicitly triggering the transform via some script in the page.
Does the ActiveX control still play a role in this scenario?

Clone Rows - Tabular form - Client side add rows

Hello all,
I feel in love with this particular Tabular form, http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:49 because of the Capabilities it has to create a "clone row".
a very advance feature I like a lot.
The trouble is when I go under >Report> and select which columns I would like to view, some will be hidden with default values.
the default values I would like to keep hidden are: a Time Stamp, and :APP_USER.
So when the user decides to clone a row the first original row will stay intact with all the information including the hidden values, but as for the cloned rows the hidden values are missing.
Is there something missing in the javascript that permits this from happening?
Please Help.
<script type="text/javascript">
var g_this;
function fn_delete(pThis)
var l_tr=$x_UpTill(pThis,'TR');
l_tr.parentNode.removeChild(l_tr);
function fn_CloneRow(pThis){
g_this=pThis;
l_tr=$x_UpTill(pThis,'TR');
l_table=$x_UpTill(l_tr,'TABLE');
l_tbody=$x_UpTill(l_tr,'TBODY');
l_clone=l_tr.cloneNode(true);
html_RowHighlight(l_clone,"D0D0E0");
l_inputs=l_clone.getElementsByTagName('input');
for (var j=0;j<l_inputs.length;j++) {
l_this=l_inputs[j];
if (l_this.type=="hidden") l_this.value="";
if (l_this.name=="fcs") l_this.value="zzzz";
if (l_this.type=="checkbox") l_this.parentNode.removeChild(l_this);
// Change Clone functionality to Delete
var l_img=l_clone.getElementsByTagName('img')[0];
l_img.src="/i/delete.gif";
if (document.all) l_img.onclick=function(){fn_delete(this)};
else l_img.setAttribute("onclick","fn_delete(this)");
l_tbody.insertBefore(l_clone,l_tr.nextSibling?l_tr.nextSibling:l_tr);
</script>

I have't looked at the specific clone-row sample code you mentioned in your post, but just wanted to point out that we've introduced client-side add-row functionality in APEX 4.0, so if you're using this code to add new rows on the client-side, then using the built-in functionality might be easier. Of course if you actually want to get a copy of an existing row, that might not be sufficient. As for the MRU process, the way APEX identifies new rows is by looking at the primary key or ROWID column value, which needs to be NULL. APEX also looks at the apex_application.g_fcud array, which holds information for each row on whether to do an create, update or delete. This array was introduced in APEX 4.0, and that's what could potentially be causing your example to fail after the upgrade.

Use of category filters in client side GWI

Hi
With help from the forums, I am now experimenting with client side GWI but I cannot find any documentation that describes the use of the category filter field in the Sync properties tab of the options.
I have already reviewed the documentation at : [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm50/helpdata/en/74/49af3ab73dc363e10000000a114084/frameset.htm]
I am using MSA 5.0 SP11 and MS Outlook 2007
Can anyone help?
Alternatively, can anyone point me in the direction of any more advanced config guides?
Thanks
James
Edited by: James Preston on Feb 8, 2009 6:48 PM

Thanks Rashmi
My investigation leads me to believe that there is a bit more too it than that if I want to use this filter effectively.
If I do not put a filter that is in both my Outlook Master Categroy list AND maintained in SPRO, it deletes the activity in the MSA Calendar. If I do not use the filter field at all it works just fine, but we need to restrict the activities flowing in the direction Mail >> Mobile
I will keep experimenting and update this post with my findings.
FYI - I have also found an issue with the conflict resolution which I will be raising an OSS for.
Scenario: On the conflict resolution tab, in the Ask for confirmation when area, ALL of the boxes are UNCHECKED.
In the Conflict handling section, SAP CRM has priority is selected.
I would expect, therefore, if I were to delete an appointment in Outlook, it should NOT delete it automatically from MSA...but it does!
This is just for info, but if you know anything about this, let me know and I can raise another forum thread so that the correct points can be awarded

James

Secondly , I tried to use Validators using method validations.but did not succeed in it. Because , I am not getting how to keep validations for AJax text field( completionField)

How can i load file into database from client-side to server-side

i want to upload file from client-side to server-side, i use the following code to load blob into database.
if the file is in the server-side, it can work, but if it in the client-side, it said that the system cannot find the file. i think it only will search the file is in the server-side or not, it will not search the client-side.
how can i solve it without upload the file to the server first, then load it into database??
try
ResultSet rset = null;
PreparedStatement pstmt =
conn.prepareStatement ("insert into docs values (? , EMPTY_BLOB())");
pstmt.setInt (1, docId);
pstmt.execute ();
// Open the destination blob:
pstmt.setInt (1, docId);
rset = pstmt.executeQuery (
"SELECT content FROM docs WHERE id = ? FOR UPDATE");
BLOB dest_lob = null;
if (rset.next()) {
dest_lob = ((OracleResultSet)rset).getBLOB (1);
// Declare a file handler for the input file
File binaryFile = new File (fileName);
FileInputStream istream = new FileInputStream (binaryFile);
// Create an OutputStram object to write the BLOB as a stream
OutputStream ostream = dest_lob.getBinaryOutputStream();
// Create a tempory buffer
byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
int length = 0;
// Use the read() method to read the file to the byte
// array buffer, then use the write() method to write it to
// the BLOB.
while ((length = istream.read(buffer)) != -1)
ostream.write(buffer, 0, length);
pstmt.close();
// Close all streams and file handles:
istream.close();
ostream.flush();
ostream.close();
//dest_lob.close();
// Commit the transaction:
conn.commit();
conn.close();
} catch (SQLException e) {

Hi,
Without some more details of the configuration, its difficult to know
what's happening here. For example, what do you mean by client side
and server side, and where are you running the upload Java application?
If you always run the application on the database server system, but can't
open the file on a different machine, then it sounds like a file protection
problem that isn't really connected with the database at all. That is to
say, if the new FileInputStream (binaryFile) statement fails, then its not
really a database problem, but a file protection issue. On the other hand,
I can't explain what's happening if you run the program on the same machine
as the document file (client machine), but you can't write the data to the
server, assuming the JDBC connection string is set correctly to connect to
the appropriate database server.
If you can provide some more information, we'll try to help.

The reason I asked about the computer OS was in case you needed to do a clean install of iTunes. It works differently on the Mac computer than on Windows. A complete uninstall and reinstall on a Windows computer requires you to follow specific instructions in a support document, while on a Mac, I have read you just have to reinstall over the old one.
I'm not sure if installing/updating to iTunes 11 would be the same on Windows or not, but since you report using a Mac, then it is probably a mute point. Good luck.
