Use of template parameters

I have a standard Dreamweaver template with a photo in the
heading. I need to change this photo depending which page is being
shown. It occurred to me that a template parameter should do the
trick. I can find no help in the CS3 documentation, and the online
help no longer supports CS3 users. MX help does give a vague idea,
but nothing remotely like an example.
Can anyone tell me what I need to do to set this up

Template parameters seem like they would be a really nice way
to do thing.
They are a mixed blessing, though. The easiest way would be
with server
scripting, but if you want to try template parameters, do
this -
1. Open the Template page
2. Select the image
3. Use MODIFY | Templates > Make Attribute Editable
4. You will want to make the src attribute of the image tag
editable with a
URL parameter in the ensuing dialog
5. You can browse to and select an image to use for the
default value of
this image
After clicking OK, you will find the following changes on
your Template
page -
Above the </head> tag you will see -

and in the <img> tag you will see -
<img src="@@(whatever)@@"....
The template engine will insert the value of the "whatever"
parameter into
the src attribute of the <img> tag when a child page is
spawned (or
updated). On that child page, if you want to CHANGE the
value, use MODIFY |
Template Properties, and select "whatever", whereupon you
will get a dialog
to browse to and select a NEW image to use for this
parameter. This is the
ONLY way to change that parameter - if you try to edit it
directly it will
not work.
Try it. You'll see what I mean.
And by the way, you might find some useful info here -

Using SET GET parameters in ITS

Hi All,
Is it possible to use set get parameters in ITS. We want to set some parameters in a BADI and read the value in ITS Template .
Or is there any other method to do this?
Thanks,
Anubhav

Sure. In your abap program use the following code
* ITS macros
INCLUDE avwrtcxm.
GET PARAMETER ID 'YOUR_PARAMETER' FIELD SAVE_PARAMETER.
field-set u2018~YOUR_PARAMETERu2019 1 SAVE_PARAMETER.
field-transport.
in the template you can now use ~YOUR_PARAMETER.
regards,
Klaus

Link to PL/SQL procedure using a Template Manager template.

Hi,
I need to link a portal application report (report from SQL query) to a SQL procedure that uses a template manager template. The PL/SQL procedure requires parameters. I'm not be able to create a link based on a PL/SQL procedure. The only solution I found is to setup a link to a Form based on that procedure. But the form is only used to call the PL/SQL procedure by clicking the submit button and redirect to the template.
Another question:
Is it planed to support dynamic links based on column conditions?
I'm using Portal release 3.0.7.6.2.
thanks in advance

You may want to search the Oracle9iAS Portal Applications forum. It may have the answer you are looking for. This forum is for questions related to the Portal Development Kit.

How to use multiple selection parameters in the data model

Hi, after have looked all the previous threads about how to use multiple selection parameters , I still have a problem;
I'm using Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.3.2 and I'm tried to define more than one multiple selection parameters inside the data template;
Inside a simple SQL queries they work perfectly....but inside the data template I have errors.
My data template is the following (it's very simple...I am just testing how the parameters work):
<dataTemplate name="Test" defaultPackage="bip_departments_2_parameters">
<parameters>
<parameter name="p_dep_2_param" include_in_output="false" datatype="character"/>
<parameter name="p_loc_1_param" include_in_output="false" datatype="character"/>
</parameters>
<dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="bip_departments_2_parameters.beforeReportTrigger"/>
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q2">
<![CDATA[
select deptno, dname,loc
from dept
&p_where_clause
]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_DEPT" source="Q2">
<element name="deptno" value="deptno"/>
<element name="dname" value="dname"/>
<element name="loc" value="loc"/>
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
The 2 parameters are based on these LOV:
1) select distinct dname from dept (p_dep_2_param)
2) select distinct loc from dept (p_loc_1_param)
and both of them have checked the "Multiple selection" and "Can select all" boxes
The package I created, in order to use the lexical refence is:
CREATE OR REPLACE package SCOTT.bip_departments_2_parameters
as
p_dep_2_param varchar2(14);
p_loc_1_param varchar2(20);
p_where_clause varchar2(100);
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean;
end bip_departments_2_parameters;
CREATE OR REPLACE package body SCOTT.bip_departments_2_parameters
as
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean
is
l_return boolean := true;
begin
if (p_dep_2_param is not null) --and (p_loc_1_param is not null)
then
p_where_clause := 'where (dname in (' || replace (p_dep_1_param, '''') || ') and loc in (' || replace (p_loc_1_param, '''') || '))';
else
p_where_clause := 'where 1=1';
end if;
return (l_return);
end beforereporttrigger;
end bip_departments_2_parameters;
As you see, I tried to have only one p_where_clause (with more than one parameter inside)....but it doesn't work...
Using only the first parameter (based on deptno (which is number), the p_where_clause is: p_where_clause := 'where (deptno in (' || replace (p_dep_2_param, '''') || '))';
it works perfectly....
Now I don't know if the problem is the datatype, but I noticed that with a single parameter (deptno is number), the lexical refence (inside the data template) works.....with a varchar parameter it doesn't work....
So my questions are these:
1) how can I define the p_where_clause (inside the package) with a single varchar parameter (for example, the department location name)
2) how can I define the p_where_clause using more than one parameter (for example, the department location name and the department name) not number.
Thanks in advance for any suggestion
Alex

Alex,
the missing thing in your example is the fact, that if only one value is selected, the parameter has exact this value like BOSTON. If you choose more than one value, the parameter includes the *'*, so that it looks like *'BOSTON','NEW YORK'*. So you need to check in the package, if there's a *,* in the parameter or not. If yes there's more than one value, if not it's only one value or it's null.
So change your package to (you need to expand your variables)
create or replace package bip_departments_2_parameters
as
p_dep_2_param varchar2(1000);
p_loc_1_param varchar2(1000);
p_where_clause varchar2(1000);
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean;
end bip_departments_2_parameters;
create or replace package body bip_departments_2_parameters
as
function beforereporttrigger
return boolean
is
l_return boolean := true;
begin
p_where_clause := ' ';
if p_dep_2_param is not null then
if instr(p_dep_2_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME in ('||p_dep_2_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := 'WHERE DNAME = '''||p_dep_2_param||'''';
end if;
if p_loc_1_param is not null then
if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC IN ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || ' AND LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
end if;
end if;
else
if p_loc_1_param is not null then
if instr(p_loc_1_param,',')>0 then
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC in ('||p_loc_1_param||')';
else
p_where_clause := p_where_clause || 'WHERE LOC = '''||p_loc_1_param||'''';
end if;
end if;
end if;
return (l_return);
end beforereporttrigger;
end bip_departments_2_parameters;
I've written a similar example at http://www.oracle.com/global/de/community/bip/tipps/Dynamische_Queries/index.html ... but it's in german.

Contribute Acting strange - template parameters with repeating regions

Basically what I'm trying to achieve is that there is a
repeating region on a page, and each region is supposed to
alternate colors. To achieve this, the regions with the colors are
put into a div which has a background color applied to it. To do
this, I have created two expressions, one to check to see if it's
an even numbered region, and if so, to open the div, and another to
close the div. That looks like this:
quote:

@@((_index & 1) ? shade : noshade )@@
stuff
@@((_index & 1) ? shadeend : noshade )@@

At the top, I have three template parameters to go along with
these:
quote:



Which look like this on the actual pages:
quote:



The odd thing is that, when I add an editable region,
something weird occurs with the template parameters and they end up
looking like this:
quote:
->

And that, of course, results in having a nice "->" showing
up at the top of my page. The repeating region appears to work. It
changes background colors just like it should, but I have no idea
why it's throwing in the "->" at the end.

For grins, try changing this -
<div id="content1" style="display:none">
to this (IN THE TEMPLATE FILE) -
<div id="content@@(_repeat._index)@@''
style="display:none">
(that should be a " character after the last @ sign - I had
to use two '
characters to keep the code from getting munged in my
newsreader)

Dreamweaver CC features such as Template Parameters

I have Dreamweaver CS6 and have not ventured onto the cloud yet. While looking up a question regarding syntax for Dreamweaver Template Parmeters, I noticed most of the documentation starts with the clause "The user interface has been simplified in Dreamweaver CC and later. As a result, you may not find some of the options described in this article in Dreamweaver CC and later." I found this expression even when I searched Creative Cloud specific support, e.g. see Dreamweaver Help | Using optional regions in templates. The link A Look at the Modernized Dreamweaver CC : Adobe Dreamweaver Team Blog is over a year old and no help.
How in the world do you find what features actually exist in Dreamweaver CC without buying it? Are Template Parameters still available? Has anyone successfully imported a Dreamweaver CS6 site that has Template Parameters to Dreamweaver CC? I found a PDF for Dreamweaver CC, (http://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/dreamweaver_reference.pdf) which seems to indicate Template Parameters are still supported, but I don't have a lot of faith in it based on previous experiences with Adobe documentation.
Thanks in advance.

Are Template Parameters still available?
Yes. Why do you want to use them? There are usually better ways to do things... Are you also using nested templates, by chance?
Has anyone successfully imported a Dreamweaver CS6 site that has Template Parameters to Dreamweaver CC?
There is no "import" to it. You just define a site in CC that points into the CS6 site's local root folder and you're ready to go.

Template parameters showing reverting to old data

Hi I added meta-data using template parameters. For some
reason DW reverted back to showing old meta-data on the page. When
I checked the template parameters fields it showed the latest
meta-data. it just had not been written to the page.
Is this a known bug?

Is that meta data in an editable region?

Use web template to open a report from a menu

Hi all,
I have created one web template where I have a role menu that shows all reports that are available to the user. When the user clicks on one of these reports, the report displays in a new window. So far everything is working fine.
But, I have also created another web template and I want the report that is displayed in a new window to use this template. How do I do this? I have been looking at the settings for the Role menu, but can't find anywhere to put the template name...
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks and regards,
Tove-Mette

Hello,
yes you can use the publish function, but only to add new entries.
In Transaction pfcg (not in WAD or BEx) in SAP GUI and then select your role at the tab "Menu" you can add/remove/maintain/organize your menu.
just click on a menu entry and take sth.like edit.
Then you will see a link if you didn#t find the string &template_id= the system will take the standard template (Tranaction spro), and you can easily add or change this parameter.
Hope that helps, please ask if you need further explanation.
Regards
Marcus

Is it possible to display a date as (DD-MON-YYYY) in excel output using excel template in xml publisher

I've tried to use hierarchy node variables, but it seems like you can't specify a attribute of the hierarchy such as level. So with the WBS hierarchy, if you create a hierarchy node variable, you specify the WBS value to select (If I understand this correctly). I wish I could instead specify "give me all the WBS nodes that happen to have the value of the level attribute greater or equal to 3. If I understand Juergens post, he is saying make security access so that only certain WBS levels can be returned in the query. I suppose we can try that, but that would then preclude getting the level 1 and 2 in the future if the authorization is global.

How can I use the templates in iPhoto to email my photos if I don't have a mobileMe account?

What do you mean by the AOL screen? Is AOL your ISP? If it is popping up to connect you to the internet that might be what is preventing you from composing an email. It also could be that AOL was set up as your default email client. Do you use AOL as an ISP/Email client?
In Mac OS X Lion (I can't vouch for any other version of Mac OS) to change your default mail viewer/client open up apple's mail app. Go to file->settings Under the general tab it's the top choice if it is set to AOL, you might want to switch it so you can get it to come up with the email you actually use. Also if you do use AOL, they should have a section in their help about setting up "pop3" email, or how to use AOL mail in outlook. Now the steps might not be the same as far as what menu choices you have to make, but what you're gonna get out of that section is incomming/out going server's and anything else like ports and etc. Apple's mail app needs all that same information.

How to use SET & GET Parameters in Module Pool

Hi Friends,
Can anyone please tell how to use SET / GET parameters and PARAMETER ID for a text box (Input / Output field ) in module pool? What is the purpose and where do we need to do coding for it?
Note : I will definitely give the marks for good responses.
Thanks in advance,
Pradeep

Hi Pradeep,
You can save values in the SAP memory using a parameter ID. These
are user and terminal-session specific, but available to all internal and
external sessions.
SET Parameter copies the corresponding field contents into the SAP
System memory in the PAI processing block.
GET Parameter copies the corresponding field contents from the SAP
memory at the end of the PBO processing block, after data has been
transferred from the program, if the screen field still has its initial value
You can link an input/output field to an area of the SAP memory in the
ABAP Dictionary.
When you use an input/output field that is defined in the ABAP
Dictionary, its parameter ID is displayed in the Dictionary attribute
Parameter ID in the Screen Painter.
Usage
SET PARAMETER ID: CAR FIELD space,
CON FIELD space,
DAY FIELD space.
Here is the link that explains the usage of GET/SET in detail

How to use a Template in reports as in Forms ?

Goal:
I need to use reuse a common code in all of my reports.
Current scenario:
I need to display Report title, database name and report REP file name in the header of each report. So if I change at one place it should be reflected at all he places I refer this code.
P.S. I have a table which stores report file name and title in report.
Questions:
1) Is there a way to know the REP file name in the report like we have in the form GET_FORM_PROPERTY ?
(Because once I know the rep file name I can search in my table to fetch the description, as I don't want
to hard-code the REP name anywhere in the code)
2) Getting the database name is not a problem, I can always query v$database or v$instance to get the db name.
2) Where can I put this code so that I can refer the same code in all the reports, like the way we do it in
the forms (by subclassing an object or object group from Template or a common form to individual form).
Thanks
Mehar

Thanks very much. Get_Report_name works.
But I have an additional problem:
The changes I make in the template, are not getting reflected in the report based on the template i.e. There is no more reference once I make a report based on the template unlike in forms where I can "keep the path" while subclassing any object from one form to another.
Is it the default bahaviour of using the template ? Or do I need to do something else ?
Thanks again,
Mehar
