Webcenter page template design

I am new to webcenter .. I have couple of question regarding page template . I have 2 column layout (one for navigation) other for content. In content are I have at staring time 5 remote portlet . on click of any of this portlet it will open one detail portlet in content area. All the portlet is static, I mean user will not be allowed to customize how page looks.
I have couple of question regarding design of this page.
1)     How can I add many portlet to one facet.
2)     If I have created facet for 5 portlet using panel stretch layout can I set height and width of each facet or portlet.
3)     Should I create 2 different layout one for 5 potlet content page one for one detail content page
Please help me with this..

1) In page template, you can use panelcustomizable component in ADF to customize the page at run time:
Useful links:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/webcenter.1111/e10273/page.htm#BABCEBEE
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16340_01/apirefs.1111/e10692/oracle/adf/view/core/component/customizable/PanelCustomizable.html
2) well, the first option seems better to avoid more facets.
3) Different layouts depends on ur requirements, if there is need of master and detail portlets to be shown at once with other remaining portlets than you need not to create separate,
otherwise yes you should create different layouts for readability purpose.

Customising Webcenter Spaces Page Templates - "Import Portal Resource" N/A

Hi,
I am attempting to customise a Page Template for Webcenter Spaces, and I am trying to do so in JDeveloper.
I have successfully opened the WebCenterSpacesResources project in JDeveloper, and also successfully downloaded the page template resource (.ear file).
I am now trying to import this webcenter spaces resource (page template) into the project, as described in this step:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E21764_01/webcenter.1111/e10148/jpsdg_wcsres.htm#CIHJFGJI
The problem is, the "*Import Portal Resource*" option does not appear in the menu when I right-click on WebCenterSpacesResources project.
I am using JDeveloper version 11.1.1.5.0.
I have also downloaded and installed WebCenter Framework and Services Design Time extension.
Any reason why I cannot see this option?
Amanda.

Hi,
I have installed both of the extensions, but I went to:
http://www.oracle.com/ocom/groups/public/@otn/documents/webcontent/156082.xml#oracle.webcenter.cust
and dowloaded both (latest):
WebCenter Framework and Services Design Time
WebCenter Customization Framework Design Time
and then installed them manually in my JDeveloper.
I have restarted and the option still does not appear:
http://oi52.tinypic.com/13yo02b.jpg
How do I know that the extensions are installed? They seem to be when I look at the Help > About > Extensions
http://oi51.tinypic.com/244xylh.jpg
I have tried this with versions 11.1.1.5 and 11.1.1.4.

Page designer show small view when using page template and cannot be run

Dear Experts,
I need to make some page templates.
I have build 2 simple page templates, let say template0 & template1 which template1 using template0.
It show no any problem until I close my Jdeveloper & reopen it.
When I reopen template1, it show so small in designer (Jdeveloper window).
Is there any wrong?
I have build another template, just 1 template.
When I used it at the first time, no any strange behavior occur.
After ... (I don't exactly when), it give me the same view in my designer.
Then I force to use my first tempate (template1 which used template0 inside), I cannot run my application at all.
After wait several minutes, I found error log in my log messages.
*#### Server Instance DefaultServer could not be started: Server Instance was terminated.*
Above the message, I found another error messages:
*Jun 7, 2009 5:40:19 PM ComponentMetadataHandler _error*
WARNING: error parsing component tag in file: null/tag:xmlContent/id:dte_160d74a
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: <Line 69, Column 7>: XML-20100: (Fatal Error) Expected 'EOF'.
* at oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLError.flushErrorHandler(XMLError.java:422)*
Is there anyone that can help me to find out why this error occured?
Should I raise this problem to metalink or just can post it in this forum?
Many thanks for your supporting...
N.B: Below I attach my template0 (AHM000.jspx) and template1 (AHM001.jspx)

Hi...
Thanks for asking....
As I put in my post before, I include template0 in my template1, as seen in template1 (AHM001):
<af:pageTemplateDef var="attrs">
*<af:pageTemplate viewId="/template/AHM000.jspx">*
I use AHM000 inside AHM001. I use this approach to build many template based on one basic design.
Actually, I don't think the problem is in page template usage because as I submitted paralel to Metalink, I've already not called template0 in template1 but I copy template0's contents to template1.
Unfortunately, page designer show small view and below error messages still occured.
*Jun 7, 2009 10:25:20 PM ComponentMetadataHandler _error*
WARNING: error parsing component tag in file: /AhmTestTemplate-ViewController1-context-root/template/AHM001.jspx/tag:xmlContent/id:null

Fortunately my application can be run already altough the error message still logged.

Problem with af:resource in Page Template of Custom WebCenter Portal

According to the WebCenter Developers Guide in a bullet point just before section 11.2.4, I am supposed to be able to use a af:resource tag to include a custom css or js file within my page template. I am trying to do exactly that with a custom css and jquery js file that I have put into the shared folder of my custom portal implementation of JDeveloper. However, whenever I deploy my project and bring up a page using this page template, Firebug shows that it cannot find the file specified.
I try going directly to the files and get a 404.
I then check the security policy of the files and they are showing as having the default security policy, so I am not completely sure why this is not working.
The user that I am logging in as is part of a custom role, but I didn't think that that would have anything to do with files that are stored in the shared folder.
I did also make sure to Create Portal resources out of each file, but that didn't help either.
Any thoughts?

I created fair amount of portal with custom javascript and css and I didn't seem to find any of that...
What WebCenter Portal version do you use?

Creating a New ADF Page Template

-- I posted this in the WebCenter forum but since it is primarily around ADF I thought I would post here also
-- Extending WebCenter Spaces 11.1.1.3: Creating New Page Template w/Float Div
Hi all,
I am attempting to create a new group space page template for Spaces that has a floating div on the right side that will have content wrap around it. It should look similar in concept to the image in this link:
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/tutorial0104.htm
This seems like it should be simple enough but I need to allow dynamic content to be added each region with Oracle Composer. Currently when I am testing this and add content the two regions end up in distinct columns. This appears to be a result of the html elements that get wrapped around the content by the ADF tags. Has anyone successfully created a page template / page similar to this or have any ideas on how I might get it to work? Below is the current code I am using:

Hi ,
I understand that you want to be able to select content type when creating a wiki page to a Wiki Page library. In browser ,you cannot add content types to a wiki page library .You need to edit the library in SharePoint Designer.
Open the site in SharePoint Designer.
Click on the library. Check ‘Allow management of content types’ in the Settings section.
Then you can add content types to this page library.
Then you can add content types in the Site Content Types gallery which inherit from the Wiki Content type.
Add the newly added content type to the Wiki Page Library.
In this way ,when you add a new page in the Wiki Page library ,you can choose a different content type .
Edit the content type in Library Settings .Choose Advanced Settings for the content type .Here you can upload new page for the content type .
Thanks,

How to code a Psd file for page template in DW to upload in bc

Hi everyone. I was wondering. I have a psd file that I created that is my page template for my website. All the menus are on there, most of the content, and fancy designs. I've imported the psd in DW. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to code it or where I could find a link to learn or follow the precedures to code a standard page template? I would really appreciate it! thanks

Hello Pierre,
Seeing that you are familiar with Photoshop, but not with Dreamweaver I assumed you are a designer. If my assumption is not correct, the rest of the message does not apply.
You could try Adobe Muse for your task. Its purpose is to aid designers create HTML websites without writing code.
Here's the product page (it is already free if you subscribed to Creative Cloud): http://www.adobe.com/products/muse.html
And here is a tutorial explaining what you wanted to achieve: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/creative-suite-podcast-designers/how-to-use-photoshop-files-in-y our-muse-website/
I hope that helps.
Best regards,

How to set a page template for news detailed view?

Is there a way to set a page template for the detailed view of the news module?
I have a page template setup and added the {module_announcement,,,,,} to the page. When the news item is clicked it always opens the default template - is this how it is designed to work or is there a way I can specify it to use a different page template?
Dave.

Hey Dave, See the image below:

Adding Saved Searches task flow to a Page Template

I am trying to add the Spaces "Saved Searches" task flow to my custom page template. I have tried a few different approaches and none seem to be working.
First, I tried simply dragging and dropping the task flow from JDeveloper's Resource Palette into my template. JDeveloper created added the following to my template source code:
+<af:region value="#{bindings.allsavedsearches1.regionModel}" id="pt_r1"/>+
After uploading the changes to Spaces, there seemed to be no change to the rendered template.
Second, I tried to simply add the task flow to a page in my test space via composer. However, as soon as I click the "Add" button next to the Saved Searches task flow, the page goes blank (white screen of death) and the following message shows up in the spaces error logs:
javax.servlet.ServletException: com.sun.el.parser.ParseException: Encountered "\'" at line 1, column 65.
Finally, I looked at how the out of the box templates implement the saved searches functionality. It appears that the saved searches use a custom folder in the Default Navigation Model. I looked at the source in the Default Navigation Model and found the following node:
+<customFolder factoryClass="oracle.webcenter.search.view.rc.SearchServiceContextFactory" id="savedSearchesFolder" visible="true">+
+<attributes resourceBundle="oracle.webcenter.webcenterapp.resource.WebCenterResourceBundle">+
+<attribute attributeId="Description" isKey="true" resourceBundle="oracle.webcenter.webcenterapp.resource.WebCenterResourceBundle" value="NAV_APPLICATIONS_CUST_FOLDER_SEARCHES.DESCRIPTION"/>+
+<attribute attributeId="IconURI" value="/adf/webcenter/foldersavedsearches_qualifier.png"/>+
+<attribute attributeId="Title" isKey="true" resourceBundle="oracle.webcenter.webcenterapp.resource.WebCenterResourceBundle" value="NAV_APPLICATIONS_CUST_FOLDER_SEARCHES.TITLE"/>+
+<attribute attributeId="WEBCENTER_SERVICE_ID" value="oracle.webcenter.search"/>+
+</attributes>+
+</customFolder>+
I copied the entire node and put it in my navigation model. Upon rendering the template, I can see the new node in the navigation but when I click on it, nothing happens.
Can someone please tell me if I am on the right track with any of these three approaches? Or where to look to diagnose the issues I am running into?
Thanks,
Joe

UPDATE: I updated the "activation" property in the page def for the allsavedsearches task flow to be "deferred". Now I am getting an ADF popup menu with two menu items: "My Searches" and "Other Members" but clicking on the items does not trigger anything...
Any thoughts? What additional information would be helpful for analyzing this issue?

How to change the image of af:activeImage, in a Page Template, on click

Hello,
I am using jdeveloper 11g.
I designed a page template that contains a <af:activeImage> component. I use this component with <af:showPopupBehaviour> to show a popup when it is clicked.
I want to change the image of <af:avtiveImage> when it is clicked at the runtime. Is it possible to do this in a page template? How can I do this?
Thanks in advance,

Substitution strings are meant to be static, like global constants.
If you need some variable stuff, use application level items and set them using Application level computations/processes

Can I have data from Numbers automated to embed to Pages template?

I am creating both a database and a document resource for a large archival project. I would like to know if there is a means to enter the data into a spread sheet in Numbers and them import each of the cells into a separate window in Pages.
For example, I would have cells for contact info. Could I automate a Pages template to import that data into a window?
The Pages documents would be a newsletter design to present the data of each person as a visually accessible version of the data.
Some of the data would be:
Current contact info.
years at a location
yes/no answers to some basic questions.
etc.
Other items in the Pages document would be imported directly - ie photos, etc.

That is called a merge.
Pages can merge data from both Numbers' tables and from AddressBook.
Of the two AddressBook is usually less difficult, but obviously has less ability to create custom fields.
You create the merge fields inside Pages with Menu > Insert > Merge Field > select which data and then use the Link Inspector to tell it which Application, document and what fields to merge from.
You can not merge images and Pages merges will not do multiple merges per page eg if you have a set of data for Tom Jones and another for John Smith Pages will generate separate pages for each.
You can have multiple references to Tom Jones on the same page, but not to both Tom Jones and John Smith. There are ways around this but it is a bit clumsy.

Pages Template help (placeholder on every page).

Hi,
I have this problem with using the Pages template for writing a Resume. Namely when I place my photo in a placeholder, it is also present on every following page. And I don't know how to remove it so that it stays on the first page only.
Plz help

SonyBoy,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
The reason your photo (or even the placeholder photo) will repeat on every page is because it's been defined as a master object. Master objects are designed to repeat like that. To change it to a normal photo, select it, then click on Format > Advanced > Move Object to Page. After that, it shouldn't repeat.

Edit Page Group Properties, Configure, locate the Default Page Template drop list.
The drop list has only the templates from the shared object page group.
The online help states
=======
Choose the page template to apply to new pages in this page group if the page designer does not explicitly choose one.
Note: This list includes all the page templates in this page group and the shared objects page group.
========
I have several templates in this page group. Why don't they show in this drop list?

You have to make the templates public. Edit the template properties - on the Main tab click "Make Public".

If yes, the how will src refer to webcenter backing URL parameter ? ( like binding ...............)

The idea stays the same in WebCenter. The technique i have described above does not change when you use ADF portlets.
There are only a few steps required:
1) Create the parameter in portlet.xml
2) assign the parameter to your portlet (also in portlet.xml)
3) deploy portlet
4) create a page parameter in webcenter on the page you are dropping the portlet on
5) assign the page parameter to the value of the portlet parameter
That's it.
Notice that the link in the above post of me (from 2010) is about JSR 168 portlets. Since WebCenter PS3, webcenter supports JSR 286 and some things change like you do not need to create the parameter in the oracle-portlet.xml anymore. You can easily do this in the portlet.xml
