What's up with DW templates?

I've been using DW for a long time, but I've never really used templates; I've always created my pages from scratch and I kinda get the idea that templates are for those who are new to DW and don't know how to structure a page or write HTML. Is this the case, or are there legitimate reasons for using templates? I ask because I'm helping someone with their site and they've done it with a template and there are absolutely positioned divs all over the place. It looks exactly like they laid it out for print in InDesign, and I don't think it's fixable. Thanks!

No, not at all. Templates are a device used to ease site maintenance and have nothing to do with the layout or markup on the page. You create a template and then derive child pages from it. Then, when you make a change to the non editable region of the template, the changes propagate to the child pages.

This is just bad technique and has absolutely nothing to do with DW templates.

What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion?

What is happening with quote substitution in Mail since Mountain Lion? Now, whenever I type an apostrophe and it's replaced with a smart quote, it creates an unwanted space within my word and starts typing from there. It will also revert the font from my template style to helvetica. Annoying as heck! Any thoughts? Turning off smart quote substition in Mail elimates the error, but elimates the smart qoute, too. I'm stumped.

Corrupt document gets created in document library with document template using createlistitem workflowaction in visual studio workflow for office 365 solution

Hi,
My requirement is to create a document library associated to a custom content type with a document template associated. Also I need to create a document based on the template in this document library when a new item is created in another list by taking the
reference ID of that new Item , I need to create the document with the name appended by ID. I need to do all this deployment using WSP.
I have created document library with document template associated to content type by following instructions in below stated blog :http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chaks/archive/2011/05/19/deploying-a-document-template-file-in-content-type-in-a-office365-sandboxed-solution.aspx
This works perfect for me.
However, there are few observations, when going to Document Library > Library Settings > Advanced Settings > Document Template section - doesnt shows the Edit template link. When tried to look at the value for the document template using view source
, it is giving me /Lists/MyDocsListInstance/Forms/template.dotx instead of the actual template file uploaded.
Ignoring the above observation, when I am trying to create a sandbox based workflow in visual studio to create document in document library when new item is created in another list, I provide the ContentTypeID as the ID associated with the document library
with template.
It creates the corrupt document at end of workflow.
I have tried using .docx instead of .dotx files for workflow as per solution provided in some of the post but it isnt resolving my issue.
Any help is much appreciated.

Krutika

OK, I am going to throw out a lot of ideas here so hopefully they get you closer to a diagnosis. Hang on :)
Does it happen to work for some users but not others? If so, try logging in on the "good" computer with the "bad" username. This will tell you if the problem is related to the end-user's system. Also, once the user downloads a document
successfully can they open and work on it in Word? Also, does the document library have any custom content types associated with it or does it just use 'Document'?
I notice that there are other folks on the web that have run into this same problem and the similarity seems to be that they are either on SharePoint 2007 or have upgraded from 2007. Did this doc library start out as a 2007 library?
What you might want to do is this: Make a site collection from scratch in 2013 (or find one that you know was created in 2013). Choose team site (or whatever you want) for the root web and set up the security the same way you have it on the malfunctioning
library. Now, use windows explorer to copy and paste some of the documents to the new location. Be sure you recreate any needed content types. Now test it from the troubled user's computer.
I'm thinking there may be something that is different about the library since it was migrated through various versions and updates since 2007. I've sometimes found that there can be problems (especially with user profiles but that's a different story) with
things that go through this evolution.

What to do with js, css files

I hope this question is appropriate for this forum because I have scratched my head for hrs. I am in the mission of finding a simple drop down menu and came across to this site http://css-tricks.com/simple-jquery-dropdowns/
It uses minimum jquery and CSS to achieve it. Looks like it is reasonable for a novice to tackle. Codes are downloaded and unzipped ( there are css,images,js). Question is how do I even get this to run under my test application ? I would think I need to import the image files but what to do with the rest of files? they are not plugin. Could any guru give me a jump start ?
Any help is appreciated.
ZenG

You should be able to import them into APEX under "Shared Components - Static Files" and "Shared Components - CSS". Then you can include the files in your page template using the following html code:
for js files
<script src="#APP_IMAGES#hoverIntent.js"></script>for css files
<link rel="stylesheet" href="#APP_IMAGES#style.css" type="text/css" />After a quick glance, I don't think you'll need the image they have included.

Why Does Live View In DW Not Work With BC Template?

The live view using a BC template in DW CS6 shows "PAGE NOT FOUND" in the body section but the header and footer look fine. I should also point out that the index.htm page works fine, it's just the other pages that have this problem. What makes it weirder is that the site works fine in all other modes including when viewing in a normal browser, it's ONLY when in live view! I also noticed that if I delete the .htm extension in the url in the DW browser when in Live View it fixes the problem, but this requires me to do this everytime I want to switch to live view and surely is either a problem with how the BC template files are named or DW CS6 is buggy? Hopefully this is an easy one to answer??

What is the problem?

It's hard to say: what's your request timeout set to?
700-odd records is not much of a fetch for a decent DB, and I would not expect that to case the problem. But then you're using Access which doesn't fit the description of "decent DB" (or "fit for purpose" or "intended for purpose"), so I guess all bets are off one that one. If this query is slow when ONE request is asking for it, what is going to happen when it goes live and multiple requests are asking for it, along with all the other queries your site will want to run? Access is not designed for this. It will really struggle, and cause your site to run like a dog. One that died serveral weeks ago.
What else is on the template? I presume you're doing something with the query once you fetch it, so could it be that code that's running slowly? Have you taken any steps to isolate which part of the code is taking so long?
How does the query perform if you take the subquery out of the select line? Is there any other way of getting that data? What subquery will be running once for every row of the result set... not very nice.

Hi Gurus
I have an issue wiht report template in EHS. When i go to CG42 i tried to search for a report template no entries found. But if you F4 in template field there are templates getting displayed. If i select template and enter again, it says no object available. Looks like weird. Template is very well available in system. If you have this issue please guide me to correct the situation. Also can you please let us know what is the table to check report templates.
Regards

File with path - Character standard
<path on application server>:\BP_PH_EHS_MSDS.DAT MS-NT
<path on application server>:\BP_PH_EHS_COVERL.DAT MS-NT

Crop a background image (movie) - working with a template

I'm working with the template "Promo > Product Shot". The image block with the bike is what I want to replace with my own video clip.
I can't figure out how to replace it, so I took the video clip and "placed" it. That's all fine, but now I want the size of the video clip to match the size of the bike block. I can scale it down to get close but then I'd have to crop the sides to get the vertical block shape.
Can't figure out how to do this either. Is it even possible?
Thank you very much,
Eric P

Thank you for the speedy reply.
I played with that tab a little but didn't understand exactly what it was so I never followed through with it.
I did follow your steps, but nothing happened. Perhaps there is something I have to do after selecting the movie?
Thank you,
Eric

Problems with missing template handler

Hello,
We have put the name testmiss.cfm in the missing template
handler in the administrator. Still, the default ColdFusion error
message shows when a cfinclude has template=a nonexisting file and
when in an html form,
action=a nonexisting cfm file. I have testmiss.cfm in both
the root with Application.cfm and the directory with all the other
cfms but still no luck.
Any idea what we are doing wrong?
Thank you very much.

Is the 'misscfm.cfm' file somewhere in the
'd:\wSites\GBMain\html\CFMS\'
directory. I will presume this is the 'web root' as defined
in your web
server (IIS or Apache or built-in or ???). The missing
template handler
file needs to be in the ColdFusion root. This is going to be
a
directory such as
'{drive}:\JRun4\servers\{server}\cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\misscfm.cfm'
for J2EE flavors OR '{drive}:\CFusionMX\wwwroot' for Standard
I think.
It has been a very long time since I have dealt with
Standard.
This is probably completely different from the above web
root. That is
the point I am trying to get across. ColdFusion has TWO roots
where it
will look for a CFML file. But the Missing and Sitewide
templates can
only be in the ColdFusion root listed above, they will not
work in the
web root.

IMO opendns is either doing this on purpose (unlikely) or they're under some sort of attack/being used to attack the specific torrent sites although I'm open to other explanations.

Performance Appraisal-Issue with Restrcited template

Hello
I am trying to prepare appraisal document via tcode PHAP_PREPARE_PA. The system proposes three options:
- Prepare Appraisal Docs with Template, Appraiser, Appraisee
- Prepare Appraisal Docs with Organizational Units
- Prepare Appraisal Docs with Restricted Templates
Questions:
Q1 What is the difference between 2 and 3 above?
Q2 Is there any documentation that explains each option in detail?
Q3 Is there a place where we configure the evaluation path each option takes?
Q4 When I use the option "Prepare Appraisal Docs with Restricted Templates" and select the org unit/appraisal template, I get the following message:
Object 01 VA 99912314 not found
Message no. HRHAP00_TEMPLATE007
What am I missing? Your timely assistance would be immensely helpful.
Many thanks in advance,

Q 1 & Q 2 :
From SAP Help -
Prepare appraisal documents using wizard (Template,Appraiser, Appraisee)

1.      Call the Prepare Appraisal Documents transaction.
2.      Click on the Prepare Appraisal Documents with Template, Apper, Appee link.
3.      The wizard is started and it guides you through all the steps you need to prepare appraisal documents with the appropriate appraiser/appraisee combinations.
