Creating APEX bookmarks to pages

Hello,
I have an APEX application with many forms, so I'm trying to create a "bookmark this page" function for my users..something that inserts the pageID into a "favorites" table, along with the appuserID, that sort-of thing.
I've got a prototype working by putting a button on a page that says "Bookmark this page," but I don't want to have to repeat that on every page. I've been scanning Google and this forum for advice on how to do this, but haven't found how to set this up - I was thinking perhaps I could add an item to the standard NavBar labeled "bookmark" which could call a JavaScript and insert pageID:appuser into my favorites table, but haven't worked this out.
Any ideas?

Hi and thanks for the reply.
I'm a bit familiar with Page0. I figured placing an item on that page to create a bookmark (of the current "real" page the user is viewing) would probably end up creating bookmarks to Page0, but I'll do some testing. I've had trouble creating items on Page0 before because of their special status, but I do already use Page0 in my app for some generic stuff (Welcome User || Logout, etc).
I am not familar with the on-demand application process, so I'll do some reading on that. My thought on the NavBar was to link to "location" as an URL, and the URL would really be a JavaScript stored in APEX and JavaScript would somehow get the user's current page (I'm looking throught the flows_0x0000.tables to see if any thing can be gleaned from that as well).
Hate to reinvent the wheel though if someone's already created this sort-of "bookmark" / "favorite places" component.

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*In Firefox 29.0 and above, click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
*In previous Firefox versions, click on the Firefox button at the top left of the Firefox window and click on ''Help'' (or click on ''Help'' in the Menu bar, if you don't have a Firefox button) then click on ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".
:[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, theme, or hardware acceleration. Please follow the steps in the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''

Creating APEX pages via SQL scripts..

Hi Guys,
I want to create APEX pages via SQL Script. The main reason to have this option that I have couple of applications which has XML files for screen definition where I can read all screen properties (field types, sizes, caption, etc...)
Is there any documentation or help stuff where I can find the APEX page definition tables? I found something like WWV tables but I couldnt figure it out properly...
Any help ?
Thanks,
Osman...

We have built our entire apex app in a similar way. We create the shell apex pages using apex (eg, Item Detail, Insert Item, etc.). Then we create a PL/SQL region on the page. The PL/SQL region simply calls a stored procedure to render the controls on the page. For example, our regions looks similar to this:
begin
apex_pkg.sp_render_page('ITEM_DETAIL',Param1,Param2,Param3);
end;
The sp_render_page procedure in the database generates the appropriate HTML for the page. This procedure reads meta data in the database (eg, field label, field size, field type, field position, etc.) and renders the same HTML that apex would render if the apex page was manually created. For example, in the procedure we use lines similar to these:
HTP.p(apex_item.text(...))
HTP.p(apex_item.select_list_from_query(...))
Because the procedure is reading meta data, the apex page is dynamic and can be different for different users or clients.

I can create folders, but when I try to bookmark a page those folders don't show.

I have created a folder in my bookmark tab, and moved bookmarks into it. When I bookmark a site that I want to have in that folder, I have to create it, then manually move it into the folder since none of my "custom" folders appear when I create the bookmark.

Ok, I made a new profile (successful since I had none of my bookmarks etc). I clicked on Bookmarks and then right clicked to make a new folder (Test). Then I went to bookmark the open page and the folder named Test was not there. So I chose the option for New Folder and created Test 2. I then placed the bookmark in that folder. When I then open Bookmarks from the toolbar Test was there but not Test 2. When I click Bookmark This Page, I can see Test 2 as an option below Choose...
I hope that makes sense.

English dictionary in csv format to create Apex page

Hello,
Im looking for a Free English dictionary in csv format that I can use to load into Apex as a page.
Ive Googled and have seen many links for such, but many of the links are now invalid, or the file is not free, or the file is not in a csv format.
Has anyone implemented such a feature and could lead me to an actual site where I can download the file.
Thanks,
Laura

Thanks for the tip.... I was able to access the file, but it has too many non-common words ex. ( ABFM, abl. abn, ABSBH, etc....)

How can I bookmark a page without using the stupid star?

I have used Firefox since the days of Netscape. Now what used to be easy now becomes more like M$ products. I want to get rid of that stupid star that makes things more confusing by placing bookmarks in a generic 'Unsorted Bookmarks' folder that requires further attention to sort my bookmarks when before I did it all at the time that I created the bookmark with 'bookmark this page'. I understand that clicking on the blue star again will bring up the bookmark properties, this is just an inconvenience, adding time wasted. I would like my bookmarks to be like they were in the previous version of Firefox.

Shortcuts are everything nowadays!

How do I change back to having "bookmark this page" on the top of the list and subordinate "all bookmarks" lower since I use former 100 times more than the later on a daily basis?

I create about 25 -50 new bookmarks daily for my business. So, it would seem user friendly to put that command at the top of the scroll down list. Maybe I am unique and others want to "show all bookmarks" repeatedly. I can't understand why one would need to do that more often than add multiple bookmarks on a daily basis. i look forward to your response,. Respectfully MC

cor-el, as you said, that solution puts the "show all bookmarks" all the way at the bottom. How do you either make "bookmark this page" first without changing the order of the other options or force "show all bookmarks" to be second instead of last, the way the menu was before?

How can I create more than 1 page?

How can I create a document that is several pages. When I get to the bottom the text diappears.

Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or Alt+B to open the Bookmarks menu and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
* "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
* "Bookmark This Page" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of that browser page.
* "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

The bookmarks in my drop-down menu do not appear when I try to "organize bookmarks". When I try to bookmark a page, the folders in the drop-down menu do not appear as choices.

The trouble started when I transferred applications from my old computer. When I click "bookmarks", all my bookmarks are there. When I try to "Organize Bookmarks", it acts like I have no bookmarks. When I try to "Bookmark this page", it does not show all the folders that are in the drop-down menu. There are a number of bookmark files in the appdata\mozilla\firefox\profiles area, none of which are complete. I tried a backup and restore in the organize menu and a backup was created, but I don't know what was backed up. I suspect nothing was backed up. When I clicked a restore, nothing happened.

I'm not familiar with Windows 7, but... is it possible there is a permissions problem with your profile folder, or read-only set on any database files?

Is it possible to create APEX user in background?

Hi experts,
I have a page to create new user with the following items in an application:
P1_USER_ID
P1_EMAIL
P1_PASSWORD
It is using Automatic Row Processing (DML) to insert these to PEOPLE table.
When submit it above in the same time, I would like to create APEX's user using the values which are specified on it above.
I think that I can use APEX_UTIL.CREATE_USER, but the user who log into the current application with APEX authentication does not have admin privilege. I guess that the operation might fail. Correct?
Or, is it possible to create APEX user without admin privs if it is background?
Thanks in advance,
Rui

Hello,
>> but the user who log into the current application with APEX authentication does not have admin privilege. I guess that the operation might fail. Correct?
Yes, correct. To execute APEX_UTIL.CREATE_USER, the current user must have administrative privileges - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/appdev.310/e10499/api.htm#BABCFBGG .
>> Or, is it possible to create APEX user without admin privs if it is background?
I don’t see the relevance of a background process, in this context. The admin privileges demand is there to prevent un-authorized users to open new users, without any control. It seems to me like a recipe for chaos to allow every user to define new users in the application.

Arie.

How do I create a bookmark in two different pdfs?

How do I create a bookmark in two different pdfs

Provided you only want to go one way, you can change a bookmark to fire the "open a file" action. I 'm not sure you entirely understand the terminology though - bookmarks in a PDF file appear on the left side panel and usually take you to a defined page in the current document. They are not part of the page and so don't change as you move through the file. Links are regions on a particular page that act as click points, and can do pretty much anything (move to a different page, open a file, etc.). Although you can use bookmarks to do something other than switch pages, it's very rare to do so and won't necessarily be supported by third-party software (or obvious to your users).
If you want to create a bookmark to another document, and both files are going to be distributed together (in the same folder) then you can create a new bookmark (doesn't matter where in the source file you are..) then select it and from the options menu choose Properties. Switch to the Actions tab and delete the "go to a page" entry, then from the dropdown list choose "Open a file" and browse to your destination document.
If your destination file is an attachment to your source file, you should use the "Go to page view" action, and when the tiny dialog box appears you should open the attachment, then click the OK button.

How can I make a button in Muse that bookmarks the page the user is on?

I want visitors to be able to push a button that bookmarks the specific page in their web browser. Is this possible in Muse? Or do I have to use third-party code?

Hi
As pnoypie has suggested , you can use html for this.
You can directly insert the html which would create a link to bookmark on page or insert the html inside button widget and define states.
Here is an example :
