ADF skins or Trinidad?

Hi,
Just wanted to know the pros and cons of using one over the other.
I'm creating a Webcenter application usng adf faces and Jdeveloper.
Thanks,
Inder

Inder,
You're already using ADF Faces, so it seems you would be using ADF Faces skins? Trinidad skins are skins for trinidad components. ADF Faces 11g is built on Trinidad, which is where the confusion may arise.
But simply, if you're using ADF Faces components, you want ADF skin.

Working with WebCenter Portal & ADF Skin Editor Together

Hi all.
I want to ask to webcenter community developers about the best practice to work with ADF Skin Editor for WebCenter Apps.
I usually deployed my ADF Skin JAR Libraries as Shared Libs and consumed them from pure ADF Applications without problems.
However, in WebCenter Portal Framework Applications resources are readed at MDS Path: /oracle/webcenter/portalapp/skins/... (like portal-skin.css) or at the shared lib called oracle.webcenter.skin
My objetive is to provide more Skin's to WebCenter Portal Application from ADF JAR Librarys created by ADF Skin Editor and be selectable (like /oracle/webcenter/portalapp/skins/... resources) in Runtime in Administration page.
How can i achieve it easly? (Please don't provide off doc, i read it).
Have i to override SkinPhaseListener of WebCenter to read from another locations?.
Thanks.

Hi.
Finally for WebCenter Portal Applications we are using ADF Skin Editor as support to skin ADF Components.
When we've got our skin defined in ADF Skin Editor then copy to CSS file under MDS folder (/oracle/webcenter/portalapp...) and create a Portal Resource of it.
If you want to deploy your ADF Skins as Shared Libs or included directly to WebCenter Portal App as ADF JAR Library then you'll see that they don't appear at Runtime to be selectable in admin page.
If you want these skins be selectable at runtime you have to register them in generic-resources.xml manually.
PD: Setting trinidad skins at "FINEST" level debug you can see what trinidad-skins is WebCenter loading.
I hope this help you.
PD: Your problem is little different because you are in WebCenter Spaces.
Regards.

ADF Skin commandButton background color

HI I use Jdev 11.1.2.3.0 I want to change the color of a commandButton I used:
af|commandButton {color: orange;
background-image: none;
background-color:green;
in (http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/faces/components/skinningKeys/commandButton.jspx)
and followed this tutorial (https://blogs.oracle.com/shay/entry/styling_specific_adf_components_with)
as shown in this picture (http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/7456/avc8.png)
the icon button gets colored but not the actual commandButton obviously is not shown when I run it.
My skin code:
af|commandButton
background-image: none;
background-color: Fuchsia;

A: ADF Skin commandButton background color

Yeah, that skin selector will apply to all buttons with those classes. If you need to limit the styling based on EL, I would do something like this
styleClass="#{condition ? 'trueClass' : 'falseClass'}"
and in the skin this should be specific enough
af|commandButton.trueClass {}
If not, you would have to do something like this, but not 100% sure if that dot shouldn't have a space before it or be a colon possibly off the top of my head
af|commandButton:text-only.trueClass

Hi,
if the application had a skin before, make sure that the browser cache is cleared before running the new skin. You don't provide any configuration description, so my advise is to look at the SRDemo application for configuration examples. This can be downloaded via help--> check for Updates in JDeveloper

ADF Skinning/template - how.

Hi All,
I'm developing a few ADF pages(Jdev 11g) that will be deployed in WLS 10.3. I need all the pages to have the corporate skin/template. Can anyone point me towards a tutorial that may show how it's done?
Many thanks,
Preethi.

With the links suggested, you will be to enable your application for skinning.
For specific components, you would require to refer
1) ADF Skinning Selectors Documentation:
http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/docs/skin-selectors.html
2) ADF Rich Faces Client Demo for skinning:

Problem with css reload (custom adf skin)

I have defined a custom skin but changes in the css does not immediately show in the page. I have not figured out what triggers a rreload of the css. When I delete the generated css from the embedded OC4J a new one i immediately created but with the old values.

Hello,
This depends on the version of ADF your using.
If its 10G, as far as I know, changes will only get picked up after a redeploy and even then you need to force the browser to re download the css (using a force refresh, shift + F5 or the refresh key normally)
If its 11G, the redeploy should not be needed as long as you force a browser refresh.
As long as the previously mentioned context parameter is present:
<context-param>
    <description>If this parameter is true, there will be an automatic check of the modification date of your JSPs, and saved state will be discarded when JSP's change. It will also automatically check if your skinning css files have changed without you having to restart the server. This makes development easier, but adds overhead. For this reason this parameter should be set to false when your application is deployed.</description>
    <param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.CHECK_FILE_MODIFICATION</param-name>
    <param-value>true</param-value>
</context-param>-Anton

Choosing adf skinning programmatically

Hey guys,
In my ViewController project, I have several skins defined in trinidad-skins.xml.
I have created the skins files in a separate way, and these are working fine.
The thing is, I have to choose in a programatically way, which skin I will use for each use case, before I enter in the use case page.
For this purpose, I have a Managed Bean with a String property. When I browse for an use-case there's a invoked method bean in my task-flow which is responsible for setting the appropriate skin.
Everything is working fine until here. The problem is the adf fragment page (jsff) loaded after the invoked mbean method, it is showing the last choose skinning. If I refresh my web browser (F5), the skinning is refreshed.
It seems to be that ADF task-flow is keeping the skinning in cache or something like that. Anyone could help me?

Hi,
your application needs to re-direct after applying a new skin. This means that instead of a bounded task flow you set the skin on the parent page and then redirect to the same view id. This will make the screen flicker once but this is how skinning gets applied

How to implement adf skins in JDeveloper 11g

How to integrate CSS in ADF using JDeveloper 11g without Trinidad.

Is there any particular reason for NOT wanting to use the trinidad-config.xml? Using Jdev11g, it is very easy, requires no extra jars and have no external dependencies. Also, its [better |http://technology.amis.nl/blog/4169/adf-11g-why-use-skinning-why-not-use-simple-external-css-stylesheets] to do it using skins.

Oracle ADF skin editor tool

Hi,
Im using Oracle Jdeveloper 11.1.1.4.
This https://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/suggested_skin_editor_workflow blog says that for using Skin editor in 11.1.1.4 i need to download Standlone Skin editor. Is this tool a licensed software, because in the download section of the ADF, it says that it is "OTN Developer License Agreement." what this means, can we use this tool for free in a organisation.

Hi,
you can download the editor here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/downloads/index.html
about the license, I don´t know(wait experts responses) but the editor is for custom adf applications and then you need a ADF license
For free organisation you should see ADF Essentials :http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/overview/adfessentials-1719844.html

ADF Faces to Trinidad migrated app popup not working

I have 10g version application (ADF bc and jsf) migrated to 11g using automated migration of jdeveloper and this application has lot of popups . for some reason pop ups are not working in the converted app
if i open a popup programmatically it works okay , but it is not working when used from faces-config.xml ; with dialog:edit etc and usewindow = true - opens in same window
for this blog post [http://blogs.oracle.com/Didier/2008/12/dialog_not_opening_in_a_popup_1.html] by Didlier , the configuration should be moved to adfc-config.xml file , but looks like that is only required when using rich controls ( mainly task flows) . for now my applicaiton only has trinidad components.
If i create adfc-config.xml manually and copy all the navigation flows , will it work. i guess i need to specify that somewhere for the application to start using this file
I thought i will download the converted srdemo but the link to converted srdemo from here [http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/migration-082101.html]
is not working
if anybody have suggestions please advise , thanks for your time
Regards

There seems to be a broader problem here in that the client-side validation is not respecting sub-form boundaries. Any post on the page causes all the validations to run, not just the ones in the subform that contains the control the invoked the post.
Also, with the field marked as immediate, will I have problems with a "Cancel" button marked as immediate? Will the validation on the immediate field take place prior to the navigation invoked by the Cancel button?
Thanks.
