Altering an ApEx Calendar page

Hello,
I was wondering if it was possible to alter an ApEx calendar page in order to make it into a resource scheduling page. Instead of the days listed across the top, it would have a list of resources (like shared meeting rooms), then times would be listed in a vertical column, showing who was using what resources.
Thanks!

Hi,
You can use something like this:
http://www.moyosoft.com/joc/
This is not Open-Source, it might be the case that Apache POI is working on something for Outlook now since Microsoft release the main API calls not too long ago.
You will need the native library, and I assume somehow you can do a WebStart application to run the code in the client machine. Information regarding Java WebStart can be found on http://java.sun.com/javase/technologies/desktop/javawebstart/index.jsp
I did not really investigate other ways of doing this, maybe there are better approaches.
Also, take a look here http://java.sun.com/products/javamail/Third_Party.html
Hope it helps,
Daniel

Display all dates between a start and end date on an Apex Calendar

Hi Guys,
I am encountering an issue where Apex doesn't display the data from a valid query in a Calendar.
I have a simple table used to capture events data with the following columns and data:
event_id   start_date   end_date
1           20-APR-09   22-APR-09
2           24-APR-09   24-APR-09Using an Apex Calendar I would like to display the continuous dates of an event on each relevant date, so in the above example I would like to see Event ID 1 shown on the 20th, 21st & 22nd April in the Calendar.
I have created the following query :
SELECT     ees.event_id,
           ees.start_date + LEVEL - 1 AS date_range
FROM       dual
         , (SELECT ee.event_id,
                   (ee.start_date) AS start_date,
                   (ee.end_date)   AS end_date
            FROM   ees_event ee ) ees
CONNECT BY LEVEL <= (ees.end_date - ees.start_date + 1)the results from this query list the dates as I require them in terms of an ID and a row for each date in the date range.
I then wrap this query into a view and use that to base an Apex Calendar on and the when I run the page nothing is displayed on the Calendar?!
Does anyone have any tips or pointers please?
Kind regards,
stu

ApEx Calendar Region - enhanced behavior using JavaScript

Hi everyone,
I recently wrote about the built in calendar. Comments/remarks are welcome! :)

Hi Emma,
You could do it with an POP-UP LOV and Dynamic Action.
Dynamic Action
- Change
- item P65_STAFF_ID
True Actions
1 - PL/SQL block;
     - PL/SQL Code in this block you can get the last of first date for the absence of the STAFF_ID and put it in the date item for the calendar (eg P65_CALENDAR_DATE);
     - Page Items to Submit P65_STAFF_ID
     - Page Items to Return P65_CALENDAR_DATE
2 - Execute Javascript Code
     - apex.widget.calendar.ajax_calendar('M','same',$v('P65_CALENDAR_DATE'));
This way the calendar will be refreshed and set to the date in P65_CALENDAR_DATE.
You can also put "null;" in the PL/SQL block, leave the Page Items to Return empty and remove the ",$v('P65_CALENDAR_DATE')" part from the Javascript code. This way you do not open the calendar at the right date.
I made a small example at http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=14257:4 (login as demo/demo).

APEX Calendar Help - I'm stuck!

Hello,
First let me preface this by saying I am not an APEX expert and have been learning on the fly for the past few weeks. As a trainer for my organization it was important to have a dynamic training and events calendar with some specific features. I found a pre-packaged [Sample Calendar|http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/packaged-apps-090453.html] application, uploaded that and have modified it to fit about 90% of my needs. Here is where I am stuck:
1. I need to change how the events sort. I need alpha sorting, ideally.
2. I currently have two different calendar groupings, soon to be three. Meaning, I have some events labelled as Training & Events and others labelled as Birthdays. I would like to color code these on my calendar so that it is clear to users what is what. I know how to change the highlighting color of all events, but not how to specify based on an identifiable column in my table.
3. I created a page to reflect event details. When you click on a given event, it redirects to another page and shows the name, date, start time, web conference and dial-in details. The problem is the latter two items are showing blank when there is data in my table. Ideas?
Any help or guidance is greatly appreciated. I am using APEX 4.2.
Thank you,
Christina

Hi,
1. I need to change how the events sort. I need alpha sorting, ideally. - The current calendar design overrides your sorting and uses the Calendar date column instead. There is a workaround for this provided your Calendar is SQL based.
select display_column, cast(date_column as timestamp) + numtodsinterval('0.00' || rownum,'SECOND') shift_date, sort_column from
(select display_column, date_column, sort_column
from your_table
order by sort_column desc)

2. I currently have two different calendar groupings, soon to be three. Meaning, I have some events labelled as Training & Events and others labelled as Birthdays. I would like to color code these on my calendar so that it is clear to users what is what. I know how to change the highlighting color of all events, but not how to specify based on an identifiable column in my table. -
To acheive this yo need to modify the SQL statement with additional case statement to get the color of your choice and modify the display column as custom and add the column value as background/foreground color of your choice this needs some custom HTML / this also can be achieved by Modifying the Calendar Template. if needed will blog this with practical example.
3. I created a page to reflect event details. When you click on a given event, it redirects to another page and shows the name, date, start time, web conference and dial-in details. The problem is the latter two items are showing blank when there is data in my table. Ideas? -
If you mean some data columns displays correctly will others does not show data, want you to check the data source of those columns, whether it is similar to columns which work fine, if not want to know does the columns which does not display the value is in anyway related to display / date column used by calendar.

Apex calendar report url problems

Hi
im having problems with the "day link" attribute in an apex calendar report.
i have the calendar set up so that when you click the date in the calendar it sends the date formatted correctly to the date picker field in my create a new appointment page. so pre-populating the field as the page is loaded.
initially i used the standard "page in this application" function and passed the substitute string #DD# #MON# #YYYY# to the date picker item P6_APT_DATE, setting the link to go to page 6 etc....
this actually works fine but apex converts in into a URL
f?p=&FLOW_ID.:6:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:6:P6_APT_DATE:#DD#-#MON#-#YYYY#
which does exactly the same thing. and both work perfectly
However - nether are saved by apex? if i go back to edit the report the "day link" section is blank but both continue to work even when i refresh / re-cache the page.
i have had similar happen in the past when the link isn't formatted correctly, the problem here is that it all works fine until you go back in to edit the calendar report, at which point the url / links vanish.
im just starting out with apex so my apologies if i have missed anything obvious. any help would be appreciated

Solomon,
I'm not sure exactly how your calendar page works, but the # character cannot appear in URLs except as an named-anchor reference.
If you can show me your app on apex.oracle.com, I'll take a closer look.

Apex. calendar es_es bug

Hello,
I'm not a parter of Oracle and I don't know how to report a bug so i put this here.
After spending 5 hours on it I won't give more time to it.
I've found a bug.
Steps:
put the locale to es_es en the web browser.
create a page based on a calendar.
Access to the calendar object and without changing anything press aplicar cambios (save changes).
Be sure nobody is changing the object at the same time and repeat the last step.
If the locale is changed to en-us the problem is solved.
Occurs on Apex 4.0.*
Salut!

Calendar page with notes image

I have a calendar page that is based on table below:
PK_ID
ATTENDANCE_DATE
ATTENDANCE_CODE
ATTENDANCE_NOTES
My table can store notes (attendance_notes) as well as a code for each calendar day. I currently show the attendance_code in the date box but I would also like to show an indicator or image in the date box if attendance_notes exist for that record. What is the best way to do this?

Bob,
Isn't it possible to use the same approach as here:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:23
and get (or not get) the images?
Something like this:
SELECT    attendance_code
       || DECODE (attendance_notes,
                  NULL, NULL,
                  '</br><img src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#my_image">'
                 ) attendance_code
FROM my_table?

Calendar Page

Hi,
Can someone explain to me the benefit of the calendar page in apex. Is it only to view the data entered by a form in the calendar format?

How to create a Calendar page

Hi gurus,
i'm starting with Apex and I would like to create a Calendar in an Apex page.
in this calendar I will show info about events and a link to a register page.
any idea how can I do this?
Thank you.

Apex calendar regions are pretty straight-forward; at least I didn't see any challenging requirements in your post. If you don't want to just go for it, there's a sample Apex packaged application called Events that uses calendar views. You could install that and look under the hood.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/apex/application-express/packaged-apps-090453.html#EVENTS
Personally I think you could create a calendar region much more quickly than using Matt's suggestion of generating your own HTML. I think that's a lot of what Apex is for, making it so we don't have to write sys.htp.p...
But what do I know?
Good luck,
Stew

Open Calendar page - perfomance issue

Hi,
I've created a Calendar page based on a single table.
The performance decreased by increasing the volume of data in a the current month: when the page opened at the first time, by default it loads all the data for the current month.
Is there a manner to open a Calendar page and loading data of the current day or week instead of the current month?
How could we improve the performance for this page?

Limit access to Apex login page

Hi,
We are deploying an application to our users. I need to limit access to Apex login page f?p=4550 to some predefined Ip adresses. Any ideas on this?
Best regards,
Onur.

How exactly the APEX engine forces a '404' to be returned, I am not entirely sure. Perhaps it sends back the Response with the Header Status set to 404 ?Yes, with this process on the login page.
begin
if not #OWNER#.wwv_flow_security.ip_check then
      #OWNER#.wwv_flow.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
      sys.owa_util.status_line(404, 'Page Not Found');
      sys.owa_util.http_header_close;
end if;

XE database home page link goes to APEX home page after 3.2 upgrade

Hi - I had Oracle XE running on Win XP all OK.
Taking the Database home page link took me to http://127.0.0.1:8080/apex/f?p=4550: etc etc BUT it took me to the XE login page which we use for system administration - all good so far.
I then upgraded (sucessfully) the installed APEX (V2.1) which comes with XE to the new V3.2 version.
All went well BUT the url above takes me to APEX login page and I can't get to XE adminstration.
Any ideas or clues how I should upgrade to keep both login pages available ?

How can I add a UserGroup input in an APEX Login Page

Hi,
I am willing to add a UserGroup input (dropdown) in APEX Login page, but I see the default Login page supports only two parameter, i.e. Username and PWD. I see the authentication function wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login(
P_UNAME => :P101_USERNAME,
P_PASSWORD => :P101_PASSWORD,
P_SESSION_ID => v('APP_SESSION'),
P_FLOW_PAGE => :APP_ID||':1'
takes only username and pwd. But I need to add one more field, how can I accomplish this ?

Hi,
I have similar structure of the accounting like you.
I have table users, roles, ...
Then i use script like this:
select nvl(1, null)
from APEX_USER u,
APEX_USER_ROLE r
where u.active = 'Y'
and r.USER_ID = U.ID
and u.user_name = v('APP_USER')
and r.appl_id = v('APP_ID')
and r.is_edit = 'Y'
and ((instr(group_name, ',NB_EOS,') > 0 and :P2_STATUS not in ('2','0'))
or instr(group_name, ',NB_ADV_NT_ADM,') > 0 and :P2_STATUS not in ('2','5', '0')
or instr(group_name, ',NB_CALL_ADMIN,') > 0 and :P2_STATUS not in ('2','5', '0'))
There i have set the row for each application and user with my defined roles.

How to export the Apex web page to PDF with click of a button?

How to export the Apex web page to PDF with click of a button?
Am looking at exporting the Form view on APEX to be exported to PDF.

In order to get a PDF, you need to generate a Report....in PDF format.
If you are using the APEX Listener, you can initiate the download of the PDF by calling APEX_UTILS.download_print_document() (I normally place this in a Process)
BUT -- You have to create the Report (under Shared Components) and a Template (also under Shared Components).
The white paper in my first post gives you the HOWTO "[Create] Custom PDF Reports with Oracle Application Express and the APEX Listener".
Start by creating a Report (in Shared Components, bottom right) that uses a simple SQL statement like:
Select * from emp where empno = :P15_EMPNO
You may need to hard code the parameter before you hit "Download XML" button.
The XML that you get from clicking "Download XML" satisfies the "Step 1 - Create an XML Data Source" found on Page 11 of the document.
The rest of the instructions is in that whitepaper.
