An API for help pages

Hello
is there an API for writing help pages in Java?
I am talking about displaying help cotent such as one that is displayed when the user presses F1 on many windows applications.
With Conent/Index/Search tabs...
Or do I have to write everything from scarch???

Have a look at JavaHelp:

(though I haven't used it yet)

Best view for help page

Hi, I am working on a iphone App and I am wondering if you can help me select the most appropriate view for the Help or Information page. In my main window, I have a tool bar. In the bar, there is a small icon (UIButtonTypeInfoDark). If user click it, I would open a new Help page. My page will be long, so it can bot fit in my page. I prefer use can flip up / down so the whole content can be views. Just like we visit a web page on iphone. What kind of view should I use?
I am think about a webview, but the help page content will resides on he iphone, not through a URL connection.
Thank you very much

I need urgent help in business catalyst SOAP api for [Product_UpdateInsert] operation.

Hi Everyone, I am new in Business Catalyst, but, my company is working with BC for a while. I have a task to import external data (such as catalogue, products, orders, shopping cart etc) to business catalyst native tables via SOAP api. I am able to use "Product_ListRetrieve" function that gave me products from BC. Now I want to insert and update product list, for which the api call is "Product_UpdateInsert". I am not being able to feed in even a single record. I need any code (jquery, php, javascript, java etc) as a sample, that works with SOAP api for this function. It is very urgent. Please help me.

Hi BCMan, Thanks for replying. Yes, the error is from BC side. The format was invalid. I fixed the issue today. Actually, I was pushing data from my PHP server to BC host system using SOAP api. I am still getting format errors, but I am able to insert data into products table.
One more question if you don't mind. Is it possible to use JQuery/Javascript to push data into BC tables in real time (while browsing products table) using customized pages? There are documents to solve this. However, I could not find examples of how I could fetch data from JSON file using JQuery and then populate products/catalog/order tables.
I appreciate your help.
Thank you.

API for positioning iviews in a page

Hi all,
i wud like to know the API for positioning iviews in a page...can any of you help me out regarding this..

Hi Gayathri
You have a file named layoutTemplate.jsp in the Page Layout Template. The following tags are part of the layout tag library:
<b>1. Container
2. Template
3. taglib uri</b>
A layout container represents a column of iViews. You use the <lyt:container> tag to position the layout container in the layoutTemplate.jsp file. When the HTML page is created, the container is rendered as an html <table>, with a row for each iview.
Hope that answers your query.
For further details please refer to this link.

Firefox cannot load pages that other browsers can, but the 'help' page for this issue did not fix the problem.

I am troubleshooting an issue occurring on a family member's pc. Immediately after changing their "search" settings from "Yahoo search" to "Google search", they found that Firefox was unable to load any webpages. After troubleshooting the problem, I found the "Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can" help page, and attempted each of the solutions listed. None of those solutions fixed the issue. Also, I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox; the issue persists. However, the 'new' version of Firefox remembered the tabs left open when the 'old' version was deleted, so some temporary files likely persisted.
Are there any other steps that can be taken, or is Firefox on this computer no longer an option?

Start with this;
Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
Check the settings.
Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
* Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
* Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see
'''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.]''' {web link}
If there is still a problem, go to that computer and do this;
Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press '''Enter.'''
Under the main banner, press the button; '''Copy Text To Clipboard.'''.
Then in the reply box at the bottom of this page,
do a right click in the box and select '''Paste.'''
This will show us your system details.

A Firefox Help page appears for a moment, and is then wiped, in FF4RC

I go to the Firefox Help Page 'Viewing video in Firefox without a plugin', and the body content appears for a few moments (on my Vista laptop), and then disappears, leaving only the Title,the Contributors line, a block of white space, the nurse pussycat image and text block. The stuff on the RHS is OK.
I get the same on this w7 laptop, except I don't see the proper page at all (possibly because this laptop is quicker?).
On 3.6.15, on both laptops, the page appears correctly, I think.
I guess my question is can someone who knows how to submit a formal bug report on FF4 see if they can reproduce this, and if so, then please submit such a report?
Or you could maybe tell me what I'm doing wrong; though as it fails on two separate laptops in FF4, and works on both in FF3.6.15, I don't think I am doing anything wrong.
I've added troubleshooting info below, obediently, but I doubt it's needed...

I'll make a note of that in the correct forum about specifically stating when an article doesn't apply to Firefox 4.0.

I upgraded my Firefox and my home page (which I love) is GONE. Not sure how to get it back. I still have my bookmarks though. Thanks in advance for helping me.

Printing JPanel to fit one page, Urgent (thanks for help)..........

hi all,
I am trying to print and can't get the right scaling. My problem is if the JPanel that has lot of images inside it is too big to come on one page width and height then I want the print out to be on one page. If my panel's height is too large to fit on one page and the width is only half of the page or less than page half of the width. Then I want to scale it's height only to fit on one page while keeping the width the same during printing and the images also to be scaled accordingly. And if my height is too small lets say less than half the page and the width is too large too fit on one page then in this case I want to print the original height or keep the height to be shown on the printout as it looks on the screen but scale the width to fit on to one page and the images also to be scaled accordingly. But my following piece of code doesn't honor this though it fits on one page. It keeps on increasing the width or height to fit the whole page thought the width or height is less than that and the images are also expaned accordingly. I want to scale the images too and only fit the width or height if any is greater than one page. Any help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance

Is there a way to fix this any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Dear Nadia,
Thanks for the info.
If I understand it correct I can make a copy of my actual css file.
Rename it this copy to e.g. print.css
And then make some changes such a letter fonts and colour
Linking this css file to my pages and specify it is only for `print1`
Right?
I`m using a template so if I amend the template like this and have all pages updated automatically that should do the trick?
Right?
Is there somewhere where I need to mention that e.g. the page needs to be reduced onto 95% by printing?
Or will the print.css do the trick?
Sometimes I get confused on what css can do and it can do a lot.
Many thanks for helping me out here.
Kind regards
martine

API for bulk loading of pages into UCM

For Oracle Universal Content Management –
Is there an API for use in bulk loading pages?
Where is the documentation for this?
If there is not API, what is the best way to bulk load 10’s of thousands of pages into UCM?
Thanks in advance,
Ram

To easily bulk load files in UCM, you can use the BatchLoader utility described in chapter 7 (in release 10g or chapter 3 in release 11g) of the 'Managing System Settings and Processes' admin guide.
We used it on our project to load some 60000 documents in UCM with associated metadata in just over 1 hour. Worked fine.
Brgrds,
Bob Marien
(Ps: if you want to use an API instead, you can ofcourse invoke the UCM webservices)

Any practical help about XML API for databases

HI friends,
I have a problem, i want to connect to my Database using JSP but by using XML api for database. I want to MAP my database tables, rows columns as xml elements to make it more flexible. Anyone who had practicaly worked on it, please help me out.
I am waiting for a quick response.
Thanks for any help in advance,
Yours Truly,
Khawaja Salman Sarfraz

Some databases have a feature that allows you to output the result of a query as XML. But that's not standard SQL, and it probably varies from one DB to the next. Look up the documentation for your DB for more information.

API for clearing cache of page items

Is there an API for clearing the cache of page items? I see there is a procedure called CLEAR_PAGE_CACHE in APEX_UTIL package to clear the cache of all the items on a page, but wanted the equivalent for an item. Maybe I'm making this harder than needed. No idea.
I realize there is the option of creating a page process called "Clear Cache for Items (ITEM,ITEM,ITEM)" on a page, but I am trying to do this in an application-level process.
Shane.

FYI... I found that using [ apex_util.set_session_state ( 'item name', '' ); ] worked for me.

How to create another session for a help page ?

Hello
I am trying to create help system for an application, which would be similar to apex's own help system. The main thing is that the help page/application/procedure would run independently of the calling application, and therefore it needs to create another session, I suppose ? How do you implement that ? I have also tried to find description of the package wwv_flow_help, but haven't found anywhere. Is it useful here ?
Thanks for any comments

If the link is from a page in your application then that's exactly what you want to do using javasScript to open a new window but keeping the same session ID in the request. In this way, when the new request is received by the Application Express engine, it will have the session cookie that goes with the specified session ID.

ERROR 4323- Request for help did not provide a numeric page ID to show help

Hi All,
I am getting the above error on a page with help text region and a report region. Very similar to the issue discussed in the following thread:
Re: Error 4323 on Help Text Region
I have set the report template to 'template: 2. Standard(PPR)' and the pagination scheme to 'Row Ranges 1-15 15-30 in select list (with pagination)'.
I do not get the error if I click the 'Next' button but if I choose from the select list I get the above error. I also tried one other pagination scheme 'Row Ranges 1-15 16-30 (with set pagination)' and still get the same error.
Please help !

Ted,
Looks like you found a bug for us. I'm guessing that you have not actually translated your application and published a French version, but that the application language setting is set to "Use Browser Language" (see Edit Application page under Globalization). I can offer two different workarounds: 1) If you want to run your application with French NLS settings (or whatever your browser NLS is) just create a before-header process of type PL/SQL anonymous block on your help page consisting of:
wwv_flow.g_translated_flow_id := wwv_flow.g_flow_id;Don't worry about why that fixes the problem, it's just one of those behind-the-scenes things.
2) If you don't need your application to inherit the browser's NLS settings just change the application attribute to "No NLS" or set the application primary language to English. Again, you set these on the Edit Application page under Globalization.
We'll fix the bug in the next release. Thanks for pointing it out.
-Scott
