Apex Calendar

The APEX calendar region has built in buttons to navigate to the next, previous and current months. I have a report region next to my calendar that displays every month that has data in my calendar table and I have made the month a link but I am not sure how to make the calendar switch to that particular month when I click the link.

Hi,
You will need to have the built in item ':pXXX_calendar_date' updated by the link in your report with the proper date in this format 'YYYYMMDD'. This will change what date the calendar is looking at. This will work
Cheers Mike

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

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

Apex Calendar synchronize with Google Calendar

Hi Friends,
i have create an calendar region and i have enter my new appointment details on 15 november at 3:00 Pm .
Then these value would be show on my calendar .
But i want to see this appintment in google calendar also.
How Can i synchronize apex Calendar with google Calendar.
How can i do this.
Thanks

Hi 805629,
I don't have the exact answers to your questions... but some extra details might help others.
i.e. Which way do you want to synchronize - google to oralce; oracle to google; both? Does it need to be automated?
Not too sure how easy an automated synchronization would be. Check out this thread: Is there a way to generate an .ics or .vcs file from an APEX calendar? on exporting the ICS file (which you would be able to upload into Google Calendar).
You may want to check out this site - http://code.google.com/apis/calendar/ - In particular, the Data API. You should be able to get your app to create events directly in the google calendar when you create them in APEX. But again, I haven't dealt with this.
By the way, what is the reasons for wanting synchronization between a google calendar and an apex calendar? (as opposed to just having the google calendar embedded in your site)
Good luck :-)
Ta,
Trent

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 has a row limit per day?

Hi, I am using the apex calendar in my application and it seems to have a limit of rows it can display per day, does anyone knows anything about it? Or maybe a limit of characters it can display in one day. (full month view)
What I need to do is to increase this limit because I need to show in the calendar sometimes more then 70 rows displaying costumers full names.
I use Apex 4.2 databese 11g and the theme is 26 -Productivity Applications
Thank you
André

I foung this Apex SQL Calendar - ORA-06502 Error that is the same error I get but still no solid answer about it or if there is a work around.

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)

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.

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 Context (right click) menu

Hi all,
Apex version: 4.2
Plugin: context(rightclick) menu by Vikram
I'm using this plugin and it works perfectly for SQL Reports and IRs. For example this function opens a new popup window with the ID selected by right clicking an entry.
function myMenuAction(action, el, pos)
if (action=='TEST')
window.open('f?p=&APP_ID.:52:&SESSION.::NO::P1_ID:' + $(el).children('td[headers="ID"]').text(),'Popup','height=800,width=800,toolbar=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=yes,resizable=no ,modal=yes');
...I want to know if there is a way to do the same on an apex calendar entry.
Thanks in advance.
Matt.

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.

About APEX Calendar views (monthly, weekly, daily)

Hi,
How can I display a DAILY APEX CALENDAR?
I read in some APEX-related articles that it is possible to have 3 different views: monthly, weekly, and daily.
example 1. http://insum-apex.blogspot.com/2008/07/apex-calendar-enhanced-behavior.html
example 2. http://examples.apex-evangelists.com/pls/apex/f?p=286:29:0:::::
I tried to follow the directions given in one of those examples but I found out that the tags in my local environment differ from the ones shown in the example. I don't have the MONTHLY CALENDAR, WEEKLY CALENDAR and DAILY CALENDAR tabs mentioned in the example.
Please help.

Hi user10284066,
Thank you for mentioning this link http://insum-apex.blogspot.com/2008/07/apex-calendar-enhanced-behavior.html
in this forum. Helped a lot.
For people who want to know where to find these tabs,
Home>Application Builder>Application XXX>Shared Components>Templates
select calendar and you must see those(monthly, weekly, daily) tabs under
Home>Application Builder>Application XXX>Shared Components>Templates>Edit Calendar Template
or upgrade to a newer version

Translate daynumber to date in APEX calendar

Hello all,
I've got a problem with a query for a calendar.
My current customer has two tables to see wether or not an employee is available.
One to see if an employee has parttime hours.
EMP_CALENDAR
- empno number
- day_name varchar2(24)
- day_number number
- work_hours number
- non_work_hours number
Each employee gets 5 rows. One for each workday of the week showing 0 to 8 in the work_hours and non_work_hours column.
And one to see if an employee has time-off.
EMP_NON_AVAILABILITIES
- empno number
- start_date date with timestamp
- duration number
- description varchar2(255)
My predicament is that I have to build screens with monthly calendars and week calendars to show both data.
A query for the non-availabilities is easy enough, because I have a date field available. Using the timestamp I can show it correctly in a week calendar. But showing the part-time hours is a bit more challenging.
Can anybody help me with this? I don't have a clue how to transform the EMP_CALENDAR data to integrate with the EMP_NON_AVAILABILITIES data when using an APEX calendar.
The trouble is that I can translate a single date to a workday without a problem, but the APEX calendar only gives me 1 date; the CALENDAR_DATE. The other days of the week aren't available in an ITEM as far as I know.

I've found a solution myself. I don't think it's very pretty, but it does the trick.
select empno display_value
     , start_date return_value
from emp_non_availabilities
where empno = :APP_USER
union all
select empno display_value
     , dd.return_date return_value
from emp_calendar
     , (SELECT (to_date(:P110_CALENDAR_DATE,'YYYYMMDD') + (LEVEL-7)) return_date
          FROM DUAL
       CONNECT BY LEVEL < 14) dd
where day_number = to_char(dd.return_date,'D')
   and empno = :APP_USERI have to select 14 days from 7 days before :P110_CALENDAR_DATE until 7 days after, so I can get all data for my weekcalender. I don't know in advance which day of the week my CALENDAR DATE will be.

Is there a way to generate an .ics or .vcs file from an APEX calendar?

In our APEX application, we have a calendar that we would like to be able to give the users a link to download an appointment so that they can save it to their personal calendars. Is this available functionality?
Thanks,
Karla

How to display data based on two columns in Apex calendar?

I have a table for holiday details with 2 date columns...from-date and a to-date. I need to display the name of the person for the date range they have specified. For Ex if i applied for leaves from may 1 to may 4...the calendar should display my name for 4 dates i.e may1,2,3 and 4
I am new user in apex and still trying new things. Please help me achieve this.

Swetha
I created an application using Apex. It is a calendar application to show events that are happening. I ran into an issue with it
If there is an event that occurs during an interval like August15 - August22, the event is shown only on August15, which is the first day of the event. I would like to show it in all days from August15-22.
Here are the items coming from the page
event_id number,
employee_id number
date_from date,
date_to date,
due_date date,
act_id number,
act_loc varchar2,
reminder varchar2,
frequency varchar2,
division varchar2,
event_status varchar2
I am looking to write a process / procedure where it can show the same event on all the days it is occurring
Thanks in advance
