Best way to implement an EULA popup (imprint) in RH 9

Hello there ,
I have a question about RoboHelp 9. The fact is my help page is divided into 2 iframes.
A left sidebar iframe containing a navigation menu, and a right sided iframe, the main one, containing the data. (index, content, ...)
The fact is I want, when the user load my helpdesk, to pop up a message, asking him if he agree to the legal terms of our society (EULA).
If he answer Yes, the popup is closed, and he can navigate freely in the menu, but if he answer No, I want him being redirected on our official website.
Is there a simple way to implement this kind of popup, with the following features :
focus locked on the popup (the user cannot naviguate until he didn't agreed)
the redirection have to take over the whole window, including the iframes (because if he is redirected only on the main iframe, he still can load pages from the left sidebar menu)
I tried :
to use BSSCPopup(), but it loses focus as I click outside the popup, and it cannot be closed properly.
I tried to use jQuery, but RoboHelp don't appreciate the library, and reformat the code (impossible to make it works).
I tried to use simply javascript, was the best results, as I could keep the focus, close the popup, but the redirection was always made on the main iframe, whatever I tried.
Thus, that leads me to begging for help, 'cause I just don't get why it's that hard to implement this in RH.
Thank you for any suggestions or help

Actually, it is a bit more complex than you think. For example, when the user leaves the page and returns an hour later, you don't want to show the popup (overlay, because you can close a popup) again. This means that you need to save the acceptance in a cookie. The content files should also check whether the terms are accepted and whether the navigation frame is not shown. If the navigation is not shown, the content must show the EULA acceptance overlay as well.
Note that there will be a way to circumvent this with web development tools if you are using JavaScript (just disable the overlay with the tool). Or even the possibility that JavaScript is turned off. The only reliable way would be server side scripting (PHP etc.) and RH doesn't support that. So make sure that your EULA contains some information on this possibility as well, such as a link in your topics stating that using the pages means that you accept the EULA. This may even be easier to implement, but I have no idea of the legal implications.
You can use jQuery for RoboHelp (I've used it quite a bit.) In my experience, RoboHelp doesn't reformat the code when it is in an external script file. I use a lot of script files and I have never seen this behaviour before (though that doesn't mean it doesn't of course).
Such a requirement is a lot of work and the best I can do on the forum is point you in the right direction.
If you require professional support, contact me via my site: http://www.wvanweelden.eu/ and we can talk about your options. Note that this is not associated with my forum contributions nor is it in any way affiliated with Adobe.

  • Best way to implement m to n relation?

    Could you please give me some advice on the best way to implement m-n relations in apex?
    Example: I want to store server and database info. A server can have multiple database of course. But in case of a RAC database, the database can be running on multiple servers. So I have tables:
    create table SERVERS (id number primary key, name varchar2(30));
    create table DATABASES(id number primary key, name varchar2(30))
    and an m-to-n table
    create table SERV_DB(serv_id number references SERVERS(id), db_id number references DATABASES(id), instance_name varchar2(30))
    So the table SERV_DB can tell me e.g. that database PROD is running on server 'prdsrv1' with instance PROD1 and on server 'prdsrv2' with instance name PROD2
    How would you design an apex page to maintain this information (adding relations, updating instance names, etc)? I have a solution using checkboxes and 2 for-loops over htmldb_application.g_f40 (to process checkboxes) and g_f41 (to process text fields with instance names) and some delete statements but the logic behind it looks too complex for me. I am convinced that this can be done more simpler. Seems like a common problem to me, so I wonder if there is no out-of-the-box solution in apex for this?
    Could you please show me or create a small demo application with the solution that looks most elegant to you?
    Thanks,
    Geert

    Thanks for your reply. You modified the question slightly, but conceptually it is still the same. What you call the instances table corresponds with my serv_db table. I understand the solution you propose using the tabular report. If I see it correctly, you would have an insert button above the tabular report for each new relation (instance - server) you would want to add. This is ok for the case i used (databases, servers, instances) because there are relatively few relations. However I would not like this solution for other cases. E.g.:
    case: you have a list of persons and a list of tasks. You want to assign tasks to persons in a way that each person has multiple tasks to do and each task can be assigned to multiple persons.
    Suppose you add a new person, and you want to assign 15 tasks to him. The solution above (with the tabular report) would be quite some work because you would have to click 15 times on the insert button and on each click select a task from the select list. In this case it would be more appropriate to, after selecting the new person, see a list of all tasks (e.g. 30 tasks) with a checkbox in front, so you can mark 15 out of the 30 checkboxes and press submit. It gets more complex when you want to assign also an attribute to the relation, i.e. showing the list with all tasks, a checkbox in front and a select list next to each task where you can choose from e.g. "priority high" or "priority low" to indicate that this task is high or low priority for that person. Is there an easy way to implement that?

  • Displaying Multiple Values on GUI components - best way to implement

    Hi,
    my program needs to implement a basic function that most commercial programs use very widely: If the program requires that a GUI component (say a JTextField) needs to display multiple values it either goes <blank> or say something more meaningfull like "multiple values". What is the best way of implementing it?
    In particular:
    My data is a class called "Student" that among other things has a field for the student name, like: protected String name; and the usual accessor methods (getName, setName) for it.
    Assuming that the above data (i.e. Student objects) is stored in a ListModel and the user can select multiple "Students", if a JTextField is required to display the user selection (blank for multiple selections, or the student "name" for a single selection), what is the best (OO) way of implementing it? Is there any design pattern (best practice) for this basic piece of functionality? A crude way is to have the JTextField check and compare all the time the user selections one by one, but I'm sure there must be a more OO/better approach.
    Any ideas much appreciated.
    Kyri.

    Ok, I will focus on building a solution on 12c.
    right now I have used a USER_DATASTORE with a procedure to glue all the field together in one document.
    This works fine for the search.
    I have created a dummy table on which the index is created and also has an extra field which contains the key related to all the tables.
    So, I have the following tables:
    dummy_search
    contracts
    contract_ref
    person_data
    nac_data
    and some other tables...
    the current design is:
    the index is on dummy_search.
    When we update contracts table a trigger will update dummy_search.
    same configuration for the other tables.
    Now we see locking issues when having a lot of updates on these tables as the same time.
    What is you advice for this situation?
    Thanks,
    Edward

  • Best way to implement app wide process

    I am working on an application that has a list of art work in an sql report.. I want to be able to add each piece to a collection of items (which is stored in a table), so I added another column to the sql report to store the id of the art work. I am just wondering what is the best way to implement the process to insert the item to the collection of items. Since I want to do this from multiple pages - link from art work sql report; link from the edit page for a particular art work; and on the artists page where there is also an sql report, I thought it may be best to have an application process, to save duplicating the process on multiple pages.. however I don't think there's a way to pass the id of the item to the application process? as I was thinking best to have the application process conditional based on request, and then have the link as a doSubmit().
    So is it best just to have the link redirect to the same page, passing the id of the item, and then having a process that runs before header that inserts the item, then assigning the item to NULL?
    Thanks in advance,
    Trent

    Daniel:
    Thanks for the info. I have found that the IFRAME works nicely for some applications,
    however, some applications I want to re-write the front end to look better in
    the portal rather than screen scrape.

    Set output low
    Case 2:
    Set output high
    If statement 2 is true
    then set out put low
    if not then repeat until statement is true
    Thanks for your help

    Hi David,
    The code you posted will work, although note that the front panel becomes 'unresponsive' - as changes in the controls are only read once per iteration.  The wait function is an example of an execution timing VI, however if we want to do software timing (like a 2 hour wait) - we should use software timing VIs.
    Check out the following example (note we can stop execution during run-time):

    Thanks

    content search web part always provides best performance because it uses the search. only consideration you need to take is, it does not display the changes immediately and you need to wait for the incremental crawl to happen.

  • Best way to implement service in 3-tier webarchitecture

    Hi,
    What would be the best way to implement a service in the following 3-tier TopLink architecture: no ejb and a webclient (jsp/servlets)?
    Currently I have a server session type and a service pojo using a singleton SessionFactory. The service pojo is used by the jsp/servlets.
    Should the service pojo be a singleton? Should a SessionManager be used?
    In the examples on OTN a clientsession is directly acquired in the jsp/servlets.
    Thanks,
    Ronald

    Ronald,
    There are numerous ways to do this. I would recommend using the SessionFactory. The SessionFactory makes use of the SessionManager, which holds onto the singleton Server session. You can then acquire client sessions using the oracle.toplink.sessions.Session interface from the SessionFactory. There is no need to hold the SessionFactory in a singleton yourself and you do not need to reference the ClientSession directly either.
    We have introduced this latest approach to simplify coding. It will work in both the web architecture with JSP/Servlets accessing the sessions as well as within an EJB tier (Session/Message Driven beans).

  • What is the best way to implement writable many-to-many relations

    As everyone knows, the many-to-many associations provided by BC4J are quite good to read many-to-many associations, but they are not able to write such associations.

  • Event Structures​-best way to implement this UI?

    I am trying to write a VI to control & read data from 4 different "channels" (each measuring a DUT) at once.  I have written all the VI's for initializing instruments, communicating with the devices (VISA, GPIB), setting bias, reading data, etc...that has all completed. I just need to write the overall program with the user interface to allow the user to control these 4 channels & display the measured data.....as it turns out, this is the tricky part! My head is spinning from trying to figure out how to handle all the possible events.
    Basically for each channel, I want the user to be able to
    -enable/disable it  for measurement (e.g. if  there is no device loaded in Ch.3, we don't want to measure Ch.3..maybe disable/grey everything)
    -set bias conditions (only if channel enabled). Allow user to change bias "in real-time" by increment/decrementing (e.g. incrementing from 5.00 V to 5.01 V, for example).
    -turn biasing on/off (again, only if channel is enabled)
    Also,  I want each channel to display its measured data (e.g current, temperature reading)..every second or so. No graphs or anything fancy (for now! ), just numeric indicator. 
    Honestly, this all sounds so simple but I'm having trouble figuring out the best way to implement this, due to the fact that 1) there are multiple channels needing to be monitored for events  2) large number of user events that could occur (seems like at least 4 per channel - enabling/disabling, turning bias on/off, incrementing/decrementing bias values, etc ), Also the if a channel IS enabled, i want to be continously reading/displaying the data.  What is the best way to handle this? Should i have 4 separate while loops, each with an event structure to handle events for that particular channel..or will that give me grief somewhre? 
    Also, I have another nagging question. Pretty much all the examples I see re: Event Structures and booleans involve latched booleans, eg. buttons that are just pressed once and pop back up...e.g. buttons you press to tell it to complete a task (e.g. "Acquire Data" or "Stop") , and once it's pressed it's over and reset.  In my case, some of the booleans would not be latched...e.g. the "Enable Ch.2" button would be 'TRUE" as long as i want Ch. 2 to be read....does that make sense? Then, say hours later,  if i did want to disable that channel,  i would change it to "FALSE" and while that would be an "value change", the new value would not be "TRUE"..does that make sense? So  not sure if that would be dealt with the same way in an Event Structure. 
    Hope this all makes sense and many thanks in advance for any help!!!

    You're halfway there. I'd say the best solution is a producer/consumer structure, the event structure is used to generate queued commands to the consumer loop.
    All data is handled in the consumer loop, where you among other things have an array of clusters of channel/instrument settings. (I usually have several cluster, one for test data, one for instrument settings, one for general settings and so on)
    The event structure can have a 1 sec timeout, in which you queue up a Measure command.
    In the consumer, in the measure state you loop through your instruments and if enabled you measure them and update their indicators.
    The general (smart) way to setup the queue is with a cluster containing 2 elements, a typedef'd Command and a variant.
    This way you can send data with the command in any form which is then interpreted in the consumer.
    If, e.g. you press the Enable button on a channel, you can enqueue Enable and the channel number.
