Blog post : "Bug in Create/Edit View Criteria Wizard (JDeveloper 11g)"

hi
Using steps 1 to 13 from the blog post "Bug in Create/Edit View Criteria Wizard (JDeveloper 11g)" by Andrejus Baranovskis, I have been able to reproduce the issue he describes.
see http://andrejusb.blogspot.com/2008/12/bug-in-createedit-view-criteria-wizard.html
I the blog post comments he writes "... there was no time for me to fill bug in Metalink ...".
Maybe someone from Oracle can pick it up from this forum post and file it as a bug if it is one (and if possible post the bug number here).
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

The mechanism is to create a reproduceable test case, create a Service Request in metalink.oracle.com, post the test case, and convince the analyst to file it as a bug.
It may be not efficient at some time, but this the way it is handled.

Adobe Captivate Help | Edit audio

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/edit-audio.html

I had the same issue, and finally I found "DJ Audio Editor" and it works well. It has everything I need and does the job perfectly. It supports various audio formats, have powerful filters and effects. The best point is its affordable $20 price, instead of hundreds of dollars.

Adobe Captivate Background Editing

Is there a way to edit a background in Captivate using Photoshop?

Thanks Rick! I've gotten as far as right clicking on the background file in the library and have pulled it up in Photoshop. I've made my edits but can't figure out how to get that edited image back in the Captivate project as the "new" background.
As far as the type of edits I need to make...they are pretty simple. I have to remove all client information that appears on the screen. I've done this in Captivate using white boxes to "white out" the information but when the project is played we are still able to see the client information behind the white boxes. After the boxes have been placed, the client information appears as a washed out grey color instead of bold black, but it's still visible to those who view the published project so I was hoping that doing the editing outside of Captivate would resolve this issue.
Do you have any other thoughts?

I ended up answering my own question. But just in case this helps anyone else, I'm going to post my solution.
Essentially, I just re-created the video in MP4 format. Then I used MetaZ (for Mac) to write Meta Data to the video. Lastly, I imported the video as an object and when I published the video, Captivate transmuted it to the necessary FLV format.
Now the video displays properly.

Adobe captivate 7 mixed hebrew and english text displayed wrong

hello all,
when I create captions with mixed Hebrew and English characters or numbers, the caption is displayed all mixed up.
Is there a fix for this issue ?
If not, is there a simple workaround?
thanks,

Hi
I hope you have upgraded to the latest captivate version 8.0.1.242. If not please follow the steps mentioned on this post Adobe Captivate Help | Adobe Captivate 8 patch. Make sure to remove layouts and preferences as mentioned in the link.
There is an issue with text in case of multi-hierarchal bullets but apart from that other things should work fine. You might just have to change some position parameters to fix the results. Can you please share the project, so that I can reproduce the issues at my end. My email address is [email protected] . You can send it via email or drop box.
Captivate responsive output works for multiple browsers. Please check the link Tech Specs - eLearning, mobile learning & Training Software | Adobe Captivate 8 for details.

Blog Post Comments - #comments anchor causing an error on 2nd page of comments

We have run into a problem with blog posts on our SharePoint 2013 on premise installation (15.0.4649.1000). The problem is with the blog on the users' MySites. On the front page of the blog, (https://mysite.url/personal/user_name/Blog/default.aspx),
you are presented with a listing of the blog posts - displayed as a summary view. So, this includes:
- the title (linked to the post ie https://mysite.url/personal/user_name/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=5)
- the publication date
- an excerpt of the post
- the author, the time posted
- the number of comments (linked to the post - but with an anchor to the comment section ie https://mysite.url/personal/user_name/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=5#comments).
If you click on the Title (ie https://mysite.url/personal/user_name/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=5) everything is fine - the problem does not come up.
If you click on the number of comments (ie https://mysite.url/personal/user_name/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?ID=5#comments), here's where things go wrong. The initial page loads fine, but if there are more than 10 comments, you have to go to the next page.
If you click the arrow to go to the next page you get the following error:
Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131904
Correlation ID:20a9f49c-d329-0015-874e-4818b529d673
If I check the ULS logs, this is what I see:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException (0x80131904): Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '5#comments' to data type int.
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.OnError(SqlException exception, Boolean breakConnection, Action`1 wrapCloseInAction)
at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.ThrowExceptionAndWarning(TdsParserStateObject stateObj, Boolean callerHasConnectionLock, Boolean asyncClose)
at System.Data.SqlClient.TdsParser.TryRun(RunBehavior runBehavior, SqlCommand cmdHandler, SqlDataReader dataStream, BulkCopySimpleResultSet bulkCopyHandler, TdsParserStateObject stateObj, Boolean& dataReady)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.TryHasMoreRows(Boolean& moreRows)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.TryReadInternal(Boolean setTimeout, Boolean& more)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.Read()
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSqlClient.ExecuteQueryInternal(Boolean retryfordeadlock)
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSqlClient.ExecuteQuery(Boolean retryfordeadlock) ClientConnectionId:e6cdabb3-a778-4c47-8024-73913a538b51 Error Number:245,State:1,Class:16
So what I think is happening here, is that SharePoint is not stripping the comments anchor (#comments) from the post ID before it queries the database for all comments related to that post. SQL is expecting an integer - in this case "5", but
is instead getting "5#comments".
For the time being we are going to let users know not to click on the comments, but to click on the title instead. But we would like to correct this problem.
Is there a fix for this?
Thanks!

Hi,
In my environment, I do not encountered the error as yours. My environment has installed the 2014 December CU. I recommend you
to install the 2014 December CU or the latest CU for SharePoint 2013.

Can the Adobe Captivate logo in the viewer be removed?

The Adobe Captivate logo appears while the flash files are loading, which is okay, but it also appears while the file is playing.
Is this because we are still using the evaluation software? Will it disappear when we purchase a license?

Hi there
As described in the Frequently Encountered Issues topic we have created (click here to view) many folks ask the same thing. They somehow believe that Adobe has crippled Captivate in some way during the trial period. That isn't true. Captivate is fully operational.
What they have done is to configure the default set of Playback Controls and the default Preloader with the Captivate logo. As a Captivate author, you are free to change these if you like. For the playback controls, click Project > Skin Editor. For the Preloader, click Edit > Preferences > Project node > Start and End node.
Cheers... Rick

Path issue leaving me unable to add blog post content in design view

Hi guys,
I am unable to add blog post content in design view when a template is applied to my blog. BC support have told me they fixed the problem by making minor changes to the paths of the css and javascript files and then told me to post on here for the solution.
When I call the files using <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/custom.css" /> everything displays perfectly but in BC I can't add blog post content in design view. I can edit in html but this isn't ideal for clients to update the blog.
If I change the paths to <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/custom.css" /> it fixes the problem and I can then edit blog content in design view but all blog pages that are in folders display incorrectly. Only the main blog page display properly.
I'm sure the answer is simple but I can't find it so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Pete

I took a look at your page URL and can't find any CSS issues or styles that would directly affect you editing/adding content to a blog post via the content editor.
Make sure you either clear your cache or try in another browser to see if the problem is localized to your current browser.
If you still have the problem can you link me to a screencast (you can use Jing if you don't have a screencast program: http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html) of what you are experiencing?

Display only a part of a blog post in the summary view

Hello,
Has anyone come across an effective way to set the size, either by pixels or the number of characters, that is displayed for blog posts in the summary view? I'm working with a blog that has some very lengthy posts, and we want to reduce the amount that people
have to scroll down the page on the homepage of the blog.
It's worth noting that I've come across a couple different potential solutions, but have had issues because the body of the post is an "enhanced rich text" field.
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Bogan,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display only a part of the blog post in the summary view.
I recommend to edit the homepage in SharePoint Designer and modify the XSLT to achieve your goal.
Here is a link for you to refer:

Having some issues tweaking the Blog Post List Layout to output to adobe Muse

Please see my question progression here from Muse side:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/5109260
So basically, I have watched the videos on BC Gurus and have posed the question on modifying the blog module in muse to get output I want. when I use module {module_blogsitepost} it does not show all the information I want, but when I click a url to a blog post, it jumps to another page that shows the "BLOG TITLE", "BLOG DESCRIPTION", "RECENT POST", TAGS, and "ARCHIVE" which I think would be helpful on the main {module_blogsitepost} module.
So, i took the tags from the "OVERALL BLOG LIST MODULE" which does have that information and pasted into the module {module_blogsitepost} which in BC under modules is Blog Post List Layout. However the output just turns to the image below:
I really do not know what I am doing wrong, if anything at all. Is this a limit of the cooperation between adobe MUSE and BC? Should not make a difference if I am copying all the HTML and passing it into the HTML view of the Module I want. Why is there not a bracket { } module for "OVERALL BLOG LIST MODULE" on the http://kb.worldsecuresystems.com/134/bc_1345.html ?
It is strange that there are modules in BC that do not show code strings to generate the output shown on this list? Is it because this capability is limited? It is strange. Please jump over to my site ( http://furnitureassemblyservice.com/blog.html ) to see what I mean. BTW, I added the Tags Module to the site so that at least shows.
One other question.. And maybe this is a Muse question, I try to add text or objects to the side of the blog entry but they are pushed to the bottom? Not sure if I need to add this into an object with the Module and mark it up in html with a table to make that work? I ask because I am trying to monitize the blog and add banners to the side or top.
Thank you for the time.

The recommended practice is to call preventDefault on the dragStart event.

Adobe Captivate 4 "Blue Screen" on editing "Preferences"

Hi there,
I am using a professional license for Adobe Captivate 4, from work. So it's not a personal copy and I cannot just do a clean install without difficulty.
Anyway, I was using the system fine, and taking an online training about the tool, and half way through my application will now "blue screen of death" when ever I click on "preferences" for even a blank, brand new project.
I've searched through the forum, this site and googled for it, and the only solutions I can find are to update drivers (which I've done with the help of IT support), update firmware etc which is already up to date, and lastly - to delete the captivate folder, reboot and start again.
None of these have worked. Has anyone else ever had an issue like this?
Do I need a clean install? (this would be a pain as I cannot directly install it myself).
Thanks!

Try deleting the Captivate preferences file - captivate_v40.dat - found at ..\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Captivate. This would probably solve your problem.
(in Win XP go to Start - Run and then type %APPDATA% to open up the correct directory. In Vista / Win7 type %APPDATA% in Start - Search)

Why is the download "Not applicable" for my online purchase of Adobe Captivate 8 Student and Teacher Edition for Mac?

I purchased “Adobe Captivate 8 Student and Teacher Edition” for Mac on 7/31/14 and it is now 12/17/14 (only 5 months later) but it is showing as “Not applicable” when I go to download (maybe re-download) the program. I understood that I would be able to use the application on 2 computers, one at home and one at work. I think I’ve downloaded the program at home one time but have yet to install and activate it. I now have a new computer at work that can support that program and want to install the program on my office computer, but cannot download it again. Please advise.

It seems like that you have purchased a subscription for Captivate 8. In subscription you do not require any serial number. Subscriptions are activated on the basis of your Adobe Id. When user will install Captivate he has to sign in with the same Adobe Id under which they bought subscription. It will get activated after successful sign in during the installation.
As far as the installer is concern there is no difference in the trial version installer or purchased version installer. The installer is same for trial and purchased copy. All user needs to do is sign in during the installation if it is a subscription or use his serial number if it is a perpetual license or volume license.
You may download the trial version from the link mentioned above and then use your Adobe Id to activate the subscription.
Please let me know in case you need any further information.

Rajeev.

Template breaks when viewing Blog Post Details Layout

I've made a new ECommerce site with my own template (HTML en CSS). On the Blog Post List is my new template. But when I click on the title or permalink, Then my template breaks and all I see is the text from my template and the blog post detail. What can I do?
Regards,
A.H. Bakker

Yes, just as I suspected. A lot of your CSS, JS and IMAGE assets are referenced incorrectly in your page template or page.
Right now, in your page template you are referecing IMG elements with a "relative URL":
<img src="images/myimage.jpg"/>
That will work fine on the homepage and first-level pages like "/" and "/blog" because the browser will attempt to load:
http://yoursite.com/images.myimage.jpg
But, if like on your blog detail pages which are located deeper in the websites folder structure "/blog/nog-maar-eentje" since this URL places you on the "nag-maareetje" page inside the "blog" folder, your relative URL will lead the browser to try and load
http://yoursite.com/blog/myimage.jpg
That is not the correct location for our images folder which is directory in the site's root folder. To avoid this issue, you need to update your references to all images that's SRC attribute start with "images/" and change it to a "site relative URL" simply by prepending a "/" at the beginnging of the SRC attribute:
<img src="/images/myimage.jpg"/>
You'lll need to replicate this process for your CSS and Javascript references too. CSS references will look like:
<link href="css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Becomes:
<link href="/css/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
And javascript:
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/lib.js"></script>
Becomes
<script type="text/javascript" src="/js/lib.js"></script>
Anywhere that a reference to a javascript, stylesheet or image starts without a slash, "/" and just begins with the folder or asset ("images/...", "myimage.jpg") are relative URLs. You'll also see URLs that are absolute and those are URLs in your code that start with "http://yoursite.com" or "http://yoursite.businesscatalyst.com". Those you don't have to worry about since they are absolute and won't get mucked up when you are trying to load those from page within your site.
After you edit your page templates you might need to fix the same problem in your pages that are in a subfolder of your site.
