Bug in 4.1.1: Region Title translations is lost

Hello, apex team and Joel Kallman.
This is my second bug report with translations today.
REGION TITLE TRANSLATIONS IS LOST WITH APEXexport AND APEX_APPLICATION_INSTALL COMBINATION.
My environment:
Oracle XE 11g Linux 64bit.
Apex 4.1.1.
Development app 110.
Production app 111.
en-us - primary lang
es - secondary
ru - secondary
How to reproduce:
Export app 110 with bash command:
$ java oracle.apex.APEXExprt -db xxx.private:1521:XE -user apex_040100 -password `cat secret.txt` -applicationid 110 -skipExportDate -expTranslations
Import with this script (as apex_040100 user)
declare
l_workspace_id number;
begin
select workspace_id into l_workspace_id
from apex_workspaces
where workspace = 'PROD';
apex_application_install.set_workspace_id( l_workspace_id );
apex_application_install.set_application_id(111);
apex_application_install.generate_offset;
apex_application_install.set_schema( 'PROD' );
apex_application_install.set_application_alias( 'FPROD_APP' );
end;
@../f110.sql
Then SEED and PUBLISH in Apex Builder.
At this point Region Title translations is lost for every region in app.
Workaround:
I use blog post "Moving your XLIFF files" by Joel Kallman on YABAOAE from the very first day it was published.
http://joelkallman.blogspot.com/2010/07/moving-your-xliff-files.html
It is only way to use DEV and TEST/UAT env. on the same database with translated apps. Thanks to Joel.
If it is not a bug, please, explain me better way to workaround it for me.
Vladimir

Hi Vladimir,
Thanks for reporting this issue as well.
I filed this as Bug 13801807. I researched this and understand what the issue is. But I need to think carefully about what would be the best solution for it. I'll report back to this thread with an answer.

How to escape special characters in a region title

I have created a drill down report where the second report is filtered by a value chosen in the first report. I am using &Pn_field. syntax to pass the name of the select value to the region title of the second report. Some of the returned values have a ':' in them and therefore the text does not print after the ':'. How do I escape the ':' in the region title?
regards
Paul P

Paul,
I think your question is "How do I use f?p URL syntax to pass data values to a page where the data includes a colon?" (Please correct me if that's not the issue.) The answer is, you can't. Same with commas. HTML DB reserves those two characters for the f?p request syntax. You'll have to save the string into the item before the page branch. There is no restriction on what characters can be used in a region title, it's just HTML-formatted text, except that you must escape anything that looks like HTML unless you want the browser to treat it as HTML. There are restrictions, however, on what characters you can pass in URLs in general and you must take care to escape them properly, e.g., ?, &, whitespace.
And do speak up if I've missed the point.

How to change a region title based upon the input parameter?

Hi All,
I need to change the region's title dynamically based on the value of a select list in another region.
Can anyone help me in this?
Regards,
Sakthi.

Hi,
You can use &P1_ITEM_NAME. (including the & and the .) in a region title - this string will be replaced by the value from the page item called P1_ITEM_NAME, so change the name to suit your page item

Region Title substitution string

hi, i am trying to use &TITLE. in a region header as was expecting to see the title of the region shown ? it does not (apex 3.2)
however the template for the region has this and it works fine..
can someone help ?
thanks
a

Thanks.
This is what I am trying to do.
I have a (whole) bunch of Anychart 5 charts in a page in different regions with their own title and there are many pages like this.
I have the region titles inside the chart too.
as in
<pre>
Region Title
| Region Title |
| |
| |
| | <----- This is the chart
| |
| |
|___________________________________|
</pre>
The XML for all these charts are the same, except for the title.
So I created an application level item and moved the XML without the title tag into it and just refer the item in the custom XML.
This way I make changes in one XML block.
(title is useful when some one wants to save the chart as an image) (Note: #DATA# is part of the XML, the value I push into this item)
If I can get a handle on the region title, I could push that in the XML as a variable (and not code to generate the XML in)
At this point (except for saving the chart as an image) I can get by with the titles being at the region level
and not inside the chart. But we are planning to move all of the charts into a dashboard and we might need the
titles inside or on top of the individual charts. ( I am also researching if the titles could go on the
hbox tags in Anychart XML, so this might not be necessary and also have come across some javascript in the past that copies the data elements
available inside a report, like total, to an item, that might work too.)
Hope that sheds some light on what I am trying to do.
Thanks

APEX 4.1.1, Region title as a link to an application page

Hello,
I have a page with a lot of regions where I'd like the Region Title be a link to a different page in the application so when the user clicks the Title they get redirected to that page.
I have seen a number of variables like APP_ID etc but I can't seem to figure out how to use them in this case.
Any good ideas on how to do this?
Regards,
Andy

You should be able to create a display only page item, P1_ITEM then populate that item with your link, then in the region title enter &P1_ITEM.
Include the dot.
I assume the region is setup to display the title.
PS - Create a hidden region that this page item will reside in so it doesn't display elsewhere on page.

Xss in a Region-Title like &Name.

Hi,
I have sort of a general question.
I have tried to manipulate a Region-Title like &Name. with a
JavaScirpt Statemante. When I paste the code
<script>alert('Hello world');</script>
directly in the Title-Field of the Region, it works.
But when I try to fill it from a text-field, it does not work.
So when I paste
<script>alert('Hello world');</script>
in a text-field named Text, and the Region-Title is &Text.,
it does not work.
The characters are escaped, but I don't know, why.
Does anyone knows, how I can make this work ?
ciao, Andre

Hello Andre,
>> The characters are escaped, but I don't know, why.
The APEX engine is automatically escaping the page fields, as part of its rendering process. This is to prevent XSS, which is a serious security breach.
>> Does anyone knows, how I can make this work ?
Well, as you are talking about a region title, you can still use the *&ITEM.* notation, just populate it in using an On Load – Before Header process.

Arie.

Dynamic Region Title

Hello,
I'm attempting to create a generic survey like application that can have a number of possible questions and instructions. I would also like for the region title of certain regions to be dynamic, or rather equaling the value of some item on the page. I did some digging on Google and found that this was apparently possible in Apex 3, but I'm currently working in Apex 4. Does anyone know of a way to do this?
Thanks

(I changed my handle but it's still displaying the number !!!!)
Edited by: 965010 on Oct 12, 2012 7:31 AMI don't know when it is executed. I've just created page item P4_POSITION and made it as SQL query.
Actually, value in the P4_POSITION_ID item is from POSITION_ID in EMPLOYEE table, which contains primary key EMPLOYEE_ID and has foreign key - POSITION_ID,
POSITION_ID is a primary key of POSITION table, which contains POSITION_NAME.
What I made is I created link from page 3 using EMPLOYEE_ID to redirect to page 4. There are all items in the page 4, which are in the EMPLOYEE table. But I need to show POSITION_NAME from POSITION table. So I created page item P4_POSITION as I mentioned before.
Do I need to create dinamic action or process before handling Region title?

Expand the Background Image to Cover the Entire Region Title

I have a region title that contains an image and it has a height of 2 rows but the background image (blue image) is not expanding in the area (the css contains repeat for the background). The application uses theme 2. Can someone help?
CSS:
.rc-title {
    background: url("../images/bg-region-blue-l.gif") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    float: left;
    width: 100%;
div.rc-blue-top
    background: url("../images/bg-region-blue-l.gif") repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    float: left;
    width: 100%;
}I created the application on APEX.ORACLE.COM:
Workspace: RGWORK
User: TESTER
Password: test123
Application : CSRSR (33558)
Select Signage from the menu (only choice).
You will see that one of the tabular forms has Nameplates and an image, another tablular form has an image but no text (Nameplates) even though it is there. I would live the blue to cover both the image and the text.
Please help

APEX 4.1
APEX 4.2 (APEX.ORACLE.COM) works the same way.

I would like to try the second option:

Another option would be to eliminate the problem by moving the nameplate images out of the region titles. There's horizontal space within the regions that will allow these images to be positioned to the left of the tabular forms, which would look OK.
But how do I reference the horizontal space within the regions? I looked at the template for the region:
<div class="rounded-corner-region float-left-100pct" id="#REGION_STATIC_ID#" #REGION_ATTRIBUTES#>
<div class="rc-blue-top"><div class="rc-blue-top-r">
<div class="rc-title">#TITLE#</div>
<div class="rc-buttons">#CLOSE##PREVIOUS##NEXT##DELETE##EDIT##CHANGE##CREATE##CREATE2##EXPAND##COPY##HELP#</div>
</div></div>
<div class="rc-body"><div class="rc-body-r"><div class="rc-content-main">#BODY#<br />
</div></div></div>
<div class="rc-bottom"><div class="rc-bottom-r"></div></div>
</div>and couldn't find out to put the image in the horizontal space.
Can you please help me by providing the details? There are two options, depending on the role you see the nameplate images playing on the page. I've used the two regions to provide one example of each.
*1. Nameplate as eye-candy:* If there's sufficient information in the region title, region content and item labels to make the nameplate images superfluous in providing information to the user, and you're just using them to improve the appearance of the page, then they can be applied purely using CSS.
/* Nameplate image as CSS eye-candy */
#nameplates-ndc div[id$="catch"] {
min-height: 36px;
padding-left: 113px;
background: transparent url(#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#nameplate_ndc.gif) top left no-repeat;
background-size: 103px;
}Note the use of the CSS3 <tt>background-size</tt> property to resize the image. If the app has to run in browsers that don't support this then you'll have to drop it and create an image of the exact size required for use in the <tt>background</tt> rule.
*2. Nameplate as content:* If the nameplate images are necessary to provide information to the user, then they have to be included in the region (and they must have an <tt>alt</tt> attribute providing an alternative representation of the information contained in the image).
Put the image in the region Header:
<img src="#APP_IMAGES#nameplate_n.gif" width="103" alt="Nameplate (name only)" />and float it so it sits alongside the form:
/* Nameplate image as page content */
#nameplates-name .rc-content-main img {
float: left;
margin-right: 10px;
}

Item substitution in region title

It looks to me like the help docs say that you can substitute for a region title like this -- &user.
When I do that all I get is &user printed on my report.
Am I doing this wrong?
Using version 1.3.6
Curt

Does this substitution syntax hold true when exporting the region to CSV? The CSV filename is automatically set as the parent region's title and but I need to include the date int that filename. I've created a hidden page item to hold my title, but when I use the &(ITEMNAME). syntax in the region title I just get &ITEMNAME. Any idea what I'm doing wrong, or how to achieve the desire effect by another method?

Computed Region TItles being Escaped in Apex 2.2

In Apex 2.0, HTML contained within a hidden item to be display in a Region's Title was not escaped. <BR>In Apex 2.2, the same information is now escaped and my computed Region titles are displaying HTML text, instead of the HTML.
I would like to be able to generate region titles instead of them just being fixed text.
Is there anything I can do here? It would be great if there was a way to unescape the Title.<BR>
Furthermore:<BR>
If I put the HTML directly into the Region Title, it displays fine. So the question is .... why does the info get escaped if it is in an item for display? You can imagine how long the region title will become if a few anchors are presented in the title.

Doug:
I agree, I think the help text is, in fact, stating the opposite of the observed behaviour.
Quoting When session state is referenced in this way, the value emitted to the page will have special characters (<, >, &, ") escaped if the referenced item has one of the following safe item display types:
But what we see is that if the referenced item is of type "Hidden", special characters *are* escaped. If the item is a "safe item", then, by definition, it cannot be tampered with, so there is no need to escape it on output!
What worries me is that such a major change was introduced in a minor patch release like 2.2 where even the export/import API version has not changed i.e. it is otherwise compatible in all aspects. I am sure this is going to cause Production applications at many customer sites to break because they rely on HTML markup in &ITEM. variables being rendered unchanged.

Refreshing icons to right of region title

Hi,
I have a number of icons to the right of my region title. These may well be for adding a new record, deleting all records etc.
The deleting all records icon is only shown if there are actually records shown in the report region, i.e. there are records to delete.
Using Skillbuilders modal page popup, I populate a record, and this uses the refresh region which means the region now shows the record. However, as discussed in numerous other discussions, the region title does not get refresh. I know I could use jQuery to change the region title, however I wish to effectively refresh the region title so that the delete all records icon appears if it was not already there.
So my senario is,
1. No records shown in report, so delete all records icon not displayed.
2. Use presses add record icon, and using modal page plugin, a new record is added.
3. Close modal page refreshes the region so that new record is displayed.
4. THIS IS THE PROBLEM - I need to refresh the region title as well so that the delete all records icon is now shown.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeremy.

Jezzer
Use the After Refresh event on the region to fire your dynamic action.
Using a javascript expression as when condition you can use a "add class" "remove class" to display or hide the delete icon.
Notice that the delete icon must always be rendered on the page to be able to show it after a region refresh.
I have done something similar in this demo. Change the number of rows in the regions to change the colour of the tabular form when it becomes below a threshold.

Display records returned for a query in the Report Region Title

Hi,
Is there any variable set that can be referenced to indicate how many records have been returned for a specific query. I have several hide/show regions dealing with various reports, and I would like to add a little info into the region title to display how many records there were returned for the report in this region.
Thx in Advance,
cliff

Hi,
addendum
These are simple sql queries BTW. I've seen posts alluding to the SQL%ROWCOUNT when using cursors. Is there any variable we can reference when using a simple sql query?
thx

Remove region title

Hello,
Is it possible to remove the region title from a SQL Query region type?
Regards.

sure that's possible. the title of your region is displayed when your region template uses the #TITLE# template substitution string. removing that substitution string from your current template or calling a template that doesn't use the #TITLE# substitution string should do the trick.

raj

Conditional Region Title

APEX 3.0, RDBMS 9.2.0.4
I have a report in one of my regions on a page.
I see from the forum there is a way to edit the report template and remove the region title for the report.
Is there a way to make the title conditonal? That is to display only when the report has actual data in it?
Thanks in advance,
Barry

First, it worked, and I thank you.
Not that I am complaining BUT ...
why doesn't the condition evaluate the region source query (below) and determine whether one row was returned.
select e.ename, e.empno, e.sal, d.deptno
from emp e, dept d
where e.deptno = d.deptno
and e.ename = :p1_ename
To be honest, I tried the EXISTS attribute in region condtion, but did not add the select statement you sugggested in Expression 1. My approach was not working and I figured I had it all wrong.
So, as instructed by your response, I set the condtion to EXISTS and added the folowing query in Expression 1 and it will conditionally display the region:
select 1 from emp e where e.ename = :p1_ename
Whyt does APEX make you put in two queries: one for the region source and one to evaluate whether the region should be conditional displayed?
I am sure there is a good reason and I am just curious.
Thanks again for your help.
Barry
