Bug when using Tab Images

Hi
I'm trying to use Tab Images in APEX 4.0.1, but have hit a couple of bugs.
Firstly, I'm using the substitution string #TAB_IMAGE# in the page template. This is described in the help as "Image File Name", however this is replaced with the full image tag. I believe the help text is very misleading in this instance.
Secondly, and this is by far the bigger problem, the img tag that replaces #TAB_IMAGE# has the image prefix hard coded into the src! So if the Current Tab Image for my tab is set to http://www.example.com/images/tab1.png then the source for the image in my case is /i/http://www.example.com/images/tab1.png which is incorrect.
This means that images for tabs MUST always be in the directory referenced by the #IMAGE_PREFIX# substitution string.
Am I missing something here? Is there a workaround? Currently we are unable to use Tab Images due to this.
Many thanks
Sara

Hello Sara,
The behavior you are describing is a long time known issue. It is a bug that should have been resolved by now, but for some reason was not. Maybe it’s because none of the default (built-in) page templates is using images with TABs.
The workaround is to create your own img tag in the appropriate page template section, using the #TAB_NAME# substitution string. The principle is to name your corresponding images like current_#TAB_NAME#.gif and non_current_#TAB_NAME#.gif, where the #TAB_NAME# part in the file name is replaced with the actual tab name. So, for a TAB called EMP, you’ll have two image files by the names current_EMP.gif and non_current_EMP.gif.
Regards,
Arie.

  • When using Tab Groups, is less power/memory used or is it the same as when all the tabs are opened in the task bar?

    When using Tab Groups, is less power/memory used or is it the same as when all the tabs are opened in the task bar?

    it's just another View for your tabs which needs less *space* in the taskbar, but same *memory* of your computer.
    exception: if you (re)start FF and restore the last session (with lots of tabs/groups) there is an option in FF-Settings to load the (content of the) tabs only as soon as they are clicked, and not as soon as FF starts. That trick saves memory.

  • How to change gtk theme dialog box button appearance when using tab?

    Hi,
    I'm using candido as my gtk theme and have noticed that when a dialog box pops up (Yes / No), it is extremely difficult to tell which option is highlighted. How do I change this appearance? I searched through the gtkrc and even used gimp to manipulate the images used via trial and error to see if I found one that worked. Can someone familiar with gtk themes tell me which gtkrc or image to alter to affect this appearance?
    I use tab to select my option a ton and hate not being able to tell what I'm looking at.
    For reference,
    - here is the current look (can you tell which one is highlighted? It's "Cancel" -- just slightly bigger or a fine line around it) LINK
    - here is the gtkrc if that helps? LINK
    For one more point of clarification, I'm not talking about the button appearance on mouseover. I have identified that the button-prelight.png file changes that. I specifically am talking purely about a dialog popping up and then using the tab key alone to highlight through the options. I really like this theme, but this one thing drives me crazy. This appearance changes when I select different themes with lxappearance, so I've narrowed it down to being a gtk-theme issue, not my openbox theme or icon set.
    Many thanks!

  • When using tabbed browsing, if I click to open a new tab, why will it not automatically load my homepage in the new tab instead of a blank window?

    I use tabbed browsing with the tab bar visible at all times so I can click on a new tab when convenient.Why can my homepage not load automatically on that newly opened tab insted of a blank screen with a search bar saying "you've opened a new tab".........well yeah. I have looked through the options and cannot find anything to open a new tab with the homepage. Is it possible? Have I missed it? If it's not possible, could you make it so?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I opened a new tab.....see above

    The default is to load a blank page.

  • How to stop a while loop when using tab control

    How do you use a tab contol to stop what is happening on one tab when you switch to another tab?  In the test example I attached, I have a while loop nested inside a case structure controlled by the tab control.  When I tab to page two the elapsed timer starts but when I switch to another tab it does not stop.  I can't come up with an easy way to stop or exit the while loop when I change tabs. 
    Thank you

    I played with it a little more and came up with this fix.  This fixes it but is not tied to the changing tabs as I was looking for.  Is this just too many nested loops and a bad idea?

  • Bug when using IBOT

    Hi all,
    has anyone had this kind of error?
    I am using IBOT, and I set Schedule_ to Start Date=21/09/2009, Time of Day=08:00, Set Time Zone=GMT+01:01, and Recurrence_ to Every 1 week(s) on  MON.
    When I look overview of this IBOT, everything is fine, but when I go Show IBOTs acting on my behalf Next Run is not date that I had set. And IBOT is not running in time that he should. But when I set Recurrence_ Daily Every 7 day(s) every thing is OK. IBOT is running and Next Run shows correct date and time.
    Thanks

    This looks the same as bug 5539348 "Schedule an iBot to run immediately and weekly, the immediate run doesn't take place". According to that bug when you say start immediately and run every 1 week you are actually saying start the schedule now not start the ibot?! So a schedule is created in the scheduler to run your ibot every week on Mon but it does not run it immediately.
    I think this is a bug with the weekly schedule though as setting it to 7 days seems to fix it. The bug database seems in infer that later releases of 10g fixed this problem so it might be worth upgrading to a newer patch release if it becomes a problem and seeing if this fixes it.

  • Strange UI bug when using People view/face recognition

    I've started playing with the face recognition in LR6/CC and have encountered an odd display bug when viewing the groups of 'named people':
    The thumbnail for each named person includes a count of how many images (or perhaps that should be faces) are attributed to their specific name. However, once the number of images for a person exceeds 100, LR only displays the first two digits in the thumbnail and drops off the third one, e.g. 254 is displayed as 25. If you hover over the thumbnail, the full count (e.g. 254) is displayed so long as the mouse cursor is kept on the thumbnail. Interestingly, once the number of images attributed to a named person exceeds 1000, it does the same thing, only it adds an extra digit (so 1400 becomes 140).
    I'm running this on Win7.
    Anyone else seeing this?

  • GPU Mode crash when using 1024x1024px images on iPad Retina with cacheAsBitmapMatrix

    So I am building a menu for a mobile app and I have created a sliding menu with tiles, I have done this before, all works great normally.
    This time, my tiles were really close to the power of 2 ( 1024x1024px ) so I decided to use that size and resize my tiles to that for performance gains.
    So the setup is this:
    GPU Mode active, 7 movieclips with 3 frames each, PNG images in those movieclips sized at 1024x1024px. So that's 21 png images.
    I need to use the cacheAsBitmapMatrix feature for full smooth performance and when I do, it crashes on the Retina device when loading 1024x1024px images.
    On non-retina devices I load the lower resolution assets ( 512x512px) and that works perfectly fine with the cacheAsBitmapMatrix on. On the iPad 1 it runs super smooth.
    So I started playing around with the different render modes:
    No crashing on CPU mode and no crashing on DIRECT mode, only on GPU setting.
    The retina device is NOT out of memory, it does not do anything really heavy. It just loads in these movieclips in a sliding menu, and tweens their alpha, scaleX and scaleY ( which is not part of the issue as it crashes without this too ).
    In summary:
    1024x1024px images inside of movieclip containers crash an iPad Retina device when using cacheAsBitmapMatrix.
    The fix I have found is to just lower the image size a tiny bit: from 1024px to 1016px, it resolves the crash and makes everything work perfect.
    So, what do you guys think this could be? I tried with previous versions of AIR (3.7,3.8) and it happens on those versions too. I am using the latest beta of AIR 3.9.

    I have not had that happen to me, so I can only speculate, but here are some questions that might help us narrow down the problem.
    1. Were the slides created on your ipad, or did you create the presentation on your mac/pc & then import it onto the ipad for presenting?
    2. You said When not using Keynote projected images are sharp." Does that mean that the same images used in the presentation display fine on the same projector when you open them in Phoots or another app?
    3. Is it only the images on the slide that are compressed, or does it impact text as well?
    If you run the presentation on your ipad, not connected to any outside screens, dothe pictures show up normally, or are they compressed then as well?
    Like I said, I havent' had this happen to me. My first guess (without knowing any of the details) is that maybe the presentation was created on another device & it was not set to display as 1024 x 768, but at some other aspect ratio, and since that it what the iPad displays at, it is compressing the slides to fit.

  • Very slow when using "Save Image as..."

    When I try to use "save image as...", firefox almost always hangs and then eventually downloads the file, then returns control to me, whereas before firefox 5, this was instantaneous and I could right click and save on several in succession without the long delay...please help??

    As an addendum, the 10.6.8 OS has also been sluggish when I log in or out of my computer (my old PowerBook G4 boots faster after being off).  Otherwise, everything else seems normal.

  • Potential bug when using Parsley 2.4.1 and Cairngorm's module 0.17 in Flex 4.5.1

    Hi
    I have an issue when using cairngorm's ModuleViewLoader along with ParsleyModuleDescriptor to load a simple module consistig mainly of HBoxes, VBoxes and Datagrids.
    The module consists of one child (let's call it ViewA) and that child consists of several children as its components.
    When I use cairngorm's ModuleViewLoader along with the ParsleyModuleDescriptor and Parlsey to inject the modulemanager in my main app, the module loads, as well as ViewA but some nearly all of ViewA's children are not loaded (in fact they're initialized but creationComplete is not invoked).
    When I use Flex's mx:ModuleLoader all ViewA's chikldren are initialized and creation complete is also invoked.
    I will attach the source as a zip file  later on....
    but for now...this is all I can give http://dpaste.com/713503/
    Thanks
    Andreas

    Did you ever find an answer to this?  I am running into the same issue with needing to upgrade parsley to 2.4.x, but with parts of application heavily relying on cairngorm module, upgrading it from module-0.11 to 0.17 seems to break compile! 

  • Data refresh bug when using inheritance?

    I am getting unexpected behaviour when using the pm.refresh(Object) method.
    Refresh works correctly and reloads data if the lock has been updated on
    tables/objects with no inheritance. However, if I try to use refresh on an
    object that is part of an inheritance hierarchy, the query that is executed
    to get the jdolockx value is missing the table join.
    Example:
    Table Entity
    id
    displayname
    jdolockx
    jdoclassx
    Table Individual (inherits from Entity)
    id
    firstName
    lastName
    jdolockx
    Query executed when calling refresh and passing in Individual
    SELECT
    t0.JDOLOCKX
    FROM
    ENTITY t0,
    INDIVIDUAL t1
    WHERE
    t1.ID = 1151
    Problem
    Missing crucial join t1.ID = t0.ID
    These classes work correctly with correct SQL when inserting/selecting.

  • Anychart: Bug when using chart template and Javascript

    Hi all,
    When I create a chart using custom xml and a template -
    <templates path="#IMAGE_PREFIX#Chart_templates/my_chart_template.xml"/>If I call toggle a series using some javascript:
       var chart = getChart(); // function created by the chart embedding javascript to capture a reference to the chart object
       chart.showSeries('population_average', $('input[is_series_toggle="true"]').is(':checked'));
       chart.refresh();The series is toggled correctly but the chart is refreshed without applying the chart template, so it looks ugly.
    Anychart claim this is an Apex specific issue because Apex uses a special build of Anychart? Anyone else encountered this problem and have a workaround. Or any other suggestions would be welcome.

  • Javascript bug when switching tabs

    Hello,
    I'm developing a simple web site with an image slideshow on the front page. The slideshow is powered by javascript and are using javascript's "setTimeout" function to toggle between images with a jQuery animation. However, when I switch to another tab and wait for a while, then switch back, it seems like all animations that should have been run in the background has been queued up and then runs simultaneously as soon as I switch back to the original tab. Basically it freaks out for a few seconds when all stacked up animations are run, and then it goes back to the normal behaviour.
    Is this a bug or a feature? And if it's a feature, how would you suggest that I code my javascript to avoid this problem?

    See Additional Notes -section of JQuery's animate-function documentation
    Because of the nature of requestAnimationFrame(), you should never queue animations using a setInterval or setTimeout loop. In order to preserve CPU resources, browsers that support requestAnimationFrame will not update animations when the window/tab is not displayed.
    '''If you continue to queue animations via setInterval or setTimeout while animation is paused, all of the queued animations will begin playing when the window/tab regains focus.'''
    To avoid this potential problem, use the callback of your last animation in the loop, or append a function to the elements .queue() to set the timeout to start the next animation.

  • IPhoto 11 bug when using external editor (Photoshop Elements)

    In iPhoto 11, my iPhoto database is confused/corrupted whenever I edit a picture in my external editor (Photoshop Elements 8). I believe this is an iPhoto problem because the picture is not corrupted until I quit iPhoto try to re-open the edited version.
    Steps I take:
    1. Pick a file, and "Edit in External Editor". Duplicate of the file is made (ThisPic.jpg becomes ThisPic_2.jpg), and that duplicate is opened in PSE. I edit the photo in PSE, and hit Save - PSE updates ThisPic_2.jpg. I close PSE, go back to iPhoto, and I can do whatever I want to the file - double click to view larger, export, everything seems fine. When I pick "File | Reveal in Finder" and use either the "modified file" or "original file" option, they take me to ThisPic_2.jpg in the finder.
    2. Close iPhoto
    3. Re-open iPhoto
    4. Now, that file seems to be corrupt in iPhoto. I can see the thumbnail image for ThisPic_2.jpg, but nothing else works. I double click on the file, and I get a black screen with a triangle and an exclamation point in it. When I try to export the file, nothing happens.
    The interesting thing is when I go into "File | Reveal in Finder". When I pick the "modified file", it doesn't seem to find it - I am shown the root of my hard drive in the finder. But when I pick "original file", it takes me to ThisPic_2.jpg, and I can use preview to see that my edits are still there.
    I copied that file to the desktop, re-imported it into iPhoto, and I can access that photo again through iPhoto - everything works, even after I close and re-open iPhoto.
    I reported this through the iPhoto Feedback option. I thought I'd share what I found in case it helps anyone else.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I get the same response when I follow your workflow. If you select the thumbnail of that photo and use the Photos ➙ Revert to Original menu option you will be able to view the photo in full size.
    Evidently editing in iPhoto with an external editor puts the edits on the duplicated original file and puts that file in the same Masters subfolder as the first file was imported into. Once iPhoto is restarted the links are messed up and the Revert gets rid of the "edited" link and keeps the link to the file in the Masters folder.
    It definitely is a bug. However, it's not taking up more space on the hard drive than the edit that resulted in a modified file linked to the original file. There still are just two files.
    Subsequent edits to the file with the external editor result is the edits being added to the file with no problems if iPhoto is closed and relaunched. The downside is that if you make 3 edits to the file you can't go back one edit. It's non reversible. The edited version can be deleted leaving the untouched original version.
    Subsequent edits to the same file with iPhoto work as usual, with a modified version being created.
    So Old Toad, I have just gone from iPhoto 9 to iPhoto 11 and step by step this is what is happening for me.
    In iPhoto 9 if I selected photoshop to alter an image it created one duplicate version of the image and put that into the modified folder and that edited image became the image you would see in the events viewer. All very logical.
    Now iPhoto 11 is doing the same for me but is creating multiple duplicates ie. everytime I select photoshop to edit an image. One image I edited recently has now got 6 versions in the library. If that is the way iPhoto works then that will be fine as it is doing it's job for me but the caviat is have I got 6 times the memory space being used up or does it just appear that way? If the memory space useage isn't being increased then I am OK with this new way of doing things but if the memory space is being used up then it is a fiasco - especially as apple are concentrating on writing their systems to use up less space than before in line with current thinking.
    Look forward to you clarifying this point if you can.
