Button to flag a topic as 'solved'

Is it an idea to provide every topic with a button to flag it [SOLVED]?
I know you could edit the original post title if you are the original author, but many people still seem to forget/not know about this option.
If this is done in future there can be a possibility to search (more accurate) for solved/unsolved topics.
Opinions?

You could hang a name on the tagger so that everybody would know who flagged it to be solved/(unsolved again) and malicious users can be banned.
But let's stick with the original user first.
Isn't the idea of a button instead of having to edit your orinial post-title simpler and better (in the end)?
I think more people would actually make use of it.
For beginners it becomes more obvious that/how one should flag a topic solved plus it's easier to have a search for (earlier solutions to) your question before you post it (again and again)...
For more expirienced users it is allways nice to know an anwer solved a problem or topics still need (your) help.

  • Checked menu button upon completion of topic

    We would like to use the menu button/checked state to
    indicate that a topic has been completed and have the checkmark
    appear (when the course is bookmarked) if a student returns to the
    course later. I have tried to do this but ran into problems. The
    checked state appears when the user access the first frame of the
    topic and disappears when the next topic is selected. We do not
    want it the checkmark to appear until the user has completed the
    last frame in the topic being reviewed. I know that there should be
    a logical way to use a calc icon/variable to tell the button when
    to display the checked button state. I tried putting in an active
    if: variable (in the button properties) but the entire button
    greyed out . There must be a way to indicate that the checked
    button state only becomes active when frame xx has been opened.
    The LMS is reading our bookmarked locations -- but the
    symbols are not showing when the user returns to the course.
    Previously we have done this using separate graphic icons
    & variables with our topic menu in a map icon to the right of
    the nav framework. In this course, the menu topics/buttons are
    inside the framework icon along with the nav buttons, so they
    remain on the screen at all times.
    Any suggestions? We have tried several different flowlines
    without success.
    The variables we are using:
    I have a bullseye icon (indicates partial completion of
    topics /checkmark (completed topic) icons that appear using the
    following variables: bullseye appears with the following variable
    if CS0004 BE:=1 then
    CS0004 BE:=2
    end if.
    the checkmark should appear when CS0004BE:-=3.
    The bullseye/checkmark icons are contained in a decision icon
    on the flowline above the framework icon that holds the topic
    frames.
    The first topic frames begins with the calc icon/varibale
    that sets the bullsekye. exanole: if CS0004 BE:=1 then
    CS0004 BE:=2
    end if.
    The last topic frame holds the calc icon/variable
    CS0004BE:-=3.. But the checkmark does not appear. I
    I have moved a checkmark graphic below the calc icon as a
    work around in the last topic frame. It tracks the course
    completion fine for the user while they are in the course but if
    they exit/bookmark & return, the checkmarks are not retained.
    The LMS (Pathlore) does however show the completed topics.
    I have looked through this forum but not found anything
    similar to this problem. I am new to this level of authorware
    programming but learning fast.
    Thanks,
    Diane

    What I do is set a variable on the last page of the lesson.
    This variable is
    also tracked in a database for when the student returns to
    the course. On my
    main menu I use a Decision icon that checks that variable,
    and if it
    indicates that the lesson was completed, the Decision path
    places a graphic
    of a checkmark next to the menu item (don't forget to set the
    path's
    property to Do Not Erase). I don't use the checked property
    at all.

  • Custom Button Rendering/Disabling with Velocity Templates [SOLVED]

    I have a custom button in my application that I only want to show up on specific pages and I can't seem to figure out a EL expression that will let me disable or not render the button on the following criteria,
    - The velocity template will be installed on tableForm configured groups.
    - I only want the button to be activated/visable when in the 'Details' view for a specific row
    - When the group has insertions permitted.
    I have tried to steal some code from the *.vm files for other buttons and items used by JHeadstart, but none of the expressions seem to be solving my problem. I have always found the Data Binding through EL Expressions with the ADF very confusing to work with so any guidance would be greatly appreciated. (Is there a way to 'debug' EL expressions to see the actual data that is available to me at any given time?)
    Thanks.

  • Policy on bumping topics? [SOLVED]

    Hello,
    Every forum seems to have a different way of approaching bumping. Right now I'm really just not getting the answer I need (nor any answers at all), so I've bumped the topic very sparingly (like every 3 days or so). I've already bumped it 2 times. I can't find the Rules or FAQ so I wanted to ask what the rules on bumping are. I would really like my problem to at least be addressed, but it just keeps getting ignored. I won't go into my problem here as this is not the correct forum and there's already a topic.
    The topic in question is this:

    The Forum Etiquette has a rule on bumping:

    Your post could do with some more information (that you would have ideally included in one of the bumps); namely, what have you tried (custom asound.conf) and where else have you looked/asked (irc). If the card is particualrly new, then talking to the alsa people would make sense.

  • Very Simple C question - reading input parameters/flags... [SOLVED]

    This is an extremely simple question. Please forgive me for being a noob. I am writing an application in C (with GCC) called GAPE and need to be able to pass it parameters through a shell script (/usr/bin/gape) that can determine how it runs. To start with easy stuff, I want the end-user to be able to type "gape -V" to output the version of the program. How do I do that? I understand that I need to put the shell script in /usr/bin...where should I put the actual gcc-compiled gape application? Or do I even need a shell script? Can I just put the GAPE binary in /usr/bin and pass parameters to it directly? If so, how do I do that in C? Any help is greatly appreciated.

    A very simple program that prints the parameters
    And yes, you can put the program in /usr/bin/ without a shellscript

  • [SOLVED] Blank windows while they should have content.

    Hi,
    I have a major issue, I experience it all the time with BlueJ (which is a Java learning environment I have to use for the university)
    I don't think it's application related since I also encouterd it in Geany (which I can't say if still occurs since I stopped using).
    As I said, I should be getting content in the window but instead I get a blank window (example Image added).
    I'm using gnome with Compiz and emerald.
    I will be more than glad to get your help.
    Thank you.

    Thanks for the architecture comments. I'm interested in this topic because ALARM brought me to arch (although I've replaced the raspberry pi with an Intel-based machine now).
    Well, I'm afraid of starting some kind of flame war by suggesting this officially as a lowly arch noob. I'll leave it up to the people who might profit by something like this (i.e. ALARM – or maybe they don't care and are fine with the current solution, in which case the change is not required at all). For the record, I like the glob solution. It's more flexible than just 'all' and it's easier to memorize the difference between 'any' and '*' compared to 'any' and 'all'.
    It turned out the "adding users" topic is not an issue, because I realized I can simply set "User=nobody / Group=audio" in the systemd unit file to get rid of root privileges while keeping the permission to play audio without logging in. I also set up a minimal Arch VM to test if gnome-icon-theme can be dropped. I found no problems without that package, so I think I'm now ready to upload the modified PKGBUILD (and related files) to the AUR.
    I'll flag this topic as solved. Feel free to add more comments though. Thanks everyone

  • Problem while hide a block on selection screen on button press

    Hi,
    I have added two buttons on the application toolbar of the selection screen. I have input fields under two blocks on the selection-screen. Initially the second block is hidden. If I press the button 1 the second block should be made visible.
    For this to happen, I captured the button 1 click event using the following statement.
    IF sscrfields-ucomm = 'FC01'.
    Inside the if ... endif, I looped at the screen and made the second block visible. It was working fine.
    loop at screen.
      if screen-group4 = '013'.
         screen-invisible = 1.
         screen-active    = 0.
      endif.
    endloop.
    Later the second button was added. Now when i run the report for the first time, if button 2 is clicked the hidden block appears on the selection screen even though i have not added any code for it.
    Just to check, i commented the logic to display the hidden block on button 1 click event. Even without any code the first time i press any of the two buttons added on the application toolbar the hidden block is displayed.
    I saved a variant for the report.
    During execution of the report, if i select any variant then the hidden block is displayed.
    Can anyone please tell me how to fix this problem.
    Regards,
    T2.

  • Custom Buttons in WebHelp Skin

    Hi all,
    I am trying to add a button to my WebHelp version of my
    project to enable readers to print the current topic. In my skin
    editor, I managed to add a custom button, Print, with an image
    entered window.print() in the JavaScript onClick field that is
    provided (this is a standard JS call that prints the window). After
    updating the view in the Skin Editor, the button is displayed, but
    after re-generating the WebHelp layout, I can't see my new button.
    I thought maybe the Advanced tab's Dependancies list might have
    something to do with it, but I am not sure what it is for exactly.
    Is there a trick to adding custom buttons to skins to get them to
    display in the generated format?
    Thanks in advance for your thoughts,
    darkagn

    Hi Captiv8r and thankyou for the super-fast response :)
    Your reply allowed me to add the custom button to my skin.
    However, the window.print() function only prints the area
    with the buttons, not the topic itself. So I thought I'd re-post
    and explain how I actually solved the problem of printing topics in
    WebHelp in case anyone else needed the same info.
    I ended up adding a button to the template that all of my
    topics are derived from, in the footer so that the button remained
    below the topic itself. I had to add the button in the HTML editor
    with the following code:
    <form style="text-align: right; padding-right: 10px;">
    <input id=printbutton type=button onClick="window.print()"
    value="Print Topic" style="width: 90px;">
    </form>
    Now, because the Print button appears in the same area of the
    screen as the topic itself, the call to window.print() prints
    everything in that frame (which unfortunately includes the button
    itself, but this is a small price to pay to be able to print topics
    from WebHelp).
    Anyway, I hope this solution helps someone out
    there...

  • Error :  Business partner has status "Flagged for Archiving"

    Hi All,
    I have error in order: Business partner (Sold to Party) .has status "Flagged for Archiving"
    I removed the Click "Archiving Flag" from BP and I changed the order.
    But still error is not going.
    Can somebody suggest what to do for removing this error?
    Regards
    Jay

    Hi Jay,
    Follow these steps :
    1. Go to Transaction BUPA_PRE_DA.
    2. In the relevant fields, enter the BP number, mark the radio button for 'To be archived' , check the 'Reset Flag' check box.
    3. Uncheck the 'test run' check box.
    4. Execute.
    This will reset the archiving flag.
    Hope this solves your problem.
    Cheers,
    Rishu.

  • Cannot completely disable a dimmed command button

    Hi! Everyone,
    I thought this topic was solved before, but it comes back to me again.
    Please take a look at the code in the attached project.
    If the call of "Delay(5)" is placed after "ProcessSystemEvents()" call in the A_Callback() function, B-LED always light up no matter what!? 
    Dimming or making button B invisible doesn't disable the command button at all. 
    Only when I place the "Delay(5)" call in front of the "ProcessSystemEvents()", the B button will be disabled.
    Just by dimming button B, without "ProcessDrawEvents()" and "ProcessSystemEvents()", won't guarantee the button is disabled.
    I'm puzzled.  What is the correct way of completely disable a command button?
    Does this problem only happen in CVI 6.0?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Whether or not you need to call ProcessSystemEvents to ignore clicks on a button depends on what you are doing at the time and when you will undim the control.  The original question came up when the button was being dimmed and undimmed in a callback.
    CVI defers processing of events while you are in a callback.  If you're not currently in a callback, a click event will be processed when it occurs.  If the control is dimmed when that click occurs, (again, outside of a callback), the event will be processed and ignored and you don't need ProcessSystemEvents.
    Or if you dim the control from within a callback, then click on the control, then exit the callback without undimming the control, the event will be processed with the control dimmed and will therefore be ignored (without needing ProcessSystemEvents).
    So the big question is when will you undim the control?  If you undim it at the end of a long callback, then you need to call ProcessSystemEvents.
    But if, for example, you open a panel with a control dimmed, and then undim it after some other event, you don't need ProcessSystemEvents to ignore the click.
    Let's say you have a panel with a control for the user to select a filename, and a button to print the selected file.  You don't want Print to be active until the file is selected, so it's dimmed initially by default.  In a callback for the filename control, after the user selects a file, you can then undim the Print button without needing to call ProcessSystemEvents.  Any click on the previously dimmed Print button will have already been ignored.

  • How can I open a URL from a Custom Button in a second help window?

    I have a custom button, which currently opens a URL in a web
    browser, using a redirect page. How can I change this so that it
    opens in a second help window instead? If I understand some of the
    posts I've read, it is possible by linking the button to a related
    topics function but I've no idea how this is done.
    As usual, your help is most appreciated. Thanks a lot.

    Hi, ecoulyn,
    You need to make a topic file like the one below the target
    of the Jump button.
    The onLoad function on the Body start-tag causes the Related
    Topics command to fire when the topic file is loaded in the topic
    pane. When specifying the file name of the topic to display in the
    secondary window, you must always prepend it with the name of your
    .chm file, followed by "::/". Otherwise, an error message appears
    when the Jump button is clicked.

  • Add Button to GUI STATUS Application toolbar

    Hi,
    I have to add a button in the application toolbar of a gui status. I have done that many times before, but I never got into trouble like this time....
    When I open the Gui status and the tree for the application toolbar, I can see already set buttons. When I now click on change (a modification warning comes) and press the plus-icon, it is possible to enter a new item. But everything I´m typing, I get the message Function code XXXX has not been assigned to a function key. I have never got this before....
    When I now go to SE41 and enter a new function key, I can´t use it either afterwards as a button in the application toolbar.
    In the tree of the function keys, I can´t change anything...
    What can I do here? The program name is SAPMZLCG, so it has been modified sometimes. But how can I change the GUI STATUS now to add a new button?
    Thank you!

    You need to goto the application toolbar and the add your text to the items and click below the text you will get one popup which will ask for static text and dynamic text. select statictext and then add all the information like text name and if you want to add an icon you can do it aswell. the there will be another popup for fuction attributes where you will be able to find some options loke fuction types and reaction need to select all that and then click on the ok button and save check and activate the same and after that activate and check whether the button is visible or not. once the button is visible then you need to check for the ok_code and sy_ucomm and then insert the fuctionality of the button.
    I hope this might solve your problem.
