Column that displays a thumbnail shows red X if no thumbnail exists in IE

Hi,
I have a column that displays a thumbnail jpg for a product in a shopping cart.
If a thumbnail was not loaded it shows the outer size of where the jpg would be seen and has a doc gif with a red X in IE but not Firefox.
I have IE 7
I am using APEX 4.0 and the column is actually the product ID and then has the
BLOB Download Format Mask
IMAGE:PD_PRODUCTS:THUMB_NAIL:PRODUCT_ID::MIME_TYPE:THUMBNAIL_NAME:UPLOADED_ON::attachment:Download
so using a decode doesn't work because it still is passing the null to the column item.
I tried a condition for the IR report saying #IMAGE# is not null but kidda knew that wouldn't work...
??????????? How do I not display anything the product ID is null??
thanks, Bill

Hi,
Taken from demonstration application
decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(p.product_image),0),0,null,'<img src="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P6_PRODUCT_IMAGE',p.product_id)||'" />') img Regards,
Jari

Is it possible to open a csv into larger columns that display all the data that you need?

Is there a way to get a csv file to open into larger columns without having to increase the column size by hand. Maybe by opening a downloaded csv into a custom template, or to have it open so you can see all the text/numbers in the columns?

RM,
Maybe with a script you could do it in fewer steps, but there is a pretty simple way to get what you want.
If you create a template with a properly sized table for your data it's no bother to paste the standard table that the csv file opens into into a custom table.
Just open the CSV file in Numbers and open a custom template that you have prepared in advance. Select and Copy the table from the CSV file, Select cell A! in the Template, and Edit > Paste and Match Style. It is important when selecting Cell A1 in the custom template's table that you only click once on Cell A1 so that you don't inadvertently drill into the text layer.
That's it.
If you have any difficulty, let me know.

Mountain Lion showing red tints over images,thumbnails and buttons

Hello everyone, I've been having an issue ever since I updated to mountian lion a few weeks ago.
Images are showing up with red tints over them for no reason, and I'm not sure what's going on.
Here is a few examples.
I have a Macbook Pro Mid 2009 edition.
Thank you for your help,

How do i get my screen that show by columns (letf to right) 1) showed Albumn Name then under that showed Artist, next column listed songs on that albumn, next was time (song length), then Artist, Genre, Rating

I imported 2174 songs into my itunes from my husbands CD collection. Then for some reason i was checking out some of itune features. I clicked on FILE>DISPLAY DUPLICATES, Just to see what this feaure was. it changed my page to something that i did not like. I am trying to figure out how to get my itunes VIEW to what it was BEFORE i clicked on the DISPLAY DUPLICATES. My page before looked like: as follows (columns from LEFT TO RIGHT) showed:
COLUMN 1) showed ALBUMN NAME WITH ARTIST RIGHT UNDER THAT, then COLUMN 2) LISTED ALL THE SONGS ON THAT ALBUMN, COLUMN 3) SHOW TIME (SONG LENGTH), COLUMN 4) ARTIST 5) GENRE 6) RATING & 7) PLAYS (WHATEVER THAT MEANS?)
Now the screen: COLUMN 1) JUST LISTS THE ALBUMNS NAME (EACH ALBUMN ONCE, ALL THE WAY DOWN THE COLUMN. BESIDE EACH ALBUMN TITLE IS A (NUMBER...i.e. 13) THEN NEXT TO THAT IS 1 SONG (I AM ASSUMING THIS I HOW MANY TIMES THAT PARTICULAR SONG IS IN MY LIBARY), THEN TIME, ARTIST, GENRE, RATING & PLAYS...
I AM ASSUMING THAT SOMEHOW I HAVE TO TAKE OFF THE "DISPLAY DUPLICATES" BUT HAVE CLICKED ALL OVER TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THIS???? BUT CANT FIND OUT WHERE OR HOW???
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP???
THEN I THINK I BETTER (TAKE THE TOUR) BEFORE I START CLICKING ON THINGS THAT I DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS!
PLEASE HELP...I HAVE ANOTHER 400 OR SO CD'S TO IMPORT! SURE HOPE MY HUSBAND IPOD WILL HOLD ALL THESE SONGS SINCE I PURCHASED IT FOR HIM MANY YEARS AGO! OF COURSE I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE IT FOR A YEAR (SINCE STAPLES ATTEMPTED TO FIX MY OLD COMPUTER & LOST ALL THE MUSICE OUT OF MY COMPUTER) & IF I PLUGGED THE IPOD IN AGAIN, I WOULD HAVE LOST THE 1800 SONGS THAT WAS IN THE IPOD!!! NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH STAPLES, MICROSOFT! RECEIVED NEW COMMPUTER & NOW NONE OF MY EXPENSIVE PROGRAMS WORK ON THIS STUPID WINDOWS7. OVER 3500.00 WORK OF EXPENSIVE SOFTWARE & NO ONE CAN TELL ME HOW TO GET MY PROGRAMS INSTALLED & WORKING...
JUST MY LUCK...LOOKED AT BACK OF IPOD & SURE ENOUGH IT ONLY HAS 30 GB!!! SO FAR I HAVE 16+ GB OF MUSIC IN ITUNES & HAVE 400 CD'S TO GO YET. AMAZING...NEW COMPUTER THAT WONT RUN MY PROGRAMS & NOW AN IPOD WITH NOT ENOUGH MEMORY& OF COURSE NOT ENOUGH MONEY TO PURCHASE ALL MY PROGRAMS AGAIN! LIKE MICROSOFT HAS TO MAKE OPERATIONS THAT WILL NOT RUN...PERFECTLY GOOD PROGRAMS LIKE PHOTOSOFT, DREAMWEAVER, WACOM, PUBLISHER, MICROSOFT PICTURE IT, PUBLISHER, POWERPOINT, ETC. ETC. FOR $199.00 THEY CAN TRY & HELP ME. WHO HAS THAT MUCH MONEY. THEY WONT EVEN HELP ME RE-INSTALL THEIR OWN PROGRAMS...I KNOW I WENT OFF THE ORIGINAL SUBJECT BUT AM SO FRUSTRATED THAT I WANT ANYONE TO LISTEN TO POSSIBLY GET SOMEONE TO HELP WITH THESE OTHER ISSUES, ALSO. STAPLES HAVE REALLY NOT HELPED AT ALL EITHER.. BUT THEY SURE CHARGE ENOUGH TO MAKE YOU KEEP PURCHASING MORE THINGS TO MAKE THE PROGRAMS WORK & THEY STILL DONT. THEY SURE CAN TELL ALOT OF LIES THOUGH! FOR NOW, CAN SOMEONE HELP ME GET MY ITUNES SCREEN BACK??? THANKS SO MUCH...THIS I AM SURE IS OPERATOR DEFISENCY!

The large text size makes your post almost impossible to read.
Excessive use of bold or capitals (also) makes posts difficult to read.
You can drag most of the column headings left or right, or right-click on the header to turn columns on or off.
Once you've used File > Display Duplicates or Shift > File > Display Exact Duplicates you can use File > Display All or the Display All button at the bottom of the list to restore the display.
For general advice on organising your library see this article on Grouping tracks into albums.

Why did column host display red in list of Tcode st22

dear expert,
Suddenly i found a question. It was why in some dump column host displayed red when i excecuted st22 . But some did not displayed red host.
Hope to answer.

As far as I know it shows red when you are logged in the application server where the short dump occured. Same happen with the username, if the short dump belongs to you will show red.

What on earth do you mean by shattered? Can you post a picture?
It's always possible that the connector was damaged but not to the point that chargers wouldn't work. With continued use, the damage got worse until the connector could no longer feed electricity into the phone.
It sounds to me like you need to get your phone replaced but only the folks at an Apple store can say for sure.

What is the maximum number of columns that can be displayed by sqlplus?

Hello,
Questions:
Is there a limit on what sqlplus can display?
What is the maximum number of columns that can be displayed by sqlplus?
I cannot find anything on this in my search. I checked the limits page:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14357/apa.htm#sthref3658
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e16604/apa.htm#i635278
It does not specify any column limits; however, I'm thinking it is tied to LINESIZE which is system dependent.
Please confirm if true.
Thanks!

Received answer directly from SQL*Plus Development:
"sqlplus does not have a limit on the number of columns it displays."
They created a table with more than 256 columns with data and had no problem retrieving the data.

Af:treeTable: how build tree that displays multiple columns?

I only find a default single column behavior in the dev guide regarding af:treetable. Perhaps some of you might have already tried this out, I'm trying to build a master detail using a treetable with multiple columns. After establishing the ViewLink association and dragging the Master View Object onto the cavas, the default generated code looks like:
<af:treeTable ...
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:column binding="#{backing_tree.column1}" id="column1"
sortable="false" headerText="">
<af:outputText value="#{node}"
binding="#{backing_tree.outputText1}"
id="outputText1"/>
</af:column>
</f:facet>
</af:treeTable>
This renderes the entire tree in one column, but my detail ViewObject contains multiple attributes and I would like seperate columns to display those values. I'm not sure how to extract the "#{node}" EL to output the detail or child ViewObject's values in seperate af:column. Can someone advise? Thank you.
Z

Luis, thanks for the suggestion. I did get the header labels to show, however, the values are still not being printed correctly. I have department as the Master or parent node and employee as the Detail or child node. Here is what I have
<af:treeTable value="#{bindings.DeptView1.treeModel}" var="node"
binding="#{backing_treeTest.treeTable1}" id="treeTable1"
rowsByDepth="0 0">
<f:facet name="nodeStamp">
<af:column binding="#{backing_treeTest.column1}" id="column1">
<f:facet name="header">
<af:outputText value="Department Name"/>
</f:facet>
<af:outputText value="#{node.Dname}"
binding="#{backing_treeTest.outputText1}"
id="outputText1"/>
</af:column>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="pathStamp">
<af:outputText value="#{node.Dname}"
binding="#{backing_treeTest.outputText2}"
id="outputText2"/>
</f:facet>
<af:column>
<f:facet name="header">
<af:outputText value="Employee Name"/>
</f:facet>
<af:outputText value="#{node.Ename}"
binding="#{backing_treeTest.outputText3}"
id="outputText3"/>
</af:column>
</af:treeTable>
The Tree Table looks Like:
Department Name | Employee Name
- Accounting
Thanks in advance,

Why do my photos from the Further Festival in Portland Oregon show that they were taken at Red Rocks CO when I've never been there? I don't believe it is coincidental that they wre there the previous week. How is the location being tagged if not GPS?

We saw Further at Mcmenamins Edgefield on Friday and Saturday night in Portland Oregon. However, when I look at the 'Locations' tab in the Photo App, every photo shows that it was taken at Red Rocks Colorado. Further was there the week before Edgefield but me and my phone were not! I can only think of 2 ways that could happen - either Further/Mcmenamins was overriding the GPS signal or Apple was using some facial recognition to recognize the band and override the location.
Any thoughts?

A matrix column that shows a field from a linked table

Hello,
I'm creating a custom UI form for a UDO of type document.
This UDO (say FATHER) has one child table (say CHILD). I show its data in a matrix.
Every line in CHILD links to a sales order line (RDR1).
In the matrix I'd like to show:
A) some columns from CHILD (I succeded)
B) a linked button column that links to ORDR using CHILD.U_OrderEntry (I succeded)
C) a column that shows RDR1.DocDueDate (how?)
D) a linked button column that shows RDR1.ItemCode and links to OITM (how?)
Something similar is done by B1 in pick list standard form (id 85), for instance.
Can you help me solving issues C and D?
I guess I should link my CHILD.U_OrderEntry and U_OrderLine with RDR1.DocEntry and LineNum.
Many thanks!

Hi Simone,
I agree, my explanation was partial.
When I am creating a new form, I'm basing every single piece of the UI on DataTable (I never use DBDataSource and UserDataSources only for Folders). One for the header, one for each Matrix/grid, etc.
By doing this, it allows me to have the correct layout and validate the UI with the project manager (or the Customer, when this is me the project manager ).
Then, I am creating the queries, to extract data from the DB exactly as the previously defined DataTables are expecting these data (so, calculating the LineId from the query...).
And finally, this is the beauty of the design, DataTables allows to to extract (since 2007PL47?) the data from a DataTable as an xml String and to import it in a different DataTable.
So, to make the full picture, I have a specific DataTable to execute queries, from which I'm extracting the xml definition to load it in the "UI's DataTable". It ends with a matrix.LoadFromDataSource...
Definitions are staying as defined, querying and loading is sub-second time (depending on your SQL expertise), layout doesn't flicker...
If you need an excerpt of code (frankly, I'd prefer you to write it with this "how to"), just ask.
Regards,
Eric

I have marked some video cuts for removing, and want to activate them again and take away the marking (a red line over the thumbnails). How do I do that?

I have marked some video cuts for removing, and want to activate them again and take away the marking (a red line over the thumbnails). How do I do that?

In the middle tool bar, near the Reject Tool that you used to make the red marks, there should be an "Un-Mark" Tool. Select this tool and you can erase the red marks. It should look like an empty star.
YOu can select "View Rejected Only" to make sure you get them all.

Infopath 2013 generic error message that displays

In an InfoPath 2013 custom form that I created, I have several columns that are required. If the user does not enter all the data that is required, the automatic generic error message is displayed.
I would prefer to make the error message that is more 'user friendly'. Thus can you tell me if there is a way to make the error message more user friendly? If so, would you tell me how to make the message more user friendly?
The generic error message that is automatically displayed is:
'InfoPath cannot submit the form because it contains errors. Errors are marked with either a red asterisk (required fields) or a red, dashed border (invalid values). use ctl+shift+O to go to the next error. Use ctl+shift+I to view error details'.
Thus can you show me how to make this error message more user friendly in InfoPath 2013?

Hi Wendy,
All the error messages for the InfoPath form errors are stored in the intlcorestrings.js file which is located in C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\Web Server Extensions\15\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\INC.
If you want to modify the error messages, then you can modify that file to change the corresponding error message.
Per my knowledge, the error you want to customize is IntlCoreStrings.k_strSubmitBeforeErrors and IntlCoreStrings.k_strSaveSubmitErrorInformation.
You can change the two lines.
Thanks,
Victoria
