Conditionally displaying tabs

I have a page that I want to call in two different methods.
1. I want to display the page with tabs
2. I want to display the page as a popup and therfore do not want the tabs to display.
Is it possible to conditionally display the tabs?
Thanks

Brian,
Standard Tabs and Parent Tabs both have condition attributes. If your popup page URLs can include a certain keyword in the request value field (between session ID and debug positions in the f?p URL), you could make the tabs conditional on that request value.

Data not submitting when I have a conditional display on a date field

Hello all,
Could someone please help me with the following issue?
I have created an updateable report region with four updateable fields. 3 of the fields store a number values and the fourth stores a date value.
Each updateable report item has a conditional display, and whether they are displayed or not is controlled by the end user using a radio group (with submit). This provides the user with three options.
If I remove all conditional displays all data will commit to the database without any problems. If I apply the conditional display to the number fields only, again the data will commit as normal. However, as soon as I add a conditional display to the date field it all goes pair shaped. The data will then cease to commit, with no error message at all. Once I remove the conditional display normal service is resumed.
I'm certainly an APEX novice at the moment, so I wondered if anyone could shed some light on this.
Thanks in advance for your help
Steve

Stew,
Basically, I have edited each applicable report field column attributes, via the report attributes tab, and selected a conditional display 'Value of item in Expression 1 = Expression 2' for all of them.
In the same report region I have created a radiogoup with submit called p51_update_type, specifying three static return values; R, F and S
Condition e.g.
*"Expression 1"*
p51_update_type
*"Expression 2"*
S
All columns display as expected, and commits to the database are normal, that is until I apply a conditional display to the date field (which relates to a table column of type DATE in the database).
Thanks
Steve

Complex conditional display in report table

Hi,
I built a report in a region, and want to make one of the columns conditionally display based on attributes from two other columns in the table. The drop-down for the conditional display only lets me refer to the current item. Is there a way I can reference the other cells in that table row in a PL/SQL expression (e.g.: something akin to #COLB# is not null and #COLC#>1000 ?)
Related question: I'm assuming the reason I can't directly change the source for the report region and can only modify it from the Query Definition tab is because I used a wizard to create it. Is there a way to "undo" this and make the source for the report fully editable? That would also solve the problem, since I could just add a function-derived column to the query.
Thanks in advance,
Keith

One final update and rephrasing of the problem, because maybe there's another way to solve this.
I have a column in a report that links to another page, but the link is only shown if a certain condition is met (which is based on other cells in this table row). I can test for those conditions in my original SQL query, so that a null value in my link column results in no user-clickable link being created. (I have to make sure that a null value appears as null on the report page, too.)
This works fine if the link text is just that: text. Because not meeting the condition returns null, so no text == no link.
Now the only problem I have comes if I want to use an icon (e.g.: the edit icon) instead of link text.
What I really want is for the icon to only appear if a certain condition is met. However, the icon replaces the column value so I can no longer use a null value to prevent the link from appearing.
The original question asked whether I can use other report cells (#foo#) in the conditional display for a cell. If that's not possible, any suggestions on how to achieve the desired effect without resorting to JavaScript?
Thanks.

Conditional display based on Page Template

I'd like to make some conditional display based on Page temlate value (definition). Example:
return page_template='TABS';With such an feature it will be easy to exclude some elements defined on "Page 0" on some pages. I know that this could be done by enumerating page_id's...but in this way it will be much flexible...
Is there such a feature? Will it be ever possible?

A more flexible way (IMHO) to do this sort of thing would be to define onload application-level computations that set a application item to either SHOW or HIDE depending on the conditions you need. Then make the Page 0 components conditional upon this application item's value.

how do I connect my new (purchased last week) macbook air to my samsung smart tv? I purchased the adapter at the apple store and connected to the TV via HDMI cable. The TV says "no signal. I do not see TV as an option in the display tab of system preferences. what else do I need to do?

First, make sure your TV is tuned to display the correct input signal. Most TVs have several inputs (multiple HDMIs, cable connections, RCA etc) so double-check that you're using the correct one - HDMI1, HDMI2 or whatever is written next to the port.
I assume that you have a mini-Displayport to HDMI adaptor? If you open displays preferences, first tick the box that says "show display preferences in menu bar" then locate the menu and click Detect Displays. See if that helps.

Conditional Display on multiple items?

Is it possible to use multiple items in the conditional display region of a report? For example I'm trying to use the
"Value of Item in Expression 1= Expression 2" and when I populate 1 item with the value in expression 2 it works just great but if I try to place 2 items that would both equal expression 2 it does not work.
I've tried
Expression 1:
P14_ITEM1, P14_ITEM2
Expression 2:
10
Is this possible? And if so is there different syntax I should using in Expression 1 to identify my items?
Thanks,
Zala

I have done something similar but I used the exists statements and write a SQL "SELECT 1 FROM dual WHERE :x1 = :x2".
Cheers Mike

Conditional display in a SQL-Report/Report Region

Hi,
here I have an example for "Conditional display in a SQL-Report/Report Region". I figured it out in Firefox 3.6.2 using Firebug as development tool on Apex 3.2.1.00.12.
First you have to put the following javascript code in the Page HTML-Header:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Maybe you have to modify the "vd_getBody" function. I'm searching the table cell with having the class "t10data". When you use another theme, there's maybe another class used.
Second is, that you set an static id for your report region. I prefer this structure:
R<app-id><page-id><seq> (Raaaaappppsss) e.g. R094260001010.
First example is to turn off the onMouse-Effect. Maybe on the first or last column definition you put this code in the "HTML-Expression" area:
<script>ex_conditional_tr('R094260001010', #ROWNUM#);</script>#ID#This will call the example function ex_conditional_tr with the parameter
a) the region id
b) the rownum (as oracle always starts with 1 this is the first data row [rownum=0 is the table header row])
Second example is the conditional formatting of a table cell. Put this in the HML-Expression area:
<script>ex_conditional_td('R094260001010', #ROWNUM#, #COLNUM#-1);</script>#ENAME#This will call the example function ex_conditional_tr with the parameter
a) the region id
b) the rownum
c) the cellnum (here we have to subtract 1 to get the "real" cell index)
The "ex_conditional" functions are just a representation of how to get the row or cell node.
Hope this help a bit.
Tom

I would use a CASE statement in the select....
each CASE would be an img src tag for a different button if the button is an image.
does that make sense? I can include an example if you would like...

Smartview 9.3.3 issue with Options Display tab Replacement NoData

I am testing an upgrade from 9.3.1 to 9.3.3. I have Office 2010 on a new WindowsXP laptop and using IE8.
What I have found with the Options menu on the Display tab that it will NOT let me put the value zero in the fields for Replacement #NoData or #NoAccess.
This is a huge problem for us as we use excel packs to upload our monthly reporting packs and have excel formula and HsGet formula built into the pack and when you refresh you get #Value error now instead of the no data fields populating with zero.
Has anyone else had this issue and can suggest a solution please.
Thanks
Lynda

Try #numericzero. I don't have an 9.3.x client handy but if my memory is correct this is what you need. Please note the memory is not as good as it used to be so don't be too mad at me if this is not it...

The problem is this: the browser continues to display tabs, the reload/home/history/favorites icons, URL field and Google search field while in full-screen mode, so it's not really full-screen anymore. How can I correct this?

Problems with Conditional Display and Read Only

Hi Everybody,
I have a form to Add/ Modify Table Info.
I have column which stores numeric value (like no. of purchases, no.of returns etc.,) and I have a text field with this Database column as Source.
In some cases the value is a foreign key (Id of the Owner, Buyer etc.,) to another table. In such cases, I want to display a select list containing people information. Is that possible?
This is what I did to achieve that
I added a select list with info from second Table. Made both the text field and the select list to conditional display and conditional read only.
My understanding is that When an item is made read only it should not be saved to the Database.
But while Updating I am getting the following Error
ORA-06550: line 1, column 130: PL/SQL: ORA-00957: duplicate column name ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored.
Any can anybody help me out on this?
Thanks
Nimmi

My understanding is that When an item is made read only it should not be saved to the Database
No, all page items with a Source Type of "Database Column" will be used by the Automatic DML process to insert/update the database. Form inputs with the "disabled" HTML attribute set are not POSTed to the server.
Try to create 2 items, one Select List and other Text Field but setup their conditions such that only one of them is rendered on the page at any given time. That might work.

Need help with conditional display

I found a older thread (704012) that explains how to conditionally display a link using style. Which is what I want to do. The part I'm having trouble with is that part of the instructions say to put
class="row_has_values_#HAS_VALUES#"
in the Link Attributes which I have done. I also have a column in the report called HAS_VALUES and I'm properly populating it in my select. I know because I left it displayed while I'm testing. I can run the report and I have Y's and N's showing up in that column but the conditional part does not work. When I look at the page source (below) I see that in the html the #HAS_VALUES# has not been replaced by the actual Y or N. I think that's where I'm having trouble? I think it might work if there was a Y or N in that but I don't understand why that didn't happen.
<tr class="odd"><td headers="LINK"><a href="f?p=125:3:12628966088981::NO::P3_PROGRAM_KEY:2" class="row_has_values_#HAS_VALUES#"><img src="/i/e2.gif" border="0"></a></td><td align="left"

I've continued to snoop around and see lots of posts on conditional display in reports. Common desire I guess. I saw some stuff that I interpreted to suggest that what I'm trying to do may not work in interactive reports, only in classic reports. Does that sound familiar?
That would certainly apply to anything template-related. However there have been enhancements to IRs (like adding HTML Expressions) that might supersede information in older posts. If you provide a link to the sources you've found and the APEX version you're using someone will be able to confirm whether that information is relevant.
Many other posts on doing things conditionally in reports seemed to lean towards "selecting" the html based on data values and then just letting that get put in the report column. That looks promising but sure is a bit ugly. I've very little apex experience but lots of mod pl/sql and that sort of solution was pretty common when I did stuff with it. I saw a little suggesting using templates as a solution but I'll confess to not understanding it at all.
As I pointed out in the original thread, if the conditional display of the link is in any way security related then CSS or JS/jQuery methods are not acceptable. If the user is not supposed to be able to click the link or see any data contained in it, then you have to use a method that ensures that the link element never reaches the browser.
Hard-coding the link HTML in the report query is the common approach, but is as you say a bit ugly. Using a custom report template (my favourite APEX subject) enables clean separation of the report query, conditional logic and HTML structure. If you know HTML then you're advised to get familiar with using templates in APEX. You'll find this a major advance on the PL/SQL web toolkit. What is it that you're not understanding about using templates?

Help with Conditional Display and Validation

Version 4.1.1.00.23
Hello,
I'm having a difficult time with a conditional display and validation I'm hoping someone can help with.
Requirements:
When the Start Date (Datepicker) and/or End Date (Datepicker) change then display the Change Reason (Select List) and Change Description (Textbox)
If the page is saved without entering a Change Reason display a validation error message that the Change Reason cannot be empty (NULL)
What I've tried
Create a Dynamic Action on the Start Date
Event: Change
Selection Type:Item(s)
Items(s): P51_START_DATE
Condition: none
True Action Section:
Action: Show
Fire on Page Load: Checked
Show all page items on the same line: No
Affected Items Section:
Selection Type:Item(s)
Item(s): P51_CHANGE_REASON,P51_CHANGE_DESC
I've also created a Dynamic Action with similar settings for the P51_END_DATE.
I created a Validation for the P51_CHANGE_REASON as Function Returning Error Text:
DECLARE
    v_start_date    work_items.start_date%TYPE;
    v_end_date      work_items.end_date%TYPE;
BEGIN
    SELECT start_date
          ,end_date
    INTO   v_start_date
          ,v_end_date
    FROM   work_items
    WHERE work_items_id = :P51_WORK_ITEMS_ID;
    IF ( (v_start_date != TO_DATE(:P51_START_DATE,'DD-MON-YYYY') OR v_end_date != TO_DATE(:P51_END_DATE,'DD-MON-YYYY') ) AND
          :P51_CHANGE_REASON IS NULL ) THEN
        RETURN 'Change Reason must have a value';
    END IF;
END;
The Issue
I tried to create another Dynamic Action to hide the P51_CHANGE_REASON and P51_CHANGE_DESC fields on page load, but when either of the date fields are changed and the validation is fired the P51_CHANGE_REASON and P51_CHANGE_DESC are hidden again.
There are two buttons to submit the page: 'SAVE' will submit the page and stay on the page and 'SAVE_CHANGES' will submit the page and branch to the previous page (which is a report with EDIT buttons to edit the record).
I can't get the page load Dynamic Action to NOT fire when the validation is fired.
I hope this is clear and if not what information can I provide?
Thanks,
Joe

Phil,
Thank you for looking at this.
Yes if the Change Reason is NULL when the edit page is displayed then the Change Reason and Change Description fields are hidden. If the Start Date (Datepicker) and/or End Date (Datepicker) change then display the Change Reason (Select List) and Change Description (Textbox). If the page is saved without entering a Change Reason display a validation error message that the Change Reason cannot be empty (NULL).
The problem I'm having is that if no Change Reason is entered and the page is saved thereby firing the validation the Change Reason and Change Description fields are hidden again (because of the On-Load Dynamic Action to hide them). So now the user can't put in a Change Reason...unless they change one of the date fields again which isn't going to be accepted.
Is there a way to determine if a validation error was fired and be able to use that on the On-Load Dynamic Action to hide the two fields? Something like...If the validation fired then don't run?
Please let me know if I'm still confusing you.
Thanks,
Joe

Purchase order Condition control tab?

Hi,
Here in the purchase order condition control tab I need to get Price Date and Price date category. Presently they are not appearing in my purchase orders. When I go to screen layout, I am not able to get those fields to configure.
Could please anybody help me urgently?
Thanks,
Bhairav

Hi
GOTO----> OLME--> PO -> Define Screenlay out at Document level -> There Choose your Field Selection ( NBF and ME21N)... and go into to details--> And select the field selection group Quantity and Price and Double Click--> There you choose the field <b>PRICING DATE CONTROL</b> and Check it as a Required Entry or Optional Entry and save . <b>DO IT FOR BOTH NBF and ME21N FIELD SELECTION.</b>
Now when ever you make PO in ME21N.....You will get Pricing Date Category and Price Date Fields in PO-> Item Details---> Condition Control Tab.

Master-Detail Form, Conditional Display of a Column Link

Hey Guys,
I've got a little question for you:
I use a Master Report with a Column Link that i would like to hide when my Column in the Report named "NUMBER" is 0.
I can't get it to work though. Using the "Conditional Display" stuff doesn't seem to work.
I have looked at some CASE statements but i cant seem to make them fit!
Any suggestions?
Thanks alot,
max

sorry for the trouble, i am quite new to this.
Yes, i took my Master Report and added a [column link]. I understand now how the sql has to look like but where do i put this?
I cant find any space for a sql code, or does it belong in the conditional display section?
I changed the Column Attributes to standard column, however, this seemed to have no effect.
Do i have to chance my sql select query for the Report?
It looks like this at the moment...
SELECT
"CONTENT_LOCALES"."CONTENT_LOCALE_ID" "CONTENT_LOCALE_ID",
"CONTENT_LOCALES"."CONTENT_ID" "CONTENT_ID",
"CONTENT_LOCALES"."LOCALE_ID" "LOCALE_ID",
"CONTENT_LOCALES"."NAME" "NAME",
"ORIGIN_TEXTS"."ORIGIN_NAME" "ORIGIN_NAME",
"DESIGNS"."DESIGN_ID" "DESIGN_ID",
"DESIGNS"."DESIGN_NAME" "DESIGN_NAME",
"CONTENT_LOCALES"."SEQUENCE" "SEQUENCE"
FROM
"CONTENT",
"DESIGNS",
"CONTENT_LOCALES",
"ORIGIN_TEXTS"
WHERE (("ORIGIN_TEXTS"."GID" =:GID and "CONTENT"."CONTENT_ID" =CONTENT_LOCALES.CONTENT_ID and "CONTENT"."DESIGN_ID" =DESIGNS.DESIGN_ID and >"CONTENT_LOCALES"."CONTENT_LOCALE_ID" =ORIGIN_TEXTS.CONTENT_LOCALE_ID))

Conditional display of list box in form (depends on other report column)

Hello,
i have one question regarding conditional display in forms.
I have a tabular form where only one column ("flag") is updateable, all other columns are visible only.
I changed the column "flag" from "standard report column" to "Select list (static lov)", which has the values "yes" and "no".
This works fine. But in the running form i want to display the list box only if the column "status" = 'ERROR'.
The column "status" can have the values 'ERROR' and 'OK'.
When one record has "status" = 'OK', the column "flag" should not display the list box (only empty column row),
when one record has "status" = 'ERROR" the column "flag" should display the list box.
The idea behind is that if a record has "status" = 'ERROR' i have the possibility to confirm that "error" and update the column "flag" with "YES". This should only be possible for errors.
This is my main problem.
I tried with conditional display, but this hides or shows the column for the whole report/form, not on record level...
The second problem then is, that if the column "flag" is changed to "YES" in case of column "status" = 'ERROR', then it should not be possible to change it again to 'NO". At the beginning it is 'NO', but once changed to 'YES' it should not be changeable any more.
Is this possible?
Thank you in advance,
Matthias

Hello Mike
your solution sounds good, but unfortunately it is not working.
None of my 2 columns are displayed, although i tried it as you wrote and the conditions should match...
But i am no sure if this can work. If so, the 2 columns must fuse to 1 column:
ID STATUS FLAG
1 ERROR yes/no => comes from column1
2 OK (null => comes from column2
so "FLAG" must display column1 and column2 in one column. is that possible?
regards,
Matthias
