Conditionally Hide Dashboard Pages using Javascript.

Hi, I would like to share a small logic i developed to Conditionally show or hide Dashboard Pages based on a Repository Variable.
In the last few weeks we noticed that the ETL jobs scheduled everyday were failing due to various obvious reasons. As a result, Our Dashboard are greeting the users with "No Data to Display Messages". Most of our Sales Dashboards are defaulted to show business health as of yesterday (Sysdate -1). If ETL scheduled everyday at 3 am failes, then the Dashboards show no data. Emails from Users, etc. etc........
For a few days we were manually trying to post some messages on Dashboard something like "Please come again, Our Data for yesterday is not yet loaded........".
I thought it would be nice to hide the Dashhboard Pages automatically, rather than manually posting a message whenever data outage or etl job failure occures.
To do this, I
1. Identified the table that the ETL folks update at the end of every job. This table has a column to say the status of the load (Successful, UnSuccessful) and also a date column to show the most updated load date and timings.
2. Created an Initialization block that would go fetch the most recent loaded date and status of the load values. I set this block to fire every 5 minutes.
3. Created a report with a Date Column and a bogus columns with FX set as the Repository Variable for Load Status. Added filter on the Date as = the repository variable for Load Date.
4. In the Narrative View of this Report, I added the following JavaScript.
In Prefix section:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<script type="text/javascript">
var curTable = document.getElementsByTagName("table");
In Narrative Section:
var cFlag = "@2";
In Postfix Section:
if (cFlag == "UnSuccessful"){
for (var i = 0; i < curTable.length; i++) {
if (curTable.className == "PageTable") {
curTable[i].style.display = 'none';
/*var curBody = document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0];
var newTable = document.createElement("table");
var newTBody = document.createElement("tbody");
var newRow = document.createElement("tr");
var newCol = document.createElement("td");
var curMessage = document.createTextNode("Data for this dashboard is currently unavailable due to the daily load process." + '\n' + "Sorry for the inconvenience.");
newCol.appendChild(curMessage);
newRow.appendChild(newCol);
newTBody.appendChild(newRow);
newTable.appendChild(newTBody);
curBody.appendChild(newTable); */
alert("Data for this dashboard is currently unavailable due to the daily load process. Please check back shortly." + '\n' + "Sorry for the inconvenience.");
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Note: I originally wanted to post the message on the Dashboard, but there are some issues with IE 7, with appendChild method. But it works fine with FireFox. So I did not wasted any time on Javascript Errors, rather just had an alert message, that basically does the job i need. I mean tell the users about the ETL Status.
5. Finally I added this report in the Dashboard. Key point here is the above report should be added in the Lower Column. I mean if there are six Dashboard COlumns aligned as 2 Columns X 3 Rows, I added the Narrative Report on the 5th or 6th Columns.
When the load status is unsuccesful, the narrative report will hide the Dashboard Sections and shows a message to the users.
Thanks
Sai

Hi Turribeach, the reason i set it as "Answered" because, I have found the answer by myself and wanted to share with others.
Also,
Guided Navigaion is very expensive in terms of performance and I am talking about at least 8 to 10 answer requests per page here.

Controlling shockwave content (dcr) from a web page using javascript

Hi,
Is it possible to control shockwave content (dcr; object="application/x-director") from a web page using javascript?
I believe this is possible using 'FSCommand' in Flash...
I'd like to use HTML to do something like:
- html_object[1].go(10);
to send playback to frame 10.
Thanks.
Mark

Sean,
Thanks - this is exactly what I was looking for.
'Shockingly' difficult ( pun intended :-)
Someone really put in some effort on this.
Very creative solution, putting a flash ( swf ) component in a director project and communicating indirectly through the flash element.
Apparently, Javascript can communicate with the SWF file & the SWF file can communicate with the DCR file, but it is not possible to have Javascript communicate directly with the DCR. Too bad.
After looking over this example I think I'll rethink my project.
Thanks again.
Mark

Hide Dashboard Pages Conditionally

HI ,
I have 3 dashboard pages page 1 , page 2 , page 3
and i have a prompt called SERVICES in page 1 which has values s 1 , s 2 , s 3 ....
---- here if the user selects service = s1 he should be able to see pages 1 ,2 and 3
but if he selects service = s2 or s 3 .... he must be able to see only page 1.....page 2 and page 3 must get hided.
Please help me in achieving this.
Thanks very much.

Hmm, the only way to do is put all the reports on the dashboard page and add the logic to the Answers Requests and Create a No Results View and just display nothing if it doesnt display anything, Hope this works

Modifying a pdf page using Javascript

Hi all,
- I am having an html report that consists of many html pages.
- Each page of these html pages contains a table or more, in addition to some buttons that hides/display specific rows in these tables. And these buttons are programmed using Javascript.
I would like to convert these html files to a single pdf file.
My question is: If I converted the report to html, will my buttons work. I mean will my Javascript buttons hide/display table rows in the pdf pages ?
Thank you,
Moustafa

Even though there is some common objects, properties, and methods between Web JS and Acrobat JS, Acrobat uses some very unique objects, properties, and methods so there is no straight forward conversion possible. You would need to rewrite much of the JS and make form fields that could be manipulated. Also Acrobat makes static forms, so no dynamic re flowing of content would be possible.

Hi Dan,
1) I have tried standard navigation. The measure column is a dimension value, when i try to put multiple navigation paths on a actual value, it gives me a navigation menu. So i want to use conditional navigation i.e when the measure value is Application Availability , i should be able to navigate to application availability dashboard page and when my measure is Outage, it should take me to outage page instead.
2) Yes i am using same columns for month and year for all 6 reports.
3) Yes i have mentioned year and month as is prompted in all the reports.
Please help
Thanks Srus

Navigation from Dashboard Page using PortalNav

Hi,
I am developing a Dashboard with two pages. Page1 which contains a summary level, which is developed by Union and in Pivot view.
Page2 contains 6 reports, which are normal table. When i click on click on Client in Page1, it has to navigate to Page2 and filter the value dynamicaly based on the client. page2 has filter on Client column with IS Prompted Option. I am Using Portalnav function on Dataformat tab on Client column. I am not able to navigate or Filter the client.
Below is the portal nav which i have used.
[html]"<font class=nav onclick=\"JavaScript:PortalNav( event,'/shared/Hemanth/_portal/ERG3/A','CLIENT','CLINET','"@"');\">"@"</font>"
Please, suggesrt me where i am going wrong.
Thanks for the help.

How to Redirect to another page Using JavaScript in ADF Faces?

Hi Guys,
I have a UI user case that has a af:menu which contains mutiple af:goMenuItem. When user click on the menu, the menu slides down and shows up the af:goMenuItem. As we know, you could define the page destinations in af:goMenuItem to go to another page when user clicked, but af:menu itself cannot be redirected to another page. Well, the user case wants the menu itself could be redirected if user click on it.
So I am thinking using JavaScript to do this: when the af:menu gets clicked, redirect to another page. BUT, I looked over the ADF Faces Javascript API and was not able to find that piece of code to do this. Any help???
Another work around for the user case scenario is to use HTML marks + CSS/JavaScript instead of af:menu and af:goMenuItem but this changes the scope of technology although it's not hard to do
Any other idea to accomplish the user case other than what I could think of ?
Thanks Guys!
Jay

Hi,
1 - you can have a hidden command item to do the navigation based on a control flow case. In this case, you access the command component from JavaScript create a new ActionEvent and queue it
2 - JavaScript can use an af:serverListener to call into a server side managed bean method to perform the navigation
there is no JavaScript API for navigation in ADF Faces because navigation in JavaServer Faces is an event driven framework and we don't support developers fighting the framework.

SharePoint 2013 implement simple logout button which do not redirect to default sign out page using JavaScript client object model

I am using windows authentication in my web application.
My requirement is to implement a sign out button which will sign out the user without having him to close the browser and application should not ask him to login again.
I tried following two options:
1. Redirecting the user to default signout.aspx page " /_layouts/15/SignOut.aspx "
2. Using "Sign In as a different user" URL " /_layouts/15/closeConnection.aspx?loginasanotheruser=true "
In first case, user is redirected to default sign out page but he can press "Go Back to Site" link to revisit the site. Another major issue is that the user has to close the browser to sign out from the application completely, which is not desirable
in my project requirement.
In second case, the the current user is signed out of the application but if the user has saved the password in browser, he gets signed in automatically to the application.
I also came across the solution where we replace the default sign out page with a custom sign out page, but I am not sure whether it can be implemented using JavaScript Client Object Model of SharePoint.

How to Hide f:subview using javaScript

Hi
In our application i have to hide and show the subview using javascript is it possible i tried like this.. but its not working
<f:subview id="viewid" >
// view contents
</f:subview>
In java script
document.getElementById("viewid").style.visibility="hidden";
Any suggestion to me..
Regards
Hari

The f:subview doesn't render anything to the response. You should know that if you have checked the rendered HTML source.
Wrap its contents in a h:panelGroup and give it an ID. And don't forget to adapt the clientside Javascript language on the clientside HTML source, not on the serverside JSF source.

Column Passing between dashboard pages using Column Format- Navigation

I've been put in a tough spot due to an error in BI Publisher which I can't seem to fix and won't be discussing in this post, thus I'm trying to find an OBIEE work around that adheres to the client's heuristics requirements. So OBIEE dev's more experienced than I, lend me your wisdom.
I have a logical layout with two descriptive dimensions, a time dimension and a singular fact table. An explanation of the dashboard pages, their requests, prompts and other objects is below:
Dim 1
- Dim1 Key
- Dim 1 Descr
Dim 2
- Dim 2 Key
- Dim 2 Descr
Dim Date
- Typical Date blah blah
Fact
- Measure 1 (Count of Dim 2 Key)
Dashboard Page 1
- Prompt 1
- Request 1
Request 1
- Columns
     - Dim 1 Descr
     - Measure 1
     - Dim 1 Key (Hidden)
- Filters
- Dim 1 Key is Prompted
- Dim Date is Prompted
- Formatting
     - Dim 1 Descr navigates to Dashboard Page 2
Prompt 1
- Dim Date.Date is Between
Dashboard Page 2
- Prompt 2
- BI Pub Report 1
BI Pub Report 1
- Parameter
     - p_key (takes in Dim 1 Key)
Prompt 2
- Dim 1 Descr is Equal
- Dim 1 Key is Equal - populates presentation var: p_key
So the functionality I'm expecting is that the user starts on Dashboard Page 1 selects a date range from Prompt 1. Selects a row and navigates to Dashboard Page 2 by clicking on a Dim 1 Descr 1 value, which in turn passes the Dim 1 Descr value and the Dim 1 Key value (which is hidden) to Dashboard Page 2.
On Dashboard Page 2, Prompt 2's Dim 1 Descr and Dim 1 Key become the values passed from Dashboard Page 1 and p_key is populated with the value which Prompt 2 Dim 1 Key becomes. Lastly BI Pub Report 1 gets p_key from OBIEE, and runs displaying what it’s supposed to.
Currently everything works, except the passing of Dim 1 Key from Dashboard Page 1 to Dashboard Page 2. The question is, firstly, is it possible to pass Dim 1 Key without it being visible on Request 1 or without using Dim 1 Key as the point of navigation to Dashboard Page 2. If so, what of my above mentioned setup is incorrect? My guess is that I need Dim 1 Key in Prompt 1, but the client is adamant that I leave Prompt 1 alone, so any other options would be great.
I also know that the above is possible with GoUrl or PortalPath but since on the actual request there are multiple Navigation Target options, I'd like to avoid having to resort to GoUrl or PortalPath, but if this is the only method, how can multiple options be given using GoUrl or PortalPath?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Karthick,
Thanks for the updated info. I tried what you suggested and unfortunately still no value passed. It seems hidden via OBIEE format options, hidden via CSS or unhidden the value is only passed if the navigation is set up on that particular field. So if I have two fields in the report and I want to click on Field 1 and pass Field 2, Field 2 will not be passed. I am going to try this on a up to date environment and see if it works, since the client is using a slightly outdated version of OBIEE.
Thanks for the suggestions so far,
Matt

To know the Status code of a HTML page using Javascript

To know the Status code of a HTML page using Javascript

Hello,
I am not sure to understand, which status are you talking about? The HTTP Status?
If your javscript is executed it is more or less sure that the HTTP Status is 200 since the request is back to the browser.
or are you talking about this is in the context of a XMLHTTPRequest call ?

HOW TO KEEP TEXT AT BOTTOM OF PAGE USING JAVASCRIPT-ANSWERED

UPDATE 5/12/2006: MORE COMPATIBLE CODE:
Was using OnRequestEnd.cfm to load copyright info at bottom
of each page but page size varied and copyright info would appear
at different points on different pages. Didn't look good. Could not
use tables to align the text for output reasons. Coded a way using
CSS and JavaScript to keep text at bottom of each page. Be careful
with CFFORM, us have to set the attribute 'wMode=transparent' in
CFFORM so text is above form. Tested in IE and Netscape. Put at end
of individual templates or inside OnRequestEnd.cfm - Enjoy!
(css goes in your external css file or between local style
tags)
.copyright{background-color:#d8d8d8;color:Black;font-size:10px;font-family:Arial;width:10 0%;text-align:center;}
body {border-bottom-width:0px;}
(following goes at end of page or in OnRequestEnd.cfm)
<span id="x" class="copyright">
my copyright
</span>

<script>
if(document.body.scrollHeight <
document.body.clientHeight){
var s = 0;
document.getElementById('x').style.cssText='position:absolute;bottom:'+s+';';
else {
var s = document.body.scrollHeight;
document.getElementById('x').style.cssText='position:absolute;top:'+s+';';
</script>

To change the setting of existing frames throughout your document, use Edit > Find/Change.
Choose the Object tab.
Set the Search: field to Document.
Set the Type: field to Text Frames.
If there is a formatting attribute common to all the text frames you want to target and change, click the glass/frame icon next to the Find Object Format field to access the Find Object Format Options dialog and set that common attribute.
Click the glass/frame icon next to the Change Object Format field to access the Change Object Format Options dialog and set the Align: field to Justify under Basic Attributes > Text Frame General Options > Vertical Justification.
Step through the Find Next/Change sequence to selectively apply the change, or click the Change All button if you're certain you want all the found frames changed.

Can I make an Imageboard in a HTML page (using JavaScript)?

Hello all.
Just like to say that this is my first post on the Adobe forums!
Anyways, I've started a website project in Dreamweaver CS6 (full version) and will probably be using Photoshop (CS6) for some parts of the site too. It's gonna be pretty basic but I want to make an imageboard (with JavaScript? I'm not sure...) where users who have logged in can post an image on the feed with a comment/caption to go with it.
How can I do this? Can anyone point me to a good tutorial on how to make this? Do I do it with JavaScript on the HTML page? (P.S. I am mildly experienced with HTML).
Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately, there isn't anything in DW that can do this type of thing for you, although if you were to learn php and mySQL you definitely could use DW to create a site with those types of features.
There's actually quite a bit that goes into that kind of thing, more than just basic code, you need to think about security especially if you plan to allow someone to upload files, potentially infected with viruses, to your server.
If you're talking about creating a basic forum (being able to start topics, post pics and comments), there are a lot of free and paid solutions available online. Certain hosting companies even give you basic forums you can add to your site by following the instructions on their pages.
Unless you have a lot of time on your hands to learn all the ins and outs of PHP and the security necessary to keep your site and server safe, I'd suggest going that route.
