Create regions at page level

Hello,
I've made a template which contains navigation, search and some style elements (images).
Some pages which will use this template will have 3 regions (columns) for content, others will only need one.
Is it possible to base these two kinds of pages on the same template with one main region, and create extra regions at page level when necessary?
Thanks,
Ton

Hi Ton,
Using the page template locks down the ability to create new regions in pages that use the template with one exception - a 'hidden' feature when the page region on the template is configured with tabs. In this config, you can create new tabs at the page level and within these new tabs define page unique region layouts.
Another option to consider is to build your nav, search, style elements as nav pages, expose them as page portlets, place them on your template, create your end user facing pages using the template and disconnect the page from the template. This way changes to the nav, search, style elements you make in the nav pages will update all the end user facing pages constructed this way.

Creating Page Level Help Screens

Hi there
I have been asked to include a link to page-level help in our EP implementation.
Now, I can find the property(s) that need to be set in order to get the link to appear, but where do I set the content for the particular page?
In the masthead, there is a hyperlink for help, which redirects the user to SDN, but I remember reading somewhere where that is defined, so I'm not too worried about updating that or getting rid of it completely.
The page level help needs to be page-related, ie. the help content that is displayed must depend on the page from which the link was clicked.
Is this possible?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sure no problem
First I created an EP implementation for help (You can do this with WebDynPro or EP your call)
Second you have to create an IVIEW from the portal administration tab, you can do if create IVIEW from par if you have it uploaded or create it from the imported WebDynPro Target up to you.
Second when you create the page you include your iview as expained above and under properties of the page (this means don't check the iview box when you look at properties) ensure it opens up in a new window. This will give you a pop up help menu that you programmed yourself.
I used EP because WebDynPro seemed to be slow. Basically my help pages where just links with CSS that pointed to another server (DMS server) that was open to http links to bring up help documents for our portal.
I hope this helps
Cheers,
Devlin

How to customize my edit region which create from template page?

I created a set of templates. It contains a edit region in each template. There's a problem when I create a new page from templates, I can't add tables in it. It says "Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded." I need to open all liberty for my clients to customize their edit region. How can I solve the problem? Thanks

Thanks for your reply.
I have already try your method, but the problem still there. When I create a table, it says "Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or a translator." again.

Handling page level access to users for sub-pages

Hi,
In my webcenter portal application, in navigation , I have mainpage1 and 3 sub-pages under it: subpage1,subpage2 and subpage3. We have a requirement that users with role manager should have access to all sub-pages under mainpage1 and users with role employee should have access to only subpage3.
All these 3 pages are created in Jdeveloper (not at runtime) and have static region for different taskflow on each page. All 3 taskflows have access permission to all authenticated users.
Using WebCenter Portal Administration Console, Resources tab I am setting access levels for user groups with Delegate Security as follows:
mainpage1 -- manager and employee both have view
subpage1 - only manager have view
subpage2 - only manager have view
subpage3 - manager and employee both have view
When I am logging as user with manager role , I am able to see all three pages, but when I am logging as employee the link mainpage1 and all other subpages are hidden.
I am able to set different access permissions for different groups at mainpages but facing issue for sub pages.
Please help me if I am missing anything for setting page level access.
Thanks and Regards,
Minal

Try to add the users instead of groups and see if you get same page access error?

How do I create a new page with the existing layout of the one I've already created?

Okay, I'm extremely new to DreamWeaver, just an FYI. I've been commisioned to develop a site for a company. There will be like 10 pages total on the site. I've created the home page, and I'm now attempting to make the second one. But I don't know how I can take the basic layout I created in the home page so I can add information for the other pages later. I tried saving as template, but I had to create editable regions and those got in the way. I even tried copying all the code from the original, but then the Spry menus won't work properly. I hope I conveyed my problem correctly. Any assistance will be more than helpful.
Thanks.

There are basicly two methods, firstly the template method you have already tried, and secondly the "includes" method. Some people use one or the other, some people mix the two. I use only the includes method.
The includes method can be done in several ways. The PHP language has it's own method of doing includes. That's what I ususally use. You can also use the SHTML method. With the SHTML method, the material you wish to include is put in a normal HTML file, then in the file where the include will be put, it is done like this:

. . .and the pages/files must have the shtml suffix, not html. That informs the server that yo are using server script in the file.
I don't use Spry menus (or spry anything) so I can't suggest a reason you encountered a problem with it.

I know how to set and display help text for a page item, and I see there is the option to add help text at the page level, but how does the user accessing the screen see the page level help text?
I was thinking it might be a good way to add user help guide information at the page level.
Thank you for any assistance.

Page level validation to prevent duplicate data entry into the database

Hello,
Can anyone please help me out with this issue.
I have a form with two items based on a table. I already have an item level validation to check for null. Now I would like to create a page level validation to check that duplicate data are not entered into the database. I would like to check the database when the user clicks on ‘Create’ button to ensure they are not inserting duplicate record. If data already exist, then show the error message and redirect them to another page. I am using apex 3.2
Thanks

Hi,
Have you tried writing a PLSQL function to check this?
I haven't tested this specifically, but something like this should work:
1) Create a Page Level Validation
2) Choose PLSQL for the method
3) Choose Function Returning Boolean for the Type
For the validation code, you could do something like this:
DECLARE
    v_cnt number;
BEGIN
    select count(*)
    into v_cnt
    from
    your_table
    where
    col1 = :P1_field1 AND
    col2 = :P2_field2;
    if v_cnt > 0 then return false;
    else return true;
    end if;
END;If the query returns false, then your error message will be displayed.
Not sure how you would go about redirecting after this page though. Maybe just allow the user to try again with another value (in case they made a mistake) or just press a 'cancel' button to finish trying to create a new record.
Amanda.

Item & page level validation

1. How do I check/see if a validation rule is page level or item level, I couldn't find any difference in the definitions between the two as seen on the definition screens in APEX.
2. (Could be related to 1.) I expected the validation rule 'Item in Expression1 contains at least one of the characters in Expression2' to imply that Expression1 can not be NULL. I had to create a separate IS NOT NULL validation rule however. To me that does not make sense or is there a reasonable explanation?
tia,
Martin

Martin,
As Tony said, there is no difference between page and item validations other than the ability for item validations to have error messages positioned right next to their label.
As for the null value problem, the following "item comparison" -type validations do not produce a validation error if the specified item is null:
* Item specified contains no spaces
* Item specified is a valid date
* Item in Expression 1 contains only characters in Expression 2
* Item in Expression 1 contains at least one of the characters in Expression 2
* Item in Expression 1 does not contain any of the characters in Expression 2
This allows you to account for the null value case with a separate "not null" validation. Without this behavior there would have to be a "Item in Expression 1 is NULL OR <remainder of validation>" -type validation in addition to each of the above validation types.
However, the following validation types do result in a validation failure if the item is null:
* Item in Expression 1 equals string literal in Expression 2
* Item in Expression 1 is contained in Expression 2
This behavior appears to be an oversight, also spelled bug.

Quotes in a page level item not showing up as " when used in a hyper link

Hi all,
In my app, I need to hyper link to a crystal report application with parameters from my page. I have a page level item that puts my parameter in quotes, but when the item is utilized in the hyperlink, the quotes come across as & q u o t ; (spaces were put in to the post to avoid html conversion) how can my string be used to appear the way I want?

I don't use Crystal Reports, but, in general, you should encode your URL. When you create your link, run the URL through utl_url.escape() first. Put it in your select statement.
E.G.,
select utl_url.escape('http://oracle.com/foo"bar') from dual;
will escape/encode the quotation mark and give you:
http://oracle.com/foo%22bar
This translates the " into a URL-safe escape code, %22, that should (I hope) be understood properly by your Crystal Reports server.
Good luck.

Creating a new page type or editing an existing one?

whenever i create a new document, i select blank page then under page type list several diffent page types. i would like to edit an existing one or create a custom one. for example, every time i create a new document i have to clear out the code and type the following...
<?php
require_once('classes/class.layout.php');
$layout = new Layout;
$layout->page_title = 'This can be different each page';
$layout->render_header();
$layout->render_footer();
?>
i tried to create a template but it always wants editable regions and i don't want it to be stuck using that system. i would like the above code to be typed out every time i create a new document. is this possible? do i have to edit some kind of system file that's xml or js? i'm using CS5 and i'm on a mac.

this is exactly what i was looking for! thank you murray! i created my own Page Type and it shows it. all you have to do is add your custom document type.
inside the DocumentTypes folder you will find the MMDocumentTypes.xml file. this file contains all of the default dreamweaver document types: html, asp, php, asp.net, etc. you can add your entries here, just use the same structure. it's safer not to modify it but create your own. so i created a CustomDocumentTypes.xml file. i just used camel-case to keep the file names consistent. according to documentation, dreamweaver checks this directory and uses the settings it reads off the xml files. so as long as it's a well formed xml file, it will try to read it. if not, it will ignore it.
next i created my default page in the NewDocuments directory. i restarted dreamweaver and there it was.

How do I create a multi-page doc / add blank pages in PSE 11?

I am creating printable PDF files and up to yesterday I was using a free trial of PSE 10. To create a multi page document I first saved it as a PSE project file, then added blank pages, then when I was done I saved it as a PDF and voila - done!
Now my trial has run out I have bought the paid version (which is now version 11) and I seem to have lost that option entirely. The product is useless to me without a way to create multi page PDFs - can anyone help?
Alternatively can I downgrade back to PSE10 which was fine for me!
Thanks

Thanks - I just spent an hour online to support, they won't refund me until they can work out why it won't allow it in the new version?!! So they have shared my screen and taken my files to be worked on "at the next level" - there didn't seem to be an option to accept that this feature just wasn't available in the version 11, they kept trying to make it do it. Especially as they could open my multi page projects created in version 10 and add pages to them!
Anyway, I would be open to using another free software MichelBParis, but I found it such a steep learning curve to figure out how to do it in PSE10, it would need to be simple. Do you have links to any you could recommend?

About creating an AJAX page with DML procedures using dynamic actions

About creating an AJAX page with DML procedures in APEX using dynamic actions. Help with limitations.
I want to share my experience, creating AJAX procedures in APEX 4.0.
LIMITATIONS
•     How Can I Hide UPDATE button while I press NEW button. ??
•     How Can I Hide CREATE button while I’m UPDATING A RECORD. ??
•     How can I avoid multiple Inserts or Updates. ??
Here are the steps to create an AJAX Updatable Form using the sample table DEPTS. You can see the demo here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=15488:1]
1)     Create a blank page
2)     Add a Report Region for departments (It shows the columns deptno, dname and loc).
3)     Add an HTML Region and create the elements to edit a Department.
a.     P1_DEPTNO (Hidden to store PK)
b.     P1_DNAME (Text Field)
c.     P1_LOC (Text Field)
4)     You also have to create a hidden element called P1_ACTION. This will help to trigger dynamic actions to perform DMLs.
5)     Open Page Attributes and in the HTML Header Section include the following code.
<script>
     function doSelect(pId){
          $x_Value(‘P1_DEPTNO’,pId);
          $x_Value(‘P1_ACTION’,’SELECT’);
</script>
6)     Modify the column DEPTNO in the report, to add column link. In the link text you can use #DEPTNO# , in target you must select ‘URL ‘ and in the URL field write javascript:doSelect(#DEPTNO#);
7)     Create the following Buttons in the Form Region.
CANCEL     Redirects to URL: javascript:$x_Value(‘P150_ACTION’,’CANCEL’);
NEW          Redirects to URL: javascript:$x_Value(‘P150_ACTION’,’NEW’);
SAVE          Redirects to URL: javascript:$x_Value(‘P150_ACTION’,’UPDATE’);
CREATE          Redirects to URL: javascript:$x_Value(‘P150_ACTION’,’CREATE’);
8)     Create the following Dynamic Action to Select a Department
Name:     Select Dept
Event:     Change
Selection Type:     Item(s)
Item(s):     P1_ACTION

INTO :P1_DNAME, :P1_LOC
FROM dept
WHERE deptno = :P1_DEPTNO;
Page Items to Submit:     P1_DEPTNO, P1_DNAME, P1_LOC
Don’t include any false action and create the Dynamic Action.
The first limitation, the value of page elements don’t do refresh so I added the following true actions to the dynamic action AFTER Execute PL/SQL Code.
Action:     Set Value
Unmark *‘Fire on page load’* and *‘Stop execution on error’*
Set Type:     PL/SQL Expression

Set Type:     PL/SQL Expression
PL/SQL Expression:     :P1_LOC
Page Items to submit:     (none) (leave it blank)
Affected Elements: Item P1_LOC
These actions allow refresh the items display value.

Page level column may not be referenced

I have a report that has a data link connecting two queries. The child layout will not show up if the link is not equal but the parent layout does. What i need to do is show neither layout if the parent and child are not equal. I tried creating a summary column at the report level and set it to reset at page level. I set it up to get the count of the 'item' in the child layout. Each item has its own page and and if the count = 0 then return(FALSE).
begin
if :cs_1 = 0 then
return(false);
else
return (TRUE);
end if;
end;
I get the following error
REP-1275 Page Level column cs_1 may not be referenced forom format trigger 'R_Item'.
I have tried creating a frame around the entire layout with the same format trigger but it returns the same error.
Any suggestions on how to resolve this probelm?

Linking is different from creating one query with a foreign key relation. Its' actually two independent queries.
If you want your kind of behaviour, the easiest way is to create just one query with two groups. Like:
select d.dname, e.ename
from emp e, dept d
where e.deptno = d.deptno
This will never show deptno 40 (if you have the default SCOTT data installed).
Since you already have two queries, you can put the summary column in the parent group, not on report level.
