Create single text feild to display in select list

Hello, i am going round in circles with what i need to acheive. i have this on a previous post but not sure if what i was asking was correct
what i need to do is have a item size select list for the end user BUT in the backend i need to have a text feild or text feilds that can be manually changed. the db has a prod table with
ID
Desc
Price
Size
feilds, so i was thinking if it was on a single line text feild that could store all the sizes in one feild in the db and can be changed in the backend
OR
how paypal buttons do it where the backend has a add size function so you can add a set a
mount of sizes and can manually change them is need be, beacuse i will need the backend to show if a product has sold out and wanted to be able to type "sold out" then show that in the select list
thanks in advance for any help

ok i have made the table
CREATE TABLE `hostprop`.`beauSizes` (
`SizeID` INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY ,
`name` VARCHAR( 80 ) NOT NULL , -
`from` VARCHAR( 155 ) NOT NULL ,
`to` VARCHAR( 155 ) NOT NULL ,
`age` VARCHAR( 155 ) NOT NULL ,
`size` VARCHAR( 200 ) NOT NULL ,
`sold` VARCHAR( 20 ) NOT NULL
) ENGINE = MYISAM
I have made the design number "name" rather than design number (this is the name of the feild in the product table)
the product table looks like this
ID
int(11)
No
auto_increment
name
varchar(200)
latin1_swedish_ci
No
price
varchar(80)
latin1_swedish_ci
No
desc
text
latin1_swedish_ci
No
imageSmall
varchar(200)
latin1_swedish_ci
No
imageLarge
varchar(200)
latin1_swedish_ci
No
CatID
varchar(200)
latin1_swedish_ci
No
SizesID
varchar(200)
latin1_swedish_ci
Yes
NULL
does this look correct?

Data display in Select List

Okay, here's an easy one for you gurus. I've searched the forum but I can't seem to find how to control this.
I've got a couple select lists on my page. When I click to get the list of values some of the select lists diplay the data downwards, below the field. However there's one select list that displays the data upwards. Why is this one doing this? Only difference I can see as this one has more data than the others.
Thanks for your help!

My guess would be that it's a browser-specific decision based on the size of the list and its proximity to the bottom of the visible portion of the page. Try a different browser and/or scrolling the box closer to the top of the screen.

Create a collection from Shuttle or Multiple Select List items

Hi all, this may be a dumb question, but I cannot find how to create a collection using the values stored shuttle item? I just want to assign the values of the shuttle which are usually delimited by a colon (ex. 11:22:33:44:55) into a collection that stores each of these values separately so later I can select * from table where id IN(select * from collectionname) --- is this possible?
I am running into a problem where users want to select more than 1000 items in a shuttle to do a search.... and the IN operator cannot handle more than 1000 instances. I was told to try to use a temporary table to house the values of the shuttle, but temporary tables pose a problem with APEX. I read on the forums to try using a collection instead. Any thoughts?
Thanks.

Would this be a good start?? I found this here... Re: Search on a typed in list of values
Not sure how the View would work though??
A much easier way of doing all this is to create a collection, create a view off that collection and then do your select from the view. No custom functions or types involved. An example is:
DECLARE
l_vc_arr2 HTMLDB_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;
BEGIN
l_vc_arr2 := HTMLDB_UTIL.STRING_TO_TABLE(:P13_MULTISELECT);
htmldb_collection.create_or_truncate_collection( p_collection_name => 'MULTISELECTCOL');
FOR i IN 1..l_vc_arr2.count LOOP
htmldb_collection.add_member(
p_collection_name => 'MULTISELECTCOL',
p_c001 => l_vc_arr2(i));
END LOOP;
END;
where your view looks something like:
CREATE OR REPLACE FORCE VIEW "WS"."TEMP_MULTISELECT_VIEW" ("MULTISELECTID") AS
(SELECT c001 FROM htmldb_collections WHERE collection_name = 'MULTISELECTCOL');
and finally for your report you use something like:
SELECT t.a
FROM tablea t
WHERE t.b IN
(SELECT roleid FROM temp_multiselect_view)
This way is simple and works... so by KISS standards its good.
Hope this helps some other unfortunate....

How to create a report based on selected item from Select list?

Hi,
I have created a tables_LOV based on:
select table_name d, table_name r from user_tab_cols
where column_name like '%_type%'
Then I created a page item ListOfTables, Display as select list and pointing to tables_LOV.
I run the page, and i can select the table i want from the drop down list.
How to create a report based on the selected item? (ex: select * from selected_table)
many thanks in advance
Salah

Hi Salah,
Allright, have a look at this page: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=vincentdeelen:collection_report
I think that simulates what you're trying to accomplish. I've set up the simplest method I could think of.
The report is based on an apex collection. If you are not familiar with that, you should study the documentation: APEX_COLLECTION
To recreate my example you should:
1) create an (interactive) report on your collection
SELECT *
   FROM APEX_collections
WHERE collection_name = 'MY_COLLECTION'
2) create a page_item select list for the tables you want to display (in my case this is called "P38_TABLES" )
3) create a dynamic action that triggers on change of your select list page_item. The dynamic action must be a PL/SQL procedure perfoming the following code:
declare
l_query varchar2(4000);
begin
l_query := 'select * from '||:P38_TABLES;
if apex_collection.collection_exists
        ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION' )
then
    apex_collection.delete_collection
      ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION' );
end if;
apex_collection.create_collection_from_query
    ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION'
    , p_query           => l_query
end;
Make sure you add your page_item to the "Page Items to Submit" section.
4) Add an extra true action that does a refresh of the report region.
Here are two pictures describing the da:

3 buttons and 2 select lists in a single line

Hi,
I have an application which has 3 region buttons ( say, b_1, b_2, b_3) and 2 selects lists (say, sl_1, sl_2). I want to display all the five buttons and items in a single line in the following order:
b_1 b_2 sl_1 b_3 sl_2
I have set Begin on new line = no
and Begin on new field = no, for both the two select lists.
But it does not seem to work.
Do anyone have any idea, how to sort out this issue?
A quick reply would really be appreciated.
Regards,
AM

Hi Vikas,
Please have a look into the application at
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=34363:1:6206621111100168:::::
I have created two select lists P1_X and P1_Y. These items are hidden on page load event. When the associated button is clicked the list should appear on the page.
Written the following code in 'Pre element text' for each of the items:
P1_X :: <input type="button" value="X" onclick="f_X();" class="t17Button" />
P1_Y:: <input type="button" value="Y" onclick="f_Y();" class="t17Button" />
Where, f_X() and f_Y() are displaying the select lists.
As you can see, the select lists are appearing just below the html buttons, which I want side by side with the buttons.
Could you please figure out the issue?
If you want I can share my login details.

Change display value of "select list"

Hi!
I have a problem with a select list, I want to change the display value through an own pop up (page 5 of apex application) after I submit in it.
The select list is based on a sql query:
select A_NAME display_value, A_ID return_value
from APPLICATIONS
where a_application_type='GROUP'
order by 1
beside I have an link to open a pop up window:
... onClick="window.open ('f?p=&APP_ID.:5:&SESSION.::::', 'newWin',
'scrollbars=no,status=no,width=500,height=270' ...
On the pop up site there is a tree and a submit button which close the window and renew the original page:
javascript:window.opener.location.reload();window.close();
Through the tree I get the value (Group-ID) which I need.
When I'm back on page 4 a "before header" renew page process links again on the side 4 and change the value of my select list. Afterwards the values have changed correctly but the display value is still the old one. It only change when i go on an other page of the apex application and come back.
I don't know why it doesn't change immediately!?
Thanks ahead

I have done with a solution just in a nutshell of what u r looking for:
1.create HTML region.
Add two items : Select list with redirect(P6_X) and text field(P7_X)
2. Select list is based on LOV query as :
select empno d,empno r from emp ;
Source value is Empno Type:DBcolumn.
3.The text field Source type : SQL Query .
Query : select ename from emp where empno = :P6_X
Now select from the dropdown empno and it will populate the Ename value accordingly based on the query .
U can have more than one text fields and populate those in the same way.....

How to Create a Text Variable

Hi Experts...
Can you please explain me how to create a Text variable...
In my Cube i had 3 different date fields....
and as per my requirment i need to create a rolling report for which will display data for 6 months rolling.
As the date field which i need to use is not mapped to Time Char's (Cal Year,Cal Month...etc)
For that reason i created below customer exit variable and used offset variables to achieve the rolling 6 months report
Code used for Customer Exit VAriable:
WHEN 'ZC_Cmonth1'. " Current Cal Month Car Expiry
IF i_step = 2.
      CLEAR l_s_range.
determine date
    LV_SYDAT     = SY-DATUM.
    LV_YEAR_ACT = SY-DATUM+0(4).
    LV_MONTH_ACT = SY-DATUM+4(2).
Set begin date of intervall
CONCATENATE LV_YEAR_ACT LV_MONTH_ACT '01' INTO LV_DATE_LOW.
Set end date of intervall
CONCATENATE LV_YEAR_ACT LV_MONTH_ACT '31' INTO LV_DATE_HIGH.
Fill ranges-tab with: include all values between beginning of year
and actual date
CLEAR E_T_RANGE.
CLEAR L_S_RANGE.
L_S_RANGE-SIGN = 'I'.
L_S_RANGE-OPT = 'BT'.
L_S_RANGE-LOW = LV_DATE_LOW.
L_S_RANGE-HIGH = LV_DATE_HIGH.
APPEND L_S_RANGE TO E_T_RANGE.
ENDIF.
Now i need to create TEXT VARIABLE that will display the Month Name in the column name
Please update in detail step how to create a Text Variable

In your specific requirement select the which ever the keyfigure you want to analyse, go to edit mode of keyfigure propeties there select the newvariable type and create the Text variable by maintaining the proper offset start and length and also maintain the in whcih format u want see the month name in column headers. Maintain the Text format or key format. it totally depends on u r requirement.
Hope it will help ful for u.

How do we handle a item in both as a select list & text

Hi All,
In my application, i have used Create button..when ever a create button is clicked a "Select List" will apper..
Similarly i have also a "Edit" icon when ever a icon is clicked it will also the same "select list item"...
Now the end user is asking to make the select list item as redaonly when we clik on Edit icon...
How to handle this scenerio..
The way i have done is as of now is that i have created two items with the same name one is for select list &
the other is for the text item using conditional i have managed..
But i would like to know is there any other way with out creating any extra item & by using only the select lits item can we achieve it or not.
Thanks,
Anoo..

Hi Anoo,
You mentioned in your original post that you have a select list item and a text item, and that you're using a condition to determine which one to show. For the Read Only condition for a single select list item, you would specify the condition you currently have that is telling ApEx to show the text item rather than the select list.
The idea here is that if the Read Only condition evaluates to TRUE (currently in edit mode), then the select list item will render as read-only; if it evaluates to FALSE (currently in create mode), it will render as a normal select list.
Hope this helps,
John

I got so frustrated I started over. I'm following the how to create a manual form.
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/tabular_form.html#MANUAL
The problem I'm now having is even though I display items as hidden, there is a column holder on the report for them. If I go into the report attributes and toggle the show attribute off I cannot reference an items value in my logic. I used /&nbsp/ for the column heading but I still get the little sort arrow where the column heading should be. I tried to toggle the sort attribute off but the sort arrow still shows up. How can I use the apex_item.hidden and not get a place holder for the column on a report? Thanks, Elizabeth
Here is the code I'm using to generate the report:
select x.ceah_people_lang_id,
x.language_id,
x.proficiency,

Select List/Text Field

On my form I have a dynamic select lists What I want to do is that, if the required value is not in the select list, then the user can type it in. Then on saving the record the value is added to the select list.
Any ideas appreciated
Gus

Hello,
I guess the easiest way to do that is to put a text item next to the select list.
If you don't find the value, you type in there.
Or you could add for ex. an other in the select list and when that's selected, the text item gets visible.
Next to that you want a process that handles the insert into the table.

Dimitri

Cascading Select Lists - Not Working for me

I am trying to implement Denes Kubicek's Ajax Cascading Select List solution.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:119
But it is not working for me.
I'm a newbie to APEX and checked the forum for advice on cascading select lists. I saw the thread for
"Cascading Select Lists - Not Working" posted by sue and the replies by Varad Acharya, but I'm still
having issues of not seeing the alerts, not able to run the pl/sql process in SQL Workshop, and not
getting the expected results.
I have a list of countries (US - USA, CA - CANADA, etc.) and a list of states for each country. When a
user selects a country I would like to show the list of states within that country.
This is what I've done so far:
Defined an application process:
Process Point: On Demand: Run ... by a page process.
Name: CASCADING_SELECT_LIST1
Process Text:
BEGIN
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
HTP.prn ('<select>');
HTP.prn ('<option value="' || 99 || '">' || '- All States -'
|| '</option>'
FOR c IN (SELECT state_code || ' - ' || state_desc d, state_code r
FROM tbk_state
WHERE country_code = :cascading_selectlist_item_1)
LOOP
HTP.prn ('<option value="' || c.r || '">' || c.d || '</option>');

Varad,
First, thank you for taking the time to try to help me with this problem.
When I view the page's source code (here are the first few lines):
<html lang="en-us">

<script src="/i/javascript/core.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/i/css/core.css" type="text/css" />

pSelect.appendChild(l_Opt);

It looks like line 17 is:
var l_Select = html_GetElement(pSelect);
I'm still not sure why I'm getting this error and why it's not working?
Thanks,

Tabular form with select list not updating

I have created a tabular form with a dynamic select list
select primary_key, column1,
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(10,column2, 'select descr d, column_value r from lookup_table where column_value = '||column1) column2
from main_table
The select list appears to work correctly but the new value is not saved to the database. I assume this is because the tabular form element display as field for column2 is set to "standard report column" but when I select any of the "display as text" or "LOV" options either the current data is not displayed or errors are generated.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Bob

Hi Ian,
As you have seen, sorting on the project_manager_id column will sort by the id value rather than the textual value. This is, of course, because this is the value in the field.
I haven't tried this out, but one thing that may work is the fact that you don't have to include the ORDER BY fields within the SELECT statement. You could, for example, do:
select p.project_number, p.project_manager_id
from projects p, users u
where p.project_manager_id = u.id (+)
order by u.name
Obviously, you won't be able to do this in the existing statement as you would then be blocked from using column sorting. However, it implies that if you could construct the SQL statement dynamically, appending appropriate ORDER BY strings to the end of the base select statement, you could sort by anything you like. This does, of course, mean that you would have to create a mechanism to allow the user to select the sort order, generate the appropriate string and reconstruct the entire sql statement.
I had had a similar request quite a while ago. The underlying reason for that request turned out to be that the user just wanted to quickly locate records relating to one person. In the end, we agreed that a search filter was the best thing to do.
Regards
Andy

Alternate select lists on 2 columns and return more than 1 column

Hi,
I try to build 2 alternate select lists and each select list should return more than 1 column
2 Columns PART_ID and PART_SPECIFICATION
Now I build a select list on PART_ID like
select part_id d,part_id r from parts;
The result should be:
Column PART_ID has PART_ID and PART_SPECIFICATION must be text of PART_SPECIFICATION
The other select list based on PART_SPECIFICATION should be like
select part_specification d,part_id r from parts;
Now it should be displayed part_specification in PART_SPECIFICATION and part_id in PART_ID.
This is because one user knows the part_id and another knows only the specification
Please help me

Hi Siegwin,
Check your application Page 7(copy of page 500) using select list instead of plugin, it gives all values.
and works very well,
use ajax process to get Xml data into page items
following are changes
application process: getData
application item : TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM
create one function in page html header pull_multi_value()
and it call on page item p7_empno on html form element attribute as onchange="pull_multi_value(this.value)";
this may Helps you,
Pars.

Report with Select Lists problem

Hi all,
I have a sql report with this query:
select
'Hello World' Col1,
apex_item.select_list_from_lov_xl(1,'Data 1','TEST_LOV') lov1,
apex_item.select_list_from_lov_xl(1,'Data 2','TEST_LOV') lov2,
apex_item.select_list_from_lov_xl(1,'Data 3','TEST_LOV') lov3,
apex_item.select_list_from_lov_xl(1,'Data 4','TEST_LOV') lov4
from dual
Where TEST_LOV is a LOV that return 400 rows. The problem is that this report gives me an error:
report error:
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
I am able to create a workarround using ajax, but I don't think this is the best way.
Does anyone knows why this happens or any solution??
Thanks,
Alejandro.

Hi,
OK - My page is defined as:
The report is based on the following SQL:
select
"EMPNO",
"EMPNO" EMPNO_DISPLAY,
"ENAME",
"DEPTNO"
from "#OWNER#"."EMP"The DEPTNO column is the one that I need a select list for. I have not used the APEX_ITEM package to handle this, but I expect it could be done that way as well.
On the DEPTNO column, I have the following settings:
Display As: Select List (query based LOV)
Named LOV: -Select Named LOV-
Display Extra Values: Yes
Display Null: Yes
List of values definition: SELECT NULL d, NULL r FROM DUAL
Note that it is important that you use these exact settings.
I have then created a new PL/SQL region on the page below the tabular form. The region should use the "No Template" template to keep it hidden from view. The Region Source is:
DECLARE
vSEP VARCHAR2(1);
BEGIN
vSEP := '';
htp.p('<script type="text/javascript">');
htp.p('var sMaster = new Array(');
FOR c IN (SELECT DNAME d, DEPTNO r FROM DEPT ORDER BY UPPER(DNAME))
LOOP
htp.p(vSEP || 'new Array (' || c.r|| ',"' || c.d|| '")');
vSEP := ',';
END LOOP;
htp.p(')');
htp.p('</script>');
END;This defines a hidden select list as a javascript array using the actual values from the DEPT table.
I then have an HTML region underneath that, again using "No Template", that has the following as the Region Source:
<script type="text/javascript">
function updateList(sChild)
var o;
var sChildValue = sChild.value;
sChild.options.length = 0;
o = new Option('-Select-', '');
sChild.options.add(o);
var k;
for (k = 0; k < sMaster.length; k++)
o = new Option(sMaster[k][1], sMaster[k][0]);
sChild.options.add(o);
sChild.value = sChildValue;
if (sChild.selectedIndex == -1)
sChild.selectedIndex = 0;
function updateLists()
var lists = document.getElementsByName("f03");
var k;
var x;
if (lists)
for (k = 0; k < lists.length; k++)
updateList(lists[k]);
updateLists();
</script>For this example, you will note that I am refering to "f03" (in the updateLists() function) - my DEPTNO column's SELECT tags have "f03" as their NAME attributes. This may need to be changed for your page.
And that's it!
When the page is loaded, the tabular form is constructed. Due to the settings I've applied to the DEPTNO column, each list will actually consist of a NULL entry and the value on the record (that's due to setting Null/Extra Values to Yes).
Then, a hidden select list is constructed as a javascript array. And, finally, we loop through each of the "f03" items on the page, take a note of the value already there, replace the contents of the dummy select list with the contents of the array and then select the original value again.

Select List (query based LOV) in V. 4.1.1.00.23

Hi guys,
I am having some problems with an APEX application that I have exported from V. 4.1.0.00.32 and imported on V. 4.1.1.00.23.
I have a Tabular Form region where I have a column which is Display As "Select List (Query based LOV)".
If I add a new row - choose a new value (not the same as any of the above rows) and "Apply Changes"/"Submit" the value in the new row changes to the value of the 1. row of the tabular form :-( I can update this new row and then it saves the right value... It looks like it is only when inserting a new row.
Is this a bug or is it a feature ;-)
Hope you can help...

Leo,
Thanks for the response, but I don't think you quite understand my problem. If I go to the Column Attributes screen for the group_id field, I have the "Display As" drop down set to "Select List (query based LOV)", not "Select List (named LOV)". This requires that the sql query be written in the "List of values definition" text area below. Within that text area I have the following query:
SELECT DISPLAY_NAME, GROUP_ID
FROM APPLICATION_GROUPS
WHERE APP_ID = ?????
ORDER BY 1
The APP_ID that I need to reference is for the current row of data that is being processed. Therefore, I can't use a :PNNN_APP_ID variable, because that field does not exist on the page.
Hopefully this explains it a little better.
Thanks,
Kris
