This is a big topic and it's not really possible to cover it in the format of a forum post.
Developing a complete theme requires a good knowledge of HTML and CSS (and increasingly of JavaScript and a JS framework like jQuery). It's beyond the scope of this forum to provide information on the basics of HTML and CSS, and/or web and UI design in general.
See this classic Cloning your Corporate UI with HTML DB blog post (HTML DB was the former name of APEX).
Before going further you should be familiar with the documentation relating to the use of themes, templates and CSS in APEX: Oracle® Application Express Application Builder User's Guide, Chapter 11: Managing Themes and Templates
Once you get started, if you have specific questions relating to the inclusion in APEX of particular HTML, CSS, JS frameworks, or components then those are the questions it is appropriate to ask here (after consulting the documentation and searching the forum and web for prior relevant discussions, and according to the guidelines in the FAQ and sticky threads).
With APEX we're fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with the issue, which we can then see at first hand.

Building New Apex Themes

Hi,
My company are an Oracle Platinum Partner who have been using Apex as their main bespoke development tool for the past 5 years.
We have built many advanced applications using our core PL/SQL skill set as well as skills picked up along the way such as JavaScript and XML.
We have always stuck to using the in-built standard themes rather than trying to create our own.
This now needs to change; we are required to incorporate a potential customers current CSS and Look & Feel.
Could someone please give us some ideas on where to start. Do we alter the CSS of an in-built theme or do we try to create our own from scratch.
Any help will be greatly appreciated
Regards
Kevin

Hi Kevin
This is standard stuff available in the documentation, but ..
1. Open your application (e.g. 200), and navigate to Themes
Home > Application Builder > Application 200 > Shared Components > Themes
2. Click on the "Manage Workspace Themes" link in the Tasks section on the right hand side.
3. This opens the Workspace Themes Wizard, choose Create option and then press Next button.
4. Then select an Application Theme to copy and press Next.
Every application has at least 1 theme.
5. You can change the name and number for the new workspace theme to be created, then press Next.
6. If all went well press Create Workspace Theme to publish your theme.
If any template classes are missing, you will need to create them before you can publish your theme.
You are now back at the Themes page, at Home > Application Builder > Application 200 > Shared Components > Themes.
To verify the theme is available:
Either in the current page, or navigate to the Themes page in your second application in the same workspace, navigate to:
Home > Application Builder > Application ??? > Shared Components > Themes
1. Choose Create to create a new theme.
2. Choose From the Repository and press Next
3. Choose Show Custom Themes to view your theme.
4. To create it choose your theme and press Next
5. Press Create when the Confirm dialog comes up.
You now have a copy of your theme, exactly as it was when you published it.
Themes cannot be subscribed, only templates can be subscribed.
Since themes are a snapshot you have better control, as you can publish versions of the entire theme.

Mark

How to create new SW component for custome development?

We are looking to develop custom webdynpros and need to create our own SW components.
I've tried to define them in the SLD that the NWDI is connected to and when creating the tracks for the custom development, I do not see our new defined SW when trying to add the SW component to the track.
Any ideas? Are we going about this the wrong direction?
Thanks!!

Once you add component in SLD if you want to add that component to your track ,there will be a button Update CMS in domain data or track data .click that and it will refresh and fetch your newly created component.then go ahead and add component to your track

Creation of New Custom Development Object in Solar02

Hi,
We are trying to create an object type of Form for a new custom development object in solar02 under tab Development,and for this I get an error that the object doesn’t exist in development environment.
Based on my analysis, it looks like Solution Manager only allows to link pre-existing development objects but not creating new objects. Is that right? If not please advice how can we add new custom objects through solution manager.
Thanks & Regards,
Sandeep Alapati

hi,
solar01/02 is the tools for documenation, it is not for creating objects.
basically it should allow you to enter any developement objects names, irerespective of whether they are created in the back end system or not.
please provide the screenshots.
Thanks

Complex forms - lots of data - Developer vs Apex

We are considering a conversion from Developer to Apex. One of the problems appears to be the level of format control for presenting information in Apex.
One of our key forms presents a huge amount of data 18 elements (on three rows) per order for multiple orders plus header information about the customer, part descriptions of the part, etc.
I have looked at many Apex examples (the demos are necessarily simple) but haven't found any that approach the level of complexity. (I understand that we will need to take a fresh look and perhaps adopt some new approaches.)
My concern is that we simply won't have enough format control using Apex.
Can anyone direct me to a really complex, dense application as an example of what can be accomplished in Apex. (screen shots would be terrific if I can't have access to the application)

Hello,
My concern is that we simply won't have enough format control using Apex.APEX gives you 100% control over the layout and look and feel of the design of your application.
Is it the fact that you feel you don't have enough control with the typical table-based layout in Apex? If so, then why not use the CSS based layout instead?
Let me phrase it another way...there are some incredibly complex website layouts out there on the internet, and since ultimate an APEX application is just HTML/CSS/JavaScript etc, then you can "reverse engineer" pretty much anything you see out there in Apex.
As for complex sites, I've seen quite a few of them, however our own site (Apex Evangelists) is a completely CSS based layout (there are a few tables tucked away there when we couldn't avoid using them) -
http://www.apex-evangelists.com
I'm not pretending our site is particularly complex (although there are some more complex client-facing pages 'inside'), however it does show that non-table based layouts are perfectly possible in APEX.
Hope this helps,
John.

Local development for APEX Cloud

I would like to develop an APEX cloud app locally and offline (my PC). Later, I'll deploy it to the cloud for testing when finished. I understand that the APEX/DB in the cloud only provides a sub-set of the features of a local APEX/DB installation. To make sure I develop a solution that will run in the cloud and not depending on features not supported, I would like to set up my local PC with the same limitations as the cloud instance. Is there a script/patch etc. that can be run to limit local features (or privs to them) to mimic the same premises and enviroment as when running in the cloud? (I think such exists for MS Azure local development).

Hi,
Here you can find what privileges are granted to application schema when you create new workspace and you do not Re-use existing schema for parsing schema.
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37097_01/doc/doc.42/e35125/priv_db_user.htm#sthref2982
If you stick with those I'm 100% sure you will not encounter problem related privileges in any hosted APEX environment.

Maybe it is time to speak about new APEX?

I need APEX without limitations of present-day APEX version.
Such as 500 rows for SQL report, 50 columns for APEX collections,
report headers without colspans, only four conditions for report row
templates (why not five or ten?), impossibility of using #COLNUM# in
generic columns templates,
ORA-06502 when exporting to Excel report with more than 42 columns and so on, and so on.
Maybe it is time for Oracle to create real powerful APEX?
Let we call it APPER (APplicaion PERfection) ;-))

I edited my message.
I want to apologize for my foolish words.
They are the emotions of tired developer.
Guys, I'm really, really sorry!
I had had two small APEX projects and APEX had showed itself the excellent tool.
I insisted on using APEX for the third project with rather complicated reports.
My arguments were: sorting ability, export to Excel ability, excellent mechanism to prepare data and design,
authorization schemes (besides, how to add several authorization schemes to the page?
Why we need to create additional "superposition" scheme?)
Now we become tired of finding workarounds. And I feel ashamed to my colleagues:
they are Java programmers and APEX was new for them. And they are disappointed with it.
More and more of our reports are created with the help of Web PL/SQL and NOT APEX.
Just because it is easier: easier to create HTML and Excel, easier to improve and to support.
We need to simplify the development process in APEX!
Denes, I know all this workarounds.
Please, don't pay attention to limit 500 - its my mistake.
I understand the idea that report must not be bigger than the screen.
But I don't think that 42 or 50 columns are enough.
For example, report with columns: object_name, month days (plan and fact values, each of them not longer than 1-2 digits)
and 2 totals. So we have for May (1 + 31*2 + 2) = 65 columns or 59 for February.
And this report will be readable.
Especially if we highlight important values.

How to register custom report under Custom Development Application

Hi 2 all
How to register custom report under the Custom Development application in R12 vision DB, and also confirm location/folder of Custom Development application in R12.
Thanks
Zulqarnain

Hi,
You may or may not need to "register" the workflow - it depends on the changes that you made and which Item Type you modified. Some applications are essentially hard-coded to use a specific item type and process, some hard-coded to use an item type but you can configure the process to use, and some allow you to specify which item type and which process to use.
Without knowing exactly what you have done, though, there is no specific advice that anyone can give you here on what you need to do, apart from to ensure that you have saved the new definition to the database.

Custom pagination for APEX 4.2 interactive report using Page Zero

Hi,
I want to implement an «Custom pagination for APEX 4.2 interactive report» using a «page zero».
I recently migrate from Apex 3.1 to Apex 4.2 and my «Custom pagination for APEX 3.1 interactive report» using a «page zero» is not working any more.
So now I try to adapt an excellent example of Jari Laine for 4.0 but using a page zero.
I put the code JavaScript to Page zero but I must create an dynamic action to fire only for an interactive report region.
It’s a good idea?
Thank you

Thought I would try once more with my DatePicker question.
On the Apex.Oracle.Com website I have created a 1 page application that has an Interactive Report.
[url http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=15655:1]
user = 'test'
password = 'test'
I have 2 questions :
(1) In IE7, press 'Actions', 'Filter'. On the Column dropdown list, select 'Order Timestamp'.
Notice the prompt icon to the right of the 'expression'. This should change to the Datepicker, but in IE7 it does not. Try the samething in Firefox or Chrome and the Datepicker will appear.
Is this a BUG, or does Apex 4.02 not support IE7 ?
(2) In Firefox or Chrome, where you can now see the Datepicker, you will notice that it is the new style picker, not the old style ( called 'classic' ). I want to change it so that it shows the 'classic' datepicker not the new, but cannot see how to do it, if indeed you actually can.
I would really appreciate it if someone could take a look and let me know if I am going mad, or if we need to get all our users onto IE8. We have now gone live with Apex 4.02 and need to resolve these issues.
Thanks in advance.

Skillbuilders Modal Page on IE8 with an IE6 compatible Apex theme

Hi,
We have been using Theme 13 for quite some time now - I'm aware it's not the best theme in the world to use but with the number of application pages we have now it will take a long time to upgrade them to a newer theme.
Recently we implemented the Skillbuilders modal page with more than a little help from Dan McGhan and it looks amazing, using any Apex theme, when using IE9, Chrome, Firefox etc. For some reason, when using IE8, we are experiencing strange behaviour.
The modal box is not showing the Close button and the right and bottom sides are hidden from view inside a parent div. This is a known issue with the jquery ui dialog, but I was hoping someone might have come up with a workaround to make it show correctly.
If you visit [url http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=62488:2:0:::::]this example with IE8 and click on the names, it doesn't display correctly.
Can anyone help? We know switching themes to a non-IE6 compatible one works but I would like to fix this without changing stuff to that extent.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards, Pete

Pete,
The page templates for the main page and the modal page are missing DTDs so the browser is running in quirks mode. Try adding the HTML5 DTD as it's the simplest:
<!DOCTYPE html>Note that this may cause other parts of the template to "break". These can be fixed but depending on the severity it may cost a lot of time to fix.

Dan

The custom development is not visible .

Hi Gurus,
I am trying to do the custom developments in SAP CRM 7 .
Eg : Creating a new component with a table view .
When I am trying to execute the custom development , Internet explorer opens but I cant see any thing .
Not even frame .
NOTE : Its not throwing any error .
Eg 2 : Adding a new view in the overview page of an existing component .
I cant see the assignment block in the view set configuration .
Is there any configuration need to be done for making the custom developments available ?

How to deploy custom development

We use JDI to deploy webdynpro for ESS application. for that we create a track, check in ESS components in the track and set up run time systems. now we are going to do custom development, for example: create interactive forms, etc.. we would like to use the same procedure to deploy modifications, but we could not found any software components to check in for the track. we are wondering, what should we do for our customer development? how do we create track without any software components? If we don't use JDI, how do you get the modifications in to development environment after they are tested in NWDI? Do you allow developers to connect to sdm for development system driectly?
Thanks
Jane Zhou

Hi,
For that we should be creating a software component in SLD.
Define the required DC's for that.
After doing this we need to create track for this software component.
From then the way to develop will be same as modifying any ESS application the only change will be instead of saying create project in inactive DC's we say create application for the new Software component.

Problem with custom development for documents in Record Management

In Record Management i have setup a record model. It contains Bor objects, documents, cases and so on.
Each kind of record managent object has it own requirements.
For the documents there is a requirement which demands that if the scandate is changed also the date till which the document must be helded in the system must be changed.
This cannot be done automatically via default SAP and i don't want to let the customers do it there selfs, to much risk they make errors, so this must be done via custom development.
The logic searches in a enhanced method for the right attributes from the importing list of available attributes of the particular document.
This is going well in the development system but when i transport it to the test system it fails. I have noticed that the content of a custom developed field ( for example ZSCANDATE) is loaded well but a default field like SRM_DOM_STORAGE_START not. The systems returns an error that the description of the attribute is missing. When i look in the DMWB ( DocuMent WorkBench ) i dont see errors, but afcorse there is one.
What can i have forgotten in my record management installation?
Offcorse the test system is a copy of a working development system, but you have also some things that are system dependent. and i think i have forgotten some of those..
If you have a idea let me know!
kind regards,
Anton Pierhagen.

Hi BalusC,
thanks for the quick answer. I tried it as you said and now I get a validation error in my h:messages tag on my jsf page after submitting the form. There are no errors in my JBoss console, just this one word on my jsf page. Do you have any idea what this could mean?
My two lists look like this:
private ArrayList<GroupBean> selectedItems = new ArrayList<GroupBean>();
private ArrayList<SelectItem> allGroups = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();The allGroups list gets filled like this:
for (GroupBean group: groups){
allGroups.add(new SelectItem(group, group.getName()));
}where groups is a simple collection of GroupBeans which I read from the database. This seems to be correct; at least my list of checkboxes shows the correct group names.
Now here is my selectManyCheckbox:
<t:selectManyCheckbox id="sensor_access" value="#{sensorBacker.selectedItems}" layout="pageDirection" layoutWidth="3">
<f:selectItems value="#{sensorBacker.allGroups}"/>
</t:selectManyCheckbox>Any idea what goes wrong here?
Thanks for your help!

Custom Authentication in Apex 4.2

Hi,
I am trying to create a custom authentication scheme in apex 4.2. I have a database table which have username and password in it. I am using a function which returns Boolean after checking the username and password. I have checked it from toad and it works fine. But, when i am calling it from custom authentication it doesn't work.
How can i configure this custom auth into my application,
Thanks,

Hello,
Can you please provide more details. What is not working?
Have you created new authentication scheme? Before this, does your application had any authentication scheme?
Best case - create sample application in apex.oracle.com and post credentials so we can have a look
