Custom Web Apps

Hi all,
I have a requirement like this. I have a Category of Blogs and Blog posts
So lets say category of blog needs following fields
Title
Publish
Lets assume blog posts will have the following field sets
Title
Category ( a list of categories from category webapp )
Description
Can i know how can i get the category dropdown from another webapp? Or is there any solution for this instead of creating a webapp?
Thanks in advance

Hi Liam Dilley,
Thanks for helping me and i have one more query in my website. I created two web apps like JOB TYPES and JOBS
In JOB TYPES we have list of JOB TYPES classified as " Classified" and " Direct " . So now in front end i want to display all the JOB TYPEs of " Direct"
Lets assume job types like this
JOB Type Fields
Job type name
Job type ( dropdown as " Classified" and " Direct ")
So we can have like
Administrative       Classified
Automative            Direct
Information           Classified
Now i want to display the Classified type categories in one block and Direct categories in another block. Can you suggest any solution for this?
Thanks

Is it possible to leverage InDesign Server templates in a custom web app?

Hi there,
I am building a custom web app and was hoping to leverage our existing InDesign Server templates within our web app. What I would like to do, is based on user input, show my template with the user's input in the browser. I have looked through the API guides for InDesign Server CS6, but I haven't been able to conclusively find anything that will allow me to use the APIs to call the server, send the data points the template requires, and then get an image back from the server.
I believe this is possible, I am just not sure how to achieve it! Any ideas or articles that help push me in the right direction would be extremely helpful!
Thank you!
Marshall

Yes it's completely possible. There are two parts to making something like this work:
1. The scripts themselves. You can generally script InDesign Server and desktop InDesign exactly the way using ExtendScript. So that's the part of the process where your script receives variables and passes them into the template and replaces something you've identified as variable, whether text or an image or something else (perhaps a color theme, etc.). You should get your scripts running on desktop before playing around with server.
2. The messaging between your web app and the server. Whatever language you are using (i.e. PHP, .Net, Java, Ruby…) there is a way to make a SOAP call to InDesign Server to tell it basically "run this script with these parameters". You should get the "hello world" script running from a SOAP call on the server before using your real variable-driven document.
The documentation of these things is available here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/indesign/sdk.html
You need to download the InDesign Server SDK (don't worry if you're on CC and it says CS6, almost nothing changed) and the InDesign Scripting SDK. The Server SDK deals with part #2 above, the Scripting SDK with part #1.
It really isn't that hard. I should warn you, though, that it is addictive and once you do your first one you will become all-powerful and want to do nothing else. :-)
Good luck and don't hesitate to ask questions.

How to add a custom web apps root page?

I saw in Jan 2013 System Update the following:
"Render a custom page when accessing the root URL of a Web App. For example, if you have a “blog” Web App, the items can be made accessible at /blog/my-blog-post, and you’ll have the ability to customize the /blog page"
Could someone point me in the correct direction for instructions on how to make use of this feature.
Couldn't appear to find a link from the Blog release notes to anything, and also tried trawling through support and forums for a suitable post.
Closest I found was one about using sub-folders for web app items.
I've tried adding a page in website admin, with the same URL as the web app, but it simply throws an error as it clashes with Web App url.
Cheers
Mike

Hi Mike.
Because a folder can have a index.html Web apps in the past you could not access that ability. You had to make a page and you could not SEO call it the same as your web app.
SO
Your web app is called Blog.
You can now make a folder in your root called Blog.
In that folder you can create a page and give it a url of index.html
Now when you access the a web app directly - www.yoursite.com/yourwebapp or www.yoursite.com/yourwebapp/index/html you will access that index page.
You can also put other pages under that folder if you want too.

Web link to pass the parameter to custom web app then update the field

Hi,
I have created the web link in service request object to refer Account Object. I want to let user able to select the account from web link then base on the current SR no and account that have created update the record in CRMOD. My question is how to pass the parameter out to my external web app so that they can update my SR correctly?
Thank you

Hi Messer,
I have put in the syntax as below :-
https://secure-ausomxega.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/AssocAccountPopup?mapBC=Service+Request&OACTRL=Account&ophi=PopupNewForm.Account+Id&pfid=PopupNewForm&OMTHD=AssocPopup&OMTGT=PopupSearchList&assocInit=Y&opht=4&OAOBJ=Service+Request&mapField=Account&ophd=PopupNewForm.Account&ophpd=3&disableclear=Y&ophr=AssocAccountPopup&assocval=&ParentType=Edit
This pop up screen wil let the user to select the account then i will pass the account and the SR to external web app to update back the CRMOD. I am not too sure the above syntax is correct or maybe can you give some example.
I am new in CRMOD, hope that you can advice on this.
Thank you,

SSO of custom web app and ALBPM

Hi
Recently we have to integrate a custom app and ALBPM on weblogic server,
we want to implement Single Sign On between the custom app and ALBPM workspace,
hopefully on application level
(our custom application is using acegi security backed by LDAP right now)
but seems the authentication of ALBPM is quite proprietary and tends to be container-managed.
could anyone can kindly tell me how should we get start on this?
Thanks

Hello guys,
someone knows how to implements "fuego.workspace.security.SSOWorkspaceLoginInterface" or find some API documentation, javadoc about this interface?
for now, Im try to find some help or documentation about SSO in workspace, So when I did decompilation to find more answers.
package fuego.workspace.security;
import fuego.sso.SSOLoginException;
import fuego.web.SSOUserLoginInterface;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
public interface SSOWorkspaceLoginInterface extends SSOUserLoginInterface {
     public abstract void setupAuthenticatedSession(
               HttpServletRequest httpservletrequest,
               HttpServletResponse httpservletresponse) throws SSOLoginException;
     public abstract void processRequest(HttpServletRequest httpservletrequest,
               HttpServletResponse httpservletresponse) throws SSOLoginException;
package fuego.web;
public interface SSOUserLoginInterface extends fuego.sso.SSOUserLoginInterface {
package fuego.sso;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletResponse;
// Referenced classes of package fuego.sso:
//            SSOLoginException
public interface SSOUserLoginInterface {
     public abstract String getUser(HttpServletRequest httpservletrequest,

     public abstract String getPassword(HttpServletRequest httpservletrequest,

     public abstract boolean skipFDIAuthentication();
     public abstract String getLogoutURL();
     public abstract String getLogoutRelativePath();
}And I decompile fuego.workspace.security.SSOWorkspaceLogin to see the logic inside this classe
package fuego.workspace.security;
import fuego.sso.SSOLoginException;
import fuego.web.SSOUserLogin;
import javax.servlet.http.HttpServletRequest;

// Referenced classes of package fuego.workspace.security:

     public void setupAuthenticatedSession(
               HttpServletRequest httpservletrequest,

public class SSOUserLogin extends fuego.sso.SSOUserLogin implements

Email web app rating feedback to customer

We have business directory (customer submitted web app)
Attached to the business information page (Web app detail page) is a rating feedback module (Comments)
When customers provide feedback or rate the service (web app item), we would like an email sent to the customer (web app item owner) to notify them that someone has provided feedback/rated their service
Comments on web apps are not moderated, so there is no opportunity to do something with workflow here
Any ideas if this is at all possible and how to accomplish this?
Thank you in advance

Hi Scott,
You could create a web app which as a text (string) field in it for customers to enter the URL they want to redirect the customers to. Then place a JavaScript redirect inside the detailed layout, which would look like this:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Give them access to secure zone, place a web app item creation form onto it and you're good to go.
Cheers,
mario

Can't Edit Data in Access 2013 Web App

I have an Office 365 P1 account that I have been using to create apps in Access 2010. I tried Access 2013. But when I launch an app, it loads in my Office 365, but editing data is not enabled (the Add and Edit buttons are displayed, but not enabled).
I have tried creating a new custom web app with one simple table and a view, as well as creating one using a Microsoft pre-built template, and simply creating the app and launching it. In both cases, the app displays, but I cannot add or edit data.
Is there something with my Office 365 account that is limiting my ability to work with Access 2013 web apps?
Thank you!

Hi KrisMarshall7,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
What the file format is your Access 2007 file? MDB or ACCDB?
Where do you want to add the columns? Table, form or query?
As far as I know,
the limitation of columns in a table is 250. Thus, I suppose that the database had some hidden columns. Please try to check it. Steps:
Right-click any field title, then select Unhide Fields. A dialog box will appear. Click the check boxes of any fields you would like to be visible again, then click Close.
Hope it's helpful.
Regards,
George Zhao

How do i add my access web app into a iframe on a "site page"?

I just created a MS Access "custom web app", and published it on my site.
Then i can open the Access form when i click on the link in the menu at my site. The problem is just that it removes my site logo and all the menu's. Well, its like fullscreen.
What i really want is to show the form in the first page of my site, "Home".
I have tested insert -> "Embed code", and then enter the following code:
<iframe src="https://xxxxxx.sharepoint.com/sites/xxx/xxx/databaselist></iframe>
It just shows this warning: "This content cannot be displayed in a frame"
Then i found this site: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/officeapps/archive/2012/12/12/iframing-sharepoint-hosted-pages-in-apps.aspx
Quote:
SharePoint page developers can opt-out of clickjacking protection by adding the AllowFraming control to their .aspx pages:
<WebPartPages:AllowFraming runat="server" />
Well, does anyone here know how to do this with a access form?

Screenshot of how it looks when i try to show a ms access form inside a iframe:

How can I link a web app item to another via Next link

I would like to add a next link and previous link on a web app detail layout. Then people can scroll through the detail layout items without going back to the list view.
I'm creating a portfolio with a description of the project details and links to external websites. There is no tag for that purpose.
Any suggestions? I'm a bit new at custom web apps and editing the layouts with css.

Hi,
you would have to create 2 additional custom fields as text (string) field types and name them something like, "next item url" and "prev item url". Then you would have to enter the next and previous item url manually for each individual web app item. You can include the new tags in the detail view, something like <a href="{tag_prev item url}">Prev</a> and <a href="{tag_next item url}">Next</a>.
Hope that helps.

Obiee 11g and custom j2ee app using the same cookie name

Hi,
I wrote a same j2ee web application. i'am using authentification through a realm configured in the web.xml.
This web app is deployed in the same weblogic than obiee 11g. What i want to do is to embed my application in a dashboard using an iframe tag, and use the same login from analytics to my custom web app.
In this article http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11035_01/wls100/security/thin_client.html#wp1039551, it is said that by default, all web apps in the sames weblogic server are using the same cookie name so that they share authentification between them. However, i have read in the web that analytics in obiee 11g is using a cookie with the name "ORA_BIPS_NQID".
In the weblogic.xml of my custom application, i set the cookie-name parameter to ORA_BIPS_NQID. However, in the dashbord, it still prompt for authentification to my custom web app.
How can we share authentification between analytics and a custom web app in the same weblogic ?
NB : I dont want to pass the username et password through the url.
Thanks.

By default, if you don't specify a cookie-name in the weblogic.xml configuration file, the weblogic server create a cookie named JSESSIONID for your application. For exemple, if two applications use the default configuration, both of them will use the same cookie name which is JSESSIONID. In this case, when you log in the first application, your are automaticaly logged in the second application with the same credentials. I have already test this kind of integration and it works perfectly. You only need that the two applications are deployed in the same weblogic server.
Now, i want to have the same behaviour between obiee 11g and my custom application deployed in the same weblogic server. I read somewhere in the web that obiee 11g presentation service (analytics) is configured with a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID". So in the weblogic.xml configuration file of my web app, i specify a cookie-name value = "ORA_BIPS_NQID" to have the same cookie-name between the two application. But, it still not work. It prompt for authentification in the dashboards.
I now, that such an integration is possible, because the other bi applications (mapviewer, bipublisher,...) are actually other web applications. However when using, for exemple, maps in dashbords, the mapviwer application automaticaly user the credentials of the user connected in analytics.

Setting up a web app search field that searches all web app data

Hi BC forum
We have this web site - bridgerd.com.au - and we are finding limitations with the web app search bar (where it says: Search Bridge Rd). This search bar will only search for data within the Web App 'description field'. We're wanting it to work a little more like the site search module, where it searches all content of a particular web app - including data from different fields.
Obviously this would be a great out-of-the-box feature for BC, and it seems to be an annoying limitation. Has anyone overcome this issue before? Is there a way to search all fields by concatenating a bunch of hidden fields into one submitted search using java script. Or could we using java script to copy the same entered search value to all fields whilst hiding all but the main search field?
Cheers

Actually, let me clarify this... Is there a way to expand the "Keyword" field search in web apps past the limits of only searching the "Content" field?
OR
Is it possible to include the custom fields in our web app to the search criteria? When I add the web app to the page, it seems BC will only add the default web app search fields. If I can add the custom web app search fields, I may be able to employ my theory as per last post.
Cheers

BC webMarketing plan and web apps

I've just built a site in BC using web apps. The site was paid foryesterday, went for the webMarketing plan, and now access to the web apps have dissappeared. I thought I had the right plan as, on this page, http://www.businesscatalyst.com/pricing/monthly when hovering over the listed item "Built-In-Modules" it states that web apps are available to take your site to the next level. However, having done some further investigation into why I no longer have access I came across this page http://helpx.adobe.com/business-catalyst/kb/detailed-plan-breakdown.html and that lists them as only being available in the webCommerce plan.
This is all pretty annoying as conflicting information has been provided, and the hosting plan is going to cost double what I originally thought. Am I right in thinking I have been mislead here, or have I mis interpreted something?
Grant

Hi Grant,
Web apps and modules are seperate entities. It does not say web apps but modules.
You can clearly see in the webCommerce you have Custom web apps listed there.
The tooltip though is wrong, that does read incorectly and I have reached out to the website team to change that.
Wont be intended, it is a new site for them that went live before xmas and being in the industry we all know we spend a bit of time making a tweaks, fixes and changes for a bit of time after.
I am sure they will be very grateful for the good spot from yourself on this

Got errors when trying to open word document with Office Web App Server and customized WOPI host

I am configuring the Office Web App Server with our ASP.NET MVC WOPI host based on this example. https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/office/Building-an-Office-Web-f98650d6. While both the OWA server and WOPI server has been set up and I can use Excel and PowerPoint
app to open and edit xls and ppt file now, there are problems opening word documents no matter I enable or disable the editing function of OWA server.
When I open a word document while enabling editing I got this error:
If I disable editing I got this message:
I have tried several file so I thought it is not the files' problem. Also I didn't find any exception in the log of OWA server.

SharePoint Apps and custom web services as remote services

Hello,
After reading documentation about Apps for SharePoint compared with SharePoint solutions I did not find any information about "You
can develop your custom web services as remote services.".
Could you please give me links or advise, where I can get information - "How to develop custom web services as remote services" using SharePoint 2013 Apps?

Hi,
I would suggest you to use WCF service instead of Web Service,
also, SharePoint 2013 introduces a Representational State Transfer (REST) service that is comparable to the existing SharePoint client object models.
Get started with the SharePoint 2013 REST service
About develop custom web services as remote services,see Demo here:
