Customize accordion interaction issue

Hi
I am trying to customise the accordion interaction to remove the header, and change the formatting of text. I manage to turn off the header, when I preview it in the web browser it works fine. When I publish the course and load onto the web, the header appears with the standard text included. Is this a known bug? Are there certain themes that work and others don't? Any thoughts how I can fix this?
thanks
Danielle

Hi Vikram,
No, I am not yet loading it into the LMS, just testing, so I FTP the files to a test location on our website. I have discovered a bit more - if I publish to swf, it works fine. However, when I publish to both swf and html5 then it doesn't work and place the files on the test site, the interaction title appears, even though it is turned off. The behaviour of the files are different when you view them as published on your computer, and when I test them on our site.
regards
Danielle

How do you set the Text in an Accordion Interaction?

When trying to set the text in the Accordion Interaction, it behaves very strange. You can't set it. It starts out at 13 and then changes to either 10 or 30.
Can anyone give some advise on how to set this?
Thanks.

Hello,
Logged that bug (as well, have a long list). Workaround depends on your hardware: for some scrolling the mouse wheel will allow to change font size (doesn't work for me). On my Lenovo Thinkpad I have to use the trackpad, that has a scrollbar, to change the font size. Very cumbersome, was promised that it would soon be patched, crossing my fingers.

Accordion Interaction: Additional Tabs

I would like to use the Accordion interaction or the Tab interaction. But I need two more tabs. I have been able to add one. How can more tabs be added?

Hello and welcome,
There is a minimum and a maximum number for most interaction buttons. In case of both the Accordion and the Tabs minimum is 2 and maximum is 5. You cannot got beyond them.

No audio in accordion interaction after publishing as HTML5 in Captivate 7

Hi guys,
we have a problem with the accordion interaction in Captivate 7. After publishing it as an HTML5 project the audio (mp3) doesn't play on the accordion interaction slide. The interaction itself looks great and clean, and the audio plays fine in .swf and preview, but it doesn't play when published as HTML5.
Any suggestions? Do you need more info? Let me know.
Thanks so much again,
Nat

Add the file to your Captivate install directory Gallery > Interactions folder. (Make a backup copy of the original file in case you need it later.)
E.g. C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 6 x64\Gallery\Interactions
Make a note of the name of the interaction. Then open a new Captivate project and from the Insert menu, select Interactions.
Find the interaction in the screen and insert it into the slide.
Then configure the interaction, publish and test.

Trying to build an accordion interaction..

Yes, I have Captivate 7 and realize that there is the Accordion Interaction available; however when I attempt to fit it on my screen (1024X610) - it is just illegible due to the small font as I shrink it proportionately and it gets distorted. Here is something that I had created:
...using tools from within Captivate and grouping elements from each section together. At first I thought to myself - "No problem, I will just click on a section and it'll just move the previously active section out of the way. Obviously I wasn't thinking that through because each section of text (in the grey box) may be longer than the next. How could I move them up and down without obstructing the view of the others? I'll have to do something involving changing the "y-coordinates" of each section grouping, am I right? If so, not sure how to go about that.
I thought the user would click on the colored band to get to the section, then click on the "X" (which are currently buttons) to close it. Make sense? Would really appreciate your input on this.
Thanks.

Hi
To move the accordions up and down, you can use effects. For the accordion content (grey colored box), I would suggest using Scrolling Text interaction instead of the regular text caption or smartshape.

File Adapter vs BPEL interaction issue on high availability environment

Hi all,
i would really appreciate your help on a matter i'm facing about a composite (SCA) deployed on a clustered environment configured for high availability. To help you better understand the issue i briefly describe what my composite does. Composite's instances are started by means of an Inbound File Adapter which periodically polls a directory in order to check if any file with a well defined naming convention is available. The adapter is not meant to read the file content but only its properties. Furthermore, the adapter automatically makes a backup copy of the file and doesn't delete the file. Properties read by the adapter are provided to a BPEL process which obtains them using the various "jca.file.xyz" properties (configurable in any BPEL receive activity) and stores them in some of its process variables. How the BPEL process uses these properties is irrilevant to the issue i'd like to pose to your attention.
The just described interaction between the File Adapter and the BPEL process has always worked in other non-HA environments. The problem i'm facing is that this interaction stops to work when i deploy the composite in a clustered environment configured for high availability: the File Adapter succeeds to read the file but no BPEL process instance gets started and the composite instance gets stuck (that is, it keeps always running until you don't manually abort it!).
Interesting to say, if I put a Mediator between the File Adapter and the BPEL, the Mediator instance gets started, that is the file's properties read by the adapter are passed to the mediator, but then the composite gets stuck again 'cos even the mediator doesn't seem to be able to initiate the BPEL process instance.
I think the problem lies in the way i configured either the SOA infrastructure for HA or the File Adapter or BPEL process in my composite. To configure the adapter, i followed the instructions given here:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/integration.1111/e10231/adptr_file.htm#BABCBIAH
but maybe i missed something. Instead, i didn't find anything about BPEL configuration for HA with SOA Suite 11g (all the material i found refers to SOA Suite 10g).
I've also read in some posts that for using the db as a coordinator between the file adapters deployed on the different nodes of the cluster, the db must be a RAC! Is that true or is possible to use even another type of oracle db?
Please, let me know if someone of you has already encountered (and solved :)) a problem like this!
Thanks in advance,
Bye!

Hi,
thanks for your prompt reply. Anyway, i had already read through out that documentation and tried all settings suggested in it without any luck! I'm thinking the problem could be related to the Oracle DB used in the clustered environment, which is not RAC while all documentation i read about high availability configuration always refers to a RAC db. Anyone knows if a RAC Oracle DB is strictly needed for file adapter configuration in HA cluster?
Thanks, bye!

How to customize an interactive report PDF using a BI Publisher template

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to get an interactive report to work with BI Publisher. I want it so that I can create a custom RTF template with custom headings, and then apply this for the interactive report.
On the front end, when a user runs an interactive report, they are able to hide and show columns, and then click on Actions > Download > PDF. I want this to access the custom template and return a PDF based on this template, and also showing the columns that the user has selected in the interactive report.
I have already created a custom RTF Word Doc in BI Publisher, and have uploaded it into a report query created in Apex. I am not sure though how to apply this report query to an interactive report, or if that’s even what I’m supposed to do to get it to work the way I want it to.
When editing the Report Attributes, under Print Attributes, there is a section called Printing.
Under this, there is a "Print Server Overwrite". I thought this is where you can specify your report query. But I am not sure if I even need a report query because I don't understand why you have a report query that is based on a static query, when in an Interactive Report, the user can hide columns.
I have Apex 4.0.1.00.03 and Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.0d installed.
Thanks,
Gage

Hi Gage,
Custom RTF and XSL-FO templates are currently only supported with classic report regions and report queries, but not with interactive reports. So you would need to create a report query based on the SQL statement you used for your interactive report and then associated your template with that report query. Unfortunately you won't be able to use any of your customizations, filters, or column selections this way. We're planing to support report layouts with interactive reports in the future.
Regards,
Marc

Spry Accordion Display Issue

Hi guys
I have tried to implement a Spry Accordion function using DW CS3 to allow me to display current and previous news on a website, however I am having issues with getting it to display properly. You can view the page here: http://www.amiante.co.uk/news.html
When testing the site in various browsers I noticed a glaring issue, underneath the According there is a massive white space, which to me appears to be the space that would be taken up if each panel of the according were to be opened at the same time....
This issue occurs in Firefox 3.5.3, Safari 4.0.3, Opera 10.0 and Google Chrome 3.0.195. It seems to work faultlessly in IE 8, IE 7 and IE 6.
The confusing aspect is that if you zoom in (ctrl +) and zoom out (ctrl -) it seems to remove the white spacing.
If anyone has any idea of what is causing this I would be delighted to hear from you!
Thanks in advance.

Thank you so very much, I appreciate the quick response. However, I still have one small issue. For some unknown reason the bluestar tab does not show the star. It shows the tab, but no star. I've got it labeled correctly and it's pointing to the correct files, but I get the blue by itself. I know it must be a very simple solution and I must be doing something incorrect.
the files are under:
images/accordion/accordion_tabs_bluestar.jpg, and accordion_tabs_redwhite.jpg. The redwhite shows up. This is driving me nuts! I even went back and re-did the image file and saved it again, but all I get is the blue without the star. Can it be that the image is too big and cutting off the star that is to the right of it?
Thank you so much, I do greatly appreciate your kind help.

The code was copied and pasted exactly as was suggested. There is no other blue tab file on the server, so I am confused just a bit.
Thanks again for helping an newbie, I appreciate it.

Spry Accordion Image Issue

I have inserted a Spry Accordion in Dreamweaver CS5, however, I'm having issues with the viewing of the tabs on load, on hover, etc. I want a dark blue tab on load, have it change to a wavy red white tab, and when opened go to a dark blue tab with a star. I can never get this to work as I want. I've checked the image files and they are labeled correctly. The test site is www.sbcvote.us/index_spry.html
I am a novice, and really have a hard time on this issue, that no doubt is not that complicated to those that know.

Accordion Panel issue?

I am trying to rearrange the order of my accordion pannels but can't seem to change the stacking order by dragging one panel above the other. Well I should say I can do it but not to the very top ie: panel 3 created but now I want it in the panel 1 spot. Any work arounds or suggestoins.
Thanks

Well, I went into my site and discovered I "worked around" that issue. So, I don't feel like messing with the accordion panel as it has 8 seperate panels and it took me a very long time to redo (alot of typing) it. If I messed it up or crashed.... I would not be a happy camper. Anyhow thanks for the response. If I create a new one I will check it out.

Accordion link issues IE

Hi,
I'm writing a site for work and I decided to use the spry
accordion.
I'm having an issue at the moment with the links in the
accordion content divs when I have an overflow
I have specified a height on the div and if the content takes
up more than the height of the div, I have put an overflow in
place. (standard thing to do)
But the issue is that all the links stay stationary and do
not move when scrolling up or down when the overflow is active.
This problem only happens in IE6, 7. I've tried quite a few
different way to see if I can get the links to follow the scroll,
but nothing seems to work.
Please help me.
Pete.

Accordion Height Issue

I have apage I am working on and testing the Spry and various
elements on...
http://www.tommylogic.com/web-design/
I have the tabs opening fine now and all styled like I want
it. The issue I am having is on 3 items:
- When I first try to open and close the panels, the first
click never opens it. Only after the 2nd or thrird click or tab
that I click on.
- When they do open, they open in consistent heights,
sometimes with a scrollbar, sometimes not.
-Then when I get one open it wont always show all the
content in that particular panel <div>.
- If I close specific panel that is open first, then open
the new panel, it seems to do a bit better, but not always the
same.
I am passing it through like this
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1");
var acc8 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", {
useFixedPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: -1 });
All the heights are cleared in the CSS as well.
Any clues?
//////////////////////// resolution
removed extra line and changed var to Accordion1
var Accordion1 = new Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1", {
useFixedPanelHeights: false, defaultPanel: -1 });
and some minor css tweaks in there as well.
Thanks Anyway... -T

Wrap the Accordion in a VBox and you should be all set.

          vb.label = "MyVBox" + a;
          vb.width = 200;
          vb.height = 100;
          acc.addChild(vb);

Accordion menu issues since update on Feb 26

Hello
I have been experiencing problems with my accordion menus since the update. I get 'warning: accordion might push down content' in the warnings panel.
Menus that previously pushed the footer down and when expanded and then when contracted moved the footer up now do not work they spill over past the footer. I have made sure the "overlap items below' is unchecked, I've cleared my browser cache, restarted the machine, deleted the existing accordions and replaced them with a new versions etc all to no avail.
My previous site archives created in previous version of muse are all working fine with the footer automatically moving as the accordion expands and collapses. now with this update it seems broken and just at the point where things were about to be taken live. I have looked at other accordion issues on the forum which seem to point to a bug.
Any help please?

Shiny_Sparkly, if you're on the Mac and the crashes bring up the Apple Crash Report dialog, the crashes are most likely caused by a bug introduced by the update to AIR 3.6 and not the update of Muse. They just happened to occur within a few days of each other. The AIR team is actively working on an update to address this bug. In the meantime, you can downgrade to AIR 3.5 by uninstalling AIR (using the uninstaller in Application/Utilities) and installing AIR 3.5 from here <http://download.macromedia.com/air/mac/download/3.5/AdobeAIR.dmg>. After installing, when you launch any AIR app (like Muse) it will ask you to update to AIR 3.6, click "Later".
If you're on Windows or the crash/error doesn't bring up the Apple Crash Report dialog, it would be helpful to have more details of the error/crash you're encountering. Thanks.

HTML inserted into a MUSE accordion widget issue

In Adobe MUSE 2014.3.1.44, I have inserted an HTML snippet into a MUSE accordion widget:
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”https://burkeauto.workstiming.com/external/next_available_time.js”></script>
When published all I see is the clock numbers to the top left corner of the page—no other page content and no accordion—just the unformatted clock at the top left corner.
The snippet works fine outside the accordion widget.
When not inside the accordion the HTML frame is normal, but as soon as I insert it into the accordion it adopts the attributes like other widgets, with the round blue icon on the top right corner of the frame and a stripped down context menu.
Adobe chat support has duplicated this on their end and suggested that I post the issue in the forum.
Any thoughts?

Brad,
Thanks for helping think this through!
First, yes, that is the whole script. There are actually two scripts (clocks) I want on a single page:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://burkeauto.workstiming.com/external/next_available_time.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://burkeautomall.workstiming.com/external/next_available_time.js"></script>
They can be seen properly functioning together here: http://www.burkeauto.com/starttimes.html
I have been requested to put the page content from the above link in an accordion widget seen here: http://www.burkeauto.com/genuine.html
Click on the Light Maintenance Service tab. This is where the two scripts (clocks) are to go. Currently by clicking "CLICK HERE FOR NEXT AVAILABLE START" I am linking to page with the scripts/clocks outside the accordion.
I tried the script/clock in the accordion and publishing the site with the Light Maintenance Service tab open—still does not work.
As mentioned in the original post, Adobe could replicate the issue, but did not offer any resolution, and the forum has been quite on my post.
Any other thoughts?
