Note sent to APEX SIG members...
The deadline is Friday to submit an abstract for an APEX presentation for Collaborate '08!
Don't miss the opportunity to submit an abstract to present for the IOUG at COLLABORATE 08 - Technology and Applications Forum for the Oracle Community - being held April 13-18, 2008 in Denver, CO! Share your knowledge and expertise with the Oracle community and submit your abstract to become an IOUG speaker. Abstracts must be submitted by Friday, October 26, 2007 to be considered, so start planning your session now!
Enjoy the recognition that comes along with being a presenter, where you will enrich your own knowledge through teaching others and be recognized as a leader in the Oracle community. Plus, you are able to attend the rest of the COLLABORATE 08 conference for the opportunity to learn from other education sessions and network with other speakers and attendees.
To learn more about education at the IOUG Forum at COLLABORATE 08, and to submit your abstract today, please visit:
http://www.ioug.org/events/Call_for_Speakers_08.cfm
Don't delay - submit your abstract by Friday, October 26th.
Nervous? Questions about the experience? Need help proof reading? Feel free to ask your SIG members/leaders/this forum for help.
Questions about submitting an IOUG abstract? Please contact [email protected] or call +1.312.673.4894.

If you are wondering about topics...this forum and its threads provide plenty of possibilities. You can see many of the recurring questions and topics with variations on a theme that would really attract a crowd.
Off the top of my head - topics on: AJAX functions/functionality, javascript, tabular forms and dependent drop-down lists, manual tabular forms, pdf printing and report templates without BI Publisher, report and tabular form - dynamic column formatting and attribute setting...I'm sure you can think of many more.
Any of these would draw a crowd and might just justify attending the conference for some APEX developers who need to know "how" and can network with those who know how.

Submit Button Works for Me but Not Client

I have created an interactive PDF form, using Adobe Acrobat 7, for my client so they can pass it to their clients. It's basically an agreement form where they have to sign and date then press the submit button to email it to my client when finished. I used the combo box tool to create the submt button: Under the Actions Tab I chose mouse up for the Select trigger, Submit a form for the Select Action, selected PDF completed form and the URL as mailto:clients email address.
I tested it on myslef and saw that it opens Windows Live, which is my main email program, and it successfully opened the email with the attached PDF ready to send. I then sent the file to my client, who uses Adobe Reader 8, and says that when she presses the submit button an error message pops up saying operation not allowed.
At this point I'm fairly stuck on what I should to to make this work. Any suggestions as to how I can fix this or why it is doing this? Thank you.

George Johnson wrote:
As mentioned by others, you can configure the form to submit just the form data, but only if it doesn't included digital signatures. You'll need to send the entire PDF if it does.
Acrobat 8 is not the latest version, so Adobe no longer sells it. Acrobat 10 (X) is the latest version. Also, why are you using a combo box instead of a button?
Mostly because I'm very new at interactive PDF's. This isn't my usual job for them, just helping them out. They gave me a link to a tutorial site for interactive PDF's and this is how they showed me to do it. So I really don't know anything about these, that's why I am here.
If a button is the way to go then I'll try it. I went a ahead and did that and sent a test to my client to see if it works better.

I used a GarageBand loop in a video I made for youtube. I want to submit this video for revenue. First, is this legal? Second, youtube requires written permission to use songs, and provides a comment box for proof of permission. What do I put in this box?

Second, youtube requires written permission to use songs, and provides a comment box for proof of permission. What do I put in this box to prove It's ok for me to make ad revenue from my video?

Yes, you can use GarageBand loops for commercial purposes. Here's the Apple Doc:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2931
(Basically the only thing it excludes is to re-distribute the loops as loops.)
I don't know about the YouTube form, maybe you just fill in "Apple Loops", they certainly have come across this before.

Hi Amit,
if I understand correctly, you just need for a particular object a tooltip to be showed.
There is no such functionality hence you used the trick of using a hyperlink, which if clicked generates undesired behavior.
Hyperlinks don't allow themselves to be disabled, therefore if you are using that workaround you must cope with that.
I would suggest to create an Idea at [https://ideas.sap.com] for having in the properties of an object a tooltip, then post the link to the idea here and other users will vote if they like the idea.
Thanks and regards,
Simone

I downloaded an app that isn't working correctly. Is there a way I can submit a request for a refund?

All purchases are final via the Itunes Store.
Refer to the support for that App either on the developers website or the support link for the app on the app's page in itunes.

Is there a deadline to get the $79 upgrade price for LR4?

I'm currently running LR3.6, but its on a 4+ year old HP Pavilion with an AMD Althlon 64 X2 running WinXP. Obviously I need to upgrade to Windows7 before upgrading to LR4, but from what I'm reading, I need to upgrade my hardware too (its past time anyway). Unfortunately, its probably going to be a few months before I'll be able to spring for a new machine, so I'm wondering if there is a deadline to get the $79 upgrade price for LR4. If so, I might need to buy it before the deadline, even though I don't have a machine I can run it on yet.

No, the $79 price for the upgrqade is based on the new pricing of LR4...aside from some sort of special promo at some point in the future, I'm pretty sure the new price is the normal price.

Despite formatting I am unable to italicise words? any ideas please I have to submit an essay for my MA degree in 2 days!

Despite usin the formatting button and shortcut I am unable to itallicise words - (the bold and underline work) Any ideas please - I need to submit an essay for my MA degree in 2 days and need the Harvard referencing right!

Windows fakes an Italic by making it lean at an angle.
Tahoma doesn't actually have an italic and Apple has adopted a strict WYSIWYG with fonts since OSX came out.
Choose another font. The separate styles will be list in the Font palette.

Partial Submit type something for InputDate Component?

Hi,
I am using Build JDEVADF_11.1.1.3.PS2_GENERIC_100408.2356.5660. I have an ADF table inside my page fragement. One of the column inside table is of InputDate type. Whenever I am clicking input date my complete page fragment gets initialised or refreshed. I don,t want that because I have a method which is getting executed because of it again and again which is giving problem to me. Is their any Partial Submit type anything for Input Date component to resolve this.
Regards,
Vik

As a tree stamps it's children (nodes) and each node can be different, a tree as such don't partial submit. The node content however can issue a partial submit.
You can also add an other component as partial trigger target in the node selection listener using
// PPR refresh a jsf component
AdfFacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addPartialTarget(UIComponent);Timo

Submit: Great Skype for Windows Phone ideas

We have just launched a new Windows Phone idea board to let you all share and exchange your ideas on how to improve and develop Skype for Windows Phone.
Before you start sharing your ideas, here are some guidelines to help you get started:
Idea Submission Guidelines
Search before posting. Do a quick search and make sure you are not submitting a duplicate. If the idea already exists show your support by giving kudos to the original idea rather than watering down the potential impact across multiple submissions.
Draft your idea. Be as clear as possible, tell us what your idea is, how it would benefit users and why you think we should consider it. That will not only help us to better understand what you want, but we may even be able to solve your problem more quickly another way. Please avoid text speak and keep the idea short and to the point. Ideas are available within a limited number of topic sections of the community as they are not discussion threads.
Currently you can choose one of the following topic labels for your ideas:
Video Messaging
We‘ve just launched Video Messaging on Windows Phone so you can now send video messages to family and friends, even when they’re not online. Let us know what you think of Video Messaging on Windows Phone and any ideas you have for how we can make it better.
Phone Integration
Tell us how you would like Skype to be integrated with Windows Phone. Would things be easier if Skype was better integrated with the People Hub? Integrated into the messaging app? Or in the dial pad?
Contacts
How can we make it easier for you to find friends and family on Skype and add them as a contact? What are your thoughts on how contacts are managed on Skype for Windows Phone? Do you have any recommended improvements?
Calling
Tell us how you would like Skype to be integrated with Windows Phone. Would things be easier if Skype was better integrated with the People Hub? Integrated into the messaging app? Or in the dial pad?

Some things to include:
Start with a clear title
add appropriate label(s)
list features and benefits
Review the ideas of others. Look at other ideas to see what your fellow community members are requesting and feel free to exchange on them in the comments section. While we take into account the numbers of kudos an idea receives, we also consider the amount and quality of member feedback when making our decisions.
Add value. Vote for those items that you like and agree with by giving the idea a kudos. It's really a significant way to recognize someone's effort. We are using votes as a barometer to find out more about what our contributor community thinks is important, so we can factor this into our prioritization process.
Submit a new idea. Adding an idea is just like posting a message on a board. To create an idea, click on the “New Idea” button, located on the left side of the page content tab, and in the left column under the actions heading click “create an idea”. Be sure to enter a clear title and description of your idea so others can decide how they would like to vote. Remember, the more complete your thought, the more likely it is to get noticed! You can use simple HTML, format the text, or add links or images. You can also preview your idea and check your spelling before you post the idea.
Do not be discouraged. Sometimes what seems simple may not be so simple to build. Some ideas take longer than others, and some ideas will not be possible within the scope of what we want to accomplish in the next year or so.
Be respectful. Comply with the Community Guidelines and Skype etiquette.

If I am not comfortable submitting my idea over the Internet, is there another way I can do so?
No.

I would really appreciate if you guys work on the feature “ custom backgrounds for chat notifications”.If users will be able to choose any image of their liking in the custom background feature if would add value. Currently some of the chat messengers provide this facility to the users which makes interesting to the users while improving user friendliness and satisfaction. Options that would include areTake a photoChoose from albumsSearch from webDeleteThat appears to be a reasonably robust selection. In search, a user can use a built in engine to pull up images based on search and then select it as it their choice. Once you chose an image, it will be asked to confirm and ‘set’ as the universal chat window for all contacts.

I would really appreciate if you guys work on the feature “ custom backgrounds for chat notifications”.
If users will be able to choose any image of their liking in the custom background feature if would add value. Currently some of the chat messengers provide this facility to the users which makes interesting to the users while improving user friendliness and satisfaction. Options that would include are
Take a photo
Choose from albums
Search from web
Delete
That appears to be a reasonably robust selection. In search, a user can use a built in engine to pull up images based on search and then select it as it their choice. Once you chose an image, it will be asked to confirm and ‘set’ as the universal chat window for all contacts.

Deadline is Friday to submit an abstract for Collaborate '08
