Displaying an external URL in a region

Hi,
How can I display an external link (e.g. Yahoo!) in the portal itself. I dont want Yahoo! to start as a new page, but appear in the region every time the tab for that particular region is selected.
Thanks a lot for your help.

JSF pages to display content from external URLs

Hi,
Is it possible for a JSF page that uses ADF controls, and the PanelPage component to provide menuing, etc. to actually allow a HTML page (accessed via a URL to an external site/application) to be displayed in an area within the JSF page?
For example, clicking a menu item to an external HTML page results in the page being displayed in a Frame or similar within the JSF page?
I've tried the FrameBorderLayout control and Frame control to try to embed a Frame to display such a page via the target setting for a menu item, but that doesn't seem to work. At least not when within a PanelPage. It works within a basic JSP page.
I would have thought it would be possible for a JSF application to incorporate HTML content from other sites/servers as if part of the application. Even if this meant defining "wrapper" pages of some sort to effectively link these into the JSF application as part of it's navigation rules.
Or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Yes, using an iFrame tag within a verbatim tag worked, allowing me to specify an external URL to a page which is then displayed at the location where I placed the verbatim tag. I need to investigate sizing/border settings, but at least I now seem to be able to embed such pages.
This works.
I tried jsp:include as well, but that only seems to allow relative URLs to pages that a part of the application. And using the c:import JSTL tag would import a page at an external URL, but didn't seem to position it where I wanted it.

I am getting "The contents cannot be displayed in a frame" error when tried to acces an external URL configured through launchpad(ESS). How to rectify it?

Hi Guys,
We have configured ESS role through launchpad. For viewing payslips we are using an external URL configured through launchpad.
But when we try to access the configured link in ESS role, it displays "The contents cannot be displayed in a frame" .
Should I need to change some parameters/settings in Launchpad so that I could overcome this issue.
Guidance required,
Regards,
Ajeeth Kumar S

Hi Shankar Reddy Chamala,
Thanks for the alternate solution.
But the solution you have provided also ended up with the same error
"The content cannot be displayed in a frame" error.
Some additional information so that you could help me out,
The following is the test report .

The tester has mentioned the yellow highlighted property may be a cause for this issue.
I googled that the highlighted property is set by the website owners for security reasons.
Shankar I have another doubt..
Is it feasible to create an HTML document to open the external link and link the HTML document to the iview and then configure the custom iview with launchpad.?
-->If yes can you please elaborate the steps for it.
Thanks and Regards,

Form field to open a external URL passing the value typed by user in URL

I am trying to build a text field with a "Go" button beside it so that when a user types in a value (e.g. a bug number) in this text field, it opens up a external URL (e.g. bugdb URL) with the parameter being passed in the URL. e.g:
P1_SEARCH (Text field): 464666 (value)
So when I click on the Go button beside it, I want a URL to open in a new browser with the following URL:
http://xxxx.oracle.com/pls/edit_info_top?report_title=&rptno=:P1_SEARCH (P1_SEARCH should be replaced at the run time)
I tried using the branching and javascript:popupURL but I was not able to achieve the above mentioned flow.
Also, I noticed that when I try to create a button in a region selecting the option "Create a button displayed among this region's items", a javascript:doSubmit is automatically associated with it. Is there any way of changing it to javascript:popupURL?
Can somebody help me to resolve this issue? Thanks in advance.

Aex: dynamic url - need to pass corresponding column values to external url

Hi All,
I have created a report in which am trying to click on a column link which is a external url. In the url, part of column value needs to be passed as ID.
Example: Report
Name ID     Dept     Details
King     FIN3413900     Finance     Link
James     ACC3445812     Accounts     Link
So when I click on Link it should take me to the page : (See below example)
Display image for BLOB Download link in Interactive Report (For King)
Conditional regions (For James)
MessageID is no from the column ID. (FIN3413900). Hence it needs to be passed corresponding to the row clicked.
Common link is http://forums.oracle.com/forums/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID= (Only the number is derived directly from column ID).
I hope the requirement is clear. If any clarifications required let me know.
Please help me out with the possible solutions....Thanks in Advance....
Regards,
Vinoth

Hi,
Go to the Report Attributes of your report. The column you have defined for the column link click on the edit icon. In the Column Link section choose target URL and in the URL field enter :-
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/click.jspa?searchID=-1&messageID=#ID# Where ID is the name of the column that holds the FIN3413900.
Hope that makes sense :o)

ICE is there a way to allow my client to make External URLs open in new tabs?

Hi.
I have a set my client's site up with lots of editable regions so they can manage content. Although the InContext editor is great for letting my client link to internal pages, documents and external pages I couldn't find where they would select the external URL to open in a new browser tab. Obviously I can go back in and add the html to their links but is there a way they can set the target?
Cheers

The sessionstore.js file only exists while Firefox is closed. During shutdown, Firefox writes out that file based (I think) on recovery.js as of that point. When Firefox starts back up again, it reads sessionstore.js and deletes it. So if Firefox is running, it's normal not to see sessionstore.js. Anyway, sessionstore.js is going to be empty now.
Shadow Explorer might already have done this for you, but just in case...
You could try the previous versions feature. This is harder to get to on Windows 8 and 8.1, but I have read about a roundabout way. I can't test this myself, but here's what you do:
Let's say you have a Windows Explorer window open to your current Firefox profile folder. This is something like (with your username and semi-random profile folder name):
C:\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\blahblah
Click in the address bar and change the C: to
\\localhost\c$
to yield (with your username and semi-random profile folder name)
\\localhost\c$\Users\''username''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\blahblah
Press Enter to reload the folder contents that way.
Now when you right-click recovery.js, recovery.bak, backup.js or sessionstore.js and choose Properties, there should be a Previous Versions tab. Usually the most recent previous version dates back to the last time Windows created a restore point (e.g., system update or possibly scheduled on a more frequent basis).

Open external URL from Homepage Framework

Hi,
We are building our new ESS functionality with Homepage Framework and I need to create some links to external URL. I would like them to open in a different window with no portal header at all. They should appear as services listed in the menu area. While this seems easy, I had tried several things with no success.
First, I created an URL iview in portal content. I marked the option "launch in external window" to Open in a separate window.
I create a resource that pointed to this Iview, and linked resource with a "java webdynpro" service, service with subarea and subarea with area. The service link is displayed correctly but it is always opened in the portal page, not in a different one. Have i forgotten any parameter that would make this work?
A second approach was to create a resource that includes the URL and an associated service, marked as "Direct URL launched in separate window".
This succeds in calling the URL in a differeny window but it adds some strange parameters at the end. So instead of calling http://www.google.com it calls something like http://www.google.com?sap-ext-sid=2J*HeTVW7295w3QWBZhQow--

While some pages can ignore those extra parameters, in other cases, this causes a "page not found" error.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem?
Many thanks in advance to all.

Hi Daniel,
Define Resource: you have to mention all the below details
1. object name :http:// (url ).
2.window name: "".
3.window Property : target="_blank".
and also check define service:
service type: Direct url launched in a seperate window.
And assign resouce to service -
>
service to sub area--->
sub area to area---->
area to areagroup.
hope it helps............,
Thanks,

Calling external URL with POST data

Hi:
In my action bean I have to call and external URL (outside my domain), and along with this URL 'POST' data. I have tried the following code:
try {
FacesContext lclFC = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getFacesContext();
lclFC.getExternalContext().getRequestMap().put("x_loc_zip","94804");
lclFC.getExternalContext().redirect("http://www.mysite.com/personals/search/search.html");
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new FacesException(e);
finally {
lclFC.responseComplete();
This works fine in calling the other URL, but no data is sent thru the post protocol. I have no control to the site I am calling....
I have also tried
ExternalContext ectx = FacesContext.getInstance().getFacesContext().getExternalContext();
HttpServletRequest request = (HttpServletRequest) ectx.getRequest();
HttpServletResponse response = (HttpServletResponse) ectx.getResponse();
RequestDispatcher dispatcher = request.getRequestDispatcher("http://www.mysite.com/personals/search/search.html");
dispatcher.forward(request, response);
But this tends to put a "/" at the front of the called URL. Can someone please recoomed the coorect way to call a URL from yr action bean and sending it data thru post protocol. I also wish that this new URL should now be displayed within the browser. This is urgent, yr quick reply is appreciated

Myfaces sandbox form gives the ability to change its action url and port. Look here:

Navigate to external URL from secured APEX server

NOTE I am using the internal Oracle APEX server to host my application, so it may be possible that you will have to be an Oracle employee with the same access, or using a similar setup, in order to respond. Even if you are not, if you feel inclined to "take a swing" at it, keep this in mind.
Hi all,
I am using the internal APEX server at oracle to host an application (Application Express 4.0.2.00.07). I have other, NON-APEX applications hosted on other servers within the Oracle firewall.
On page 0 of the APEX application (which, as you may know, usually displays as the "header" section of every other page in the application) I have created a select list of the other projects and their associated URLs as well as a "Go" button, so users that want to navigate to the other applications can do so from this application. Since page 0 does not seem to allow the creation of standard branch items (please correct me otherwise), I have created a process on that page triggered by the "Go" button. The process currently contains the following code:
begin
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
htp.p('<script language="JavaScript">
window.open (:P0_PRODUCT_PAGES); 
</script>');
end;
That code currently replaces the existing page with a blank page and the associated URL is "https://apex.oraclecorp.com/pls/apex/wwv_flow.accept". I am assuming this means that APEX was looking for an application ID and/or page and did not get it so it "stopped" at this page.
I am unaware if there are any settings on the APEX server, DB,or associated web server preventing me from navigating outside of APEX once I am running the hosted application.
I would like to launch another properly-sized (default) browser window rather than replace the existing window pointing to the URL for the selected application.
I have also tried using the owa.util code to try to generate the proper URL but was likewise unsuccessful.
NOTE: I am not looking for different ways to do this by changing server parameters, settings, etc. since I do not have server rights to do this. Additionally, due to time constraints, I would prefer not to be drawn in to a discussion of the comparisons and/or benefits of owa.util or javascript over the other for navigating to an external URL from within APEX, etc. (I'm not trying to be a "punk", but I AM under the gun to resolve this with very limited time). In light of this, please indicate if you have a working option to do this under similar conditions that I can implement quickly. I have done much research within the forums and Googled extensively for information from outside sources but have not yet found something that will provide the proper results.
If you are an oracle employee and wish to contact me directly, please email me at [email protected]
Crossing my fingers and hoping someone has done this before.
Many thanks in advance; your useful contribution will actually contribute to lessening the world's INSOMINA factor considerably (mostly mine). ;)

Opening a URL in a new tab or window has to happen in the browser, without submitting the page. The server doesn't know about browser windows. Use:
onchange="window.open(this.value);" in the HTML Form Element Attributes property of <tt>P0_PRODUCT_PAGES</tt> (making the "Go" button unnecessary), or, if the "Go" button is required to match the LAF:
onclick="window.open($v('P0_PRODUCT_PAGES'));"in the button Attributes property, ensuring the button is a template button including the <tt>#BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES#</tt> substitution string, e.g.
<input type="button" value="#LABEL#" #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES# />Ensure that absolute URLs are used in the <tt>P0_PRODUCT_PAGES</tt> where necessary, specifying the correct scheme for the site, so that you are not trying to go to <tt>{noformat}https://apex.oraclecorp.com/pls/apex/www.google.com{noformat}</tt> for example:
f?FOO:BAR:&APP_SESSION. // other APEX app hosted on apex.oraclecorp.com sharing the same authentication scheme
https://foo.oraclecorp.com // other secured internal site
http://www.google.com // unsecured external site

"3+40 - 146: failed to load external url adobe.form.embed.min.js"

I am trying to embed the form into a google website: sites.google.com/site/pjdsptostern, on The PTO Dues tab.It is giving me the error message: 3+40 - 146: failed to load external url adobe.form.embed.min.js. Please help

For background, start by taking a look at http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1991.
It looks to me like google sites has encoded the form embedding inline script. But I don't see a script include of adobe.form.embed.min.js. I suspect that tool that you used in google sites does not allow including an external script.
Also, did you type the script in yourself or did you use the 'Embed' button on the 'Distribute' tab to copy / paste the embed script? The 'formId' property in your web page is incorrect. It should be 'mNonzBdS0Ua7ymHHAyBuKw' but appears as 'fmNonzBdS0Ua7ymHHAyBuKw' in your web page -- note the initial 'f' is incorrect.
The embed script for your form should look like this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://formscentral.acrobat.com/Clients/Current/FormsCentral/htmlClient/scripts/adobe.form .embed.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var fmNonzBdS0Ua7ymHHAyBuKw = new ADOBEFORMS.EmbedForm({formId:"mNonzBdS0Ua7ymHHAyBuKw", width:700, transparent:true});
fmNonzBdS0Ua7ymHHAyBuKw.display();
</script>
This script is designed to work from a web page that supports both external and inline script. Some web page frameworks do not support external script because the external script can violate the design principles of a particular framework.

Do view life time and view recent property apply for external URL from crawling?

Hi All,
I wonder that do viewlifetime count and viewrecents apply for the external URL from the crawler?
I saw it does work for local SharePoint URL but not too sure for the external URL.
And in that case, is it possible to sort the search result by viewlifetime/viewrecent for both Local SharePoint Sites and External Site from crawler?
Best Regards,
Andy

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to use viewliftime and viewrecent property when crawing external URL.
Per my knowleage, the viewlifetime and viewrecent property does not apply for external URL from crawling.
In my environment, I can edit the refinement panel in search center page to display viewlifetime and viewrecent when I crawl SharePoint Sites.
However, when I crawl external site, in the search center page, I cannot get any information about the result items.
Here is a great blog about how to crawl external site for your reference:

To open an external URL from your application

Hello All,
Please guide me in below scenario as I am new to SAP UI5.
I have created a SHELL application with 5 tabs.
We have a requirement where on clicking of a tab in the application it should open an external url. I am using "link" element of sap.ui.commons library. On press of link to action function I am using below code to open external url content.
location.href = "http://google.com";
It is opening in the same tab but I have been navigated away from my application.
As per the requirement external url content should be opened without navigating away from my application.
I am attaching the screenshot.
Thanks

Hi Jagadeesh,
See this code for reference.
This is my view.

              return "demo.view1";
       /** Is initially called once after the Controller has been instantiated. It is the place where the UI is constructed.

Submit form to external url

Hi,
I'm trying to submit a form from HTMLDB to an external url. I've tried using the buttons (both in a region position and not), but can't seem to get this to work. I don't want to redirect. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?
Linking to an external url is no problem, the problem here is getting the form to submit to the external url. Any help would be appreciated!

I need to clarify what we're trying to do. I have an app built with HTMLDB that is used by people in our company to view/edit customer data. We also have a support website that our customers can log into to view their status, complete certain tasks, etc. We want to be able to submit a page in the HTMLDB app to the support website. That way our customer service reps can click on a link from within the HTMLDB app and be automatically logged into our support site as that customer. (assuming they are looking at that customer's record) The problem i'm having is getting the page to submit. I've tried creating a custom button, but for it to go to a separate url it wants to do a redirect (which is not what we want). Is there a way we can submit the form on an HTML DB page to an external app?
