How to make menus for navigation?

I am coming from the Articulate world to Captivate. For those
not familiar with Articulate, when you publish a Powerpoint file,
it automatically creates a menu on the left with all the slide
topics that you can skip to when clicking.
How do I do this in Captivate? I see it is not automatic. I
suppose the bigger question is, what is the best way to create a
template that has functional buttons that allow me to skip to
different modules and different slides within a module as well as
the typical forward/back/exit buttons.
All of the resources I see on Captivate focus on more linear
presentations or simulations on how to fill out a form. I am trying
to create e-learning that is not necessarily linear and allows the
user to skip around to get the info they need.
I am not expecting anyone to do the work for me, but I am a
little frustrated on where to start with a solid resource on
guiding me how to create the right navigation tools.
Thanks.

Hello DmltnMn
Be welcome the community
You would like being raised links for the created slies it
will be able to create menu in his project lincando for each
presentation, a good practice.
To that be enough to go in Project> Skin> Menu and
activate the Option Show Menu oh it is enough to create his menus
indicating each slide.
I wait what is this his doubt, and what it could have helped

ADF Menus for Page Navigation

I have completed the [ADF Menus for Page Navigation|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/11/cuecards/adf_set_43/ccset43_ALL.html] tutorial.
Everything work as expected, with one exception. The 'Add and Bind Navigation Pane Components' section has you put a Navigation Pane in the menBar facet of the panel header. In the Hint dropdown you select 'buttons' and set some other properties.
When I run the finished project, the menu items in the menbar are displaying vertically instead of horizontally as the image with the tutorial shows. Why? How do I get them to display horizontally?
I really like that menu model and plan utilizing it in real world application; unfortunately, have the menubar dislay vertically in the panel header is unacceptable.
<f:facet name="top">
        <af:panelHeader text="ADF Menu Example" id="pt_ph1" size="0">
          <f:facet name="context"/>
          <f:facet name="menuBar">
            <af:navigationPane id="pt_np1" hint="buttons" var="menuInfo"
                               value="#{root_menu}">
              <f:facet name="nodeStamp">
                  <af:commandNavigationItem text="#{menuInfo.label}"
                                            id="pt_cni1" icon="#{menuInfo.icon}"
                                            destination="#{menuInfo.destination}"
                                            action="#{menuInfo.doAction}"/>
              </f:facet>
            </af:navigationPane>
          </f:facet>
          <f:facet name="legend"/>
          <f:facet name="info"/>
        </af:panelHeader>
      </f:facet>

Ok, I am still at a loss as to why this is happening.
It seems to be related to the either navigationpane or the menu meta data.
I have only foudn one difference so far. The tutorial states that JDeveloper us org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.model.XMLMenuModel managed bean class by default; however, my project used oracle.adf.view.rich.model.MDSMenuModel. When I use the XMLMenuModel, the only visible diference is in the Visual Editor and the Preview panes. The menus appear horizontally in those panes, but not when you run the application in a web borwser.
Still troubleshooting.

Making DVD style navigation menus for use in PC files

Hi There
I basically need some help with the above! I want to make a film, with menus to start with, which can naviagte to the desired chapter when seleceted. When I put the menu overlays on, instead of exporting to DVD i choose PC files, but only the film itself is saved, not the graphics or menus. Is there a way this can be done?
Many thanks in advance

Once you've added your menus and navigation, you need to Share/To Disc to burn a DVD. (You can also elect to burn the files to a folder on your hard drive.)
Are you not trying to create a DVD?
I'm not sure of any other way to make your video navigable by menus.
Although, as I explain in my books, in version 9, you can Share to a WebDVD -- which creates a web site that you can navigate through menus, like a DVD.

The only problems that I am aware of with the updater are
these:
* Some third party extensions currently don't work with
Dreamweaver 8.0.2.
* The Test SQL Statement panel doesn't render correct results
for MySQL
functions.
* The recordset dialog box strips out the MySQL CONCAT()
function from
SQL queries.
Item 1 isn't a major concern to me, as I rarely use the
extensions
affected (mainly MX Kollection 3 and extensions created by
Tom Muck).
Items 2 and 3 do concern me, but since I'm aware of them, I
can easily
work around them.
I have installed the 8.0.2 updater, and don't have any plans
to
uninstall at the moment. The changes to the server behaviors
improve
security, so that's an important reason to update. On the
other hand, if
you rely heavily on extensions created by InterAKT or Tom
Muck, you may
be better off waiting until they have updated their products,
too.

How To Use Dynamic Menus To Place Manually Created Jspx Pages On Sub-Level

JHeadstarters,
Back on the JHS trail and could use some help.
I started using dynamic menus (see section 9.2 JHS Dev Guide) to setup a custom menu structure and found it could not be easier however I need to solve 2 issues;
1. How to get more than 2 levels deep on the menus (parent, child, grand-child, etc.)? In the menu structure setup I have created a menu that is 3-levels deep however when it runs you only get 2 levels. Perhaps a template needs to be changed.
2. How can I assign manually created jspx pages to sub-level menus?
Scenerio;
I have JHS generated pages *** AND *** manually created pages. Using dynamic menus to place the JHS genned pages works fine, the problem is how to do it with manually created pages.
Using Dynamic Menu's I created a top-level menu tab named "warp-core", below it on the next level I have two sub-menus, one named "search" and one named "form" for displaying the results of the search and modifying the rows (don't ask me why they are seperate).
The problem is how to assign the manually created jspx pages to those sub-menus? Or am I going abouth this the wrong way? Perhaps I could use JHS to generate seperate search and display pages.
Thanks!
BG...

Bill,
1. Yes, you need to decide yourself how and where you want to render this third level menu. You then create a region file similar to dynamicMenu2Tabs.jspx, just replace the references to level2MenuItems with level3MenuItems. Then create a custom template to call this menu 3 region file.
For example, you could create a bulleted vertical list for level 3 as illustrated in section 9.1.3 of the Developers Guide (that example is with static menu, but you can use similar technique for dynamic menu)
2. Instead of a group name, you can specify a JSF Navigation action in the menu administration application. So, you create a global navigation case to your custom page, and you enter this navigation case id in the menu admin app.
Note that if you want to generate separate search pages, you can do so by setting the advanced search property to "separatePage".

More info needed on BC Dynamic menus and using CSS with them

Hi all,
The BC Gurus tutorial on Dynamic Menus and how to style them with CSS made no sense to me, unfortunately. The presentation was too rushed and the screen too small to see what was happening.
In a previous question I found out how to apply CSS classes to BC menus after a bit of a run around.
I was putting the # in front of the Item ID name and a . in front of the class name and this was not necessary.
I have further questions though, as I am still struggling to get a BC Dynamic menu to style properly with the CSS I have created.
1. If you choose CSS as the menu type, can you set the font, background colour and rollover state of the menu items in the Dynamic menu section? Or do you have to style it all in the CSS stylesheet?
2. If you choose CSS as the menu type, the option to say how the submenu sits under the root menu disappears. So do you need to set this in the CSS stylesheet? And if so in which element? UL or LI?
3. If you choose CSS/HTML only, how is this different to the option of CSS for the dynamic menu?
4. If you choose CSS as the menu type and if you set a width and height in the menu item, and then set a different width and height in the CSS stylesheet, which width and height wins?
5. If you want a dynamic menu to show on an Android phone, do you have to choose CSS/HTML only and do all the styling in the CSS stylesheet? Or should you avoid dynamic menus all together and just use a UL list in the template? (I am doing a responsive fluid grid layout in DW for the template).
6. I am finding that the dynamic menu I have done, with CSS as the type, does not show and hide the sub menu items properly on an Android phone. Is there a problem with the javascript in Dynamic menus?
Thanks for any help you folks can give on these questions!

.pacnew files are only created if you have modified the default (or a change has been made to the config upstream); in both cases, you should be looking to incorporate the changes.
It seems some new options are being shipped with lxdm: you want those in your config (turning them on or off is a matter for you and the man page to sort out)...

Dynamic configuration for the application

I'm a newbie and trying to evaluate JSF. I took part in a project with struts framework and i could say i don't like struts cause of some limitation and i suspect that JSF has the same limitation. First of all, there are JSP pages. I can't use JSP pages/templates stored somewhere else except web application. I'd like to store my templates in the database. This will give me ability to add/change/remove jsp page without redeploying war-archive. Yes, i can use exploded war-archive and add JSP pages straight into file system, but i don't like this way. Next problem is the configuration file like struts-config (faces-config, whatever). I have to write down all my navigation logic and beans mapping to this file and it's really annoying me. This kind of project requires dynamic configuration for the all web application and i'd like to add/change/remove pages, beans, actions without restarting/reconfiguring webapp. Today, I looked thru documentation and source code and found that FactoryFinder class could use my own classes but i'm not sure it will be enough for the dynamic configuration for the beans. In any case, it's a huge problem with the templates.
Right now i'm thinking about 1(one) JSP with XML/XSLT rendered HTML content and JSF for event/action handling. I mean, i'll use XSLT to render dynamic content and JSF for dispatching events. In that case i have to render form tag names in the HTML as JSF engine (i'm not sure if it possible). If it will take a lot of time to do this i'll have to switch a home-grown framework.
So, i really need advices how to implement this sort of dynamic behavior in the web application.
regars,
anton

A lot of what you're seeing are genuine limitations, but happily, JSF is so pluggable that you can overcome them.
JSPs are problematic in exactly the way you describe - unless your app server has support for pulling JSPs out of a database, etc., you're SOL. JSF, however, lets you use something other than JSPs by replacing the ViewHandler. That's a fair bit of work, but it is doable.
For navigation logic, you'd replace the NavigationHandler. As long as you're willing to write the code that can pull navigation rules from an external source, life is good.
For managed beans, all you need to replace is the VariableResolver - again, if you can pull the rules from an external source, you have full control.
This is all far from easy - and it's a huge amount of work for one person - but I'd imagine these pieces will become available from various sources. A core goal of JSF 1.0 was making the framework as a whole pluggable so that others can innovate on top of the framework.

Jquery menus for DW CC

So Spry is gone in DW CC. Spry of course made deploying menus very quick and easy. Does anyone have any suggestions for an equivalent tool for menus using Jquery?
Thanks

I have been using DW as well as teaching it at a college for years. I started with this program when it was Macromedia... I'm shocked by some of the discussion here. I have been teaching web 1 (intro to HTML & DW), Web 2 (DW and CSS) and web 3 (CMS) for years. I have 100's of students of experience that MANY people - new, and experienced, are in need of quick and easy tools to accomplish their needs. The learning curve is STEEP. and that hill takes time to climb. Let alone to get prepared for the next step - JavaScript, JQuery, PHP, etc. They even have to learn about servers, and domain names, and FTP etc. etc. Some people master Dreamweaver and the included FTP - and never move past it. They are amazing designers... but not developers.
First - we had a navigation builder that allowed the same states for navigation as Flash has (up, over, down, etc.). This was a quick, fun, and easy way to build a navigation system. They removed that system - but they replaced it with (IMHO a much better option) Spry. I would not call Spry a failure... it was a quick and useful tool that made building navigation really fast - and set the need for modifying CSS, but not having to build it from scratch.
Now - even the spry menu is gone. Tsk Tsk Adobe... You shouldn't remove a tool/function without replacing it when you ask people to spend money again to have an upgrade. I don't believe an upgrade should ever LOSE a function completely... I don't mind learning a new tool or better way... but to have things completely taken away? Yikes! I'm glad we don't teach at the college using the CC version. I will hold back my other complaints here, but so far... CC has not made me the happiest - I keep running into road blocks.
On the bright side... Edge Animate - super cool tool - a CSS/HTML 5 version of Flash... if you haven't tried it yet, then get into it and have some fun! And if you like to work with code - then the Edge CC Coding program is great too - unfortunately, my major disappointment? The preview portion of it only works with the ONE browser I don't/won't use... Chrome - so that sucks.
Anyway - I look forward to a resolution being found, and don't accept for one moment that it shouldn't be up to them to provide an upgraded tool... in their upgraded tool. If no upgrade to Spry is included here - then it should be left alone until one is figured out.
Just my opinion.... and just as an FYI: I'm fairly savvy with JavaScript, and Jquery... but it doesn't mean that it doesn't take me more time to have to write it, or modify it, and when you have a lot of sites to complete, update, and manage... for clients who can't afford to pay as much... it's not feasible for me to always have to go there. I need DW to be my tool of choice. Sadly, I'm finding myself turning more and more towards WordPress for a quick and easy build... not a good sign when it is free and my software costs money.

Agentry - Dynamic text for Platform wizard button?

Hi,
I want to reuse the same screen set navigating from 2 different places.
The text for the "Move to the Next Screen (cannot back up) platform wizard button should be different in each case to make it easier to understand for the end user. Apparently the only option is to hardcode a text, but I would like to know if it could be possible to use a rule or something to display a dynamic text for the wizard button.
Thank you,
Marçal

Hi Marcal,
Unfortunately that idea was shot down a while ago, though it would be nice. The general dividing rule I use is if the question is appropriate for Agentry regardless of whether it is installed standalone (like Work Manager 5.3) or on any version of SMP, then it should be in SAP for Mobile. These are usually application development or customization types of questions. The Agentry landing page is in SAP for Mobile for that reason. Though the line is definitely getting blurry now that Agentry apps are moved or moving to the SMP.
If the question relates to Agentry issues which directly involve SMP (usually installation, implementation, or configuration), then it should be in SAP Mobile Platform Developer Center.
I am planning to put together a blog or several to help go through where and why different posts should be placed. Also one about tagging!
Thanks, Mike

Dynamic, multi-level navigation

Hello~
After doing quite a bit of Google research, I am not really any closer to discovering a good tutorial for building both the backend and frontend for a dynamic, database-driven navigation system through ColdFusion. I am looking for a start on a system that will, ideally, be able to create both a navigation bar and dynamic breadcrumbs throughout the site. I am not really sure how to structure my database tables, as there are going to be atleast five levels of pages! Any suggestions would be very helpful, thank you!
KC

Well, I found at least part of my answer here: http://forums.adobe.com/message/2200187#2200187
I haven't tried breadcrumbs yet, but the nested lists work beautifully!

Are there any responsive menus for mobile in BC?

Hi folks, I've created mobile/responsive menus in DW but not dynamic ones, so I'm not sure how to do CSS for the non static content, or to address the menu specifically. I know you can govern your menu with custom css, but I'm nt sure how to write it for my menus. Anyone have examples/extensions that allow for button style drop menus for mobile like linked in or facebook?
Looking for a starting place for the mobile templates..
TIA,

Conceptual problem: AJAX Memory tree for navigation

Hello,
I have a conceptual problem with a navigation tree.
I have to implement a AJAX memory tree for navigation purposes, which should be on page 0, so this tree is on the left side of every page.
Therefore I searches some examples and found this: http://www.oracle.com/technology/pub/articles/spendolini-tree.html
So I try to rebuild this example with my custom tables and recognised that this example is very slow. I have round about 100 nodes in the tree and my database and network connection is extremly fast(I`m sitting in a proffesional data center).
So first of all I am wondering why the tree is so slow when I try to expand it and if it is possible to use this tree on the page 0.
Because of the performance problem I searched for some alternatives, but I didn`t found one.
Every custom APEX-tree is not dynamic(AJAX) and the dynamic APEX-lists can not base on a select-statement.
So at this moment I don`t know how to build a AJAX memory tree for navigation which is fast, looks good and works as expected.
Does anybody have an idea why the tree is so slow?
Are there alternatives which I can try to use?
Thank you,
Tim

Hi Tim
100 nodes is not a lot of data for a tree, so why bother with AJAX at all.
Just render the entire tree, and let the user expand and collapse nodes as they like.
APEX has a dhtml tree in the standard themes which is enough to get you started.
The issue I had with it is that it isn't stateful, so doesn't remember which nodes are open between page refreshes.
That's what got me into ExtJS originally.
If you look at my demo, I have a couple of examples worth looking at:
- [tree using APEX lists|http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=200801:2025:0::NO:::] uses APEX built in hierarchical lists, which allows conditional logic on nodes
- [AJAX editable tree|http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=200801:2013:0::NO:::] which is fully AJAX enabled.
The other point worth mentioning is if you are using hierarchical queries for your tree you should consider restructuring your data set.
Typically trees are fairly static, in that the data changes very little over time.
This makes a very strong case for maintaining the node sequence and level in a denormalised way.
Data updates become more expensive, but read operations, which will be the bulk of your operations will be very fast.
Many choices on how to implement, e.g. materialized views with refresh on demand.

Creating Context Menus for reports

Hi All,
I have a classic report with some fields. Whenever I right click on any of the values in the report column, a context menu should appear with the options I define.
Any idea abt how to do this?
Regards,
Sushma.

Hi,
<u><b>Context Menus for Lists</b></u>
As with normal screens, the system creates a standard context menu when you use a dialog status in a list. You can call this standard context menu using the right-hand mouse button (Shift + F10). It displays all of the functions assigned to function keys.
You can define context menus for list lines in the same way as for screen elements. To do this, you must assign a special function code to the function key Shift+F10 in the dialog status of the list. To define context menus for a list, you must first have defined a dialog status for the list and set it using SET PF-STATUS.
In this dialog status, which you will normally create using the List status template, the List with context menu option must be selected in the function key setting attributes. To do this, place the cursor on a function key setting in the Menu Painter and choose Attributes or Goto Attributes F key setting. The function code %CTX is assigned to function key ShiftF10. Since the introduction of context menus on lists, it is no longer possible to assign ShiftF10 freely to any
function in the Menu Painter. In any existing dialog status where a function code was assigned to ShiftF10, it has been reassigned to ShiftCtrl+0. You must activate the function code %CTX manually before it has any effect in the dialog status.
As on screens, context menus on lists are generated dynamically in ABAP programs as objects of the class CL_CTMENU.
For context menus on lists, you must program a callback routine in the ABAP program:
FORM on_ctmenu_request USING <l_menu> TYPE REF TO cl_ctmenu.

In this subroutine, you can define a context menu using the object reference <l_menu> as described in the Context Menus [Page 639] section. To define a specific context menu, for example, you could get the cursor position on the list using GET CURSOR. If required, you may need to find out the current list level from the corresponding system fields (for example, SYLISTI).
When you right-click a list line (or choose Shift+F10), the callback routine is executed, and the context menu defined in it is displayed. If the user chooses a menu item, the system carries on processing according to the function code assigned to it. The function is either executed by the runtime environment, or the corresponding event is triggered (in which case, the function code is placed in the system field SY-UCOMM).
If you right-click outside a list line, the system displays the standard context menu.
Ex.
REPORT demo_list_context_menu .
DATA: wa_spfli TYPE spfli,
wa_sflight TYPE sflight.
START-OF-SELECTION.
SET PF-STATUS 'BASIC'.
SELECT * FROM spfli INTO wa_spfli.
WRITE: / wa_spfli-carrid,
wa_spfli-connid,
wa_spfli-cityfrom,
wa_spfli-cityto.
HIDE: wa_spfli-carrid, wa_spfli-connid.
ENDSELECT.
CLEAR wa_spfli.
AT USER-COMMAND.
CASE sy-ucomm.
WHEN 'DETAIL'.
CHECK NOT wa_spfli IS INITIAL.
WRITE sy-lisel COLOR COL_HEADING.
SELECT * FROM sflight INTO wa_sflight
WHERE carrid = wa_spfli-carrid
AND connid = wa_spfli-connid.
WRITE / wa_sflight-fldate.
ENDSELECT.
ENDCASE.
FORM on_ctmenu_request USING l_menu TYPE REF TO cl_ctmenu.
DATA lin TYPE i.
IF sy-listi = 0.
GET CURSOR LINE lin.
IF lin > 2.
CALL METHOD l_menu->add_function
EXPORTING fcode = 'DETAIL'
text = text-001.
ENDIF.
CALL METHOD l_menu->add_function
EXPORTING fcode = 'BACK'
text = text-002.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.
In the dialog status BASIC for the basic list, %CTX is assigned to Shift+F10. In the
callback routine, a context menu is defined. The definition depends on the cursor
position and the list currently displayed.
If the user right-clicks the two-line default page header on the basic list, the system displays a single-line context menu. The Back function is executed by the runtime environment. If you right-click a list line, a two-line context menu is displayed. The Detail function triggers the event AT USER-COMMAND.
