Editing Local Dynamic Pages - How To?

I figure this should be something simple but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. In the past I believe this is something I was able to do in DW.
I've set up my website locally running off my local server and everything there seems to be working in DW. I can view the live page and live code. However, I can't view the live page and edit that page.
Does anyone have any recommendation on how I can best add some code into a dynamic page? I'm running CS5. Here's a screenshot of an example. Let's say I wanted to insert some simple code where the arrrow is.
I really need some help on this as it's something I was under the impression I could do. Thanks for any help you can give.

When I turn off Live Code and leave Live View on the code displayed is just of index.php (no matter what live page I'm on). So I can't really edit anything.
That's right. Those files contain nothing to edit. It's all just PHP programming that the server parses into content from the database and countless other files (server-side includes).
A WordPress site really is a one page site -- index.php. That page is re-created on the fly each time someone clicks a link or uses the search bar.
If you have worked with WordPress before, you should know you cannot edit dynamic pages in DW. You can only edit the parts that make up those pages. Those parts are inside your Themes folder.
header.php
sidebar.php
footer.php
index.php
single.php
page.php
archive.php
category.php
tag.php
etc...
Design View is pretty much useless. You must be able to work with code.

In a dynamic page how to share variable between PL/SQL and javascript

For example, my dynamic page contains such PL/SQL codes:
<ORACLE>
DECLARE
info varchar(100);
rowid urowid;
procedure doDelete(
row_id in urowid
) IS
begin
Delete From xxx
WHERE rowid = row_id;
end doDelete;
BEGIN
Select name, rowid INTO info, rowid
From xxx Where xxx;
HTP.PRN(' <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="show value" onClick="alert(info);">');
HTP.PRN(' <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="delete" onClick="doDelete(_row_id);">');
END;
</ORACLE>
The variable 'info' and '_row_id' are correct, however the two HTP. sentence do not work. What's the problem?
What I want to do is to show all the records in TABLE A in a page. And at the end of each line (record), there' re a 'delete' and a 'update' button to let user operate on this record. Is this possible? I know form can do delete an update, but it can not show all the records in a page like what report does. Besides dynamic page, is there any other better choice? Report can do it?
One more question. In a report, I employed link on one field to a second report. It works well. But I want to open the second report in a new window when the link is click. Is this possible?
I was almost driven crazy by these :( I so appreciate if anyone can help.

The code written by you is insufficient for the funtionality you are trying to achieve. Below is a method to achieve the same.
Note: Used standard scott.emp table for the example which is located in my db provider schema.
Do the below modifications as per your local configuration
xxxxx -> Replace it with your Portal schema
yyyyy -> Replace it with your db provider schema
<<module_id_of_form>> -> Replace with the module id of form created in step 1 & 2.
First and foremost... oracle does not allows variables starting with '_'. So if you want to use it you have to place it in double quotes ("")
rowid -> illegal
"_row_id" -> legal.
However, I will advice you not to use variable names starting with "_".
Now lets get started...
1. Create a form on the table you are using in the dynamic page. Just have the update button. Remove the other buttons.
2. Get the module id of this form. Instruction for getting the module id:
a) Right-click on the form's run link and copy the shortcut
b) Get the value of p_moduleid parameter. This is your module id.
3. Create a procedure "save_action_details" in your db provider schema. This procedure will accomplish the delete operation on the record.
     CREATE OR REPLACE Procedure save_action_details(
     p_rowid IN VARCHAR2,
     p_action IN VARCHAR2,
     p_dyn_ref_path IN VARCHAR2,
     p_dyn_page_url IN VARCHAR2)
     is
     l_sto_session xxxxx.wwsto_api_session;
     begin
     l_sto_session := xxxxx.wwsto_api_session.load_session(
     p_domain => 'DynStore',
     p_sub_domain => 'DynStore_' || p_dyn_ref_path
     l_sto_session.set_attribute(
     p_name => 'rowid',
     p_value => p_rowid
     l_sto_session.set_attribute(
     p_name => 'action',
     p_value => p_action
     l_sto_session.save_session;
     htp.init;
     owa_util.redirect_url(p_dyn_page_url);
     end save_action_details;
Explaination: The above procedure creates a session and keeps the rowid and action in the session. This information is used by the below dynamic form to perform the necessary action. In our exampl, the action is always going to be delete so you may go ahead and hard code it, else leave it as it is.
4. Grant execute privilege on the procedure "save_action_details" to public.
sql> grant execute on save_action_details to public;
5. Create your Dynamic page.
a) In HTML code section have the below code. This code shows some columns from the table and "update" and "delete" buttons to perform the respective action.
     <ORACLE>select empno,ename,rowid,
     '<input type="button" value="Update" onClick="doAction(this.form,''UPD'',''xxx'','''
     || xxxxx.wwv_standard_util.url_encode(rowid) || '''); tWin();">
     <input type="button" value="delete" onclick="doAction(this.form,''DEL'',''' || rowid || ''',''xxx'');">' Action
     from yyyyy.emp</ORACLE>
b) In additional pl/sql code section of dynamic page, have the below pl/sql block "in after displaying the header" section.
     declare
     l_sto_session xxxxx.wwsto_api_session;
     l_del_rowid varchar2(20);
     l_action varchar2(10);
     begin
     htp.comment('User code starts here ...');
     htp.p('<script>');
     htp.p('var winHandle;');
     htp.p('
     function doAction(formObj, action, rowid, erowid)
          if (action == "UPD")
          var formURL = "' || xxxxx.wwctx_api.get_proc_path('wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=<<module_id_of_form>>&p_arg_names=_rowid&p_arg_values=') || '" + erowid;
          winHandle = window.open(formURL, "winDynUpd", "width=750,height=500,resizable=yes");
          else
          formObj.p_rowid.value = rowid;
          formObj.p_action.value = action;
          formObj.submit();
     function tWin() {
          if (winHandle.closed) {
          document.location = document.location;
          else {
          setTimeout("tWin()", 500);
     htp.p('</script>');
     htp.p('<form name="dynRowProcess" method="POST" action="'
     || xxxxx.wwctx_api.get_proc_path('save_action_details','yyyyy')
     || '">');
     htp.p('<input type="hidden" name="p_rowid">');
     htp.p('<input type="hidden" name="p_action">');
     htp.p('<input type="hidden" name="p_dyn_ref_path" value="' || p_reference_path || '">');
     htp.p('<input type="hidden" name="p_dyn_page_url" value="' || p_page_url || '">');
     l_sto_session := xxxxx.wwsto_api_session.load_session(
     p_domain => 'DynStore',
     p_sub_domain => 'DynStore_' || p_reference_path
     l_del_rowid := l_sto_session.get_attribute_as_varchar2('rowid');
     l_action := l_sto_session.get_attribute_as_varchar2('action');
     if l_action = 'DEL' then
     delete from yyyyy.emp
     where rowid = l_del_rowid;
     end if;
     end;
Explaination: The session information (rowid and action) stored by "save_action_details" procedure is retrieved by the dynamic page and is used to delete the record.
6. Once you are through with the above steps, test it by placing the above "dynamic page" portlet on a page.
a) When you click on delete button the record gets deleted and the automatically refreshed page will not show the deleted record.
b) On clicking update button, a form will appear. do the necessary modifications in data and click update. the data in the form gets updated. Once you close the form the dynamic page gets refreshed automatically and it will show you the updated information.

Dynamic Pages: how to overide the default format returned from the oracle query.

When writing a dynamic page, portal always displays any return from a database query in a default format or grey background table:
<TABLE border="0" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2 style="background-color:#E0E0D0">
<TR>
<TH ALIGN="LEFT" style="background-color:#C0C0A0" > </TH>
</TR>
<TD ALIGN="LEFT" valign="TOP" WIDTH="0">
Is there anyway to change this or this how the
function
PORTAL30.wwv_render_report.show always works?
Thanks in advance!

Dynamic page question (or class=RegionHeaderColor)

Hi there,
i have a couple of portlets, the top-left-portlet showing a background image.
however my dynamic-page portlet doesn't show the image
because in the source i see this:
<TR><TD class="RegionHeaderColor" WIDTH="100%">
<H2>Example of A Dynamic Page</H2>
</TD></TR>
the problem is the class.
when i remove it, i see the image...
my questions are:
1. where can i remove the class
2. how can i change the class.
thanx in advance,
Teo.

If your question is related to editing of dynamic pages exposed as a porltet in a particular page then,
1)Edit the page
2)Check the name of the component (dynamic page component) created, and the name of the application.
3) In the applications tab, navigate to the corresponding application and edit the component in question.

Edit Locale Settings Link

I was wondering if anyone knows what API calls I must make to get the 'Edit Locale Settings' Link for a given user which exists on the 'My Account' page.
Thanks,
Mike
P.S. This is for version 5.x

I can tell you right now, building your own activity space to cut the steps and do what you want is about the only way to go.
What I would like to know is:
1) Did I miss a simple way of bypassing the MyAccount page to go straight to the Edit Locale Settings page?
- you could just hack the page, create a hyperlink and copy the edit local setting page url... that would work.
- however, you can never get it to redirect back to the current page the user was on, b/c that's now what this edit local setting page does.
2) Is the activity space the simplest and best way of accomplishing what I need?
- yes, b/c the locale setting needs to take place and a refresh of content needs to take place. Basically, you still need to mimick what the edit locale page did to get this to change instantaneously for the user as well as do the rest of the actions you described.
3) If not, would it be possible to create a custom tag to replace the PT:MyAccount tag so that the custom tag goes straight to the locale page?
- you could do it this way. But why not do #1 instead?
The short of it... going to the editor page is the simliest and easiest way about it. But the editor page points back to the my account page. If you want to change this behavior, you will have to hack it somehow... which is not possible really unless you build your own activity space.

How to use Custom Search in Dynamic Page or HTML Portlet ?

Gurus,
1. I have a tab called My Space in the portal web site, where user gets a personalized view of the content.
2. I am using custom attributes and custom item types. I have a custom attribute called 'Location', which is a attribute of custom item types.
3. I have 2 pages - News and Events.
4. All the content in News and Events page is tagged by the attribute 'Location'.
5. The requirement is to let the user search the News and Events by Location.
6. To achieve this I used the Custom Search portlet and the user can select the attribute Location and see the resultant News and Event items by location in the Search portlet.
7. The requirement is to present the News items and Event items in separate regions on the page and show only the first 5 News and Event items in the result and show a More link which would guide the user to rest of the News and Event items.
8. Eventually there may be more content other than News and Events tagged by location. If so, the requirement is to create a new region and display the new content.
9. How would I do this using custom search ? I was thinking if there is anyway I could use the custom search api (where can i find it ?) in the HTML portlet or Dynamic page and submit the result to IFRAMES in each region and show the output ?
Pls advise.
Thanx a bunch.

I would suggest that you use two custom search portlets; one for the news items and one for the events items. Switch the custom search portlets to "AutoQuery" mode and add the relevant criteria. On the results display tab of the the "edit defaults" screen, choose to show just 5 items.
To add a link to show the user mode results, I'd create two new pages that have just a single custom search portlet on it that is customised to show more of the results and maybe has the pagination links enabled.
Then I'd add two "Page Link" items underneath the two news and events portlets on the first page in an item region.
I'm sure there are other ways of doing this as well. Hope that helps to get you started.

How to create a form based on table using dynamic page?

Hi,
I need to create a form using dynamic page. How do you pass values from the html form to a oracle procedure that will get executed on submission of the form ? I could not find any documents which shows how to do that. Can anyone please help me out with an example ?
thanks,
Mainak

Hi,
Something seems to get added to the form action because of "http". Hence I am removing it.
You need to write a procedure with the values in the as parameters. Say for example you want to insert a record into dept
table then
Dynamic page code
<html>
<body>
<form action="portalschema.insert_dept">
<input type="text" name="p_deptno">
<input type="text" name="p_dname">
<input type="submit" name="p_action" value="save">
</form>
</body>
</html>
Procedure code.
create or replace procedure insert_dept
(p_deptno in number,
p_dname in varchar2,
p_action in varchar2)
is begin
if p_action = 'save' then
insert into scott.dept(deptno,dname) values(p_deptno,p_dname);
commit;
end if;
end;
grant execute on insert_dept to public;
Hope this helps.

How to get page URL in a dynamic page in 10.1.4?

Does anyone know how to get the page URL in a Dynamic Page in 10.1.4 without using javascript.
I know that you can use a PL/SQL portlet and the portlet_record, but this is specifically for a Dynamic Page.
Regards
Jenny

Hi,
I am trying the suggested approach in 10.1.4 but unfortunatley I get the following error:
PLS-00302: component 'SHOW_INTERNAL' must be declared
In my Dynamic Page I have the following code
htp.p(cms_context.urlpage);
In the '... before displaying the page' I have the following
schema_name.cms_context.urlpage := schema_name.dynamic_page_name.show_internal.p_page_url;
Can anyone help?

How to get form fields in a dynamic page as a portlet

I have a dynamic page(publish as portlet and added to a portal page) with a html form that has many radio button created dynamically (query a table and create as many radio button as records I found) and the name of each radio button is the id of the record from the table it represents.
When I click the submit button of my form it will recall the same portal page and then I have to check which radio buttons where selected to update the database depending on it.
The problem is that I can't get the radio buttons inside the dynamic page because they are created dynamically so I can't make them portlet parameters to be associated with page parameters.
So How can I tell which radio buttons have been selected?
Please help me.

Hi,
Write a procedure which will be called as the form action. This procedure should take an array of parameters like p_arg_names and p_arg_values. For example
<html>
<form>
<input type="checkbox" name="p_radio">
<input type="checkbox" name="p_radio">
</form>
procedure submit_form(p_radio in wwv_utl_api_types.vc_arr)
begin
for i in 1..p_radio.count
loop
htp.p(p_radio(i));
end loop;
wwv_redirect.url(<page_url>);
end;
Hope that helps.
Thanks,

I'm editing a 24 page booklet which when I open in Pages 5.0.1 is single pages. How can I change the format to facing pages to give to the printer?

I'm editing a 24 page booklet which was done about a year ago in another version of Pages. When I open it now in Pages 5.0.1 it comes up as single pages. My question is how do I get it back to a facing pages format to give to the printer?

Export to Pages 09 and use that. Version 5.1 lacks the ability to use alternating left/right margins and many,many other features that are present in Pages 09. Pages 5.1 adds back a vertical ruler ( why ever was it omitted?) but still lacks about 90--that's nine zero, as in "nearly 100"-- features that were in Pages 09. Some of these features are obscure , some very basic. At this point, however, Pages 5.1 is a novelty application, basically useless for any serious work

Yes, I just want to cover up all the pages for those particular area of document numbers.
Nothing sensitive about it. I just want to show the correct document numbers on all pages in print out.
So, I wanted to cover up by comments, but commenting on each page will be difficult. So, I wanted to comment the same on all pages.

How to create a MD form using dynamic page ?

Rahul and Sharmila,
You have answered several of my queries earlier and I am thankful for them.
I have been trying to creating a MD form using dynamic page and I haven't fiqured it out. I need help. You both advised me on creating a simple form using dynamic page. The complexity changes drastically when I have to create a MD form. Has no body ever tried to create a MD form with dynamic page?
I haven't heard from you anything either. I am stuck with this and I need help urgently. Would you kindly tell me if this is possible and how ? Otherwise, I will stop crying for help on this.
Thanks for your kind attention.

How to create a dynamic page from a parameter table at runtime?

I have a table which has the information of item names,types,default values of an input form. Is it possible to create a dynamic page at runtime from these parameters? I saw htmldb_item but what i need is something like attaching athis input form to a dynamic sql with htmldb_item.
Thank you

Oracle supports feedback form metalink was; "What you exactly want to approach is not possible in Htmldb"
I can guess that it is not
exactly possible since I looked at the forums and documantation etc. but
couldnt find anything similar than this link; "http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/htmldb/howtos/tabular_form.h
t". But this is a very common need and I thought that there must be at least a workaround?
How can I talk or write to Html Db development team about this since any ideas, this is very important item in a critial project?
I will be able to satisfy the need in a functional way if I could make the
select lists in the tabular form dynamic with the noz_id;
SELECT vozellik "Ãzellik",
htmldb_item.select_list_from_query(2, t2.nozellik_deger, 'select vdeger
a,vdeger b from tozellik_deger where noz_id = 10') "Select List",
htmldb_item.text(3, NULL, t2.vcihaz_oz_deger) "Free Text"
FROM vcihaz_grup_ozellik t1, tcihaz_oz t2
WHERE t1.noz_id = t2.noz_id
AND t2.ncihaz_id = 191
AND t1.ngrup_id = 5
But what I exactly need i something like this dynamic query;
SELECT
vozellik "Ãzellik",
CASE
WHEN (t2.nozellik_deger IS NULL AND t2.vcihaz_oz_deger IS NOT NULL) THEN
'HTMLDB_ITEM.freetext(' || rownum || ', NULL) ' || vozellik
WHEN (t2.nozellik_deger IS NOT NULL AND t2.vcihaz_oz_deger IS NULL) THEN
'HTMLDB_ITEM.select_list_from_query(' || rownum ||
', NULL, ''select vdeger a,vdeger b from tozellik_deger where noz_id = ' ||
t1.noz_id || ''' ) ' || vozellik
END AS "DeÄer"
FROM vcihaz_grup_ozellik t1, tcihaz_oz t2
WHERE t1.noz_id = t2.noz_id
AND t2.ncihaz_id = 191
AND t1.ngrup_id = 5
Thank you very much,
Best regards.
