Extensions for Elements?

Don't know if this is the right place to post, but I am looking for resources to help build extensions (plugins) for Photoshop Elements. Searched the web, but came up with nothing.
I have used Configurator to build extensions for Photoshop CS6 & CC, but can find anything on Elements.
Thanks in advance for your help - Sam

Hi Sam,
Thanks for getting in touch. I'm afraid this isn't the right place to ask, either - this forum is for Adobe Exchange, which doesn't currently support Photoshop Elements specifically.
I'd suggest asking your questions in the Photoshop Elements forum (http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop_elements), the Photoshop Scripting forum (http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop/photoshop_scripting) or contacting technical support.
Best wishes,
Fraser

Bridge Extension for Elements 6.0?

I used to have Elements 5.0 and when I double-clicked a photo in Bridge, it'd open in Camera Raw in Elements.
But now I've upgraded (lol) to Elements 6.0 and when I double-click a photo, it asks if I want to open in Windows Viewer/Gallery/whatever. I noticed that when I go into Manage Extensions in Bridge, there is an extension for Fireworks, but no longer one for Elements.
I've tried to search for how to add one, but it either expects me to already know, or takes me round and round in circles.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks for any advice you have!

When we click on any image in Bridge usually that image is opened in Adobe Photoshop .There is no communication between Elements and Bridge. Can you explain the scenario in more detail?

Has anyone seen a designer's caluculator extension for dreamweaver to measure elements in a cascade?

Has anyone seen a designer's caluculator extension for dreamweaver to measure elements margins' and paddings' in a cascade?

Another option is to also use Firebug for FF:
http://getfirebug.com/
and/or Developers Toolbar for IE:
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=18359
These are not DW based but still can provide a good look (visually as well as css rules) at the various elements on the page and in a sort of cascading view... showing the base css, any overriding rules, etc all the way down into the nested elements.
I use both because sometimes the two browser render things slightly different.

[Error ORABPEL - 10900]... : Can not find definition for element 'process'

Hi,
When I try to deploy a bpel process using JDeveloper I'm having the following xml parse error:
Error(21):
[Error ORABPEL-10900]: xml parser error
[Description]: in line 21 of "file:/C:/JDeveloper/jdev/mywork/NERGA/CriarProjectoSA/bpel/CriarProjectoSA.bpel", XML parsing failed because file:/C:/JDeveloper/jdev/mywork/NERGA/CriarProjectoSA/bpel/CriarProjectoSA.bpel<Line 21, Column 63>: XML-24538: (Error) Can not find definition for element 'process'.
[Potential fix]: Fix the invalid XML.
I don't understand why... Any idea?

Ok.
This is my BPEL code. The sapattern tags are from a program that is generating part of the code. The JDeveloper doesn't show any error, I only get the error when I try to deploy.

How to create JDeveloper Extension for new Projects ??

I want to create a JDeveloper Extension for creating new project with following: (11gR2)
1. Maven Support
2. pre-defined dependencies in pom.xml
3. pre-defined project feature (e.g. ADF Business Components)
4. pre-defined Custom Base classes for ADF Business Componets
Are there any documents / samples that i can reference ?!

Some of these can be added declaratively using the template_hook in the extension.xml file and defining an application and project template. Others will need to be added directly.
1. Add Maven Support
This can be added declaratively, as technology in the project template hook.
2. pre-defined dependencies in pom.xml
This is going to need to be added to your project after it's created.
3. pre-defined project feature (e.g. ADF Business Components)
Same as Maven support.
4. pre-defined Custom Base classes for ADF Business Componets
You should be able to use the library hook for this, but I'm not quite clear on what this means.
Here is an example template-hook that describes the creation of a Maven Application and the Maven Project that will be included with it. The <template-hook> element is placed inside the <triggers> section of the extension.xml file in 11gR2 (this won't work in 11gR1). This template-hook is what makes the Maven Application item show up in the New Gallery. Take a look at how that New Maven Application process works, and then look over this example. The <technologyKey> setting what adds the features to your application/project. In the example below, the Maven feature is being added to the project. The technologyKey for ADF Business Components is "ADFbc"
The commented out lines below are either just comments, or they are optional elements for the project and application template hooks. It's pretty obvious which is which.
     <template-hook>
        
        <projectTemplate>
          <templateId>mavenProjectTemplate</templateId>
          <name>Maven Project Template</name>
          <description>${MAVEN_PROJECT_TEMPLATE_DESCRIPTION}</description>
          
          
          
          
          
          <projectName>mavenProj</projectName>
          
          <technologyScope>
            <technologyKey>Maven</technologyKey>
          </technologyScope>
        </projectTemplate>
        
        <applicationTemplate>
          <templateId>#mavenApplicationTemplate</templateId>
          
          <name>Maven Application</name>
          <description>${MAVEN_APPLICATION_TEMPLATE_DESCRIPTION}</description>
          
          <weight>1.0</weight>
          <icon>/oracle/javatools/icons/application.png</icon>
          
          <unsorted>false</unsorted>
          <applicationName>MavenApp</applicationName>
          
          <projectTemplates>
            <projectTemplate>
              <templateId>mavenProjectTemplate</templateId>
              
              
              
              
              
              <technologyScope>
                <technologyKey>Maven</technologyKey>
              </technologyScope>
            </projectTemplate>
          </projectTemplates>
        </applicationTemplate>
      </template-hook>For including predefined pom.xml settings, you can either edit the generated pom.xml file after the project is created, or you can add a predefined pom.xml file to the project. You can see more about working with files in a project on the [url https://blogs.oracle.com/jdevextensions/tags/files] JDev Extensions Blog
Not quite sure what you are looking to do with the last item. If it's libraries that you're looking to add, you can take a look into the <libraries> hook.
Staying with the Maven example... Here is a partial <libraries> element
      <libraries xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/jdeveloper/1013/jdev-libraries">
        <library name="Apache Maven 3.0.3">
          <classpath>../../apache-maven-3.0.3/lib/maven-aether-provider-3.0.3.jar</classpath>
           <classpath>../../apache-maven-3.0.3/lib/maven-artifact-3.0.3.jar</classpath>
       <classpath>../../apache-maven-3.0.3/lib/maven-compat-3.0.3.jar</classpath>
       <classpath>../../apache-maven-3.0.3/lib/maven-core-3.0.3.jar</classpath>
       <classpath>../../apache-maven-3.0.3/lib/maven-embedder-3.0.3.jar</classpath>
       <classpath>../../apache-maven-3.0.3/lib/maven-model-3.0.3.jar</classpath>
        </library>
      </libraries>Hope all of this helps, Please feel free to contact me directly via email if that would help you out. john<dot>brock<AT>oracle.com

Getting started in Developing extensions for Dreamweaver CC

Hi,
i'm looking for info on how to get started developing extensions for DW CC. Specifically:
1. guides, tutorials
2. API reference
What i'm looking to be able to do is, among others:
1. add elements for inserting into the "insert" panel/menu
2. add panels.
3. be able to drag elements from that panel into the design
4. be able to identify tags in the web page as special tags. like how jquery UI tags are identified and have this little hovering label
5. be able to develop specialized property views for special tags. like how jquery ui tags have special properties, once i pressed that little hovering label thing.
One question that answering can really help - can say the guides for CS5 be a good starting point, and from there figure out what to do via the extendscript toolkit?
of are there later guides that i can use?
Regards,
Gal.

Hi Gal,
I quote from an very old note in my library:
True, the Adobe documentation on extensions creation is very slim, especially if you are looking at the latest releases. What I think you should do is to look back to the origins. First of all the SDK offers great examples (from 2003):
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?event=extensionDetail&extid=1009962
Also there are two great books: Dreamweaver MX Extensions by Laura Gutman and Building Dreamweaver 4 & UltraDev 4 Extensions by Tom Muck and Ray West. I believe you may read free chapters online in places such Safari library or Google books.
The books are old, you have to understand and adapt for the new versions, but in essence everything stays the same.
... and here another Adobe link:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/extend/dreamweaver_cs5_extending.pdf (see page 2 "Creating an extension")
On the other hand I'm sure you could ask well known, long-established developers. Some of them roam through our forum.

Implement and deploy a JSON rendering extension for SSRS.

Hi,
Can anyone please let me know how to implement and deploy a JSON extension for SSRS 2005?

Hi Anoopmulamoodu,
In Reporting Services, we can implement custom rendering extensions to generate reports in expected formats. After doing some research, I am afraid there is no example of JSON Rendering Extension for Reporting Services. Generally, it is difficult to write
a custom rendering extension because it must typically support all possible combinations of report elements and requires that you implement hundreds of classes, interfaces, methods, and properties. Before you decide to create a custom rendering extension,
you should evaluate simpler alternatives:
Customize rendered output by specifying device information settings for existing extensions.
Add custom formatting and presentation features by combining XSL Transformations (XSLT) with the output of the XML rendering format.
If you indeed to implement a custom rendering extension, please go through the following MSND document as well as an code example of Zip Rendering Extension:
Implementing a Rendering Extension
Zip Rendering Extension for SQL Server Reporting Services 2005/2008/2012
Hope this helps.

I am facing error while running Quickpay in Fusion payroll that "The input value Periodicity is missing for element type KGOC_Unpaid_Absence_Amount. Enter a valid input value". Any idea?

This is most probably because the Periodicity input value has been configured as "Required" and no value has been input for it.
Please enter a value and try to re-run Quick Pay.

Warranty extension for Satellite U400

Hello!
I have a question about possibility to extend warranty for my laptop.
On the official web-ste there is information about my device and it;s written over there:
"Standard Warranty
Coverage: International Days:365 Expiration Date: 2010-05-25
Extended Warranty
Servicename: International Warranty Extension from 1 to 2 years Service Coverage: International Days: 730 Expiration Date: 2011-05-25 "
It's written that I have already an extended warranty, but i've just register the standard warranty of my new laptop!
Anyway, the question is: can i buy a warranty extansion in my cause and what type of extension i have to buy (from 2 to 4, from 2 to 3 e.t.c.)
Thank you in advance!
P.S. And one more question: my friend is going to buy Toshiba Satellite A500-1F2. The same question: which kind of warranty extension is he able to purchase?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Dmitry

Hi
Usually all notebooks are covered by standard warranty for a 1 year.
If you register the notebook on the Toshiba page, you will get an additional warranty year (altogether 2 years).
I think this is what you can see on the Toshiba page.
I think you can extend the warranty too.
You have to look here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com -> Peripherals & Services -> Services -> Warranty extensions
There you will have to check available Warranty Extensions for your notebook model.

When I bootup the icon for Elements shows up in orange. It changes to green only when I've gone to Finder and clicked on Elelments under the Devices list. This is a recent development. The icon used to be green upon bootup. Does anyone know why ?

I'm sorry to hear that.
I'm not affiliated w/ the developer, just a happy user that gave up fighting the apple podcast app a while ago. I used to have a bunch of smart playlists in itunes for my podcasts, and come home every day and pathologically synced my phone as soon as I walked in the door, and again before I walked out the door in the morning.
Since my wife was doing this too, we were fighting over who's turn it was to sync their phone.
Since I've switched to Downcast, I no longer worry about syncing my phone to itunes at all. I can go weeks between syncs.
Setup a "playlist" in downcast (ex., "Commute") and add podcasts to that playlist. Add another playlist ("walk" or "workout") and add different podcasts to that one.
Set podcast priorities on a per-feed basis (ex., high priority for some daily news feeds, medium priority for some favorite podcasts, lower priority for other stuff). Downcast will play the things in the priority you specify, and within that priority, it will play in date order (oldest to newest).
Allegedly, it will also sync your play status to other devices, although that is not a feature I currently use and can't vouch for. It uses apple's iCloud APIs, so to some extent may be limited by what Apple's APIs can do.

Im using the sample code given sun site for JSSE with Client Authentication. The sample as such it worked with the testkeys provided in that. But it didn't workout when I tried using other certificates.
Both client and server certificates I generated from our internal Netscape Certificate Manager.
Function of the server :
The server will read a private key from the given keystore and starts listening on a port. This server will server only GET request.
Function of the client :
The Client sends a GET request to the server and gets the response back.
I simply changed the key store name alone in the working sample code.
It is not working.
The Exception thrown on client side :
D:\users\Jp\java\jssesamples\sockets\client\class>java SSLSocketClientWithClientAuth1 localhost 1089 /urls

If the third argument is TLS, it will start as
a TLS/SSL file server, otherwise, it will be
an ordinary file server.
If the fourth argument is true,it will require
client authentication as well.

Could anyone help ?
thanks in advance

The same thing.
I have found the place where the exception throws.
It is com.sun.net.ssl.internal.ssl.AVA class.
It has a constructor AVA(StringReader)
There is a check in this constructor of different certificate extensions
(if-else). If it sees no familiar extension it throws exception and handshake fails.
It is not difficult to fix this problem: just ignore unknown extension.
Everything works fine with this "improved" class (under VA 3.5).
But the problem is - the using of this class in applets.
How can I say the browser to use my "improved" class and not the one it downloaded with java plug-in?

Extensions for Elements?
