Hidden Statuses

Hi All,
In our status profiles we have some user statuses the
are changed into only by the system and not by the users.
For example we have Lead status named "Became an Opportunity" and in the BAdI when saving the opportunity
the the code is checking the status of the previous Lead and in some cases it is changed to this status.
The users must be authorize to set this status but when
using the UI we don't want that they see these statuses.
Has anyone an idea how to achieve this?
10x, Eyal.

To report which fields are apparent/hidden/obligatory/optional.
To make such a report based on mat. type.
I also noticed the field numbers in OMS9 match with the signs.
Thanks.

Hidden status bar

<img src="http://i53.tinypic.com/260pmxg.jpg" border="0" alt="missing status bar">
The status bar went missing after I installed the QuickToolbars (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/quicktoolbars) extension, and hasn't returned after uninstalling the extension. I looked through about:config for clues and found two entries left over after I'd uninstalled it. Removing them didn't help.
I went through each of the following:
checked the View | Status Bar setting; uninstalled the extension; restarted FF; restarted the PC, upgraded FF to 3.6.15; disabled all extensions; looked through about:config; logged in here and asked this question.
The bar is not hidden behind any other desktop item (see the screenshot).
How do I get my status bar back?

Fixed now.
While reading about the localstore.rdf and Safe Mode, I decided to reset the toobars to see what would happen. It restored the staus bar.
I haven't noticed any other effects.

Hidden status bar while rotation not work

Hi, Here is what I am doing:
I have a view with status bar, nav bar and tool bar. User can tap the view to hidden all three bars. If tap again, all bars come back. All works fine.
I found that if user hidden all bars, rotate the view to landscape mode, and then tap to bring the bars back, the status bar is overlap with nav bar.
How can I fix it?
thanks,
fm

You might have to mess with the frame of the nav bar after the rotate. Try something like this (assuming a variable named navBar):
CGRect frame = navBar.frame;
frame.origin.x = 20;
navBar.frame = frame;

Problem in showing progress image and status message.

Hi, friends,
I have file upload program in which when user uploads the file
i want to show animated progress file
i.e. ( circle.gif )
when upload finishes it should display message :
File < file name > uploaded successfully.
How do i achieve it ?
since when i am uploading file , image is displayed but
due to upload process image is hanged up and did not showing
animation.
Kindly solve the above problem.
i post my some code here.
============================
javascript part is here
function showProgress()
        document.getElementById('imgprogress').style.display = "";
     document.getElementById('imgprogress').style.visibility="";
    function completedupload()
     document.getElementById('progress').style.display = "";
     document.getElementById('progress').style.visibility="";
<div id="imgprogress" style="display:none; visibility:hidden;"><img src="images/circle.gif"></div>
                                                  <div id="progress" style="display:none; visibility:hidden;"><%= status %></div>
                                                  <div id="" style="display:none; visibility:hidden; "><img src="images/circle.gif" width="21" height="21"></div>since it is not working good.
please provide me good solution for this.
i need exactly following :
when user gives big file to upload it shows progress as animated image
and upload process finished up, it should remove image and display status message like " File Upload completed. "

I know this is an old topic, but I found the solution and thought I'd share it! By default, a JList only has 1 visible row. To allow the number of rows to expand dynamically, throw this in.
this.imageList.setVisibleRowCount(-1);My code looks like this. It centers each image and centers the text under the image and wraps images horizontally.
    ListCellRenderer renderer = new ImageListCellRenderer();
    this.imageList.setCellRenderer(renderer);
    DefaultListModel listModel = new DefaultListModel();
    this.imageList.setVisibleRowCount(-1);
    this.imageList.setLayoutOrientation(JList.HORIZONTAL_WRAP);
    this.imageList.setModel(listModel);and the renderer
public class ImageListCellRenderer extends DefaultListCellRenderer {
public Component getListCellRendererComponent(JList list, Object value, int
      index, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus) {
    JLabel label = (JLabel)super.getListCellRendererComponent(list, value,
        index, isSelected, hasFocus);
    if (value instanceof File) {
      File imageFile = (File)value;
      String path = imageFile.getAbsolutePath();
      Image image = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(path);
      image = image.getScaledInstance(100, 100, Image.SCALE_DEFAULT);
      ImageIcon imageIcon = new ImageIcon(image);
      label.setIcon(imageIcon);
      label.setText(path.substring(path.lastIndexOf(File.separatorChar) + 1));
      label.setVerticalTextPosition(SwingConstants.BOTTOM);
      label.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
      label.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);
    else {
      label.setIcon(null);
    return label;
}I need to work on this to improve performance, but it works!

How do I get a hidden column to show in a library?

I am having an odd behavior on one of my site columns, and am hoping someone might be able to shed some light on this for me. I have just built a content type hub. Also created some site columns....I have one particular column (which is a choice type), that
is hidden at the parent content type level. I see this hidden column each time i view the settings of any content type that inherits from the parent content type. However, when I add these child content types to a library, I no longer see the hidden column.
I don't understand why this is the case.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me? Is this the way it is designed to work in SharePoint?
Update: When I view the inheriting content type from the hub, I see the hidden column. But if I view the same content type from within my site, I do not see the hidden column. Is this a publishing issue? Or is this by design in SharePoint?

That definitely does not sound like design. Have you tried editing the content type on the library level NOT the hub level? You should be able to set the hidden status to display within the Content Type section on the library.
If that doesn't work, it'll be worth looking at something like SharePoint Manager to open up the column and inspect its properties.

Hide status bar from start

I'm having trouble getting the status bar to completely disappear. I have
application.statusBarHidden = YES;
as the first line of
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(UIApplication *)application
But, when I launch in the simulator (haven't tried a phone) the first thing that happens is that the status bar flies up to the top of the screen, followed by my Default.png (with the status bar still showing), and then finally my UIView appears, with no status bar.
I've seen some reference to UIStatusBarHidden and Info.plist, but for the life of my I can't figure out how to get that to work. I did manage to make a key that is UIStatusBarHidden, and set the value to YES but no change.
I know there must be a way to do this!

Am I the only one who seems to have a blank space during the Default.png file loading? I've added the hidden status bar option everywhere yet every time my app launches, there is a blank black space where the status bar should be. Both simulator and the device... is there any way around this? Or do i need to wrtie my own splash screen?
Thanks in advance!

How to disable status bar from creating a dead zone in the simulator

Is this a known bug in the simulator,where a hidden status bar is still grabbing touches? I constantly get frustrated by the inability to click at the top 20 or so pixels of the screen because that is a dead zone, and even though I have a hidden status bar the status bar is still grabbing touches there. Any way around this? And will this happen in the iPhone version, or is it just the simulator?

You have a point, if your users are filling the form in with Reader, they won't be able to save the data with the form unless the form has been "Reader Extended" (which enables this functionality in Reader for the particular form)
If you have Acrobat Pro, you can "extend" the form before you send it to the users. The following is from the Acrobat Pro help...
Enable Reader users to save form data
Ordinarily, Reader users can’t save filled-in copies of forms that they complete. However, you can extend rights to Reader users so they have the ability to do so. These extended rights also include the ability to add comments, use the Typewriter tool, and digitally sign the PDF.
1. Open a single PDF, or select one or more PDFs in a PDF Portfolio.
2. Choose Advanced > Extend Features In Adobe Reader.
These extended privileges are limited to the current PDF. When you create a different PDF form, you must perform this task again if you want to enable Reader users to save their own filled-in copies of that PDF.

Status updates

How would i be able to delete my status updates on skype so that my parents wont see them when they have me log into my skype account?

Ok, I understand.
Open your BBM app.
Swipe down from the top edge to Settings.
Scroll down towards the bottom and tap on Blocked Contacts and Updates.
Tap the Updates tab at the top.
On the contact whose updates you have hidden, tap and hold on that contact, and tap the trash can icon (to remove the hidden status, this will not delete the contact)
This will remove the contact from the Hide Status updates.

Any way to disable the live map areas in hidden jpgs?

I have a jpg image that fades from hidden to visible and back via a mouse click toggle behavior tied to a 'click here for map' element (in Dreamweaver CS5, MM_effectAppearFade). I overlaid a map with defined areas on the jpg each of which, when clicked, send the visitor to other pages on the site. Works fine - a mouse click makes the jpg image visible, then a click on a live area moves the visitor down the road, or a second click on 'click here for map' toggles everything back to hidden status.
My problem is that even when hidden, the defined areas on the jpg remain 'live' such that if you move the mouse to where they are hidden, the mouse changes to the pointy finger and a click triggers the link. Not good.
Seems like the easiest way to solve the problem might be to associate the MM_effectAppearFade behavior with a behavior that starts with the hidden jpg image way off screen, then moves it onto the screen and fades it in, and reverses the sequence later.
Is this the right way to do this? If so, I'd appreciate it if someone could point me to a tutorial that shows how to set up the behaviors. ...or maybe theres a better way?
Thanks - Jim

You can do this by amending the JavaScript block in the head of the page like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_effectAppearFade(targetElement, duration, from, to, toggle)
    Spry.Effect.DoFade(targetElement, {duration: duration, from: from, to: to, toggle: toggle});
   var img = document.getElementById(targetElement);
    if (img.style.opacity == 1 || !img.style.opacity) {
        img.useMap = '';
    } else {
        img.useMap = '#Map';
</script>
In this script, I have assumed that you're using the default name that Dreamweaver gives to the image map (Map).
Check the value of the usemap attribute in the <img> tag. By default, it's this: usemap="#Map". The value needs to be the same in this line of the code:
img.useMap = '#Map';

Hidden directories /net and /home on user's desktop

What purpose and function do the /net and /home hidden directories serve?

As far as you are concerned those directories do nothing. They are part of the Unix standard directory tree. Presently they are not in use. They should always be hidden so you should never see them on your Desktop. You can reset their hidden status by:
Open the Terminal application in your Utilities folder and at the prompt enter the following commands:
sudo chflags hidden /net
sudo chflags hidden /home
killall Finder
Press RETURN after each command line. You will be asked to enter your admin password which will not be echoed.
This should remove them from sight.

Workflow and problems with labels

Hello!
I've been testing out some things in Edge and I've noticed a few things that I've been trying to find some documentation and information about, I would greatly appreciate any enlightenment on the following observations:
Frame labels do not work for me - both with files created from scratch in Edge and ones made of existing HTML + CSS files. I tried the in app lesson on looping the counter and the 'Play from (loop)' doesn't work, I thought it might have been because of an error in the instructions telling users to play from a frame label that exists at the same point in the timeline where there is a 'stop' trigger but even offsetting the 'loop' label would not work. The final sample file works as intended when previewed.
I tried a few tests with new files consisting of really basic stuff - one symbol with an 'on-click' > play from (go/start/in/one/etc) and another symbol simply animated on the x and y axis with an animation to the opacity with a stop trigger placed on the timeline and tested with the play from label placed both at the same time as the stop trigger and offset after the trigger - neither works it has no effect when clicked. (I know about what scripts to do on completion to get it to play from the start) Interestingly play from (milliseconds*) *0.125/1001/2000000 etc does work for me but this is not ideal as it is far more useful to be able to play from labels.
Animating existing HTML - I've got a simple html page set up consisting of a container div with a number of other divs inside which I have been animating in Edge. The Edge file is set up so the container CSS overflow is hidden. Now can someone please clarify if the following method of workflow is a mistake on my part, limitation in HTML+DOM, bugs in edge or combination/none of those things?
Workflow - bring in the html file to edge do simple animated opacity etc on the various elements start adding keyframes and labels etc - the label problems as above. Now my intent is to have each of the div's in the container be clicked on and bring in the next one - in the same place in the viewport. I've noticed that when changing various elements visibility after tweaking animation to look good and then subsiquently setting on-off keyframes for visibility it would suddenly cause all elements lower in the DOM to move position and suddenly have what looked like keyframes for y axis position/transform? Is this bad practice to use the on-off visibility for elements? It meant that what should be a really simple and quick 10 second animation took about 3 hours to make, should we be not using the on-off keyframes for showing/hiding buttons that are in divs that sit on top of each other? Should i set up z-index values for all elements in the CSS files? (I saw a reference to you can assign z-index values in the 'elements' panel but I can only see 'arrange' - is this a different term for z-index?)
I'm a long time user of flash, maya, after effects, digital fusion, combustion, and many other timeline based software tools - it is fairly intuitive to me picking up new systems but the issues with on-off visibility and keyframes below in the timeline really was a very frustrating workflow. I'm used to changing and editing the whole animation on the timeline seeing what works and doesn't - deleting layers, changing timings etc, i found this way of working really slow due to changes to elements position when ones above in the flow were turned on or off. Please do suggest what I should change in my approach to using edge as compared to other animation tools as it looked great on preview but I'm a bit frustrated in using the release. Is this a bug in my release?
Where is the help and reference files for Edge? - is this screen shot it? -
I can't find any info on basic definitions of the tools and options anywhere, and can't find much on anything to do with using edge in production with existing HTML documents, please send me some links if you have them. I've seen the edge javascript API thing but is there anything else?
Cheers.
Here is the approximate code of the page for reference - I actually got the file working in the end but using 'play from (miliseconds)' instead of play from (label) and much frustration slowly editing the timeline and elements visible/hidden status and redoing animation on elements below in the timeline to get them placed correctly.

Hi,
I wonder if it's related to the multilingual capability of BPM Object presentations.
Could you:
1. right mouse click the project in the Project Navigator tab.
2. click "Project Preferences"
3. click "Languages"
Do you see multiple languages? Is English (or whatever language you're using inside Studio) the default?
When you log into the WorkSpace, could you double check the language you are using (log in -> click "Settings" in the upper right corner) -> with the "Display" tab selected, is the language you chose as the default in Studio selected?
I suspect the reason you see some but not all of the labels is because you have defined some of those labels in the language selected in the Workspace. You can add the addtional labels for the various languages you want to support if you:
1. Open a presentation
2. Click one of the labels
3. In the properties tab on the right, click the field beside the "Display" property
4. Click the button with the "..." on the right side of this field
Hope this helps,
Dan

Updating a Date Column in SP2010 using Javascript in WP

Hi,
I know that Today() doesn't work in SP. But seeing all the various JS codes to highlight rows etc is rather cumbersome, especially if you have several operations that you may want to run based on Today().
In my list, I have a column which is hidden from public view, 'thisDate'. This column is set to Date Only and with each new item that is added, it loads today's date. That's fine at item creation; but what I want to do is use JS to
update all fields in thisDate column with today's date whenever the list is first loaded on any new day.
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">
var tDate = null;
allItems = null;
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(UpdateList, 'sp.js'); //this is necessary to ensure the library is loaded before function triggered
function DateThis(){
tDate = new Date().toJSON();
tDate.format("m/dd/yy");
return tDate;
function UpdateList(){
var tContext = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var tSite = tContext.get_site();
var tWeb = tSite.get_rootWeb();
var tList = tWeb.get_lists().getByTitle('TeamDUCOM LNO Travel');
var tQuery = SP.CamlQuery.createAllItemsQuery();
this.allItems = tList.getItems(tQuery);
tContext.load(allItems, 'Include(thisDate)');
tContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQuerySuccess), Function.createDelegate(this, this.onQueryFailed));
function onQuerySuccess(){
var listEnum = allItems.getEnumerator();
var todaysDate = DateThis();
while(listEnum.moveNext()){
var currentItem = listEnum.get_current();
var origDate = currentItem.get_item('thisDate');
currentItem.set_item('thisDate',todaysDate);
currentItem.update();
tContext.executeQueryAsync(Function.createDelegate(this, this.ListItemsUpdateSuccess), Function.createDelegate(this, this.ListItemsUpdateFailed));
function onQueryFailed (){
alert('Query List Failed ');
function ListItemsUpdateSuccess(){
alert('Success ');
function ListItemsUpdateFailed(){
alert('Update List Failed ');
</script>
Right now, I get an 'onQueryFailed' alert saying the Query list failed. Also in the watch windo, I get null for 'tDate and 'todaysDate' is undefined.
Once I can get this to work, it is my intention to add an extra line or two to compare variables
origDate with todaysDate. If they match, skip and go to next. I think this would reduce updates and minimze the List sending out email alerts (most of my users use Alerts to be notified of changes to the list. (Bonus
would be being able to suspend any alert triggers at update, but I don't believe that's possible, or?)
After all the debugging, I also intend to comment out the alerts within the code, since no one needs to see that.
Ideally, this code would be reuseable on any list that needs countdowns, traffic lights, colorcoding etc, or even calcaulated columns using
thisDate data in lieu of the nonexistent Today()
function. And, as mentioned above, the list only needs to be updated once for the 1st person to open the list on any given day.
TIA

property. For more assistance, contact your site administrator."
I tried both your suggested change and the older script every which way - before the list, after the list, hidden and not. I then focused more on the IE 9's F12 developer tool and watched as it stepped thru the code. Everything was fine with the variables
(each object loaded in the Locals view) until it came time to call the executeQueryAsync.
I even traced down the stack and confirming the arguments. But a thot kept bugging me about "get_rootweb". i had seen other examples where it was "get_web" instead. When I went back to search Bing, I came across an example where the coder
just cut to the chase, bypassing varibles (in my case, dropping 'tSite' & 'tWeb'), so my trimmed code snippet now looks like this:
var tContext = SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var tList = tContext.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle('MyList Name');
var tQuery = SP.CamlQuery.createAllItemsQuery();
this.everyItem = tList.getItems(tQuery);
Prior to that, I also changed the var 'allItems', because I wondered if that was causing conflicts, case-sensitivity notwithstanding, since my default list view was 'AllItems.aspx'
Anyway, it now works regardless of CEWP positioning/hidden status (using only the reference to JS file in SiteAssets and using the script tags within the js file, not the CWEP link) -- typically, I make such CWEPs (ie EasyTabs) hidden and at the bottom of
the page, after the list and it works just fine.
I'm going to mark this thread as answered. But before I do that, I'll work out the one piece I need to add for the code to do nothing to a particular item if 'todaysDate' matches 'origDate' then post the entire code as the solution.
Thanks again.
Best regards,
AH-C
PS, I got a deluge of email alerts telling me that the list was updated. I anticipated that and will be looking for code to stop that if possible. But with the test for matching dates, at least I can limit the deluge of emails to once a day by whomever
is 1st to check the list that day (my alert is configured for instant alerting whenever a change has been made and I'd prefer to keep it that way, unless there's no workaround.

Startup disk disappear from the desktop

Well, without any reason, The startup disk is disappear from the desktop.
(Just only the startup disk)
I found this 2 times before, once on my 8 cores Mac Pro, once on my iMac G5.
I couldn't do anything to fix them, so I formatted and re-install OS.
with my iMac, it ran Tiger before, there's no problem until I changed to Leopard,
After about 2 weeks under the new Leopard,then the startup disk disappear from the desktop,
it shown the hidden status in disk utility and could not mount it,
So I formatted and back to install old Tiger.
Everything's fine. that's really good Operating system.
Bad luck, about 2 months ago, My iMac G5 had some problem with motherboard and the harddisk also damaged, I send it to Apple Thailand, They fixed it and send back with installed Leopard inside my new hard disk.(well... again)
Now after a few weeks. it happen again.
Startup disk disappear from the desktop.
This problem never exist on my Mac Pro, just with the iMac G5.
(Please don't tell me to check the finder preference about the sidebar setting.
it's already set to show every items there even the iDisk)
I wondered why I don't see anyone have problem with this.
I'm really want to find the answer about this.
I asked this question to Apple Thailand's support team but they didn't have any idea.
Who's gonna answer this

I found a solution to the problem and posted it here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1858340&stqc=true
I pasted the solution below:
from a Terminal window, type:
ls -lOd /
(That's lowercase ell, lowercase ess, space, minus, lowercase ell, capital oh, lowercase dee, space, forward slash)
You should get something like this:
hostname:~ username$ ls -lOd /
drwxrwxr-t 32 root admin - 1156 Feb 8 20:35 /
Sounds like you might see something like this instead:
hostname:~ username$ ls -lOd /
drwxrwxr-t@ 32 root admin hidden 1156 Feb 8 20:35 /
(note it says "hidden" instead of "-")
To fix this, type:
sudo chflags nohidden /
and provide your admin password. You won't get any output back from the command but the icon should now appear on your desktop, and the hidden flag should go away if you repeat the 'ls -lOd /' command.
And just in case you missed it above, you've got to be sure Hard disks are turned on in Finder General Preferences under "Show these items on the Desktop"

Filesystem supported by Mac OS X and Linux

I got Windows, Linux and Mac OS X on my system. I'd like to share files on a partition that Linux and Mac OS X can access, but not Windows. So far I've used FAT32, but obviously Windows can access that, so I'm looking for something else.
Is there any filesystem that fits these requirements?

try to hide the FAT32 partition, windows doesn't mount hidden partitions, linux still can mount them (I don't know if automount stuffs take care about the 'hidden' flag), but I don't know if it will be visible from Max OS X.
To hide a partition:
- reboot
- in the GRUB menu, type 'c' to enter the GRUB's command line
- type "hide (hd0,0)" (replacing the partition with your FAT32 partition)
- 'escape' to return to the menu
The hidden status is a flag in the partition table, so the partition will be hidden until you unhide it (with the "unhide" command from the GRUB's command line).
I'm not sure this will do the job, but it is easy to try.

Tools to evaluate performance of adobe forms

Hi,
        I need some tool which will measure the performance of forms - time to load the form & time to load data in drop downs which are linked and dynamic and data for drop downs are getting fetched from database tables.
Is there is any tool available for to measure the performance since in my current project we are concerned with too much of scripting slowing down the form?
Please help.
Rohit

Hi Paul,
            Following are the specific scenarios for which we are concerned about performance.
Our form is integrated in an enterprise portal and at the backend there is a webdynpro program in SAP environment.
In our form, we have several sections and subsections which become hidden or read only based on the role of the person opening the form in the portal. Final rendtion of the form takes place according to the account group - one of the fields in the form and opening wndow in the portal. I figured out that there can be two approaches for these scenarios.
Approach 1
Sections in the form have been wrapped in subform - so I have status fields as hidden fields in the subform. Based on the value of the status field ('H' for hidden or 'R' for readOnly), the sections will be made read Only or Hidden. These status fields are set by SAP webdynpro at the backend. There will be several hidden status fields in the form.
Approach 2
The whole business logic is taken care of by javascripting in the following way.
Step id is all that is being passed from the web dypro interface which determines the role of the user opening the form and the rest is done in javascripting In the approach we dont have so many status fields for individual sections.
Sample PseudoCode
switch(step_id) {
case "01":
     //requester role so call req() function
     renderform(): //this function re renders the form according to account grp since form layout rendition is based on role and account grp (one of form fields)
case "02":
     //approver role so call approver() function
     renderform();
//Like wise we have 5 more cases for 5 different roles
function renderform() {
     switch(acct_grp) {
          case "Z001":
               function call to render form based on the Z001 acct_grp
         case "Z002":
               function call to render form based on the Z002 acct_grp
//Like wise we have 5 more cases for 5 different acct_grps
the function in the switch statement does the same thing as the scripts used in the first approach i.e. making subforms readOnly or hidden.
My question is - are these switch statements and nested function calls going to have additional overhead in performance like loading of form in the portal?
Which approach is better from performance point of view?
Please let me.
Thanks
Rohit
