HTML 5 and Spry.. Making custom attributes valid

The HTML 5 spec is still a "Editors Draft" but doesn't mean browser haven't started intergating it. While i was reading through the specification i noticed that HTML allows you to specify custom attributes on elements (see: http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#embedding-custom-non-visible-data ). We all know Spry also uses custom attributes for the Spry dataset. These are typically prefixed with spry:action_here=""
At this point its not valid HTML even though, when serving your page as xhtml it should be valid.. as xml allows you to specify custom attributes as well. But that aside, with the release of HTML5 getting closer and closer we could make Spry attibutes valid if we started prefixing all custom attributes with data-
For example:
spry:region="ds1" => data-spry:region="ds1"
spry:if="0 == false" => data-spry:if="0 == false"
A switch to the data- prefix would require very little editing of the existing spry files. The only thing users would have to do, is switch to the HTML5 doc type declaring to make it valid. As this doc type has backwards compatiblity and do not force IE6 in quirksmode i feel this is better alternative to externalizing the custom attributes or waiting for browser to support extended doctypes.
So i wonder what you opinions are on this . Is Spry ready for HTML5 and is HTML5 ready for Spry ?

Am I excited about the upcoming HTML5? YES! But not because it validates our Spry attributes.
Spry, if used properly, already works well and the fact that it is not validated by W3C can be regarded as a curious fact. Sort of like a driver of mine that has not been validated by Microsoft; without the driver my hardware does not work. So what do I do?
Well for some people its not a problem that the pages do not validate. But there companies and clients who value validation. Its understandable because people are overhyping it. In this case, it would allow to validate out of the box, without any changes to your code. Making it easier for starting developers and create a W3C valid document.
I am excited about the new HTML5 elements that will be introduced, hopefully making life easier.
Well doesn't really make a life easier. I'm currently creating my online resume in HTML and its harder... Normally you would just use divs for almost every layout wrapper now you got to choose between aside, section, article, details, hgroup, header etc. So much elements to choose from, but using them wisely is the hard part.
I am not excited about the fact that HTML5, being backward compatible, will come with the deficiencies of its predecesors
I am confused about the near simultaneous release of XHTML2. Where is the logic? Cannot the regulators and validators agree on a standard? I guess not. Even the browser-producers cannot agree on a standard. Remember the confusion with audio and video tapes?
All of this confusion only adds weight to my argument, who cares about W3C validation or Microsoft validation? if it works it works!
Some people like it strict some people don't, for performance reasons i actually choose for the loose version. It allows me to build a more compressed file .
Video codec wars are fun to.. Ogg vs MPEG. Using flash as fallback or silver light for unsupported browsers, or just generate multiple formats.. Hard to choose.. I personally hope h.264 codec will be used because its quality wise its much better. But we will see what the browser vendors will decide.

Custom Attributes, Fields in Folders

Hi,
I have a Folder where I am uploading documents etc. I need to capture additional fields - 'Speaker' etc. when I upload the document. Is there any way of doing this?
Thanks.

yep, at item level though... Create a custom item type based on File and add your custom attributes such as Speaker there. it should work fine, but you must remember to use the new item type to upload the docs.
To minimise confusion you can restrict the list of available item types at the content area level in its edit properties, i.e, get rid of File but keep your new ones based on File.

Powershell script to set custom attribute on mailuser returns WARNING: The command completed successfully but no settings of user have been modified.

I am trying to write a script to enable a mailuser (I do know the difference between mailuser and mailbox) and set a custom attribute for that mailuser. Every time I run the script I get "WARNING: The command completed successfully but no settings

Hi,
I'm not sure where is wrong in your script. If you want to get more help about the script troubleshooting, I recommand you to ask a question in Script Center forum for more professional answers:

As a workaround, please directly create a mail user in EAC and set related custom attribute to have a try.

How to extend the WebUI product search results with customer attributes

Hello,
We are using CRM 7.0. We want to extend the WebUI product (Object) searches with customer attributes and to display customer attributes in the search results. We found the note 1026956 that explains how to extend the WebUI product (Object) searches with customer attributes. We want to know if there is also some note that explains how to display customer attributes in the search results for products/Objects.
Thanks in advance,
Sergey Kozyrev

Sergey,
I doubt whether there exists such note. The note 1026956 which you mentioned is for enhancing the Search for Custom attributes. For Enhancing the Result list you need to do custom development.

UI Datepicker and Spry textfield Validation

Hi, I am having a problem with using the UI Date picker and Spry textfield Validation together. I have created a sample form: 2 input boxe, the test box has the datepicker and spry validation and test2 has the date picker only,one submit button and some php code that echos the boxes values on submit.
My date picker is date formated as 'yy-mm-dd' for four digit year. My spry validation is formated 'yyyy-mm-dd' with validate on submit.
Now when I click on the test input box the datepicker comes up normally and i select a date. I then select the date on test2. Once I click the submit button the test field with spry validation come back saying a value is required and nothing else happens.
I was playing around and trying other things to get it to work and I noticed that when I select the test inputbox and the calander pops up if I enter some numbers into the text box then select a date from the datepicker then enter a date in the test2 inputbox and hit submit it works.
So it appears to me that the validation is not reading anything in the test field when I just select a date. Why is that? When I select a date it shows a date in the inputbox. It makes it hard to use the datepicker on a form.
Any help would be a preciated. Code is below.
Thanks Winrol
<?php echo "Test box 1 value = ". $_POST['test']. "<br/>" ?>
<?php echo "Test box 2 value = ". $_POST['test2'] ?>

Making custom non-standard components aware of custom look and feels.

Hello all.
Maybe the subject of this post could also be the opposite: "Making custom look and feels aware of non-standard custom components". I'm not sure.
If I code a new custom component (extending JComponent, or extending the UI delegate of a standard component) and pretend it to be laf aware then I must create the corresponding UI delegate for each laf, like it happens to be with standard swing components. But I'm not sure it is feasible to create the UI delegates for all unknown existing custom lafs.
On the other side, if I create a custom laf then I will also create a custom UI delegate for each standard component, but I can not create UI delegate for all unknown existing custom components.
The point here is that standard components and standard lafs are universally known, while custom components (or custom ui delegates) and custom lafs are not.
So the question is: How does a swing developer deal with the case of a new custom component that will be used in an unknown custom laf?
For instance:
1. Custom text UI delegate for dealing with styled documents in JTextField. See {thread:id=2284487}.
2. JTabbedPane with custom UI delegate that paints no tab if the component only contains one tab.
In both cases I need a UI delegate for each known laf, but what happens if the application is using a laf that certainly will not be aware of this custom functionally?
Thank you!

I suggest if you want to make your custom component look & feel aware, you design the way it displays around the l & f of other components that are part of j2se and have l&f implementations.

Access Custom Attributes in JavaScript and in Transactions

Hello,
I try to work with custom attributes. I've problems accessing the values in JavaScript and in transactions, but it works fine within .irpt pages.
What's the trick?
For a custom attribute called PLANT, can I write something like this in JavaScript?
var p = ;
Is there a way to access custom attributes in the Link Editor of an Action Block?
Kind Regards,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
it is not possible to integrate that kind of MII variables in JavaScript like you discribed before.
You are right that this kind of expression is possible in the .irpt file. The reason why it is working in the .irpt
but not in the .js is, that the MII script parser is only replacing in HTML content. Everywhere you have
scripting the parser will not replace the {...} markings (since the curly brackets also show start/end of functions aso.).
Variables to JavaScript
The easiest Way to get those variables is to create hidden fields in the .irpt file that you can access via JavaScript.
For example:
<input type="hidden" id="hidden_plant" value="{PLANT}" />
This will be parsed to (e.g.)
<input type="hidden" id="hidden_plant" value="Karlsruhe/DE" />
Now you can access this value in JavaScript via:
document.getElementById( "hidden_plant" ).value;
Variables to Transactions
To parse custom variables to a transaction you first have to specify corresponding transaction variables in the
transaction itself. After saving the transaction you can map those variables to Parameters in the Xacute-Query-Editor.
Including this transaction to your webpage you can simply assign the required value to the corresponding parameter.
For example if you mapped the Plant variable of the transaction to Param.1 you can specify the information in the .irpt
like:
<applet id="trx_test" ....>
<... />
<param name="Param.1" value="{PLANT}" />
</applet>
Another possibility is to set the value dynamically via JavaScript if you use:
document.getElementById( "trx_test" ).getQueryObject().setParam( 1, "Karlsruhe/DE" );
Native access to user variables via the BLE is not possible (as far as I know).
I hope this is what you wanted to hear?
Best Regards
Sebastian

ADDT Datepicker and spry validation don't work together

Datepicker and spry validation don't work together
the problem is in: /includes/wdg/classes/MXWidgets.js
(necessary to datepicker)
Does anyone have a solution??
Thanks

Hi Gabriele,
technically speaking, ADDT and the Spry framework have about nothing in common, and you´re going to stumble across many compatibility-related issues when trying to use them together.
Does anyone have a solution??
any regular user who´d like to provide a solution to this, would have to be a pretty skilled programmer and would have to know the "technical details" of both ADDT and SPRY very well to be of help -- I don´t think that you´ll find many folks here who are capable to do that.
However, why not making the date field required in ADDT ?

Problem with setting custom attribute and it being searchable

I'm having an issue with setting a custom attribute and having it be searchable using Portal 10.1.4. The situation that we have is that we initially added a bunch of files to Oracle Portal using webdrive. Later on, we decided that we needed another custom attribute called "Pinned Item" that will be used for searching (boolean value) and gave it a default value of false. The attribute was then added to the "File" item type in the "Shared Objects" group.
It appears that since this attribute wasn't initially available on the file object, we couldn't search on it so we decided to set it programatically. First, I tried using wwsbr.set_attribute but it errored out seemingly because the value wasn't set in the first place. If I set a value first by using the web front end, I could then use the set_attribute procedure.
So, I moved on to using wwsbr_api.modify_item and it appears to set it (although everything is being set to false until I changed it to "text" instead of "boolean" which is OK because that's what I wanted anyway... see metalink bug 390618.1). I'm using the method outlined in metalink doc 413079.1. When I do set it to a "1", and edit the item the check box is checked indicating that it is set correctly. And if I just click "OK" to save the attributes after I open it everything works like it should.
However, the advanced search (and custom search portlet) and the search APIs are not picking it up. I'm not sure if I'm hitting Metalink bug ID 5592472 or not as that's using the "set_attribute" procedure instead of the modify_item procedure. And their "workaround" of setting the attribute in the UI isn't really feasible for a couple thousand files.
So far I've tried the following things to get it working:
1. I am calling wwpro_api_invalidation.execute_cache_invalidation
2. I have executed wwv_context.sync
3. I cleared the page group cache
4. I invalidated all of the web cache

Can I create and add my own customized attribute in Org.Model?

Hi,
I have a question on Org.Model. If I have to add my own attribute in the 'Attributes' tab, how can I add one.
My scenario is like this:
We are using the std Org determination based on employee responsible. But an employee may exist in more than one position in the CRM Org.structure. The ideal scenario would be to have the Org Determination talking place with a combination of Employee Responsible and the Store(customized) partner function.
Please see what guidance you experts can give me. Points will be generous.
Thanks,
John

Hi Fredrick,
I dont think this should be a problem as when a user is assigned to two different org units, and when you are using the rule based to determine org based on the user (standard rule 10000194), the system will pop up to select the relevant org (it will pop up both org units where the user is assigned) and you need to select one that is relevant to you.
This pop comes in transactions when you enter the employee responsible and if the org data profile is assigned to the transaction type.
Hope this clarifies as per my undersatnding of your requirement and reward points if useful.

Help Pls: Create New User Form and display custom attributes +++

Hi All,
I am trying to create a user screen where a user would see all the organizations he is responsible for and clicking on the organization he would see the certain attribute of all the users that belong to the organization. (Kind of report)
Account attribute need to be defined with 2 custom attributes:
1. Organizations Responsible for
2. Belongs to which organization.
3. Status
The first 2 attributes are used to define the organization heirarchy (we can't use the org heirarchy as is in IDM).
I am just starting on the Sun IDM (very new to the product). Could you please let me know how this could be done? Which form I need to modify and any other changes I need to make.
Thanks a lot and have a pleasant day,
Ritesh
PS: I know this is a long question but i really don't know how to better explain the problem.

A workaround is to write a PL/SQL procedure to render the custom item (pass in each attribute as a paramter and then use htp.p to print it whatever format you want). You can then disable the default display of attributes (i.e. edit the style so none of the attributes are rendered).
Hope that helps,
Mark

Custom Search Form and custom attribute picklist?

I have a custom item type which has a custom attribute NAICS_Code. The NAICS codes are stored in a database table and the attribute is set to a list of values that is a query on that table. The attribute is associated with a custom item type as a text attribute.
Now, when I add the custom item type to a page, the NAICS Code field is a popup selector, as expected.
On a Portal page, I have the Custom Search Portlet that searches another page that contains the custom item type.
On the Custom Search Portlet, I can add the NAICS Code as an additional attribute, but the search field is a plain text box and NOT a pick list of any kind.
Can I configure the Custom Search Portlet to use associated LOVs with filter by attributes?

I'm afraid that in the version of portal you are using we don't render LOVs for LOV attributes on the search portlet.
In 10.1.2 attributes are added to the search form using a More Attributes button which simply render an empty row for the attribute details to be filled in.
In 10.1.4 this was improved considerably. Now attributes are added to the search form like they are added in the edit defaults, with a Choose Attributes link which opens a popup to select the attributes. On closing the popup the search form is re-rendered and any LOV attributes will be rendered with a combo box of available values to select from.
