HTTPService - from List to XMLList

Cheers:)
I am curious if someone would be able to tell me what has to
be changed to make the Adobe QuickStart on External Data Providers
from working with the List in the example to working with an
XMLList? I have a completely self-explanatory (hopefully!) rejigged
demo here:
http://shawngibson.com/DataProviderExternal/DataProviderExternal.html
HTTPService stuff has been brain surgery to me, so I need to
go one step at a time. Hopefully this change doesn't require a huge
amount...I'd really appreciate any help, it is crucial to my
photography gallery that I'm building:) I'm a designer (and
photographer obviously)...trying to make the leap here...to be able
to get really data-driven.

No sweat, I should have perhaps ignored the venting, we all
do it now and then.
You may already understand this but here are a few
observations:
1. Flex is primarily a presentation tier (client) platform.
It does not natively do anything on the server, like file or db
access.
2. Some middle tier is required, but it can be most anything,
CF, PHP, ASP.NET, JSP, JAVA. There are few Adobe examples of
connecting with the server because there are so many possibilities.
There ARE many examples available, however, but they are sometimes
hard to find. I use google a LOT.
3. If you are not a Java or SOAP guru, or don't have one at
your command, HTTPService is THE way to go.
4. XML strings are the easiest way to pass data to an from
Flex. There are many other ways, but they are all more complicated
5. Except for CF, which has wizards and stuff to help a lot.
I do not do CF myself.
Here is a list of Flex resources. It is daunting. As I
mentioned, google is still the best place to start.

Get column values from list of values programmatically

hi all
how i get column values from list of values programmatically in the

If this answers your question , please close this thread by marking it as answered.

Downloads disappear from list immediately and automatically when download completed

Everytime a download completes it disappears from list automatically

Are you using Firefox 3.6 or Firefox 4?? Your "More system details..." link shows that you have turned off storing of history using a Firefox 4 preference (places.history.enabled), but your post says Firefox 3.6.17.
Anyway, the general history setting affects not only site URLs, but also downloads. To treat them separately, go to
Tools > Options > Privacy
and change to Custom history settings. Does that solve it?

Add Option of choosing values from list in "Person Responsible" field of Cost Center Master

Dear All,
Could anyone advise me how can I add the option to Choose Values from list to field "Person Responsible",
in Cost Center Master Data ?
The Technical Name of this field is VERAK, and currently it is an open field.
I would like to allow the user to choose values from existing list.
Thank you!
Orly

Hi Orly,
You have take it to your ABAPer, who will have to modify the attributes of CSKSZ-VERAK field in CSKSZ structure. ABAPer will have to define it with foreign key and introduce the name of the table, which will be used for deriving the available values. No standard table exists for it, but you can either create your own Z-table or take it from users table (USR02) if you have the necessary information there. Of course, this action would account for modification of standard SAP structure.
Regards,
Eli

JavaScript function which fetches return_value from List of Values

Hi,
I have created List of Values named "NICKS". I want to write JavaScript function "get_workers_fullname(nick)" which returns display_value from List of Values. The parameter of function is return_value of List "NICKS".
I am new with this and don't know how to handle this case.
Please help me.

Hi,
The LOV, I mean is the item in Application's Shared Components. I don't mean the visible SelectList on the page.
This is what I found in ApEx's help: "A List of Values can be referenced by page items as well as report fields. It controls the values displayed and limits the user's selection. Lists of Values can be static (based on values you enter) or dynamic (based on a SQL query)."
I'd like to access values in such LOV from JavaScript. I am not sure it is possible.
Cheers,
Tom.

How create temporary table from list of values

Can you anybody advise me how can I create temporary table from list of values? I have list of values and need create temporary table for next use with command JOIN etc.
Thank you for help

NO, you can not create temporary table in oracle on the fly ( Like #Tabels in SQl Server or Sybase ) , you will have to use the GTT i.e Global Temporary Tables
check the following link GTT :
to flush the tables after commit
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE my_temp_table (
column1 NUMBER,
column2 NUMBER
) ON COMMIT DELETE ROWS;In contrast, the ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS clause indicates that rows should be preserved until the end of the session.
so to keep rows in Table after commit
CREATE GLOBAL TEMPORARY TABLE my_temp_table (
column1 NUMBER,
column2 NUMBER
) ON COMMIT PRESERVE ROWS;

How can I permanently delete an old phone number from my 'receive iMessage from' list?

I have just got a new contract and iPhone. I wanted to get rid of my old number because of people hassling me on it. However I can still receive iMessages through my old number even though I have a brand new phone and SIM card! I have de-selected it on the 'receive from' list, but I want to permanently delete the number for a fresh start. I have logged into my icloud account on apple but as I didn't actually register the previous device with apple there seems to be no option to remove it. can anyone help? Why can I not just swipe and delete this number!!! Ridiculous! So much for a fresh start just turning the option off isn't the same.

See Apple Support article TS5185. Note that although the problem that article concerns doesn't apply to you, the solution it describes does.

Hi,
From your description, you want to add a help link(read data from other list) into new form page.
The following code for your reference:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
ExecuteOrDelayUntilScriptLoaded(AddHelpLink, "sp.js");
function AddHelpLink() {
var context = new SP.ClientContext.get_current();
var list= context.get_web().get_lists().getByTitle("configurationList");
var camlQuery= new SP.CamlQuery();
camlQuery.set_viewXml("<View><Query><Where><Eq><FieldRef Name='Title'/><Value Type='Text'>Help</Value></Eq></Where></Query></View>");
this.listItems = list.getItems(camlQuery);
context.load(this.listItems,'Include(Title,URL)');
context.executeQueryAsync(function(){
var ListEnumerator = listItems.getEnumerator();
while(ListEnumerator.moveNext())
var currentItem = ListEnumerator.get_current();
var title=currentItem.get_item("Title");
var url=currentItem.get_item("URL").get_url();
var HelpLinkhtml ='<a href="'+url+'">'+title+'</a>';
$("input[value='Cancel']").parent("td").addClass('ms-separator').append(HelpLinkhtml);
},function(sender,args){
alert(args.get_message());
</script>

Event Receiver to get folder Names from List View Web Part

Hi,
We have a requirement i.e.
On one of the page,there are some folders on the list view web part.
Now through event receiver i should pick the folder names from list view web part and
update the same in the list.
If that names already exists in the list then we should leave without updating,if not we have to add folder name in the list.
Please share your ideas regarding the same.
Regards,
Naga Sudheer M
Thanks & Regards, Sudheer

Hello,
LVWP is just for displaying content of site so you need to associate your event receiver with actual list/library. You can create ItemAdded event receiver to check existing folder and create new if not existing. "sk2014" links are good to start.

Can't forward messages to external address - it's impossible to choose e-mail from list

Hello colleagues! Faced with a strange problem... I have Exchange 2010 SP2, need to forward mail from domain recipient to mail contact (I mean - external e-mail address). So I created this external contact in "Recipient configuration->Mail contact" but
when I'm trying to select external address from list I see nothing in "forward to" field. I can choose domain recipients only. Does anybody know what is the problem?

Just curious, why do you need Mail Contact when it's External user. Simply specify email address of the user in
Forward To:
Go to properties of Mail Contact... Mail Flow Settings...Message Delivery Restrictions..Make sure that "Requires that all senders are authenticated" is not checked.
I'm trying to select external address from list I see nothing in "forward to" field.
Update the OAB.
