Hyperlink to a Trigger

It would be nice to be able to set a hyperlink in a Menu to active a trigger on a page (for instance, in a Composition Lightbox, or an Accordion Menu, etc.).
So, I could have a Menu across the top with "Images", and then you could choose "Image A" from the menu, and then the Image A Trigger would open Image A in the Slideshow. I could choose "Image C" in the Menu, and the Image C Trigger would open Image C. Etc.
There's no way to do this now, without a work-around. Which basically means duplicating the Widget on a separate page for each Lightbox Item, and then hyperlinking from the Menu to that unique page. A bit cluncky to manage, but it works.

Hi Harry
You can use composition for doing this as in trigger you can place the text, but it would be better if you use the text as image in fill for the trigger where you can specify the states.
With slideshow thumbnail , we actually cannot insert text , we can only use image for the thumbnail container.
Thanks,

Hyperlink on a trigger won't open in a new window

I have set up a roll over trigger that reveals a target and it works great. The only issue is that the hyperlink I have assigned to the trigger will only work if I uncheck the "open in a new window or tab" box. If I check that box, nothing happens when I click the trigger, yet it's original function of revealing the target still works.

here is one picture of the composition settings, I also took 6 other photos with a trigger/target/textbox/picture broken apart so you could see the layers, I've included all in this dropbox link:

Add hyperlink on the field txt in Search Result List to access Detail View

Hi, SDN fellows.
I have a PCUI requirement stated the following:
1) In the line item of the Search Result List (table), there is one hyperlink in field 1.
2) When click on the hyperlink, it will trigger the action to open up Detail View (Object Data Pattern 1 - ODP1) of the line item.
3) Problem: When the value of the field is null, there will be no hyperlink to open up the Detail View.
4) For work around, my requirement is to make the other fields (i.e. field 2) to have a hyperlink to trigger the action for opening the Detail View of the line item.
I am not strong in PCUI. Please advise how to do so, while I am exploring the guide in the PCUI Book.
Thanks,
Kent

Hello Kent,
check out the settings of the Field Group element where the link is already active. Copy that settings to the Field which you want to be linked too.

Scroll motion trigger/target bug

I have set up a scrolling page with a "tool tip" slideshow containging 5 trigger/targets. When I mouse over a trigger (to reveal the image which works) and then click that trigger it causes the page to "randomly" scroll up which is not the intended action. There are no anchors or hyprelinks (yet) associated with these triggers. Just the "over" function to reveal an image.
Unless I specify an anchor or hyperlink to that trigger it should remain "neutral" and not execute any type of action. Correct?

Need help with VBScript Urgent

Hi, I am working on a specific project which requires a file to be updated on all users machine before deployment. I have tried a script which is not working and does not give any error either. Please check this for me urgently as I am running short of time.
Requirement: Script should force copy a file located on a common file share to a folder in users machine. I am not deploying this script via any GP or SCCM due to certain reason. I will be sending mail to users with a hyperlink which should trigger the script
and perform the action. I would be delighted if there is a way if users can get a pop up window stating "Successfully Copied" or some sort.
Here is my incomplete script.
Set objFso=createObject("scripting.fileSystemObject")
set objWShell=wScript.createObject("WScript.Shell")
usrName=objWShell.expandEnvironmentStrings("%USERNAME%")
strFileToCopy="\\ja-rfzitd\INSTDIR\000 Sephora - UAT\Foundation\test.fcf"
strFolder="C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Test\"
if objFso.folderExists(strFolder) then
objFso.copyFile strFileToCopy,strFolder&"\",true
end if

Try changing this line:
strFolder="C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Roaming\Test\"
to this:
strFolder="C:\Users\" & usrName & "\AppData\Roaming\Test"
Environment variable expansion is not automatic in VBScript strings (evidenced by the fact that you had to call the ExpandEnvironmentStrings method of the WshShell object on the previous line). I also removed the trailing "\" from the string because
you're already adding it when you call the CopyFile method.

Trigger IsDefined with a hyperlink or javascript

Is there a way to trigger a <cfif IsDefined ('')> using
a hyperlink or at
the end of a javacript block.
I am attempting to trigger a code block using a hyperlink on
the page.
When clicked the onclick triggers a confirmation pop up box
that sets the
return to true or false.
If the return is true I would like to then trigger the code
block.
here is the hyper link, the function, and the code I am
trying to invoke
when the return is true:
<a href="javascript:;" onClick="confirmForm()">Reset IQ
Web Password</a>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

</SCRIPT>
<cfif IsDefined ('Change_Pass')>
<cfset ststring=structNew()>
<cfloop index="i" from="1" to="6" step="1">
<cfset a = randrange(48,122)>
<cfif (#a# gt 57 and #a# lt 65) or (#a# gt 90 and #a# lt
97)>
<cfset ststring["#i#"]="E">
<cfelse>
<cfset ststring["#i#"]=#chr(a)#>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
<cfset stpassword
="#ststring[1]##ststring[2]##ststring[3]##ststring[4]##ststring[5]##ststring[6]#">

Is there a way to trigger a <cfif IsDefined ('')> using a
hyperlink
Yes. One way is to create the page
checkPage.cfm
=============
<cfif isDefined("someVar")>

</cfif>
Then put
<a href="checkPage.cfm">check</a> on an
arbitrary page.

Disable hyperlink trigger of Mac Mail

I think I may wish to disable Mac Mail. The problem is that when I click on a hyperlink in a document cell in a pread sheet that contains a hyperlink (e-mail address) my Mac automatically starts Mac Mail and presents a new mail message that is already addressed. I do not want Mac Mail to automatically open. How can I prevent this from happening or am I just stuck with this feature? Should I remove Mac Mail from my applications if I do not use it?

Hi Shirley,
Should I remove Mac Mail from my applications if I do not use it?
That'd be the easiest thing.

In APEX clicking the hyper link doesn't trigger session timeout page

Hi All,
I have a question about the session time out in APEX application. I have created a simple APEX application. In the SQL report region section, i have code like this:
SELECT DOC_Name, DOC_URL,
'<a href="' || DOC_URL || ' target="_blank"/">Download file</a>' pdf_link
FROM test_table
where emp_number =00010001
When user clicks on the hyper link, it will display the destination page to user(for example if DOC_URL = 'http://forums.oracle.com', it will display the oracle forum page in a new browser).
But the issue is that, after user's session timeout (I set for 240 seconds through Shared Components>Edit Security Attributes, i set max the session timeout for example 240 seconds), when i click on this hyperlink, it doesn't trigger my session timeout page and it still displays the page (oracle forum page).
Why in APEX clicking the hyper link doesn't trigger session timeout page after the user session timeout???
how to implememt or fix to trigger the session timeout page after clicking on the hyperlinks?
(BTW, our APEX version is 3.2)
Thanks!

Hi Lily,
the reason for that behavior is that APEX is not involved anymore if you click on an external link. That's completely handled by your browser.
To involve APEX timeout handling you could redirect to a specific page in your application which performs the final redirect.
For example:
1) Create a new page 999
2) Create hidden page item P999_URL
3) Create a before header PL/SQL process with the following source
owa_util.redirect_url('http://'||:P999_URL);
apex_application.g_unrecoverable_error := TRUE;If you want to embed a link, create a link to page 999 and set the page item P999_URL to forums.oracle.com
You could also add a white list into the above code to verify that you are just redirecting to valid URLs, so that nobody is using your trusted application URL for phishing attacks.
Hope that gives you a direction
Patrick

Hyperlinks (a href) have been outdated for a very long time

I have felt that "a href" hyprlinks have been outdated for a very long time.
so much so that they should no longer be known to most developers (like frames and html based hyperlink maps)
the only thing they can do is cause a new page to load.
The event which causes this has to be a click (on an image, string of text or other compatable html object).
and the event itself has to be the loading of a new page.
by comparason by using javascript you can use ANY html attribute (Onclick, OnMouseover, OnMouseout ect) to trigger to event
or you can use ANY event listener to trigger the event.
You could also set these to only trigger under specific circumstances. (for example an onclick event followed by a mouse over at least 3 seconds later)
and the event which occurs can be anything
it could be a simple page change
or it could bea page change with a modificaton (such as a preloader displaying to hide the fact that the new page is loading)
or it could be a page change, or an animation, or anything else you can think of determined by an IF statemen
furthermore by using AJAX or JQUERY you can have an event which alters a database or SQL file or, in simple cases plain text file based on the users actions - and then determines the action it performs based on the content of the database or SQL file or text file
This coveres everything from very simple actions
to very complex dynamic actions which have an infininte range of possibilites
so
why are is a href still used?

I don't think any serious web developer can afford to make sweeping assumptions like this. Anchor tags are stable and 100% reliable on all platforms & web devices. It might surprise you to know that many people disable client-side scripts for security reasons. How will these people interact with your site?

Adding Hyperlinks in Report shuould take action in PDF Output

Hi All,
I had a requirement with reports
Explanation of the requirement.
I had a report aaa.rdf which gives a (one)employee monthly details.
which need to be output in PDF.
now the requuirement is
I had added labels "next-month" and "previous-month" labels at either side of report title.
I need the code to kept in these labels such that when this report is executed and taken into PDF file, when user
user clicks on the "next-month" or "previous-month" in that PDF file, the action to take is it should re-ran the same report(aaa.rdf) and should display the output in PDF in the same window but now the output should show the
coressponding next-month or previous-month results respectively of that employee.
please let me know if this make sense.
please guide for the above requirement.
this is very very urgent your help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance
RRM

Hi,
it is not too late ....
It's possible to add such Hyperlinks to the pdf-Output of a report.
With use of the built-in rw.set_hyperlink('hyperlink') in a format trigge you can realize that. "hyperlink" is for example then something like:
'/reports/rwservlet?destype=cache&desformat=pdf&report=drilldetail.jsp&userid=scott/tiger@josi&p_deptno='||:deptno
In your case it's a call to the same report you run before and you had to set your month-parameter in the call depending your current month (next or previous).
With srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('string') it's possible to add additional attributes like for example
srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('target=_new')
which opens a new browser window.
This works for HTML & PDF.

Rainer

Report to report hyperlinks 10g

I have been developing a report which calls another report via a hyperlink set using srw.set_hyperlink
Until now it has not been necessary to enter the host name in the url and the hyperlink is set as:
srw.set_hyperlink('rwservlet?reportname....
When clicking the link in the report the hostname was automatically appended and the link worked.
I have recently come back to the development and the link no longer seems to append the host name. We have recently upgraded to 10g AS is this a known thing or could it be something unrelated.
Old documentation:
"Now we need to embed this URL in the master report which shows the customer orders, but make it sensitive for a particular product id. A point to note here is that it is not required to embed the hostname. We are calling this URL from another, and thus when the browser sees a virtual URL for a hyperlink (such as /ows-bin/rwcgi60.exe?item+100871), it will
append the current host."
TIA

Also before I had code in the "BEFORE REPORT TRIGGER" which fired before the "REPORT ESCAPRES > BEFORE REPORT VALUE" now the value that is referenced from the before report trigger is not picked up implying that the report escape is done before the before report trigger. I have added table inserts to the before report trigger which show the value is valid.
Can anyone verify this ?

Alt text mouseover in hyperlink text?

I use alt tag text in Dreamweaver CS4 to give a text synopsis of the content on the linked page. If possible, how do you make alt text in the mouse-over of a hyperlink, for PDF output?External hyperlink text does give the address as a mouse-over alt text, but how do you modify that alt text?
If this is impossible in InDesign CS4, what would be the most efficient work-around solution? Comment boxes in Acrobat? Flash?

There is no way that I know to define Alt text when creating a hyperlink. However, if a hyperlink points to a URL, when you pause your mouse over the hyperlink in Acrobat or Reader, a tooltip will show the URL the hyperlink points to.
What you might investigate is using buttons. A little-used feature of creating buttons (which can be used to trigger actions of various kinds) is that you can specify what you could call "Alt text" which appears as tooltips when you mouse over them. When you define the button in the Button panel in CS4 or CS5, go to the flyout menu in the Button panel and select PDF Options. There is a Description field there which creates the text for a tooltip. So if the button is used to trigger a sound, for example, you could have the Description read "Double-click to Play". You'll see that text in the tooltip.

Hyperlink in PDF vs. HTML

I have figured out a way to create an ASCII file from our report
that can be opened from Excel. This file must include headers
so that is the reasoning for not using Oracle's delimited
option. I have then added a boilerplate text object to the
report. I then added the following PL/SQL to the format trigger
of the boilerplate text object:
srw.set_hyperlink('http:\\ourserver.lanyon.com\test\' || RTRIM
(LTRIM(SUBSTR(:P_FILENAME, INSTR(:P_FILENAME, '\', -1) + 1))));
where :P_FILENAME is the absolute path to the Excel file (e.g.,
f:\oracle\reports\test\test.xls)
On the parameters page, I allow the users to run the report to
HTML or PDF (some customers demand HTML and others, PDF). If
the user selects HTML, the hyperlink works as expected.
However, if the user runs the report to PDF and clicks on the
link, the following URL is displayed in the browser and, of
course, does not bring up the Excel file:
http://ourserver.lanyon.com/dev60cgi///ourserver.lanyon.com/test/
test.xls
Why is the 'http://ourserver.lanyon.com/dev60cgi/' included in
the URL in PDF and not in HTML?

hello,
you might try to use the protocol prefix file:
e.g. file:///d|/myfiles/test.xsl
relative urls like d:/... are interpreted differently by
browsers or acrobat reader.

How to handle multiple reports with single hyperlink parameter

Please suggest in my drill down report
i have two reports linked with one hyperlink
parameter, how to handle this?
please suggest for popup window with sample solution.
for example
report A--->B--->Chosse Report c or D
based on parameter hyperlink at report B.
Thanks in advance
Raj

Yes U R correct, that
I'm using srw.set_hyperlink in plsql format trigger
to open other reports , now the problem is
how to carry over the hyperlink parameter to popup window
and allow user to choose any reports based on the
parameter value.
for example
report A (Sales person summmary report)
|
| (choose sales person drilled to orders report B)
|
B (report has the hyperlink on order no)
|
|
C,D,E (many reports based on order no
customer,order details,pending items
to be shipped)
Now how to handle the situation from b to c,d,e
I suggest use hyperlink at B to open popup to show
reports C,D,E with the order no has parameter.
please suggest for javascript to open popup window
for reports c,d,e.
Thanks

10G Reports Hyperlink has strange characters after domain address

To all,
I have a 10G Report that uses a BeforeParamForm trigger to build a parameter called "START_URL".
When the BeforeParamForm trigger ends the parameter START_URL contains the value:
http://SEPAP33:80/reports/rwservlet?omst1
I am using this parameter so that I don't have to hard-code the domain address on the Hyperlink line of the field property.
On the Paper Layout I have a Field called 'Premise' that has the Hyperlink property filled in as:
:start_url+report=e:/apps/oms/premise_outage_detail.rdf+desformat=pdf+paramform=no+p_sdate=&sdate+p_edate=&edate+p_premise=&premise_id
When the report executes it should set the Hyperlink line to look like this: http://SEPAP33:80/reports/rwservlet/?omst1
report=e:/apps/oms/premise_outage_detail.rdfdesformat=pdf+paramform=no+p_sdate=01-jan-07+p_edate=01-aug-2007+p_premise=97
Unfortunately when the report runs the first section looks like this:
http://SEPAP33:80/reports/rwservlet/getfile/HWnZXZIgVBOPS/RLkg==/+report=...(the rest is correct)
Does anybody know what is causing this Hyperlink to be built improperly with "getfile/HWnZXZIgVBOPS/RLkg==" in there? I have used SRW.MESSAGE to output the :Start_URL and it is correct.
I have also tried using SRW.set_hyperlink in the format trigger. The wrong URL value also comes up this way.
Thanks,
Troy

Hello,
The URL :
http://SEPAP33:80/reports/rwservlet/getfile/HWnZXZIgVBOPS/RLkg==/
is a typical URL added by the Reports servlet in the BASE HREF tag.
