ID6 Select Multiple Tables?

Hi:
For several versions of InDesign I have created newspaper classified ads using an InDesign Javascript that takes raw text placed in a document, styles it, and places it into tables. This allows for the ads to have backgrounds, boxes, etc.
Until ID6, I could select multiple ads (that is, multiple tables) and move the selected group between columns on the page.
With ID6, I am only able to select one ad [table] at time -- or so it seems.
I can't find any info on this in Help pages, etc.
Has the interface been changed to disallow multiple table selection? Am I an idiot, missing something obvious? Is there a workaround?
Thanks for your help.

Any help will be appreciated.

Hi Thomas,
Thanks a lot for the reply.
Can you tell me the latest SP installed in your system where this sparse selection is working ?
Thanks in advance for all the info.

Indesign cc crash on selecting multiple table row

If i try to select more than a row or the entire column indesign crash and quit. exported to cs6 and opened it works perfectly
https://www.dropbox.com/s/2ih8nu2cfc1rjs3/tableproblem.indd

Hi,
I'm experiencing exactly the same error - this is on a MacPro4.1 with Mountain Lion. I've repaired permissions and all the hardware checks out. Seems to crash on table selection - also in overprint the redraw on table selections is all over the place (selecting the top row seems to select 2 below it, switching to standard view seems to display correctly). CC seems very buggy, hopefully I can save my work as a template and use CS6 to finish up (going to print in less than 2 hours!)
Worth noting that there is no other program running in the background and it happens from a clean reboot.

How can we select multiple rows in table control for module pool program?

hi guru's
i cannt able to select multiple table control rows for deletion of records please give any code to select rows?
regrards,
satheesh.

On the Table Control attributes there is a "Selectability" option where you choose one of: None, Single, or Multiple. In your code you then need to pick up which rows have the selection column set to 'X'.

Select from multiple tables through dblink

I am seeking help. Can I select multiple tables through a dblink from a remote database? I tried, it seems it always return ORA-00933 error. code like this:
select A.ID, B.CODE, C.TYPE_DESC
from TABLE_ONE A@db_link , TABLE_TWO B@db_link, TABLE_THREE C@db_link;
where A.ID = B.ID
and B.CODE = C.CODE
Thanks in advance.

Just as an FYI, from a performance standpoint, it is frequently the case (though certainly not guaranteed) that you'll get better performance creating a view on the remote database that does the join of all three tables and to use that view in your query, particularly if you're also joining in local tables. Optimizing SQL statements across database links tends to be particularly hard, a view often helps force Oracle to join the remote tables on the remote database which is generally what you'd want. Of course, this is not a guarantee, and you can always get explicit with hints to force joins to happen on one or the other system, but this is frequently the easiest starting point.

Resizing multiple tables

I missed the original questions so, I open a new thread to give you responses which alas aren't pleasant.
I have a document with 18 separate/discontiguous tables and they are all a little too narrow. I want to resize them all a little wider to fit their columns.
Is there any way to resize multiple tables at once rather than one at a time?
The response is NO
I have tries using Apple-click to select multiple tables & resize them all at once (like we did in AppleWorks) but when I go to resize the rest become inactive & only 1 resizes.
Why are you using the past to speak of AppleWorks? I do the trick at this time with AppleWorks and I will continue to do it for months.
Am I missing something? Or is this onother one of my unanswerable questions. (That'll make #6)
I apologize but I'm unaware of the other five
And here I am trying to change the borders on the tables. I wanna put a cotted line at the bottom of the cells in ALL the tables at once, but ANY changes to all 18 tables at once grinds Pages to a SCREECHING HALT for 30 sec.. Maxing out my 1.6 PPC G5.
Same response, feature unavailable.
Is it surprising ? Definitely NO.
The tables are in fact using a quite clone of the one used in Numbers. So, it's a version 1. It's quite normal that we don't find some features available in a program existing since 1991.
Wow. Apple really needs to work on optimizing this thing to work with larger docs if they want to compete with Word.
If you really want that someone read your messages in AppleLand, you used the wrong channel.
Here we are end users trying to help end users.
To be read by an Apple employee you must use the channel dedicated to this purpose:
_Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'09

Build dynamic query depending upon selection of table and columns

Hi ,
I want your views on following requirement :
we r doing generic export to excel functionality .
1.User will select multiple tables and according to tables ,columns on that table will select
2.There can be multiple table
3.depending upon column and table selection , we have to build dynamic query and execute .
Please let me know is it possible .If yes then please tell me how to do above requirement.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Identifiers cannot be used as bind variables, query are parsed
before evaluate bind variables. Identifiers like table name.
For excel you can use some like this:
SET MARKUP HTML ON ENTMAP ON SPOOL ON PREFORMAT OFF
SPOOL test_xls.xls
SELECT colum1||chr(9)||columN FROM tableName;
or CSV:
SELECT colum1|| ',' ||columN FROM tableName;
SPOOL OFF
SET MARKUP HTML OFF ENTMAP OFF SPOOL OFF PREFORMAT ON
For construct the query i suggest to read "Dynamic SQL Statements":
http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/Oracle/0440__PL-SQL-Statements/0300__Dynamic-SQL.htm
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/appdev.111/b28370/dynamic.htm

Using radio button selection in multiple tables

Hello All,
I've got a bit of a design issue and it being a Friday my brain is a bit foggy and I can't seem to figure out a solution.
what I want to do is have 3 tables. The user should only be able to select one line from any of the three tables.
I can do this by having events that clear down selection on the two other tables on any selection of the third, but the select buttons of tables don't really give the UI impression that only one row can be selected. To do this I'd like to use the radio button element.
so
table A
choice - name
(o) - Anne
(o) - Bob
(o) - Charlie
Table B
choice - name
(x) - David
(o) - Ellen
(o) - Fran
Table C
choice - name
(o) - George
Here the entry in table B for David is selected. But any selection of any of the other options should deselected.
My thoughts are to use a radio button ui element, bind the "selected" value to a unique id for each row/table (an attribute of the node element for each table) and the value to a common shared attribute (not table specific).
Any better ideas - and certainly any which would mean I'm not going to have to maintain a lookup table of my unique ids and node elements to find out which one is selected?
Cheers,
Chris

Ok - here's how I did it.
I created another lookup table which had a guid and reference to the element.
in the each elements I had a guid which I bound to the key for selection property of the radio button in the table.
I then bound the selected key property to an attribute that was common to all elements.
in my "processing" logic I read the selected key, read the lookup table - and therefore got the reference to the selected element.
Would have been an awful lot easier if I could have used a reference to the element itself as the "key" - but that was required to be a character field.
[image showing radio button selection working across multiple tables|http://i51.tinypic.com/bi79dx.jpg]
End result works quite nicely.

Select Multiple Rows in a Table without CTRL

Expecting the user to press "Ctrl" when selecting multple rows is very unfriendly and unintuitive. We'd like the row selection to work as in ALV where you just select multiple rows by clicking on them.
We've set the tables rowSelectable to true and selectionMode to 'multi' but we still cannot select multiple rows without the CTRL hotkey.
This issue apparently [arose before|About selection in the table] but wasn't resolved.

Hello Marc,
you need to call IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE->set_selected(index = lv_index) sorry for the typo in my previous comment.
by calling IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE->set_selected method wont remove the lead selection.
to unselect the records, you can call the same method by passing the FLAG value as abap_false.
so for your usecase the logic will be like this in the ON_SELECT event handler
1. get the index of the new_lead_selection
2. check whether this is already seleted in the context node by calling IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE->IS_selected
3. if already selected then call IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE->set_selected( flag = abap_false index = lv_index)
   if not selected then call IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE->set_selected( index = lv_index )
Hope this solved your problem.

Selecting multiple rows in a table

Hi All,
I have one problem with selecting multiple rows in a table.I tried with setting table property-selectionMode as Multi, but i dinn't get the solution.
please provide me solution for this.
Thanks & Regards,
Sreelakshmi.

HI
Int leadSelection = wdcontext.nodemodelnode.getLeadSelection();
for(int i=0;i<wdcontext.nodeModelNode.size;i++)
    if(wdcontext.nodeModelNode.isMultiselected(i) || leadSelection ==i)
           String name = wdcontext.nodemodelnode.getnameelementatindex(i).getName();
           String address = wdcontext.nodemodelnode.getaddresselementatindex(i).getAddress();
           String age = wdcontext.nodemodelnode.getAgeelementatindex(i).getAge();
        Create a method for the Table Property onLeadSelect() where you can open a popup window
         Create a value node and with attributes same as Table attributes and then set the values of the table
         to the value node attributes.

-Sandip

Rashmi/Kukku,
First of all, Thanks for your help!
Is there any other way in which we can access tables other than using BAPIs or RFCs?
In my case, there is a table structure which has to be updated with values after validating a key. i don't think there is any RFC available now. do i need to create bapi/rfc for that?

Selecting multiple images in a table

Hi. I have a website and have recently decided to organize my
assets folder by creating subfolders. However, this has made all of
the pictures on my site turn into broken source codes. Is there a
way to select multiple images within a table and edit the source
code? If anyone can help me I'd greatly appreciate it!

You should always do this kind of thing using DW's Files
panel - DW will manage your links when you do.
Did you move all of the images into the same subfolder, or
different ones? If the latter, you will just have to remake all of
the links one by one. If the former you may be able to do
find/replace to find the old links and replace with the new folder
path.

Sample PHP Service selecting from multiple tables

Hi all!
I have the following challange:
How do I properly set up my PHP-service to insert, select, update and delete values from multiple tables?
So far, the standard templates generated by Flash Builder is based on a single table.
Example: I have 2 tables: [person] and [school]
[person] has [person_id, first_name, last_name, birthdate]
[school] has [school_id, person_id, school_name, city]
One [person] can have multiple [schools]
How should I define the selectByID function in PHP to be able to have
First name: [TextInput /]
Last name: [TextInput /]
Birthdate: [DateField /]
Schools:
[TabBar: School1, School2, School3 /]
[ViewStack1]
School name: [TextInput /]
Location name: [TextInput /]
[/ViewStack1]]
[ViewStack2]
School name: [TextInput /]
Location name: [TextInput /]
[/ViewStack2]]
[ViewStack3]
School name: [TextInput /]
Location name: [TextInput /]
[/ViewStack3]]
And even more interesting: How do I update all these fields back to the database?

First, the relationship between school and person is many-to-many NOT one-to-many -- you will need to add a junction table.
From the form you have given I would handle insertions like this:
loop through all the schools and see if the school already exist in the DB. If so, then store the school_id. If not, then create a new record and store the id. You should have an array collection of store_ids by the end of the loop
Check whether the student exists w/in the DB. If so, then you might consider aborting the operation or you could opt to do an update. If the student doesn't exist, then create a new student record and store the new student_id (mysql::insert_id)
Loop through the school_id array and add new student_id/school_id records into the junction table.
Retrieving records is much simpler -- it's just a join on the tables i.e. "SELECT * FROM student INNER JOIN school_student ON student.student_id = school_student.student_id INNER JOIN schools ON school_student.school_id = school.school_id WHERE student.first_name = 'John' AND student.last_name = 'Doe' (assuming there aren't more than one John Does of course!).

Selecting from multiple tables, into one internal table

Hi,
What is the best & most efficient method of selecting from multiple table (in my case 6,) into one internal table?
Thanks,
John
Points will be rewarded and all responses will be highly appreciated.

I have simple example :
First one - Join 5 tables
data : f1 type i,
          f2 type i,
          f3 type i.
start-of-selection.
get run time field f1.
write the query 4 or 5 tables join.
get run time field f2.
f3 = f2 - f1 ( Total time).
Second one - joins 3 table and use for all entries
data : f1 type i,
          f2 type i,
          f3 type i.
start-of-selection.
get run time field f1.
write the query 3 tables join and use for all entries
get run time field f2.
f3 = f2 - f1. ( Total time )
Finally you can have time diffrence between the both sql statement.
