Issue in navigation between pages

Hi,
I am working on developing the checkout flow of an e-commerce site. The first page (say page A)is the checkout collects the required user input. If the input is valid the user is taken to the confirmation page(say page B). Both these pages share a managed bean.
My issue is, when the user completes his first successful flow, and shops the second time and does a checkout, the pageA is not shown. He is directly taken to pageB.
I would like the pageA to be shown when the user comes for the sesond time in the same session.
My faces-config.xml looks as follows.
<faces-config>
<managed-bean>
<description>Checkout Bean</description>
<managed-bean-name>checkoutBean</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>ui.checkout.beans.CheckoutBean</managed-bean-class>
<managed-bean-scope>session</managed-bean-scope>
</managed-bean>
<navigation-rule>
<from-view-id>*</from-view-id>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>modifyPreference</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/view.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
<navigation-case>
<from-outcome>confirmOrder</from-outcome>
<to-view-id>/orderConfirmation.jsp</to-view-id>
</navigation-case>
</navigation-rule>
</faces-config>Please help me in solving this.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Raja

I am able to sort out the usage of passing non-visible properties using t:saveState.
However my original issue of the user not being able to see the default view still remains. My updated faces-config navigation rule looks as follows.
   <navigation-rule>
      <from-view-id>*</from-view-id>
      <navigation-case>
         <from-outcome>modifyPreference</from-outcome>
         <to-view-id>/view.jsp</to-view-id>
      </navigation-case>
      <navigation-case>
         <from-outcome>confirmOrder</from-outcome>
         <to-view-id>/orderConfirmation.jsp</to-view-id>
      </navigation-case>
      <navigation-case>
         <to-view-id>/view.jsp</to-view-id>
      </navigation-case>
   </navigation-rule>All I need is, when the user goes to orderConfirmation.jsp and in the same session if he tries to buy more products and does a checkout he should be taken to view.jsp rather than orderConfirmation.jsp.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Raja

How to remove white fade while navigating between pages?

I created small web page with 4 buttons which each of them leads to other page eg., Home,Gallery, Contacts,Reviews, but when i'm navigating between them there is annoying white flash! Is it possible to remove it?
P.S. I uploaded my site to businesscatalyst Home
Thank you!

That is so strange, I just tried on my OS X Safari and WIN 7 Chrome and everything just fine, but when I'm trying on same OS X Chrome it has white flash while transitioning through navigation. Thanks anyway mac_heibu!

Navigation between pages

Dear All,
A few days ago i started to work with webcenter portal and i have a problem:
My use case:
I have 2 pages(both based on default template), each of them contains single task flow with single page fragment:
page1 - contains task flow tf1.xml with page fragment view1.jsff
page2 - contains task flow tf2.xml with page fragment view2.jsff
I need to navigate between this 2 pages with custom buttons(or links) which have to be created inside page fragments.
I added both pages to default-navigation-model.xml and after running the application i am able to navigate between them using links, which template creates dynamiclly(taking all the default-navigation-model's content into iterator and creating navigation links on page load).
The code from template file(skipping the iterator):
<af:commandLink id="pt_cl1" text="#{node.title}"
inlineStyle="font-size:small;#{node.selected ? 'font-weight:bold;' : ''}"
action="pprnav"
disabled="#{not node.navigable}"
actionListener="#{navigationContext.processAction}"
clientComponent="#{node.attributes['Target'] == '_popup' ? true : false}">

<f:attribute name="node" value="#{node}"/>
all this works just fine.
Now i need to create a button in my view1.jsff(page fragment from first task flow on page1) , which would navigate me to my second page.
I am able to do this with goLink setting
navigate="#{naviagtionContext.defaultNavigationModel.node[page2].goLinkPrettyUrl}", but this reloads the whole template what i don't need, and also i would like to add some actionListener to this link or button later so i need to navigate using commandLink or commandButton.
The example from page template doesn't work for my pages:
My commandLink looks like this:
<af:commandLink id="pt_cl1" text="Go page 2"
action="pprnav"
actionListener="#{navigationContext.processAction}"
clientComponent="false">
<f:attribute name="node" value="#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.node['page2']}"/>
</af:commandLink>
but second line - action="pprnav" throws some empty screen and nothing else happens(guess it's because there is no partial page refresh in this case).
Without this line it works, i was able to insert some output text fields in my page and see, that the value of
#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.currentSelection.title} is changing properly(when i removed the action="pprnav" line, of couse without it navigation itself does not happen).
If i drop taskflows into my default-navigation-model.xml, skipping the pages action="pprnav" work fine(no empty screens appear and navigation happens), but i need to use the pages.
Is there any replacement to action="pprnav", to be able to navigate between these two pages?
Or may be there is another method to do this, which i couldn't find in Google?
BR,
Artur

It's an old thread, but I keep running into this issue every now and then.
The clue is:
Any task flow that uses the navigation model to trigger navigation within an application must include a parent-action activity named "wcnav_parentAction" in the task flow definition that propagates the "wcnav_outcome" to the root level, as follows:
<parent-action id="wcnav_parentAction">
<root-outcome>wcnav_outcome</root-outcome>
</parent-action>

Whole Page Refreshes while Navigating between Pages

Hi ,
I am using Jdev 11.1.1.6 and I tried to implement a custom template with custom navigation in the template. Below are the details :
1) Created a Template with navigation links on the left side .
2) Added the Default Navgation links as follows :
*<af:forEach var="node" varStatus="vs"*
*items="#{navigationContext.defaultNavigationModel.listModel['startNode=/, includeStartNode=false']}">*
*<af:goLink id="pt_gl1" text="#{node.title}"*
*destination="#{node.goLinkPrettyUrl}"*
*targetFrame="#{node.attributes['Target']}"*
*inlineStyle="font-size:small;#{node.selected ? 'font-weight:bold;' : ''}"/>*
*<af:spacer id="sp1" width="20px"/>*
*</af:forEach>*
3) I was able to display the content and the links and all the links are displaying the corresponding data in the content facet .
But when I click on any of the links the whole page is refreshing. Could you please let me know how can i make only the facet to refresh instead of whole page .
Thank you,
Sashank P

It's normal that when you are using an af:goLink the entire page is refreshing. An af:goLink is just a normal hyperlink.
That is normally the recommended case for a portal where you want robots to index your portal properly.
If you really want to use PPR you have to use a commandButton instead. There is an example of that code in the normal portal template when you create a new webcenter portal application. Just copy that part and you should be fine.

Hiding the Region Navigating between pages

Hi All,
I have two regions in page1 ( region1 & region2), when I click one of the columns in page2 I should see only region2. I have searched in forum but I didn't find any solution for this kind of problem.
How can I completely hide the region1 which is in page1? Is there any way that I can hide the region through conditional display
Thanks,
Suma.

I assume the clicking is using a link to page 1. In that link you can specify an item on the page 1 and flag it with some value. In the conditonal display of the region on the page 1 you may specify to show it only if that flag is NULL.

Slightly shift between pages is driving me nuts.

Hello,
I've been building my site and I noticed that there is a slight shift in between all of the pages and the contact page, I have copy and paste several times the coding from one page to the other one... sometimes it shifts up and down, when navigating between pages. I was wondering if someone can figure this out. Here is the coding for you to look. The first one si the index which is the correct position for the spry menu, title to be in, the second one is the contact one which is the one that shifts.

John, I duplicated the rule pix01 to pix02 and assigned it to the next image and its working, would you say that is ok?
It works but it's high maintenance using unnecessary, repetitive IDs for repeating page elements with the same CSS rules defined for each ID. There's lots of redundant CSS and you need a new ID defined for every image. That's creating a rod for your back.
Convert to a class - that's what they're for - and you're done.
Change
#pix01 {
          width: 600px;
          margin-top: 0;
          margin-right: auto;
          margin-bottom: 0;

          margin-bottom: 0;
          margin-left: 260px;
          height: 450px;
Change all
<div id="pix01">
to
<div class="pix01">
and you're done.
Note: there's even a school of thought which says IDs in CSS can be avoided altogether.

How to navigating between layers?( as if they were pages of a book?)

I need a good advice on design and navigating between some different layers.
I am a Adobe Director user, and I am used to think of “navigating between frames”. also frames as pages of a book, while in flash time-frames.
In Director one can navigate between different frames with each containing many components.
And this does not make any conflict since the frames are some kind of pages of a book, you go to any page you want and back again.
I am designing math training application in falsh-CS6, in which the user should be able to navigate from start-menu by choosing an
exercise number and then go to the wanted exercise and then create an exercise by a create_excercise button, there back again to menu to choose another and so on. How I can do it clean in flash?
As I see I have to place everything in the same “frame” in flash, and it becomes little practical and confusing since there
are many things all gathered in the same frame, where they should instead appear in their respective “pages”.
I have done some works in flash: made 4 layers in flash with the following contents:
layer 1: for my menu( contains 3 buttons, q1bt, q2bt, q3bt)
layer 2: for question 1( contains 3 buttons makeQ1bt, chekAns1bt, and gotoMenuBtn)
the same is for layer 3 and 4.
I see no options rather than making different components visible or invisible whole way! but is there a better way?
I appreciate any help.

Flash does allow more than one frame - that is one of the foundations of working with it. You can restrict yourself to using just one frame if you like, but it is not required and very often people use the timeline instead of keeping things in one place.
I have no familiarity with Director, but what you just described sounds like designing using the timeline of Flash. With Flash you can use the timeline in the fashion you just described where different pages occupy different frames of the timeline and you can navigate from one to another. You are not stuck with one frame in Flash... you can create a new keyframe at any point along the timeline and add new/different content to it, while retaining a menu that exists across all pages (or not - it's your choice)..

Navigation for Page Thumbnails no longer on sidebar, now a pop-up?

I've noticed in the last day or two that my Pages feature on the left hand navigation bar is no longer there. When I go to View>Navigation Panels>Pages it will come up but in a pop-up window. Why is this?
I rely on this feature to move pages back and forth between documents on two different monitors and the pop-ups for each document won't both appear at once. For example, when I click a thumbnail in a document on my left monitor the pop up that was in a document on my right monitor will disappear...therefore I have no where to drag the page to.
Is there any way that I can get the Pages navigation tool bar to show back up on the left hand side toolbar (with bookmarks, attachments, signatures, etc.)?
Btw, I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, Microsoft Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP3. I also have an Evermap Plug-in for bookmarks on my Adobe but I've had that for over 6 months and haven't had this issue until the last 2 days or so.
Thanks,
Jaime

Sometimes when an answer is that easy it can make you feel extremely dumb! That worked just as you both said. I'm not sure if I feel worse that it was that easy or that I spent two hours searching online and in the forums for the answer??
I really appreciate the quick--and correct--response gentlemen!

Navigation between diagrams on a SharePoint process repository

We have created a process diagram repository on Sharepoint 2010. Visio services is enabled on the site. The library is set to open documents in the Browser by default. The documents are stored as web diagram (*.wdv) in odrder to enable visitors to view them
without Visio installed on their workstation. Individual process documents can viewed OK.
We would now like to create hyperlinks between documents so that visitors who want to see the details of a subprocess task described in another document can jump to it by ctrl+clicking on the hyperlink, all this without leaving the browser window.
Yet, when I try to do it, the browser wants to open the linked document in Visio but does not display it using visioWebaccess.
Wen the subprocess detailed diagram is stored within the same document as a separate page, navigating from one page to another is not an issue. What we would like is to extend this seamless navigation to pages in different Visio web drawings stored in the
same library.
How can this be achieved ?
Bertrand

Hi,
Is the file format you mentioned is .vdw file instead of .wdv file?
And are the hyperlinks file format are also .vdw files?
Based on my research, published Visio diagrams can include hyperlinks which allow users to navigate to: other pages in the same diagram, other pages in other published diagrams, even other
sites using standard URLs, when the diagram is published to Visio Services as a Visio Web Drawing (VDW) file.
For more infroamtion, please refer to the link below:

Printing multiple page PDF document, printer won't cut between pages.

I'm using a large format printer, an Epson Stylus Pro 9600, and trying to print from a PDF. It prints fine, but prints as one continuous roll, instead of cutting between pages. I've gone through all of the Epson driver options, as well as options on the printer itself to try and get it to auto cut between pages, and it still won't. So I'm wondering if there's an option in Acrobat that I'm missing? Has anyone encountered this issue, or know where to look for the option I must be missing?

Print them separately then.
I don't think there is a solution that fits all (if "fit to Printable area" isn't good for you).

PDF with Portait and Landscape Orientation act differently between pages

Hi,
I have issue when I'm trying to have a landscape orientation in a PDF with another portrait page.
All I want to do is have a small page which indicates instructions on the form because it is a form builder, once the form is created by the user the landscape page gets hidden.
My issue here is that when I set a masterpage to landscape it makes it different to switch between pages.
I can't see more than 1 page at a time, just like it can't show a landscape and portait orientation together in the screen.
I have another form with landscape and portait together and it works fine, but this form doesn't stay normal... There must be something I'm missing...
It is annoying that I can't have more than one page in the screen, once I hit the bottom or the top of the page it switches automatically to the other page.
Please help me on this, I'm trying to figure out what is causing this bug..

Hi,
I haven't used form builder, but do you still have a viewState, try adding the following line in the docReady event of the form
event.target.viewState = { pageViewLayoutMode:2 };
This has the same effect as setting Enable Scrolling on the View ... Page Display menu.
A value of 1 would give you the single page view.

LJ 4050 PCL 5, wired network, win8.1, very long between pages.

I have Dell Inspirion 15R with Win 8.1, printing to 4050 over wired network. Print speed per page is fine, but the printer will print 1-2 pages, then pause, then print some more. Only the "processing" msg on the printer tells me it is still working. I use same laptop on a wireless network to a different HP printer and there is no delay between pages. Others using Windows 7 do not have same problem. Driver is the latest. Is this a problem with port or print queue ?
Thanks

I am sorry, but to get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial printer. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
I hope this helps.

Large number of http posts navigating between forms

Hi,
i'm not really a forms person (well not since v3/4 running character mode on a mainframe!), so please be patient if I'm not providing the most useful information.
An oracle forms 10 system that I have fallen into supporting has to me very poor performance in doing simple things like navigating between forms/tabs.
Looking at the java console (Running Sun JRE 1.6.0_17), and turning on network tracing, I can see a much larger number of post requests than I would expect (I looked here first as initially we had an issue with every request going via a proxy server, and I wondered if we had lost the bypass proxy setting). Only a normal number of GETS though.
Moving to one particualr detail form from a master record is generating over 300 post requests - I'v confirmed this looking at the Apache logs on the server. This is the worst one I have found, but in general the application appears to be extremely 'chatty'
The only other system I work with which uses forms doesn't generate anything like these numbers of requests, which makes me think this isn't normal (As well as the fact this particular form is very slow to open)
This is a third party application, so i don't have access to the source unfortunately.
Is there anything we should look at in our setup, or is this likely to be an application coding issue? This app is a recent conversion from a forms 6 client server application (Which itself ran ok, at least this bit of the application did with no delays in navigation between screens).
I'm happy to go back to the supplier, but it might help if I can point them into some specific directions, plus i'd like to know what's going on too!
Regards,
Carl

Sounds odd. 300 Requests is by far too much. As it was a C/S application: did they do anything else except the recompile on 10g? Moving from C/S to 10g webforms seems to be easy as you just need to recompile but in fact it isn't. There are many things which didn't matter in a C/S environment but have disastrous effects once the form is deployed over the web. The synchronize built in for example. In C/S calls to synchronize wasn't that bad; But when you are using web deployed forms...each call to synchronize is a roundtrip. The usage of timers is also best kept on a low level in webforms for example.
A good starting point for the whole do's and dont's when moving forms to the web is the forms upgrade center:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/forms/index-095046.html
If you don't have the source code available that's unfortune; but if you want to know what's happening behind the scenes there is the possibility to trace a forms session:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/web.1012/b14032/tracing002.htm#i1035515
maybe this sheds some light upon what's going on.
cheers
