KM Context Menu 'action' as hyperlink

Can the km property actions be displayed as a hyperlink(s) instead of as a context menu. For example can I remove the action context menu and replace it with a hyperlink that says 'New Document'. This link when clicked would yield the document upload dialog.

Hi,
yes, check "Command Style for Root" - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/87/3d48475ee8bd448c4031aa98d90524/frameset.htm

[CS4/5] [JS] Which paragraph style does the panel context menu action work on?

Hi all,
I am trying to write something similar as http://forums.adobe.com/message/2866720#2866720 for the paragraph style context menu. I also would like to find out which paragraph style has been selected when the context menu opens. In the thread there is a "dirty" solution for this, the Edit and Apply options of the context menu also mention the name of the paragraph style. This works as long as the paragraph style is unique.
In my situation the paragraph style names are not always unique, the same name is used in different paragraph style groups. I thought of an even "dirtier" solution that might work for this. The basic idea behind this is to create a new text, asfaik Indesign will automatically apply the active paragraph style to this text and it is easy to grab this style. The code for this is below:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
var myTextFrame = myDoc.textFrames.add();
myTextFrame.contents = "grab the paraStyle";
var myParaStyle = myTextFrame.paragraphs[0].appliedParagraphStyle;
myTextFrame.remove();
In my situation this approach seems to work fine but I am wondering if there is something against creating a new textframe and removing it later? And will the new text always get the current selected paragraph style?
Best Regards,
Bill

I finetuned the snippet above a bit further. In some cases the context menu will be activated (right mouseclick) from a style that is not currently selected. In thoses cases the example above doesn't give the correct information. In order to avoid this I am now applying the paragraph style of the current context menu to an intermediate textframe. The snippet below is placed inside the EventHandler of my custom context menu item.
var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
//store current selection
var mySelection = myDoc.selection;
//create intermediate textframe
var myTextFrame = myDoc.textFrames.add();
myTextFrame.contents = "grab the paraStyle";
myTextFrame.select();
//apply the para style of the context menu to the intermediate text
var contextMenu = app.menus.item("Text Style List Context Menu"); //or "$ID/RtMenuStyleListItem"
var applyMenuItem = contextMenu.menuItems.itemByID(8488).associatedMenuAction; //Apply "para style for context menu"
applyMenuItem.invoke();
//grab the para style of the context menu
var myParaStyle = myTextFrame.paragraphs[0].appliedParagraphStyle;
//restore original selection and remove intermediate textframe
myDoc.selection = mySelection;
myTextFrame.remove();
Again this snippet seems to work fine. I realize this approach will only work for para styles in a Document object and not for default para styles defined in the Application (suggestions to solve this?). A further refinement could be to first check if a para style name is unique, if that is the case the solution of Jongware (see http://forums.adobe.com/message/2861568#2861568) can be used and an intermediate textframe is not required.
I know this is a dirty solution but are there any issues with this approach?

When I right-click, the same context menu opens up (the menu for hyperlinks, with "Open Link in New Tab" and the like) regardless of what/where I right-click.

Regardless of where I right-click on a displayed webpage (NOT the menu bar at the top of the screen), be it highlighted text, a blank spot in a webpage, or anything, the context menu for a hyperlink pops up (with the options for opening it in a new tab, window or private window, bookmarking), and none of the options actually do anything even if it is a hyperlink I'm clicking on. Using keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl + clicking work fine. I haven't installed any plugins recently, and it only started a few hours ago. Wat do?

Try disabling Firebug and see how it is.

How to run report from context menu using XML Extensions?

I have found an example how to run SQL command from context menu:
<items>
<folder type="TABLE">
<name>UserDefined ContextMenus</name>
<item TYPE="TABLE" reloadparent="true">
<title>Create SYNONYM</title>
<prompt type="check">
<label>PUBLIC</label>
<value>PUBLIC</value>
</prompt>
<prompt>
<label>NEW SYNONYM NAME</label>
</prompt>
<sql>
<![CDATA[CREATE #0# SYNONYM #1# for "#OBJECT_OWNER#"."#OBJECT_NAME#"]]>
</sql>
<help>
This action create a SYNONYM (optionally public) for the selected table.</help>
<confirmation>
<title>Confirmation</title>
<prompt>SYNONYM "#1#" for "#OBJECT_NAME#" has been created.</prompt>
</confirmation>
</item>
</folder>
</items>
</prompt>
But instead of executing SQL command I need to show result page of report based on SELECT statement.

Hi dz_r-
Not sure exactly what you mean by "result page of report", but extensive documentation on the xml schema defining context menu actions is available at the schema location.
<items xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xsi:schemaLocation="http://xmlns.oracle.com/sqldeveloper/3_1/dialogs"
  xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/sqldeveloper/3_1/dialogs">

Is it possible to create a hyperlink in a context menu entry?

We use Altium Designer, which export schematics to PDF.
For the parameters it uses the context menu of the pdf specs.
One entry in the menu is a path to a document.
Is it possible to get an hyperlink to this Path/URL, to open it directly out of the Adobe Reader XI?
In the current output it is not possible.
What must be done in the PDF definition to realize the hyperlink?
best regards
Silvio Kilz

Are you using JavaScript to create this menu? If so then you can expand your code to open a file (or a web-link) based on the user's selection.

2.1.1 Problem with User Defined Reports with actions on the context menu

I use the User Defined Reports quite a lot, and export and publish these to other members of the team as Shared Reports. I'm also quite disappointed that there seems to be no further development in this area of SQL Developer.
One of the totally undocumented features of User Defined Reports is the ability to attach actions to a context menu, and pass data from the grid to a procedure, for example. Copying, then exporting the sessions report (from All Reports -> Data Dictionary Reports -> Database Administration -> Sessions) exposes the XML for adding actions to the context menu. The snippet for killing a session looks like this:
<item reload="true" reloadparent="false" removeFromParent="false">
<title>Kill Session</title>
<prompt type="confirm" >
    <label>Kill Session?</label>
    <default><![CDATA[]]></default>
    <value><![CDATA[]]></value>
</prompt>
<sql><![CDATA[ALTER SYSTEM KILL SESSION '#SID#, #SERIAL#' IMMEDIATE]]></sql>
<help>Kill the selected session.</help>
</item>So to add this type of functionality to your own user defined reports, you need to export the report, edit the XML, and import it again. It seems to work fine to add this to the master reports, but if you add an <item> element to the child reports, the context menu items appear on the master report too, and they are duplicated many times. I'm not sure if the action of exporting the report adds to the number of times the context menu appears.
Warning - if you edit a report using SQL Developer, all the <item> tags are removed. Once you've added actions to a context menu, you can only edit the report by exporting it, modifying the XML and importing it again.
Has anyone else seen this behavior? Have you found a work-around?
To the SQL Developer team: Are there any plans to allow the adding of user defined context menu items to reports using the GUI in the near future?

You're right the context menu needs a GUI desperately. You can request this at the SQL Developer Exchange, so other users can vote and add weight for possible future implementation.

K.

Lightroom 5: AppleScript: action "AXShowMenu" in Smart Collection panel does not show context menu

We are developing a simple automatization tool using Lightroom 5 (the newest version of the CC) using AppleScript.
For some actions, we need the context menu in the Smart Collections panel, for example to import Smart Collection descriptions.
According to the documentation and various sources on stackoverflow and elsewhere, AXShowMenu should bring up that menu.
So far, I have not been able to make that context menu pop up.
Using UIElementInspector and UI Browser, I located the element which does have the AXShowMenu action attached. Based on the code provided by UI Browser, I got the following script, which I run from the Applescript Editor:
tell application "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5"
activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Lightroom"
set frontmost to true
perform action 1 of static text "Smart Collections" of group 1 of row 11 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of window 6
delay 2
end tell
end tell
end tell
tell application "AppleScript Editor" to activate
Note that if you try to recreate this, the number of the window as well as the number of the row may be different. Also, the last line is just convenience, and not really relevant for the code.
In the Results window in AppleScript Editor, I have the following:
perform action 1 of static text "Smart Collections" of group 1 of row 11 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of window 6 of process "Lightroom"
--> action "AXShowMenu" of static text "Smart Collections" of group 1 of row 11 of outline 1 of scroll area 1 of window 6 of application process "Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5"
which means that I did invoke the action.
But … nothing happens.
Any insight, workaround etc. is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Just for the records, I did ask the same question on Stackoverflow, and there I got an answer which does work. This solution uses a little Python program to really simulate mouse clicks.

Context Menu in BW Report Iview not opening after upgrade to Portal 7.3

Hi All,
We have a unusual problem that, the Context menu of the BW reports for options like filtering is not opening post Upgrade to Portal 7.3 for End users.
However, with Super Admin role, the Context menu opens for the BW report Iview.
I have tried giving the same permission that the Super Admin Role has on the BW Report Iview to the End users, still no success.
Any idea? Anybody faced same kind of problem?
Please revert for any more info.
BR,
Uday

Hi Uday,
This is really a shot in the dark since I have not done much with 7.3. Have you checked for UME actions that are assigned to the administrator but not the end user?
Best regards,

How to create a context menu in ALV table cell editor(Webdynpro abap )

Hello Experts,
I am having a problem in creating a context menu in a table cell editor in the ALV table output.I have assigned a 'lta' as the cell editor.But befor assigning the lta as cell editor I have assigned the menu to the lta.But when the view is rendered I can see the lta with the actioned assigned to it.But I cannot see the context menu.
The code snippet below:
"Create menu for each coloumn
create OBJECT lo_menu_actions type CL_SALV_WD_VE_MENU EXPORTING
      id = 'MITM_ACTIONS'.
lo_menu_actions->set_visible( value = abap_true ).
lo_menu_actions->set_visible_fieldname( value = 'ACTIONS' ).
"ADd menu items
CREATE OBJECT lo_menu_item_create type CL_SALV_WD_VE_MENU
exporting
    id = 'MITM_CREATE_EXPRESSION'.
lo_menu_item_create->set_visible( value = abap_true ).
lo_menu_item_create->set_visible_fieldname( value = 'Create' ).
"Add item 1
lo_menu_actions->ADD_ITEM( VALUE = lo_menu_item_create ).
" Set the cell editor for each column cell(link to an action)
LOOP AT lt_node_dec_tab_cols INTO ls_node_dec_tab_cols .
    lv_column_name = ls_node_dec_tab_cols-object_name.
    lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( lv_column_name ).
   "Create 'lta' Ui item
    CREATE OBJECT lo_lta TYPE cl_salv_wd_uie_link_to_action.
    lo_lta->set_menu( value = lo_menu_actions ).
    lo_lta->set_text_fieldname( lv_column_name ).
    lr_column->set_cell_editor( lo_lta ).
    IF ls_node_dec_tab_cols-is_result EQ abap_true.
      lr_column->set_cell_design( value =
                  cl_wd_table_column=>e_cell_design-key_medium ).
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Hi Prakash,
I have not come across this requirement till now to have context menu in a cell editor of alv.
Unfortunately the implementation of method SET_MENU of alv ui elements ( ex: cl_salv_wd_uie_text_view ) is not updating alv configurable table, instead it just stores in a global attribute as string. Hence has no effect on context menu.
If your user is very particular about this requirement of having context menu in cell editor, you can go for a normal table. Because, normal table's cell editor has the property to set the menuID as we do it for other ui elements.

Rama

Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office Document to a PDF using the Context Menu?

Why can I not Convert a Microsoft Office 2013 Document to a PDF using the options found in the Context Menu? (Ex: Convert to PDF, Combine Supported Files into PDF?)
I updated to Acrobat XI PRO recently, but now i'm unable to combine or convert microsoft word docs to PDF.
In Adobe Acrobat X I had this feature below, and it would combine Microsoft Office Documents all into a single PDF. Now I no longer have this issue in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. It seems like it was program named Adobe Elements that was running the conversion.

Ajlan. That page is showing as not available. Would the fix apply to Adobe Acrobat X and XI?

Right-click finder context menu no longer works

When I bring up the context menu on any file/folder in my finder or desktop, none of the actions work - such as "Move to Trash", "Get Info", "Duplicate". In debugging I removed MagicPrefs, thinking it might issues with the mouse.
It works if I used shortcut keys, or drag files to the trash.
I'm not sure what changed recently - any help would be greatly appreciated.
-John

I'm able to bring up the menu (by right-click or control-click), all the options are enabled (nothing grayed out) ... when I choose any of them, nothing happens. No UI error, nothing in any of the logs I looked at.
I switched to a wire-mouse and got the same result. I used the track pad and got the same result.
Another observation - the labels do work, I can label a file some color and then remove it.

Create an context menu item to open a file on a specific display

Hello,
I have an external display connected to my MBP, but I don't always need to use it so it's not always on. I'd like to have a way to open a file (or application) on a specified display on a case by case basis. I know that I can assign an application to open on a specific display by right-clicking on the app in the dock and selecting options->assign to. The problem with this is that it's a global change. When I'm working on school work, I usually like to have reference material (pdfs, wepages, etc) open on the external display while I'm working in Word on the MBPs monitor.
What I'd like to be able to do is right click on the file (or app) and use a context menu item to open the item on a specific display. Does anyone know of an automator action/applescript/terminal command to create a context menu item like this?
Thanks.

I use "Open Terminal Here" script for that:

Cannot change "Open with" (in context menu) from CS3 to CS6

I have CS5 and CS6 installed, and now I've also installed CS3 (because of problems with ps actions that does not work properly), and in the context menu "Open with", "Open" and "Edit" now starts CS3 instead of CS6.
How change all that to CS6?
Note:
when choosing "Open with", "Select standard program", and browse/selecting the CS6 exe-file, then STILL the CS3 is displayed in context menu and the CS3 starts. It's like there is some assocciation from CS6 to CS3 that cannot be altered??
Do I have to uninstall CS6 and install CS6 again, or what?
OS: Windows 7.
And yes, all my PS versions are legit.

When you install a version of Photoshop the install will associate many image file types the the Photoshop versions your installing. You may want to re-install CS6 on top of itself and the update it. You will still have all your Photoshop preferences and CS6 add-ons install and CS6 will be the default application for image file types. Or you can manually change all the image file type associations. Adobe Bridge CS6 may also be able to change image fie types associations in its edit preferences UI. I not sure about the bridge fie each version of the bridge I have installed shows that the same level as tne bridge version of Photoshop is associated with image file file type. After I installed CS2 I manually change Image File association back to CC. However I had to re-install CC a couple of times since then. I have CS2, Subscription CS6 version and CC installed on my workstation.
If you have old CS3 actions that do not work in CS5 and CS6 you can edit them and modify them to work in CS5 and CS6. If the action add adjustment layers and that is where your you having Problems.. Adobe introduced options in CS4 adjustment panel that can cause Photoshop to work incorrectly. If you set the option to Adobe defaults setting you may fine that your actions that add Adjustment layer work correctly. For some unknown reason Adobe refuses the address the bad options they added to the Adjustments panels fly-out menu. The options change Photoshop Behavior some time which simply put is a bug waiting to bite.
