Layout of Regions

Hmmm, more layout poblems :)
It's funny that most of the problems I seem to be having with APEX are layout problems!
I'm just not sure of how to get even simple layout designs into APEX.
eg. this time I've got 2 regions...
| | | |
| | | |
|___| |___|They are in 2 separate columns (columns 1 and 2).
And I want to add another region on top or below that has controls (like buttons) in it, but I want this region to span the width of all of the page's columns (or at least those 2).
I kinda wish there was a layout manager for regions, like the one for items.
eg. a region is a table, and it is inside another table (the page table).
You should be able to select (without editing the templates) where each region is in the page table, and how many rows/columns it spans.
Can this be done?
-EDIT-
I don't mind if I have to write the HTML to get the exact layout I want. In general, that would be easier for me - just to create an HTML page with the stuff I want in it.

would you mind explaining this a little more. I think I've accomplished essentially what you described, but for 4 reports to display with three on the top line and one spread across bottom line. I had to add an 'After header html region' that contained only the <table><tr><td> tags, the a Report within the 'Region position 3' the another html region with </td></tr><tr><td> then another report region followed by another html region with </td></tr><tr><td colspan="3"> then the longer report, then a html region in the before footer area that closed off the table data, row, and table.
It essentially showed up the same as having 3 reports in the "region position 3" area in col 1,2, & 3. and then having the 4th larger report in col 1 of a before footer region.

Opening a Word document in a form layout html region

Hi all,
In an Interactive Report I use
select '<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#'||package.f_get_document_type ( doc.id )||'" title="Document" width=20 height=20>'
) document
from table
to show an icon that eventually downloads (and shows) a word document.
Now I have a form layout html region and I want to have the same icon\link to show a document.The document however is not in the same table as the rest of the page is based on.
How can I show the document on this page?
Kind Regards,
Maurice

One way, create a hidden item, and return the value into it from your package (by having a computation that calls the function package.f_get_document_type(:P1_DOC_ID) . Let's say it's called :P1_DOC_TYPE
There's a new item type in Apex 4, which is Display Image.
When you get to settings in the item creation wizard, specify what the image is based on. From there, you can set it to be 'Image URL stored in Page item Value. Then on the source page, you can just specify the URL, #WORKSPACE_IMAGES#&P1_DOC_TYPE.

Issue with layout / repeat region part 2..

Seems I haven't cracked this just yet - basically have a
details page that is split into three - with a candidate's details
at the top left, their work profile at the top right, with a long
CV text appearing below both.
All the fields are from the Candidates table, except the
profiles - so the profiles need to be a repeat region to list them
all.
I can't for the life of me get the layout to work as I'd like
- it's as tho' anything appearing afer the repeat region won't
display.
See here :
link
Below the CV header the CV field should appear - as in :
<tr>
<td colspan="2" valign="top"
class="labelcell">CV</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="profilecell"><?php echo
$row_Candidates['CV']; ?></td>
</tr>
But when you view source, the <?php echo
$row_Candidates['CV']; ?> is AWOL, and appear as :
<tr>
<td colspan="2" valign="top"
class="labelcell">CV</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="profilecell"></td>
</tr>
Anyone spot what's up here?
Just as I thought I had this page's layout done and dusted,
as usual, there had to be something not quite right!

Issue with layout / repeat region

Can someone have a look at this please?
Basically two versions of a details page based on a recordset
using two tables and an interlinking lookup table.
The idea is to display a person's details at the top of the
page on the left (from the 'Candidates' table), and on the right
any job 'profiles' for that person (from a 'Profiles' table). The
page is obviously just showing the details for the selected
Candidate, but needs to show *all* the associated profiles.
So in the first page, the details are correct, but because it
shows the first record from the query.
So I thought it would be a simple case of adding a repeat
region to the 'Profiles' row on the right hand side. But when I do
that, most of the contact details don't display - only the ID and
firstname fields.

Any clues?

Facing problem in placing portlets in Web Layout

I am facing problem in placing portlets on Web layout page-
1. I am getting some space between the regions. I want that my portlet should join adjacent only not even a single pixel gap should be there.
2. In Web Layout, First region is the left most and after that subsequent region comes right to first region and one after other. But my second and third region's portlet are coming adjacent instead of third region's portlet coming under second region's portlet
Please help...............

The first issue is a bug/feature that has been changed in 3.0.8 (9iAS MR1) due out this week. In previous releases we added spacing arbitrarily. Now, you can define the spacing in the region properties.
I don't understand issue number 2. Can you clarify the problem?

Grid Layout in theme 26

Hi,
I am using Oracle Apex 4.2.1
I have been following a Youtube Video from Oracle Learning: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPgQZTsdSBI
The video demonstrates an example of grid layout for regions. The layout has 12 columns and and 4 regions, the regions using 3 columns each. In the video the regions align perfectly.
I have tried to recreate this in theme 26 but it does not work. I have set theme 26 to reference the page templates for theme 25. However, this does not work and the regions appear next to each other using 1 grid each with no spacing.
Any ideas on how to fix this in theme 26?
Thanks,
JIM

The video demonstrates an example of grid layout for regions. The layout has 12 columns and and 4 regions, the regions using 3 columns each. In the video the regions align perfectly. The video demonstration uses theme 25, which has page templates set up for a CSS grid system with 12 fixed-width columns.
I have tried to recreate this in theme 26 but it does not work.The theme 26 page templates are configured to use HTML table layout with a dynamic, variable number of columns. HTML tables expand to fit their contents, so the width of the columns is also variable.
I have set theme 26 to reference the page templates for theme 25.Don't know what you mean by this. Please explain in more detail.
However, this does not work and the regions appear next to each other using 1 grid each with no spacing.
Any ideas on how to fix this in theme 26?Basically there's nothing to "fix". This is how the table-based layout used in theme 26 works. The regions only appear to use "1 grid each" because their content is all the same size. If you add different content to the regions (as I have) then the table columns change width to fit it. You could use CSS to apply fixed widths to the columns, but that kind of defeats the purpose of using table-based layout.
The themes in APEX 4.2 don't appear to specify spacing between regions when using HTML table layout, but this can be controlled using CSS.
Why are you trying to use theme 26 rather than theme 25 as shown in the video demo? They don't look that different.

Portal layout

Hi,
We are planning to use weblogic portal 8.1 beta version.
We have various user groups exist in our system (physician ,caregiver....).
We want to have different home page layout for these groups .
For example for physician, the home page may be of 2 column layout and for caregiver
it may be of 3 column layout.
In portal 4.0 there was a concept called "group portal" and we can assign different
page layout for these group portal.
Can we have something similar to that in 8.1b version.
I know a new concept introduced in portal 8.1b version called "role".
Do I need to create various role to fullfill my objective?
Do I need to create different user segments for that ??
Thanks,
Anju

The documentation for the basic info on how to create a layout using regions is at
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_15/portal.1014/b13809/lookfeel.htm
Most of the pages I have created are the typical two-column layout in the middle (left column being the "narrow" column, right column being a specified no. of pixels or a percentage width) with a "header" region above and a "footer" region below, both of which cover the width of the regions in the two-column area. Each of those areas may also have multiple regions within it depending on what content will be published there and how you want that content display (ex. one portlet region with all display options and one portlet region without display options, and one item region.) Warning: the whole creating regions thing may drive you nuts trying to get them to do what you want them to do. :-) Play around on a few test pages to get the feel of creating and editing regions - adding portlets and items to the regions to see how they will look. Once you have figured out your page layout and how you want all your regions setup, I recommend creating that layout in a Portal Template -- under Navigator > Page Groups > Shared Objects > Portal Templates -- that can be applied to any pages in any page group that needs that layout.
To get the beginnings of a 2-column layout page with a header and footer region: Create two regions below the initial region that is on a page. In the middle region, create a region to the right. Edit each region to define its region type (portlets, items, or sub-page links), size, and other attributes.

Gnome ignores keyboard layout settings

Hi everybody!
As easy as the title states, I set a number of keyboard layouts in Gnome and sort them in the relevant window, but every time I start a new session the English layout is automatically selected, against what I specified.
It's the only problem that wasn't fixed by switching to systemd.
Any idea?

I have exactly the same problem. I want to have multiple layouts, but it just seems impossible. English takes precedence for some reason. System settings do not have any impact on the setup. They are completely ignored.
The example on Gentoo only deals with one layout as does archlinux wiki. I need se, en, ru. But seems impossible for the time being. I guess gnome 3 does not separate keyboard layouts and regional layouts. Gnome 3 can only handle regional settings. To be absolutely clear, I would prefer gnome to show the menus in English, but use a Swedish keyboard layout.

How to Create Master Detail Page with Query Region

Hi,
1. I have a requirement that i need to create a Master(Supplier) Detail(Supplier Site) Page with Query Region.
Eg. Supplier A in Australia has Supplier Sites X in Melbourne and Y in Sydney.
      Supplier B in US has Supplier Sites C in New York and D in California.
I need to have Search, based on two fields Supplier Name and Country
Let us assume i am searching with Supplier Name A then the page should be in the below layout
Query Region
Supplier Name : A
Country:
Master
Supplier Name Country

Detail
Supplier Site City
X                   Melbourne
Y                   Sydney
In detail VO it should allow me to add new sites which means i need to connect this VO to database to insert new records
I have gone few threads and understood that this can be achieved by creating SupplierVO, SupplierSiteVO and a ViewLink.
But when tried i don't know how can i relate my query region with the Suppleir Table(Header Reagin and Table Using Wizard) and Supplier Site Table(Header Region and Table Using Wizard) i am not sure if i am correct or not, please advise
2. Also i need to have a Open button in this page and if click the button it should navigate to some other page.

Region Content Properties

In the content area page style -> folder layout tab -> region properties -> region content properties -> how do the "In Place Item Display" and "Associated Functions" settings affect the region, what is their purpose and when should they be used. I could not find any documentation. Thanks for your help.

The sort order only applies to the Sort By property, not the
Group By property.

Personalize Stack Layout: (responsibilityRN)

hi,
does anyone knows how to add a Servlet Include in the Personalize Stack Layout: (responsibilityRN) region of the web page of the eBusiness Suite?
I am always getting the same error when i put the servet and that is NoSuchMethodError
thanks,
federico

Hi,
These are the steps i follow
1) Go into Personalize Stack Layout: (responsibilityRN)
2) In the Stack Layout: (responsibilityRN) I choose Create Item
3) There I choose Level: Site
Item Style: Servlet Include
4) ID: XX_SERVLET
Source URI: oracle.apps.fnd.rocela.report.am.XXServlet
Admin Personalization: true
Rendered: true
I am getting NoSuchMethodError.
Do you think that the servlet it is waiting is a Controller and not a doGet and doPost servlet?
thanks,

View more details in the SummaryContainerRN

Hi all,
I just started reading about OAF, I dealt with simple personalization and i am trying now to do the following:
In each SSHR, there is a top region in which the employee name, number ... etc is displayed.
The details we are having now (shown) are: Employee number, employee name, organization email address and the business group.
I am trying to add others details, let's say the organization name.
Does not included to be a personalization or a customization!
I tried to personalize SummaryContainerRN region, according to what i understood my additional item should be in this path
Stack Layout: Summary Region>>>Labeled Field Layout: (PersonSummaryRN)
Should i customize the VO then create an item there?
Am i in the correct path??
would you please advice about the steps required; I am a beginner!
Thanks in advance

Thanks a lor for your reply
the items i need to view is already in the VO. so no need to extend the current one..
I have personlize SummaryContainerRN and created the new item.
The item shown in only the function in which i personalize the SummaryContainerRN in.
I need the new item to be viewed in any page that use this common RN (SummaryContainerRN)
How can i achieve this?

Can't Display any item from PersonDetailsVO in SummaryRegion

Using SSHR, OAF personalization I am trying to display some more fields in the
summary region like 'DateOfBirth' & 'FullName' from 'PersonDetailsVO'
I create the item with the below steps:
1) Click on the "Personalize "Summary Region"" link
2) Create a item under "Stack Layout: Summary Region" with message styled text
3) Add Export View Attribute as "FullName"
4) Add View Attribute as "FullName" (for other available field see PersonDetailsVO.xml file)
$per/java/selfservice/common/server/PersonDetailsVO.xml
5) Add View Instance as "PersonDetailsVO"
After creating the item, I can see the prompt only but without data !!
Adding any new item from any VO is the same, only items from AsgSummaryVO is working fine....
Workaround:
1) I added PersonDetailsVO to the Application Module file, SummaryAM.xml by adding the below lines:
<ViewUsage
Name="PersonDetailsVO"
ViewObjectName="oracle.apps.per.selfservice.common.server.PersonDetailsVO" >
</ViewUsage>
Still the same issue, we need to have many fields in the summary region like salary details and some person details .....
Please assist me :)

Here's an example.
This one might be a bit complex. It is doing certain rendering depending on the result of the query execution.
You just need to focus on the commands for passing parameters and executing the VO in the initial lines.
OAViewObject oaviewobject84 = (OAViewObject)oaapplicationmodule.findViewObject("PayHoursByRateVO");
oaviewobject84.setWhereClauseParam(0, s2);
oaviewobject84.executeQuery();
if(flag)
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "executed PayHoursByRateVO", 1);
boolean flag3 = oaviewobject84.hasNext();
if(flag)
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "rateDetailExists = " + flag3, 1);
if(!flag3)
if(oatablebean84 != null)
oatablebean84.setRendered(false);
OAWebBean oawebbean5 = oawebbean.findIndexedChildRecursive("PayPayslipRateDetailsHead");
if(oawebbean5 != null)
oawebbean5.setRendered(false);
return;
} else
if(oatablebean84 != null)
oatablebean84.prepareForRendering(oapagecontext);
int k = oatablebean84.getIndexedChildCount();
for(int l = 1; l < k; l++)
DataObjectList dataobjectlist1 = oatablebean84.getColumnFormats();
DictionaryData dictionarydata1 = (DictionaryData)dataobjectlist1.getItem(l);
if(dictionarydata1 != null)
dictionarydata1.put("columnDataFormat", "numberFormat");
if(flag)
oapagecontext.writeDiagnostics(this, "formatted payRateDetailRegion", 1);
