Number of characters in a dynamic form/list/mysql table

Hi all,
I mentioned this in a previous post but wanted to give it a home of it's own. I have a dynamic list, updated and edited by a dynamic form. However, with one of the columns I can only fit about 50% / 4 lines of text in. I am unsure whether the problem lies in the Form, when ebtering the text - or the List when displaying it. (I presume it will not be connected to the Mysql table itself...?)
When I enter the info into the Update Form, the text area accepts all the characters. However, when I hit update and am returned to the list only about half show. Also, if I then return to the form to update again - only about half are shown in the Update Form - the sentence is simply cut off about half way. This leads me to believe that it is a problem with the Update Form rather than the List - but hey, if I had the answers I wouldn't be here.
Jpg attached to try an explain my rabid ramblings...

let´s make a bet, OK ? My bet is that the corressponding database column which stores the textarea value is "varchar" and has been set to accept a max. value of approx. 100 chars, correct ?

Dynamic Forms & Lists

Hi All
i have 4 tables (A, B, C, D) and i created dynamic list using Dynamic List Wizard and the result was ok showed all the Fields (using recordset).
now i wanna create a Dynamic form to insert into those 4 tables, so from the dynamic list if i click edit, delete... it takes me to the same page where i can edit, delete or update.
i tried many things like insert into 2 tables but did not work because the link transaction did not work plus in this case i have to create delete page, insert page and update page which already made me lost.
please help

Hi grandlorie,
Sorry for bothering, but is there anyone who can explain in details how to do that i can not go any further with my project?
in regards to the Custom Triggers I mentioned:
1. please open the ADDT helpfile from the Control Panel´s Help button
2. read the section "Custom transaction and triggers", which also provides some PHP code examples to get you started.
You will notice that Custom Triggers (respectively what you can do with them, respectively what code should go in there) doesn´t allow for providing ready-made solutions, as it all depends on aspects like your table structure etc.

Dynamic Form list/menu

I'm trying to insert a dynamicly generated form list/menu dropdown item.
Everything works but the list always shows me the last record from the database as the first item in the list (ASC or DESC).
I want to put a dummy label as the first item in the list like: Select from list
How can i do this, because even if i put a static value in the value list items, it still shows the last item from the recordset first instead of the static value.
Does anybody have an idea how i can create a dynamic pulldown list in my form with the first item listed to be a statich dummy tekst or label like "Select from list etc"
Thanks,

I created a normal recordset with Dreamweaver getting tea
m_id and team_names out of the database. Then i list the teamnames in a form list/
menu (dropdown) to show all the available teams. Again it shows me the last record from the
recordset as the first list item and i want a standard "select this" text or something default.
The form code below is generated by dreamweaver itself. I already tried to also put one static value in the value list property but i get the same result. To me it looks like the while loop is overriding whatever you put as static text.
<form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
<label for="list_teams">Teams:</label>
<select name="list_teams" id="list_teams">
    <?php
do {
?>
    <option value="<?php echo $row_Teams['team_id']?>"<?php if (!(strcmp($row_Teams['team_id'], $row_Teams['team_id']))) {echo "selected=\"selected\"";} ?>><?php echo $row_Teams['team_name']?></option>
    <?php
} while ($row_Teams = mysql_fetch_assoc($Teams));
$rows = mysql_num_rows($Teams);
if($rows > 0) {
      mysql_data_seek($Teams, 0);
   $row_Teams = mysql_fetch_assoc($Teams);
?>
</select>
</form>

Creating Dynamic Form based on table

I have to create 7-8 Form on a Table with Report.
Just wondering if there is a way, we can create this dynamically, so that I don't have to create this manually for each table.
Exp - I will have a table list, once I will select table_name from the LOV, then this will display the Report/Form region for that table...and so on...
thanks,
deepak

Hi Deepak,
So, basically, you want to be able to create an application without actually having to create it manually?
The nearest you could get, I think, is something like: Re: Creating Item dynamically and Automating tedious repetitive tasks / creating hundreds of different items (there may be other threads along these lines as well).
The principle is that you do pretty much what an Application Export/Import would do. I have to stress, though, that this is totally unsupported by Oracle and also most forum users, myself included, would not be able to help you!

SAP HCM P&F : FPM Form List UIBB Table Width...

Dear All,
I am stuck with strange issue. In SAP HCM Process & Forms with FPM Form, when we use UIBB List layout configuration, how can we set the width of the table?
During run time,table is displayed from left to right (column A-H) and all other form fields are from column A - G only, so the table looks very annoying.
Any suggestion how can I set the width of the list layout table in FPM Form ?
Chohan

Dear Sahir,
Thanks for reply as always.
My setting for List UIBB is :
and during run-time the list UIBB is shown like this, and I want its width equal to the above comment box' width.

Hi Joe
Thanks for this ...
phpMyEdit looks very good and very useful, and I'm playing
with it to see just
how configurable it proves to be.
It looks good for general admin tasks etc. bet whether it
proves suitable for
end user (public) use remains to be seen.
It is basically a class which generates the page code server
side at runtime
using the parameters you set in a calling script, but of
course you can grab
the source code for the generated page which may prove to
satisfy my initial
request.
Anyway ... from what I've seen so far I could recommend that
it is well worth
some time exploring the possibilities.

What is the maximum number of records in a dynamic parameter list of values?

In Crystal Reports Developer, I am attempting to add a dynamic parameter from a view. The view has 6773 total records. The field used for the parameter has 1819 distinct values, none of which are null.
I have the parameter set to allow multiple values, and I have added
field is equal to parameter
in the select expert.
However, when I refresh the report and tell it to prompt for new parameters, the list of values does not contain all the values, so about half of the records are dropped.
Is there a way I can guarantee that all 1819 (or an unlimited number) records show up in the List of Values?

Dynamic forms from 2 tables

Hi, (Sorry for the long post)
DB Table one contains 4 fields:
EventName
Venue
Price
Date
Form one is used by the owner to enter the data for an event into the DB Table One - there are several different events.
DB Table two contains 7 fields (4 of the fields to retrieve data from table one)
Name
contact
email
Event Name
Venue
Price
Date
Form two is for a person registering for one of the events entered into DB table one.
I set up a recordset called rsListEvents and then used the "Insert Record Form Wizard" to create form two with the following fields:
EventName
Venue
Price
eDate
which I set to defaults
{rsListEvents.EventName}
{rsListEvents.Venue}
{rsListEvents.Price}
{rsListEvents.eDate}
I have a page listing the events and when register for this event is clicked I was hoping the data from table one would be entered into form two and the user then fills in the rest manually where all the data is entered into DB table two.
Unfortunately even though the URL indicates that the correct information from table one should be entered into form two .php?id_event=2
The data from DB table one row id_event=1 is always displayed no matter what the record number is.
Can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong
Thanks
laurence

I am simplyfing this so I can get help on a basic level ( Mr basic)
Why does this not work?
I set up a Dynamic List using DB Table 1 and set the detailed page.
I set up a record set on the detailed page using the same table.
SELECT *
FROM addEvents
When I test I get the results from ID 1 no matter which one I choose. But when I test the RS I get both dummy entries 1 and 2
So I am missing something that needs to be appended to the URL.

Re-clarify--Urgent -- Can Apex create a dynamic menu list from table?

Hi All,
I am asked to investigate the possibility of using APEX to create a table data driven drop down menu, which means the menu list is dynimically generated from what is in the table. Eg. if there are 3 rows in the table, then the application will generate 3 list, if I add a row, then user will see 4 lists next time when the page is refreshed.
Such menu list will need to be a home page, which means it is the first page to be called in the URL. If such function needs to be implemented in PL/SQL procedure, can the procedure be called in Apex's URL?
The deadline is tomorrow and I have spent quite a bit of time but still have not had any clue. Could any one have such experience to point me a way to focus on please? Many thanks.

Visual Composer - dynamic entry list in a form

Hi everybody,
I have a question about Visual Composer (NW7.1).
My goal is it to create a dynamic form within VC iView. As data source I want to use (reads) values from a customizing table and displayed them in a drop down menu. After selecting a drop down value, all its elements shall be presented dynamic in a form. My question is if VC is supporting that technically or not. I have tried different approaches but it is not working.
Does anybody have some suggestions???
For example:
To show all customer data in a form, I set a reference in my customizing table that refers to my KNA1 table. If I want to show all suppliers data, I want to refer to my customizing with a reference to table LFA1. The form should display all the elements of KNA1 or LFA1. Is something like that technically possible?? HELP!
Thank you for your help in advance.

Hi Anja,
you understood me correct. However this was just an example.
1. Having some drop down list to select an entry.
--> in this drop down list there should be master data objects e.g. customers, suppliers, ...
2. Depending on the entry you like to display a form either filled with values of KNA1 table or LFA1 table.
--> If I choose customers all information should be displayed in the form. If I choose suppliers all supplier's information should be displayed in the form.
My task and my goal is it to use a customizing table in which I save SAP BI InfoObject. In my drop down menu I want to be able to select one of these object (e.g. customer master data). In the next step there should be a dynamic list for my form. That means if I change my object by selecting another drop down item - it will be automatically change the list entries from my new object
How can I do that?
Thank you so much.

PHP dynamic content for form list field on tabbed panel

I have been trying to use PHP dynamic content to populate a
form list field. Works fine on a regular page, but doesn't seem to
work (or works very erratically) if the form is on a tab of a Spry
tabbed panel. Erratically means (as I've observed) the values will
appear if the list field is the second on a tab but not the first.
Haven't tried three on a tab... Anyone know if this is supposed to
work?

Thank You !!! to both of you above.
Shant,
The scheme youv'e proposed makes sense and I had thought of the same before posting the question. I already did a little POC on it but then realised this works if I can use complete list of values of 1st Field to decide the value of 2nd and so forth. But I rather need to know which one among those was clicked. Moreover, my right side list is usually not null when page loads for the first time (bcoz Field name is a path exp).
Also, the real problem here is that, when I click on different values on the right side of multi-select(already selected values) of 1st Field, allowedValues and Derivation of 2nd should change. That GUI event is not capturable from whatever I've been able to read (onClick is not applicable for MultiSelect, and onChange doesn't serve my purpose, coz I need to know what value was clicked on).
The solution I thought and implemented was to take the right side of multi-select, into an extra (read redundant), single-select Field. And then have the 2nd multi-select depend on it via Derivation and allowedValues.
Having two redundant single-selects, isn't the most elegant solution but I can't think of anything better. Any thoughts ???
If I'm not really overlooking something MultiSelect class should have an extra Property exposed....

6300 Contacts List Maximum Number of Characters on...

When dispaying the contacts list if a contact entry is more than 12 characters then in the end there's 3 dots, even if there's enough space on the display for more characters. Would that be fixed in new firmwares? The current version 4.71 isn't patched for diplaying the maximum available number of characters.

You have to contact Nokia and tell them about it, they might even fix that if you are lucky.

Firefox checks on the server if the file has been modified if you use the back button.<br />
If the page was requested by sending post data to the server then Firefox sends that post data and asks for confirmation.<br />
You can try to use the tab history of the Back button skip sites that require sending post data.
You can also try if it works if you set to never check the server by setting the browser.cache.check_doc_frequency pref to 2.

MailTips for Dynamic Distribution Lists - wrong number of recipients

We use Exchange 2013 and Outlook 2013. We have a Dynamic Distribution List ([email protected]) configured on Exchange. It contains 75 users, I confirmed it using below cmdlets in Exchange management shell
$all = Get-DynamicDistributionGroup [email protected]
Get-Recipient -RecipientPreviewFilter $all.recipientfilter
When I use Outlook to create a new email to [email protected] there is a MailTip displayed mention about 87 of recipients, it should be 75 users.
Settings on our Exchange servers are as below:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-OrganizationConfig | fl *mailtip*
MailTipsAllTipsEnabled : True
MailTipsExternalRecipientsTipsEnabled : False
MailTipsGroupMetricsEnabled : True
MailTipsLargeAudienceThreshold : 25
MailTipsMailboxSourcedTipsEnabled : True
Any idea how to troubleshoot it?

In Active Directory attributes for this group are as below
msExchGroupMemberCount =
87msExchGroupExternalMemberCount
= 0
Regarding
files under %ExchangeInstallPath%GroupMetrics there is only cookie file modified yesterday and
it contains as below:
DC=domain,DC=com;12/28/2014 13:11:15;05/14/2013 20:02:24
Just created new dynamic distribution group with the same filter as for group all (for test purpose). There is no MailTip for this new group now. Is it possible to force \ speed up group metrics generation?

Remove scroll bars in dynamic form

Hi all,
I'm starting to kick myself every time I put a post here. Apologies and thank you for everyone's help - slowly but shortly I'll be one of the people answering the questions.
Really easy one (I think). A have a dynamic form, which updates a dynamic list. Is there a way to alter a text area in the dynamic form, so that it is a fixed area i.e. when you get to the end of the line/characater usage, the cursor goes down to the next line rather than creating a horizontal scroll bar and running forever into the distance. I have played around with Wrap options without luck, the css doesn;t seem to play much of a part as this is an actual text area in Dreamweaver as opposed to a CSS clipping in the list.
Thanks again,
Nathan

Perfect! Thank you Albert. Is it possible to add virtual wrap to a box in a dynamic list? As that is not presented in a normal html form'ish style way.....?
Hi Nathan,
as a Dynamic List displays pure text only, you´ll need to help yourself by formatting the displayed column using PHP. There are several ways to add "virtual" line breaks, and the most straightforward (though certainly not the most elegant) solution would be to apply the PHP function wordwrap which wraps a string to a given number of characters.
The following example will wrap the text after 40 chars, and the "wordwrap" function will - as always - have to replace ADDT´s default "KT_FormatForList" function:
<?php echo wordwrap($row_rsqueryname1['columnname'], 40, "<br />\n"); ?>
