Only render an Item if the Item is not null

I have a number of Items that have a Source Type of Database Column
and are populated using an Automatic Row Fetch. My problem is that
I want to only render them if they are not null. I have tried to use
the condition - Value of Item in Expression 1 is NOT NULL and setting
Expression 1 to &MY_ITEM. i.e. the name of the item currently being
processed. However, this is always null which leads me to believe that the value
is not set till it is rendering is complete.
I know that I can use an sql query to determine if the column is null. but this is
an additional round trip to the database for each of the columns I want to test.
Any Ideas?

Are you using "&MY_ITEM." in the expression 1 box? It should be just "MY_ITEM"

Hi, I am new to using iTunes. Just downloaded 50 shades of Grey only to find it is the BOOKS and not the music. How do I get a refund for this?

Hi, I am new to using iTunes. Just downloaded 50 shades of Grey only to find it is the BOOK and not the music. Incidentally, I find that entering this community is somewhat akin to trying to get into Fort Knox!! Too much officiousness.

There are no refunds.
You can try contacting itunes support and ask for an exception:

You do not need to "sign up" for downloading updates. Just run Software Update and let it access them directly thru the App Store.

Apex 4.1. cannot see the details of not null validations generated by apex

Hi there,
I have worked with APEX 3 quite a while. Now I move to new place, and they use APEX 4.
I am currently doing the Advanced Tutorials - Issues Tracker (written for 3.2 ) on an APEX 4.1.
I am quite impressed with a lot of enhanced features of APEX 4.
However, I think I got quite confused about the NOT NULL vaildations.
In the tutorials, they said when creating a form based on a tablle of which the columns have NOT NULL constraint, it will automatically generate NOT NULL validation.
But when I extend the validation section (in both Component View and Tree View), I cannot see any vaildation there.
So I go a head and create some NOT NULL validations for all NOT NULL fields.
Guess what, when I test the form, I got duplicate error messages.
I get these
6 errors have occurred
Project Name must have some value. (Go to error)
Start Date must have some value. (Go to error)
Target End Date must have some value. (Go to error)
Please provide project name. (Go to error)
Please provide project start date. (Go to error)
Please provide target end date. (Go to error)
My validation has error message "Please provide project name" while the automatic one has "Project Name must have some value".
The issue is I cannot find where the automatic validation is.
What if I want to customise the error message rather than just "#Label# must have some value".
Do any of you have any ideas why ?
I guess I must have chosen something wrong during page generation.
It could be quite simple but I don't know where to find the place that turn on/off the automatic not null validation, or at least customize these automatic error messages.
I currenly develop the application using workspace admin account.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Ann

I found it. Turn out to be the Settings, choose No for Required Value.

How to know if a file browser item is not null using javascript fucntion

Hi
 
I tried to use javascript for validation. I have a file browser item named P55_FILE_NAME and I would like to know if this item is null or not before submit.
 
I wrote this function : 
function validate_import(f_n){ 
 if (trim(document.getElementByName(f_n).src) == "") 
 { 
 alert ("File name is empty."); 
 document.getElementByName(f_n).focus(); 
 } 
 else{ 
 doSubmit('SUBMIT'); 
 } 
} 
When I press submit button I got an error, sounds like the src method does not exist in my input item. 
Then, I looked my source page an I found this : 
input type="file" name="p_t01" size="30"
 
there is know src method and the name is not P55_FILE_NAME and I don't want to use p_t01 that will change. 
 
I need your help. 
Benn

Hello,
The p_txx notation is the internal name the ApEx engine attaches to each page item. It starts with p_t01 (for the first item on page) and can end with p_t99 (hence, the max 99 items per page limit). You can see these names in your HTML source code.
The bug in the File Browse item (fixed in version 2.2) is that the ID of the item is the internal name instead of the item name. Hence, in order to use DOM, you need to use this internal notation.
If the File Browse item id is p_t01, you can null its content by using something like that (V2.0 notation) :
html_GetElement('p_t01').value = '';I'm using the same, and similar code, for manipulating this type of item with no problems.
Please document the use of this workaround, as when you'll upgrade your ApEx system, you will have to change this code back to the standard – item id equal item name.
(Please follow Scott's advise, and keep your logic connected issues on the same thread. It will get you more quick and accurate help).
Regards,
Arie.

Not validating against LOV if the field is not null

hi all,
i am using form6i.
i have two fields called p_code,p_doc.
p_code is optional and p_doc is mandatory. Both the fields is having LOV. Based on the p_code, p_doc should be filtered.
both fileds i have given validate_from_list true.
if user entered some values and processed after that without clearing the fields(p_doc) if user enters the data p_code the values in the LOV for p_doc is filtering(refreshing) but the value is not validate against the LOV.
that means
p_code p_doc
aa 123
bb 456
first time for the code 'aa' the p_doc value was 123. now again user entered bb so that in the lov p_doc 456 is present but in the item still 123 is there. If user press the ENTER or TAB the cursor is going to next field with out valudating the value in the p_doc(old value is 123 but it should replace by 456) but is not showing any error also.
if my requirement is not clear.please let me know.
Thanks..

Because the value in P_DOC is not getting validate. How about trying the below code in WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger of P_CODE
:P_DOC:=:P_DOC;-Ammad

Render Freeze/Crash at the end - program not responding

Hi guys
Im at my end with this problem and would appreciate a solution or explination to the problem im having.
when i render my project for final output it renders all frames and gets to the end on the progress bar but as soon as it seems to finish it freezes. So it does not seem to finalize. (program goes into "not responding") i have left it for up to 4 hours and still it simply hangs. this is happening with all projects and scenes regardless of the resolution or memory allocation.
im running CS4 with windows 7 and have version 9.0.3 of After Effects. im also using the latest optical flares plugin with all updates. my hardware is Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU [email protected] 2.66GHz
insalled RAM is 4GB with 3.24GB usable
32 bit operating system
Graphics card is NVIDIA Ge-Force GTX285 with 2GB of independant memory
Please help me find some path to solve this problem
thank you

With only 4 GB RAM, you shouldn't be using multiprocessing. If it's on, turn it off. If you're using Open GL to accelerate rendering, turn that off too: it rarely helps, and often hurts. Your problem might be solved that easily.
But since you're on AE 9, it the footage you use could also be the problem. Most commonly it would be footage from XDCams, HDV cameras and DSLRs. AE 10 solved the problem, but that won't help you right now. However, a reply I used to give all the time on the Creative COW may still still apply:
Dave's Stock Answer #1:
If the footage you imported into AE is any kind of the following -- footage in an HDV acquisition codec, MPEG1, MPEG2, AVCHD, mp4, mts, m2t, H.261 or H.264 -- you need to convert it to a different codec.
These kinds of footage use temporal, or interframe compression. They have keyframes at regular intervals, containing complete frame information. However, the frames in between do NOT have complete information. Interframe codecs toss out duplicated information.
In order to maintain peak rendering efficiency, AE needs complete information for each and every frame. But because these kinds of footage contain only partial information, AE freaks out, resulting in a wide variety of problems.
I'm a Mac guy, so I like to convert to Quicktime movies in the Animation or PNG codecs; both are lossless. I'll use Apple's Compressor, Adobe Media Encoder or Quicktime Pro to do it.

How can I only have my iphoto on the cloud and not in my HD?

I ran out of HD on my Macbook Air. I want to have my photos only on iCloud. How can I do it?

I want to have my photos only on iCloud. How can I do it?
You can upload to iCloud Photo Library using the Photos.app at web interface at Www.icloud.com .
But if you do that, you cannot use the Photos for Mac app with iCloud Photo Library.
If you want to use the Photos for Mac app with iCloud, your Mac will store at least lightweight smaller versions of your iCloud photos on the Mac,so you can browse the photos, if no internet is available.

I can only find a film on the US store, not UK why is this?

I have searched for several films (including lord of the rings) but I can only find them on the US store? Why aren't they available on the UK store?

Apple TV has HDMI output so you would need a convertor for an HDMI cable to a USB port, I have not seen this type so search availability first. Of course you would lose quality. An HD TV should have an HDMI Port, if you cannot find one then that is a problem, if it is you don't have a free one you can get an HDMI splitter to put two inputs to the same port and still get HD quality.

Audio only render time takes forever??? not usually

Usually the rendering of a clip audio takes moments, then whereever I move it on the timeline it doesnt require re- rendering time. but today thats not the case. Long render time, and if I move the clip, I must re- render it again??? help! I bought 2 more gigs of ram. It also gave me a general error, and an "out of memory" once. Maybe its just a setting hopefully. tried it both on a version of 4.1 and HD 4.5 same issue. Also cant capture straight from my camera without it stuttering, and then audio going out of sync.

Hi, FCP 4.5 is not compatible with OS 10.4.9 -- you will need to downgrade to 10.4.8 or lower (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=305284)
Also, are you sure the movie format your rendering is a quicktime file and not .dv/avi/etc. I've run into those same errors when working with other formats that are not native quicktime.
