Opening a popup from custom button in a Form

I have a requirement to open a popup from a custom button of a portal form and once the value is selected from the popup the control should return to the main form with the value selected and set it to some display only field in that same form. It can be done thru' popup of a field directly but how can I do this thru'a button ?.
Help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Works for me if I middle-click a bookmark on the Bookmarks Toolbar and browser.tabs.loadBookmarksInBackground is set to true.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Custom RH9 WebHelp skin: Problem opening PDF file from custom button

Hi, I've been troubleshooting and checking forums trying to figure out how to get a PDF file to open from a custom button on my WebHelp skin. It worked for me once upon a time, but I changed something in the document and tried to upload the new version and it has errored out ever since.
I want to have the ability to open the PDF in a new window from the custom button (called 'Printable PDF' on my skin), so I am using the following custom JavaScript in the 'Click On' field of the the custom button's components: window.open('print_test.pdf','printWindow','menubar=0,resizable=0,width=900,height=500,scr ollbars=1'); I know the script is good because I have the same script for the Support custom button and it works great. The only difference between those scripts is the Support script calls an .html file instead of a PDF and the window names says 'supportWindow' instead of 'printWindow'.
I've tried deleting and recreating the custom button, changing the JavaScript with a developer's help, generating the help on another machine thinking it was a glitch with my browser (using IE8) or RoboHelp license, and combing the help files numerous times. I've also ensured that the PDF file is stored in the skin and project folders along with the other project files/folders. I've used previous versions of RoboHelp and had no problems attaching a Word document and PDF, so I'm wondering if this is a bug in RH9?? Especially since it worked for me initially. Any assistance and/or fresh ideas are welcomed! Thank you!

Hello again
Happy I was able to help.
MOTW is only present and affects things when you are running content off your local C drive. It's value is in preventing that Yellow Information Bar and all that from appearing when you are using IE. Once you publish content to a server and access it that way you are in a different security zone and MOTW has no influence either way. So there would be no adantage to enabling it before publishing to a server. The only reason you might want to consider enabling it would be if you were copying the WebHelp to everyone's hard drive and having them run it from their hard drives.
Make sense?
Hope so... Rick

Error while opening a popup from managed bean

Hi,
I am trying to open a popup from bean, after another popup is closed. When I open the second popup either through ActionListener(on first popup button) or DialogListener(on first popup), I am getting the below error on browser status bar(!); and the second popup doesn't open. There is no error in the log.
*'AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent(...)' is null or not an object.*
Although the popup id is there on the jspx page.
<af:popup id="confirmationStatus" binding="#{MyBean1.confirmationStatus}">
<af:dialog cancelVisible="false"
closeIconVisible="false" binding="#{MyBean1.d2}"
title="Appointment Confirmation Status">
<af:outputText value="Appointment is successfully confirmed"/>
</af:dialog>
</af:popup>
public void confirmAppointment_dialogListener(DialogEvent dialogEvent) {
FacesContext context = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
ExtendedRenderKitService service = Service.getRenderKitService(context, ExtendedRenderKitService.class);
String popupId = "confirmationStatus";
service.addScript(context,"AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent('" + popupId + "').show();");
Please tell me why my popup is not getting open from the managed bean and I am getting an error in below line.
service.addScript(context,"AdfPage.PAGE.findComponent('" + popupId + "').show();");

To find out the right address of a component related to an other component, open your page select the component you want to add a partial trigger, go to the partial trigger property, select the down arrow at the right end and select 'Edit'. Now look for the popup in the component tree shown on the left side. When you have found the popup shuffle it the the selected side and click OK. The string you see in the field is the full address of the popup related to he component you've selected. Try the string you see there in your bean code. Remove the string from the partial trigger property, it's just to get the correct path.
One other thing to check is that your popup has the ClientComponent property set to true.
Next thing to try, is to use AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId(...)

Hari,
Since you're using a non-public build of JDeveloper, you should be using a non-public forum.

Can't open an Executable From Click Button

Hi, Everyone!
I've broken a learning module into several small project
files to match the client's standards. I've set up click buttons
within each file to open each of the published movies for the
module. Everything works as expected.
Now I need to create a standalone course using the same
files. I've published each file as a Standalone executable. I've
modified the open action on the click buttons to "Open URL or File"
and selected the appropriate .exe file as the target. I've
republished the files with the new click action. When I open an
executable and click a button to open another executable, I get an
error message stating that the page cannot be displayed.
What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Bob Browne

Hi Bob
For starters, did you try simply exporting all related files
as .EXE files and test that way before making any changes? If so,
what were your results? I've seen before where once Captivate was
successfully linking to another movie, simply changing from .SWF to
.EXE format just worked.
Just a thought... Rick

Conditional display of "Custom" Buttons in Portal Forms

Could someone tell me if the following is possible, and briefly explain the steps to a beginner in Portal (but reasonably familiar with PL/SQL):
Problem - How to display "Custom Buttons" conditionally
Example -
a) Assume you have a certain record ("patient_address"). The hospital requires that every patient address be authorized before submitting records to health insurance. However, authorized records should not be authorized again.
b) Also assume that the "patient_address" table has a column "authorized" (which can contain Y or N)
* The requirement is to show an "Authorize" button whenever the record being viewed has the "authorized" column as "N" only
* If possible, this can be further improved by obtaining whether the person viewing the information has permission to authorize, but this can be taken as a next step
Approaches -
1. If possible, achieve this in Portal Forms
2. (worst case) - show the button, but show a message if it is pressed and the action does not apply
Somehow, it seems as though Portal Forms is not suitable (or does not have the documentation readily accessible) of how to do specific, custom, real world forms design as in this example - could someone please elaborate
Also, would this be better done by using one of the following in combination with Portal:
- HTT (will this be supported, given that it is an Oracle internal technology)
- PHP (is this even compatible with Portal?)
null

Hi,
Conditional display/hide of custom buttons is not yet supported in Portal.
However, if you are willing to modify the generated form package this could be done.
Each form has a procedure called row_function which conditionally hides Insert/Update buttons depending on the mode. By default all elements of a form are visible, then row_function modifies the "visibility" property to hide that element.
for example, this is a fragment of row_function code which hides the Insert button in update mode:
"_form_state" := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => "_block",
p_attribute_name => '_FORM_STATE');
if "_form_state" = 'UPDATE_AND_DELETE' then
"_idx" := get_index('INSERT_TOP');
p_form.items("_idx").visible := 'N';
end if;
You can add any additional code to check form's session storage/custom package variable/function whatever is more suitable in your case.
Then you just set visible to 'N'.
"_idx" := get_index('MY_CUSTOM_BUTTON');
p_form.items("_idx").visible := 'N';
Of course the biggest drawback of this is every time you edit your form you will loose your change and must edit the package manually. To minimize the effect you can create a custom package/procedure with type signature matching that of row_function and place your code there, so you will need to add only one line of code to the row_function.
Hope this will help to resolve the problem, I don't know the status/plans for HTT/PHP support in Portal.
Thanks,
Dmitry

Custom Buttons in XML Forms

Hi Experts,
Is there a possibility to create a custom button like when i click the button mail should be sent to concerned person along with form.
and how to create print button?
Edited by: EPADMIN on Feb 7, 2012 8:10 AM

To print or send email you can use Javascript in your form. In the show form insert a Label.
(--> in the code replace REF by HREF --> if I put HREF in my post it doesn't work...?)
To print insert
<A REF="
javascript:
window.print()">Click to Print This Page</A>
in the Caption and set property Display HTML to yes.
The same to send mail but put
<A REF="
mailto:yourmailaddress?suject=Support request">
Click to mail</A>
to create a mail to [yourmailaddress] with subject "Support request".
(check mailto syntax for further options).

Opening a URL from a button within a Web Template

Hi All,
I have a requirement to provide report specific help from within a standard web template. Assuming that I had a list of help URLs for each report and an intermediary way to redirect to those URL based upon a unique id such as the reports technical name, is it possible to create a generic button from within a web template that would dynamically create a URL based on the reports technical name? I.e., http://www.example.com/page.html?ZGTRPTNME
To date I have only used the Action "Command via Command Wizard" from within the parameters of the button Web Item. However, I did notice that a Script Function was provided. Has any used this functionality and is it possible to create a URL with the technical name of the report?

Rekesh,
I had a look at the document you linked however what I need to find out is how I can place the technical name (dynamically) within the web template URL (i.e., this needs to work for multiple projects over many reports that all use the same global web template).
It's actually very easy opening a new window via javascript however finding the varible for the report technical name remains unclear. At present I am looking at command URL's. The only other option is that I use a java script substring command to pull the report technical name from the URL (although this not as clean as using command URL's).
EDIT: Found this document: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/43/ef9a6c13f2025be10000000a1553f7/content.htm
Appears that the command: sapbi_page.GetMainTemplateName(); will give me the technical name of the webtemplate although I'm finding it hard to find the command for getting the technical name of the current report.

Opening an EXE from a Button

Hi everyone,
Hope someone can help me, i'm having major difficulties. I'm using Adobe Flash Professional CS3 and I'm trying to create a button to open a .exe file. I have been going roudn in circles and nothing seems to work for me at all.
I have created my button and gave it an instance name, if someone can talk me throgh the procedure I would be very much obliged.
Many Thanks
Paul

I belive that is for a security reasons.
This is a help for fscommand.
To use fscommand() to send a message to Flash Player, you must use predefined commands and parameters. The following table shows the values that you can specify for the fscommand() function's command and args parameters. These values control SWF files that are playing in Flash Player, including projectors. (A projector is a SWF file saved in a format that can run as a stand-alone application—that is, without Flash Player.)
Command
Parameter (args)
Purpose
quit
None
Closes the projector.
fullscreen
true or false
Specifying true sets Flash Player to full-screen mode. Specifying false returns the player to normal menu view.
allowscale
true or false
Specifying false sets the player so that the SWF file is always drawn at its original size and never scaled. Specifying true forces the SWF file to scale to 100% of the player.
showmenu
true or false
Specifying true enables the full set of context menu items. Specifying false hides all of the context menu items except About Flash Player and Settings.
exec
Path to application
Executes an application from within the projector.
trapallkeys
true or false
Specifying true sends all key events, including accelerator keys, to the onClipEvent(keyDown/keyUp) handler in Flash Player.
Not all of the commands listed in the table are available in all applications:
None of the commands are available in web players.
All of the commands are available in stand-alone applications, such as projectors.
Only allowscale and exec are available in test-movie players.
The exec command can contain only the characters A-Z, a-z, 0-9, period (.), and underscore (_). The exec command runs in the subdirectory fscommand only. In other words, if you use the exec command to call an application, the application must reside in a subdirectory named fscommand. The exec command works only from within a Flash projector file.

On a jsp i need to provide a hyperlink which should open a new window but not the internet explorer window but the windows explorer window of some remote windows machine. How can this be done. Can anybody suggest?You want to execute the Windows Explorer program on somebody's computer from within the browser? Running executables from the browser is a security hazard that the browser tries very hard to prevent. You can't do it without getting the user to install some software into their browser where they agree, in advance, that they will let your site do insecure things.
In this case most likely an ActiveX component would be the best bet.

Opening a PDF from flash button

Hi guys,
I have not done this for a while and the old source files I got do not seem to work anymore in flash pro cs5. In the past I used ZINC and flash and these code lines:
the link to the PDF is loaded from an XML: " ... url="data\\presentations\\EN_Vienna_Opening_Session\\EN_JShepherd_Past&Present.pdf" ... "
the link is then stored in a flash variabl: " ... tPath = contentItems[0].childNodes[2].childNodes[3].attributes.url; ... "
the PDF is then opened with ZINC with: " ... mdm.System.exec(mdm.Application.path+tPath); ... "
I know this is not forum to support ZINC, but is there any other way of opening PDF files (so they open Acrobat outside FLash)?
Thanks,
Nik C

Have you already tried adding

Maybe it solves the problem, in case IE is a little bit picky. But I really don't know.

Calling a popup from FPM button

Hi All,
The scenario is from SRM (7.0).
1. I click on a button in the FPM Identification Region lets say - Create PO.
2. When I click on the button Create PO, it creates a PO in the back ground and gives me a confirmation pop up saying that the PO is created.
Now my requirement is such that I need to populate the header/ Payment terms texts in the PO.
As the button being clicked is in FPM frame work, how do I call a pop up and pass the texts in to the PO.
Best Regards,
Basha

I hope someone has an answer to this. I am looking for a similar solution. I do know the Web Dynpro Component for that screen is FPM_OIF_COMPONENT, the view is CNR_VIEW, the "Create Purchase Order" button is OTHER_FUNCTIONS_22 and the method ONACTIONBUTTON_PRESSED controls all of the other buttons (ie. Print Preview, Close, etc.). However, I can't find what happens when the Create PO button is pushed.
Edited to Add: The Web Dynpro info only applies to the RFx Response screen. Probably not what you are looking at.
