Page Alias reference

Is there a way to retrieve/reference the page alias of a page.
It would be nice to to have a substitution variable like APP_PAGE_ALIAS.

Hi there
I'm not sure if I'm having the same problem or if mine is more easily solved.
What I wanted to do was to have a report template with the rows changing color as the mouse went over them and then showing the clicked row in a different color. I found an example that did just that and it worked really well until I wanted to use this report template on a different page. Then I found out that the Column Template had to be hardcoded in the template with the name of a particular item, like so:
Column Template 1
<td style.....
Column Template Condition
Use based on PL/SQL Expression
'#ROW_ID#' = :P10_ROW_ID
I have loads and loads of clickable reports and I wanted to have them all like the one on page 10 but I don't want to make one report template for each page. Or is that the only possible way? Basically what I would need would be to define the Column Template 1 and it's condition in the report itself and not the template, with maybe the definition in the report overriding the template if present. I guess it wouldn't help if I had access to the page number in the Column Template condition here...
Thanks,
Gísli

Error ERR-1412 Unable to resolve page alias

hi,
i'm able to get the page by specifying the application id. but unable to get it by using the page alias(ie.,application name). What could be the problem....

Please show details like the URL you are using and all relevant details about your application and page. The page alias is not the same as the application name. Applications have both a name and an alias as does a page. You might be using the application name or the application alias instead of the page alias.

APEX4 possible bug: ERR-1412 Unable to resolve page alias

Hi,
when I try to start application using builder from a page that requires authentication I get the following error after successful authentication:
Error ERR-1412 Unable to resolve page alias (f?p=107|13|2569050001543698|||||). Clicking OK under error displays the target page successfully.
This happens in development environment only. No errors when starting application by direct URL from end user point of view.
The login process use the following code:
v_flow_page := :APP_ID||':'||nvl(:FSP_AFTER_LOGIN_URL,1);
wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.post_login(
P_UNAME => :P101_USERNAME,
P_PASSWORD => :P101_PASSWORD,
P_SESSION_ID => v('APP_SESSION'),
P_FLOW_PAGE => v_flow_page
Thanks.

Page Alias

Several best practice articles refer to using page aliases rather than page numbers for navigation. Obviously, using mnemonic names rather than arbitrary page numbers makes creating branches easier since the names are easier to remember. The articles also mention preserving navigation integrity in case the pages in the application are renumbered (although I don't know how or why you would do this). However there seem to be several places in APEX where page aliases cannot be used (e.g. clear cache in branches, current for pages in tabs) and page numbers must be used instead. Doesn't this negate the renumbering argument and limit the usefulness of the page aliases. If you are constructing a branch that needs to clear the cache on the target page you still need to know the page number of the target. Furthermore if you use the page alias for the target and the page number for the clear cache there is a greater possibility that you could make an error and they would not be in sync. It seems that you should be able to use page aliasies anywhere you use page numbers. Am I missing something?

I've wondered the same thing. I think page aliases should be allowable (and encouraged) anywhere a page ID is accepted.

Dynamic page number references?

Is there a way to have page number references dynamic, so that they automatically update if the pagination of a publication changes?
I've read about generating a dynamic table of contents, so I will be doing that certainly.
But what about page references that fall outside the TOC? For example, let's say there's a parenthetical reference in the text of a publication that says something like "see page 45 for details on XYZ." Can the page number here be somehow linked to its referent? Is there some way to tag an element (a heading, for example, or a text selection, or a frame containing a graphic) and then have a page number reference linked to that tag?
Sort of like how anchors work on the web.
Thanks.

Great, thanks.
p.s. I just did a search of the forum for "cross references" and the only result I got was this thread! Odd.
I notice from the InDesign help documentation that cross references seem to be for indexing. Not sure if that applies to my situation--for example, if you mention a particular sidebar later on in the text and want to refer the reader back to that sidebar...how would you reference the sidebar dynamically so when it changes location, the page number reference changes accordingly?

URL checksum when using page alias

Hello to all.
I'm using Apex v4.1.1.00.23, and I'm having a problem when using page aliases in URLs.
When creating a list with links to Apex pages, if I use a page alias, then no checksum is generated. I tried this using the "classic" way to create list entries (i.e. "Create list entry" and entering desired values in the "Target" region), and also using a dynamic list and an SQL query.
For example:
SELECT 1
,'First page'
,apex_util.prepare_url( 'f?p=&APP_ALIAS.:1:&APP_SESSION.::NO:1::', p_checksum_type => 'SESSION')
FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 1
,'Second page'
,apex_util.prepare_url( 'f?p=&APP_ALIAS.:second_page:&APP_SESSION.::NO:second_page::', p_checksum_type => 'SESSION')
FROM DUAL
For the second link, I always get "Session State Protection Violation", but the first one works fine.
Both pages have the "Page Access Protection" set to "Arguments Must Have Checksum".
I tried to set up an example on apex.oracle.com, but it seems that in v4.2 this problem is fixed :)
So, is there any way to use page aliases while session state protection is active?
Thank you for any help that may come by,
best regards.

Skillbuilders modal page item references

I have built an application that uses the Skillbuilders modal page - in this page there are two items that have Skillbuilders super lov (2.0.2) plug-in. The Sql statement for the second item, Task, includes a reference to the first item (Project), as :P35_PROJECT. However the lookup doesn't synchronise unless I close the modal page after the project field has been populated, then re-open it; then the synchronisation of the Task field works. Without close/open the Task lov does not synchronise on the Project and returns all values.
Lov sql:
select pt.task_number "Task Number", pt.task_name "Task Name"
FROM PA_TASKS pt, PA_PROJECTS_ALL pja
where pja.project_id=pt.project_id
and pja.segment1=:P35_PROJECT
order by 1
I tried a dynamic action which fired when the value of item 35_PROJECT was changed but this does not work.
Thanks for any assistance, Dave Barber

Dave,
Go to edit the child item. In the List of Values region, enter the name of the parent item in the Cascading LOV Parent Items field.
Let me know if this works.
Regards,
Dan

My master pages have disappeared from the View menu in Frame Maker and I can't get to them. View does show body pages and reference pages.

Master pages went missing from my FrameMaker 12 setup about 4 days ago. I can see body and references pages. I have tried reinstalling. The master pages are missing from all of my FrameMaker documents, absolutely all of them. I have done two new installations of FM 12, no fix.

Does the old shortcut still work? [Esc, v, M plus its close kin Esc, v, R for Reference pages and Esc, v, B for Body pages – all case-sensitive]
Also, does "missing" mean you select View master pages and get a blank screen? while double-checking the view shortcuts, I discovered this can be replicated by turning off borders [Esc, v, b] in Master page view … if you happen to be using a Master page layout with no header or footer. But I have also, occasionally, ended up with blank master pages even when they should have had content. It's a mystery.

Error ERR-1412 Unable to resolve page alias (State Bank Of Indore).

i have created a select list with branch to page .When i clicked on this list it gives this error
reply

pages in htmldb can be aliased with alphanumeric identifiers. this way you can use those aliases instead of the page names when calling them. your error message means that you asked htmldb to serve up a page with an alias of "State Bank Of Indore" when a page with such an alias didn't exist (page aliases have to be valid oracle alphanumeric identifiers, so htmldb wouldn't have let you create an alias with spaces in it like "State Bank Of Indore", anyhow). to me this suggests you have an improperly defined branch. i'd check that branch to make sure your page is correctly specified there.
hope this helps,
raj

Error ERR-1412 Unable to resolve page alias (RUN_PAGE)

Just started to get this error on the hosted environment when I click on the Run icon on Page Definition page in App Builder, link is
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=BUILDER:RUN_PAGE
Anything going on?
Thanks

This happens when someone imports a copy of the Builder into their workspace and doesn't change the alias from 'BUILDER'. This happened today. I fixed it. It's a bug that will be fixed in 2.2.

Page Alias ignored in branch to url

Apex 4.1
Oracle 10Gex
Theme: BlueGray13
I am trying to replace all app and page numbers with alias so that the url doesn't reflect numeric detail.
No problem in using app alias, however several areas do require the page number and won't accept an alias. (Tabs for one...)
Specific issue is a branch withing the same app, after processing.
Originally was a branch to a page in the same app. Passing variables and values in the URL.
Changed the branch to a branch to URL; including the variables and values.
First use, functionally this worked - data gets saved, etc.
However, even though the branch does redirect to the correct page, the page number is still reflected in the url.
When going back into the branch, you see that the branch has reverted back to a 'branch to page'.... What happened?
Does the Branch to URL only work from app to app - never WITHIN an app?
Thanks,
Rich

Figured it out.
In order to eliminate the page number and app number in a 'redirect to URL' , don't keep the '&APP_ID.' or page number -
You can either use '&APP_ALIAS'. or the alias you set on the page definition... and for the page number use the alias set on the page definition.
Going back and re-editing the branch (or redirect after action) - it no longer shows that it reverted to 'Redirect to Page'... and keeps the redirect as type URL - just as you manually created it.
So live and learn.

Can internal page number references be tracked between versions?

I'm laying out a large reference publication that has dozens and dozens of references to internal page numbers, such as "For more information, please see illustration on Page 56", but these references get scrambled with every new edition. Is there a way to track these references so that they automatically update as the content reflows from version to version?

Yes, but it's... funky.
I use cross-references in InDesign documents, all the time. It's exactly what you're looking for; you put a Hyperlink Destination on whatever it is you need to refer to. You can choose a Page, an URL, or a Text Anchor. I always choose a Text Anchor, and if I need to refer to an illustration I always group the illustration with a caption and put the text anchor in the caption.
I do this because InDesign's method for handling hyperlink destination is, once again, funky. And when I use this word I do not mean "a good beat" but "it smells bad." Because summoning a list of hypyerlink destinations just gets you a list - you can't Go To Page or whatever, and if you chose a unique name for a Page Hyperlink Destination it's pretty much up to you to keep track of it, InDesign won't help you. If you choose Text Anchor you can actually see it in the text. (Assuming you have Type -> Show Hidden Characters turned on.)
Once you've set up your Hyperlink Destinations, you can Insert a Cross-Reference. It is a formattable variable that you can point to any Hyperlink Destination.
Unfortunately, cross-references really only work well when they're within a single file. Cross-file cross-references (for example, from one InDesign chapter file to a different chapter file) are a major performance hit, and make ID basically unusable.
So yes, there's a way, but it's not great. If you need a method that is great I'd suggest looking into DTP Tools' Cross-References Pro plugin for InDesign. I'm not related in any way to DTP Tools, I'm not even a customer myself, but 100% of the people who have bought the plugin on my recco have been very, very pleased with its performance.

Page Alias in Tab?

Hi,
I have several applications which all have to run on more than one server. To avoid problems when exporting and importing these applications from one server to another, I normally use the Page Aliases to branch to pages.
Now, I wanted to replace the page numbers by Aliases in the Tabs which seems to be impossible... Was there some error or do I necessarily have to use page numbers in Tabs?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Amy

Page numbers only at this time, sorry.
