Page navigation - current page loss

Hi All,
I have a page navigation logic block atm.
I'm outputting a maximum of 6 records per page (videos). I have set up startrow and endrow. When the user clicks next page and selects a video to play it reverts back to the first page (does play the right video though).
Heres the page:
http://www.ukagriculture.com/multimedia/farming_pictures.cfm?strVidSubCategory=Forage%20cr ops&strClient_Name_UKA=&strVidCategory=Videos&multimedia=no
query code:
<CFQUERY NAME="GetVids" DATASOURCE="">
SELECT * FROM videos_table WHERE strVidSubCategory = '#URL.strVidSubCategory#'
ORDER BY strOrder_id
</CFQUERY>
<CFIF #ParameterExists(StartRow)# IS "No">
  <CFSET StartRow = 1>
  <CFELSE>
  <CFSET StartRow = (StartRow + 6)>
</CFIF>
<CFSet EndRow = StartRow + 5>
<CFIf EndRow GT GetVids.RecordCount>
    <CFSet EndRow = GetVids.RecordCount>
</CFIf>
output navigation code:
<cfoutput query="GetVids" STARTROW=#StartRow# MAXROWS=6>
<CFIF LEN(strDescription) gt 40>
  <CFSET desctrunc = LEFT(strDescription,40)>
  <cfelse>
  <CFSET desctrunc = strDescription>
</CFIF>
<div id="vidthumb1">
<a href="farming_pictures.cfm?strVidSubCategory=#URLEncodedFormat(strVidSubCategory)#&strCli ent_Name_UKA=#URLEncodedFormat(strClient_Name_UKA)#&strVidCategory=#strVidCategory#&multim edia=no&strFlashVideo=#strFlashVideo#"><img src="mm_videos/#strImage#" alt="" width="100" height="90" class="handcursor" border="0">
</a>
<br />
  <span class="thumbtext">#desctrunc#</span></div>
</cfoutput>
<cfoutput>
<p align="center">Displaying video<cfif GetVids.RecordCount EQ '1'><cfelse>s</cfif> #StartRow# to #EndRow# <cfif (StartRow + 5) LT GetVids.RecordCount><a href="farming_pictures.cfm?StartRow=#StartRow#&strVidSubCategory=#URLEncodedFormat(strVid SubCategory)#&strClient_Name_UKA=#URLEncodedFormat(strClient_Name_UKA)#&strVidCategory=#st rVidCategory#&multimedia=no">next page>></a></p></cfif>
</cfoutput>
I would like to retain the current page the user is on when they select a video from the 2nd/3rd/4th pages etc..
TIA
Trevor

Trevor,
Would incorporating the URL key/value pair for StartRow=#StartRow#& to the first link in your output do the trick?

  • Page loss at the click of add new button in advanced table

    Have created an advanced table and when I click on the add row button for the first time it results in page loss issue. But if I query and then click on the button it works fine.
    AM code:
    public void initialize()
    OAViewObject vo = (OAViewObject)getXxutlDomainsVO();
    if (vo.getFetchedRowCount() == 0)
    vo.setMaxFetchSize(0);
    public void createDomainSetupData()
    OAViewObject vo = (OAViewObject)getXxutlDomainsVO();
    if (vo.getFetchedRowCount() == 0)
    vo.setMaxFetchSize(0);
    Row row = vo.createRow(); vo.insertRow(row);
    row.setNewRowState(Row.STATUS_INITIALIZED);
    CO:
    public void processRequest(OAPageContext pageContext, OAWebBean webBean)
    super.processRequest(pageContext, webBean);

    && ADD_ROWS_EVENT.equals(pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM)))
    domainSetupAM.invokeMethod("createDomainSetupData", null);
    Please help

    Hi,
    There are two ways to do it.
    1. Use create method of entity object, create method fires whenever you creates new row.
    2. Handle the event raised by addanotherrow button and write logic there to initialize contactid as you are getting contactid from pageContext so I will suggest you to use this method.
    if (tableBean.getName().equals(pageContext.getParameter(SOURCE_PARAM)))
    && ADD_ROWS_EVENT.equals(pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM)))
    //write your logic here to default the contact id
    Hope this will help.

  • Bug: package hierarchy is displayed 'flat' in Jdeveloper navigator

    Hi,
    suppose I have the following package (in accordance with java's guidelines for package naming):
    package nl.ibuildings.myapp.submodule;
    If I add a UML Class Diagram to submodule, it's displayed correctly in the navigator:
    - nl
    - ibuildings
    - myapp
    + submodule
    But in the 'other' items in the navigator (where the object entities appear) the hierarchy is wrong:
    + nl (with no contents other then a bc4j.xcfg and a nl.xml file)
    + nl.ibuildings (same 2 files)
    + nl.ibuildings.myapp
    + nl.ibuildings.myapp.submodule
    Why isn't this structure in treeform?
    Greetings,
    Ivo

    Hi,
    Whether or not packages are shown hierarchically is an option in the navigator. Select the "Sources" node (or any node below it and use the navigator toolbar:
    The modelers section of the navigator currently does not support all the modes that the main part of the navigator does. This is being tracked as an ER.
    Thanks,

  • Advice on content area layout & subfolders

    Hi all!
    We're just starting to use content areas for real document management, and I was hoping someone could offer some advice on the layout of one or more of these content areas.
    I'm trying to build a typical corporate "Document Library". Parts of the library will be available to "Public" corporate users (corporate users who have not logged on to the app yet), other parts will be available to all authenticated users, and other parts will be available to only certain groups. (Relatively easy so far...)
    So far I have these all in a single content area called DOCLIB, with two folders: PUBLIC and CORPORATE. (Ultimately there will be a third high-level group for FRANCHISE users -- non-corporate stores.) PUBLIC is accessible to public users; DOCLIB itself and DOCLIB/CORPORATE are accessible to AUTHENTICATED_USERS. PUBLIC contains subfolders such as NEWS, HELP, FAQS, HRDOCS ("public" HR docs), PRESS_RELEASES, etc. CORPORATE contains subfolders such as NEWS, PLANNERS, IT_DOCS, HRDOCS ("logged on only" HR docs), etc.
    A few questions:
    1. Does it make sense to break out the PUBLIC and CORPORATE folders at the very top level, or are do people generally put the private folders as subfolders of the corresponding public ones? (Ideally I'd rather put these both into the same folder and simply show more documents once the user logs on, but I couldn't get this working properly.)
    2. I currently have the "DocLib" content area showing on the main portal page, defaulting to the PUBLIC folder. However, once the users log in, I'd like to switch the focus to the root DOCLIB folder instead of the PUBLIC subfolder. As it runs now, the focus remains on the PUBLIC folder, and the user must click on the folder path to move to the root folder. Is there any way around this short of creating two different tabs, one for public users and the other for logged-on users? (Once they log on now I show an additional 3-6 tabs on that page.)
    3. I'd like to show certain folders (such as "News/System News" and "News/Company News" in their own portlets (in addition to inside the overall Document Library portlet). Unfortunately, once the user logs in, the folder path is displayed, and the user can navigate to parent folders while inside this portlet. (This will horribly confuse some of our users...) I know I can turn off the folder path for this folder, but then it is also gone when this folder is displayed inside the overall "Document Library" portlet (where I'd like to still show the folder path). Is there any way around this?
    4. Is there any straightforward way to display the same document in more than one folder? If I use perspectives, it looks like I then give up control over how the page gets formatted, if I use a Folder Link, the folder opens up in its own page instead of inside the portal area, and if I use a URL to point the "second" copy back to the first, this will be difficult for later content managers to maintain. Am I missing another easy way to do this?
    I know how to do all this via the PDK, but we're trying to use as much of the built-in content-management tools as possible instead of building more PDK-based code.
    btw: We are still in Portal 3.0.8, although we're moving to 3.0.9 as soon as possible.
    Sorry for the length of the post, but any insight anyone could offer would be greatly appreciated!
    - Bill

    Hi All
    We are using release 2, and we are looking into using a page template containing a JSP portlet for a consistent navigation bar/header. What do you think of this approach?
    Regards
    Harry
    Jon,
    There are a variety of ways to do this:
    One way is to modify the page that the content area is on to contain the portlets that you would like on your page. Those portlets would contain your banners, links, logos, etc. Note that the page under a content area can not contain tabs.
    Another way to do this is to create separate pages and link to those pages from your navigation bar manually.
    Note that in release 2 of Oracle9iAS Portal we have combined the content area and page concepts so that there is no more 'drill out of the portal page' loss of context, so you could use Oracle9i Application Release 2 also.

  • Table of Contents webpart issue

    Hi Everyone,
    I have added a Table of contents webpart to the page(to display all lists, libraries & sub sites) and I have given the desired site url & set  "No.of levels to 3". But I am unable to see any list, library or subsites in my webpart.(Also
    I am unable to see the checkboxes "Show pages", "Show hidden sites etc.,) Please refer below screenshot
    Can any one help me what might be the issue?
    Regards,
    Kumar.

    Hi Kumar,
    Table of Contents WebPart display site contents navigation according to navigation. From the screenshot you provided, are you using Managed navigation currently? In my environment, if I use Managed navigation and insert Table of Contents WebPart, the setting
    of WebPart displays as yours.
    Please go to site settings > Look and Feel > Navigation, switch to Structural Navigation and test the issue again.

  • Wrapping All Content

    Hi there,
    I'm wanting to wrap all my content (DIVs) with one big DIV so that I can change the background of the page and keep the thing integral. The DIV I've used to wrap the content (.outer) does't seem to wrap all of the content on the page.

    That's the nature of the beast .  With a class, the entire DOM must be parsed looking for all elements with that class, whereas IDs are "indexed" (the wrong term but I am blanking out on the correct one)  so the browser can go right to them for styling. I  can google around for my sources for this if you'd like.  For a simple page of course it is really moot, but as the page complexity increases, and more and more classes are applied, using IDs will save some clock cycles.
    The reason I suggested adding a wrapper div was if the OP was looking to center the content, for example, as it was not clear to me just what the original intent was.

  • Changing position of figure captions (legends)

    Hi, I'm using FrameMaker 9, and I have a question about changing the position of figure captions. Currently in all our docs, figure captions are placed above the figure (above the anchored frame) to which they apply, but the powers that be (much to my annoyance) have decreed that they should appear below the figure. Does anyone know a way of changing the position of all anchored frames in relation to the caption paragraph without having to do it manually for each one?
    Thanks,
    Jim

    The fundamentally annoying thing is that Frame doesn't have "above current line" for anchored frames (AFs) or tables.
    Unless you use some run-in or at-insertion-point dodge, or you only need one AF/TBL per column (which could use top-of-column), ya gotta have an anchoring line of some sort above the AF/TBL.
    ... and the caption is below the graphic, the link jumps to the caption, displaying it at the top of the page.
    Hack:
    Use a tiny unique paragraph format for anchoring, with a to-be-invisible color View, say "Caption.Anchor", pt size 4, keep with next.
    Make the subject caption text the text of that Caption.Anchor paragraph.
    Anchor the frame or table to that.
    Put the visible caption paragraph on the next line (below the AF), or in the TBL, say, format "Caption.Visible", keep with previous.
    Make the text of Caption.Visible an Xref, <$paratex> (only) to Caption.Anchor.
    Have the TOC generate for Caption.Anchor. Make all hand-typed Xrefs use Caption.Anchor.
    Page loss to an invisible anchoring line* is minimal.
    The caption now appears to be below the frame.
    Hypertext links go to the top of the AF or TBL.
    * This can cause slight topline mismatch in multi-column layouts.

  • Same query, same dataset, same ddl setup, but wildly different explain plan

    Hello o fountains of oracle knowledge!
    We have a problem that caused us a full stop when rolling out a new version of our system to a customer and a whole Sunday to boot.
    The scenario is as follows:
    1. An previous version database schema
    2. The current version database schema
    3. A migration script to migrate the old schema to the new
    So we perform the following migration:
    1. Export the previous version database schema
    2. Import into a new schema called schema_old
    3. Create a new schema called schema_new
    4. Run migration script which creates objects, copies data, creates indexes etc etc in schema_new
    The migration runs fine in all environments (development, test and production)
    In our development and test environments performance is stellar, on the customer production server the performance is terrible.
    This using the exact same export file (from the production environment) and performing the exact same steps with the exact same migration script.
    Database version is 10.2.0.1.0 EE on all databases. OS is Microsoft Windows Server 2003 EE SP2 on all servers.
    The system is not in any sense under a heavy load (we have tested with no other load than ourselves).
    Looking at the explain plan for a query that is run frequently and does not use bind variables we see wildly different explain plans.
    The explain plan cost on our development and test servers is estimated to *7* for this query and there are no full table scans.
    On the production server the cost is *8433* and there are two full table scans of which one is on the largest table.
    We have tried to run analyse on all objects with very little effect. The plan changed very slightly, but still includes the two full table scans on the problem server and the cost is still the same.
    All tables and indexes are identical (including storage options), created from the same migration script.
    I am currently at loss for where to look? What can be causing this? I assume this could be caused by some parameter that is set on the server, but I don't know what to look for.
    I would be very grateful for any pointers.
    Thanks,
    Håkon

    Thank you for your answer.
    We collected statistics only after we determined that the production server where not behaving according to expectations.
    In this case we used TOAD and the tool within to collect statistics for all objects. We used 'Analyze' and 'Compute Statistics' options.
    I am not an expert, so sorry if this is too naive an approach.
    Here is the query:SELECT count(0)  
    FROM score_result sr, web_scorecard sc, product p
    WHERE sr.score_final_decision like 'VENT%'  
    AND sc.CREDIT_APPLICATION_ID = sr.CREDIT_APPLICATION_ID  
    AND sc.application_complete='Y'   
    AND p.product = sc.web_product   
    AND p.inactive_product = '2' ;I use this as an example, but the problem exists for virtually all queries.

  • The correct way to move files up a level in Finder?

    I understand that there isn't a 'cut' feature in Finder (very strange)
    So what is the correct procedure to cut/move a file & paste/move it up one folder level? (or up a few levels?)
    Power Mac G5 Dual 2.3, 20 Cinema Display   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    "A times B times C equals X. If X is less than the cost of a recall, we don't do one."
    It may not be a 100% awful idea, but there's no Supremely Awesome Implementation in any file system navigator currently, and with something like that [Finder file system object cut], you really need it. Anything less is a potential headache that isn't worth the minor benefit. Perhaps in the future, Apple will come up with something to trump previous attempts.
    Deskside support is difficult (anyone who's worked it can attest):
    "Why is my file dimmed?"
    "Oh, you cut it."
    "Where did it go? Is it still there?"
    "Well, um, sorta. It's going to be moved to wherever you paste it."
    "How do I cancel that? I want it to stay there."
    "Just paste it back, or copy or cut another file."
    "Did that erase the stuff I had on the clipboard? If I copy or cut another file, is my current file going to be left in place or get deleted? Is there a cancel button anywhere? Why is the sky blue?"

  • Display issues on Satellite M70

    I am using Satellite M 70 notebook, purchased about more than one year back and really like it ( Pentium M70, 512MB Ram, 40 GB HD). So far it has been without major issues.
    The only problem now I face is that some times the screen for a second or a fraction of second. It happens randomly, once or twice in a day and the flutter is more prmonant in lower part of screen. Seems a minor issue but it irritates me as I think it is too early for a laptop to show such an issue and it might progress with time. What u thinks of it? Is it an issue with the graphics chip (it has Mobile Intel 915 GM), Motherboard or any other hardware? Does not seem to be a software issue to me.
    BTW I have seen such flutter in two other non Toshiba laptops with my friends but in their case it was more frequent and very prominent and all the screen will flutter and shake for a second/ or a fraction of a second, a very, very unpleasant feeling.
    My problem is that I can not even show it to a tech as I do not know how I can reproduce this flutter to show him, it happens randomly and infrequently.
    I will like to tell about two other minor issues with M70 as well:
    I have set in Power Settings, the screen to be turned off after 5 minutes and laptop to be standby after 10 minutes. When screen is turned off and laptop is still not gone into standby mode, the normal behavior for the screen is to become ON if u touch the Touch Pad (or move the mouse). I noted that sometimes, the screen will not become ON even on touching the mouse pad, it totally fails to do so. Obviously I can not access the windows to logoff/ reboot at that time as screen is OFF. Then I will just close the lid (that puts laptop in hibernation) and reopen to make it ON again, the screen will become ON this time. I do not do power reset to prevent my current data loss at that time.
    I have noted this issue from the very beginning after I purchased it. It happens rarely though (once/ twice in a month). Any one noticed such issue?
    Another issue that also happens infrequently (once in a month or so): Sometimes while working with laptop, all of a sudden laptops screen will become lemon green, light blue (not BSOD) or pearly white or some other color like that. Again obviously I can not access the windows to logoff/ reboot at that time so I will just close the lid (that puts laptop in hibernation) and then reopen the lid to make laptop ON again; the screen will usually become Ok this time. I avoid power reset here also to prevent my current data loss at that time.
    This issue has been there also since from the very beginning.
    All these observations make me think that there is some problem with my Toshiba from day 1, probably the graphics? What do u think and advice about it?
    Really I will be reluctant to buy a Toshiba next time due to these issues.

    Hello aiglehawk
    I have read your posting very carefully because I have Satellite M70-159 amost a year now and it is always very interesting to see what other M70 owners report about this notebook model.
    Unfortunately here in forum is not possible to give you any precise diagnostic but I just want to write my comment about your posting. Maybe sounds strange but I will start with your latest sentence:
    > Really I will be reluctant to buy a Toshiba next time due to these issues.
    In my opinion this sentence is absolutely superfluous and I am pretty sure you will write the same if you have had any other non-Toshiba notebook. I can understand you but you know very well that if BMW produce 100 cars it can always happen that 5 of them have some fault.
    Believe me my Satellite M70 is almost permanent on (day and night). I have get it from company where I work and I do not care about it at all. It runs and runs. I have tested all stuff you wrote in your posting and it works perfect. All power saver settings I have changed many times and I have never noticed something similar.
    Yes you are right about service. I believe that you can not reproduce this but I am sure that you know very well that technician have different diagnostic tools for hardware checking. Using those tools they can find out if some hardware component is defective or not.
    Because of that I recommend you to contact service. Let them check your notebook. Is the warranty still valid?
    At the end I will also say that I like my M70 and I am very happy to have it. But as next notebook I would like to have some monster notebook like Qosmio.
    Good luck my friend and please let me know about service results.

  • Net Income account in General Ledger

    I have a requirement of finding out a period's (say June-00) Current Profit/loss(Income - Expenses) in GL.
    I have enabled Average Balace Option in the Set of Books. I had specified a Net Income Account. Does Net Income account carry standard balances besides average balances? Is it equivalent to Profit / Loss figure for a period?
    Any clarifications on this will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Can somebody

    The net income account is defined a non-postable account to capture the net activity of all revenue and expense accounts. It stores the aggregate balances to compute the net income impact on the retained earnings average balances for any given period, quarter or year.
    The primary difference between the non-postable net income account adn other balance sheet accounts, is that its balance does not roll forward when you open a new year. Instead, GL resets the account to zero when revenues and expenses are closed out to retained earnings at the end of the year.
    You could query this account on line (Inquiry->Average) for the year end (Dec)to ensure that the defined net income account is resetting itself to zero.

    As specified in the below thread we have modified the com.sap.portal.navigation.lightdetailednavigationtree.par as mentioned in the below changes but still the fucntionality of expanding all folders in DLN by default on click of role is not working, still all folders in the Detailed Navigation(DLN) in collapsed mode.  
    Is it possible to enable this functionality in EP 7.0 SP6 version, which is our current portal version?? or else would we need to have at least SP13 version to achieve this functionality??
    Could you please let us know what are other changes required in portal other than below PAR file changes to achieve the functionality??
    Any pointers on this issue would be great help to us.
    Thanks in advance.

    *The following are the changes which i made in the jsp file of  LightDetailedNavigationTree.jsp  in the PAR file.*
    a) Replace the nodeInSelectedPath value from false to true
    <nav:recurseNavNodeChildren currentDepth="currentDepth" currentNavNode="currentNavNode">
    <% nodeInSelectedPath = true; %>
    <nav:ifNavNodeInSelectedPath>
    <% nodeInSelectedPath = true; %>
    </nav:ifNavNodeInSelectedPath>
    b) and commented the below some if condition code(b).
      if(nodeIsOpen) {
    if(nodeIsPressed) {
       openNodes.remove(nodeIDInteger);
       nodeIsOpen = false;
    } else {
    // if(nodeIsPressed) {
    //    openNodes.add(nodeIDInteger);
    //    nodeIsOpen = true;
    openNodes.add(nodeIDInteger);
    nodeIsOpen = true;

    Hi Tobias,
    Thanks for your reply.
    Could you please let me know what are the changes woule be required to be done in the PAR file of com.sap.portal.navigation.detailedtree, where i couldn't see any JSP file to modify. actually our requirement is we need to expand all the folders by default which are displayed in the detailed Navigation. currently as of now all the folders are in collapsed mode, user has to expand the folders manually in DLN.
    I have already download the PAR file specified by you and als imported into NWDS, now could you please help what are the changes would require in code to achieve the functionality as mentioned above.
    in the PAR file, currently i am able to see only the properties file and one Java Script(JS) file , not find out any JSP file in that PAR file. could you tell me where to do the changes in the JS file and Properties file of the PAR file.
    Thanks,

  • The horror...

    for anyone whose tried to manage data files on an external hard drive using both a mac and pc they know the dismal truth. it can not be done easily... even with third party software the process *****...
    i eventually decided to format my 500 gig HD using fat 32. this was based mostly on the horror stories i've read here and advice i was given by reputable geeks elsewhere about the glitchyness of nfts, hfs and attendant software needed to make this crap work together on cross platforms.
    most people suggested using fat 32 with the clear caveat being - fat 32 is unstable
    BOY HOWDY!
    yesterday i mounted my external HD and proceeded to bootup and logon to the net (exactly as i've done for the 3 months i've owned my macbook pro) i clicked on safari and was confronted yet again with a popup update window. i clicked to download the security update (intel) which i recall being approx 26 megabytes.
    short story the mongrel update locked up my laptop... i waited a half hour and finally decided to hold down the startup button until the **** thing shut down, then promptly rebooted... fine no problem, however, the exernal drive (still plugged into the firewire 800 port) did not mount.
    i restarted the laptop 3 or 4 times until FINALLY the external drive mounted. i loaded my CS2 and bridge and went to do my graphic work... oooopsie... no folders where once there were several dozen?#$@#@$
    had a look at the directories only to discover that approx 100gigs of folders were missing...
    not good.
    i dismounted the drive from the laptop and plugged it into the pc... same story... a couple of dozen folders just GONE!
    JUST VANISHED IN AN INSTANT!
    had a look at the drive under 'my computer' and where once it reported 465 gigs 260 gigs free it now reported 465 gigs 368 gigs free!@#%^#$%
    at present i'm waiting on word from a local computer tech and the possibility of recovering the missing data - three months of graphic work ****** into hardware ****...
    oh yeah... i called the apple techs (i have apple care and haven't used it until now) and was told essencially TO BAD. it's not there responsibility... yada yada yada...
    beware

    oydesseus,
    If I am not mistaken, you are a relatively recent "convert."
    I have read your post carefully, I have made a couple observations, and I have some feedback for you. First, let me state that I don't intend to water down the seriousness of your data loss. That said...
    It seems to me that you are still stuck in "PC thinking." One should never encounter situations where a Mac simply "locks up." That just doesn't happen to any Macs I own, now or in the past. The fact that you encounter things like this indicates that something is wrong with either your Mac, or its installation of OS X. Certainly, the simple act of initiating a download or update should never, ever cause problems.
    When I say "PC thinking," I mean the idea that anything other than flawless performance is normal or acceptable. Also inherent in this thinking is the concept of a "mongrel update," or the idea that any file system (NTFS, HFS+, etc.) is "unstable." While it is true that there can sometimes be problems with third-party (mind you) software such as MacDrive, the file systems themselves are quite mature, and usually very robust.
    However, all file systems are subject to disk errors, especially when they are improperly unmounted (which has definitely occurred in your case). For this reason, one should never connect external volumes to a machine that is experiencing problems. Further, it is common knowledge, and clearly state all over the place, that updates, etc. should never be run with external devices connected, or with running applications. This is "Mac thinking."
    I can't do anything to help you with your current data loss, but perhaps my feedback will help you to avoid similar circumstances in the future. Really, I'm trying to help.
    To that end, I suggest that you carefully consider your current habits, and your current ways of thinking. Why and when do you feel it necessary to cross platforms? What could you do to minimize this? Why do you have and use a Mac? Why do you have and use a PC?
    I ask these questions because one of the basic tenets held by OS X, and users of OS X, is simplicity (even though the OS, itself, is not simple. It is complex in an effort to create simplicity of use). So, beginning with the fact that you have a Mac:
    * Identify those things that you are currently doing on the PC, that could be performed on the Mac. Migrate this work to the Mac.
    * Having done the above, you will now be doing on the PC only what is absolutely necessary. Since Macs and PCs both have similar (if not identical) capabilities, this amounts to things that can be done only using Windows-only software. That's not much.
    * Format any external drive using some partition scheme. Leave the majority as either HFS+ or NTFS, with a smaller partition formatted as FAT-32. Your Mac can read NTFS, so any files generated by the PC that must be transferred to the Mac can go that route. FAT-32 would only be used to transport files from the Mac to the PC.
    * FIX. YOUR. MACHINES. What's wrong with your Mac? Why does it "lock up?" If you need help in making a determination about this, we're here. Do not accept as fact the idea that even occasional problems are normal; fix it, or get it fixed.
    Ideally, you should migrate completely to your Mac. I do not claim that Macs or OS X is absolutely perfect (nothing is), but I do claim that those who have migrated completely experience fewer headaches.
