Passing URL parameter to form

Hi, i'm currently building a back-end for a small site. What
i'm trying to do is enable a user to edit and update an article.
I've got a dynamic table, i'm trying to use a URL form parameter to
pass the unique ID of an article to a form that brings up the
article for editing, but its not working, its just bringing up the
same record whatever link is clicked in the dynamic table. Can
somebody point out whats missing? I'm using PHP & mySQL.
Thanks, any help appreciated.

You don't specify what language you're using, or how you're
populating your
form.
If you're using a recordset to populate your form, simply
edit it and then
set the filter to your ID field, and use the URL parameter to
capture your
variable. Make sure in your recordset for your page to
display the records
you put the same variable name as you use on your previous
page with the url
variable.
HTH,

Passing url parameter

Hi,
I would like to pass a url parameter, with the following format, to a get method.
http://myserver/send?param-id=1234@5678
I was able to do it using the HTTPService send(parameter) but the characters "-" and "@" are changed. I want to send the parameter as is, can anyone teach me how?
Thanks in advance..

rockstar888,
for a GET, you can only use things which are permitted characters in a URL string. Hence some characters won't work just as they are. Now, we all know some browsers are very accommodating with things like this (eg a space character should be sent as %20 but if typing in a URL you can usually get away with it in a browser), but you have to be more strict in this situation. One way is to have some encode/decode stuff at each end. Another (if you are going to use the result simply as a URL at the other end) is just to let the URL encoding go on its way without problems. Another is to use POST rather than GET, since POST variables are passed like entries in an HTML form rather than a querystring, so you have more flexibility. To do this you just use the method property of HTTPService.

Passing date parameter from forms to report

Hi,
I'm using forms and reports 6i.
I want to pass one date parameter from forms to reports.
Using
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);
giving me error REP-0091- Invalid value for parameter 'P_FROM_DATE'
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar.
Please help

Hi Divya,
Even I use this kind of statement
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'P_FROM_DATE',TEXT_PARAMETER,:FROM_DT);and works fine for me.
This i think is because report expects date and here it is converted as varchar
Correct.
Open the report in the builder and under Data Model -> User Parameters, Go to the Property Inspector of P_FROM_DATE. Under Parameter, set Datatype as Character instead of Date.
Hope this should work. and tell me if it works(coz it wokred for me).

How can I pass URL parameter value to text field?

Dear Masters,
I have a text field. I want it to have a value based on the URL parameter, for example:
http://myapplication.net:7777/pls/apex/f?p=102:1:::::P1_RTNUM:9448,P1_EMAILADD:email.add.here
I want the value of the text field = P1_EMAILADD after the form was loaded. Also, please have it read-only.
Thanks a lot.

How to pass url parameter string to a query

I need urgent help please, to pass a mysql query string from a master page to another details jsp page using a url parameter. The master page's url parameter looks like this;
<a href="Details.jsp?jobs=<c:out value="${row.actions_id}"/>"><c:out value="${row.action_title}"/></a>How can I query the mysql database using the url query string to get the query details.
Please help me out with detailed example please.

You can get the parameter value using HttpServletRequest#getParameter():String jobs = request.getParameter("jobs");You can interact with databases using the JDBC API. This is a different topic. If you aren't familiar with it yet, then learn it. There is a very good JDBC tutorial here at Sun.com: [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/jdbc/index.html]. Once you're familiar with that, create a DAO class which does the all the database interaction tasks. Create a method which takes the jobs value as parameter and let it return result(s) accordingly. You may find this article useful either: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2008/07/dao-tutorial-data-layer.html].

How do I pass URL parameter after Update record?

I have an update record page that successfully updates a record, but when it is redirected to the page it came from it loses any parameters to filter record sets to obtain the correct records.
When I try to use the Parameters dialog box from the Update Records "select a redirect" dialog box, it results in an error indicator in front of the Update Records line in the Server Behavior, and the web page ceases to update the records.
How do I pass a parameter to the next page?
Thanks

I have found a work around for this issue. By selecting the Insert or Update button and adding a hyperlink with parameter settings. The Hyperlink has the same destination as the Insert records Behavior. When the button is clicked it performs the Insert, and passes the parameters to the destination page..

Passing page parameter to form object in Porlet

How can I pass a page parameter to a Portlet that contains a form? I wish to set the default value of a dropdown item in the form based upon a page parameter. Thanks.

I have found that when you set a value for a bound variable in the customise screen you cannot clear it. For some reason it seems to be stored as a null value somewhere and it always over-rides any page parameter setting.
Try renaming the parameter in your report. Make it public as before and then link it to the page parameter (you probably don't need to rename this, but it might be a good idea to make it more than just the letter p). Watch out - parameters in the url are case sensitive.
Good luck.
Patrick.

Pass URL parameter to BEx application

Hi all.
We have a BEx query, that is called by Iview. In the URL, we attach the user that logged in the portal. Then when the BEx application is called we need pass this value to the query.
We tried to solve this principally concatenating this chain to URL query in the Iview:
&BI_COMMAND_1-BI_COMMAND_TYPE=SET_VARIABLES_STATE
&BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE_TYPE=VARIABLE_INPUT_STRING
&BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE_TYPE-VARIABLE_INPUT_STRING=j_user
&BI_COMMAND_1-VARIABLE_VALUES-VARIABLE_VALUE_1-VARIABLE= ZUSPORT
Where j_user is the user sended back by the portal, and ZUSPORT is the name of the query selection field.
But now the problem is that we need to use an editable field to retrieve the user value... then we would make the field invisible or disabled but we don't know how to make this.
If make the caracteristic invisible in query designer it doesn't turn invisible because is a editable field.
If we use a exit variable the value isn't retrieved.
Any idea?? Any help will be apreciated. Thanks in advance.

Andrea,
If the parameter is always the same value, you can use the URL iview or the Application integrator iview and simply add the parameter to the URL in the iview properties.
If the parameter is dynamic, you can use the Application integrator. With this iview you can send user profile attributes as url parameters for instance.
Hope it helps.

Pass url parameter to cfreport

I am using CF9 and have generated a report using CF Report Builder that has a report parameter that function correctly.
I am trying to be able to get the variable value from the the address line and then display the cooresponding report page.
I have set a default value in report builder and written a simple viewing cfm.
<cfreport template="NC_ImpactReport.cfr" format="pdf">
<cfreportparam name= "CFVarProjectID" value=55>
</cfreport>
When I run this I get the report returned correctly for record '55'
http://website/nc_impactreport.cfm
Another program will have the hyperlink (http://website/nc_impactreport.cfm) with the selected record id(ie55) all on one line.
How do I get the variable value from the address line into the cfm correctly to pass it into the report?
Thanks,
Kurt

If your URL is "http://website/nc_impactreport.cfm?id=55" then your cfreportparam line should be:
<cfreportparam name= "CFVarProjectID" value="#URL.id#">

Is it possible to pass URL parameter to "People" in Office 365 ?

Hi,
I would like to find out if I can pass parameter from SharePoint online to "People" module on Office 365.
i.e.
https://outlook.office365.com/owa/?realm=XXXXXXXX&wa=wsignin1.0?QUERY=John#path=/people
Please note "?QUERY=John"
I've tried different params like "k", "q", "query", etc but this doesn't work...
What we would like to achieve is that user enter some name in search box on Sharepoint and after submitting is transferred to "People" module in Office365 with results matching name entered on Sharepoint.
Any advice will be really appreciated !
Thanks

Hi Mariusz,
To be able to access another user’s mailbox, we need to assign the account full access permission to access the other user’s mailbox.
And then we can access the other user’s mailbox through URL like this:
https://xxx.outlook.com/owa/[email protected]
I recommend to edit the Search result page(when a search center is used) and add a button to the page. When user clicks the button, redirect to the corresponding mailbox.
If a user name is typed in the search box, use JSOM to get the login name or email address of the user and generate the URL of the user’s mailbox which will be used when clicking the button.
About how to use JSOM to get the email address of a user:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/jj163800.aspx
For more information, you can post your question to the forum for Office 365: http://community.office365.com/en-us/f/default.aspx.
More experts will assist you, then you will get more information relation to SharePoint Online.
Thanks,
Victoria

Pass Url Parameter To Portlet in a Tab Page

Ciao,
i have a portal page with TABS. I have pl/sql portlets that read the url, then they pass parameters to the url. With "wwpro_api_parameters.get_value" and the session i am able to pass parameters via URL and to know if i have changed tab or not.
My question is: how cai i "CLEAN" the url if i change the tab? As you know, if i change tab, only the "_pageid" parameter change, and not the whole url.
i.e.: http://misun13:7777/servlet/page?_pageid=202,204,217&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30&par_name=5
I change the tab: http://misun13:7777/servlet/page?_pageid=202,206,217&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30&par_name=5
But i want to RESET the parameters! That is i want: http://misun13:7777/servlet/page?_pageid=202,206,217&_dad=portal30&_schema=PORTAL30
It seems i can't change the standard behaviour of the TAB.
Does anybody know how to do that?
Thanks in advance,
Ettore

Hi Ettore,
It is true that when you pass parameters, they show up on the URL and even when you change tabs the messy long URL will show up.
One way to avoid this, is to use the session store instead and save and access the parameter values from the session storage itself.
For more details on using Session Storage, check the PDK documentation for using the session store.
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/articles/implementing.session.storage.html
Another thing, you may try is using the owa_utl.redirect to specifically redirect to a clean URL. But i suspect that if your parameter values are still active, they will populate the URL in any case.
For further details on parameter passing, check:
http://portalstudio.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/PDK/articles/guidelines.parameter.passing.html
Hope this helps.

Pass URL parameter for zip code

In this fake url I want to pass the zip code value of the confirmed BP into "zipcode"
https://acme.com/locator.jsp?zip=zipcode
from the other post I have read the parameter name would be "zipcode" and thru the transaction launcher I am able to assign parameter value =
//selectedClmBpLinkRelationship/BpRelLinkBusinessPartner/BuilStandardAddressRel/POSTL_COD1
The transaction launcher is opening the launcher but not passing the value into the field. The window opens but the field is not filled with the zip code.
If I open a new ie browser and put in url
https://acme.com/locator.jsp?zip=60001
the url is reached and 60001 is filling the zip code field.
Is there an easy way to debug and see if any value is getting passed?
Am I conceptually on base for what I am trying to do?

Hi Shwetha,
That got me pointed in the right direction where we could get it to work.
For others, these were some other points we used to get it to work.
1. in the IMG where the url is defined don't add the ZIP parameter here so our IMG entry = https://acme.com/locator.jsp?
when the page launched correctly the parameters showed https://acme.com/locator.jsp?&zipcode=60001
2. for zip code parameter value we used //currentCustomer/BuilStandardAddressRel/POSTL_COD1 >> this goes in the transaction launcher with parameter zipcode and is then visible in the IMG entry "copy/delete launch transactions"

Passing URL parameter across Show detail item tabs

Hi
I have developed a sample jsr168 portlet which takes 1 input parameter and deployed it into the stand alone OC4J shipped with Jdev 10.1.3.4.0
In the view controller i created a jspx page and added the portlet to it. The portlet is added under a ShowOnetab->ShowDetailItem component in the jspx page. I mapped the parameter which i pass in the url to the portlet in the pagedef file of the jspx page.
The page works fine when i run it for the first time but if i were to move to another tab (ShowDetailItem) in the page and come back to the first tab the parameter is not registered even though it still exists in the url.
Can somebody please sugget a way to persist URL parameters across tabs (ShowDetailItem) in the page.
Thanks

Passing URL Parameter from a New Record

Hey, I'm a bit of a newbie to this, so please help me !!
I've created a form that adds a new record to a table using
the insert server behavior for ASP. I want to pass over the
strCompanyID field to the add-address.asp page as a URL variable,
but I can't figure out how to do it. Any ideas? Here's the redirect
source code:

If (CStr(Request("MM_insert")) = "form2") Then
If (Not MM_abortEdit) Then
' execute the insert
Dim MM_editCmd
Set MM_editCmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection = MM_eConnect_STRING
MM_editCmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO tblCompany

strWebsite, strInactive) VALUES (?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)"
MM_editCmd.Prepared = true
MM_editCmd.Parameters.Append
MM_editCmd.CreateParameter("param1", 202, 1, 10,

MM_editCmd.CreateParameter("param6", 5, 1, -1,
MM_IIF(Request.Form("ynInactive"), 1, 0)) ' adDouble
MM_editCmd.Execute
MM_editCmd.ActiveConnection.Close
' append the query string to the redirect URL
Dim MM_editRedirectUrl
MM_editRedirectUrl = "add-address.asp"
If (Request.QueryString <> "") Then
If (InStr(1, MM_editRedirectUrl, "?", vbTextCompare) = 0)
Then
MM_editRedirectUrl = MM_editRedirectUrl & "?" &

End If
Response.Redirect(MM_editRedirectUrl)

Hi Girish,
note 989900 describes an error solved with patch 700/82 or 640/153.

works for me.
In addition I recommend to read note 777423 which describes a better way to pass okcodes using the URL.
