Preference Page Examples?

Hello,
I'm trying to create preferences for some remote portlets that I'm developing, but I am having trouble finding examples of preference pages to use, and what exactly those pages are used for. Basically, I want an administrator to be able to edit the preferences for a given portlet, and have those changes take effect on the portlet. So, is the preference page just a plain HTML form where users can submit values for preferences, which then get set on the form getting submitted? Any examples or help would be greatly appreciated - thanks!

sorry for taking a while this time...i was on lockdown. :)
(plus the forums are down twice a day...whats up with that?)
so with your use case you probably want to use an administrative preference that gets set on the web service like this:
<img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/robapalooza/folders/Jing/media/88740393-effe-4d91-8a5c-566681b03295/2008-09-03_1055.png" width="648" height="246" border="0" />
which makes an edit button show up on the portlet settings like this:
<img src="http://content.screencast.com/users/robapalooza/folders/Jing/media/a55f9d73-b99d-46f4-a7c1-30c56ac43032/2008-09-03_1057.png" width="682" height="259" border="0" />
an administrative pref can be used so that each portlet can share settings across their instances. so if you set something up for the portlet it can be referenced regardless of where that portlet is placed and no matter how many times it is placed on different pages. if you want to be unique across communities you can set the url in the community preferences section which adds to the key as it is stored which leads to your other question. you do not have to be unique for pref names as they are double keyed with at least portlet id and key name so if you use fname or lname across multiple portlets the keys will be unique.
you can check out the ptprefs table in the portal db to see how they get keyed. the classid column specifies whether it is a community pref or not.

i've attached a sample app that has a couple of pref pages using the pref page templates fro the .net app accelerator. the default.aspx page codebehind does a quick check to make sure that these prefs are filled out so that you dont get errors down the line. it compiles but you might comment out some of the code to do a basic test...otherwise you have to fill out all of the textboxes before your portlet will render.

Creating a portlet's preference page

Hello, I'm going through this tutorial: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13158_01/alui/wci/docs103/devguide/tsk_portlets_creatingprefspage_portlet.html
I get confused on the first line where it says this "deploy the page to the remote server that hosts the portlet". The page that hosts the portlet is created through the Admin UI, i don't understand what this means. Also, I'm not sure how this portlet preference page is being created. It says that once you input the page that hosts the portlet in the url, that the pref page is specified in the web service's preference editor. Does that mean the portlet preference page is automatically created?

no forced structure, you just need to use the IDK to set variables based on the input of forms...

My Safari Extensions preference page is blank. How do I resolve it? (Safari 5.1.2 on Lion 10.7.2)

I found my extensions window blank back when I used Snow Leopard. I thought Lion and new updates will eventually solve it. But it is still there. I tried everything I can. I tried downloading Safari 5.1.2 and reinstalling it. It didn't work. Then I uninstaled safari using CleanMyMac and then tried installing it from scratch. It didn't work. When I googled I found that deleting some plist file resolves the problem on some older version of Safari. But I cannot locate that plist file on Lion. How can I get back my extensions preference page?

Delete the following items:
/Library/Application Support/SIMBL
/Library/LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
/Library/ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
Log out and log back in.
Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL, as it’s one of the worst articles of crapware on the Mac platform. It’s likely to come bundled with some other modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.

I like to edit single letter in the pdf file having more then 1000 page, Example "T" in place of "V" in all the 1000 pages in pdf file. Please let me know

I like to edit single letter in the pdf file having more then 1000 page, Example "T" in place of "V" in all the 1000 pages in pdf file. Please let me know !

In a PDF you can´t change single letter.
You can only try to convert the PDF document into a Word document.
Now you can search and replace a letter.

Preferences page

I am a new blackberry owner and found this on the Bolt browser site. I can't find the preferences page on the menu on my 8530 phone. Can someone help? Thanks.
Can BOLT detect the WAP (mobile) version of the Web sites?
Yes. If you enable Mobile View (from the Preferences page), BOLT automatically displays the WAP (mobile) version of Web pages. To enable mobile view, select Preferences from the Menu, then select the Mobile View check box. Select "Save". If a mobile version of the Web site is not available, BOLT will display the desktop version of web page even if Mobile view has been selected. BOLT does not reformat the content to fit the screen if mobile version of a Web page is not available.
Solved!

Cannot see the printer options or preferences page

Hi,
We have a number of computers that cannot see the printer options or the preferences page options. See the print screen below to see what i mean...
I've reinstalled adober reader X, with no luck.
Has anyone else had the same issue?
Cheers

Hi, unfortunately, I have the same problem: After installing Adobe Reader 10.1 on my MacBook 3,1 OS 10.6.8, printing pdf-files is impossible as the printer options / preference page is not shown anymore. I have reinstalled AR 10.1, I have reinstalled Snow Leopard, I have reinstalled AR 10.1 without success. Only once, there was a hint by AR: "internal problem, lack of ressource file". Other files (preview, MS word, etc.) print without problems. I would be glad to receive a hint how to solve this problem.

Preference page load

Everyone,
We've been having issues with several portlet preference pages. It seems that we ran into some problems when the preference page is loaded in a separate window. Is there a way to modify the portal behavior to load the preference page in the same window (similar to the behavior in 4.5)?
Thanks!

Hi,
To change this behaviour you have to customize com.plumtree.portalpages.browsing.myportal.MyPortalContentViewclass (java version of portal) .
There is hardcoded javascript function OpenPortletPrefsWindow in DisplayJavascriptDisplayJavascript method.

HT6114 since updating my mac to 10.9.2, my system preferences page comes up with an empty page in front of "internet accounts" page and I am unable to understand the problem? Any support would be appreciated.

Since updating my Mac to OS X 10.9.2, my "system preferences" app appears with a blank page in front of "interent accounts". Any support would help as I cannot see/find resolution to this issue.

Strangely enough the pref file did not show up in the Preferences folder. I don't know what this means but it could be signifigant.

Best practice Eloqua Landing Page examples

Hi
I was just wondering if anybody had any examples they have found of Landing Pages created in Eloqua that they think have been done excellently done.
I feel like I have improved mine significantly since I started working at my current company, however I am always on the look out for some new inspiration to open my mind up a bit!
Thanks for the help
Scott

Looks like I found what I wanted. Cheers,

Flex Builder - preference pages are blank

I have spent the last 2 days trying to sort this and I can't,
so I guess I'll come here and see if anyone has a solution.
In my Preferences->General->Keys prefs page, most of
the widgets are gone.
In my properties page for a Flex Library, the Flex Library
Build Path is mostly empty.
In properties->Flex Modules, that page is completely blank
except for the title.
(There's other pages that have screwed up unusable widgets as
well, but I can't find them all.)
Now, before you start throwing newb solutions at me, here's
what I have done:
- I have installed FB3 standalone - same issue.
- I have installed the plugin into a new Ganymede 3.4
install. Worked, but crashed in a flash module consistently when
encoding images.
- I downloaded the most recent 3.3 Europa JEE distro from
Eclipse.org and installed FB3 Plugin into that, exact same issue.
I have even tried to get some useful information out of
Eclipse by turning on what little debug trace options are available
for Flex - no dice. It's probably in Eclipse code somewhere anyway.
I'm running on Vista 64, a C2D and 8 gigs of ram, all up to
date.
I've seen a couple other people have this problem - anyone
have a solution?
Adobe engineers, can you tell me how to debug this?
Reproducibility is probably right out, but if you tell me how to
turn on the logging I need, I'll debug the crap out of it.
Cheers,
Jason

Simple jsf 2.1/ajax page, example code?

ive created a dynamic web project in eclipse juno, it uses mojarra and tomcat.

 this.setEventCount(this.getEventCount() + 1);
 public int getEventCount() {

 public void setEventCount(int eventCount) {
 this.eventCount = eventCount;
}the error i get is: (right after starting the application, without any input)

theres quite a lot of outdated information out there, even if you specify last year as max time search in google.
and there are even wrong ones, not just one. look at mykongs ajax example if you want to see ajax with a full page reload.
now with h:head and h:body the error is gone, but yet no ajax update when i type :(

ADF search page example in 11g version

As we switched to new JDeveloper none of our applications work anymore which is fairly frustrating as we spent months if not years to develop them I guess the major change is incopatibility of ADF 10g with Trinidad. Anyways, we are now looking for basic examples to speed-up learning curve:
1. Search page? With form and result table, all on the same page. Our current search page when migrated simply never returns any results. No error is displayed and we are sure query actually got executed
2. Seems that <tr:messages id="ms"/> component does not displays any messages thrown by the framework
We used something like this:
 public static void addFacesWarningMessage(String msg) {
 FacesMessage fm = new FacesMessage(FacesMessage.SEVERITY_WARN,msg,"");
 getFacesContext().addMessage(getRootViewComponentId(),fm);
 }and it does not work.
Any link/help is appreciated

Hi,
I think it would be good to get customer support involved to have a look at your app. Just from what you report, its hard to give any useful advise

"Firewall" and "Internet" buttons missing from "Sharing" preferences page

Hi,
I recently upgraded two servers to 10.4.3 (one was running 10.2 and one was running 10.3). On both servers now the Firewall and Internet tabs are missing from the Sharing preferences. Also, under the list of services on the Sharing prefs, there are only three services listed:
REmote Login, ARD, and Remote Apple Events. No other services are listed.
I found this problem because something in the firewalls changed and was blocking access to the servers via ARD. If I stop the firewall, then ARD works. So I wanted to go into the firewall settings and open up the ports required by ARD. Lo and behold, no Firewall tab on the Sharing page!
I've searched everywhere for info on what could make most of the services disappear, along with the Firewall and Internet tabs. But I can't find anything. Any ideas out there?

A call to Apple confirmed that the majority of services on 10.4 Server are now handled through Server Admin rather than through the Sharing preferences window.

Preference Page Examples?
