Read parameters in a dynamic page portlet?

Hi,
Is it possible to read input parameters in a dynamic page portlet?
Am I missing something if I want to read the input_parameter?
<oracle>
ftp.p(:input_paramter)
</oracle>
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
It is not possible to read the input parameters in the <oracle> tag. You can read it in the additional plsql code. If you have
to access the parameter deptno then do this in the additional plsql code section.
for i in 1..p_arg_names.count loop
if p_arg_names(i) = 'deptno' then
htp.p(p_arg_names(i));
end if;
end loop;
Thanks,
Sharmila

Color and Styles in Dynamic Page Portlets

How do you control the colors and fonts of Dynamic Page Portlets.
I am currently using simply syntax and let the Portlet do the rest.
<ORACLE>Select * from Emp</ORACLE>

Did you try to use something like:
<head>
<LINK rel="stylesheet" href="estilos.css">
</head>
before the oracle tags and inside the file include the colors and all that things?

Passing parameter to a dynamic page portlet

We need to create a drill-down report using pl/sql, but it's not working when we passed a parameter. We did the following:
1. Create a package and a store procedure.
2. The store procedure creates the report and the look-and-feel of the report.
3. Create a dynamic page with the following code:
<ORACLE>DECLARE
BEGIN
mvdata.interbay_ops_rpts_pkg.ops_detail_procssr_rpt(p_processor);
END;
</ORACLE>
4. Set the parameter to "public" in the "customization form display option".
5. Create a page group and a page.
6. Clicked on properties of page and then clicked on the parameter tab.
7. Added a parameter named "p_processor_code"
8. We also added the portlet parameter under the "portlet parameter values" and set the parameter to be a page parameter and select the name of the parameter and click OK.
9. Launch the URL: ttp://iasdev01.bftg.com:7782/pls/portal/url/page/PG_GRP_DEVELOPMENT/PG_OPS_DETAIL_PROCESSOR?p_processor_code=DUBOIS.
10. When we tried to launch the application we get an empty report(doesn't execute the parameter).
11. Edit the page and went into layout mode.
12. Click on the "edit default" of the dynamic page portlet and put the value of the parameter and it works without any problems.
I don't understand why it doesn't take the parameter with the page url. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I had more luck with PL/SQL items. Try something like this:
declare
zip varchar2(10);
begin
zip := portal.wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('zip', 'a');
if zip='94065' then
... do something ...
end if;
end;Peter

Pass parameters to a dynamic page with MULTIPART

Hello everybody,
I'm facing with a problem that I still can't resolve...
For some reasons I need to use a Dynamic Page as a form, so I create an html form (which contains also an <input type="file" name="file_test">) that call the same page with enctype="multipart/form-data".
When I call the page to save the data, I can read all the parameters with :parameter_name, but I can't read the content of the file. If I try to get :file_test it contains only a file name.
How I can get:
1) the mime format
2) the content of the file (binary)
and then save it in a blob?
Thank you in advance for your help...

You can use sessions to pass values from one page to another.
In page A you can add a value:
v_user_session portal.wwsto_api_session;
v_user_session := portal.wwsto_api_session.load_session(
p_domain => 'yourDomain',
p_sub_domain => 'sub');
v_user_session.set_attribute(
p_name =>'name',
p_value => 'YourValue'
v_user_session.save_session;
The p_domain and p_sub_domain can be choosen freely but you must know that they have to be the same if you want the retrieve the value from page2:
v_user_session portal.wwsto_api_session;
v_user_session := portal.wwsto_api_session.load_session(
p_domain => 'yourDomain',
p_sub_domain => 'sub');
yourValue := v_user_session.get_attribute_as_varchar2('name');
This is how you can pass values without posting or without adding them to the URL.

Obtaining form parameters in a dynamic page

Hi
It is possible of course to create a form on a dynamic page and have a user provide input. But how can the user input be retrieved, if the user input is sent to the same page or to another Portal dynamic page? As a Portal dynamic page can only contain html and pl/sql between the <oracle> tags, it looks like there is no programmatic way (such as with perl or java) to obtain the information from the form and put it in one or more variables.
Is there a way to obtain the data from forms using pl/sql in a dynamic page? A code example would be most helpful.
Thanks very much.
Hugo

You can do it using two dyns or one dyn.
Using one dyn:
Define a parameter :p1 and let a default value for it(e.g. 1).
Construct a form that submits to the same dyn
begin
declare
v_p1 varchar2(100) := :p1;
begin
htp.p('<form name="example" action="" method="post">
<input type="text" name="p1" value="'||v_p1||'">
<input type="submit">
</form>');
end;
When you submit it to same page you will be able to see your new parameter value. If you want to use two dyns then submit it to second dyn.

Over-ride default customization for Dynamic page portlet

has anyone been successful at over-riding the default customization that comes with the Dynamic page wizard. I have a portlet that will have specific values for each user and I would like to default those values the first time the user comes in. The delivered customization screens are not adequate to do this.
Any ideas would be appreciated...
null

The question is not related to dynamic services. It is related to over-riding the default customization delivered by the Oracle portal dynamic page wizard. I need to figure out using the PDK how to enhance / over-ride the default customization that is generated. Is the preferred approach to go through the wizard and then modify the code that gets generated or should you just start from scratch and never use the wizard at all?
Thanks,
Tom

Problem: Dynamic Page portlet is not displayed on a public-viewable page

I've written a little dynamic page portal that works nicely on secure pages, but when I create a new page and mark this page as "public viewable" - the portal is not displayed.
I created a 2nd public page and put several prebuilt and some of our own portlets onto this page - again none worked - except the prebuilt "login" portlet.
Is there a restriction that I'm not aware of?
Is there a documentation about this behaviour?
Can anyone post me a hit or link to documentatin?
Sincerly,
Art

Make sure your Portlet Provider access is set to allow 'PUBLIC' access with Execute';
To set, navigate to Providers > Locally Built Providers
Follow 'Grant Access' link near provider name

In a dynamic page how to share variable between PL/SQL and javascript

For example, my dynamic page contains such PL/SQL codes:
<ORACLE>
DECLARE
info varchar(100);
rowid urowid;
procedure doDelete(
row_id in urowid
) IS
begin
Delete From xxx
WHERE rowid = row_id;
end doDelete;
BEGIN
Select name, rowid INTO info, rowid
From xxx Where xxx;
HTP.PRN(' <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="show value" onClick="alert(info);">');
HTP.PRN(' <INPUT TYPE="button" VALUE="delete" onClick="doDelete(_row_id);">');
END;
</ORACLE>
The variable 'info' and '_row_id' are correct, however the two HTP. sentence do not work. What's the problem?
What I want to do is to show all the records in TABLE A in a page. And at the end of each line (record), there' re a 'delete' and a 'update' button to let user operate on this record. Is this possible? I know form can do delete an update, but it can not show all the records in a page like what report does. Besides dynamic page, is there any other better choice? Report can do it?
One more question. In a report, I employed link on one field to a second report. It works well. But I want to open the second report in a new window when the link is click. Is this possible?
I was almost driven crazy by these :( I so appreciate if anyone can help.

The code written by you is insufficient for the funtionality you are trying to achieve. Below is a method to achieve the same.
Note: Used standard scott.emp table for the example which is located in my db provider schema.
Do the below modifications as per your local configuration
xxxxx -> Replace it with your Portal schema
yyyyy -> Replace it with your db provider schema
<<module_id_of_form>> -> Replace with the module id of form created in step 1 & 2.
First and foremost... oracle does not allows variables starting with '_'. So if you want to use it you have to place it in double quotes ("")
rowid -> illegal
"_row_id" -> legal.
However, I will advice you not to use variable names starting with "_".
Now lets get started...
1. Create a form on the table you are using in the dynamic page. Just have the update button. Remove the other buttons.
2. Get the module id of this form. Instruction for getting the module id:
a) Right-click on the form's run link and copy the shortcut
b) Get the value of p_moduleid parameter. This is your module id.
3. Create a procedure "save_action_details" in your db provider schema. This procedure will accomplish the delete operation on the record.
     CREATE OR REPLACE Procedure save_action_details(
     p_rowid IN VARCHAR2,
     p_action IN VARCHAR2,
     p_dyn_ref_path IN VARCHAR2,
     p_dyn_page_url IN VARCHAR2)
     is
     l_sto_session xxxxx.wwsto_api_session;
     begin
     l_sto_session := xxxxx.wwsto_api_session.load_session(
     p_domain => 'DynStore',
     p_sub_domain => 'DynStore_' || p_dyn_ref_path
     l_sto_session.set_attribute(
     p_name => 'rowid',
     p_value => p_rowid
     l_sto_session.set_attribute(
     p_name => 'action',
     p_value => p_action
     l_sto_session.save_session;
     htp.init;
     owa_util.redirect_url(p_dyn_page_url);
     end save_action_details;
Explaination: The above procedure creates a session and keeps the rowid and action in the session. This information is used by the below dynamic form to perform the necessary action. In our exampl, the action is always going to be delete so you may go ahead and hard code it, else leave it as it is.
4. Grant execute privilege on the procedure "save_action_details" to public.
sql> grant execute on save_action_details to public;
5. Create your Dynamic page.
a) In HTML code section have the below code. This code shows some columns from the table and "update" and "delete" buttons to perform the respective action.
     <ORACLE>select empno,ename,rowid,
     '<input type="button" value="Update" onClick="doAction(this.form,''UPD'',''xxx'','''
     || xxxxx.wwv_standard_util.url_encode(rowid) || '''); tWin();">
     <input type="button" value="delete" onclick="doAction(this.form,''DEL'',''' || rowid || ''',''xxx'');">' Action
     from yyyyy.emp</ORACLE>
b) In additional pl/sql code section of dynamic page, have the below pl/sql block "in after displaying the header" section.
     declare
     l_sto_session xxxxx.wwsto_api_session;
     l_del_rowid varchar2(20);
     l_action varchar2(10);
     begin
     htp.comment('User code starts here ...');
     htp.p('<script>');
     htp.p('var winHandle;');
     htp.p('
     function doAction(formObj, action, rowid, erowid)
          if (action == "UPD")
          var formURL = "' || xxxxx.wwctx_api.get_proc_path('wwa_app_module.link?p_arg_names=_moduleid&p_arg_values=<<module_id_of_form>>&p_arg_names=_rowid&p_arg_values=') || '" + erowid;
          winHandle = window.open(formURL, "winDynUpd", "width=750,height=500,resizable=yes");
          else
          formObj.p_rowid.value = rowid;
          formObj.p_action.value = action;
          formObj.submit();
     function tWin() {
          if (winHandle.closed) {
          document.location = document.location;
          else {
          setTimeout("tWin()", 500);
     htp.p('</script>');
     htp.p('<form name="dynRowProcess" method="POST" action="'
     || xxxxx.wwctx_api.get_proc_path('save_action_details','yyyyy')
     || '">');
     htp.p('<input type="hidden" name="p_rowid">');
     htp.p('<input type="hidden" name="p_action">');
     htp.p('<input type="hidden" name="p_dyn_ref_path" value="' || p_reference_path || '">');
     htp.p('<input type="hidden" name="p_dyn_page_url" value="' || p_page_url || '">');
     l_sto_session := xxxxx.wwsto_api_session.load_session(
     p_domain => 'DynStore',
     p_sub_domain => 'DynStore_' || p_reference_path
     l_del_rowid := l_sto_session.get_attribute_as_varchar2('rowid');
     l_action := l_sto_session.get_attribute_as_varchar2('action');
     if l_action = 'DEL' then
     delete from yyyyy.emp
     where rowid = l_del_rowid;
     end if;
     end;
Explaination: The session information (rowid and action) stored by "save_action_details" procedure is retrieved by the dynamic page and is used to delete the record.
6. Once you are through with the above steps, test it by placing the above "dynamic page" portlet on a page.
a) When you click on delete button the record gets deleted and the automatically refreshed page will not show the deleted record.
b) On clicking update button, a form will appear. do the necessary modifications in data and click update. the data in the form gets updated. Once you close the form the dynamic page gets refreshed automatically and it will show you the updated information.

How to display dynamic page content in an external application (MS Word)?

I have a portal that generates a CV from info stored by various forms. The CV displays fine in a dynamic page, but when I add javascript to launch MS Word with a call to the dynamic page portlet, only the hard coded html displays - nothing between the <ORACLE> tags is loaded.
I had the idea of updating the dynamic page with hard coded html prior to each export - but I can't find where the dynamic page definition is stored in the database.
Any ideas/better solutions out there?

dynamic page:
<ORACLE>
DECLARE
theUser varchar2(30) := portal30.COE_GET_CV_PERSON;
v_output varchar2(6) := portal30.COE_GET_CV_OUTPUT;
v_no number;
v_url varchar2(500):= 'http://oraclecoedb.asiapacific.cgey.com:7779/pls/portal30/PORTAL30.wwv_component_control.run_as_portlet?p_module_id=1934976747';
BEGIN
IF v_output = 'WORD' THEN htp.script('startWord('||''''||v_url||''''||');','Javascript');
ELSE null;
etc ...
javascript:
<script language="JavaScript">
function startWord(strFile)
var myApp = new ActiveXObject("Word.Application");
if (myApp != null)
myApp.Visible = true;
myApp.Documents.Open(strFile);
</script>

Get current page details from within dynamic page

Is there any API or any other way of getting the current page id that the dynamic page portlet is being called from?
Thanks in advance.

I've tried the following:
theLink varchar2(1000) := 'http://'||owa_util.get_cgi_env('HTTP_HOST')||owa_util.get_cgi_env('SCRIPT_NAME')||owa_util.get_cgi_env('PATH_INFO')||'?'||OWA_UTIL.GET_CGI_ENV('QUERY_STRING');
But that gets me the URL of the dynamic page portlet not the page the portlet is on?

Creating Dynamic Page: Make My Own Template Appear?

I am creating a Dynamic Page portlet.
During the setups for this dynamic page, in the "Dynamic Page and Customization Form Text" step, I would like to make a template of my creation appear in the dropdown of templates.
(Examples of templates currently appearing in this dropdown list include PUBLIC.TEMPLATE_1 , PUBLIC.PEOPLE_TEMPLATE AND PUBLIC.SKY_TEMPLATE.)
Does anybody know how I can make a custom template of mine appear in this list?
Thank you.

Go to the Navigator (page) > Providers (tab) > Locally Built Providers (link) > Shared Components (link) > User Interface Templates (link)
Once there, you can either copy one of the existing templates or click on "Create New... User Interface Template" (When prompted, I recommend selecting "Unstructured UI Template" if you want complete control over your html, css, and javascript code.)
Once your template has been created, you will be able to select it from the list of available templates and the template will be shown when the component is viewed in full page display mode.

Dynamic page question (or class=RegionHeaderColor)

Hi there,
i have a couple of portlets, the top-left-portlet showing a background image.
however my dynamic-page portlet doesn't show the image
because in the source i see this:
<TR><TD class="RegionHeaderColor" WIDTH="100%">
<H2>Example of A Dynamic Page</H2>
</TD></TR>
the problem is the class.
when i remove it, i see the image...
my questions are:
1. where can i remove the class
2. how can i change the class.
thanx in advance,
Teo.

If your question is related to editing of dynamic pages exposed as a porltet in a particular page then,
1)Edit the page
2)Check the name of the component (dynamic page component) created, and the name of the application.
3) In the applications tab, navigate to the corresponding application and edit the component in question.

Dynamic page search passing parametars problem

Hi Sharmila,
May I request this instead as the original thread seems to have died. I am trying to link a Oracle Form from a dynamic page, I am passing parameters from the dynamic page to the Oracle Form.
Please may I have a simple example of this.

Hi,
Your question is not very clear. Are you creating a dynamic page or a portal form? Do you want to pass parameters to a
form or from a form? Please elaborate.
Thanks,

Displaying header and border on a dynamic page passing parameters to a form

I am using portals 10.1.4. and am trying to pass parameters to a form which appears as a portlet on a page.
for this, dynamic page has been used to pass parameters to that desired form. my problem is this that when the form is displayed with parameters, the header and borders of the portlet disappear.
The check-boxes for header and borders of the portlets on the page are checked. Yet, when for any reason, the parameters are not passed into the dynamic page, the header of the dynamic page and border are displayed. But when the parameters are passed and the form shows up, then the header and borders disappear.
can anyone help me with the following:
- is it the desired behavior?
- how can i get the headers and borders reappear?
thanks

Any ideas fellows?
how can we control the border and header of dynamic pages when a form or report is called from them with passed parameters?
will appreciate any helpful experiences.
