Referencing the default region via URL

Question

I need to expand the URL region= call to work with a template. I am creating a template for my users that will allow them to upload a file to the default region of the page. Normally I would simply use the region id, however, I do not want the file uploaded to the template, but to the region of the individual pages.
Is there a way to dynamically generate the region id? Is there a region=DEFAULT option? Can anyone help?

Answer 1

The Problem when used in conjuction with a template is that an item added to the template give the TemplateID instead of the pageID when you specify the associated function. The solution is to figure out the page ID yourself instead of passing it to the procedure. You can use the following code to do this:
v_page := p101202_050720.wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('_pageid','a');
v_page := substr(v_page, instr(v_page, ',')+1);
This code is meant as a sample ... if you have tabs you will need to further substring to just get the pageID ..wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('_pageid','a'); returns in the following format:
pagegroupID,pageID
if there are tabs then:
pagegroupID,pageID,tabID
Please keep in mind that scraping the page off the URL is not a supported use of this procedure and may break in future release if Oracle changes the structure of the URL.
Hope this helps,
