Restricting Visitor's Ability to Download Page Contents

I want to restrict the public's ability to download or print
specific pages on my website. I want visitor's to be able to only
view these pages and yet not be able to print or download them
successfully. If they do print or download, what is recieved would
be too cumbersome, incomplete, cut off, jumbled or unusable. Note
that I do not want to use passwords (too complicated) and
Dreamweaver Frames doesn't limit printability. Any ideas?

The information is hard to get hold of; it took you a long
time to
compile; but learning how to set up password protection is
too time
consuming? If your information is that valuable, you should
either not
put it online, or you should protect it properly.
The Royal Mail has an extremely valuable resource in its
PostCode
database. Originally, anybody could look up any PostCode.
What happened?
Businesses started downloading the entire database. Now you
have to
register and are limited to a fixed number of queries every
24 hours.
It's the same with the BT online phone directory.
User registration and limiting the number of accesses per day
is the
only way to go if your data is as valuable as you say it is.

Visitor unabe to see the page content in WPC

Hi Experts,
I have created a website using WPC, and I created a role and assigned the site to that role using external connector property. I assigned that role to me and other users ( Authors, Visitors, Editors) .
Problem is , I am able to see all the pages by navigating the pages and nodes in that role. Where as other users are not able to see the page content, but ! the role and navigation nodes are there in their logon also.
Even, the top of the page like ( Edit page, print, RSS, etc) also appear in their logon's but ! page content is not appearing. I gave exact permission to them as they required.
Can anyone tell me solution for this ?
Thanks in advance

Ability to download the whole dashboard page into MS Excel or powerpoint

Folks,
i think this may be unique requirement or may be someone tried it,
from the Out of Box functionality, we only have ability to download the each report on a page to a MS Excel or power point
but i am looking on how to implement the functionality of downloading all the reports in the page/or the whole page itself into excel or powerpoint using click of button as we do have download into pdf/html versions.
i tried to hijack the existing pdf/html code, but did not work
any ideas/suggestions if this can be implemented or code that i can use
Thank You
Kumar

Hi friend,
you must use BI Office for that. To install it, log on Presentation Service with your user, click 'More Products' -> BI Office. Install it, and the, open excel or powerpoint. You will have a new menu where you can download reports as you are in Presentation Service.
Regards.

Downloading web page content

I want to take radio programme listings from a web page, such that I can parse the data and select certain programmes details only.
Firstly how do I actually get the web page content out? Does it go into a text file? The actual content includes programme times, which might be a means of picking out selected text. Does anyone know where I could find some code that will do that. My intention is to pass this information into a database which connects to my own web site.
This is for a dissertation and I am starting to run out of time, so I would be hugely grateful for any assistance.
Thanks
Rob

Looks like you need to...
a. Read Javadoc for java.net.URL
b. Read about JDBC(if what I understood is right, which is output of your program goes to database) See http://java.sun.com/products/jdbc/index.html
c. Read about XML parsing and transformations. See http://java.sun.com/xml/xml_jaxp.html

I lost the ability to download and view video on my mac, how do I restore this functionality?

One of the following steps should help.
1. Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Restart
2. Are Plug-ins Enabled?
    Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Web Content:
    Click in the box for "Enable Plug-ins".
3. Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.

HT201272 I had Pages and many documents associated with it on my generation 1 ipad. I just got an ipad Air. I downloaded Pages to my new ipad but all my documents are gone. How do I go about getting them back. My old ipad was backed up to my computer.

I am trying to locate my old documents from my generation 1 ipad. I downloaded Pages to my ipad Air but my documents are gone. I did back up my old ipad to my computer but I didn't restore my back up to the new ipad. I wanted to start fresh. How do I go about getting just my Pages documents from that backup and by the way, how do I access that back up?

You will need to restore the backup - just downloading the app from the store won't give you its contents from a preivous device, you will need to restore the whole backup onto your new iPad (which will replace its current contents) to get the app's content.

My download page has disappeared and I can't seem to download from my hotmail account.

Something has gone wrong with firefox. I use it to access the net. I use it to access my email account. But suddenly my ability to download items sent to me in my mail can't be downloaded. In the past when I clicked on download a download page appeared and gave me the status of the download. Nothing happens when I download now and it is becoming very frustrating. I can download using safari as the web browser but I prefer Firefox. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!

Try this:

You may need to manually add the icon to your toolbar.

For me, Firefox 4.0.1 is slooooow to download pages. IE 8 is much faster. I have Win 7 and Avast. I just uninstalled Firefox. Thanks.

Did you check your security software (firewall)?
A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Why are active menus and dialog boxes disappearing/being overwritten by the active tab/page content?

Frequently when selecting a download directory/filename in the "save to" dialog the entire dialog is overwritten with the active page content. It appears the dialog has closed, but if you tab through the dialog the active field/control is written but the rest of the dialog remains hidden/overwritten. This has also happened with the "open file" dialog. The the drop down menus on the menu bar are occasionally being overwritten after being activated/pulled down. I have not been able to determine a common/specific event causing this problem.

I seem to have fixed it by putting <div class="clearfloat"></div> after the navigation bar?

While in Edit Mode in Moodle - page content does not render at all, but I am able to display the underlying HTML code. Happens only after upgrade to Firefox 11.0.

While in edit mode in the Moodle course management system, the Page Content window should display the page as it will appear to the user. If you click on the "Edit" button, you are able to view the HTML code for the page. However, when you return to the normal display mode, the page is blank. This has occurred after the upgrade to Firefox 11.0. Page is normally rendered in Internet Explorer.

A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Downloading blob content from a custom table

In our hosted Apex application, the following code from the Application Express Developer's Guide works great for allowing a user to download blob content from one of our custom tables via a download button. However, the code doesn't work on the Oracle Cloud because the "owa_util" package is no longer available. The code is as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE download_my_file(p_file in number) AS
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT MIME_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT, name,DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(blob_content)
INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length
FROM file_subjects
WHERE id = p_file;
-- set up HTTP header
-- use an NVL around the mime type and
-- if it is a null set it to application/octect
-- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
-- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||replace(replace(substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1),chr(10),null),chr(13),null)|| '"');
-- close the headers
owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
end download_my_file;
Besides using web services, does anyone know of a way to do this? Is there a way to add access to the "owa_util" package in the cloud? I have also tried apex_util.get_blob_file_src but that is also unavailable in the Oracle Cloud.
Thanks,
Steve

Following Joel's advice:
The way I solved this was to split the code between two page processes and one application process. The download button first calls a page process to move the report data into a blob column and then calls another page process which is of "run application process" type. This calls the application level process where the download code, shown below, is called.
Notice the following changes to the code from the one posted earlier (also from Joel)
1) added sys.htp.init;
2) "sys." to all htp, owa and wpg_docload calls
3) added apex_application.stop_apex_engine; after the wpg_docload statement at the bottom of the script.
Now the download button launches a "save as" dialog box and the report content is downloaded to the client.
The code now looks like:
CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE download_my_file(p_file in number) AS
v_mime VARCHAR2(48);
v_length NUMBER;
v_file_name VARCHAR2(2000);
Lob_loc BLOB;
BEGIN
SELECT MIME_TYPE, BLOB_CONTENT, name,DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH(blob_content)
INTO v_mime,lob_loc,v_file_name,v_length
FROM oehr_file_subject
WHERE id = p_file;
-- set up HTTP header
-- use an NVL around the mime type and
-- if it is a null set it to application/octect
-- application/octect may launch a download window from windows
sys.htp.init;
sys.owa_util.mime_header( nvl(v_mime,'application/octet'), FALSE );
-- set the size so the browser knows how much to download
sys.htp.p('Content-length: ' || v_length);
-- the filename will be used by the browser if the users does a save as
sys. htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="'||replace(replace(substr(v_file_name,instr(v_file_name,'/')+1),chr(10),null),chr(13),null)|| '"');
-- close the headers
sys.owa_util.http_header_close;
-- download the BLOB
sys.wpg_docload.download_file( Lob_loc );
apex_application.stop_apex_engine;
end download_my_file;
Thanks Joel for your help.

An Error was encountered while retrieving page content

Hi guys,
I have a user that is having an issue when trying to add a header & footer and is receiving "an error was encountered while retieving page content" error. Our firm has acrobat 9.0 pro on windows xp. The file is located on a network share and even if i copy this file to my desktop it gives me this error. Let me know if you guys need more information.
Thanks.

Checking the network share is always a good starting point. Acrobat has had problems with some of these over the years. I would generally recommend working locally. However, that does not appear to be the current problem. Since you mentioned AA9.0, my first recommendation is to update AA which is currently at 9.4.4 version. That may solve the problem, partiuclarly if you are using 9.0. The updates may be done from the help menu (you will likely see several. The should always be installed in order). The help menu links generally give you cummulative updates. You can also download them from Adobe.com>downloads and select the updates in the right field near the top. You can then search for the Acrobat Windows updates. You have to generally install ALL of them that are listed in order. They generally are not cummulative. I am guessing the updates may fix the problem.

When I select a title in the iTunes Store and click on Play in iTunes I am sent to the download page for iTunes 10 which I have already. The selected title cannot be found anywhere in my iTunes. How can I get the title in iTunes with possibility to buy it

When I select a title in the iTunes Store and click on Play in iTunes I am sent to the download page for iTunes 10 which I have already. The selected title cannot be found anywhere in my iTunes. How can I get the title in iTunes with possibility to buy it?

The issue is that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside in order to purchase iTunes content.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location. You can use the iTunes Store in all countries of which you’re a resident, but you’ll either need a separate iTunes Store account for each one, or you’ll need to continually be switching the billing information on your single account. Generally, it’s simpler just to set up an alternative account for these situations, although it’s worth nothing that features like iTunes in the CLoud and iTunes Match are designed to work best when using a single iTunes Store account, as you can only switch accounts with these services every 90 days."
