Search form with multi-tab result

Dear,
I would like to create a search form with multiple items. These can be different select lists (dont know yet if one list is going to be parent of another list).
If on the search form I press submit the result is used in the different tabs. (two page level tabs. THey can all have a different report.
When I switch between the tabs I can still see the original search form with the original filled in values.
Is this some kind of shared control or shared component like a navigation bar?
I would appreciate your help.
Kind regards,
Nico

Most probably your problem is different, but I remembered another (possibly similar) problem.
A few months ago another guy had a problem related to PPR of content on a ShowDetailItem in a PanelTabbed. He had not set the whole ShowDetailItem as PPR target but he had set a PanelFormLayout inside the ShowDetailItem as a PPR target. The problem was workarounded by setting either the whole ShowDetailItem or the whole PanelTabbed as a PPR target. So if you have not set the whole ShowDetailItem as a PPR target of the "execute query" button (by using ShowDetailItem's "partialTriggers" attribute), please try what will happen if you set it.

Search form with af:pannelTabbed results issue

Hi all,
I've created a search page with an ADF Parameter Form based on an ExecuteWithParams operation.
Following [url http://blogs.oracle.com/shay/2010/12/combining_multiple_queries_and.html?goback=.gde_1002457_news_308820955]Shay Shmeltzer´s post, the search form queries two view objects simultaneously and the results are displayed in two tables (each in a different tab).
Everything goes fine if both tables are displayed in the same af:showDetailItem tab.
If each table is displayed in a different tab then executing the search works for the first tab (the one that's disclosed by default). But when clicking on the second tab, no results are displayed. I have to reexecute the search.
Any help will be appreciated.

Hi I want to create a search form with drop down search criteria. This form should then search on the same site and display the search results. Is there HTML available for this? Or an oline site that I can use to build this form? I created a form in Jotfo

General search form with JQuery not working

Hi,
I tried to use jquery to submit a search form because I need some checking before submit. However, it did not go to search results page, but went to home page instead.
Here is my html:
<form name="catsearchform96767" id="generalSearchForm" method="post">
 <label style="opacity: 1;" for="f-search">Search</label> <input type="text" name="CAT_Search" id="f-search" /> <button type="submit">GO</button>
</form>
Javascript:
$('#generalSearchForm').submit(function(){
 $(this).attr('action', '/Default.aspx?SiteSearchID=1060&ID=/search-results');
 $(this).unbind().submit();
 return false;
It does not work with JQuery. But when I moved form action url from jquery to html, it worked. Any ideas? Cheers.

A search form with three search criterias

I want to create a search form in Apex with three text boxes that would let us search with a lastName,firstName or a course Name. So i would have three text box regions where the user can enter any one of the search criterias and get a results
the sql query that does the join is as
select Student.Student_id,
 Student.First_NAME,
 Student.LAST_NAME,
 Student.Email1 as Primaryemail,
 Student.Email2 as SecondaryEmail,

Contact form with Spry 'Tabbed Panels' and 'Validation TextField'

Hello
I am considering making a form using Spry tabbed panels (as step 1, step 2, etc.) and the form validation to process name, email, address, credit-card, accept terms and conditions, etc.
This is instead of a multi-page form, because there could be security flaws there (i.e. passing sensitive information from one page to the next) and it would take longer for the user - needing to open each page, etc. where this is to be used as a buy form (for a single product), sort of like one-click order (but not exactly).
Overall, it seems like a good idea, someone else has tried it, but I do have some questions that haven't been covered there - relevant for anyone that'd ever want to do this with Spry - that didn't come up there:
1. Will it degrade gracefully, and still work? For example, when you turn JavaScript, CSS, images, and other things off?
2. Is it possible to go from Step-to-Step (using the top tabs, or 'Submit' and 'Back' buttons added on the bottom) without entering all of the required information? Because I would like to disable this - perhaps also have the future Steps grayed out and un-clickable.
3. Is it safe to use this form to enter credit card details, and then email those to the website's account? I am new to SSL, so I'm not sure if I could implement some security feature here? Where should I look?
4. Does it load the page fast, despite having multiple steps all pre-loaded? Can we make subsequent steps require some 'loading' (without refreshing the page)?
5. If it doesn't do either of these, how could we make it do that?
I hope to hear from you!

ADF 11g: How to implement search form with automatic substring search

We have ADF search form and result table on the same page. Say, VO that this search form is based upon is famous Employee table from HR schema. What we need is a logic when user enters partial employee first name ie: 'jo'...it should return 'john', johnny, joanne etc...
just like if user would use wildcard %
What worked in 10g ADF was something like this:
 AccessServiceImpl svc = (AccessServiceImpl)JSFUtils.EL("#{data.AccessService.dataProvider}");
 BirthViewNewImpl b = svc.getBirthViewNew();
 ViewCriteria vc = b.getViewCriteria();
 String staffId = JSFUtils.getFromSession("staffId").toString();
 String studyId = JSFUtils.getFromSession("studyId").toString();
 if (vc != null) {
 System.out.print("BR " + studyId + " " + staffId + " ");
 AttributeDef[] defs = vc.getViewObject().getAttributeDefs();
 Iterator criteriaRows = vc.iterator();
 while (criteriaRows.hasNext()) {
 ViewCriteriaRow r = (ViewCriteriaRow)criteriaRows.next();
 if (r != null) {
 for (int j = 0, numAttrs = defs.length; j < numAttrs; j++) {
 if (JboTypeMap.isCharType(defs[j].getSQLType())) {
 String val = (String)r.getAttribute(j);
 String col = defs[j].getColumnName();
 if (val != null) {
 System.out.print(col + "=" + val + " ");//just to see what is going on
 System.out.println("");
 b.searchRecords();//method in VO that executes query
 * This is now very wrong.... Very artificial way to eliminate % from the UI
 if (vc != null) {
 AttributeDef[] defs = vc.getViewObject().getAttributeDefs();
 Iterator criteriaRows = vc.iterator();
 while (criteriaRows.hasNext()) {
 ViewCriteriaRow r = (ViewCriteriaRow)criteriaRows.next();
 if (r != null) {
 for (int j = 0, numAttrs = defs.length; j < numAttrs; j++) {
 if (JboTypeMap.isCharType(defs[j].getSQLType())) {
 String val = (String)r.getAttribute(j);
 String col = defs[j].getColumnName();
 if (val != null) {
 val = val.substring(0,val.length()-1);//return to normal
 System.out.println("Column: " + col);
 System.out.println("Value: " + val);
 r.setAttribute(j,val);
 return null;The problem is for some reason this does not quite work in 11g.
What is the best practice to achieve this functionality in 11g?

Or use a catsearch index or a contains index in your query. The will preform much better for large datasets as it doesn't do a full table scan.

How to make a search form with required items?

Hi
I am using JDeveloper 11.1.1.2 and JHeadstart 11.1.1.2.29
I want to make a Search-form for Searching Employees. I want to search for Last Name OR First Name OR Maximum Salary OR ( Combination ManagerID and DepartmentID). One of these is required.
On the view object for Employees, I defined a view criteria for the search.
In JHeadstart, I disable Quick Search and set Advanced Search to model-samePage and Advanced Search View Criteria to the view criteria I just defined.
But now, I can also personalize the Advanced Search. How can I disable this?
And is this the right way to create such a Search-form or do you have other suggestions?
Regards,

The model-based search is standard ADF functionality.
Jheadstart simply generate the search component on the page. There are a lot of addiitonal properties on af:query that you can set that we do not expose through the Jheadstart application definition editor.
You can create a custom template to set those additional properties.
See the af:query tag doc for more info:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12839_01/apirefs.1111/e12419/tagdoc/af_query.html

Problem with Two tab canvases in a form

Hi Experts,
I am working on Oracle forms 10g (OS: Windows7) from last 1 year. I have got a requirement to create a form with one tab canvas CAN_TAB (with 2 tab pages) in main page and a pop up tab canvas ASN_SPLIT_TAB(with 2 tab pages). Now the problem is whenever we click on tabs it will fire WHEN-TAB-PAGE-CHANGED trigger and executes the complete code. As a result even if i click a tab page in CAN_TAB canvas it will fire for ASN_SPLIT_CANVAS as well. Check the below code (WHEN-TAB-PAGE-CHANGED). Now i have to differentiate between two tab canvases so that i can use IF-ELSE statement to overcome this problem. Please share your useful comments.
BEGIN
Lv_Toppage := Upper(Get_canvas_property('CAN_TAB',Topmost_Tab_page));
if Lv_Toppage = 'LINES' THEN
go_item('shipment_summary.shipment_reference');
show_view('CAN_LINES');
show_view('CAN_SCROLL');
elsif Lv_Toppage = 'ATTRIBUTES' THEN
go_item('shipment_summary.shipment_reference');
show_view('CAN_ATT' );
elsif Lv_Toppage = 'AUDIT' THEN
go_item('shipment_summary.confirmedby');
show_view('AUDIT');
end if;
Lv_Toppage := Upper(Get_canvas_property('ASN_SPLIT_TAB',Topmost_Tab_page));
IF Lv_Toppage = 'INVOICE_SPLIT' THEN
show_view('ASN_SPLIT_STACK');
go_item('ASN_INBOUND_CATEGORY_SUMMARY.brand_representitive');
ELSIF Lv_Toppage = 'SUPPLIER' THEN
go_item('CONTROL.cancel_but');
END IF;
hide_view('ASN_SPLIT_STACK');
END;

Thanks Craig. You made it happen..!! Below code is working fine for me.
IF :SYSTEM.tab_new_page = 'LINES' THEN
go_item('shipment_summary.shipment_reference');
show_view('CAN_LINES');
show_view('CAN_SCROLL');
ELSIF :SYSTEM.tab_new_page = 'ATTRIBUTES' THEN
go_item('shipment_summary.shipment_reference');
show_view('CAN_ATT' );
ELSIF :SYSTEM.tab_new_page = 'INVOICE_SPLIT' THEN
END IF;

Reg - Search Form for a VO with group by clause

Hi,
I have a Bar graph that displays data based on the Query below.
SELECT STATUS.STATUS_ID AS STATUSID,STATUS.STATUS,COUNT(SR.SERVICEREQUEST_ID) AS SRCOUNT
FROM SERVICE_REQUEST SR ,SERVICEREQUESTSTATUS STATUS
WHERE SR.STATUS_ID = STATUS.STATUS_ID
GROUP BY STATUS.STATUS_ID,STATUS.STATUS,SR.STATUS_ID
It displays the count of SRs against a particular status.
Now I need to add a search form to this graph with customer and date range.
So we need to add the line below to the where clause.
"SR.CUSTOMER_ID = :customerId AND SR.REQUESTED_ON BETWEEN :fromDate and :toDate"
But the columns SR.CUSTOMER_ID, SR.REQUESTED_ON also need to be added to the select clause to create the View criteria for search panel.
The two columns should also need to be added to the group by clause if we are to add them in the select clause.
This would not produce the expected results.
How do I create a search form with the criterias applied only at the where clause.Please help.
With Regards,
Guna

The [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16162_01/apirefs.1112/e17483/oracle/jbo/server/ViewObjectImpl.html]ViewObjectImpl has methods for doing this programmatically (setQuery, defineNamedWhereClauseParam, setNamedWhereClauseParam) that you can use to manipulate the query, the bind variables expected, and the values for the binds.

Custom search form and custom results

Hi, everyone!
My problem is that I have to search for custom items with custom fields (attributes). So I have to create my own search form with necessary fields. Than the solution may be to call the portal30.wwsbr_search_api.submit_search procedure, but it renders it's own HTML result with advanced search form. That doesn't suit me. Searching for alternative API, I found portal30.wwv_searchdb.search function. I tried to use it, but in any case it fails with exception and error message "ORA-01403: no data found". From the previous messages I've discovered that there is custom search portlet in 9.0.2. But is it possible to solve my problem without these new features?
Thank you for your answers ;)
yk
P.S. Sorry for my English...

Yuriy,
I'm sorry but the portal30.wwv_searchdb.search api is not one of the public apis. There is no simple out of the box way to address your issue with release 1 of Oracle9iAS Portal (you'll have to wait for release 2 for that), but you could do some post processing of the HTML that gets returned from the search results screen and present that to your users. While it would take a little work it would probably give you the functionality you desire.
You would create a custom search screen, and have the submission call our api with the users values. Then process the results of that call (an HTML page) inside a procedure to finally present your own view of the data.
Good luck,
Rich
