Showing TaskFlow as PopUp in Jdev 11.1.1.5.0

Hi,
I am showing TaskFlow as popup and while entering popup TaskFlow,
keeping following transaction setting
Always Use Existing Transaction
Share data control with calling task flow
Create a save point on task flow entry
On Task flow page, I have Ok and Cancel button.
If User clicks on Cancel, I am restoring to save point and retuning from TaskFlow.
If user clicks on Ok, i am just returning from TaskFlow.
Every thing works fine but once in a while, I am facing HTTP 500 error on TaskFlow popup.
I don't have enough logs also to analyze.
If any one comes across this problem, please help me.
Note: every time control enters to popup TaskFlow, TaskFlow get passivates.
Thnaks...

I got some logs and I have seen similar issue in many threads but no Solution.
Please let me know if solution exists or SR raised for this.

Hi Frank,
I am looking for a solution to develop a popup as a template or component in ADF since our app uses lots of popups. I try to build own buttons, like SAVE, APPLY, and CANCEL buttons.
I have listened to many of your video and code corners. The following video shows the java controlled popup. It invokes a page fragment in the popup. The questionis : can this method used to popup a taskflow ?
http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/jdeveloper/11gdemos/ADF_Insider_Essentials/AdfFacesDialogOkCancelHandling/AdfFacesDialogOkCancelHandling.html
I have two task flows, popup-parent-taskflow.xml and popup-taskflow.xml.
The managed bean in popup-parent-taskflow.xml binds to the popup and table. The managedBean is in the Request scope
The managed bean defined in the popup-taskflow.xml can't access to the popup and table. How is the table get refreshed ?
"There is a pattern that explains how to do similar with Page Fragments, but honestly this is quite a lot of coding and doesn't allow your task flow to decoratively return values."
Could you explain this statement ? Is this example you talked about ?
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/adf/learnmore/39-taskflow-in-popup-169181.pdf
I would appreciate if you could suggest a best way to do popup for my case and provide the example for it.
Thank you !

How to show a waiting popup until execution of command is done

Sometimes the serach takes a lot of time due to criteria entered.
I want to be able to display a first popup with a message "executing ..." to notify the user that the query is running
and then when wok is done show the result popup.
Any hints

Hi,
there also exists a native glasspane that you call from JavaScript
function queueEvent(event)
event.cancel(); // cancel action event
var source = event.getSource();
var params = {};
var type = "customListener";
var immediate = true;
var isPartial = true;
var customEvent = new AdfCustomEvent(source, type, params, immediate);
customEvent.preventUserInput();
customEvent.queue(isPartial);
}You reference this from a clientListener on a button for the action event

Show the custom popup window on clicking the people name in sharepoint people search result

Show the custom popup window on clicking the people name in sharepoint people search result
We are doing the below code to open a popup but while clicking on name link its postback the page and not opening the popup in first click but opening in second click.The same issue occurs while navigate to second page using pagination

ctx.OnPostRender = [];

event.preventDefault();
$('#fadeout').show();
$('#pop1').find('.tab-content-people').html($(this).closest('.emp-card').find('.pop-content').html());
$('#pop1').show();
return false;

I believe the issue is that you are not actually searching against the result source you made in step #1.
It's not enough to make a result source, you have to tell the search results web part to use it.
Try this:
1. Go to the Pages library of Search Center
2. Create a new Search Results page
3. Edit the page, then edit the search results web part
4. Change the source for the search results web part to your source
5. Add the page to your Search Center navigation
6. Run the search on that page

Catching browser close event and showing my own popup

Hi,
I want to show my own warning popup on browser close event. Kindly help me with the solution.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Lavanya.

Lavanya,
I don't think you could show a ADF Popup during the onload event. Instead, you could use javascript's confirm method to prompt the user to choose what they want to do and perform that operation accordingly.
Ex :
jspx code
   <af:document id="d1" onunload="performUnloadEvent" clientComponent="true">
            <af:resource type="javascript">
              // For Mozilla and Firefox
              if(window.addEventListener){
              window.addEventListener('beforeunload', function (event) {
                showConfirm();
              // For IE
              else if(window.attachEvent){
                   window.attachEvent('onbeforeunload', function (event) {
                showConfirm();
              function showConfirm(){
                      var eventSource = AdfPage.PAGE.findComponentByAbsoluteId('d1');
                      var sel = confirm("Are you sure you want to exit?");
                    if(sel==true){
                        alert('Perform OK Operation');
                        var x = AdfCustomEvent.queue(eventSource, "handleOnUnload", {result : 'ok'},false);
                        var y = 0;
                    else {
                    alert('Perform Cancel Operation');
                     var x = AdfCustomEvent.queue(eventSource, "handleOnUnload", {result : 'cancel'},false);
                     var y = 0;
            </af:resource>
            <af:serverListener type="handleOnUnload" method="#{UnloadHandler.onUnloadHandler}"/>
            <af:form id="f1" clientComponent="true">
            </af:form>
        </af:document>onUnloadHandler method in bean
    public void onUnloadHandler(ClientEvent clientEvent) {
        System.out.println("Unload Event fired..");
        String outcome = clientEvent.getParameters().get("result").toString();
        if(outcome.equalsIgnoreCase("ok")){
            System.out.println("Outcome is OK ");
            // Perform some operation like Commit;
        else if(outcome.equalsIgnoreCase("cancel")){
            System.out.println("Outcome is Cancel ");
            // Perform some cleanup operation like Rollback;

Task flow-call as a Dialog with inline-popup issue JDev 11.1.1.2.0

I have a very serious issue with task flow-call running as a Dialog with inline-popup
have bunch of data driven table components pointing to pageDefs with Iterators
the problem is, the dialog comes first with nothing in it (blank) and it takes 3-5 seconds to fetch all views,
this is useless, there is no option to control taskflow-call activation , like you do for af:region
For reference : I am talking about this : http://jobinesh.blogspot.com/2010/08/refresh-parent-view-when-in-line-popup.html
Download the workspace , connect as HR Schema and you will see what I am talking about
looks really dumb, it would make sense to show dialog with data all at once, rarther than looking at blank screen to wait for the data to show up
Edited by: user626222 on Sep 20, 2010 8:57 AM
can I call this a bug?
Edited by: user626222 on Sep 20, 2010 1:58 PM
sometimes I wonder if anyone tested this, as soon as you have some data driven components on your page, you get all sorts of problems in ADF
But something simple, Adf client side invokes the Dialog as a popup first, and then it thinks oh ya I get massive pageDef to load, so end-user customer will stare at the blank screen for 10 secs , hoping that something will come up or program is crashed
Well, I am afraid to say you lost your customer :(

Hide close icon from taskflow inline popups / process window closure

Hi OTN,
I would like to know of there is an opportunity to hide "X" close icon from popup window when I run a taskflow in a popup as an inlineDocument?
Or what is a preferred way to process user window closure to rollback changes?
In my current application a user always has Cancel button which sets taskflow return parameter as "Cancel" which is then read by dialog return listener.
The listener would call Rollback if there is "Cancel" returned.
But "X" close doesn't set any parameter.
Maybe I sould set "Cancel" as a default return parameter value? Or the right way is to use finalizer?
Please, advice me.
Thanks.

You have to define and apply a custom skin. It is easy, read the documentation here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/web.1111/b31973/af_skin.htm#BAJFEFCJ
You can get detailed description of all the supported skin selectors here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E14571_01/apirefs.1111/e15862/toc.htm#ComponentLevelSelectors
Note, that <tt>af|dialog::close-icon-style {display:none;}</tt> will affect all the popup dialogs, but not only the taskflow popup windows. If you need to apply it only to taskflow popup windows, then use <tt>af|panelWindow::close-icon-style{ display:none; }</tt>. Have a look at Frank's blog post http://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/2010/12/how-to_hide_the_close_icon_for_task_flows_opened_in_dialogs.html.

How to make mouseover effect text show image in popup window or tooltip?

I am trying to display a popup image in a new window when the mouse moves over some text. Or perhaps, the image could display in a tooltip when the mouse moves over some text.
However, I have achieved the functionality of an image appearing above the text when the mouse moves over some text. This is how I did this:
I put this code into the Page HTML Header:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
I created a region and put this in the Region's Title field:
{div onmouseover="setFirstChildImgDisplay(this,'inline')" onmouseout="setFirstChildImgDisplay(this,'none')">Check out Page 1 here <img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#DGNR Preview Page 1.bmp" alt="Page 1 Preview" style="display:none;">{/div}
I am thinking that I should not have all of this code in the Region's Title field. But, I don't know where else to put it in APEX.
So my questions are:
1. how to get an image to display in a popup window or as a tooltip when the mouse is moved over some text?
2. where should the {div} content be placed in APEX, if not in the Title field?
Please note that I used '{' & '}' instead of '<' & '>' just so the div would display in this post.
Also, I would like to give credit to this website because this is where I found out how to do what I have provided above.

Thank you in advance,

It's just an image map. Play with the settings. Here's a shape layer making a hole in the water and adding a bit of color.

Showing non-modal popup in overlay of browser.xul - on Windows

Hi. I've got a custom Firefox add-on in plain Javascript. It to overlays Firefox's browser.xul (via chrome.manifest) by an XUL file, where I would like to show a non-modal popup (or some kind of non-intrusive notification).
I've tried following three options from https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Add-ons/Code_snippets/Alerts_and_Notifications:
1.
Components.classes['@mozilla.org/alerts-service;1'].
getService(Components.interfaces.nsIAlertsService).
showAlertNotification(null, 'Some title', 'Some message', false, '', null);
2.
var win = Components.classes['@mozilla.org/embedcomp/window-watcher;1'].
getService(Components.interfaces.nsIWindowWatcher).
openWindow(null, 'chrome://global/content/alerts/alert.xul',
'_blank', 'chrome,titlebar=no,popup=yes', null);
win.arguments = [null, 'Some title', 'Some message', false, ''];
3.
var message = 'Another pop-up blocked';
var nb = gBrowser.getNotificationBox();
var n = nb.getNotificationWithValue('popup-blocked');
if(n) {
n.label = message;
} else {
var buttons = [{
label: 'Button',
accessKey: 'B',
popup: 'blockedPopupOptions',
callback: null
Neither of them works on Windows. The first two work on Linux (Fedora 20 x64). Neither of them generates any error either.
Please, suggest how/where to do that, or how to 'schedule it' (as an even handler to a system event, I suppose) from my overlay of browser.xul.

I think you would have a better chance of getting comments from experienced add-on developers on one of these sites:

Af:popUp close when click outside popup area, Jdev 12c

Hi! I had a similar post a long time ago and it became archived due to lack of time from my part, it was never answered
the problem is:
1)Popup without dialog tag: closes when a click is made outside the popup area.
2)Popup with a dialog tag: doesn't close when clicked outside the popup area
I'd like to be able to let the user close the popup(with dialog) when he/she clicks outside the popup area.
Thanks!

User, which jdev version do you use?
Why don't you use the popup without the dialog then?
Can't be too hard to put some buttons ontp the popup.

Show F4 Help Popup

Hi all,
i) I have an F4 Help Popup working for vendor. It's shown in a table view for line items of a service ticket, so my code is in the iterator
*set input field and F4 help to the Partner field in table
strA = 'ShowF4KeyAndValueHelp2(' .
CONCATENATE 'myFormId(''' p_cell_id '''),' INTO strB.
strC = ' ''CRMT_PRIL_QUERY_ICWEB_MAIN-VENDOR_ID'')'.
CONCATENATE strA strB strB strC INTO strF.
col_vendor->showHelp = 'TRUE'.
col_vendor->onvaluehelp = strF.
p_replacement_bee = col_vendor.
However I can't get it to work for product_id - a popup comes up that is just a blank white box.
The code is the same above and I've tried
str4 = ' ''COMM_PRODUCT-PRODUCT_ID'')'.
str4 = ' ''COMT_PRODUCT_DATA-PRODUCT_ID'')'.
str4 = ' ''CRMT_PRIL_QUERY_ICWEB_MAIN-PRODUCT_ID'')'.
ii) I've seen the weblogs on creating a show help popup ffrom scratch - which I may have to do in the end - but do you have any control over this ShowF4KeyAndValueHelp2 popup (eg like limiting the results shown to business partners of role vendor, etc)
Cheers
David

Hello Ravi,
I think I have to explain via screenshot. When opening the input help by default the user gets the view 'history', in this example for fiscal year / period:
For some users it's confusing that within the history the periods are mixed up and some are 'missing' (indeed they are not missing but weren't used yet).
So by default I would like to bring up the setting 'single values' when opening the input help:
I hope it's more clearly now.
Thank you very much!

This first showed up for me in Mavericks 10.9.3, and was not fixed in 10.9.4. Neither was a beta version. Updating to a later version of the OS also fails to resolve this suggesting that perhaps it is the iCloud authentication server that is broke -AGAIN!
Unfortunately the Apple helpdesk knows nothing of this issue, or are trying to keep lit under wraps.
My guess is that some of the downloads from Software Update are in fact experimental builds, Noting that is some countries Apple is playing with two factor authentication, perhaps we have been hit by a build that is trying out an alternative authentication method, that simply keeps failing. Though perhaps it is geolocation triggered, as doing a clean install achieves no improvement.
ICloud, which I prefer to call iClod still has bugs, but unfortunately those best able to fault find the authentication system are not available to users, so getting this bug fixed will involve further contributions from more clued up users.
Unfortunately it seems that the failure manifests in several ways, with at least 3 different, but cryptic seemingly random dialogue boxes appearing in response to entered passwords, and also no apparent response at all, i.e., no change.
What is odd is that one can be successfully signed in to iCoud, able to manage ones account, but unable to successfully verify ones password in the preference pane. Looking deeper in the console loads there is reference to a file not being able to be written. So is this a permissions issue, or is the preferences file to be written missing from the bundle from the iCloud bundle.
And even more oddly when one intentionally enters an incorrect password in the password verification dialogue, iCloud seems to correctly identify it as an incorrect password, suggesting that iCloud recognises a correct password but then fails to complete the verification transaction.
Note this iCloud preference pane userID password verification process is not documented anywhere that I have been able to discover. Is it another inadvertent FEATURE of OS X that was mostly deprecated because it did't work as expected?
One day Apple will wake up and instigate a dedicated iCloud help call centre tasked to ensure that all users have access to this service which has become intrinsic to ownership and use of a Mac.
