Skinning Problem

Hi,
I am currently using a custom skin in my application, extending blafplus-rich skin and everything is working fine. I am able to skin whatever I need. The problem that I am having is when I use the custom skin the +/- icons disappear from my tree tables. I am not changing anything in the tree table and even if css file has no entries in it, the icons are not appearing. Has anyone come across this problem? Has anyone a solution?
Thanks,
Conor

Hi Frank,
I tried that but it was not successful, but I think I may have found the problem. We are currently keeping all images and skins etc under a resources directory, so in my project I have Web Content>resources>skins>css>myskin.css
When I use firebug to look at the icon it shows the following url:
background-image:url(/myapp/resources/afr/disclosure_collapsed.png);
It looks like it has put "resources" into the url, if I remove "resources" from the url using firebug the icon appears. Also, If I move the css file up to Web Content>skins>css>myskin.css then it works correctly.
Is it a requirement that new skins have to be in a skins directory under web content, or is there something else that I need to do so that this doesn't happen?
Any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Conor

ADF Faces skins problems using libraries

Hi,
I have been trying to use the tutorial on the following website:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/adfskins/index.html
This shows you how to create skins and things. The only problem is that I cannot see the view that is shown in the screenshot. I.e. I get a load of garbled gabage showing me the tags in the document instead of whats visually there.
I realise this is a problem with the library but everytime I try and set up the JSF and ADF libraries in the JSP Tag libraries of Tools->Manage Libraries I click the Execute Tags in JSP Visual Editor it lets me do it but then I click refresh on the window with sample.jspx in it and JDeveloper just dies.
The libraries I am using I have downloaded and followed the instructions on
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/howtos/10g/jsf_howto/jsf.html
To do the JSF libraries and I have followed the same instructions for the ADF libraries. If anyone has any idea I would be glad of the help
Cheers
Daniel

I tried the same example and it is working fine with me. May I know the JDeveloper version you are using?

Custom RH9 WebHelp skin: Problem opening PDF file from custom button

Hi, I've been troubleshooting and checking forums trying to figure out how to get a PDF file to open from a custom button on my WebHelp skin. It worked for me once upon a time, but I changed something in the document and tried to upload the new version and it has errored out ever since.
I want to have the ability to open the PDF in a new window from the custom button (called 'Printable PDF' on my skin), so I am using the following custom JavaScript in the 'Click On' field of the the custom button's components: window.open('print_test.pdf','printWindow','menubar=0,resizable=0,width=900,height=500,scr ollbars=1'); I know the script is good because I have the same script for the Support custom button and it works great. The only difference between those scripts is the Support script calls an .html file instead of a PDF and the window names says 'supportWindow' instead of 'printWindow'.
I've tried deleting and recreating the custom button, changing the JavaScript with a developer's help, generating the help on another machine thinking it was a glitch with my browser (using IE8) or RoboHelp license, and combing the help files numerous times. I've also ensured that the PDF file is stored in the skin and project folders along with the other project files/folders. I've used previous versions of RoboHelp and had no problems attaching a Word document and PDF, so I'm wondering if this is a bug in RH9?? Especially since it worked for me initially. Any assistance and/or fresh ideas are welcomed! Thank you!

Hello again
Happy I was able to help.
MOTW is only present and affects things when you are running content off your local C drive. It's value is in preventing that Yellow Information Bar and all that from appearing when you are using IE. Once you publish content to a server and access it that way you are in a different security zone and MOTW has no influence either way. So there would be no adantage to enabling it before publishing to a server. The only reason you might want to consider enabling it would be if you were copying the WebHelp to everyone's hard drive and having them run it from their hard drives.
Make sense?
Hope so... Rick

Instance specific skinning problem in Trinidad

In my project I am using Apache Trinidad( v1.2.4)+Jdev 11 TP3+JBoss 4.2.1.
I needed to set a skin on inputText components . In the skin CSS I wrote:
af|inputText::content{
background-color:Red;
Now in one inputText component on the page I needed a different style.
So I used the following
af|inputText::content.Change{
background-color:Green;
and put styleClass attriburte of that component as "Change".
But on rendering the page I could not find the change affecting the component.
It only affected the DOM of the inputText but not the content part.
I could ahve achieved the same thing using
.Change{
background-color:Green;
and setting styleClass="Change".
Am I missing out something??
Do I need to use FireBug to solve the problem??(I do not have it downloaded yet)

I think technical preview 2 does not yet support skinning of panelHeader. At least not to the level that you need. Looking at the skin documentation for this release, I see that panelHeader has very few selectors listed. Considering the complex appearance of that component there should be many more selectors. I would imagine that the next preview should have the skinning selectors documented and customizable.
Here's the documentation I was referring to:

[AS 2.0, components] skinning problems

Dear all
I'm trying to change skin of Accordion inside my custom
component, without luck so far.
I don't have problems with skinning accordion when it's on
scene, with:
import mx.controls.Accordion;
Accordion.prototype.falseUpSkin = "AccSkin";
Accordion.prototype.falseDownSkin = "AccSkin";
Accordion.prototype.falseOverSkin = "AccSkin";
Accordion.prototype.falseDisabled = "AccSkin";
Accordion.prototype.trueUpSkin = "AccSkin";
Accordion.prototype.trueDownSkin = "AccSkin";
Accordion.prototype.trueOverSkin = "AccSkin";
Accordion.prototype.trueDisabledSkin = "AccSkin";
Or something like that.
However when Accordion is inside my custom component it
doesn't work. Any hints?
P.S.
Accordion is a field inside component class, let's say:
var public myAccordion:Accordion, created inside
createChildren call.
I would love to change skin from movie, not inside component
class.

Not that I have seen. Use one or the other. Cant combine
those two..

Differences between Browserlab ie7 & ie developer tools browsermode: ie7 + onion skin problem

Hi,
I've just noticed display differences between what I see in browserlab for ie7 and what I see using ie9, but in browsermode:ie7. I would have thought they would show the same as both are supposed to represent what the webpage would look like in ie 7. Please can someone explain:
a) why they should be different,
b) which is the correct one.
Basically the Menu is perfect in BLab, but is floated left in browsermode:ie7.
There is nothing out of the ordinary in the code for this page, just html, css, a tiny bit of javascript & some php.
I am using windows 7 on a PC and the problem occurs if I use BLab through Firebug or directly from Dreamweaver.
The url is my old site that I am in the middle of updating, but I still get the same error with the new site that I am testing locally:
http://www.laughingrabbit.co.uk/
Kind regards
I am also having a problem with the onion skin feature, which I had about 2 months ago, but which then went when I deleted the cache and rebooted - no such luck this time.
When I try and show 2 browser views over each other, only one will show when I slide the slider bar making direct comparison impossible - both views stay the same as the one on the left.
eg try http://www.laughingrabbit.co.uk/contact.html The corners of the form should be rounded only in later versions of ie, as it isn't supported in earlier version.
It is the same either through the main BL interface or Dreamweaver.
I have tried closing down BL, deleting cache etc (the usual stuff), but it doesn't make any difference. I work on a PC.
Has anyone else had issue with this and if so, how did you solve it.
AND YES, I AM SLIDING THE SLIDER FROM LEFT TO RIGHT and all over, but ti makes no difference
regards
Bek

hi Mark, Here is one example, on my new site. I have used css3 to round the tabs in the navigation which works for FF5, but obviously not for ie7, but no matter how much I slide the slider accross the image (and the tabs) never change. i get the same whenever I try and use onionskin at the moment - the image doesn't change from the one on the left hand side. If I swapped FF5 & ie7 round (as per the image) then the rounded tabs change to square as you would expect in ie7, but don't change to rounded as you slide the slider to the FF5 side.
kind regards

Audacious, skin problem. Cannot start.

Hello.
I just installed Audacious player, but I cannot start it. When I try to run the player, I get the following error message:
Unable to load skin.
Check that skin at '(null)' is usable and default scin is properly installed at '/usr/share/audacious/Skins/Default'.
I have the default skin in /usr/share/audacious/Skins/Default directory. I do not know what the first part of the message means (Check that skin at '(null)' is usable...). Can someone give me a hand.
I do not know what else information to post. If you need to know anything for my system, I will post the info. I have Arch GNU/Linux Core Dump, kernel: 2.6.24-ARCH. The system is installed as "Basic", I am using fluxbox ... If you need anything else ...
Regards.

OT: I'm sorry. I just couldn't help laughing at the subject, which makes perfect sense within the Linux context but which sounds truly bizarre otherwise.

Af|selectManyChoice skinning problem

Hi all, we have been trying to modify the component af|selectManyChoice for a while now thru skinning to make it look a bit modern and smoother. We tried adding borders and such but unlike the af|selectOneChoice component, it is not following our code. Can you guys suggest how we can modify this component? For example, take the edges out. We usually do border-radius on other components and it all worked besides this component. We will greatly appreciate any help on this since we cant move forward by leaving this component behind because of uniformity.

Peter,
there is no easy solution to the. A LOV normally works only with on selected attribute. If you select more then one country the resulting query should use an IN clause (which is not available out of the box).
Jobinesh has blogged about a solution you can try:
http://jobinesh.blogspot.com/2010/09/using-bind-variable-for-sql-statements.html and http://jobinesh.blogspot.com/2010/12/using-oraclejbodomainarray-with.html
This may give you a starting point.

JDeveloper 10.1.3 EA1 and custom skin problem

It appears that my custom skin I created using ADF EA19 no longer works with JDev EA1. Is this a known issue, or is there something extra I have to do now to get my custom skin to work correctly?
The funny thing is that some of my custom images (e.g.. commandButton) work fine, but none of my color or font changes appear to work.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Oops, just 1/2 answered my own question.
Firefox appears to be caching something, as if you hit the refresh button, colours will change according to your css file modifications. Is there some sort of assumption by the browser that the css file will change rarely, so it doesn't check for a new version when the page is loaded?
However hitting the refresh button doesn't change the font to one of the random fonts on my system. Oddly it works in Internet Explorer though. Is that because IE knows my system fonts, while Firefox doesn't?
To change the font I added the following entry to the purpleSkin.css file:
.AFDefaultFontFamily:alias {font-family:Courier New;}Questions.... questions....

Problem to assign specific skin for sorted af:column

Hi,
Jdev 11.1.1.2.0
Doc http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/apirefs.1111/e15862/toc.htm says:
af|column::column-header-cell-content
Styles the content in a header cell. Available pseudo-classes are :sorted (when the column has been sorted). Typically you would use this to define a padding-right (with :ltr) or padding-left (with :rtl) so that the content shifts when the data is sorted to reduce the chance that the sort indicator obscures the header content.
--> there should be a pseudo class :sorted
I tried following:
af|column::column-header-cell-content:sorted
text-align: left;
background-color: yellow;
--> this gives "unknown pseudo class sorted" at design time (in CSS file) and at runtime this has no effect.
What may be wrong in this code?
Further I can't change the background of filter cells of columns:
af|column::column-filter-cell
background-color: blue;
---> no effect at runtime but no error at design time
regards
Peter

Hi,
my skinning problems has been solved by Oracle Support and Development:
1) "unknown pseudo class sorted": This is bug 9170772. The error is thrown in CSS editor at design time but at runtime it works as expected.
2) to style e.g. the background of all column filter fields use following skin selektor (containment definition) (note 974467.1 has been created by Oracle Support)
af|column::column-filter-cell af|inputText::content {
background-color: green;

Community Effort : ADF Faces Skinning Workflow Pattern

All,
in the Blog entry below, I started the outline of a skinning work flow that should help new skin developers to walk on a beaten path instead of wasting their time in heading into the wrong direction. This thread here is to gather community feedback - including yours - of what steps should be added to this flow. Note that this entry is not for discussing skinning problems but sharing what has helped you in the past to build new skins. Its all about methodology (sorry Chris, I should have posted this on the EMG first, maybe you guys can chime in). Just in case, if there is an ER you see for the skin editor, start your post with ER - but make sure you stay realistic and focused ;-)

Hi Frank,
A few questions, largely on ADF Skin Editor (Standalone) Vs JDeveloper R2
1. In the ADF Skin Editor(ASE), the Images section of the editor, for a skin, shows up a blank screen with below entry in logs
Dec 21, 2011 11:43:48 PM oracle.adfdtinternal.view.rich.skins.editor.imagizer.ImagesMetadata$DefaultColorProfileCache create
INFO: ImagesMetadata: calculating base color: 494 ms.
This works in JDeveloper R2 release though.
2. While trying to extend fusion.desktop screen, I have observed, the version of fusion-desktop.css in ASE is vastly different from the fusion-desktop.css in JDeveloper R2.
For instance : in R2's version of CSS I can not find the selectors for af|PanelBox light Background. (and thus missing the image files needed for light Background of a panelBox)
The combination of both 1 and 2 above is acting as a roadblock in my attempt to create a custom skin for one of the Customer POC's, need to generate image files with custom colors to be used largely in layout components.
Any help regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Table getting clipped after migrating from 10g to 11g

Hi We migrated our application from 10g to 11g, our application got converted to a trinidad application, skin details are follows:

The problem is when the page loads, the table in the page is shown in a small box (please check the image: http://files.oraclecorp.com/content/AllPublic/Users/Users-J/jaya.battaramvenkatanaga-Public/anonymous/tableclipped.JPG), I am not sure if this is skin problem or layout problem. Please let me know if there is any correction in skin details given above, other wise if lay out is the problem, please provide any documents regarding trinidad layouts.

Hi Jaya,
I think it's a layout problem, the table component or the outer component around the table is set to some default width value (300px?). Try setting the width explicitly to something larger, or see if you can use a stretchable layout component around the table.
If you post the code from your page here we might be able to say more.

Quicktime won't start or play .mov files

I have an interesting problem - Quicktime 7.4.1.14 shows that it's installed correctly via the Apple Quicktime troubleshooter, and it will play Quicktime movies inside my browser (Firefox), but when I click on the quicktime shortcut on the desktop or click on a .mov file on my PC, the program won't open - the system reacts and there's briefly an hourglass, but then nothing happens. There's nothing in the Windows XP event logs that indicates a problem.
Is there some way for me to get a log of what Quicktime is trying to do so I can at least try to fix the problem? I have removed my Temp directory and uninstalled and reinstalled Quicktime and iTunes several times, but that did not help. I do have Windows Media Player 11 and Nero 8 Ultimate installed, in case that provides any additional helpful information.
Thanks for any help ...

I have found the answer, and I hope it might be helpful to others. The problem was with a skinning program called WindowBlinds - if I exclude Quicktimeplayer.exe from being skinned, the program works just fine. Although the problem was not a security rights or "Deny" problem, using Runas to access another administrative login to run Quicktime did work around the problem; in fact, even if did a Runas using the same login where Quicktime wasn't working, that solved the problem - the Runas interface must somehow avoid the skinning problem or whatever specific environment or problem WindowBlinds is causing.
WindowBlinds is also causing some other programs, notably a few setup.exe files, to not execute in the same way - they try to start, and then abort with no error message - they just quit. When I unloaded WindowBlinds, they also started working again. A very strange and unintuitive problem and solution.

Trying to Burn a Blue Ray dics. Debating on Buying FCP package

I am new to Mac this year. I left the PC world because I thought Apple was supposed to be dominant on the video editing/authoring front. I learned how to Burn a blue ray disc about 1 year ago on a pc in about 1 day. Used My Sony Viao to import Sony HDR-HC3 footage. Edited with Vegas Movie Studio and Authored a yes......actual Blue Ray Disc with DVDit Pro HD. So simple; but slow. My laptop was one of the 1st to have a BR burner. So I bought a new desktop this year and switched to Apple. Why is this such a mystery to make a Blue Ray Disc with my new IMAC. And then I find that my FCE coverts my imported files to Apples AIC codec which are just huge files. This is so frustrating. I am not George Lucas or Steven Speilberg over here. I just want to burn my HD content to Blue Ray. I have waited a year for the technology to get better. Should I Go back to PC?? Should I put my HD Tapes away for another few years and see where technology is then? I am so frustrated. Any advice would be great. I will even pay the $1000 for FCPro. But from what I am reading out there I think I will end up regretting it. Everyone talks about burning your HD content back to DVD!!!! WHY!!!!!

First, the net doesn't have the infrastructure to support file sizes like that en mass.
10 years ago, the net didn't have the infrastructure to move significant video, now it streams it quite nicely. In 5 more years, it will stream most anything you want. Perhaps not in real time, but with a little buffering, it will easily work.
Let just put this rumor that we physical media will be obsolete in 10 years to bed right now.
Why? What real evidence can you put out there to support this premise other than giant media companies have a vested financial interest in maintaining the status quo. We know how well THAT has worked for <name your industry> where the world changed and they did nothing to stay ahead of it.
The Studios dictate what and how we will watch....period!
Yes, they do right now, and so did the record companies then. And now the record companies don't.
And whats wrong with Blu Ray? If you buy an HD set why not buy a BD player too. I waited too long for HD to come to the living room.
I'm still waiting for something worth watching to show up in my living room. Watching bad acting, indifferent lighting and skin problems writ large (which is the staple of most content) is not my idea of an enhanced viewing experience. A small screen (or YouTube) is a much better (more appropriate) venue for most of this stuff.
If I want a "cinema experience", I go to the cinema.
Enjoy your big screen.

Problem with skin in a server

I've created a skin for my project.. It works fine in embedded OC4J server. But when I deployed it on JBOSS server, my buttons' icons don't show... by the way and tree components' icons are hidden,.. instead oracle provides the default ones instead.. Where could be the problem?

Hi,
since all of your images don' show it seems either to be a general issue with images or a problem within your access path to the images. Lets continue this on your thread about buttons, which I asked a developer to have a look at.
