Sort worflows in drop down lists

Is it possible to sort workflows in shown in the down list in the sidekick ? Is there a property like the ranking property for templates ?

Yes, there is ranking property in template https://dev.day.com/docs/en/cq/current/developing/templates.html#Properties and Child Nodes of a Template
To display workflow list sorted you have to customize the drop down list and then sort it.

BUG: Sorting drop-down lists from the field tab when using "specify item values"

Hi all,
I've finished creating my form now, but I came across this whilst writing up my documentation for maintenance tasks.
This occurs when adding new values to a drop-down list that has the "Specify item values" checkbox in the binding tab checked.
When I then try to sort my list using the built in sort buttons, it will sort the items, but the list of specified values in the binding tab does not sort reorder to stay with the original items in the list. This is hapenning when I sort from the Object > Field tab. If I sort in the Object > Binding tab then the sort will include the specified values.
For example:
A    5
C    2
D    9
Add a new value to get:
A    5
C    2
D    9
B    10
Sort the list using the button:
A    5
B    2
C    9
D    10
But it should be:
A     5
B     10
C     2
D     9

I was able to duplicate this problem and it looks like a possible bug. I've submitted it to support.

Sorting a drop-down list in Content

Hello,
This may be a simple issue but I just started working with UCM and have a question. I have a metadata field that's populated using a drop-down list. Seems like the list is sorted based on the date and time I added the list values. I would like to sort the list alphabetically in ascending order based on the label in the view. I've looked all over the documentation but can't find this anyway.
Can anyone point me to the right solution?
Thanks.
Bigmc

Is this for a custom metadata field or one of the out of the box? if ootb, which field?
Where are you trying to find the information? I'm wondering where you're looking that you don't find it. It's documented in a few places in the "Managing Oracle WebCenter Content" document:

Sort my bookmarks in drop down lists in alphabetical order not just in Library Views

When I click on Bookmarks then select a folder to view its contents, I want to see those contents in alphabetical order By Name, not in the hpahazard order in which they were added. I know I can View them in the Library List in alphabetical order or change that to something else. But I want tp make the drop down list and the folder contents to be in alphabetical order all the time.

The Views menu in the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks) is for viewing the bookmarks in a different sorting order (hence the name Views) and doesn't sort bookmarks permanently.<br />
Clicking the column header does the same sorting for viewing purposes only.<br />
If you want to sort bookmarks then you need to right-click a folder and use "Sort By Name" to sort that folder.

How do I get my drop down lists in alphabetical order?

Got a new computer and installed Firefox 3.6.10. I moved over my bookmarks, etc. from the old computer. However, all of my drop-down lists are not in alphabetical order any more. And if I use one of the entries, it will sometimes move to a different order than it had been when I clicked on it. How do I get them back in alphabetical order?

The entries for form field are in current Firefox version is the order that you add them and not ordered alphabetically.<br />
Maybe an extension like Autofill Forms can sort them.
I'm not using it, so you need to check that yourself.

How do I get the location bar drop-down list to show the most recently visited page at the top? I have no idea how it's deciding what to display.

In IE when you show the drop-down list from the location bar, it show you all of your most recently visited pages in descending order with the most recent at the top. Firefox is showing me a list that I have no idea where it's getting the pages from or how it's ordering them. It doesn't update the pages or the order when I go to a new page. I have recently switched from IE to Firefox and cannot figure out how to get Firefox to do this; very annoying.

That drop down list doesn't show recently visited pages, but shows list list of most visited sites sorted by what the Mozilla devs call frecency (frequency and recency) and is based on bonus points. It is not possible to have much influence on what shows on that list.
If you want a list of recently visited sites then you can use a smart bookmark e.g. on the Bookmarks Toolbar with the location set to this smart folder.<br />
Name: <b>Recently Visited</b><br />
Location: <b>place:queryType=0&sort=4&maxResults=30</b><br />
You need to close and restart Firefox to make that folder work as intended.

To pass the selected data to a variable from the drop down list in abap wd

Hi,
I have already created a drop down list and populated it with data from table by using the node and linking it with the internal table. Now I need to know which element is selected so based on that I need to perform some function. eg. based on the selected data , i need to populate the next drop down list.
A demo code will be really helpful.
Thanks and Regards
Tenzin

Hi,
On selcting the value from the drop down, we have one event ONSELECT.
Write the code in this event.
Get the attribute value to lV_xxxxxx using get attribute.
then using that you can fill the next DDBK attribute.
method wddoinit .
data:
        lo_nd_spfli type ref to if_wd_context_node,
        lo_el_spfli type ref to if_wd_context_element,
        ls_spfli type wd_this->element_spfli.
data:
      lv_carrid LIKE ls_sflight-carrid,
         itab_carrid type wd_this->elements_spfli,
         wa_carrid type wd_this->element_spfli,
         lo_nodeinfo_spfli type ref to if_wd_context_node_info,
         lt_value_set type wdy_key_value_table,
         ls_value_set type wdy_key_value.
lo_nd_spfli = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_spfli ).
lo_nodeinfo_spfli = lo_nd_spfli->get_node_info( ).
select carrid
    from spfli
    into corresponding fields of table itab_carrid.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    sort itab_carrid by carrid.
    delete adjacent duplicates from itab_carrid comparing carrid.
endif.
loop at itab_carrid into wa_carrid.
    ls_value_set-key = wa_carrid-carrid.
    ls_value_set-value = wa_carrid-carrid.
    append ls_value_set to lt_value_set.
endloop.
lo_nodeinfo_spfli->set_attribute_value_set( name = 'CARRID'
value_set = lt_value_set ).

in the event of first DDBK, write the select statement wsing where condition of lv_XXX.
and append the record as above.

Triggering "exit" event of a drop-down list in all instances of a table row

I have a drop-down list in a table row with multiple instances that performs a calculation on the exit event. This calculation draws information from 2 other dropdown lists contained above in non-repeating rows of the same table.
The desired behavior is: should the user change their choices above, all instances of the drop-down list below would perform the "Exit" event script accessing the new values above.
My script is:
RowOptionalCoverage.DdlCoverageType.execEvent("exit");     this works, sort of
It only updates the first instance of RowOptionalCoverage and none of the subsequent instances. The user can "Tab" through the instances and trigger the Exit event for each instance, but this is not a reasonable solution.
I have tried using the resolveNodes method without success. I understand, using the resolveNodes method may be necessary when referencing multiple instances of an object:
this.resolveNodes("RowOptionalCoverage[*].DdlCoverageType[*]").execEvent("exit");     doesn't work
xfa.resolveNodes("RowOptionalCoverage[*].DdlCoverageType[*]").execEvent("exit");      doesn't work
No doubt, I must be using the resolveNodes incorrectly or missing something? Probably something simple.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

PERFECT!!! Works right out of the box!
This has opened my eyes to the essential nature of loops. My form is very large and complex and functions correctly, Yet the coding is lacking in sophistication--no loops, functions, fragments or other code efficiencies. I am teaching myself (with the help here) and I have skipped learning and using some techniques when I could things to work using the limited skill set I have.
Sometimes, I just don't "get it". After I fail a few times, I skip it and try something else. Functions are a great example. I could utilize a bunch of these if I could only write one that works. It is frustrating. If I got one to work, I know could write a ton of them. But, there is some essential part of functions I am missing that's preventing me from having my first success with them. (I think it has to do with not understanding arguments completely).
Anyway, I am overjoyed with the solution you provided and I understand it well enough to be able to use again in other situations.
Thanks again!

Webdynpro " How to add values in Drop down list By Key"

Hi experts ,
i want to create a drop down list by key, i don't know how to assign values to it ( i.e. add list entries ) . Please help me on this ..
With regards ,
James..
Valuable answers will be rewarded ....

Hi,
To fix values to the drop down key at runtime in the webdynpro application you can use the following code:
DATA:
lr_node_flightinfo TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node,
lr_nodeinfo_flightinfo TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node_info,
l_scarr type scarr,
lt_value_set TYPE TABLE OF wdr_context_attr_value,
lw_value_set like line of lt_value_set.
get nodeinfo of node flightinfo
lr_node_flightinfo = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'FLIGHTINFO' ).
lr_nodeinfo_flightinfo = lr_node_flightinfo->get_node_info( ).
get value set (VALUE = CARRID , TEXT = CARRNAME)
select carrid carrname from scarr into table lt_value_set.
clear lw_value_set.
lw_value_set-value = 'AI'.
lw_value_set-text = 'Air India'.
append lw_value_set to lt_value_set.
sort the value set by the describing TEXT
SORT lt_value_set BY text.
set value to context attribute
lr_nodeinfo_flightinfo->set_attribute_value_set(
name = 'CARRID' value_set = lt_value_set ).
Here CARRID is a drop down by key field on the screen.
in The context it is an attribute in the node FLIGHTINFO.
Please give Reward Points if this piece of code helps

Manish

UI - How to make Columns in a Drop Down List Selection?

I am altering a code from Peter Kahrel "Beginning Script UI". I am trying to make a searchable drop down list that will have 4 columns. So far, the search works and I have headings in the search, but I cannot seem to make the columns for the actual data. I believe I need to change the type_ahead since the array is looking at this data. I'm stuck in the water. Can someone tell me what I need to do to get the list to show up as columns? How do I turn the picked = type_ahead data into four columns? Code and Screenshot below:
picked = type_ahead (["bat", "bear", "beaver", "bee", "cat", "cats_and_dogs",
"dog", "maggot", "moose", "moth", "mouse"]);
function type_ahead (array)
var w = new Window ("dialog", "Quick select");
var entry = w.add ("edittext", [0, 0, 800, 22]);
entry.active = true;
var list = w.add ("listbox", [0, 0,800, 500], "",
{numberOfColumns: 4, showHeaders: true,
columnTitles: ["Non-Approved Word", "Approved Alternative", "Approved Use", "Non-Approved Use"], columnWidths: [200,200,200,200]});
list.selection = 0;
entry.onChanging = function ()
var temp = this.text;
list.removeAll ();
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
if (array[i].toLowerCase().indexOf (temp) == 0)
list.add ("item", array[i]);
if (list.items.length > 0)
list.selection = 0;
entry.onChange = function () {w.close (1)}
if (w.show () != 2)
return list.selection.text;
else
w.close ();

Hi Peter,
This is one of those developments that push the limits of my knowledge-base and when things do that, I lose sleep until I figure it out. With that said :-) here is where I have ended up.
Basically I made a new array for the table data. I then use an array lookup to sort the array in the listbox based on the 0 array item. See the code below. Once it is loaded type in "b" and the list will start to sort.
I need to try to get this to work as a pallete instead of a dialog box. Do palletes support this type of functionality?
var newarray = new Array(
new Array('Butterfly ','has wings','can fly'),
new Array('bohemith moth','has wings','cannot fly very good'),
new Array('word 3','replacement word','use case'));
picked = type_ahead (newarray);
function type_ahead (array)
var w = new Window ("dialog", "STE Checker");
var entry = w.add ("edittext", [0, 0, 800, 22]);
entry.active = true;
var list = w.add ("listbox", [0, 0,800, 500], "",
{numberOfColumns: 3, showHeaders: true,
columnTitles: ["Column 1", "Column 2", "Column 3" ], columnWidths: [200,200,400]});
list.selection = 0;
entry.onChanging = function ()
var temp = this.text;
list.removeAll ();
for (var i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
if (array[i][0].toLowerCase().indexOf (temp) == 0)
with (list.add ("item", array[i][0]))
subItems[0].text = array[i][1];
subItems[1].text = array[i][2];
if (list.items.length > 0)
list.selection = 0;
entry.onChange = function () {}
if (w.show () != 2)
return list.selection.text;
else
w.close ();

Display pages that reacts to different values in the drop down list.

I currently did up a simple drop down list that stores values retrieved from the database. I would like the program to display pages that reacts to the selected value without the press of any button, which means, if I select any value from the drop down list, the page will be displayed according to the value selected.
Below are the codes that I did for the retrieval of data from the database.
<%
        String username = "test";
        String password = "test";
        String thinConn = "jdbc:oracle:thin:@dbdev:1521:ORCL";
        Connection conn;
        Statement stm;
        ResultSet rs;
        String baseQuery ="SELECT DISTINCT ID FROM STAFF ORDER BY ID ASC";
        try {
            conn = DriverManager.getConnection(thinConn,username,password);
            stm = conn.createStatement();
            rs = stm.executeQuery(baseQuery);
%>
<strong>Retrieve ID from Database</strong>
    <select size="1" name="dropdown">
    <%
    while (rs.next()) {
        String id = rs.getString("ID");
        out.write("<option value=\"" + id + "\">" + "level " + id + "</option>");
                conn.close();
            } catch (SQLException e) {
    %>
    </select>Would appreciate if someone might offer some help to what I have to do next

How do I pass a username form variable from a drop down list/menu to another page?

Hi,
I have a login_success.php page that has a drop down list/menu (which lists usernames). I want the user to click on their user name, and when they click the submit button the username information to be passed over to the username.php page which will contain a recordset, sorted by username.
How do I pass the username info from the drop down list/menu to the username.php page?
The drop down menu is connected to a recordset listUsername, I have filtered the recordset with the Form Variable = username, and I have used the POST method to send the username to the page username.php. I'm not sure how to structure the php or which page to place it on.
<form id="form1" name="form1 method="post" action="username.php">
     <label for="username_id">choose username:</label>
     <select name="username_id" id-"username_id">
          <option value="1">username1</option>
          <option value="2">username2</option>
          <option value="3">username3</option>
          <option value="4">username4</option>
     </select>
     <input type="submit" name="send" id="send" value="Submit" />
     <input type="username" type="hidden" id="username" value="<?php echo $row_listUsername['username']; ?>" />
</form>
Could somebody help me please?
Thanks.

I would not post the variable over, In this case I personally would send it through the URL and use the $_GET method to retreve it. For Example.
<html>
     <head>
          <title>Test Page</title>
          <script type="text/javascript">
               function userID(){

                    var user = form1.userIDs.options[form1.userIDs.selectedIndex].value;
                    window.location = "test.html?userID=" + user;
          </script>
     </head>
     <body>
          <form id="form1">
               <select name="userIDs" id="userIDs" onchange="userID();">

                    <option value="1">User 1</option>

                    <option value="4">User 4</option>
               </select>
          </form>

How do I add rows to a drop down list. I am using Excel 2008

I am trying to incorporate added rows into a drop down list and am having no luch. Any suggestions?

Any of this help?
Enter the items for your drop-down list into a list on the worksheet, one item per cell. In this example, I'll assume that the month names start in cell E1 and extend down to E12, but they can be in any out-of-the-way location on the worksheet. In Excel terminology, a rectangular group of cells (such as E1 to E12) is called a range.
Select the cell that will contain the drop-down list. If you'd like more than one cell to display the same list, just select them all now rather than setting them up one at a time. (Click and drag to select a range; hold down Ctrl while you click to select non-adjacent cells.)
Choose Data, Validation to display the Data Validation dialog box.
Click the Settings tab.
In the Allow field, select List.
In the Source field, specify the range that contains the list items. In this example, the items are in cells E1 to E12, so type =E1:E12 into the field.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/141573
NOTE You cannot create a list in a shared workbook. You must remove the workbook from shared use first if you want to create a list.
Every column in the list has AutoFilter enabled by default in the header row. AutoFilter allows you to filter or sort your data quickly.
The dark blue border around the list clearly distinguishes the range of cells that makes up your list.
The row that contains an asterisk is called the insert row. Typing information in this row will automatically add data to the list and expand the border of the list.
A total row can be added to your list. When you click a cell within the total row, a drop-down list of aggregate functions becomes available.
You can modify the size of your list by dragging the resize handle found on the bottom corner of the list border.

Selection in a drop-down list

          Hi,
          is there a way in HTML or DHTML or Javascript or ActionScript to implement
          this:
          in a HTML page, I have a drop-down sorted list:
          <SELECT NAME="Code" size="1" >
          <OPTION VALUE="All">All
          <OPTION VALUE="AACC" SELECTED>AACC
          <OPTION VALUE="ABCDD">ABCDD
          <OPTION VALUE="ABK">ABK
          <OPTION VALUE="BCCC">BCCC
          <OPTION VALUE="CABC">CABC
          <OPTION VALUE="CBBB">CBBB
          <OPTION VALUE="DACA">DACA
          </SELECT>
          If I press the letter A, the drop-down list points directly to the first
          value in the list that
          starts with an 'A' ==> AACC
          If I press the letter C, the drop-down list points directly to the first
          value in the list that
          starts with an 'C' ==> CABC
          What i want is the possibility to type a second letter:
          If I press the letter A, the drop-down list points directly to the first
          value in the list
          of values starting with an 'A' ==> AACC and if i press 'B', this should
          point to 'ABCDD',
          and again if i press a third letter 'K', this should point to 'ABK'.
          How do i do this ? (in HTML or DHTML or Javascript or ActionScript or even
          Java/JSP/Servlet ?
          thanks


Yes there is no XTYPE default
But you can develope your own xtype , see example

How can I increase the number of Tags displayed in Drop down list?

When I go to Bookmarks/Tags, there are only 10 tags displayed. I have created at least 15 tags.
Is there a way to increase the number of Tags displayed in the Drop down list?
Thanks

Do you mean "Recent Tags" which has an icon a blue-colored folder with a primitive looking magnifying glass over the folder?
That folder does have a limit of 10 results. If you want to create an "All Tags" item on the Boomarks Menu, you can do that by creating your own "smart folder." The process I use is a little involved, so bear with me (also, see the screen shots).
The query used by Recent Tags is:
place:type=6&sort=14'''&maxResults=10'''
So for All Tags we will drop the maximum results limit:
place:type=6&sort=14
''If you prefer your tags in alphabetical order instead of having the most recently used at the top, use this instead:''
place:type=6&sort=1
Go ahead and select the line you want and right-click > copy it.
Next, click the bookmarks drop-down button, expand the Bookmarks Toolbar, right-click any existing item, and choose New Bookmark.
In Location, paste the query, and in name, type All Tags (or your preferred description). When you click Add Bookmark, Firefox will add it, but it doesn't show the blue search folder icon. Drag the bookmark to the menu, and it will turn into a functioning search folder.
Success?
