Sticky hide show - application

Dear all,
I justed installed the sticky hide show - application to take advantage of the ajax and dhtml logic, but when I try to run the application or single pages I always get the ORA-01722: invalid number error message and I don't know the reason for that. My apex version is compatible with this demo version.
Thanks
Jens

Hi. Sorry post not clear - is exactly the same issue - get 'ORA-01722: invalid number'. on one ApEx installation but not on another. In fact this applies to the demo app that downloads from OTN for the sticky windows as well as our app after adding the "sticky" functionality.
Mentioned page 101 as this is a system generated page (easily allows reproduction of the error in a test app) and this localises the 'ORA-01722 error in the process added as part of the sticky show-hide implementation. The only element of the "sticky" implemented by this point in the (first) app page is the application process triggered at page "On Load". See my post:
If you set the app to use the Application Express authentication scheme and
then run it, you get the error on page 101, followed by the process error
message inserted for the SHOW_HIDE_OUTPUT "On Load" process. This
implies the problem is in the show_hide_collection_output procedure in the
package.You can check out the show_hide_collection_output procedure in the package using the apex object browser or sql*developer - its the one called at the point the error is generated.. The installed package supporting the sticky implementation is called "show_hide_memory"

Sticky Hide/Show example

I downloaded the sample code for Sticky Hide Show regions. In general, I understand the concept and how things are supposed to work. I read the step-by-step instructions and am now stuck on the second half of step four.
The step 4 instructions read:
<i>"When the application you are now viewing was installed, the proper javascript was uploaded into #WORKSPACE_IMAGES# and can now be used by any application in this workspace. If you want to use this functionality in other workspaces, the apex_show_hide_region.js should be moved onto the file system and then linked appropriately."</i>
I want to use this functionality in another workspace and in another database. But, I have almost no exerience with javascript and I don't understand what this statement means: <i><b>"the apex_show_hide_region.js should be moved onto the file system and then linked appropriately."</i></b>
Could someone spell that out in simple terms for me? I would greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks, Todd

Hello,
What it's saying is if you have access to the webservers filesystem (ftp / webdav / shared folders) it's usually better to put the javascript there instead of uploading it up into the WORKSPACE_IMAGES repository.
Lets say you do have access and you create a directory under the images directory "custom_js" and upload the "apex_show_hide_region.js" to it then you would rewrite the link to
<script src="#IMAGE_PREFIX#custom_js/apex_show_hide_region.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

APEX Hide/Show Keep Expanded or Collapsed Upon Form Submit

Hello all,
I have a hide/show region that I'd like to keep expanded after clicking expand, entering something in a search entry box and clicking "Go". When the page refreshes, with the report results, I'd like the hide/show region to remain expanded. And I don't want it to collapse unless the user explicitly collapses it.
I tried working with Carl Backstrom's Sticky Hide/Show code but I'm afraid that
A) It seems to have been designed to work well with multiple pages (which I'm not necessarily trying to do ... I've only got one page I'm working with in this instance), and
B) Template 20 (the one I am working with) seems to be somewhat (very?) different from Template 18 (the last template I see that Carl provided example edits for).
So ... has anyone else tried this? Or is there a website or blog entry or forum thread I could look at that would provide me with the starting point for the direction I'd like to go with this?
Any information or advice you can provide would be most appreciated.
Kind regards,
Melanie

I have the same issue - did you ever come up with a solution?
Thanks, Stephen

Sticky hide and show not working

I believe I have followed Carl Backstrom's Sticky Hide and Show Region example to the letter for my own application.
1 - I have the application items and application processes in place.
2 - I have the javascript in the HTML Header attribute
3 - The SHOW_HIDE_MEMORY package is in place
4 - I edited the Hide and Show Region template
I'm on Apex version 3.0.0.00.20
The collection does not seem to be getting populated. I'm wondering if the region template which includes this code is not working: onclick="$r_ToggleAndSave(this,'#REGION_ID#')" id="#REGION_ID#img"
My regions are always collapsed when I navigate away and return to the page and the collection is always empty. I've checked the state of the temporary item after clicking the expand (+) button and the value is always null.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Todd

Hi Carl,
I'm not seeing any obvious errors on the screen or in the message bar. I just downloaded the Firefox javascript debugger extension. I'm not exactly sure how to use this tool, but when I expand a hidden region, I do see this message in the debugger screen:
Warning ``reference to undefined property this.onShutdown_'' [xs] in file ``file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsSafebrowsingApplication.js'', line 1710, character 0.

Sticky Hide and Show Error

Hi!
I used Sticky Hide and Show in my application a long time. And I didn't see this problem before. Everything works fine yesterday. Today I receive an Invalid Number Error.
I detected that the problem with
SHOW_HIDE_OUTPUT
but I can't understand what cause this error.
Any ideas.
Best Regards, Kostya Proskudin.

I find the reason. Oracle could not implicitly convert number to char in show_hide_memory.show_hide_collection_output() procedure.
The solution is to modify SQL statement
(SELECT c003
FROM apex_collections
WHERE collection_name = 'SHOW_HIDE_COLLECTION'
AND c001 = to_char(wwv_flow.g_flow_id)
AND c002 = to_char(wwv_flow.g_flow_step_id))

Need Help with Sticky Hide and Show 0.9

I am trying to implement Sticky Hide and Show v0.9 into my applications. I have created a custom region named "Hide and Show Sticky" for Theme 8 as shown in the example application. However when I use the templet my region does not have a hid/show button. I have very little experience with Templates so any help would be great!

Sorry for the bump. I am REALLY stuck! I viewed the source with the region using the Seeded (Non-Sticky) template and using the new Sticky template. I see some dramatic differences but nob that make sense to me. I tried to past the lines in the forum but they are blocked.
Any help would be great!

I want to hide an application so that it doesn't show up on the iPhone (4S w/ iOS 6.1) or on the Apps screen when I sync my iPhone to the computer. I used to be able to do this before the upgrade. Is there a way?

Before I upgraded to iOS 6, there was a way to hide an application on my phone. When you did this is only showed up in Featured Apps in the App Store and specifically, would only appear in "Hidden Apps". Also, the app wouldn't show up at all on my device when I sync to the computer. I can't figure out how to hide an app anymore. Can anyone help? Oh and I'm talking about purchased apps...not the ones that come standard with the iPhone.

Seems that you can no longer hide them on your phone. Try doing so in iTunes: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4919.

How to keep display as Show when using Hide Show region with pagination?

We are trying to use a 'Hide Show' region with pagination. The problem is that if you 'Show' (ie expand) the region and then hit the link for the next page, the next page displays Hidden (ie collapsed). We want to keep the page display as 'show' when you move to the next set of records.
There is a fix in this forum for this issue in version 2.2 (Application Express) but we are on 2.0.0.00.49 (HTML DB). Does anyone know of a similar fix for HTML DB 2?
Ver 2.2 fix is at:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/packaged_apps/packaged_apps.html#STICKY
Thanks.
David.

Thanks for your reply.
Running the application install script via SQL Plus using FLOWS_020000 produces result:
NOT COMPATIBLE (Your export may contain calls not supported by your HTMLDB version.)
The wwv_flow_api package routines that are not available in our version appear to be:
create_or_remove_file
create_install
create_install_script
Is there any way to handle these calls in other ways?
Thanks

Javascript help - Hide/Show a page item

Environment:
APEX 3.1.00.09 running on AIX 5.3
Sample application on apex.oracle.com:
Workspace: GALWAY
UserID: gwicke
Password: gwicke
To see where my issues are:
1- Start on page 3
2- In the Agency drop down select 'J & B Marketing'
3- In the Contract drop down select the only contract that appears
4- Click on 'Edit Existing Contract'
5- Note the page item 'LY Closings' has the value 261
6- Click on the link (really a tab in my theme) at the top labeled 'Cost Detail'
7- The 'Estimate Justification' is the page item to be displayed/hidden as noted below.
8- The 'Homes Per Year' under the 'YEAR1' column is the user input page item
9- The P2_BUILDER_CLOSINGS (value 261 noted above) is the page item to be used in the comparison
I need to do a couple of things with a potentially hidden page item:
1- Every time the page loads I need to check to see if the page item (P8_ESTIMATE_JUSTIFICATION) is not null and if it is indeed not null, make it displayed.
2- When the user enters a value in another page item (P8_HOMES_PER_YEAR1), call a function to see if that value is more than 120% of another page item (P2_BUILDER_CLOSINGS) and if so make the above page item displayed (P8_ESTIMATE_JUSTIFICATION).
I have the javascript function created (showHideEstimateJustification) and in the HTML Header of the page. The function is being called currently with an onChange check on the page item entered by the user as noted above (P8_HOMES_PER_YEAR1).
Issues:
1- I need to force a SUBMIT after the user enters the value for P8_HOMES_PER_YEAR1 so it is available in session state and hence to the javascript function (other ideas welcome!)
2- I am currently using the x.style.display = 'inline' versus 'none' to hide/show the page item, where x is derived from var x = document.getElementById(P8_ESTIMATE_JUSTIFICATION) Is there a better way????
Any help is greatly appreciated.
-gary (a.k.a. Javascript newbie)

Hi,
Only your messages use the session state. The code would use the entered value, but you would need to change:
var homes = parseInt(document.getElementById('P8_HOMES_PER_YEAR1'));to
var homes = parseInt(document.getElementById('P8_HOMES_PER_YEAR1').value);so that "homes" becomes the numeric version of the value of the item
Normally, for the label, you would just enter an ID="xxx" into the HTML Table Cell Attributes for the label which you can then use in your javascript. For some reason this doesn't seem to want to work in this page.
What you could do is find all the labels and then check which is the right one before showing/hiding it. Something along the lines of:
var xx = document.getElementsByTagName("LABEL");
var zz;
var label;
for (zz = 0; zz < xx.length; zz++)
if (xx[zz].htmlFor == 'P8_ESTIMATE_JUSTIFICTION")
label = xx[zz];
xx[zz].style.display = 'none';
{code}

How to conditionally hide/show form item for multiple requests?

Ver 4.1.0
Hi There,
I have a database form where in one of the fields I need to hide /show based on if the user selects a copy row option or create a new row.
To explain in details,
1. I have a report and form application created. When the user edits a record, in that page I have added a copy button also, so when the user hits the copy button, the page is reloaded where the user can create a new record with the save button disable and the create button visible. when the user submits the form using Copy the request is set to "COPY' and in the form, one of the fields has conditional display "REQUEST =Expression1" with value "COPY" This works fine.
2. However, on the reports page, there is a "CREATE" button also, where the user can directly create a new record and the request value is "CREATE"
I wanted to add both COPY and CREATE to the conditional display something like
"REQUEST=Expression1" with value "COPY, CREATE" (without quotes)
however, the item does not display. I guess it only accepts one value since its =.
Any suggestions on how the conditional display for an item can be done based on multiple request types?
Thanks!
Sun
Edited by: ryansun on Oct 18, 2012 3:08 AM

Hi Sun,
Try changing your condition to a PL/SQL Expression and in expression 1 field add something similar to below and see if it works:
:REQUEST like 'CREATE' or :REQUEST like 'COPY'This is straight off the top of my head and untested.
Hope this helps

How is a JQuery Vertical Accordian Different Than A Hide-Show Region

Hello Everyone.
I an using Apex 4.0.1. I recently learned how to create a JQuery vertical accordian. I'm using the sample accordian that Patrick Wolf recently created/posted. It uses a really nice "accordian template" that he put together. It's really quite useful when it comes to saving space and all on a page.
Then I began wondering: How is this accordian different than Apex's own builtin Hide-Show Region template?
And so, I created a sample page on my workspace in apex.oracle.com. I placed a JQuery vertical accordian that consists of 3 regions: 2 reports and a chart. I added a little bit of JQuery to Patrick's template that causes all 3 accordian slices to be closed as opposed to the default behavior of having one slice always open. I also added code that allows a user to re-size the entire accordian either vertically and/or horizontally.
I then created 3 additional regions that mimic the first 3 regions above. These I placed in "column 2" on the page. For each region I assigned the "Hide-Show" template.
As far as I can tell, both the accordian and the Hide-Show regions provide the same functionality.
For the interested, here is a link to my page:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=49919
The app has open authentication assigned, and so, no login credentials are needed. Please click the "Accordian" tab.
I realize that the accordian has more flexibilty in that one may add features like choosing to collapse/not collapse all slices and re-sizing, etc. I suppose one could do similarly for the Hide-Show regions using Javascript or JQuery but it would likely be an effort.
Admittedly, such added features are cool and all. Still, it's been my experience that in the majority of business-like production environments, such "cool" features are pretty much useless. For example, I do not see how re-sizing the accordian or Hide-Show regions has much purpose. In fact, such "cool" features often get in the way of the main goal of the application.
Of course, a JQuery accordian may also be created that expands/contracts slices "horizontally". I do not know of any way to do the same thing using Hide-Show regions. If someone does know how to do this, I (and likely others) would sure appreciate you sharing how.
So, then, with respect to basic functionality (saving page real estate by encapsulating several regions), how is a JQuery vertical accordian any different than Apex's own builtin "Hide-Show" region?
Thank you all for your thoughts/adice/code.
Elie

Hello Jari.
Thank you for your help.
Yes. Now I do understand what it is you are doing in your accordian page. And also I want to thsnk you for providing the sample code on your page showing how to go about preserving the current state of the accordian when you navigate from/to the page.
You commented that this kind of state preservation is not available with the Hide/Show region. I'm thinking that you are correct, though I think I once saw something about doing this posted in this Forum. I'll search through and see if I can locate it.
In any case, have you (or anyone else reading this thread) any other differences between a JQuery vertical accordian and Apex's own Hide/Show region? Other than being able to apply Javascript to an accordian to do things like preserve it's state (like you did), what else may one do with an accordian that is not doable (or at least not easily doable) with a Hide/Show region?
Thank you for any further advice.

Where is hide/show toolbar button?

Hello all,
I have purchased Aperture as a retail package, and I am running Snow Leopard. I have a "hide/show Toolbar" button in the upper left of the title bar, as indicated in the included screenshot.
I used Aperture on a friend's machine, and he does not have the oblong "hide/show toolbar" button. His OS is Lion with Aperture installed from the Mac Store.
Does anyone have any ideas about why he would not have this convenient button, while I do?
nathan

Hello Nathan,
if you want a button in the toolbar to toggle it on and of, you could do the following:
Create an AppleScript to toggle the Toolbar on and off
Save the script as an application
Assign a nice icon to it, just like the drop of toothpaste, the button used to look like
Drag the Apple Script to your Finder toolbar
This AppleScript seems to toggle the toolbar - I have not done much testing so far:
(* Toggle the Finder Window Toolbar , Autor LDF *)
tell application "Finder"
activate
          set wi to front window
          set vis to (get toolbar visible of wi)
          if vis then
                    set (toolbar visible of wi) to false
          else
                    set (toolbar visible of wi) to true
          end if
          return vis
end tell
The only problem is, you can easily hide the toolbar this way, but once the toolbar is hidden, you cannot turn it on again, since the button now is hidden , so you may wish to put a link to the script in the Dock as well
Cheers

Disabling hide/show in finder sidebar

Is there anyway to disable the hide/show feature in the sidebar of Mountain Lion.

HI Peter,
Try repairing disk permissions on the 2nd MacBook.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
See if that helps.

Hide/Show Dynamic Action Stopped Working

Hi Mary,
So you changed from the code presented to a DA ? I'm not clear as to exactly happens or doesn't happen.
Do you know if your AJAX calls are failing?
If you use a Console like the one on Firebug or Chrome you can inspect what's being send and what's being returned.
I mention this because your htmldb_Get calls looks suspicious.
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,null,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=PROC_UTC_RPRTG_ORG',0);I would change it to
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$v('pFlowId'),'APPLICATION_PROCESS=PROC_UTC_RPRTG_ORG',$v('pFlowStepId'));That would pass the app_id and the page_id that is calling. Although this is probably not your current issue.
See if you can find some javascript error. It's possible that this is a timing problem as to when the code is defined and when it's loaded.
Thanks

Disable hide/show of tab bar

Most of the sample applications use a tab bar at the bottom to switch between features. This tab bar usually has a little blue button to hide and show the tab bar. Examples are the DeviceDemo and DvtGalery. For me, this feel not very iOS like and I don't want to show this button to hide/show the tab bar. For example: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0EvDYuyTjZzdGh3YS1YaWZrdEE
Other sample apps, like LifeCycle do not show this button but I can't see what the difference is at design time to disable this feature. For example: https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B0EvDYuyTjZzdWNXLXJ6SVRzaDg
Does anyone know how I can disable the feature of showing/hiding the tab bar?

Never mind. Already found it. It's in the adfmf-application.xml which can be found in the Application Resources > Descriptors > ADF META-INF. That has a checkbox to show the navigation bar toggle button, or in XML:
<adfmf:navigation>
<adfmf:navigationBar displayHideShowNavigationBarControl="false"/>
</adfmf:navigation>
