Tom Muck - You there? - "Dynamic Search Suite" extension?

Tom,
I'm trying to get a more complicated search box on my site
and I noticed
that you offer an extension that does exactly what I want.
However, I'm
using stored procedures and I'm wondering if your extension,
since it
uses recordsets (I'm not sure what else) to filter the
search, could it
be rigged to work on my site.
I'd be happy to buy your extension if you think it could be
used to the
way I need it to work without too much difficulty. I'm
basically
thinking of applying it to a page, copying out the code and
SQL from the
recordset and rigging it to work in a stored procedure. Think
this would
work?
Thanks

Tom Muck around?

  • Dynamic localization in Creative Suite Extension

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement for dynamic localization in a Creative Suite Extension so i would like to ask you all what is the preferred way to achieve this.
    I am basically a plugin developer using C++ sdk so i am a novice to this art of Creative Suite Extensions. Any pointer's to the right direction would be very helpful.
    Thanking you in all earnest.

  • Advanced Dynamic Search

    I use ASP VBscript.. SQL2000
    And I'm trying to allow customers to search our database for
    products:
    Dynamic Query... It's easy for me to create a basic search
    where the
    exact phrase is returned or something relatively similar is
    returned.
    For example, if I use the wildcard, I can extend my ability
    to give the
    customer what they want but it would be nice to offer more.
    I need the customers to be able to search for something more
    complex...:' Since I don't know how many words the customer
    will use,
    I'm not sure how to do it.
    (one, two, three)
    or (one two three)
    or ("one two three")
    Basically, something like what you would find on google's
    search or Tom
    Muck offers an extension and I'm trying to contact him about
    functionality with stored procedures. He's basically created
    an
    extension that does almost exactly what I want but since I
    use stored
    procedures, I would need to rig it to work. Link to his
    extension below.

    This is something I have been planning on doing too, with

  • How Can I get multi column values from dynamic search help?

    Hi Gurus;
    I'm using dynamic search help in my program.
    I want to get multi column values from search help. But I dont know solution for this issue.
    I'm using F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST FM.
    How Can I get multi column values from dynamic search help?
    Thanks.

    Believe it or not, the same FM worked for me in a dynpro. I will try to explain here how it works in custom screen and then you can do your work for other screens or program types. I am not going to write my actual work but will explain in general.
    I have 4 fields (FLD1, FLD2, FLD3, FLD4) and i made the search based on FLD2 and when user click on a line (could be any field), then this would bring the line on to the screens.
    There are like 3 steps.
    You have your value_tab for my fields FLD1, FLD2, FLD3 and FLD4. This is just the data that we pass into the FM. (data: IT_VALTAB type table of ZVAL_TABLE)
    Next map the screen fields into an internal table (data: It_dynpfld type table of dselc ). I also have other internal tables defined  (just to keep it straight, i will be putting here) data:  It_return type standard table of ddshretval.
    Next step is to call the function module. Make sure you have values in IT_VALTAB.
    call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
    exporting
            retfield        = 'FLD2'
            value_org       = 'S'
          tables
            value_tab       = It_VALTAB
            return_tab      = It_return
            dynpfld_mapping = It_dynpfld
          exceptions
            parameter_error = 1
            no_values_found = 2
            others          = 3.
        if sy-subrc <> 0.
          message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
          with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
        else.
          perform get_selected_fields tables It_return.
        endif.
    The code within the perform GET_SELECTED_FIELDS  - We need to map the result fields after user selects it. The code goes like this. This is step is to update the dynpro fields.
    I need a internal table as well as a work area here. like,
    data: lt_fields type table of dynpread,
            la_fields type dynpread.
      field-symbols: <fs_return> type ddshretval.
    so fill out LT_FIELDS from the IT_RETURN table
    loop at lt_return assigning <fs_return>.
        la_fields-fieldname = <fs_return>-retfield.
        la_fields-fieldvalue = <fs_return>-fieldval.
        append la_fields to lt_fields.
        clear: la_fields.
      endloop.
    Call the FM to update the dynpro
    call function 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'
        exporting
          dyname               = sy-repid
          dynumb               = '1002' "This is my screen number. You could use 1000 for selection screen (hope so)
        tables
          dynpfields           = lt_fields
        exceptions
          invalid_abapworkarea = 1
          invalid_dynprofield  = 2
          invalid_dynproname   = 3
          invalid_dynpronummer = 4
          invalid_request      = 5
          no_fielddescription  = 6
          undefind_error       = 7
          others               = 8.
      if sy-subrc <> 0.
        message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
                with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
      endif.
    good luck

  • Adobe Creative Suite Extension builder 2 not supported in Flash Builder 4.7 64 bit

    Couldn't find anywhere to submit a bug report so hopefully this is a good place.
    I was able to succesfully download and install the Adobe Creative Suite Extension builder 2 into Flash Builder 4.7 with not problems.
    When I click File -> New -> Creative Suite Exention Project nothing happends. I recieve no error messages just the Project wizard panel that is expected to open doesn't open.
    The extension works as expected when installed into the non-beta Flash Builder 4.6 32 bit verison.
    I suspect there may be an incompatibility when switching to the 64 bit version of Flash Builder.

    Hi everyone,
    The problem is that Flash Builder 4.7 is not compatible with Extension Builder 2. Therefore we have provided Flash Builder 4.6 available for download, see links below.
    We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you run into further problems.

  • Are you sure you want to change the extension from... BLOCKS Finder Editing

    This is weird and is driving me nuts, but some Macs do not allow further Finder editing of file or folder names if I change their names (usually including numbers, dots and so on) in such a way that I receive the warning:
    Are you sure you want to change the extension from..?
    After I confirm that I want to change the name, the Finder does it but gets locked for editing (I can do other things) and does not allow any further file or folder editing until I force quit of Finder or reboot the Mac.
    I have found that if right after confirming that I want to change the name I select the file and hit return (which selects its name), no problem arises. But I must do it in one or two seconds, or else it will be too late.
    IN SUMMARY:
    1. Change file or folder name including numbers and dots at the end.
    2. Get the message "Are you sure you want to change the extension from..."
    3. Confirm that I want to change the name.
    4. FROM NOW ON, I CANNOT CHANGE THE NAME OF ANY FILE OR FOLDER UNTIL I FORCE FINDER QUIT. Unless of course I do the trick indicated above real quick!
    Any hint? Any way to know what is going on? This could be a bug of Mac OS X 10.4.x or earlier or a problem with a third party application. But how to know what is going on to prevent it? As said, some Macs show this issue, but not others.
    Note: some related issues on this section searching for:
    Finder Loses Keyboard Input
    or
    Sure change extension
    For instance:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1974048
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1466505
    Hint: some file or folder name changes are more prone to cause the issue than others. For instance, renaming a folder (and confirming it) as:
    Testing.r00
    brings the bug 100% of the times.
    Any idea of what is going on? Thanks.

    The message is a warning that you are doing something that the OS thinks is going to possibly cause a problem. You are creating the situation and the OS is doing nothing other than what you are asking it to do.
    I don't know any exact answer why you can't access your files, but I do know that there are a few characters and things that will cause problems because they mimic names of invisible files. When you make a name that is close to being the same it can treat the file as the special one... meaning you can only access it via Terminal.
    Ones you cannot use at all: the colon (:), slash (/), single or double period as first characters. (taken from Finder Help with a naming files search) It is best to stay away from any special characters as a rule. Also avoid using a period and 3 character suffix unless it is one that you are purposefully assigning so the file belongs to an application.
    That said... even with the over 200 applications on my system I couldn't repeat your Testing.r00 problem. So, I don't know if it may be application related or not.

  • How to make dynamic search items in a report?

    Hi all,
    I have two questions.
    1. How to make dynamic search (i.e without GO button) field above report to provide dynamic search by words in one field of report query?
    2. How to make similar multiply dynamic search fields on report to provide individual search by selected fields of report with refine capability (i.e any search conditions in different fields must work together as complex WHERE clause)
    Thanks in advance

    hey yuri--
    if i'm understanding your questions correctly, the easiest way to achieve the functionality you're after is to have your query criteria fields submit the page when values are entered/selected. the page should then branch back to itself using the submitted criteria in the query. because you're asking about dynamically adding in your where clause predicates, you should consider using a report region of type "SQL Query (Pl/sql Function Body Returning SQL Query)". that way you can use pl/sql to piece together your query based on the provided criteria.
    so the part of your question i'm not sure of is when your page should submit itself ("without a GO button" as you said). for your first question, it seems to be a simple matter of javascript. you want users to be able to enter search criteria into a field and have that criteria be using in the report. to facilitate that we have a few self-submitting item types such as "SelectList with Submit" and "Text Field (always submits page when Enter pressed)". for your second question, it seems that you should have a Go button for the user to indicate he's done entering in his query criteria. anyhow, that's up to you, i suppose. hopefully this response will give you the concepts you need to implement this as you'd like.
    regards,
    raj
    ps-after re-reading your post, i now realize there's a chance that you wanted users to not have to submit the page at all when filtering their result sets. if that's the case, you'd have to use javascript for that cumbersome feat. google would be a good place to go for that code.

  • Enhancing BtQact Dynamic Search

    Hi All,
    I want to know the class name for BTQAct which is triggered while getting the query result.
    Also it will be needful if the database table name I can get from where all the Business Object and corresponding Implementation class names are maintained.
    Thanks in Adv.

    Hello there.
    Let me explain how to trace the same.
    1. Lets take an example of dynamic search object in the model used in your component. BTQAct.
      Select the name of Model used in your component say ABC( Can be found in Runtime repository browser of Component in Models)
    2. Go To SPRO-> SAP Reference IMG-> CRM-> Cross Applicatiaon components-> Generic Interaction Layer->Basic Settings
    3. Select the option of Component Set definition and search for ABC here found in Step1.
    4. In this check the name of Components assigned responsible for Activities.
    5. Check in the same customizing the Component name thus picked in Step4 and then you will find three entries corresponding one component.
    Object Table   : Defines all objects in a component with their type ( eg search, root,child etc)
    Model Table: Defines relationship table --All relationships available amongst the objects of the component with the possible cardinality.
    IL class: This class will have all basic methods which gets called whenever any operation is performed on WEB UI of even on GENIL_BOL_BROWSER.
    I think this class name is the class you are looking for.
    Please reply if this helps.
    Best Regards,
    Vinamra.

  • Is it possible to enhance the dynamic search with Option field with custom

    Hi All,
    is it possible to enhance dynamic search with OPTION parameter like Equals to , Between etc, instead of these are we able to add our own? If yes, then which are steps need to perform.
    Thanking you.
    Regards,
    VjMHyd

    Just to test is this possible i wrote a sample program
    data: lr_dquery type REF TO cl_crm_bol_dquery_service.
    data: lv_status TYPE CRMT_PROCESS_DESCRIPTION.
    data: mv_bol_core type REF TO cl_crm_bol_core,
            lr_result_obj type ref to if_bol_bo_col,
            lv_opp_id type string,
            lr_entity type ref to cl_crm_bol_entity.
    MV_BOL_CORE = CL_CRM_BOL_CORE=>GET_INSTANCE( ).
    MV_BOL_CORE->START_UP( 'BT' ).
    *data: lv_opp_id type string.
    lr_dquery = cl_crm_bol_dquery_service=>GET_INSTANCE( 'BTQOpp'  ).
    if lr_dquery is bound.
    *   prepare the selection paramters
      lr_dquery->add_selection_param(
        exporting
          iv_attr_name =  'OBJECT_ID'   " Component name
          iv_sign      =   'I'  " Inclusion/exclusion criterion SIGN for range tables
          iv_option    =   'PI'  " Selection operator OPTION for range tables
          iv_low       =   lv_opp_id
    *   Get the dynamic result object and read the opportunity status from there
      lr_result_obj ?= lr_dquery->get_query_result( ).
      lr_entity ?= lr_result_obj->get_first( ).
      if lr_entity is bound.
        lr_entity->get_property_as_value( exporting iv_attr_name = 'STATUS'
                                    importing ev_result = lv_status ).
      endif.
    endif.
    BREAK-POINT.
    No syntax error but junk values returned as I had not written the logic for retrieval based on this operator. This means that if you add the selection_param to the dynamic query and then handle that same thing in the GENIL class for the component then you would be able to retrieve the values based on this.
    On the UI , you would be retrieving all the operators for the parameters. There for that particular field you have to add the new operator for your case. And this would be send to the Dquery class and added as a selection param. When the query is executed, if the genil class has been updated to handle this parameter, you should be able to retrieve the results.

  • How to localize Creative Suite Extensions

    Hi,
    Just wanted to let you know that I've posted a new cookbook where I explain how to localise a Creative Suite extension. You can find it under http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Localizing_a_Creative_Suite_5_extension-17410.html.
    I've also posted a sample to go with it that you can download from Extension Builder by selecting:
    File > Import > Other > Adobe Creative Suite Extension Builder > Remote Creative Suite SDK Samples > Localised
    Note that you will need the latest version of Extension Builder 1.0.1 for the sample to compile properly.
    Thanks,

    artificial "suites"
    I don't agree with that; some of these applications are very tightly integrated with a seamless cross-app workflow.
    Anyway: In itself, there's no particular reason to have the apps "synchronized". Requirements are different in the various apps, and my color settings are deliberately unsynchronized. But until you understand more about what the different color settings do, it's a simple safeguard against surprises.
    In Photoshop, working on RGB (or CMYK) raster image material, the all-important thing is to have color management policies set to "preserve embedded profiles". Any other setting is trouble waiting to happen. You may also want to work in a large space like ProPhoto to have maximum editing headroom.
    But as soon as you get into CMYK and/or vector territory with ID and Ai, you don't want that because it can lead to a number of other problems on press. For CMYK you'll want to ignore profiles and preserve numbers, then reassign the correct profile for output. Using ProPhoto for RGB vector is also totally pointless. Just mentioning this to put this into context.
    If you do want to synchronize, you do it in Bridge as station two said. But all it means is having the same settings in each app's color settings, and you can do that manually as well.

  • Are the eLearning Suite Extensions available for separate download?

    I'm looking for the eLearning suite extensions to build learning interactions. I just upgraded to Design Premium CS5.5 and would very much like to download (hopefully) or buy these extensions to help create and extend the built-in learning interactions.
    I called Adobe and they suggested that I post this question here...
    If this isn't available, perhaps Adobe would consider offering these - especially for those of us who have not purchased the eLearning Suite.
    Thanks in advance for any information.
    Steve

    Thank you Barry, RIFerrarr, Allan, BDAqua and K Shaffer for your kind and informative answers to such bad and poorly made question. What I asked was not even close to what I had in mind. Please excuse me.
    I wouldn't mention it again but now I feel compelled to explain what I really needed: Perhaps I am just dreaming but I remember seeing a long time ago a chart/table with the technical specifications (and I believe expansion/upgrade capabilities) including dates of different systems, including mine, in the main Apple website. Obviously that table/chart is not there anymore (obviously they only feature current models,) and I was hoping that someone had saved such tables/charts. I have found something similar (hardware only) in www.everymac.com but it is nothing like what I saw a long time ago.
    Now, what I would also like to find, if it exists at all, is a table/chart with the latest updates available of Apple-developed-software (both factory installed and purchased separately) that can run natively by OS version (and in my case hardware as some of my systems are PPC.) I am sure I could still find the information if I dig app by app and page by page, but I have not found anything comprehensive. Finally, I would also like to find the same comprehensive information for security patches and firmware updates, again all in one place. That way I (or anyone) could simply go and verify manually and easily what is possible to run on my (her/his) different system(s) (I also have Intel based systems.)
    I am very embarrassed about my question, but again, thank you all for your patience and for making a huge effort to answer it. Finally, thank you for teaching me new things, among other things that I can indeed trust Apple software update (if the log files are not corrupted, I assume,) and that there is a reliable option today for Safari 5.0.6 for Leopard (PPC)
    Cheers,
    Alkan

  • Why is there no "SEARCH OPTION" in the Windows Store? Apps missing be nice if I could find them !

    Since on this journey from Win 8 consumer preview to Win 8 retail preview   ..And no currently trying out Win 8 Pro...It verified if it was gonna give me back ( allowed to re-download ) the apps I was used/had in previous editions. The Store gives you
    a selection of YOU APPS from previous versions of the OS preview of apps you installed and currently would want to reinstall. Various versions of the Consumer preview I installed 2 out the 4 times i installed the OS seen I had installed the app Comixology.
    When the first time I installed Retail preview it didn't have it in my list nor was it listed in the store!  Same goes with Iheart Radio and Slacker Radio though numerous installments of the OS. Now trying out the Win 8 Pro 9200 version It showed I at
    one point no matter what PC I used ( I own a few and bought a new one recently ) It showed at one point I installed Comixology. Yet it didn't show Iheart Radio or Slacker in my install list of old to reinstall nor was it even in the Store!!!!   \\\So
    what the hell gives ?????   I mean If there was a SEARCH Option it would make it easier to track these Metro ( whatever they are calling it now -personally I think they should call it FRAMES as in Window Frames  :P  When you go on these
    programs sites they only offer up Apple or Android app downloads and nothing mentioning of Metro or Win 8 -which is understandable due to not being released yet but still if the Store can't comply with your history of app install base ( paid or free ) and
    you can't have the ability to retrieves said apps you once installed how can that be trusted if and when paid apps are bought if you are only to reinstall the entire OS and find that your app is not obtainable via offered through the main store or even in
    your downloads app install history. I hope they fix this issue as it's been pissing me off since this whole testing thing!!  

    Sorry if I offended you by using an anecdote - the actions of kids are simply an easy way to explore the actions of adults.  Growing up doesn't change base instincts.  Most people (myself included) tend to have an immediate distrust of change when
    it is not change that they are instigating, when it is forced upon them.  What better example is there than a child, where many big decisions are made for them?
    As for the new interface, I didn't catch on until it was revealed to me (or I hit my head against the wall, can't remember), so I'm not saying it is easy.  Better education is needed, but going back to the old way doesn't help.  The five or six
    questions I have answered today are questions that I myself had, and wished someone had answered for me.  This is a
    drastic change from old versions of Windows.  I even told my boss yesterday that I can't see his company (I'm a contractor) switching any time soon - too much new stuff to learn.  That being said, once there are some good training tools available,
    I do believe that this OS will be a good choice - it does feel more intuitive after only a few days of use.  A training course is likely necessary for new users, however my guess is that this will wind up being a beneficial change (long-run)
    for IT departments, because the system does feel more aimed towards the casual user.  No matter what program you use, the search and settings are in one easy place.
    I admittedly do not have a lot of files in my Skydrive, however the file that is there is purple, while the folders are blue.  Not sure if all files are like that, and I really do not have the time to explore those differences.  That being said,
    the number in the bottom-right seems pretty self-explanatory, the number of child elements in the container.  I barely remember the old Skydrive interface, however I do remember it felt clunky.  Whether or not the changes are a true
    improvement, it does feel more streamlined.
    Metro (or whatever it is called now) is confusing.  It is scary.  (My word, not yours, nor am I trying to imply it.)  It is definitely
    different from the past.  But it makes sense.  Same interface on every MS product: Xbox, Windows, and Phone.  Microsoft didn't exactly
    pioneer this idea, either.  Apple has been creeping in that direction for a while now.  As I said previously, I can move around faster in the new Start menu than I could in the old, and I can actually do
    more without ever putting a hand on the mouse - for anyone that is waist-deep in computers, regardless of their specific job, that tends to be a
    good thing.
    There are a lot of growing pains here, for both Microsoft and the consumer.  Has MS gotten it right?  Not yet, not entirely, but the goal is clear.
    If your complaint is on broken
    functionality, then I wouldn't disagree with you.  There is plenty of that, and I think it was a bit foolish of Microsoft not to have a Connect site up for such things.  (If I'm wrong on that, and there is one, please point me that way.  I'm
    still stuck with Explorer.exe crashing from click-scrolling.)
    As for disliking the big changes, well, I can't agree with you on that at all.  Again, it wasn't an easy transition, but now that I'm here, I don't want to go back.  I want the true
    bugs fixed, but not having a search bar seems more like being stuck on old ways of doing things than a real problem.  That kind of thing can even lead to puking.

  • I can't remove Bing. I've tried Control Panel, the article "Removing the Search Helper Extension and Bing Bar," and I have had no luck for Windows 7 and Firefox.

    I can't remove Bing. I've tried Control Panel, the article "Removing the Search Helper Extension and Bing Bar," and I have had no luck for Windows 7 and Firefox.
    I wish I could share the two screen shots I took, but this question site doesn't have the option, so I guess I'll describe where Bing is showing up.
    In the left hand of my browser, just to the right of the back and forward arrows, there is speech bubble with a black eye ball or something. I found out it's Bing-related by clicking on it. There is no option to remove it with either left or right clicking on it.
    Also, in the right hand corner of my browser, at the very end of all my tabs, there is a white rectangular box with an orange "b" and a magnifying glass symbol. It will not respond to anything I try to do to it either, but if clicked it opens a new tab with a Bing search dialogue box.
    Finally, any new tab I open automatically opens to the Bing search dialogue box (versus Google).
    I need to get specific, step-by-step instructions for removing this Bing stuff from my computer. As I said, I have already gone through all steps outlined in the article I mentioned above as well as not been able to locate Bing in my control panel.
    Please help. I'm certain others are having this same issue. I use Windows 7 and Firefox. Thanks.

  • Removing the Search Helper Extension and Bing Bar

    The above question has been asked a number of times already, and some replies date back 8 months or more. Sadly, whilst the
    offers of help are much appreciated, they no longer seems to fix the problem, AFAICS.
    My setup details, if it assists:
    Dell Inspiron N5110 laptop
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2,00GHz
    4.00GB RAM
    WDC [Western Digital) WD6400BPVT-75HXZT1 5400 6.5GB HDD
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M video card
    Intel(R) HD Graphics 3000 64meg onchip GPU
    Win 7 Home Premium 64bit SP1
    Mozilla Firefox v4.0.1
    Having bought the above laptop, I am in the process of changing from old to new. During a mass MS update session, Firefox was
    impregnated with a 'bing' search box and button [It is perfectly possible that I inadvertantly 'speed clicked' a sneaky 'install me'
    button on the way]. Anyhoo, I now have said search box/button and want rid asap. The Firefox help suggests following the
    advice in their item entitled 'Removing the Search Helper Extension and Bing Bar', but this shows as out of date. Furthermore, I
    have no 'bing' or 'search helper extension' entries in my 'Programs & Features' applet in Control Panel, neither do I have MS
    KB982217 installed to uninstall. There are no eponymous entries in Firefox's 'Tools/Addons' menu.
    Any ideas, please?
