Understanding scripting of dynamic menus

Hi,
i have a strange problem with the external script recorder for VBScript. While navigating through a tree-table-like control in a dynamic menu ('usr/cntlTREE_1000/shell'), i try to use the context menu of a treenode.
I can open it with the 'itemContextMenu' method of the control and the context menu appears, but selecting an item of that context menu (one of the 'selectContextMenuItem*' methods) does not work (and even the recorder does not recognize that while recording).
Has anyone experience with that kind of control?
greetings and tia,
David Zerrenner

Pekwm dynamic menus bug - any workaround?

I've run into a pekwm bug that's present in both the version in [extra] and the git version, and is basically a showstopper: entries in dynamic menus, generated like this
Entry { Actions = "Dynamic /directory/to/script" }
become unselectable after the first time their parent menu is opened. In other words, each submenu of a dynamic menu can only be used once; after that the main menu must be closed and called again. This is a pretty big pain in the neck.
I've tried, as a workaround, creating a menu that would refresh only when pekwm gets reloaded, as is done in the default menu for virtual desktops:
Submenu = "Applications" { COMMAND = "/path/to/menu/generator" }
But that doesn't work; it simply doesn't produce a menu. How can I work around this obnoxious bug? Is there any way to get menu-refresh-on-reload working?

ADF- managedbean creation error while making dynamic menus.

im a lil new here so plz excuse and help!
scenario:

i created dynamic menus for my application.wen i ran my page i got this error:
SEVERE: Managedbean menuItem_General could not be created Can't get value from value binding expression: '#{resources['erms.menu.gen']}'
(erms.menu.gen is an entry in UIResources.properties)
now, i followed the exact same process as mentioned in the SRDemo application, in adfdevguide!
also double checked that
i. resource adapter is configured in faces-config.
ii.menu model and menuTreeModel are configured with thier default adapaters in faces-config.
iii.resource bundle specified in jsp page.
can sum1 plz refer
1.wat is the reason of this error? wat are the things dat shud hold true in order to run these dynamic menu? which files shud b specified where?
2. in wat order are the managedbeans created ? is it in order they apprear in faces-config file or in order they are used in the jsp page?
3: is it possible that u click on a menuTab item and it displays its particular menubar's items while staying on the same page? or
u click on a menubar item and it displays its particular dropdowns while staying on the same page?

More info needed on BC Dynamic menus and using CSS with them

Hi all,
The BC Gurus tutorial on Dynamic Menus and how to style them with CSS made no sense to me, unfortunately. The presentation was too rushed and the screen too small to see what was happening.
In a previous question I found out how to apply CSS classes to BC menus after a bit of a run around.
I was putting the # in front of the Item ID name and a . in front of the class name and this was not necessary.
I have further questions though, as I am still struggling to get a BC Dynamic menu to style properly with the CSS I have created.
1. If you choose CSS as the menu type, can you set the font, background colour and rollover state of the menu items in the Dynamic menu section? Or do you have to style it all in the CSS stylesheet?
2. If you choose CSS as the menu type, the option to say how the submenu sits under the root menu disappears. So do you need to set this in the CSS stylesheet? And if so in which element? UL or LI?
3. If you choose CSS/HTML only, how is this different to the option of CSS for the dynamic menu?
4. If you choose CSS as the menu type and if you set a width and height in the menu item, and then set a different width and height in the CSS stylesheet, which width and height wins?
5. If you want a dynamic menu to show on an Android phone, do you have to choose CSS/HTML only and do all the styling in the CSS stylesheet? Or should you avoid dynamic menus all together and just use a UL list in the template? (I am doing a responsive fluid grid layout in DW for the template).
6. I am finding that the dynamic menu I have done, with CSS as the type, does not show and hide the sub menu items properly on an Android phone. Is there a problem with the javascript in Dynamic menus?
Thanks for any help you folks can give on these questions!

.pacnew files are only created if you have modified the default (or a change has been made to the config upstream); in both cases, you should be looking to incorporate the changes.
It seems some new options are being shipped with lxdm: you want those in your config (turning them on or off is a matter for you and the man page to sort out)...

How To Use Dynamic Menus To Place Manually Created Jspx Pages On Sub-Level

JHeadstarters,
Back on the JHS trail and could use some help.
I started using dynamic menus (see section 9.2 JHS Dev Guide) to setup a custom menu structure and found it could not be easier however I need to solve 2 issues;
1. How to get more than 2 levels deep on the menus (parent, child, grand-child, etc.)? In the menu structure setup I have created a menu that is 3-levels deep however when it runs you only get 2 levels. Perhaps a template needs to be changed.
2. How can I assign manually created jspx pages to sub-level menus?
Scenerio;
I have JHS generated pages *** AND *** manually created pages. Using dynamic menus to place the JHS genned pages works fine, the problem is how to do it with manually created pages.
Using Dynamic Menu's I created a top-level menu tab named "warp-core", below it on the next level I have two sub-menus, one named "search" and one named "form" for displaying the results of the search and modifying the rows (don't ask me why they are seperate).
The problem is how to assign the manually created jspx pages to those sub-menus? Or am I going abouth this the wrong way? Perhaps I could use JHS to generate seperate search and display pages.
Thanks!
BG...

Bill,
1. Yes, you need to decide yourself how and where you want to render this third level menu. You then create a region file similar to dynamicMenu2Tabs.jspx, just replace the references to level2MenuItems with level3MenuItems. Then create a custom template to call this menu 3 region file.
For example, you could create a bulleted vertical list for level 3 as illustrated in section 9.1.3 of the Developers Guide (that example is with static menu, but you can use similar technique for dynamic menu)
2. Instead of a group name, you can specify a JSF Navigation action in the menu administration application. So, you create a global navigation case to your custom page, and you enter this navigation case id in the menu admin app.
Note that if you want to generate separate search pages, you can do so by setting the advanced search property to "separatePage".

Dynamic Menus for Navigation

i have a question about Dynamic Menus for Navigation... i am a new in jsf/adf... and i want a suggestion about my new application i am trying to do:
my boss has give me all the items that the menu will have.... and this menu will be the same for all the pages...this menu is 3 level deep... i have created all the pages for all the menu item in the page navigation and i have also created some navigation rule... that means that everything is static... dont know if this solution is correct and will not lead me to a lot of problems in the future....
i aslo sow the Dynamic Menus for Navigation in the SRDemo application .... but my answer is can i create the Dynamic Menus if i havent create the model layer...????

I AM LOST :(.... PLEASE GUYS... ONE OF YOU SHOULD GIVE ME SOME TIPS ON HOW TO CREATE A DYNAMIC MENU... CAN I USE THE THE MENUITEM.JAVA FILES IN SRDEMO.... DO I HAVE TO CHANGE ANYTHING IN THE CODE?
In the SRDEMO application the menu has only two levels ... what do i have to do if i want a menu with 3 levels??? thanks in advance :(

Dynamic menus are overlapping. Help needed.

Hi guys,
please help, otherwise I'm going to hammer my head.
Dynamic menus are overlapping under in the Main menu > Pearl Academy (here is the site: http://lopearls.businesscatalyst.com/ )
I really don't know how to fix it. Please help.

You gotta change the CSS mate.
try to give the display of inline-block to your top level lists or display:block and then float them left.
Second everytime I'm in a certain page, the link related to that page somehow generates this:
<li class> <a ....>text ....
why do you have an empty class in there? check the Menu module files and see what you've got there to fix that, you shouldn't have that. maybe some JS is messing with you too.
Assign classes through BC, or just target the lists directly with CSS.
If you want to be specific on what list you target, use this method:
#nav > ul
and then #nav > ul > li
this will target only the direct tag after the nav div.
man you got a lot going on there, this need a bit of clean up.
I can tell you that it takes a good chunk of CSS lines to control what you've got there.

Load image dynamically by scripting to dynamic xml pdf, is it possible?

Hi All,
I've uploaded static pdf form to http://groups.google.com/group/livecycle/web/logo.pdf.
The form contains ImageField.
In the "docReady" event of the form I wrote a script:
ImageField1.value.image.href="http://www.quicksoft.co.il/images/
quicksoftlogo2.jpg";
When the form is loaded the ImageField shows the image from the url
I've updated in the script.
Once the form is saved as dynamic xml pdf the script stop working.
Is that means that it is not possible to load images by scripting to
dynamic xml pdfs?
Anyone familiar with workarounds for it?
Thanks in advance,
Rbuz

I got an answer from Adobe:
Dynamic change of an image href has been disabled due to potential security issues. There are however a few workarounds to choose from:
1. Embedding the images in the form as hidden objects. They can then be set to visible on initialize or clicking a button. This will affect performance, but if the images are in a compressed format, this can be minimized.
2. Create a Web service interface to grab the image from wherever they are stored, base64 encode it and return it to the form. You would also have to update the bindings for the image field on the form (a one time operation).

Displaying notes on Dynamic Menus in TEM

Good morning
When a note is attached to an attendee on a course in TEM, is there a way that there cam be an indicator displayed on the dynamic menus (PSV1 and PSV2) against the attendee that when you click on it, it goes directly to the note.
Many thanks
Dawn

Hello Dawn,
You need additional development to do that.
Go and copy SAP standard function RH_MORINFO and change the resulting function acc to your requirements.
Then in the T77S0 table write down the name of your Zfunction as SEMIN MINFO value.
In standard, you can make "key", "additional info" and "abbreviation" fields visible in PSV1 and PSV2 transactions.
To customize the user view, use Change settings button - View tab.
Regards,
Dilek

Dynamic menus from database with URL parameters

Hello!
I'm trying to build a set of dynamic menus that would be based on data from the database. I need to have a menu item for every database row, and all the items point to the same page, but each with its own parameter in the item's URL. The URLs in the menus would look like ".../form.jspx?recordID=xx", where xx is read from the database.
Right now, I can display the menu, everything works fine, but the problem is in the PageMap section of Databindings.cpx - ADF needs to have every URL mapped to a page definition. So even if I have "form.jspx" mapped to "form_PageDef", I have to explicitly tell the server that "form.jspx?recordID=xx" is also mapped to "form_PageDef" by putting this into Databindings.cpx.
Of course, if I have to manually enter page mappings for all the record IDs that appear in the menu, it's not really a "dynamic menu" anymore. Does anyone know of a way to avoid this problem?
Can I somehow change Databindings.cpx programmatically? Can I change page mappings dynamically? Help, please? I'm very grateful for any and all info.

Hi Vex,
I'm not sure whether you'll find a solution as "Dynamic" as you are describing with dynamic entries via the DataBindings.cpx. Menu's work quite differently in JSF (See section 19.2 on dynamic menus in the developers guide). You may need to get the solution halfway.
1) Drive the menu contents / structure from the database via some backing bean. The sample application that comes with JDeveloper has a fixed menu structure via exposed beans. You'd have to adapt this to be driven off of a managed bean. This takes a bit of work, but it can be accomplished. You'll need to loop through your database records via the Iterator to build the content of your menuModel
2) Let JDeveloper create the entries in DataBindings.cpx to map the pageDef.xml file to each jspx file. (Manual). The pageDef.xml file gets interpreted during the initContext phase of the ADF Lifecycle, and the DataBindings.cpx tells this phase where to look to create the runtime version of the pageDef.xml (See developer's guide 13.2.3).
3) Manually setup your faces-config with the right outcomes.
4) have the database return the outcomes and viewIds, among other values.
5) do the appropriate thing in your JSPX to make use of this menu module backing bean.
In this case, you'll control the content and structure of the menu via the DB. However, you'd have to make sure the data in your DB matches the definitions of the jspx viewid's and outcomes.
However, there is a quite a bit of work involved to do this. I.e. db design, backing bean for menu module, disciplined co-ordination between DB and JSF, etc...
I hope this helps.

Help with understanding script for rotating objects

Hi all
would some help me with this, I am trying to understand what part of AS3 script says loop through(create a continues 360 loop of objects) the images from an XML file, does this make any sense.
in my script I have this
for(var i:int = 0; i < images.length(); i++)
is this the part that says loop the images/objects
this is a little more to the script including the above to maybe understand better?
private function onXMLComplete(event:Event):void
// Create an XML Object from loaded data
var data:XML = new XML(xmlLoader.data);
// Now we can parse it
var images:XMLList = data.image;
for(var i:int = 0; i < images.length(); i++) <<<<<<<<FROM ABOVE ///        {
// Get info from XML node
var imageName:String = images[i].@name;
var imagePath:String = images[i].@path;
var titles:String = images[i].@title;
var texts:String = images[i].@text;
any help would be great

hi rob
ok I found this menu which rotates item around on a 360 wheel trying to see if I can use the same script on my menu,
link to example: http://art.clubworldgroup.com/menu/R...g_menu_AS3.zip
I have highlighted in blue what creates the loop of items
in my menu I do ot have anything like
var angleDifference:Number = Math.PI * (360 / NUMBER_OF_ITEMS) / 180;
which sest up the 360 circle of the item
//Save the center coordinates of the stage
var centerX:Number=stage.stageWidth/2;
var centerY:Number=stage.stageHeight/2;
//The number of items we will have (feel free to change!)
var NUMBER_OF_ITEMS:uint=15;
//Radius of the menu circle (horizontal and vertical)
var radiusX:Number=200;
var radiusY:Number=200;
//Angle difference between the items (in radians)
var angleDifference:Number = Math.PI * (360 / NUMBER_OF_ITEMS) / 180;
//How fast a single circle moves (we calculate the speed
//according to the mouse position later on...)
var angleSpeed:Number=0;
//Scaling speed of a single circle
var scaleSpeed:Number=0.0002;
//This vector holds all the items
//(this could also be an array...)
var itemVector:Vector.<Item>=new Vector.<Item>;
//This loop creates the items and positions them
//on the stage
for (var i:uint = 0; i < NUMBER_OF_ITEMS; i++) {
    //Create a new menu item
    var item:Item = new Item();
    //Get the angle for the item (we space the items evenly)
   var startingAngle:Number=angleDifference*i;
    //Set the x and y coordinates
    item.x=centerX+radiusX*Math.cos(startingAngle);
    item.y=centerY+radiusY*Math.sin(startingAngle);
    //Save the starting angle of the item.
    //(We have declared the Item class to be dymamic. Therefore,
    //we can create new properties dynamically.)
    item.angle=startingAngle;
    //Add an item number to the item's text field
    item.itemText.text=i.toString();
    //Allow no mouse children
    item.mouseChildren=false;
    //Add the item to the vector
    itemVector.push(item);
    //Add the item to the stage
    addChild(item);
//We use ENTER_FRAME to animate the items
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, enterFrameHandler);
//This function is called in each frame
function enterFrameHandler(e:Event):void {
    //Calculate the angle speed according to mouse position
    angleSpeed = (mouseY - centerY) / 5000;
    //Loop through the vector
    for (var i:uint = 0; i < NUMBER_OF_ITEMS; i++) {
        //Save the item to a local variable
        var item:Item=itemVector[i];
        //Update the angle
        item.angle+=angleSpeed;
        //Set the new coordinates
        item.x=centerX+radiusX*Math.sin(item.angle);
        item.y=centerY+radiusY*Math.cos(item.angle);
        //Calculate the vertical distance from centerY to the item
        var dx:Number=centerX-item.x;
        //Scale the item according to vertical distance
        //item.scaleX = (dx / radiusX);
        //If we are above centerY, double the y scale
        if (item.x<centerX) {
            item.scaleX*=1;
        //Set the x scale to be the same as y scale
        item.scaleY=item.scaleX;
        //Adjust the alpha according to y scale
        item.alpha=item.scaleX+1.9;

Sap Script - putting dynamic height value in box command

Hello All,
In SAP scirpt I have to display a table which might have variable number of line items. So in box command I cannot mention the height statically.
Is it possible to specify that dynamically like by using a variable and incrementing it every time the element is called from the loop?
Thanks
Indrajit

no in SAP-SCRIPT this aint possible. But you could do this in an external perform, and have your incremented value back, tho since a external perform is beeing called from the form, the box statement might already have been interpreted.
this again would mean that this way wouldnt work as well then.

Call ABAP program from Unix script passing dynamic filename

Hi,
Does anyone know if it is possible to call an ABAP program from a Unix script passing a dynamic filename to the ABAP program?
We are receiving a file from an external company and on receipt of the file want to call an ABAP program passing the filename. The filename is made up of File ID, Date and Time which we need to read in the ABAP program. We usually use Events to trigger a program which is fine when the filename if static however since this filename will be dynamic we cannot do this. In addition we cannot just rename the file to a static name in the Unix script as we need to know the value of the date and time from the file ID in the ABAP program. I can change the ABAP program to check our /in directory for a Filename that starts with the fixed File ID however I thought there must be a better way of doing this. We want the external company to put this information in a file header record but they don't want to change the file contents. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Sinead.

You could follow the following method
1.Let the external file reside in the SAP application layer in a defined path e.g. /usr/sap/tmp/interface/working/
2.Write an ABAP program which will include the following steps:-
i) read all files in the file path using function module EPS_GET_DIRECTORY_LISTING
ii) Read the data from files existing in the directory using OPEN_DATASET statement
iii) After the files have been read move the files to another directory e.g. /usr/sap/tmp/interface/backup/ or you can delete the file.
3.Schedule this program to be executed depending on the frequency of the external file being generated.
