User created widgets? YES!

Just a quick suggestion for iBooks - It would very helpful to let users create widgets [for personal use in their own book or) to share with other authors.
Something similiar to Adobe Exchange where you can go download plugins for Adobe apps, is what I am talking about here and hoping to see with iBooks. The couple widgets that already exist in iBooks is just NOT ENOUGH. Please consider this idea, Apple. It would definitely make iBooks Author more user friendly.
Thanks.

Apple used to have something vaguely like what you suggest - it seems to have died back in 2009, as I recall.
Now, it's the Mac App Store - search there on: widget - I see 20 there now, but no idea if they are iBA applicable as-is, etc.
As always, tho (and since Apple doesn't monitor here), feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.

How to create widget Dynamically at run time using action script

i have created widget's in my application . but in the main page i want only selected widgets to be displayed..
lets say i have 3 categories of users for which i've created 3 widget groups i.e. search , update , report. with in these groups i have number of widgets. if user belongs to searchUser category only search widget group has to be displayed in my main page, if user belongs to updateUser group i want to display search and update widget group in my main page and so on..
thanx

Assuming these widgets are always on your main page, you could bind the visible parameter of the widget to variable, and then set that variable depending on the users group. So you could mark your groups search =1, update =2, report =3. Have a Bindable variable that you can set corrisponding to the group of the current user
[Bindable]private var groupLevel:int;
then in your search widget tag, set the visible parameter like so visible={(groupLevel>=1)?true:false}
user widget would be visible={(groupLevel>=2)?true:false}
and report widget visible={(groupLevel==3)?true:false}
that should allow the widget so appear for the appropriate group.

Can we start more than one user created database at the same time

Hi.,
Can we start/work more than one user created database at the same time ??
--Shyam

Hi Shyam,
I really dont understand what you have asked?
If your question is can we start more than one database at the same time then the answer to that is yes but provided to have enough resources on your server to support running of two or more different databases on the same machine.

Is it possible to populate readOnly text box(es) on a FIM 2010 R2 RCDC User create form with the details of the logged in user?

Hello
I am curious if this can be done. I guess its a Person object I need to fetch, but how can I refer to it?
What would the XPath look like?
*HH

Thankyou for the response. Yes indeed those environment variables are documented, but how to use them is not.
Very Hard to use. I just wanted to show the Requester information on the User Create and Edit rcdc screens.
I could only get the UocListView control to work though, but it is sufficient, like so:
        <my:Control my:Name="CurrentUser" my:TypeName="UocListView" my:ExpandArea="true" my:Caption="Requester">
       <my:Properties>
           <my:Property my:Name="ColumnsToDisplay" my:Value="DisplayName,Email,OrganizationalUnit" />
           <my:Property my:Name="EmptyResultText" my:Value="" />
           <my:Property my:Name="PageSize" my:Value="1"/>
           <my:Property my:Name="ShowTitleBar" my:Value="true" />
           <my:Property my:Name="ShowActionBar" my:Value="false" />
           <my:Property my:Name="ShowPreview" my:Value="false" />
           <my:Property my:Name="ShowSearchControl" my:Value="false" />
           <my:Property my:Name="EnableSelection" my:Value="false" />
           <my:Property my:Name="SingleSelection" my:Value="false" />
           <my:Property my:Name="ItemClickBehavior" my:Value="Server" />
           <my:Property my:Name="ListFilter" my:Value="/Person[ObjectID='%LoginID%']" />
       </my:Properties>
       </my:Control>
This gives me a nice 3 column display of the current Requester's Name, Email and Unit.

Tried to install widgets, no sign of users/library/widgets folder

Hi there everyone, I hope someone can answer my question.
After about 2 years of having this eMac, I have finally decided to install widgets. So I downloaded a couple and the folders have appeared on my desktop with a file ending in .wdgt. When I open these, inside the folders are images and .css files.
I checked on some sites saying that the widget installs itself in users/library/widgets. However, when I looked in my users/library section, there is no widget folder to be seen.
Do I need to create one? Are they located anywhere else?
Thanks!

Actually, you can run Dashboard widgets on Panther using the shareware utility Amnesty. Not all widgets run (some widgets use Tiger technologies) but many do.

How do I resolve Firefox crashing when IMVU client tries to Create Widget?

Firefox 3.6.13 running on Windows Vista 64 bit service pack 2
Intel Core 2 Duo p8700 @ 2.53 GHz with 4 GB RAM and plenty of available memory. IMVU client version 456.14 will occasionally crash either itself or Firefox and the error pinpoints to a Create Widget attempt as the root cause. IMVU's technical support is worse than a joke at the moment and couldn't even understand the problem, though I'm sure it's their software causing it.
I've included some extra information from Crash Report Helper since this seems external to Firefox itself. Perhaps that will help you pinpoint the cause

Hi Aquil0,
If there was any way to access the library, I'd think it would be through a Captivate Variable (Accessed via movieHandle I would guess).
Pipwerks has a rather extensive list of Captivate Variables, but none of the ones listed there seem to access the library. You could try following the pattern and seeing if 'cpLibrary' or something similar exists.
I'm very interested to see if this problem can be fixed, because this is probably one of the main roadblocks in creating a drag and drop question widget. I had thought before that you would have to pull in a image file from the server, and I'm a bit disappointed to hear it doesn't work for IE6.
Just out of curiosity. Could you share how you passed the image information into the widget XML? Anything regarding Widget parameters generaly interests me.

Get the User Information list and then get the user from that list
$web = Get-SPWeb "siteUrl"
$userInfoList = $web.SiteUserInfoList
$userItem = $userInfoList.Items[0]; #0 here is just for demonstration. You take the user you want here or loop through all users.

How to get the user created when I prepare for the BD Identity Manager

Hi I have a query, I need to get a backup database Identity Manager 9.1, I have a problem I do not remember user created to perform the backup, how can you know that I created when I made the installation of Identity Manager, or how can I find

Hi,
You can do this trick:
1) Go to "Deployment Manager" in the Web Console, and open the EXPORT applet
2) Export the User Defined Fields from the USR form. You don't need any dependence for this.
3) Open the generated XML with a text editor.
3) Search for the <SDK_SCHEMA> tag
This tag contains the OIM schema name, wich shoud be your OIM database user.
Hope it helps,

Can't log in as a user created in Workgroup Manager

I am a little confused about users created in Workgroup Manager.
I have created an account with all the proper permissions to log in etc. Their home directory is listed as afp://home/Users (home is the name of the server). The directory for the user I am trying to log in as doesn't exist yet.
When I try to log into the server "home" with this newly created user, I get the vibrating window that indicates the log in failed.
I am used to windows and AD where I would create a user in AD and then use something like \\domain\user to log in to the machine as that user. If i wanted to create a local user on that machine, I could do that too and then log in as \\machine\user to get the local user.
Are Workgroup Manager created users like AD users? Can I use them to log into any machine on the network hooked up to the SL server machine? In this case I want to log into the SL Server machine with this user.
Thanks for any insight
Greg

There is only one root user, so saying "a root user" doesn't make sense. What you mean is an admin user, and it looks like your account has somehow manage to lose its admin privileges.
Follow the instructions in I lost my admin user and you should get them back.
Note that in this User Tip, 'youruser' is a placeholder. You are supposed to substitute the short name of your account wherever it appears.

Environment variables (user) created at OS level dont show up in BIDS 2008

Environment variables (user) created at OS level don't show up in BIDS 2008.
I had a variable ConfigLocation created and it is not showing up when I am trying to configure it in BIDS
Is this a known issue or a bug?
Now in BIDS it doesnt show up
Mudassar

Yes it shows up after restart of BIDS .
But during design time this is a bug I hope Microsoft fixes this bug in the future releases
Mudassar
It's not really a bug. Visual Studio loads the environment variables when starting up.
In future releases you use projects and parameters instead of environment variables, so the issue goes away ;)

New user created in oracle 11g (release 2) is not connecting (ORA-01017)

Hi All,
Kindly help me out regarding this.
I have created a new user using "ORACLE Enterprise Manager 11g" and used the same credentials in SQL developer for a new connection and it throw "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" message.
Kindly note that have followed the following steps in creating user:
On the Users page, click Create.
In the Name field, enter NICK.
In the Profile list, accept the value DEFAULT.
This setting assigns the default password policy to user Nick.
In the Enter Password and Confirm Password fields, enter a password that is secure.
Create a password that is secure. See Oracle Database Security Guide for more information.
Do not select Expire password now. If the account status is set to expired, then the user or the database administrator must change the password before the user can log in to the database.
(Optional) Next to the Default Tablespace field, click the flashlight icon, select the USERS tablespace, and then click Select.
All schema objects that Nick creates will then be created in the USERS tablespace unless he specifies otherwise. If you leave the Default Tablespace field blank, Nick is assigned the default tablespace for the database, which is USERS in a newly installed database. For more information about the USERS tablespace, see "About Tablespaces".
(Optional) Next to the Temporary Tablespace field, click the flashlight icon, select the TEMP tablespace, and then click Select.
For the Status option, accept the default selection of Unlocked.
You can later lock the user account to prevent users from logging in with it. To temporarily deny access to a user account, locking the user account is preferable to deleting it, because deleting it also deletes all schema objects owned by the user.
Grant roles, system privileges, and object privileges to the user, as described in "Example: Granting Privileges and Roles to a User Account".
Note: Do not click OK in Step 13 of "Example: Granting Privileges and Roles to a User Account". Instead, skip that step and continue with Step 12 in this procedure.
Assign a 10 MB quota on the USERS tablespace, as described in "Example: Assigning a Tablespace Quota to a User Account".
If you did not click OK while assigning the tablespace quota (previous step), click OK now to create the user.Kindly note that I have log in as SYSTEM user and created this new user.
Could any one help me regarding this ?

After connecting with sqlplus, as user SYSTEM and when tried the below, I could see that the new user created by me does not exist..
select '--' || username || '--'
from dba_users
order by username;
But when tried with GUI "ORACLE Enterprise Manager 11g" I can very well see the new user created by me..
How is this possible mate??
Is the user not properly created through GUI (than from where it is showing the new user)
Some more information i want to share;
i have used schema "HR"
And have used table space "USERS"
And tep tablespace "TEMP"

Force user to select yes/no based on criteria in another field

Hello,
I have a training subform. When the user slects a course that was taken by an employee adn if the course offers a certificate (the table with the course has the yes/no value already chosen when the course was entered in a table called course list)
if the value is yes meaning a certificate is offered then the user must choose yes or no in a field called cboCertAquired

The fields are from two different tables. Course Information and General tables
If the field from course information table if the field [Certification Course] is set to yes, (*yes only) then I would like to force the user to choose wether the certificate was obtained or not by selecting yes or no in the next field
called [Course Aquired]. Some people may fail getting the certificate/certification. I only want to force the user to select whether it was obtained or not (yes/no) only if the [Certification Course] field is 'Yes'.
PS: I am not very good at writting code :-/

The resource limits set for a profile are enforced only when you enable resource limitation for the database.
