Using system variables to open new SCO and then return to same slide in previous SCO

Hi,
I am working on a eLearning project which will have about 30-40 individual lessons (SCOs), with a common Glossary of terms used in the lessons. The user needs to be able to click on the Glossary button in any lesson, go to the Glossary and then ideally return to the same slide in the SCO where they clicked on the Glossary button.
I am still learning Advanced Actions but I have seen variables such as curentScene, and currentFrame. Could these variables be used to create an Advanced Action which would take the user back to the same slide or is there a system variable which could be used to peform this function?
Really need help on this one. If what I am trying to do is not possible then knowing that would be very useful too as I will not spend anymore time trying to find a solution but will look at other alternatives.
Thanks,
Richard

When you reopen a file, all variables are reset... so with Advanced actions this will not be possible AFAIK. Michael Lund, cpguru, has a Save and Load Data widget that allows to pass values of variables between files. Maybe JavaScript could help as well?
I do not know the system variable you are pointing to. There is cpInfoCurrentSlide and cpInfoCurrentFrame but scenes? Perhaps you are using StoryLine and confusing the terminology. In this blog post you can find a link to the complete list with available system variables in Captivate 6:

I had a similiar problem.. perhaps my solution will give you an idea. My problem is I was returning a list of records.. when the user clicked more down I added the next 50 records.. but I didn't want them to have to scroll down themselves.. So the tag that generates the records inserted a specific id on the row I wanted to start with and then I used the following javascript to scroll down (all of this was in a nested scrollable div tag) This solution works in both FF and IE.
var divObj = document.getElementById('AnchorDiv');
var anchorObj = document.getElementById('ScrollHere');
if(anchorObj!=null&&divObj!=null){
divObj.scrollTop = anchorObj.offsetTop;
} So for you you could put an ID on the container that contains the tabs.. then when the page loads have javascript fire that scrolls the page down to that element... You will of course have to make sure you have some value on the form or in the session that you can use to tell you it is infact a tab change, so that it doesn't scroll down there all the time.
That may not help, but it might get you thinking in the right directions..

Calling a PL/SQL Procedure from button and then return to same page

I have a button called "Process" that I want to call the database stored procedure "BUILD_WORKDAYS" with parameters P14_PROCESS_YEAR as an input parameter. I have the button on the page but is this a PL/SQL Page Process or a PL/SQL Branch? I have tried a number of combination but don't seem to be able to get the database procedure to execute. What should the syntax be?
Thanks

"I have a button called "Process" that I want to call the database stored procedure "BUILD_WORKDAYS" with parameters P14_PROCESS_YEAR as an input parameter"
Assuming you are starting with an empty Apex page:
1) Create a region of some type or other, say HTML.
2) Create a button of type "Create a button in region position" in this region. Sounds like you've already done this and called it PROCESS.
3) Create a process of type PL/SQL, On Submit After Computations and Validations.
4) Call it "Execute BUILD_WORKDAYS" (or whatever you like)
5) The PL/SQL for the process is:
BUILD_WORKDAYS(:P14_PROCESS_YEAR);
6) Specify a success and failure message.
7) In the final step of the Create Page Process wizard, select your button from the "When button pressed" select list.
8) Then create an unconditional branch branching to the same page.
That should be it.

There is a problem when i click the "+" tab to "open a new tab" nothing happens. It use to open new tabs and now it does nothing. Even when i go to "File" and "New Tab" it still does nothing. The only time i can get a new tab to open is if i go to "Help" and click "Firefox Help" then a new tab with firefox help opens.

How do I reorganize my photos on iPad 2? I need to move (not copy) photos from one album to another. When I use the copy function to another album, and then try to delete an image from the original album, the system wants to delete the photos from all albums. Please help.

You can't do it directly on the iPad - the new album functionality basically only allows you to copy photos into those new albums, you can't move them. The way that I think of it as working is that you are just creating pointers to the photos in those new albums, so if you then delete the original photo on the iPad you therefore automatically delete all the pointers to it.
If you want to re-organise your albums then you will need to do it on your computer and then sync those albums over to the iPad

Hello,
''jstavene wrote:''
can find nothing under the tools menu for private browsing?
Then it's not the same issue.
If Firefox is set to '''Never remember history''', then you're in “permanent private browsing” mode, in which case the menu item ''Stop Private Browsing'' will be grayed out. Perhaps that's the case, and you don't find the menu item easy to see?
* [[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
If that's not the case, then menu items can be hidden using the userChrome.css file. Check if it exists, and if it's there, rename it, then restart Firefox.
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/UserChrome.css
In Firefox Nightly (what will become Firefox 20), per-window private browsing has been added, so the menu item under the Tools menu is gone. It's been replaced by New Private Window under the File menu. I don't suppose it's very likely that you're using such a cutting-edge test version of Firefox though.
If that doesn't solve the problem, since it's a different issue, it would be best if you would ask a new question.

Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab and then switch to the tab, the address bar clears and the website won't open.

Sometimes when I open a link in a new tab and then switch to the tab, the address bar clears and I'll have to re open the tab and hope that doesn't happen again. Sometimes this happens again and again. Most of the times if I just open the link in a new tab and don't switch to it, this won't happen. But as I switch too the tab, the text would disappear and the link wouldn't open.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
* Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

Error in using System Variable

Dear all,
I want to use System Variable 225 ( VAT percent (per VAT code) ) which is used in one of document i.e. "VAT Only Invoice".
When I used it in my Invoice document the following error occurs:
Printing Error : Invalid Variable number (RPT -6300)(Field:F_XXX) Variable 'XXX'
Please help me to use this System Variable in my Invoice.
Note: I have already read "How To Use the PLD Variables File in Release 2007 A" .pdf file.
can any one tell the meaning of folowing which is in the sheet "vars utilisation" of PLD_Vars_march2007 xls file
" it means that this variable can be used only under certain repetitive area exclusive numbers (109, 126, 132, 135, 139, 148, 149, 309, 316, 427, 502, 509, 686)
Regards,
Ghazanfar

Hi,
It is a special variable available for the VAT summary part, not to be used in the rows but in a separate repetitive area.
To display the respective VAT rates in each row, create a database field instead: Tax Definition - Rate%. It will populate the VAT percentage for you.

Nat
