Web Clip Stuck On Desktop

I made a web clip about a week ago... and i just turned on my computer and it is stuck on the desktop....
When i go to my dashboard to see the widgets... it doesn't show up... its ONLY on my desktop it self
it doesn't go into expose when i use that... it doesn't go into spaces when i use that... its obviously not supposed to be there... so pleasee help!

when you open a window (like finder or mail), is that window above that webclip (i.e. you can´t see the webclip) or underneath.
if window is above that webclip, than chances are it´s not a webclip but an image on your desktopm background.
Go to system settings > desktop & screensaver
and select a different desktop image
a) if window is underneath "webclip" than it is much more tricky...
--> go to dashboard and deselect ALL widgets
--> log out and back in, see if it helps
b) try cocktail, to do a complete system check

Dashboard Web Clip Widgets - "Time for an Update"

I have an issue with a dashboard widget that I created from the Safari button "Open in Dashboard" to create.
I used the widget on the following page:
http://www.calottery.com/win/winning-numbers
The problem is, the widget displays a giant overlay:
Needless to say, it makes this particular web clipping completely unusable...

I would like to do this as well.
I monitor an internal web site that displays network traffic and it would be very convenient to do this as a web clip on the desktop.
Can someone tell us where the details for the Dashboard web clip are kept? Perhaps there are some additional properties that can be added to it from the back end that would get it to work. (A port number, 'https', credentials, etc.) It would almost be silly if it couldn't be done!

Safari Dashboard Web Clip https

I'm hoping someone knows how to make an secure web site with a port (https://x.x.x.x:4444) for instance a web clip for the dashboard. I can easily create it but it of course doesn't work. It says it can't connect to the site. Obviously it requires a user name and password. I had already logged in and was viewing what I need when I created the clip. Is there a way to adjust the address that the clip uses and how does a web clip handle usernames and passwords? Is that something you have to pass in the URL?
Thanks,

How do I stop Quicktime grabbing my web clips?

I recently installed Web Clips as part of Google Desktop and began receiving feeds to download podcasts - so far so good. When I click on the daily podcast, Mozilla pops up a box asking me if I want to save or open the file (and with what application). I click to save it on the Desktop then copy the file to my PDA for listening later. Perfect! BUT then I wanted to buy an MP3 album which I could only find on iTunes, so I had to install iTunes to visit the iTunes store. I didn't ASK for Quicktime, but that downloaded, too. Now, when I click on my podcast in WebClips, the Quicktime logo briefly appears and something similar to a new browser window opens, with a graphic like you get in Quicktime/Media Player to show where you're at in the clip (but no other settings). There's no way to get rid of this or to save the file. I've tried going into Quicktime and iTunes and unchecking any box that would make it act as the default for just about everything but it still persists in grabbing the podcast. The only way I can stop it is to completely uninstall Quicktime AND iTunes - so I'm back to not being able to use the iTunes store again. I thought only Microsoft was capable of this 'you-have-to-use- our-product-or-else' arrogance.

Yes, I deleted all the websites and reset everything to "ask" except p2p which I turned off.
Whenever I first go to any page with flash content (from reboot) my webcam becomes powered - note I don't mean that it is actually recording but of course there's no way you can tell that when the light comes on.
This phenomenon only started with the current flash update.

Browser preferences - web clip incompatible with pop-ups?

Hi,
I'm a newbie to iOS & Safari and I've haven't been able to work out the following:
I use a web-browser client app for work.
Since it is an app (with its own built-in navigation), I'd like to clear up space on my screen and use Safari in Full-Screen Mode.
I've therefore created what I believe is called a "Web Clip" (to add an icon with a direct link to the apps' login screen on my desktop/start screen).
When I double-click on this link, no Safari toolbar shows up (address box, navigation buttons, page tabs, etc.) so the interface is neat and has the feel of a standalone app.
However, a couple of functions stop working in this mode (they work fine in the "standard mode"):
I don't receive pop-ups (I'm able to launch reports against the server, which in turn is supposed to send back a PDF-file which should open in a new window or tab).
I can't use a click-on email-link to create a message (it's a simple mailto:x link).
I've searched all the configuration options I could think of but nothing solves this.
Can it be done?
If not, is there any way to "reduce" the space occupied by Safari's toolbar?
Thanks

I'm sorry Jim but I just wouldn't know where to start.
This is not a developer question, I'm just trying to configure the iPad appropriately.
Do you know if there is any configuration option on the iPad Air that "enables pop-ups" in Safari "full-screen mode"??

Web Clip Widget Not Saving

I just upgraded from Tiger 10.4.11 to Leopard 10.5.6 (and then to 10.5.7 via Software Update). I tried to use the new Web Clip feature, to create a widget from part of a web page. Safari (v 3.2.3) has the scissors icon, and I am able to select a portion of a web page. When I click the Add button the clip appears in the Dashboard layer, and I can edit it, etc. But when I close the newly-created widget it simply disappears. It does not show up in the row of icons at the bottom of the (Dashboard) screen, nor does it show up in the "Manage Widgets" list--either before or after I close the widget.
The Web Clip widget (the one with the Safari icon that opens Safari if you click on that icon) is present, but I am unable to save a web clip as a new widget.
It has been a while since I added a widget from, for example, Apple's website. But I think I remember getting a message asking me if I wanted to save (or add, or some such word) the widget. I do not get this message when I try to create (and save) a web clip as a widget.
Apple's "help" says that widgets created from webclips stay ther until the user deletes them, but I am unable to get thim onto the list in the first place. Any suggestions?

The Mac Help is ambiguous: "A Web Clip widget remains in your dashboard until you remove it. If you remove a Web Clip widget, the only way to get it back is to create it again."
A "normal" widget shows up (when you press the + inside a circle at the lower left of the screen) in a line of widget icons at the bottom of the screen (as well as in the list you get by choosing "Manage Widgets..."). You may display the widget on the desktop or not, but the widget is not deleted if you dismiss it from the desktop.
This is not true of Web Clip widgets, at least on my Mac. A Web Clip widget does not show up in the Manage Widgets... list or in the line of icons at the bottom of the screen. And dismissing it from the desktop deletes it completely.
Is this what is supposed to happen?

Partner application and web clipping.

Hi All,
I am trying to add an external application (say my.yahoo.com) to a webclipping and its throwing the below error in the application log.
WC-517 : SSL handshake failed with the url ...
I have checked the file ca-bundle.crt and the certificates are in place. Does anybody know how to go about debugging this problem as I am quite new to portals and at my wits end to solve it.
Also I would be greatful if anybody can suggest me the steps on adding an Apex application configured as partner application with SSO authentication to a web clipping.There seems to be little or no-documentation at all in this regard(as far as my search goes).
Thanks in advance
-Venkat

I finally got it working by VERY CAREFULLY reading the instructions in the install.txt document in the SSO SDK package. You have to set up the partner application with a new schema in the login server database, and run the regapp.sql script AFTER editing it to insert data from the Login Server Partner Application admin screen. After you register the partner app in Portal, it gives you some info (site token, listener token, encryption key, etc). You have to MANUALLY copy these and paste them into the regapp.sql script, then run the script in the partner app schema. Make sure you don't confuse capital I with numeral 1 (like I did, since Oracle so nicely uses a non-serif font where you can not tell the difference).
Also make sure you copy the exact values for these parameters into your code when you use the SSOEnabler class. The listener token was very confusing since different documents appear to disagree on whether it should include the partner app name or not. It does require the partner app name:
app-name:hostname:port
hostname and port are for the web server that is handling http requests for the login server (usually your main portal web server).

Https and web clipping portlet

Hi,
I have little problem with portal, I can't add web clipping portlet from my web app, which using https.
Has anyone any experience with adding web clipping portlet over ssl? Is it possible? (version 10g, 10.1.2.0.0)
Thanks
Jan Kralik

Hi Jan,
Have you configured the whole iAS stack in SSL? -- refer to Section 6.3.2.1.4, "SSL Throughout OracleAS Portal" from the Portal Configuration Guide (http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/appserver1012.html).
I hope it helps...
Cheers,
Pedro.

Web application through web clipping portlet configured through SSO

I have followed the steps in the below URL in integrating the external application with SSO configuration.
http://MKD-164540.wipro.com:7778/portalTools/webClipping/providers/webClipping
After adding the web clipping portlet to the portal page it is giving the below message.
User authentication failed. Please use the following link to update the information.
Update login information.
Navigating to "Update login information. " link showing to enter the log in and password details.I am confused which log in details I have to submit here. I have tried my AD credentials and application login details. Its not working anything.
If anybody have any idea on this, Please help me.
Regards,
-Venu

Either the login information is not correct (it explains it should not be domain\username but just username) or the authentication format from your Microsoft proxy server (Kerberos?) is not compatible with the Web Clipping portlet. You might get a better reply in the Portal forum about supported proxy authentication methods for the WebClipping portlet.

Web Clipping portlet and pdf files

Hi,
I have created a web clipping portlet which just includes a set of links to HTML and pdf files. When I try to open a link to a pdf file the web clipping portlet fails, but links to the html content work fine
Is it possible using web clipping to open the links to the pdf files and display them in the web clipping portlet ?
Thanks,

Web Clipping portlet and https

We have an external ASP application that requires HTTPS authentication. We want to pull the application into portal via a Web Clipping portlet.
However when we try start up web clipping studio with the https url we get the following error:
'WCS-517 -- SSL handshake failed for HTTPS connection to URL https://icwwwd.cc.ic.ac.uk/spectrum/ict/services/software/shop/downloads/SoftwareShop.asp by method get'
My questions are:
1. Is it possible to use the web clipping portlet to access a secure page?
2. If so does anyone know why we are getting this error?
3. Assuming we can, how do we get portal to automatically log on to the application via https so users do not have to login twice i.e. once into portal and once into the asp application?
Thanks
Andrew

Here is a more complete answer, cut and paste from the Oracle9iAS Portal Web Clipping Portlet Users and Administrators Guide at
http://portalcenter.oracle.com/pls/ops/docs/FOLDER/COMMUNITY/DOCTEAM/WEBCLIPPING/WEBCLIPV9025.PDF
5.3 Configuring Security
When a user navigates to a secure site, the Web site typically returns a
certificate identifying itself to the user when giving secure information. If
the user accepts the certificate, the certificate is placed into the list of trusted
certificates of the browser so that a secure channel can be opened between
the browser and that server. Like aWeb browser, theWeb Clipping Provider
behaves as an HTTP client to external Web sites. In order for the Web
Clipping Provider to keep track of trusted sites, it makes use of a file that
stores the certificates of those sites, namely the ca-bundle.crt file.
The shipped ca-bundle.txt is an exported version of the trusted server
certificate file from OracleWallet Manager (OWM). The default trusted
server certificate in OWM does not cover all possible server certificates that
exist on theWeb. For this reason, when a user navigates to a secure server
using HTTPS, the user may get an "SSL Hand-shake failed" exception in the
Web Clipping Studio. To solve this problem, the ca-bundle.crt file
needs to be augmented with new trusted sites that are visited. As a Portal
Administrator, you must do the following to extend the shipped
ca-bundle.crt file:
1. Use a browser (preferably Internet Explorer) to download the root
server certificate from each external HTTPSWeb site in BASE64 format
that is visited, and is missing from the trusted certificate file.
2. Use Oracle Wallet Manager (OWM) to import each certificate.
3. Export the trusted server certificates into a file and replace the
ca-bundle.crt file with that file.
For more information about Oracle Wallet Manager, see Chapter 17 "Using
Oracle Wallet Manager" in Oracle Advanced Security Administrators Guide in
the Oracle9i Release 2 (9.2) documentation section on the Oracle
Technology Network (OTN) (http://otn.oracle.com).
=============
So, if you have another certificate authority that you need to add, i.e., DOD certs, etc., you must follow the instructions above.

Problem with Web Clipping and External Application

When I use Web clipping with INLINE rendering on usual sites I can move under links, not leaving a portal.
But if I try to make it via the self-made provider with External Application then links do not work.
I press them and it appear in the same place!
Authorization via External Application passes successfully, that is the page is displayed correctly.
But links do not work.
In what there can be a problem?
Oracle Application Server 10g Release 2 (10.1.2)

In order to prevent some urls and internal websites from being cached use url bypassing. This way these urls will not be cached and the users can directly use them without being asked to log in.
To enable transparent error handling and dynamic authentication bypass, and to configure static bypass lists, use the bypass global configuration command. To disable the bypass feature, use the no form of the command.
