Web clips and cacti

I'm using web clips to monitor a few cacti graphs, but every once in a while, a web clip will will lose the image it's tracking and and just show the upper left corner of the page (this area has an image, but I think that's coincidental because the web clip is wider than the image).
Is there anyway to edit what a web clip is showing, or do I just need to delete the webclip and recreate it? I currently have 7 running, and two have shown this problem.
Failing that, is there a way, given a running web clip (or it's prefs file), to get the dimensions it uses, and then recreate the clip from the command line?
I took a look at what I think is the pref's for web clips (~/Library/Preferences/widget-com.apple.widget.web-clip.plist), and there are a number of xml plist elements in the file but they seem to be just a copy of my cookies. It also has a large binary header, which I'm not sure how to interpret. I did find what looks like dimension list/url pairs farther down, but they're wrapped in binary segments, not xml, so editing them may go badly. I'll try stopping the dashboard, editing those, and restarting it.
The other odd thing is that there are only four of the seven urls I'm tracking in that plist file. The two that have shrunk aren't listed, and neither is another one that is still running correctly.
To add to the fun, some urls seem to be missing their dimensions, and others seem to have extra. I suppose this implies the dimensions are indexed off something in the header, and their proximity to a given url in the file means nothing. Joy.
I believe this is an example of a dimension list: {{365, 443}, {620, 263}}
However, I also ran into this: {{259, 108}, {620, 235}}[{1164, 751}
Not sure what the extra pair represents.

Hi MC Ready,
Just thought perhaps you're knowledgeable enough to answer this question for me (it has to do with web clip widgets made in Safari):
I have a radio station web page, which features an area to hear live broadcast through WM (Flip4Mac on my machine). Instead of having a Safari window permanently open to that site just for listening to the radio, I thought I'd make a web clip widget, which worked just fine for more than a couple of hours. Then the feed stopped, and I thought I would launch a new instance of the web clip widget, so that I might listen again.
Alas, I can't find my widget in my widgets list at the bottom of the Dashboard screen, and I had a look at:
~/Library/Widgets, as well as
/Library/Widgets
Nowhere did I find my web clip widget. Any ideas as to where I might locate it?
Bonus question: where does the web clip widget store its streamed data? If I click on the down arrow within the widget, I can use QuickTime to save the stream downloaded so far as Source or QuickTime, but I can't find this cached stream file in my hard disk.
Many thanks.

  • 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.

  • Web Clipping and a name tags

    Hi!
    I'm trying to use the webclipping portlet on some static html-pages, and it seems to work just greate, except one thing. The pages uses a lot of anchor-tag that refer to chaper down in the same html-file. You have kind of a chapter-listing in the top, with links like this:
    a href="#chapter10"
    And then further down the document there's
    a name="chapter10"
    When pressing the first link the page is refreshed, but the browser doesn't "scroll down" to the a name="chapter10" tag.
    Is there a way to solve this issue?

    I'm new to Oracle, so I'm not too sure either. But I doubt webclipping can "scroll" down a page since it's supposed to "clip out" and display the part of the page you selected right?
    Alternatives you can try might be to use the URL type in the Providers, or to select the "Inline" property if you must use webclipping. Not sure if they will work though.
    Cheers.

  • Web clips displaying incorrectly or not loading

    I have two Web clips: one of some weather from Weather.com, and one that shows the daily image from APhotoADay.org. However, neither of them works properly. The weather Web clip simply does not attempt to load, while the photo Web clip loads but displays the photo incorrectly. Here's a cap to illustrate what I mean:
    Above is the weather Web clip, and below is the photo.
    Earlier today it looked less contrasty, like this:
    And here's the original image as it should appear:
    If I go create the Web clips again, they work temporarily before reverting to this state. The photo one also sometimes fails to load at all, though it usually does.
    This problem is new in the last few days and appears to be unrelated to software updates, since my Web clips worked normally for a few weeks after the OS update and I haven't updated anything else since then that I know of.
    Any idea what's going on or what I can do about it?

  • Sound not working on Youtube video embedded in webpage used in web clip.

    I created a web clip and installed it using ipcu. On the web page I've created that I'm using for the web clip, there is an embedded Youtube video. The sound for the video is not working. Why is the sound not working? It works in safari if go to Youtube.

    My computer also recently downloaded soundflower? I didn't approve of this change
    I'm not sure what that means, but if Soundflower really is installed, uninstall it according to the developer's instructions. Back up all data before making any changes. Reboot and test.

  • WEB CLIP SECURITY THREAT???

    My Dashboard was not active, wherein I have 3 web clips stored. Suddenly my system started to hang, and I force restarted the Dock. When I did I regained control of the system. And I checked the console and found the following disturbing message. Is this a security threat with web clips and how could it activate without my opening the Dashboard?
    Jul 25 12:43:47 G5 [0x0-0xcc0cc].com.apple.dock[0]: Unsafe JavaScript attempt to access frame with URL http://www.kbb.com/KBB/UsedCars/PricingReport.aspx?YearId=2004&Mileage=13200&Veh icleClass=UsedCar&ManufacturerId=15&ModelId=111&PriceType=Trade-In&VehicleId=254 7&SelectionHistory=2547%7c25436%7c16001%7c0%7c0%7c100169%7ctrue%7c100187%7ctrue% 7c100215%7ctrue%7c100243%7ctrue%7c100292%7ctrue%7c100425%7ctrue%7c100418%7ctrue& Condition=Excellent&QuizConditions= from frame with URL http://usedcars.kbb.com/inc/cookiesync.jsp?ATCID=undefined&DK=kbb.com.

    Also, how in the heck do you delete web clips from the dashboard. Nothing seems to work except turning OFF webclips entirely.
    Thanks
    Jeff

    I say NO!
    I say that is Kelly Blue Book's website you are attempting to clip, that site has problems on a good day and rarely works
    at all with Safari. Try it with Firefox 3.1 and I bet it works just fine.
    Could be your version of Safari/Javascript, but it usually bombs when it pops up with your zip code. Delete the clip
    in Manage widgets and it should be fine.
    The latest downloadable version of Safari from Apple's download is 3.1.2, when you download that update it it says
    Safari311UpdLeo.dmg when it SHOULD be Safari312UpdLeo.dmg, but it doesn't matter I cannot get it to update my
    Safari Version 3.0.4 (5523.15) (just did it 5 minutes ago).
    I'm finding I use FireFox 3.1 more and more since every time I pick up Safari it doesn't display a site or is completely
    broken. If you only have one browser installed, well, you are missing a whole lot of what you visit.

  • Dashboard Web Clip Changes

    Hello, I have a web clip of tv listings from the provider. It updates when I open dashboard, but moves to different parts of the webpage. I am not sure why, it could and probably is that the webpage changes its layout when it refreshes the listings. But if it is something that I can do to the dashboard, I would like to know any known fixes. Thanks

    I started getting this problem, too. Then, when I deleted the old web clip and tried to make a new one, I noticed the web clip function wouldn't work anymore. I could select the area on the webpage and size it, but when I clicked "add" and Exposé opened up, my web clip would not appear.

  • Safari Web Clips Don't Bloody Work!

    *Safari Web Clips Don’t Bloody Work!*
    The problem: I was able to capture a web clip, dashboard would open and it seemed fine, but when I came out of Dashboard and closed Safari, they web clips would disappear.
    I attempted to access them by clicking Dashboard>Web Clips and this would bring up a window which says ‘Web Clip was made using Safari’s ‘Open in Dashboard Feature’, open Safari”.
    The above is written in the past tense because the situation has deteriorated since.
    *Fix Attempt:*
    Moved /Library/Widgets/Web Clips.wdgt to trash.
    Restored /Trash/Web Clips to /Library/Widgets/Web Clips.wdgt.
    *Now Safari won’t even capture any clips at all!*
    I can select a clip, but when I click 'Add', nothing, nada.
    The endless list of problems with Leopard continues...
    *Get all this for £85. Bargain!*
    Mr LinguaFranca.

    If you're using a custom style sheet in Safari (Safari>Preferences>Advanced), web clips may not work. You may not realize you're using a custom style sheet, but if you've used an application like Safari Enhancer in the past, then yes, you are using a custom style sheet.

  • 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).

  • Web Clipping portlet and pdf files

    Hi,

  • 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

    Here is a more complete answer, cut and paste from the Oracle9iAS Portal Web Clipping Portlet User’s and Administrator’s 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 Administrator’s 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.

  • Web Agent and Clip Board set up for multi user environment

    Hi
    Our environment is
    Database: 0racle8.1.5 on Sun Solaris
    Currently we are not using OAS but a portal server and Apache
    Intermedia Web Agent and Clip Board are working fine.
    The questions are
    1. if there are multiple users (content managers) who would be adding /modifying content in the database, the how can I go about with Clip board.
    2.The requirement is these people should be able to search documents on the basis of keywords. So how do we integrate Intermedia query capabilities on this clip board interface.
    3. For production level how do we go about implementing.
    Should we continue to have the ctxsys user and use that itself.
    Thank you for any solutions

  • How do I make a dashboard web clip widget inactive and then delete it?

    How do I delete a widget if I cannot access my dashboard because of that widget? Each time I open the dashboard it jumps automatically to a web page that wants to be the page I tried to web clip, but is just a blank page. I cannot use any functions of the dashboard.

    Thanks dominic23, but the problem was that I couldn't reach that delete button in the dashboard (or anything from the dashboard, couldn't even see it for more than 3 seconds) as the dashboard would automatically redirect me to a blank web page as soon as I opened the dashboard.
    I deleted the "plists" from the library affiliated to the dashboard (thus restoring my dashboard) and after I restarted the computer it worked.
    Thank you for the reply anyway.

  • Iphone Config Utility and web clip icons

    Hi
    I am trying to import a .png file into ICU to use as a web clip. I have created one in paint shop pro and one in Photoshop both have a 57 * 57 pixel size. Whenever I select either file I get the following error
    "value does not fall within the expected range"
    I am running ICU on XP.
    Can anyone offer some advice or tips

    Real sorry guys, even though it's been 2 years since original post, but I've fixed it.
    I am using iPCU 3.6.2.300 and the problem was not on the iPCU, but, you can fix your image on Photoshop like below:
    iPad (Retina display) 152x152px; Resolution: 72 px/inch; Save as Bitmap (.bmp) with OS/2 file format.
    and for other devices, just follow the guidelines for size (in pixels) at the iOS Developer Library here, with resolution either 72px/inch or 96px/inch. Just remember to save as Bitmap with OS/2 file format, not Windows.
