I am quite new to Oracle forms. I have been tasked with enhancing a form. There is a list item which has "New" option in case I want to insert a new record. Now I want to add an edit functionality too, but I do not know how to do it. Any insights will be useful. Please let me know in case I need to provide you guys anything for better understanding.
You can do it via this way
1.Store the list item values in a table
2. Create a new canvas with data blocks for that table
3. Make necessary privileges for the data block like (Update/Delete etc..)
4. In the main canvas ensure that you pass to data block canvas for edit options
P.S: Ensure Form level commits are present such that everything gets committed properly

I am doing NetSuite Integration for my product in ASP.NET.
I have created a Custom List in NetSuite account and I want to add values to this list through ASP.NETcode.
Please someone can help me with the sample code ?
The easy fix is to just convert the custom list to a custom record. There is a checkbox for that on the custom list editor screen. Then you can add values as you normally would for a custom record. Totally supported and logical to do if the list elements vary.
This URL will show you how to add values to a custom list, manually. https://netsuite.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10069/kw/create%20custom%20list.
According to this page (https://netsuite.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/10242/kw/suitescript%20update%20custom%20list), SuiteScript does not allow custom lists to be edited. I have, previously, found ways around what they say can't be done. Though, that is only advisable if you want to keep updating the code to make sure they don't break it with updates... :)
I am starting to build an app, using Meteor, that includes user-populated company profiles (including both financial data and text). I will be looking into a datafeed for public company information but much of the information for private companies will be user-populated.
I know I will need to create a form for the user to fill in so that the company information will be captured by the database. However, can I make this same form available to the user to both display the data and to allow them to edit the data in the future? Or do I need to build a separate view using tables for this purpose? My preference is the former, just one screen to create and edit as needed.
Any examples of similar instances would be very appreciated.
Thank you.
This is less of a meteor specific question, rather a general web technology question. Meteor can provide the data in the template of course, and it can offer events to process data and insert/update this to a database. This is the same as any underlying architecture. The question is really how to approach the problem with HTML & JavaScript.
A couple of potential methods:
Write your HTML to display the content in its non-editable form. Then provide an edit button to switch mode. When clicking this button switch on 'contenteditable' for the elements you wish to be edited: http://html5doctor.com/the-contenteditable-attribute/
Also reveal a save button, then process the event through meteor. Use selectors to extract the fields by referencing either designated class names, data attributes or name attributes. It would also be a good idea to alter the appearance of editable elements with a background or outline. The disadvantage here is that it's slightly non-standard and you may have the need for more complex data-types like dropdowns or checkboxes etc.
Create view with a standard form HTML. Style it in a way that shapes the information primarily for display rather than editing, eg. hide form field borders. Provide an edit button that when clicked alters the CSS and reveals form field borders, also reveal/replace elements which need more complex controls like dropdowns, perhaps turn on field labels too and of course a save button. The disadvantage is slightly more complex CSS and JavaScript.
I'm pretty new to Drupal and I can't figure out how to do the following:
In Drupal 7, I have a custom content type called 'Opening' and I want users to be able to apply to an opening.
So I created another content type ('Application') and I'd like the Opening content type to have a static field of some sort (ideally a button but could live with a basic link for now) that creates a new Application content (i.e. points to mysite/node/add/application). Besides, the Application should be somehow prepopulated with the Opening it "came from" (hope this makes sense).
I thought this would be straightforward but I've been searching around and I couldn't find a way to implement this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I would check out the workflow module.
That module seems like it has the functionality that your looking for. In that, you can create steps that users/multiple users must take to process information. In your case, you may want to make just one content type (say, Opening), and make the steps via workflow to match the cycle you need.
Additionally, if you looking to just make a form, you could use the Webform module to create the application form. You could specify that users who have filled out the form are granted permissions to use the opening content type.
Good Luck!
So I have a .Net website I made and part of it is a page where a database table can be filtered, queried, and displayed. Then I allow users to select an individual row to either edit or delete. Both of these functions are performed on their own separate pages. Recently I was asked to add functionality to the first page to allow for the query filtering to be preserved between visits. For example, if a user edits a row then returns to the table, the filters they selected should still be in place.
My question is what's the easiest way to do this. The problem is that many of the filters are dynamically generated based on another table in the DB so they aren't statically coded into the page. One option would be passing the filter string in the query string but this seems unpractical because of the possible great length it may be. I also thought about opening a new window but there are concerns about security and data duplication. I could also use an iframe to load the pages and hide the original content until done editing but I'm not sure how to access clicks from within the iframe in the surrounding page, or if this is even a good idea.
Any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
You could encapsulate your functionality into a User Control that both pages can use.
How to: Convert Web Forms Pages into ASP.NET User Controls
You could use a SESSION variable to store a Dictionary<string, object> or something similar which contains keys identifying each table and values representing the filter. The actual filtering options shouldn't be too much information to store for a given session.
Without knowing how your application captures the concept of a filter it's a little difficult to offer a fully-qualified solution, but session seems like a decent option.
You can keep the filter in a cookie on the user side. Granted not a perfect solution but it's one way to go.
We have about 10 applications that basically do the same thing, all written using the Wizard Control for .Net 2.0. The flow they follow is pretty simple:
1. User selects option from a drop downs.
2. Next page has more options more narrowed.
3. User sees confirmation page.
4. Report is generated.
Some of these applications have optional pages, such as allowing the user to upload custom images for the report and allowing the user to select specific lines of data.
I'm attempting to merge these applications, but I'm not sure I'm approaching this the correct way. My first inclination is to create configuration tables in SQL to drive the menus that appear. So, for example, there might be a table with the WizardId, Name, Theme, etc., also a table of steps, and another table to link everything together.
Is there an easier way to approach this that I'm just missing?
We've been thinking through this issue lately and I've come up with two options that both seem valid, just have different uses. One way to do it, similar to what you have described, is to create the following:
A table that holds the wizard information
A table that lists the types of questions to be asked in each wizard
A table to hold the data entered by the user for each question
This is very flexible, but the problem is you have to dynamically generate all the controls you need to collect the information (textbox, drop down, radio, file upload, etc) and store how to display that control in your database.
The other approach that we have tried out on a recent project is to associate a user control with either each wizard or type of wizard step. It isn't as modular, but you have a lot of control over how the controls are arranged and how you collect the data.
I think both approaches are useful in different scenarios. Going with a database driven approach allows you to generate new questions and wizards easily, but lacks the user friendly approach that we wanted for our new application.
