MacMenu for APEX

Image
By

A MacMenu sounds rather unhealthy, but if you can create your own one.... See it in action at the bottom of this page. The explanation on how to get this kind of result is also on that page.

Hello

a nice example, but i doesn't work work correct in Opera, the small images are displayed strange.

The example at http://interface.eyecon.ro/demos/fisheye.html works correct in Opera, so maybe there is some bug in your implementation?

Pretty but worth pointing out that Apple did get awarded a patent for the magnification feature of its dock.

It doesn't seem to work quite right in Internet Explorer. Do you know why? Also can the magnification be adjusted?

@Sunjay: In IE the menu shows up at the bottom left of the screen (instead of centered). I don't know why - and I didn't dive into it. The magnification is somewhere calculated - probably dependant on a CSS setting...??

Roel,

Does the MacMenu also work in Apex 4.0 ?

can you please explain from were the CSS file should be created, is this from your page were the MacMenu is located or is this from the http://interface.eyecon.ro/demos/fisheye.html page.

And where soould the function call
to the jQuery 'start' function be created ?

Marco

Hi Roel,

I am not getting where to insert the jquery code in apex.

Whether in dynamic action or Application process or In HTML Header of the page?

So please guide me on this flow.

Regards

How to create neatly formatted Excel documents using PL/SQL?

By
If there is a requirement to produce output from an application into Excel, you would probably create a CSV (Comma Separated File) with the data and start Excel to show the data - at least that's what I did...until now. The drawback of this solution is that you could only produce data and no nice layout. But Excel is also capable of opening HTML-files and using this you could create Excel files with data and magnificent layout! Let me give an example: 1. Create a procedure to show the data in formatted in an HTML table. CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE display_emp_list IS v_emp_count NUMBER(5); v_empno NUMBER(8); v_ename VARCHAR2(50); v_job emp.job%TYPE; v_sal emp.sal%TYPE; v_bg_color VARCHAR2(10) := ''; CURSOR c_emp IS SELECT empno, initcap(ename), job, sal FROM emp ORDER BY ename; BEGIN SELECT COUNT(*) INTO v_emp_count FROM emp; owa_util.mime_header('application/ms-excel', FALSE); htp.p('Content...

Refresh selected row(s) in an Interactive Grid

By
In my previous post I blogged about pushing changed rows from the dabatase into an Interactive Grid . The use case I'll cover right here is probably more common - and therefore more useful! Until we had the IG, we showed the data in a report (Interactive or Classic). Changes to the data where made by popping up a form page, making changes, saving and refreshing the report upon closing the dialog. Or by clicking an icon / button / link in your report that makes some changes to the data (like changing a status) and ... refresh the report.  That all works fine, but the downsides are: The whole dataset is returned from the server to the client - again and again. And if your pagination size is large, that does lead to more and more network traffic, more interpretation by the browser and more waiting time for the end user. The "current record" might be out of focus after the refresh, especially by larger pagination sizes, as the first rows will be shown. Or (even wors...

APEX ReadOnly Pages - The easy way

By
If your Oracle APEX Application requires different types of access - full access or readonly - for different types of users, you can specify a Read Only Condition on Page level (or Region, Item, Button, etc.).  You can set an Authorization Scheme on Application level, so it'll be applied to all pages. So if you have an Authorization Scheme named 'User Can Access Page' defined by a PL/SQL function like this: return apex_authorization.user_can_access_page ( p_app_id  => :APP_ID , p_page_id => :APP_PAGE_ID , p_user    => :APP_USER );  then you can code all the logic in the database using the APEX Repository, your own tables or a combination to define whether a user has access to that page or not. But alas it is not possible to define something similar Application wide for a Read Only condition. You can specify an Authorization Scheme 'User has Read Only Access' using a similar signature as the one above and use that on each and e...
