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 ?

regards,
Marco

Hi Roel,

can you please explain me the last step(4. Add a function call to the jQuery 'start' function:).

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

Fix Interactive Report headers issue when using a Region Display Selector

By
When you have multiple Interactive Reports (IR) on your page and use a Region Display Selector to mimic tabs, you might notice some weird behaviour in the IR headings if you switch tabs. The headings are not positioned correctly and you get an extra empty row under the headings. It just looks weird and ugly. But if you resize your browser window, it all looks fine again (until you switch to another tab..) So can we fix this by creating a Dynamic Action that mimics that "browser window resize" event? Yes we can! Create a Dynamic Action that fires on Click of the jQuery selector li.apex-rds-item a . That should fire a JavaScript snippet :  apex.event.trigger(this.triggeringElement, "apexwindowresized"); So now a click on a tab not only switches from one IR to another but also fires that event that will "autofix" the IR headers. A simple solution for an annoying problem. This applies to APEX 5.0, I assume it will be solved in 5.1.

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...

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...
