I'm on OBIEE 11g. I am trying to create a printer-friendly dashboard that shows in the footer how the dashboard was prompted on each page. I don't want to use the filter object because it is query specific and I have multiple queries per dashboard.
I've assigned all prompts with a presentation variable and I've referred to the presentation variables in the footer. I now am almost where I want to be. I would now just like to use javascript logic (supported in footer section) so that all blank prompts are filtered out.
Is it possible to refer to a presentation variable in JS? If so, how should I build the syntax?
UPDATE: The use of JS was not needed. There is a feature on the syntax of the Presentation Variable code that allows you to enter how you display nulls. The basic code format is this: #{var_name}. Adding an extra set of curly brackets activates the ability to modify the default display. #{var_name}{} displays the blank that I was looking for instead of the variable name I had before.

I'm not sure if you can reference a presentation variable from JS, and I think that's still an interesting question.
However, a more scalable/supportable solution might be to use the built in functionality – which I think could meet your requirement.
You could either make a new Analysis and drop in as many columns as you have presentation variables, and change the column formula for each in turn to reference your presentation variables. I'm not sure how you'd display that though.
Alternatively, I would probably do it in a Narrative view, where you can reference the presentation variables directly and possibly format it a little better.

we use the autocomplete component from RichWidgets and we get extra back-slash in the javascript which causes a bug in the autocomplete.
autocomplete JavaScript code tries to split the bulk of rows into items in the autocomplete list but the extra back-slash interrupt the split (js method from functioning well.
although we use the same component in another module (where it works perfectly without the extra back-slash) referencing to same RichWidgets but we still

this is only when we use Arabic language, it works fine in english.
Without more context, it's difficult to answer, but if it only happens with the AR locale then it might be the case that there are translations defined for those strings that are causing the issue.
Check if setting the behavior of those strings to not translate makes any difference.
I've been looking everywhere and I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for, I'm starting to think I should be looking at some kind of Javascript?
Basically, I have an amount £1,000,000 displayed over an image button and I need this repeated on a different page (The page the button leads to).
As I've never done this before I'm not sure where to look or what I need to be looking at as I'm a novice in this area.
Any help would be appreciated.
If the value is static so you can use content css property :
https://developer.mozilla.org/fr/docs/Web/CSS/content
If the amount is dynamic you should pass variable through Url or via form.
As I don't have a clue as to what you're setup is, i'll make some assumptions:
a static HTML site
no javascript frameworks (so no jQuery or jqLite etc)
with these assumptions you should start by looking up url attributes as a way to communicate basic information between pages.
As an example, the button href should look something like this:
/link-to-page?amount=1000000
then you grab the amount on the new page - with javascript - looking in the window.location object
This is a good resource
I have a question that bothers me on some projects I'm currently working on. This question is not a duplicate of What's the difference if I put css file inside <head> or <body>? or similar.
For example imagine an email service. User has some email inbox at goodmail.ex, where he receives an email from Badguy. Badguy knows source codes for goodmail.ex and knows there is some input on the page next to where the letters open, where the user should insert some sensitive information. Or may even be a popup, so Badguy writes the letter in HTML format and adds some position:fixed or position:absolute styles, so one of the blocks (for this example let it be email information - login and password popup, saying user session has ended, to renew, enter your data) with design like the goodmail.ex service has. The user thinks it's okay and not related so he inputs it and this information gets send somewhere else.
So! The question is not how I can block this css, some filtering with a custom parser should work well here, but how can I block user to use any of the CSS classes that goodmail.ex is using? For example goodmail.ex is filtering every letter for position:fixed, but has some block floating with a class named "goodmailfloatingbox", so the Badguy simply writes and the fakelogin gets the position:fixed attribute. This is something not really well explained, but I hope you will understand what is required.
Oh yes, iframe is not an option.
So is it possible to override existing defined class styles with some code in the middle of the page to make it safe AND make it as much crossbrowser compatible as it can?
Thank you
You could write a short script that uses document.getElementsByTagName for either style and link and the resultant array of values can then be checked to see if all the loadede css files are proper.
To override existing definitions, just use !important in the css file, and that will be the most dominant style (for that type).
If you want to load it in the middle of the page, you can use a javascript function that does the same as the first paragraph here, except it deletes the object that appears in the body, and appends it to the head object. I do that if I use ajax to update a page.
I have a single template file which renders pages that look very similar, but behave a bit different. I have a header and a few text boxes, which are filled by the template language, and there is a canvas, whose content actually differentiates the pages. It basically comes down to calling a different JavaScript function based on the page I am on, and I can't really think of an elegant (!) way to do that.
I have a single JavaScript file that uses jQuery's document ready callback to add interactivity to the site, and also to do the drawing in the canvas. For that, I have to call a specific drawing function based on which page I am on, but I don't know it at that point.
This is certainly not impossible, I can in fact think of several different solutions, but don't really like any of these. The script file is not run through a template engine, so I can't employ any server-side logic there. I could parse the URL in the script, but this sounds like a hack to me. I could also set a variable in a script block within the template file, set a hidden field's value or something like that, but I don't think this logic belongs into the template either.
So how is this usually done?
You can give the <body> tag a "class" value, and your JavaScript code can use that (and other similar cues) to know what sorts of behaviors to add.
For example, your code could do something like:
if ($('body').hasClass('image-gallery')) {
// ... initialize image gallery code ...
}
if ($('body').hasClass('shopping-cart-summary')) {
// ... whatever ...
}
Of course it doesn't have to be just the <body> tag. Your <canvas> could also get a "class" value (and/or "data-foo" attributes) to convey information to your code.
You can embed any JavaScript you want on to a web page, built with the same server-side logic you would build the page with. So you can set global variables or (preferably) invoke functions from your .js files with parameters that contain page-specific logic. Just supply the scripts between <script> tags.
It is not clear if you want to find the page you are on, or the location in the DOM of a given page. For the former, use location.href, or location.pathname to avoid the parsing.
I find the the Django Admin's default models.ManyToManyField widget to be cumbersome to use. It's the HTML select element and if you have a lot of Objects of the "other" model then it's quite impractical to actually find the "other" Objects you want to associate with "this" Object. And if you have a lot of objects of the "other" model it seems to even slows down the rendering of the Admin page.
I'm aware that I can build my own custom admin widget and apply it to my ManyToManyFields as I see fit, but are there any pre-built ones out there that I might use instead? In my dreams, I picture an auto-completing text input HTML widget. Is this even practical/possible to do in the Django admin framework?
Thanks.
Try using the filter_horizontal attribute on your admin class, for example:
class SomeModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
filter_horizontal = ('users',)
As mentioned in the documentation, "adding a ManyToManyField to this list will instead use a nifty unobtrusive JavaScript "filter" interface that allows searching within the options". filter_vertical does the same thing with a slightly different layout.
you could try using a raw id in the admin.
and the django docs:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.ModelAdmin.raw_id_fields
if you are looking for something with auto-complete you might want to look at this as a starting point http://code.djangoproject.com/wiki/AutoCompleteSolutions
and finally a very simplistic inline Example:
models.py
class SomeModel(models.Model):
users = models.ManyToMany(User)
admin.py:
class SomeModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
raw_id_fields = ("users",)
I haven't actually played with it but I found this promising looking library referenced elsewhere.
It appears to do exactly what I wanted. Rather than loading the entire list of related objects (regardless of how many there are!) and presenting you with a picker to select a few of them, as filter_horizontal does, it presents a search/filter box and uses typeahead/autocomplete calls to retrieve results dynamically. This is great for the case where you have maybe 5000 users and want to pick 3 or 4 of them without waiting for 5k <option> elements to download and render.
This is an old question, but I want to add an answer here for people who find this just like I did: this situation is exactly what Django inline admins are for. Specifically, I use TabularInlines with raw id fields for many-to-many relations that have too many choices.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.1/ref/contrib/admin/#django.contrib.admin.TabularInline
You can try using Inline model as such -
class ManyToManyInline(TabularInline):
model = MyModel.many_to_many_field_name.through
raw_id_fields = ("render_raw_id_using_this",)
#register(MyModel)
class YourAdminClass(AnyBaseClass):
exclude = ("many_to_many_field_name",)
inlines = (ManyToManyInline,)
Now there is another issue I faced, finding "render_raw_id_using_this" field name.
So, I moved to shell and tried finding fields in through model as such -
In [1]: MyModel.many_to_many_field_name.through._meta.fields
Out [1]: (<django.db.models.fields.AutoField: id>, <django.db.models.fields.related.ForeignKey: fieldname1>, <django.db.models.fields.related.ForeignKey: fieldname2>)
So, I replaced render_raw_id_using_this with fieldname1
Similarly, you can use these field names to render raw id instead of drop down list in Inline model.
