APEX 4.0 EA1 Plugins - jQuery UI Tabs


I decided to start the year with style by releasing an APEX 4.0 EA1 Plugin.

APEX 4.0 EA1 Plugins - jQuery UI Tabs (click on the "Download jQuery Tabs" link)



How it works:

1) Install the plugin


2) Regions on the page (including the region plugin)


3) Region "My Form"


4) Region "My Report"


5) Region "My Calendar"


6) Region "Tabs" (jQuery Tabs [Plug-in])



Voilà!

This looks very cool, but I want to make sure I understand what your plug-in does. It's a new tab interface, NOT the calendar grid, right? Because I found that pretty interesting just by itself. :-)

Thanks,

It's a new tab interface used when you want to navigate through your page regions.

Have you also tried to use the new "Sub Region" feature? Demonstrated in my Plug-in Sample application on page 22.

The advantage is that you actually see the hierarchy of the regions and don't have to rely on linking them with attribute values. If you want to parameterize the jQueryUI Tabs, you can still create a region plug-in to generate the jQuery(xx).tabs(yyy); which uses some settings. But the actual region would be generated by the template.

BTW, be always aware that the plug-in can be used multiple times on a page, don't use hard coded DOM-Ids like the #main.

Looks great!

Patrick I cannot find the example you speak of..maybe its been removed? If you see this perhaps you could post the link as I would be interested to see other options. The solution on this page looks great however.

Hi,

have a look at the following OTN forum posting. New themes in APEX 4 not working with JQuery tabs.

Hi,

Sorry, this plugin is obsolete, it was a proof of concept for APEX 4.0 Early Adopter 1.

Instead, try to create a region "Region Display Selector", it's built-in.

Thanks for your interest in my blog! :)

Asynchronous file upload to an APEX_COLLECTION

If you are using asynchronous requests to upload data into an APEX_COLLECTION, you will end up with an ORA-00001: unique constraint violated (APEX_040100.WWV_FLOW_COLLECTION_MEMBERS_PK) . The reason is simple, sometimes APEX tries to insert the same value (WWV_FLOW_COLLECTION_MEMBERS$.SEQ_ID). A workaround consist of managing queues on the server side.
