Data Upload - Enable end-users to upload data into an existing table within an application. Numerous functional and performance improvements. Great features I would say! For many of the above items we work around them with some hand written coding. As many of you know, I'm a heavy supporter of charts and dashboards and we've already been working on a non-Flash based charting engine for the current release of APEX.
This solution I actually showed at Oracle Open World too. Posted by Dimitri Gielis at 3 comments. The Links section as it currently stands on apexblogs.
I created that report as the alternative view. Posted by Dimitri Gielis at 0 comments. Labels: apexblogs. Most of the development is completed, but I'm still working on the new UI of the site. Before going live I also want to do some blog posts about what will be in this release, so if some of you have comments I can still consider these and possibly make changes. There are at least five other blog posts waiting, before the go-live Aggregating blogs and tweets is fine, but in the APEX 4 world, plugins became very important, so I definitely wanted to keep up with what people wrote.
At this stage it aggregates the Oracle Plugins page and the Community Plugins rss feed. I decided to keep it like that for now and am not including other personal links to APEX plugins, but might consider to do that in the future if I see they don't get posted in the ones I aggregate now. I hope Oracle Patrick doesn't start to change the look and feel and the way they organized the page too many times ;- As you might see in the screenshot, I added a Rating column I thought to review the plugins I aggregate and add my personal rating against them and some comments why.
Obviously it will be a personal rating and might be subjective. On the community plugins page apex-plugin. Some of you might remember I enabled the synchronisation of Tweets with the hashtag of apexblogs already in version 1, but I had to take it out as my procedure was sometimes hanging.
As Twitter was not that stable in the earlier days it caused to much of an issue, that was the reason it disappeared after a few weeks.
But now it's there again and better than before! It depends the version of your database, your security settings and your environment. I'm going to sync every hour and will put a timer on the page till the next sync.
I choose to store the tweets in my own tables to have an archive, to increase performance and to enable easier search options through the Interactive Report. The main reason for APEXBlogs was to aggregate the blog posts and be able to search in an easy manner. The way it was initially implemented was through a normal classic report in APEX and a search bar which allowed you to search for any text. Next you had the possibility to search between dates or on specific blogs.
To improve the standard functionalities of APEX 3. Another example is the use of the jQuery date picker instead of the standard date picker. So the above way of searching and the use of a classic report got replaced by an Interactive Report. This is how the report view of the Interactive Report looks like. As you can see, that view is similar to the classic report view I had in version 1. The big difference is that it's just an Interactive Report, so all functionality of the Interactive Report you can still use!
Adding filters, group by, doing highlighting etc. You can just switch between the two views. If you didn't know this functionality existed, you find it in the Report Attributes of your Interactive Report. There is a Detail View section which you have to enable and then you can add the html code you want it to look like.
Although it took some time to organise special thanks to Kathleen and her team and also during the event we still had a lot to do, I'm so happy everybody seemed to enjoy the event. I believe the sessions where of a very high quality and the overall atmosphere was great thanks to all the attendees!
Below you find some pictures of the event thanks to Patrick and Kathleen to share it with me. Here you see Anthony presenting During the reception on the first day we had some good laughs as well. It was a great opportunity to talk to all the people and have some drinks together. On the picture from left to right: Patrick, John, Roel and me.
After the reception some of us went out to have some food. They thought I knew Brussels well, which is only partially true ;- We were trying to get a place into the best two restaurants of Brussels but they were both fully booked, so we ended up in a Portuguese restaurant. The food was good, but the company was even better ;- The last day we had the quiz. It was great fun! John did an excellent job in reading out the questions and staying serious at the same time as some questions were hilarious :- The winners of the quiz got an Amazon gift card and obviously had to be photographed First place: Peter Draw for the second place: Edgar and Niels Third place: Roel Steven Feuerstein also gave us some books to handout to the people that didn't make it in the top 3: Carsten, Marco and Maurize If you couldn't make this one, we are doing another event in the first quarter of !
Posted by Dimitri Gielis at 6 comments. Lets start with some things you don't see of APEXBlogs; the code that is pulling all the information from the blogs and aggregating it together. There are a couple of issues with this method: The more blogs you have, the slower it gets to look for changes as it needs to connect to the blog, read, search for changes, disconnect, connect to the next blog, read, search for changes etc.
It not only became slower, it also used a lot of resources CPU and memory There are different kinds of blogs e. Interactive report hangs search string exceeds allowed character limit. Region Display Selector attribute is ignored on import for certain region types.
