Release Notes

v4.0.0 Change Log (June 2018)

New Features

Performance Improvements

FOEX 4.0 comes with lots of code optimizations & improvements, focused on reducing the initial page load and render times.

Due to the extensive work we have done with optimizing our PLSQL code and the PLJSON library, page build times have been reduced from anywhere between 20-60%, depending on the number of regions, items & dynamic actions that you have on the page.

Note: For our next release (FOEX 4.1), we have been performing extensive R&D on 12.2c Native JSON types and are working out how we can seamlessly switch to this new type whilst providing backwards compatibility for 12.1 and below database versions.
Our initial tests they results look really promising, so when we do introduce it you can expect even more performance gains.

Content Loading into the Current Page

By definition this is how single page applications are designed. In previous versions we have mimicked this design by using iFrames, which presented a series of drawbacks:

  • iFrames cost close to 1 second to add to the DOM;
  • all scripts and CSS need to be (re)loaded and executed;
  • the Ext JS framework accounts for 3-4 seconds on page load to initialize & render

This improvement provides a decrease page load times of up to 50%, and is supported for all FOEX regions (except for the FOEX Desktop plugin), page items and all regular APEX & FOEX dynamic actions. Additionally:

  • all processes defined 'Before Header' will be executed;
  • inline CSS & JavaScript defined in the Page Definition will be included;
  • a transparent fallback to iFrame mode is also available for when a page does not meet our list of requirements or any Javascript exception is encountered when trying to load the page into the current page.

Note: The iFrame approach is still required when you are mixing regular APEX regions with FOEX regions e.g. JET Charts, since we are not yet currently able to render regular APEX regions in Single Page Mode. In future releases we’ll look to include support for regular APEX regions as well.

Theme Roller Integration

You can now customize your FOEX application style with the built-in APEX Theme Roller. You can change the entire look of your application with just several global level changes or use a more fine grained approach and customize at the individual plugin level.

For this to work, you will need to use our less file with the defined rules for FOEX components. There are two options on how to include the file in your application:

  1. Copy the FOEX Template Application as the base for your application the less file will be included automatically and you will not need to do anything else

    2. - OR -

  2. Include [foex source]/css/FoexVita.less in your application - set the path to the file in your application's theme's styles Theme Roller Attributes (Shared Components -> Themes -> Universal Theme -> THEME -> Input Parameter File URLs field)
New Triton Themes (Compact & Mini)

For customers which prefer a more data intensive and compact view or those who still use the classic themes we are providing two new variations of the Triton theme: Compact and Mini. Both can be styled using the APEX Theme Roller.

Note: You will need to switch over to using Font Awesome / Font APEX when using these theme's to ensure that icons are sized correctly.

Grid/Tree 2-way data binding with page items

FOEX 4.0 comes with the ability to use external page items to edit grid and tree grid data on row selection. The data binding goes both ways:

  • Grid row changes are propagated to page items;
  • Page item changes are propagated to the selected grid row

Note: Grids rows which have changes made are now identifiable with a blue triangle in the top left corner. This is in case you are editing hidden columns using the external page items, you will be able to visually see when the grid row has been changed/edited.

Enhancements

Navigation Plugin - Search

The navigation plugin now how an option to include a search field that will filter the navigation list based on the entry title and highlight the matches.

Grid Column Help Text

You now have the option to include help text for grid columns. You have the option of displaying it in the column menu or on hover of a help icon above the column menu drop down.

You can enable this by simply including “helpText”:”some help info” in the report column’s additional config attribute. You can find a demo on page 1520 in the FOEX Cookbook application.

Switch APEX Theme Style (APEX 5.1 Only)

Since we now provide styling of the Triton theme(s) using the APEX Theme Roller we have now included a dynamic action to switch the theme style.

Note: this is only supported in APEX 5.1+ since it relies on an APEX PLSQL API that was introduced in this version.

Grid and Tree Grid Improvements

We have included several new dynamic actions. The first is a set grid row values using a dynamic action. You can set multiple values in a row at a single time by providing a JSON object with “Column”:”Value” pairs.

You can target rows by either using the current row selection (multirow selection is supported), a column/value search using partial or extract matching, or using a single row index or index range e.g. 0 or 0-4 or 0,1,3,5.

The second is a reject changes plugin that will allow you to easily reject changes for the current selected row(s), a column/value search or the entire grid.

You can see an example in our FOEX Cookbook application on page 1252 for the Grid and page 3090 for the Tree Grid.

Additional Tree Grid Improvements

We provide a new action within the FOEX Tree Grid Actions plugin so that you can hide/show the tree root. By default the root is hidden since normally it is a pseudo element because the starting point normally is NULL i.e. Level 1 records have a NULL for the parent ID.

However in cases where you do start at a level where the parent ID is not null then we provide this dynamic action so you can show this starting point. You can see an example of this in our FOEX Cookbook application on page 3012.

We have also included two new events to detect before and after the root node loads. This is to eliminate the requirement for a client side condition on the regular FOEX Tree Grid - After Node Load event which fires for any node loaded in the tree.

Listening to either of these events is useful for many reasons i.e. prevent the tree from reloading because of some conditional check. Or you may want to expand only Level 1 nodes when the tree loads.

Slider Page Item Improvement

We now provide the ability to format and show step values for the slider page item. You can format the labels by providing a format mask.

Close All Windows

Due to the content loader change that loads pages into the current page we now include an option on the “FOEX Close Window” dynamic action to close all open windows prior to opening content via the content loader.

Content Loader Improvement

It is now possible to set content loaders URL to the page currently loaded in the iFrame. This is useful when you are showing regular APEX pages and have navigated away from the original page loaded by the content loader.

This is to ensure that on refresh of the content loader region (i.e. URL reload) the user can stay on the current page they are viewing.

Cookbook Improvements

We have included several new demos for existing plugins as well as adding demos for new functionality. We have enabled the new content loading into the current page functionality when navigation links are opened, but have also explicitly set some demos to run in the old iFrame mode.

We now provide a more visible button on the info pane title to easily edit the pages you are viewing in the cookbook application so you can easily peek behind the scenes at the page setup and how the demo was put together using the described plugin(s).

Behaviour Changes

Theme Preference

When using the theme switch dynamic action we save this value to an APEX user preference named FOEX_THEME.

APEX Preferences are applied at the workspace level therefore this theme preference will be applied across all FOEX applications that the user account has access to.

If FOEX detects a theme preference for the user it will use this theme for the application.

Removal of Sencha Ext JS Themes

We have removed the Classic, Neptune, and Triton dark themes from this release. The Triton Mini/Compact themes have been included to match the sizing requirements of these removed themes:

  • Triton Mini -> Classic
  • Triton Compact -> Neptune
  • Triton Dark -> Triton

The Triton Dark theme is now an APEX theme style named FOEX Style 1.

When upgrading FOEX from a previous version we will automatically change your application theme (if it is not Triton) for your existing applications based on this mapping.

Post upgrade you can manually change the theme to your desired selection under: Shared Components -> Component Settings -> FOEX Application Settings.

The reason for this behaviour change is because we provide theme roller integration only for the Triton theme. Effectively it is now our Universal Theme so to speak.

This will reduce support requirements and also mean that we can include more functionality in the future that can be easily styled by you / your developer(s).

Translation - Text Messages

Globalization of FOEX components works by using APEX Text Messages. Starting with FOEX 4.0 we have changed the way we use and output these Text Messages.

Before FOEX 4.0 we processed these messages in PL/SQL and output them on page render in a Javascript / JSON object.

Starting with FOEX 4.0 we rely on the APEX engine generating these and including them in their messages.js javascript file which is downloaded on page load and subsequently cached for future page loads.

This now means we have to create these text messages, if they do not already exist (previously we had used hardcoded defaults in PL/SQL), so that APEX can pick them up.

The text messages are created when running a FOEX app for the first time from within an Application Builder session. On this first time you might notice that some buttons do not show the proper text, but an internal message name like FOEX.JS.GENERAL.LOADING_MSG.

This is due to a timing issue where the APEX messages.js file request fires before the texts are created. Simply reload the page again with a hard browser refresh (Shift+F5) and the problem should disappear.

If you want to reference these text messages in your custom javascript code, you can use the apex.lang javascript namespace methods e.g.

apex.lang.getMessage('FOEX.JS.GENERAL.LOADING_MSG')

Content Loading into the Current Page

The new option to load content into the “Current Page” means you can now load a page into a page. This is the definition/design of single page applications and the biggest design change we have added to the framework since the initial 1st release.

Example: Let’s say page 30 is your main/parent page and you load page 50 (child page) into it using the "Current Page" setting in the content loader.

When page 50 is loaded into page 30 the page context is still page 30, it just has content from page 50 added to it. If you open session state or edit page from the developer toolbar page 30 will be the context. The same applies when you submit the page, the context is still page 30.

There is no iFrame used in “Current Page” mode it is simply loaded into a HTML element on the page i.e. DIV. This element is created by the region's layout manager which you are loading content into i.e. the affected element in the content loader dynamic action.

From a technical point there is much more complexity to deal with when loading pages into the current page, the benefits outweigh this though, but you will find some situations where it will not fit, so you can fall back to the iFrame mode.

We have also designed this new feature to automatically fall back to iFrame mode when either a pre-condition is not met i.e. one of the following:

  • The FOEX Desktop plugin is added to a page;
  • A 3rd party dynamic action is included on the page;
  • Any regular APEX regions defined on the page will mean that the page will be shown in iFrame mode;
  • If you want to open the same page multiple times you will need to open these pages in iFrame mode since you must use unique ID’s on a page and opening the same page will mean that the 2nd attempt to open the page will result in ID conflicts;
  • When an exception is raised in Javascript whilst trying to add the content to the current page we will transparently fall back to iFrame mode.

Note: Another important point to note is that in the old iFrame mode there is a clear boundary between pages so things like CSS and CSS classes on the parent page don't affect the child pages.

When we load content into the current page the CSS on the parent page can affect the child page loaded (and vice versa) because they are in the same HTML document and there is no separation - which the iFrame normally provides.

Note: If you have open windows on child pages, which are loaded into the current page, they will not be automatically hidden when new content gets loaded into the current page.

With the iFrame mode, when the content loader fetches a new page and adds this new content into a new tab/iFrame, it means that the previous tab would be hidden and as a result the window too since their page boundary was the previous tab/iFrame, not the whole page.

In this version you will have a new option in the “FOEX Close Window” dynamic action to close all open windows. You can use it before the content loader action to resolve the issue described above.

Sencha Ext JS

We have upgraded the underlying Sencha Ext JS framework from 6.2.1 to 6.5.3. This could potentially effect any custom Ext JS code you have written in your application. So please check/test your custom code.

v3.1.0 Change Log (December 2017)

New Features

Dropzone Multiple File Upload - Region Plugin

We have included the Drop Zone plugin to complement/replace the usage of our existing multiple file upload page item. The plugin supports the exact same features of uploading files to tables, collections, and file system.

Files can be uploaded via Drag & Drop and the area to drop them is the entire space of the region, making it easier to drop them into. The dropzone area will resize according to the region size when the parent region size changes.

Progress Bar - Item Plugin

You can now include either a static or dynamic progress bar item in toolbars or form regions to visually display the progress, usage, or completion of things. The progress bar gives you the ability to control the background/progress color, text, and animation capability.

The plugin comes with an associated dynamic action plugin allowing you to update the progress and dynamically change the colors. You can set the progress check interval, limit the number of requests, and also cancel the progress using actions.

Multiselect Grid Combo - Item Plugin

This plugin features all the same features as a regular grid combo with the commission of setting other values on selection and all regular APEX dynamic action support is provided e.g. enable/disable

Icon - Item Plugin

A simple Font Awesome/Font APEX icon that behaves similar to regular buttons. You can add a badge to the icon to display some text or a count indicator. The icon can enabled/disabled or set to read-only to use it simply as a visual indicator.

Return/Display Grid Combo - Item Plugin

We have included another variation of our grid combo plugin which allows you to enter the ID value of a LOV and perform a lookup. This plugin is a familiar item type for Forms developers. The plugin supports the exact same features as the regular grid combo item including set other items on lookup/selection.

Islamic Calendar Date Picker - Item Plugin

A new date picker that allows you to display and select dates based on the Islamic Hijri calendar. When used within the FOEX Form plugin, on form load the date value queried from the database, the date pickers item value will be automatically converted from a Gregorian value to a Hijri value. On form save the form value will be automatically converted from a Hijri value to a Gregorian value.

Enhancements

Grid Client-Side Validations

The grid will now perform all client side validation on changed rows before saving them to the server, if there are any validation failures then these need to be rectified by the user before the save/AJAX call is made.

The following list of checks will be performed if they have been set on the column editor:

  • Not Null (allowBlank: false)
  • Minimum Length (minLength)
  • Maximum Length (maxLength)
  • Minimum Value (minValue)
  • Maximum Value (maxValue)
  • Date Format (dateFormat)
  • Client Side Validation (vtype e.g. email, daterange)
Grid/Tree Grid Select Rows Dynamic Action

You can now select multiple rows with the grid select row dynamic action. You can select the rows by using an index range or a search based on a column/value search. The column/value matching can either be partial/exact or by using a regular expression.

Grid/Tree Grid Refresh Rows Dynamic Action

You can now refresh multiple rows with the grid refresh row dynamic action. You can refresh the rows by using the current row selection(s) or an index range or a search based on a column/value search. The column/value matching can either be partial/exact or by using a regular expression.

Security

Page Level Read Only conditions are now honoured by Grid & Form plugins.

Please note: that read only conditions defined at the component level will override the page level condition. This will allow you to have some regions editable when the page is in read only mode.

We now support the ability to reference the component information in authorizations using a FOEX API call. In order to do this one restriction is that you cannot cache the result within the Authorisation itself, but down’t worry within our code we will. You can use the following syntax within your authorisation PLSQL:

  • nvl(fx_p_component_api.get_component_id , :APP_COMPONENT_ID)
  • nvl(fx_p_component_api.get_component_name, :APP_COMPONENT_NAME)
  • nvl(fx_p_component_api.get_component_type, :APP_COMPONENT_TYPE)
Regular APEX: Execute PLSQL - Error Alert

For visual and consistency reasons we have overridden the browser alert produced by the Execute PLSQL Code dynamic action when an error occurs with an Ext JS Alert.

Notification Plugin

You can now define your title/message using a Javascript Expression. Within this expression you can reference “this.data” to access any parameters passed into the calling event which the dynamic action listens to e.g. “After Grid Row Select” you can access “this.data.record.get(‘COLUMN’)” to access the cell values from the selected row.

Grid Cascading LOV’s

You can now base your grid cascading LOV parents based on page items on the current page, not just columns from the current grid.

New Tab Close and Disable Tab Dynamic Action

We have included a new dynamic action to allow you to close/disable one or more tabs based on the current active tab, ID, or Tab Text. The tab ID/Text matching can either be partial/exact or by using a regular expression.

Continue IF Dynamic Action

We have included a new option in the Continue IF dynamic action what gives you the chance to cancel the calling FOEX event e.g. you may listen to a “Before Refresh” event and your Continue IF action returns false you can choose the option of cancelling the refresh action using this setting. Note: this applies to all “before” events.

LOV’s

All LOV items now support being based on a PLSQL Function returning SQL String.

Content Loader

You can now set icons on the tabs/panels opened by the content loader that use the “Triggering Element”. You can do this by adding a data attribute to the HTML elements e.g. grid report column link e.g.

data-icon=“fa fa-bolt”

Form

You now have the option to mark form items with a visual indicator (red triangle top left corner) when their value has changed, just like grids do!

Behaviour Changes

Page Level Read Only

The page level read only condition will now be honoured by Forms, and Editable Grids & Tree Grids. However please note that if you define a read only condition at the region or item level the result of that condition will override the page level read only result. This is the same behaviour as in standard APEX.

Region/Item Conditions & Authorizations

On all region AJAX calls e.g. grid refresh, form load etc. we will check all child region/item/button conditions, authorisations, and read only conditions for the region in context and will perform the appropriate action of hiding/disabling failures and enabling/showing successes. This allows you to avoid the need to create many dynamic actions to hide/show enable/disable items/regions. This change may affect existing hide/show dynamic actions with regions/items that have an existing condition defined.

Grid Client Side Validations

As mentioned in our enhancements section, all changed grid rows will have their values validated against any client side validation rules e.g. not null, minimum length, maximum length, minimum value, maximum value. If there are any failures then they need to be corrected by the user before the grid save AJAX call will be issued.

v3.0.1 Change Log (May 2017)

Enhancements

Oracle DB 12.2 Support

In earlier versions of FOEX we used PLJSON for JSON reading and writing capability in PLSQL. This meant that we had several types defined i.e. JSON which conflicted with v12.2 of the Oracle Database since a native JSON type was introduced. We have resolved this conflict in v3.0.1 and 12.2 is now officially supported.

Oracle APEX 5.1.x Support

We now officially support APEX 5.1 from this version onwards, whilst still providing support for APEX 5.0.x.

Individual Form Item Validation

You can now execute the defined APEX validations for individual form items e.g. on change, using the “FOEX Form Item Validation” action, rather than validating the entire form which you had to do in previous versions.

PLSQL & Static Region

You can now choose to execute any scripts that are contained within your HTML on region refresh.

Behaviour Changes

PLJSON

In this version to support Oracle DB 12.2 we have had to rename all the PLJSON types e.g.

Old Name New Name
JSON FX_JSON_T
JSON_LIST FX_JSON_LIST_T
JSON_VALUE FX_JSON_VALUE_T
File Browse

Due to the form submission changes in APEX 5.1 the file browse item will no longer upload via a single Form POST and will do so using a chunked base64 encoded series of A JAX calls using HTML5 File Reader API. We have also added the ability to restrict file types and file size and you will see a progress bar during the upload of the file.

v2.2.0 Change Log (May 2016)

New Features / Behavior Changes

  • Grid Multiselection – choose from 4 different types of selection modes and save selections within a page item of your choice. Note: when enabling multi selection on the grid end users will need to use 2 clicks to edit a record. You can override this by including “clicksToEdit”:1 in the additional config plugin setting.
  • Grid Cascading LOV Support – enabled by adding grid column aliases to your query and specifying the parent column within FOEX Settings.
  • Editable Tree Grid – we have added editing support similar to the grid in functionality, including support for easily saving tree nodes, which have been moved via drag and drop.
  • Master Detail – using this dynamic action plugin you can setup master detail relationships between grids, tree grids, forms, charts, list views, and big numbers. You can create multi-level relationships e.g. MDD, MDDD etc.
  • Big Number – display large numbers with optional: small numbers in the top right hand corner, font awesome icons, and control colour and fonts. The plugin also includes context menu support.
  • Static Content – display HTML in your pages with AJAX refresh capability.
  • Splitter – resize, collapse, and expand regions in a HBOX or VBOX layouts similar to panes.
See the documentation app for a demonstration of each of the new features.

v2.1.1 Change Log (November 2015)

New Features / Behavior Changes

  • Grid & Grid Combo generic search improvements. You can now use multiple keyword searching and use AND OR NOT operators. Numeric and Date comparators (>,<,>=,<=,!=) support has also been provided for grid columns with underlying number or date data types. Case sensitivity searching can be enabled via the search menu by the end user. Search help text has been provided via the search menu.
    To translate search labels and help text please see the globalisation documentation

    To increase the size of the search width you can include the following the grid additional/custom config setting:
    "searchWidth":400
  • By default when a grid is created all columns are filterable. One exception to this is link columns, which have been excluded from grid filtering. This is due to the cases where the filter may match the underlying column value but only an icon is being shown, causing confusion for the end user as to why the row matches the filter. In other cases however link columns may show the column value within the link text. To cater for this situation and allow you to enable a filter this type of link column you can now include the following attribute in the report column’s additional config attribute: 
    "forceFilterable":true

Enhancements

  • FXP-2092 Add FOEX Actions and hide/show dynamic action support for child HTML regions of a FOEX plugin
  • FXP-2142 Prevent row selection of other rows when a grid row is being edited by the row editor and has changed values

v2.1.0 Change Log (August 2015)

Behavior Changes

  1. In APEX 5.0 grid column defaults are defined within the FOEX config since the APEX removed support for defining these within the classic report. Moving forwards you will define these defaults using a PLSQL expression only. The old default settings will be automatically migrated for you when installing the latest version of FOEX. If you import an older FOEX application after the install of FOEX v2.1.0 you will need to run the following script (as SYS) to migrate the settings: 

    [FOEX Source]/patches/v2_1_0/move_grid_column_default_config.sql

  2. Grid custom processing: for INSERTs use 

    fx_p_grid_api.set_current_record_pk_value(p_value => val);

    instead of 

    fx_p_grid.g_current_grid_pk_value
    whi

    ch is deprecated.

  3. The tree grid now includes a load mask when the whole tree or individual nodes are being loaded from the server. To disable this feature please include:

    "disableLoadMask":true

    in the tree additional config.

  4. HBOX/VBOX layouts can now have fixed sized regions and scrolling capability. Set autoscroll to yes on the pane/layout plugin and then set set a fixed height on child regions for VBOX layouts and a fixed width on child regions of HBOX layouts and their flex value to Zero.

  5. The FOEX Combo will now honour display extra values

  6. Popup LOV shows full list on search icon click when a value has already been selected

  7. Grid Scrolling Pagination now supported it requires that "- No Pagination Selected -" is selected for the pagination scheme and maximum count rows is larger than the page size or is NULL

  8. To exclude pagination altogether and improve performance, grids can have the count(*) removed from the SQL query by setting the pagination scheme to "- No Pagination Selected -" and also setting the maximum count rows equal to the page size page size

  9. Grid sorting has been changed for VARCHAR/CHAR columns to sort case insensitively. This also works for LOV columns but they must have a VARCHAR/CHAR data type in the grid query. If your LOV column has a return type which is a number data type add a to_char() around it.

  10. To prevent a grid combo from automatically loading on picker expand please add: 

    "autoLoad": false

    to the grid config.

  11. To hide the tree/grid search column selector menu please include “hideSearchMenu”:true in the additional config.

  12. Grid Simple Check box columns can now have their value defined within the LOV definition using a "checked,unchecked" value definition as per the apex help text. e.g. Yes,No or On,Off etc. you no longer have to use a PRE-PROCESSING procedure to set the values

  13. Message Box now supports wait for result. So actions are paused until OK is clicked for prompts, alerts, confirmations and actions are cancelled on cancel button click.

  14. Number items are now consistent in both modes and will show the number format based on the item format mask when the field is blurred. This is consistent across all application translations. The decimal precision default for number items has been defaulted to zero. This may affect number items which relied on 2 decimal places when the format mask was NULL

  15. If you see the following message:

    ORA-20001: The Grid does not currently support the combination of infinite/buffered scrolling and editing. 
Please either use a pagination scheme or set maximum rows to your page size in the report properties.

    This is because "No Pagination" has been set but the number of rows does not match maximum row query count and grid editing is enabled. Please choose any other pagination scheme than the "- No Pagination Selected -" scheme.

v2.0.0 Change Log (November 2014)

Behavior Changes

  1. APEX 4.1 support has been dropped. V2.0.0 supports APEX 4.2 only, we plan to add support for APEX 5.0 shortly after its public release in a new version of FOEX e.g. 2.0.1.

  2. The underlying Ext JS library has been upgraded from Ext JS 4.0.7 to 4.2.3. If you have written any custom javascript you will need to restest this to ensure it’s compatible with the new Ext JS version.

  3. (Grid) highlighting has changed for cell editing your must change the prefix of "x-grid-cell" to "x-grid-cell-headerId". Refer to the Grid Highlighting demo in the documentation application which includes extra CSS settings for row selection and row hover.

    Change 
    .alert .x-grid-cell-GRID1-col-PRODUCT_AVAILABLE {
  background-color: red !important; 
  color: white;
}
    To 
    .alert .x-grid-cell-headerId-GRID1-col-PRODUCT_AVAILABLE {
  background-color: red !important; 
  color: white;
}

    Remove the !important from row highlighting CSS, leave in place for cell highlighting. E.g.

    Change 
    .price-ok td {
   background-color: lightgreen !important;
}
    To 
    .price-ok td {
   background-color: lightgreen;
}

  4. (Form) attribute "allowed operations" has been changed from a select list to a checkbox

  5. (Form) ) Form CRUD processing security has been enhanced. Read Only item default values will be computed serverside and updated in session state for the CREATE operation only if their current session state value is NULL. This is to ensure that they pass any NOT NULL validation checks and adhere to standard APEX behaviour.

  6. (Button) All FOEX Button click handling dynamic actions should be moved over to "FOEX Button - Normal Button Click" to ensure that toolbar overflow handling works correctly as well as ensuring actions don’t fire on disabled buttons.

  7. (Menu Items, Context menu items, Button Menu Items) items are no longer output with the ID anymore due to DOM naming conflicts. Javascript Expression In Ext JS 4.2.3 any menu items with the same ID are displayed incorrectly (the text can appear over the top of each other).

  8. (Menu Items, Context menu items, Button Menu Items) All dynamic actions for these types should listen to the context menu/menu item click event (not a regular click event and an ID jQuery selector) and use a condition to filter for the this.data.menu.item.id="STATIC_ID".

  9. (Menu Items, Context menu items, Button Menu Items) If you have defined URL links in your context menu, button menu, toobar menu's and you want them to replace the current page rather than using a content loader/window open dynamic action then you need to include "fxFollowLinks": true within the custom config.

  10. (Documentation Plugin) The background colouring of the plugin has been changed to be consistent with the chosen theme colouring.

New Features

  • Chart Plugin with support 8 chart types and multi series support.
  • Dynamic Form Plugin
  • New Theme with 12 colour variations
  • New UI capability within each theme to have 6 additional colour variations
  • Right to Left UI capability for RTL Languages e.g. Arabic

v1.2.4 Change Log (September 2014)

Behavior Changes

  1. (Grid) apex_application.g_request is now set during grid DML operations which means :REQUEST or v('REQUEST') can now be referenced in conditions.

  2. (Grid) "Display as Text (based on LOV, does not save state)" is now supported for grid columns. If you are using this display type in your application you will receive an error if you do not have a LOV defined. Previously it would have just rendered the column value, but now it does a lookup on the LOV defined

  3. (Grid) A grid based on a PLSQL function can now be made editable but a processing procedure override must be used.

  4. (Content Loader) URL(s) that only differentiate by item/value settings can automatically trigger a refresh of the loaded page rather than a full reload. See page 8014 in the documentation application for an example.

  5. (Content Loader) you can now control whether opened content can be closed or not, in previous versions all content opened was closeable.

v1.2.3 Change Log (May 2014)

Behavior Changes

  1. (Settings) The FOEX Settings plugin has been renamed to FOEX Application Settings.

  2. (Settings) A new plugin called FOEX Page Settings has been introduced. This plugin allows you to override Application level settings on a page by page basis. When using this plugin you will include it on the page with “No Parent Region” defined. This is different to the FOEX Application Settings which you do not need to include on any pages. You can see page 6 in the documentation application as an example.

  3. (Theme) A new CSS scoped version of the blue and grey theme has been included to reduce the impact of Ext JS theme styling on standard APEX components. You would choose this theme when you are using FOEX components in standalone mode on standard APEX pages. E.g. grid or tree grid. .You can use the Page Settings plugin to include this scoped version on only the pages that require it if you use a combination of FOEX pages and standard APEX pages.

  4. (Grid) The Grid Row Refresh action will now add rows to the grid if the Primary Key value you use is not located in the grid but found within the grid query when refreshing. This is useful when using a form to create new records in the grid. You can avoid having to refresh the entire grid contents to pick up the new record.

  5. (Grid) A new cell click event has been added and the Grid Set Item Values action has been modified to support this event to allow you to set page items with the cell value.

  6. (Grid) Timestamps are now supported by the Grid. If using localtimezone you need to ensure you have correctly set your offset/timezone using the standard APEX mechanism e.g.

    APEX Automatic Timezone Setting

  7. (Button) To avoid issues with standard buttons responding to click events when disabled please ensure your dynamic action event listens to the "FOEX Button – Normal Button Click" event instead of the regular “click” event.

  2. (Grid) Column HTML Expressions are now supported see page 3002 in the Documentation Application for an example

  3. (Grid) Grid Column editors can now be appended to instead of having to overwrite completely simply by adding config to the "Additional Config" FOEX section when editing a report column. This is useful for adding single parameters e.g for a select list columns you may want enforce that a selection is made:

    "editor":{
   "forceSelection":true,
   "allowBlank": false
}

  4. (Grid) No data found message is now based on the APEX report attributes setting

  5. (Grid & Form) The following classes have been added to framework buttons for styling capability.

fx-form-btn-first

    Tree Grid

    fx-treegrid-search-reset-btn
fx-treegrid-search-btn

    List View

    fx-listview-search-reset-btn

  6. (Content Loader) "Load in Parent Page" has been changed to "Load into Region Context" so you now have the ability to load content in the parent page or top page

  7. (Toolbars) By default all toolbars will now overflow all items that cannot be shown in a drop down menu. This applies to all toolbars irrespective of their position e.g. top/bottom

v1.2.1 Change Log (November 2013)

Behavior Changes

  1. For Theme 24 users we have removed the Interactive Report Styling override for the search box since this was impacting theme 25 and theme 26. For theme 24 users you need to add the following style overrides in your page template(s) before the <body> tag. 

    <style>
/* Interactive Report Fixes for Theme 24 */
input#apexir_SEARCH {
    height: 20px !important;
    padding: 4px;
}
button.apexir-go-button {
    height: 20px !important;
} 
</style>

  2. The page can now be submitted when a FOEX form plugin is defined on the page. In previous versions we disabled the page from being submitted. This has been implemented to allow you to use standard APEX tabs in your page designs.

    The impact of this change all form plugin items, toolbar items will not submit any values or be updated in session state with the page submit. Only standard APEX items that are contained in standard APEX regions will have their values submitted and updated in session state. Additionally buttons that have a setting of "Submit" and do not have a "Database Action" defined will now submit the page If you do not wish these type of buttons to submit the page then they need to be modified and set to "Defined by Dynamic Action".

    Change From:
    Button Action - Submit Page

    Change To:
    Button Action - Defined by Dynamic Action

    Additionally all form plugins with hidden protected items will still automatically disable page submission therefore you need to disable protection on these hidden items if you want to submit a page with a FOEX form plugin on it. All other page items which you set the value of locally on the page must have their protected status set to "No" to avoid an item value protection exception on page submit.

    In addition to the above standard APEX HTML Editors within a form plugin must be switched to the FOEX Html Editor item plugin type to avoid javascript errors with page submits.

    If you wish to enforce the previous behaviour from v1.2.0 and below you can add the following config parameter to the form plugin custom config section: 

    "disablePageSubmit": true

  3. For all grids which have a primary key defined in the grid plugin settings and have the export data to CSV option enabled, 2 new options will be available within a split (menu) button. The default button action is still to export as per previous versions but clicking on the menu you now have the 2 additional options "Export Visible Rows Only" i.e. you only export the data that’s currently in the grid and “Export Filtered Data” which will export all data that matches the filters applied i.e. data shown on the page and also what has yet to be fetched via pagination.

    FOEX Grid - New Export Options

  4. It is now possible to change the number format application wide without changing the application language. You can do this by using the following application wide in a page level process "Before or After Header":

    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE q'!ALTER SESSION SET NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS = ',.'!';
-- 4.2
apex_application.reset_g_nls_format;
-- 4.1
--apex_application.reset_g_nls_decimal_separator;

    To enable application wide:

    FOEX Global NLS Number Format Change

    Note: from v1.2.0 you can now switch the application language to German which will show German dates, currency and numeric formats but internal FOEX messages are still in English until will resolve this in v2.0

v1.2.0 Change Log (September 2013)

Behavior Changes

  1. Desktop plugin based on a DB table must have a new column called CUSTOM added.
  2. Item LOV's do NOT show the list automatically on reset (X) click. You need to add a new attribute to enable this - "showListOnReset":true
  3. Text Item now accepts input mask
  4. The form now processes non-db columns source setting for both the reset operation and next/previous pagination
  5. Form pagination by default now has FIRST/LAST pagination options in addition to NEXT/PREVIOUS when an order by clause is added to the form plugin. Use "excludeFirstLastBtns":true in the additional config to disable. First is always enabled. If no record is found a blank form is shown.
  6. The form supports dynamically evaluating form item conditions and read only conditions dynamically between each LOAD/SUBMIT. If you require additional items to be shown in create mode that are hidden in edit mode please see page 4025 in the documentation application for an example of how to do this using an additional condition check: OR NOT fx_p_form.processing
  7. Treegrid header refresh will now replace &ITEM_NAME. syntax serverside based on session state and #ITEM_NAME# client side based on page item values (that may or may not be updated in session state) previously &ITEM_NAME. was only supported client side and was conflicting with our standard practice of using #ITEM_NAME# syntax
  8. The window open and close events internal name has been changed to avoid a conflict. Therefore all dynamic actions bound to these events need to be updated. This is automatically done when upgrading your default FOEX installation, but if you import an application from an older environment then you need to run the following as a privileged user e.g. SYSTEM 
    DECLARE
    v_apex_schema VARCHAR2(200);
BEGIN
    SELECT TABLE_OWNER
      INTO v_apex_schema
      FROM ALL_SYNONYMS
     WHERE OWNER        = 'PUBLIC'
       AND SYNONYM_NAME = 'APEX_APPLICATIONS'
    ;
    --
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
        'UPDATE '||v_apex_schema||'.WWV_FLOW_PAGE_DA_EVENTS
           SET BIND_EVENT_TYPE = ''PLUGIN_COM.FOEX.PLUGIN.WINDOW|REGION TYPE|windowopen''
         WHERE BIND_EVENT_TYPE = ''PLUGIN_COM.FOEX.PLUGIN.WINDOW|REGION TYPE|open'''
    ;
    --
    EXECUTE IMMEDIATE
        'UPDATE '||v_apex_schema||'.WWV_FLOW_PAGE_DA_EVENTS
           SET BIND_EVENT_TYPE = ''PLUGIN_COM.FOEX.PLUGIN.WINDOW|REGION TYPE|windowopen''
         WHERE BIND_EVENT_TYPE = ''PLUGIN_COM.FOEX.PLUGIN.WINDOW|REGION TYPE|open'''
    ;
END;
/

v1.1.2 Change Log (June 2013)

Behavior Changes

  1. In this release we have changed the behavior of buttons positioning in the form and grid. Buttons will now be aligned to the left or right based on their alignment setting. For the form, buttons can be positioned at the top or bottom but not both. For the grid all buttons will remain at the top regardless of any different setting.
    2. FOEX Form Button Alignment Change
  2. Button items are now supported within forms and will be included on the page. Previously if one was defined it was omitted from the form.
  3. The Twitter plugin is broken in all FOEX versions as the twitter v1.0 search API was shutdown on June 12th, which we weren’t aware of or expecting. The new v1.1 API requires OAuth which requires a number of significant changes to the plugin. We will be addressing this in a future release. Our apologies for any inconvenience.
