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Sorry, this plugin is obsolete, it was a proof of concept for APEX 4.0 Early Adopter 1.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

A New Dawn: From Oracle Apex to Generative AI

Hello dear readers, If you've been here before, you'll remember a time when this space was filled with insights and tutorials on Oracle Application Express (Apex). It's been over a decade since my last post, and the tech landscape has shifted remarkably since then. Today, I'm excited to delve into a topic that has piqued my interest in recent years: Generative AI, specifically focusing on prompt engineering for models like GPT and platforms such as Midjourney. Why the shift? In the past, I explored the intricacies of Apex, offering a helping hand to many as they navigated that ecosystem. But as I evolved in my tech journey, I became fascinated by how AI can generate content, assist in decision-making, and even partake in creative processes. What is Generative AI? Generative AI models, like GPT by OpenAI, are designed to produce content. By feeding them prompts, these models can write essays, poems, code, and even music. But the true art lies in "prompt engineering&
