Popup LOVs with a web 2.0 twist

The built-in Popup LOV item in APEX can be a powerful tool when the number of possible selections is too high for other item types that use LOVs, such as a select list. However, people often wish to display more information when making a selection than this item type allows. In the past, developers worked around this issue by either concatenating values in the display column or by creating a custom solution.

Custom solutions provided the ultimate flexibility but required a lot of knowledge and were not always easily transferable to other items, pages, or applications. The SkillBuilders Super LOV plug-in is designed to make these issues a thing of the past while providing a rich, web 2.0 experience.

Features at a Glance

Multiple column LOV support

  • Displays multiple columns when LOV is open
  • Column level selection and searching when LOV open
  • Allows for selection of a display column and a return column

Rich client-side user interface

  • Skinned with jQuery UI themes  (currently 25 themes to choose from)
  • Uses a modal dialog over a traditional popup window
  • Select from a variety of loading images, or use your own

Thanks - Searching on more than 1 word /

Appreciated Dan, thank you. It looked like a Oracle package restriction alright but wanted to double check. Seeing as we're not *supposed* to know how wrapped packages work!

Cheers, Pete

Searching on more than 1 word / wildcard
by Dan McGhan
on May 9, 2012
Hi Pete,

The plug-in uses the APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL package for the SQL processing. That package doesn't support searching all columns which is why the plug-in doesn't.

It is on the list of enhancements but there's no telling when I'll have time to get to it.

Regards,
Dan

Searching on more than 1 word / wildcard

Hi Dan,

I searched for a solution to this and haven't seen one yet... a comment from a year ago asked if you were going to implement a fix so that the Super LOV would allow searching with % wildcard and two search terms with spaces, i.e.
John Jones
John%Jones

I assumed this wasn't working because of the SQL escape mechanism but is this still on the dev list? It's something my customers are asking for.

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards, Pete

Dynamic action

Hi Dan!

Thanks for your response. The thing is that I set all other items by a sql query, but I'll manage to combine the two approaches.

Thanks,

Dynamic Action
by Dan McGhan

Josip,

Use the Execute JavaScript action and then $s to set the value. Here's an example:

$s('PX_ITEM_NAME', 101, 'Display Value');

Dan

Hiding or disabling

on March 16, 2012
Hi,
when I disable or hide an item with this plugin, the buttons are enabled. Is there a way to disable/hide the buttons as well?

Thanks!

Not Compatible
by Dan McGhan

Hi Jon and Benjamin,

I wanted to port the new release, Super LOV 2.0, to APEX 4.0 but we've been having some issues due to jQuery version changes so that may never happen.

Because of this I'll work on getting the previous version, Super LOV 1.3, available for download on our site, but in the mean time please email me and I'll send you a copy.

You can email the address found in the documentation or look for my email on my blog at danielmcghan.us.

Please keep in mind that I will not be addressing any issues with the previous version.

Regards,
Dan

Not Compatible
by Jon Reed
on January 26, 2012
I tried it apex.oracle.com. It worked perfectly. great plugin!!! Went to our environment (4.0.2) and I get the "NOT COMPATIBLE" message when installing. So I presume this plugin should be changed to be 4.1 compatible, and not 4.0 compatible.

Is the pre-December 17th version available?

Thanks. Again, great plugin!
