I`v noticed Oracle have posted up a new free component: UseNativeFileInIndex Sample Component.
It allows the Content Server to index native files instead of weblayout files. Sounds pretty interesting and worth checking out if you have a spare minute or two.

The other samples available:

bullet SelectivelyRefineAndIndex Sample Component (also works with Content Server 7.5.1/7.5.2)
bullet RSS Feeds Sample Component
HowTo Components Sample (also works with Content Server 7.5.2)
Create and Modify Layout Sample Component
Add PicLens Viewer to Search Results

Ok, its bad times when you start dreaming you are at Oracle Open World, talking to some of the other bloggers like Billy Cripe and Jason Stortz..

Oh gd; I really need to get away from Oracle for a couple months…. and I thought a month of relaxing on holiday would of been good enough.. No, I didn’t attend Open World :’( maybe next time!

Bug 7431481: UCM

Yeah!! Afer my Rant yesterday it appears it is actually just a bug that was introduced to 10.1.3.3.3, so fingers crossed next meta update 10.1.3.3.4 should have the id problem fixed.. Few :)

Sigh.. I have just transfered one of my components I had heavily developed with javascript onto the latest version of the UCM to find that it appears the layout of the checkin page has changed!..

And it wasn’t even a clever change its just wrong!?!? Grrrr I`m so annoyed why cant you guys follow standards??

Tell me if I’m wrong to bitch about this…

This is an example of the code the checkin page page looked before:

<tr id=”primaryFile_row”>
<td><input id=”primaryFile”></td>
</tr>

After:

<tr id=”primaryFile Row34″>
<td><input id=”primaryFile 34″</td>
</tr>

Can you see where my problem now lies.. We now have 2 of the same html ids..
IDS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE UNIQUE!!! Why did you have to change this!? How am I supposed reference primaryFile row now?!

Whoever did this needs to change this back! I`ll be watching out for this change in the next meta updates it better be in there.. or.. or.. I`m moving to Documentum! lol…

Now to just create my own service and template, sigh… more pointless hours of work that I shouldn’t really need to do…

If anyone from the UCM development team thinks I`m wrong in my assumption, please tell me and I will remove this rant or correct it
