Note
Some of the steps that were covered in detail in the previous chapter are common to both types of plug-
ins. The following process will not include screenshots for those common steps.
Initial Configuration and Setup
Just like the first plug-in that you created, there are some housekeeping items that you need to perform.
The first is to create a directory on your web server that will host the necessary web files while
developing this application and modify the plug-in file prefix.
1.
Create a directory called
c:\www\ApexDialog
.
2.
Modify the plug-in. In the Settings region, set the File Prefix field to
http://localhost/ApexDialog/
.
3.
Click the Apply Changes button to save your changes.
Before creating a test scenario on Page 20, you will need to configure the standard attributes for this
plug-in. Referring to the requirements, the affected elements for this plug-in must be selected. They can
be only for Region, DOM object, or jQuery Selectors. To meet these requirements, modify the plug-in
and set the standard attributes options as in Figure 4-20.
Figure 4-20. Plug-in standard attributes
As with all plug-ins, you'll need to reference a PL/SQL function(s) to manage the plug-in. The
following steps will define the PL/SQL function for the plug-in and create a corresponding empty
PL/SQL function in
pkg_apress_plugins
. The code for the function will be covered later on in this
chapter.
