Icons in queries

kklosson

I've been having a tough time displaying icons in my queries. It seems that whatever settings I use are generally ignored in favor of showing nothing.

I've checked the icon selection in the attribute's presentation.
I've checked that there are no display rules over riding.
I've tried switching to other icons.
I've tried emptying the cache.
I've checked in multiple browsers.
I've turned on/off the function to save display configuration.

In my case, my queries on on a visual perspective but a spot check of queries displaying elsewhere indicate a global issue.

At this point, only a few icons actually display, but most do not. I'm using good old fam fam fam, so it should not be about the icons. Have I missed something? Anyone else having similar experience?

I prefer the Fugue Icons. If you want to display them on a Query just make sure you have " icon and value" or " icon" on the settings of your Query.

I don't think you get my point that I know how to do this, but those settings are having no affect.

There are no issues we this as far as we know. If you are sure it's a bug please send us the BSV with the description how to reproduce the problem.

I'm also finding that the query column name will not display an icon whatever the settings.

eg... date attribute with a 'caledar.png' icon & label specified in presentation settings.

In the query > column name > icon only / icon only, the icon does not show.
In the query > column name > icon only / icon and label , the icon does not show but the label does.

In the query > column name > icon only / icon only, the icon does not show.
In the query > column name > icon only / icon and label , the icon does not show but the label does.

In the query > column name > icon only, the icon does not show.
In the query > column name > icon and label , the icon does not show but the label does.

Just to add, I haven't come across any issues getting icons to show up in query results

Have you Run a fidler trace to see if the icons getting to the client? Did the .css customization you have been working on maybe step on the icon class?

nlarson, a bit of topic but still connected. Regarding Fiddler, I have looked at it and it looks interesting but what can you do with it that is useful when developing Aware IM applications? Is it CSS only or can you also see underlying calls, code etc. when being executed?

Also, is this the only tool for "debugging" Aware IM applications? I use Firebug extensively but imagine there might be other tools where one can see a lot more detail (Fiddler might be one of them? Are there others?)
Thanks

You can see every call and return between the client an server, but not the actual code being executed by the Aware Server. The primary benefits are:

• Monitor HTTP/HTTPs traffic from any browser
• Test the performance of your web sites and apps
• Decrypt HTTPS web sessions
• Inspect and debug traffic from any client

Between that tool and Chrome's built in DevTools you can basically reverse engineer any issues between the server and client and back to the server.

To use Ren's issue as an example, below is the return for one row in a data gird (extracted from a larger return). The Icon colum is in red.

<row> 
<id>18460</id> 
<BAS_REF_VALUE>Projects:18460</BAS_REF_VALUE> 
<Avatar><img src="versegoal_om4.18_Projects_Avatar_18460_16" border="0 vspace="0" align="absmiddle" style="margin-right: 3px" width="30" height="30" ></Avatar> 
<ObjectType><span style="color: #ffffff;background: #9bbb59;font-weight: bold;"><span class="aw-decorated-value" org_value="Project" >Project</span></span></ObjectType> 
<Title><span class="aw-decorated-value" org_value="VSU 1.0" >VSU 1.0</span></Title> 
[color=red]<Status><img src="TEMP_RESOURCES/versegoal_om_418_image196.jpg" border="0 vspace="0" align="absmiddle" style="margin-right: 3px" ><span class="aw-decorated-value" org_value="0" >&nbsp;</span></Status>[/color] 
<LastCheckIn><span class="aw-decorated-value" org_value="08/12/13" >08/12/13</span></LastCheckIn> 
<Owner2><span class="aw-decorated-value" org_value="Njal Larson" >Njal Larson</span></Owner2> 
<Phase><span class="aw-decorated-value" org_value="2 - Active" >2 - Active</span></Phase> 
<Category><span class="aw-decorated-value" org_value="Client" >Client</span></Category> 
<KeyCompany><span class="aw-decorated-value" org_value="Yes" >Yes</span></KeyCompany> 
<KeyTeam><span class="aw-decorated-value" org_value="Yes" >Yes</span></KeyTeam> 
<Description><span class="aw-decorated-value" org_value="Create the tools and content required to deliver VerseGoal University 1.0" >Create the tools and content required to deliver VerseGoal University 1.0</span></Description>

</row>

So based on what I am seeing here and as I can see from this the icon display code is actually reaching the client. So I would then check my local cache to see if the file is there, if not then I would cheche the server temp cache. If it is then I would start looking at why it is not being renderd by the client using Chrome's DevTools. And so forth...

Fiddler can not help with all Aware IM issues since it has no access to the executed code on the application server, but if it happens in the hand shake between the web server and the client it will be in the fiddler trace.

Thanks for the input re Fiddler etc. Will try it out.

Have you Run a fidler trace to see if the icons getting to the client? Did the .css customization you have been working on maybe step on the icon class?

I've only made minor customisations to the theme that would not effect the icons.

Have your tests been successful in displaying icons in the query column name?

I have fiddled (no pun intended) with this setting before and I think this is a bug and this setting is not to be confused with the ordinary icon in row setting.
See my previous post for clarification:
https://forum.awareim.com/d/6147>

Also, support can maybe verify if this in fact is a bug or how this setting should be used.

Hi Support,

Still, can't get icons to show on Ref Attribute Table of Items. When set up a Icon Only.
