Enable user to add an extra text field

I am creating teacher unit curriculum building plans, where many lessons make up a unit. Some teachers may have 5 lessons in unit, while other teachers may have 10 lessons in a unit. How can I have a form for a unit with 5 lesson templates to fill in by default, but have a button (or some function) that will allow the user to add additional lesson templates if they have more than 5? A way to duplicate a page and add it to the form, as a user with reader?
I was experimenting with using buttons to hide all the extra lesson templates if they aren't going to use them, but then there are still a bunch of "empty" pages on the form if they were to do this (say, if I were to put 12 fillable lesson templates in the Unit Plan form, but they only have 7 lessons....they's be "hiding" 5 other lesson plan templates and leaving a bunch of blank/extra space on the form).
Thank you in advance!

Hi Nikucla,
Unfortunately, we cannot perform this task in Adobe FormCentral as it creates static PDF forms and this functionality can be achieved in dynamic PDF forms.

Need a JavaScript to enable/view Multi-line option for Text fields.

Hello All,
I need a JavaScript to enable/view Multi-line option for all the Text fields in PDF Form.
Assume that I have a PDF form of Fields from F1 to F100 and it contains 25 Checkboxes, 25 Combo Box and 50 Text Fields. Now i need a javascript for which i need to enable Multiline for only Text Fields. So Is there any JS for which i can enable the Multiline option for only Text fields and not for ComboBox or Checkbox.

Need to add superscript for text field--HELP NEEDED.

Hi Friends,
Is there any way to implement superscript and subscript text in Crystal? For example, I would like to superscript the portion (1) of the following string:
"Buy(1) or Sell(1)"
The only way I have found to do this is to put the "235" in a separate text field that uses a smaller font size, and overlay it into the gap that I intentionally left in the larger text field. For display and printing purposes, this works OK, but if a report containing these strings is exported to Excel, the text fields are exported as separate cells, which makes the exported report look funny.
I can create this string in Word, then cut and paste it into a text field in Crystal (which initially seems to work), but as soon as I click off the field, all the characters in it are converted to the same font size.
If this can't be done in the current version of Crystal, are there any plans for it to be implemented in future versions?

hello all,
the text interpretation for html or rtf in fields will not render superscript or subscript. the basic rule is that whatever you can format directly in a crystal reports text object, that's what you can have interpreted.
look up "text interpretation html" in kbase for a full list.
one option is to turn html passthrough on the server in question if this is a huge deal for you...if you want instructions on how to turn html passthrough on, they are located in the webelements user guide at
http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/255
after doing so, you'd drop the database field into a formula and any html in the database field would be interpreted.

PeopleSoft Financials: Enable user to add/edit vendors information

I want to create a user would Add and Edit Vendors information from his account/UserID.
For that I have created a new User, but not sure what roles/permissions should be assigned to him to enable him to Add information for Vendors.
Right now if I try to add new vendor from his ID I get Not-Authorized error.
Please let me know.

Whenever you run into this issue, look up the content reference for the component in the portal through
main menu - peopletools - portal - structure and content.
After you found the content reference click on the edit link.
In the second tab Security, you will find the permission lists that have access to this content reference/component.
Assign one of the permission lists to your user and you user will have access to the content reference and component.

Help with selecting complete words in text field. Add Icons to Text Field

Hi,
     I am creating GUI for a Email program. The user can send emails, send files as attachment.
     When the user selects his files to attach I am displaying them as a string in a TextField along with there size
     The user can attach files with the help of FileChooser dialog invoked on click of a JButton
     e.g. file1.txt(5K), file2.txt(10K)
     Now whenever user wants to delete one of the files I want him to delete the entire file name with its size.
     So that I get the correct string of file names to send to the smtp server.
     Any one got clues how I can restrict the user to delete the complete name of the file.
     I think if I could make the user to select entire names, and restrict him from moving in the textfield character by character it would be possible. But not sure how to exactly achieve that
     Also I would like to display the Icon along with the file names in the TextField any ideas how it can be done.
     I get the Icon from the File dialog but don't know how to show it up in the TextField

The safest way to handle this is using a JList. But it is possible to do this with the JTextArea. For selecting the entire file, put an action listener on the JTextArea. If someone clicks ona word, it will highlight, by using setSelectionStart(int) and setSelectionEnd(int) found in JTextComponent. Use 0, the length, and the index of the commas for the points to start and end selection. As far as the images, I know it can be done (smileys in chat messages for example) but I've never seen the code to do it. It may just override the paint method and paint in an ImageIcon at the specified location.

PHP/MySQL: 'Add New' text field from menu in form

I am creating an events posting website. I'm having a hard time finding the right words to describe this, but: I'd like the user to select a venue from the drop menu, but then if it isn't there, to select 'add new' from the dynamic menu, and have a new text field activate where they can enter in the new venue name. My database is currently set up so the event table links to the venue table through a venueID. Is there a way to insert the name from the new text field into the venue table, and have the rest of the form still submit to the event table? Sorry this is so wordy, but I'd appreciate any help. Thank you.

You cannot add a new value to a related table at the same time as inserting a record. So, to do this, you would need to use both JavaScript to add the new text field, and PHP conditional logic to handle the update to both tables. It's certainly doable, but not with the Dreamweaver server behaviors. You would need to do a lot of hand-coding yourself.
The way that I approached a similar problem in my "Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS4" was to permit NULL values in the column that holds the foreign key, and insert nothing into that field if the value hadn't already been registered in the related table. I created a static value in the dynamic menu for "Not registered".
After inserting the new record with "not registered", the user then needs to enter the new value in the related table.
Once that has been done, display a page that lists all records. In the SQL, I use a LEFT JOIN to ensure that "not registered" items come up as well. You can then edit the item to add the value from the dynamic menu.
It's not the most elegant way to do it, but it works if you don't have the skill or time to hand-code all the logic yourself.

How do I add a new page dynamically base on the expendable text field?

Hi, All,
I've created a form with flow subform and expendable text fields. When the user fills out lengthy content, the form get cut off. Is there a way to dynamically add pages base on the content that user fills in the expendable text field?
Thanks,

May be you need check some things..
1) See if the form is saved as Dynamic PDF form.
2) The TextField should be set the "Expand to Fit" Check box checked in the Height property.
3) The subform that contains the TextField should set to Auto Fit for Height.
Thanks

Checking/Validating user input in a text field

How can I validate a user's input in a text field and require them to input it in the following format:
AAA 9999-999
(where A can be letters and 9 can be numbers)
Is there any documentation on how to validate user inputs in this manner?
Thanks!
BoilerUP

Hi,
Create a validation PL/SQL process, select Function returning Error and use something similar to the example below.
I tested it but may be I missed something. I used field name P1_TEST.
DECLARE
v_number NUMBER;
v_error VARCHAR2(1000);
BEGIN
--check if you have numbers in positions 5-8 and 10-12
v_number:=SUBSTR(:P1_TEST,5,4);
v_number:=SUBSTR(:P1_TEST,10);
--check string length
IF LENGTH(:P1_TEST)!=12 THEN
RETURN 'String length must be 12 characters';
END IF;
--check if position 4 is empty
IF INSTR(SUBSTR(:P1_TEST,4,1),' ')=0 THEN
RETURN 'There should be a space between letters and numbers';
END IF;
--check if position 9 has "-"
IF INSTR(SUBSTR(:P1_TEST,9,1),'-')=0 THEN
RETURN 'There should be a dash between numbers';
END IF;
--check if positions 1-3 has letters
FOR i IN 1 .. 3 LOOP
SELECT ascii(substr(:P1_TEST, i, 1)) INTO v_number
FROM Dual;
IF v_number>=48 AND v_number<=59 THEN
RETURN 'Only letters are allowed in positions 1,2,3';
END IF;
END LOOP;
RETURN NULL;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
v_error:=SQLERRM;
IF INSTR(v_error, 'ORA-06502')>0 THEN
RETURN '...must be integers only';
ELSE
RETURN v_error;
END IF;
END;
I hope it will give you an idea on this type of validation.

InfoPath form, rich text fields, "There was a form postback error" InvalidOperationException, There has been an error while processing the form

Using InfoPath 2013 browser enabled form.
I am getting the above error on ALL Infopath Designed Rich Text fields, where the "Cannot be blank" attribute is set.
To reproduce it, I create a custom list and custom list form with InfoPath 2013. I add 2 Rich Text fields and enable "cannot be blank". To raise the error, I put some data in the RT field. Skip to another field (so focus is changed and a postback
occurs), then back to original field to delete the contents (to raise the validation).
I originally thought it was associated with the HTMLCHKR.DLL not being registered (and I have re-registered it just in case), but the exception I get from the ULS logs reads (it is from a list AFTER I have re-registered the DLL):
There was a form postback error. (User: 0#.w|myDomain\jc, Form Name: Template, IP: , Request: h t t p ://MyWebApp/MySite/Lists/rtAfterHtmlCHkrReg/Item/newifs.aspx?List=2212ff41-77b4-445b-931b-d7e538c9da91&Source=h t t p://MyWebApp/MySite/Lists/rtAfterHtmlCHkrReg/AllItems.aspx&RootFolder=&Web=3db49106-bdca-47bb-b4cd-a549d2d86aa7,

I noticed that errors associated with the HTMLCHKR.DLL not being registered would have some sort of COM exception (example: TYPE_E_LIBNOTREGISTERED or REGDB_E_CLASSNOTREG)
I also should mention that this problem started happening about 3 weeks ago. We have extended the web application to handle HTTPS on the intranet zone (we had a reverse proxy project that did not eventuate) - would that cause something? How can I do further
checking?

Hi,
I have done a test in my SharePoint, and I met the same issue with you.
I created a custom list and custom list form with InfoPath 2013. I added 2 Rich Text fields and enabled "cannot be blank". I put some content in the RT field, then delete the contents, I got the error message:"there has been an

OFFICE14\htmlchkr.dll" will solve the issue.

But I just disabled "cannot be blank", and it solved the issue.

How do I use Javascript to populate a text field based on a selection from a drop down box?

Greetings,
I have virtually no experience with JavaScript and I am trying to figure out how to add some basic automation features to an Adobe form. I have a drop down box called "Hospital_Name" that will contain approximately 7 possible selections. When the user makes a selection, I would like to have the text field (called "Hospital_Address") below the drop down box populate with the corresponding address for the selection. I have the "Hospital_Address" text field configured for multiple lines and would like the address to have a line break between the street address and the city/state/zip.
For example, if the user selected "Hospital 1", the text field would display:
123 Main St
Anytown, CA 12345
Any help or examples you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

You have the element names within the object within brackets.
Make sure your brackets are properly placed and matched.
// Place all pre-population data into a single data structure
var Location = {
"--Hospital--":{ line1: " ", line2: " " },
"Bellevue Medical Center":{ line1: "2500 BMC Drive", line2: "Bellevue, NE 68123" },
"CHI Bergan Mercy":{ line1: "7500 Mercy Road", line2: "Omaha, NE 68124" },
"CHI Immanuel":{ line1: "6901 N. 72nd Street", line2: "Omaha, NE 68122" },
"CHI Lakeside":{ line1: "16901 Lakeside Hills Court", line2: "Omaha, NE 68130" },
"CHI Midlands":{ line1: "11111 S. 84th Street", line2: "Papillion, NE 68046" },
"Creighton University Medical Center":{ line1: "601 N. 30th Street", line2: "Omaha, NE 68131" },
"Nebraska Medical Center":{ line1: "4400 Emile Drive", line2: "Omaha, NE 68105" }
// some debugging code to see location names;
console.show();console.clear():
for(I in Location) {
console.println(I);
// end debugging code;
function SetFieldValues(Hospital_Name) {
    this.getField("AddLine1").value = Location[Hospital_Name].line1;
    this.getField("AddLine2").value = Location[Hospital_Name].line2;
This is not a beginners task but requires a fair amount of knowledge about the structure of objects, defining strings, and structure of arrays.
Are you sure you have all the field names correctly spelled and capitalized?
Do you get any error in the JavaScript console?
Just trying the line that defines the "Location", I get the following error:
SyntaxError: invalid property id
1:Console:Exec
undefined
All the form field in a PDF are processed by using JavaScript and any error in any script will stop JavaScript processing.
It might help to have a link to the problem form.
Make sure your brackets are properly placed and matched.
// Place all pre-population data into a single data structure
var Location = {
"--Hospital--":{ line1: " ", line2: " " },
"Bellevue Medical Center":{ line1: "2500 BMC Drive", line2: "Bellevue, NE 68123" },

function SetFieldValues(Hospital_Name) {
    this.getField("AddLine1").value = Location[Hospital_Name].line1;
    this.getField("AddLine2").value = Location[Hospital_Name].line2;

Adding a new text field in Shopping Cart screen

Hi,
I am new to SRM and I am working on SRM 5.0
My requirement is to add a text field for buyer's note with unlimited length similar to Approver's note in Shopping Cart screen.
I have seen in the forum that many have done this earlier and i need step by step procedure to complete this task.
I am able to create text field in Text Schema, but this field is not reflecting in shopping cart screen. Do i need to do any thing extra apart from maintaining in Text schema?
Can you please send the detailed procedure to do this task?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vamsee

Hi Saritha,
Thank you for your help. In fact, i have gone through this link and followed the steps there. But, the Text ID is not reflecting in my shopping cart.
We are using SRM 5.0. The requirement is to add a new text field with unlimited length similar to the existing Approveru2019s note field in Shopping Cart screen at header level.
I have followed the steps mentioned below.
1.Go to SRM IMGSRM Server->Cross-Application Basic Settings->Text Schema
2.Execute Define Text Types and then select the entry BBP_PD Text Object and click on Text Type.
Here, create new entry for ID as ZHTXT and Description and save it.
3.Execute Define Text Schema and then select the existing Text Schema SC ( Shopping Cart) and click on Texts for Schema.
Here, assign the newly created Text ID with details Header/Item etc.
4.I am not executing the last step Define Fixed Values for Texts, as the Text Schema SC is already assigned Transaction Type Transaction Type SHC.
Please suggest do I need to perform any extra steps apart from Text Schema to reflect the Text ID which I created in my Shopping cart screen? Or do we need to code anything on ITS side?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vamsee

Adding an extra screen field in CJ88

Hi,
The FICO consultant wants to know whether we can add an extra screen field in CJ88.He wants to add the posting year.Currently there is facility to add posting period and the posting year will be same as the fiscal.He wants to change the posting year.Due to this he wants to add an extra screen field - posting year so that the user can change it during reversal.
If yes then how it is bo done.
If not, is it possible to copy the entire CJ88 code and make zprogram and ztcode and add this extra field.
Please let me know your suggestion.
Thanks,
Rajani

HI,
Perhaps you can try with USEREXIT_CHECK_VBAP in report MV45AFZB.
Other possibilty is the BADI BADI_SD_SALES_ITEM, where the method ITEM_CHECK.
Perhaps the most powerful is userexit_save_document in report MV45AFZZ, but it works when you save the document. Here you can compare XVBAP (with the new item will have the field UPDKZ = 'I') with YVBAP (you can compare the line items of both internal tables). Finally, you can use the status of deliveried and billed of XVBUP, YVBUP, XVBUK, YVBUK to do the final checks.
Perhaps you can fix warning messages in the first exits (in dialog) and in the saving event set the error message.
Set the break point and check the data in these structures, and think in the right algorithm.
I hope this helps you

LOV on Text Field

Can we add LOV on text fields on Oracle Standard screen.
I am particularly interested to add an LOV on Qualifications sceen and want following three fields to be LOV enabled:
1. Title
2. Grade, and
