Form / Layout template conversion

Hi,
I have several form templates / layouts that have been created in Adobe Output Designer 5.5 (for mySAP) and I want to migrate these form templates so that they can been used in SAP Adobe Document Server.
Does anyone have any information on this? Any tools available? Documentation? Links?
cheers,
Joseph Gill

hi Joseph,
for starters, have a look at the Adobe page here in SDN:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn?rid=/webcontent/uuid/21e4975d-0501-0010-1db9-8c45d832670a [original link is broken]
It contains lots of useful information, documentation, and e-learning materials teaching you the basics

How to build a BIG TREE with Tree-Form layout

Hi,
I do have a self-referenced table with our org structure - 15 000 positions.
I do want to create a tree with this structure.
Requirements :
a, to have a tree-form layout
b, to have search capabilities
I have tried to use several combinations (maybe all)
- from using only one View object and create recursive tree - doesn't even run
- to use two View objects, first as top level nodes, the other as the rest - it runs
but I can search only top level, and what is worse, by clicking on the node for showing additional information (tree-form layout) I'm waiting for ages for seeing the info
(it seems that all records are loaded one by one into AS)
Could you provide some ideas how to deal with this ?
Thanks.

I am sorry, this is beyond the scope of this forum.
As with any functionality not directly provided by JHeadstart, you can build it yourself using the ADF design time tools in JDeveloper. Please use the JDeveloper forum for help on this first step.
Then, to keep your pages generatable you can move these customizations to custom templates. We are happy to help you with this last step, should you have problems there.

Form Layout with strictly html

Is there any way to control form layout completely by using html? I know it seems to take away the GUI advantage of HTML DB, but I am struggling trying to make very simple form layout changes that way. I'd like to have HTML DB automatically create the form and all the javascript that goes along with it, and then do all the layout editing myself using html. Is that possible?

hi brice--
though i do think we offer similar functionality to what you're asking, we don't give you exactly that. if i'm understanding you correctly, you'd like htmldb to generate your page for you. you'd then like to be able to take the html from such a generated page and change the html to get the exactly look/feel you're after. we don't let you do exactly that, but, as i think you know, you're certainly more than welcome to change the html that goes into htmldb pages. to do so, though, you'd have to edit the appropriate widget or template that created the html you're editing. if you're asking for something different, then please do say so, but for now you'd have to edit your htmldb html in pieces.

Displaying multiple rows in a form layout problem?

HI,
I displayed multiple rows using form layout,but form browse buttons displaying one row multiple times like if i click next it is displaying same rows in next page also ?
how can I prevent this?
very urgent
Thanks in advance

Set the table range size property to the number of rows you want to display.
Then as a post-generation action, drag and drop the Next Set and Previous Set operations of your View Object usage as buttons onto your page.
Then move the button code to a custom template, and uncheck group-level checkbox "Clear Page Definition before generation" to preserve the NextSet and PreviousSet action bindings.

Open the form layout in input mode if no record exists in the VO?

Hi,
I am using
JDeveloper version: Studio Edition Version 10.1.3.1.0.3984
JHeadstart version: 10.1.3.1 Release 10.1.3.1.26
I have a group with Form Layout where Single-Row Insert allowed is true.
What I want to do is:
When I open this form in the browser, it will open with the existing record in the ViewObject associated with this form, if there is any record exists.
But if there is no record exists in the ViewObject, then it will open the form in input mode (user will not need to click the 'New' button to create a record).
I tried setting the property 'Auto Query?' to false. But in that case it opens the form in input mode all the time, it does not open with the existing record.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
This is not natively supported in the 10.1.3 releases of JHeadstart. Can you please ask this question at the JDeveloper forum at JDeveloper and ADF ?
You can use the JHeadstart templating to save your customizations of course, see the JHeadstart Dev Guide chapter on customization.
Thanks!

How to add 2 rows in the form layout?

In the detail page,form layout only one row pick up from database and it displays please anyone have idea about how to display 2 rows or 3 rows in a page?
how to add 2 rows in the form layout?
It's very urgent
Thanks in advance

No. You can only achieve this with smart custom templates. Here is sample code which will display multiple employees in form layout:
<af:forEach items="#{bindings.EmployeesTable.rangeSet}" var="row">
<af:panelForm rows="1" maxColumns="2" width="10%" id="RegionsFormItems">
<af:inputText id="EmployeesEmployeeId" value="#{row.LastName}" label="EmployeeId" .... />
<af:selectInputDate id="EmployeesHireDate" value="#{row.HireDate}" label="HireDate" ...... >
<af:convertDateTime pattern="#{nls.datepattern}"/>
</af:selectInputDate>
</af:panelForm>
</af:forEach>

Region - Display only on form layout page

Hi,
1) I have defined regions on table-form layout style. How ever I want the regions to be displayed only on the Form layout and not on the table layout page that has the search functionality. Is there a way to hide the regions on the search page?
2) Also for display type "textinput" (read-only), eventhough I checked the "Column wrap?" checkbox, the text still spans across the page and not wrapping.
Please help!
Thanks.

Regions enclose items. You can set the Display in Form Layout, Display in Table Layout and Include in Advanced Search properties on the items within the regions, but you are probably asking how to also hide the region title and line for items that are not displayed on the table/search page.
Although there may be a better way to handle this, we've created a custom template for the Regions node under the group. The template is attached to the VERTICAL_REGION_CONTAINER template on that node. The template has code that turns off generation of the region if the region name is a certain string,
We copied the current verticalRegionContainer.vm and added conditional code to the top of it like this:
#if (((($subRegion.title=="Title1") || ($subRegion.title=="Title2")) && (${JHS.current.pageComponent.processingAdvancedSearchArea}))
          || (($subRegion.title=="SearchTitle") && !${JHS.current.pageComponent.processingAdvancedSearchArea}))
       ## do nothing
    #else
## the usual stuff in this template
#endIn this example, the Title1 and Title2 regions are not being displayed on the search form (Advanced search)/table page but are displayed on the Form (Insert/update) page. The SearchTitle region is displayed on the Advanced Search/ table page but not on the Form (insert/update) page. Something like that may work in your case.
If you want some fields to appear on both, but in different regions, copy the items and drop them under the appropriate regions.

How to exchange data between the html in the form layout and itsparameters?

i am trying to rephrase a question i asked a few days back and which yielded no response.
is there any way to exchange/transfer values or data between the html in the form layout editor and the form parameters?
for instance, is there any bridge such that the form template design (controlled by some html-based attribute), or the display property (again managed by some string value for the style:display attribute) of some of its divisions etc could be controlled by the values passed to some parameters of a portal form?
has any body ever tried to do it or thought of doing it? or it's inherrently beyond the portal forms capacity?
folks, any clues or hints on 'yes, that's how' or 'no, and that's why not!' please? will greatly appreciate.

Can i make a book in iPhoto without using any of the built in layout templates, which are too limiting when i have already cropped my pictures to show just what I want. Ideally I just want to drag and drop and arrange and size the pictures myself

If you have Pages you can create customs pages for your book as TD suggested. If you have Pages from iWork 09 or 11 this app will add 80 or so additional frames to those offered: Frames and Strokes Installer. Don't use it on the latest Pages version, however.
This tutorial shows how to create a custom page with the theme's background: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book. Once the page is complete to get it into iPhoto as a jpeg file follow these steps:
Here's how to get any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
3 - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
NOTE: If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. For books to be printed choose 300 dpi.

Can i set the content of input text in a form layout in the uix page center

Hi
i have a simple question, how can i set the content of an input text in a form layout in the .uix page center?
i saw in the page properties but i didn't found.
thank you for your help.

Sirrick,
If I understand your question correctly, you want to programmatically set how many array elements (clusters) to show. You can do this with the Array properties: Number of Rows and Number of Columns. Please see the attached VI.

How to right align a read only numeric field in a panel form layout

Hi, does anyone know how to right align a read only numeric field in a panel form layout? I am using: Style Class = AFFieldNumberMarker, but it only seems to work if the field is disabled. Disabling the field gives it a difference appearance that does not look right on our forms. These are calculated fields, which cannot be modified, so read only is necessary.
I have looked online for some answers, and it seems that others are having similar issues.
I have tried different combinations for the properties, but so far I cannot get it to work.
Thanks

Creation of new layout templates

Hello,
in the portal there are some layout templates available for pages. They are used for the innerpage of default frameworkpage ,too. I like to change the width of first column of the narrowWide 2 columns layout. Found in online Help that you have to use the developer studio or change the *.jsp file directly to get a customized layout (template). I don`t like to change the available jsp files. Best idea would be to have a new jsp file in place on which a new template is based. I found the narrowWide.jsp in the file system where you can change easily the width of colums. But how can I get a new jsp File? Is this only possible by using the developer studio or is there another way to do that?
Thanks for every response.
Regards
Alex

Hello Ganesh,
I like to go closer to your solution.
Ok, my steps would be:
1. Searching the folder where the narrowWide.jsp and the related portalapp.xml is found (usr\sap\...).
2. Make a copy of the narrowWide.jsp, rename it to narrow35Wide65.jsp and save it in the same folder where the narrowWide were found.
3. Edit the new *.jsp file and change the width of narrow column to 35% and wide column to 65% (result should be increasing the narrow column width)
4. Rename the extension of current portalapp.xml in the same folder to portalapp.xml.bak and make a copy of the file in same folder giving the original file name.
5. Editing the portalapp.xml and paste a new component entry based to the narrowWide component entry. Here I have to change the component name and the jsp file name only like in this example, right?
</component>
- <component name="<b>narrow35Wide65</b>">
- <component-config>
<property name="ClassName" value="com.sapportals.portal.pb.layout.PageLayout" />
<property name="ResourceBundleName" value="pagebuilder_nls" />
<property name="SafetyLevel" value="no_safety" />
</component-config>
- <component-profile>
<property name="ComponentType" value="com.sapportals.portal.layout" />
<property name="com.sap.portal.pcm.Title" value="2 Columns (Narrow:Wide)" />
<property name="com.sap.portal.pcm.Description" value="Two-column layout displaying the narrow column on the left" />
<property name="com.sap.portal.reserved.layout.TagLibLayout" value="/SERVICE/com.sap.portal.pagebuilder/taglib/layout.tld" />
<property name="com.sap.portal.reserved.layout.TagLibHtmlb" value="/SERVICE/com.sap.portal.htmlb/taglib/htmlb.tld" />
<property name="com.sap.portal.reserved.layout.TemplateFile" value="<b>narrow35Wide65.jsp</b>" />
<property name="AuthScheme" value="anonymous" />
- <property name="com.sap.portal.reserved.layout.Cont1" value="column1">
<property name="plainDescription" value="Column 1" />
<property name="orientation" value="vertical" />
<property name="designClass" value="prtlPageConL" />
</property>
- <property name="com.sap.portal.reserved.layout.Cont2" value="column2">
<property name="plainDescription" value="Column 2" />
<property name="orientation" value="vertical" />
<property name="designClass" value="prtlPageConR" />
</property>
</component-profile>
All other values can stay same?
6. Is a restart of portal server necessary?
7. It should be able to create a new layout template in PCD based to narrow35Wide65.
Will this work?
Thanks and regards
Alex
