Form with Upload Facility

Hi there.
I'm looking at implementing an online form on a website, that has the abilility for the user to attach a file (will most likely be a word document or a pdf).
I have made forms before, but never with uploads.
If possible, it will email the attachment with the other form field data.
Can anyone suggest a tutorial or a script that will allow me to do this?
Many thanks in advance,
Craig

Hi there.
Thanks for the reply.
I missed that bit out of the post, sorry.
I intend to use php and html.
Thanks,
Craig

Need Guidance to create a form with Upload,browser and clear button

Task :1) Browse should open a dialog box window for user to select an excel file on his local machine. Once the name of file is on the ticket item file name, the upload button should load data of this file into a database stage table.
2) Host being called from forms u .Once it reaches server it is easy to load in DB via forms
3) File transfer should happen automatically when user presses the button on form the code in the button should make use of host command and fire command to move the file.

Have you tried searching the web? There are numerous examples of how to read and Excel file into a Form. Here is just one, for example: WebUtil: How to Read an Excel file into an Oracle Form . This example can easily be modified to write the file to a table versus displaying it in the form. Or...you could simply read the file into a base table block and use standard Forms Commit processing to save the data to your table.

User entry form with submit facility

Hi,
I want to create and user entry form, which users can fill there information and submit it. The information i want to insert in table in oracle db and not in webcenter site db.
I am looking in developer guide on page 217 with topic "Code entry form", there they have created a form and inserted data in Employee_info table. I think they have created table somewhere in catalogManager.
Please can anyone tell me, how i can directly connect to my oracle db and proceed with form submit?
Can i create jsp and java file , in the same way we create in our normal application?
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
You can use most Java code inside a jsp-type CSElement to save the form data in a way that you're familiar with. I'd suggest doing one of the following:
a) Create a separate connection pool on the WebCenter Sites appserver for the oracle database, and use your own code to access this connection pool and store data in the table
or
b) post the form to your "normal application" and have that process the form and store the data, assuming that's where you'll be using the data.
You could also create a non-managed jsp inside the WebCenter Sites appserver, but this could be hard to maintain.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Stephan.

If you need to control height and width of your uploaded images, then you must use the APEX_UTIL.GET_BLOB_FILE_SRC function. Please refer to this documentation:
[http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E10513_01/doc/apirefs.310/e12855/apex_util.htm#AEAPI129]

Conserving filename with upload via portal form into blob type

Hi
I have a little question. Is there any chance to conserve a filename, which was uploaded into blob column via portal form and then create link for this file with the same name?
null

Vlasta,
You certanly can save the original filename in your form, to do that you will need to add a FILENAME varchar2 column to your table and write a simple Javascript (search this forum for examples) to copy the fileselect value with onChange event. So, when you submit the form with your file the original name will be stored in you table.
Thanks,
Dmitry

Uploading a form with document using resource template

Hi,
I'm moving a system from Portal to Apex. The system has a number of "procedure pairs", one procedure printing a form and the other being the "action" of the form. Mod_plsql would handle the file uploaded and the action procedure would be aclled with the file name and all meta data.
A resource template seem to be able to handle this.
So I have created a POST method, pl/sql type handler called upload (that's the whole template).
I have the :contentType and :body working, my problem is the meta data (other fileds in the form).
My form looks like this:
<form name="kr_form" action= "http://<server>/apex/upload" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" >
<input name="p_filename" type="file" size="20"><br>
<input name="p_title" id="p_title" type="text" size="20"><br>
<input type="submit" value="Save">
</form>
How am I to access p_title in my handler?
I've tried adding a parameter without success. My form is much like the image gallery sample but I cant get it to work.
I tried setting enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" in the form but that got me Internal Server Error.
I would also like to get the file name of the submitted file (like "cat.gif"). Is this possible?
Kind regards
Tomas

Hi Colm,
unfortunately the server is not available today (Friday). The upload template is much like the image gallery sample. From my memory:
URI: upload
Method: Post
Type: pl/sql
Parameters: just the two header params, status and location, as in image gallery
:body (the blob) and :contentType work. Form fields above/before the type="file" field work. Fields below/after give me null values in the block.
Setting :status or :location gives me a web page with just "Not found". I tried :location := 'http://www.google.com'.
I have an exception handler in my block and it's not caught there. I don't know where to look for details.
This is the only template I intend to have. I'm assuming it doesn't matter how the form is created, as long as it's "correct".
After the file is saved in my table (and this part works) I just want to redirect to an Apex page that confirms the upload.
I'm only trying to use a resource template because having a pl/sql procedure as the action of a form (with a file) under the Apex Listener does not seem to work.
It seems the problem is that the listener doesn't have an application id in that case. As I said yesterday, if I could somehow specify an app id to the listener my problems would be solved.
Kind regards
Tomas

Using DDE with Oracle Forms for uploading Excel data

Hi There,
I have used DDE in Forms to upload data from Excel.
The code which I have implemented is as follows:
DECLARE
iApplication pls_integer;
iConv pls_integer;
v2Buffer varchar2(100);
v2text varchar2(100);
nLength number;
nTransactionId number;
/* these varrays are defined in a package specification*/
vExcelProduct p_upload_functions.prd_no:=p_upload_functions.prd_no('1');
vExcelVpc p_upload_functions.vpc:=p_upload_functions.vpc('1');
BEGIN
/*Open an DDE Server application*/
iApplication:= DDE.App_Begin('C:/excel.exe ||v2fileName,DDE.App_Mode_Minimized);
iConv:=DDE.Initiate('EXCEL',v2filename);
BEGIN
/* first row of the sheet used for title . So loop is started from 2*/
/* Reading a row*/
FOR I IN 2..10000
LOOP
/* Reading columns of a particular row*/
     FOR J IN 1..n / * n be the number of columns in excel sheet */
     LOOP
/* generate the cell no of excel sheet from where data will
be fetched- R is used for row no and C is foe column no*/
     v2text:='R'||I||'C'||J||':'||'R'||I||'C'||J;
/* Store the value in variable */
dde.request(iConv,v2text,v2Buffer,dde.cf_text,1000);
/*Stores values in the varrays for a row*/
IF j=1 THEN
/* for first column*/
nLength:=length(v2Buffer);
vExcelOrg(I-1):=To_Number(substr(v2Buffer,1,nLength-2));
     /* for second column */
ELSIF j=2 THEN
nLength:=length(v2Buffer);
vExcelProduct(I-1):=substr(v2Buffer,1,nLength-2);
END IF;
END LOOP;
/*Exit the loop when it encounters an empty row*/
IF vExcelProduct(I-1) IS NULL AND vExcelOrg(I-1) IS NULL THEN
EXIT;
END IF;
/* Otherwise extending the varray*/
vExcelProduct.extend;
vExcelOrg.extend;
/* Reading the next row*/
END LOOP;
/* Now close the DDE application */
DDE.app_end(iApplication);
DDE.terminate(iConv);
EXCEPTION
     WHEN Others THEN
     DDE.app_end(iApplication);
DDE.terminate(iConv);
RAISE Form_Trigger_Failure;
END;
I am facing a problem, I will appreciate if you can give some insights to help.
We have been having problem logging in to application when there are a number of EXCEL processes running (17-18) on the server. Users that have already logged in have no problem, but new login will get "FRM-92101 There was a failure in the Forms Server during startup". The Forms Server itself is running fine. After we killed a few EXCEL processes, new users will be able to login.
Thanks and regards,
Mandeep

this is a trial method and right now i am trying to read only the first cell of the excel sheet and return that value and show it in the UI when the user presses the button but this code is not returning any value.

Adobe Muse form with 3rd party host is not working

I have uploaded a form with Adobe Muse to a 3rd party host. Upon testing the link scripts/form_check.php, I see 3 green checkmarks. Upon testing the form, the form appears to submit successfully, however I never receive the email.
I checked with the hosting company and this is what they said:
...this form is using localhost smtp of webserver which was stopped due to spamming issues...actually, localhost doesn't have proper rDNS record and the return path for all mails is the server itself, so whenever a client uses its domain for spamming the server's mail queue gets choked and creates issues for others. So we generally do not open localhost smtp and recommend users to use proper SMTP Authentication so that each mail will be delivered and won't create issues for server even if someone does spamming because in that case all mails will bounce back to the mailbox. So, we recommend you to use smtp authentication in the form and use proper smtp details to send mail.
Please provide a recommendation on what I should do to resolve this? Is there a way to modify the form so that it uses proper SMTP Authentication instead of Localhost?

How to open a pdf form with fdf data

Hi all,
I am working on a new project. In that, I have to load a PDF contract form with FDF data on Internet Explorer Window.
I don't know how to do it. Actually I tried using this format on the URL (while loading the respective page)
http://www.example.org/pdf_file_name.pdf#FDF=http://www.example.org/fdf_file_name.fdf
But it opened as an empty pdf document. . Actually I need it with the fdf data.
Can anyone know any other way to do this?
Or is this not possible to open a pdf form with fdf data in a browser?
Thanks in advance

@ Bernd. It still opens a text file

(I have uploaded the related pdf file before.)
Just now I got an idea to use WScript (the code is written in javascript)
ws = new ActiveXObject("WScript.shell");
ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"', 1, true);
this opens my fdf document in Acrobat reader using command prompt.
I have a doubt now, can i use some string in place of "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf" in the above command?
I mean something like fdf_file = "C:\\annukar\\Refi\\Refinance_Module\\Forms\\Contract.fdf"
and replace ws.Run('"AcroRd32.exe" fdf_file,1,true). I tried it but it doesn't work Any idea's? Since the path will not remain the same always. So i need to change it

Submit button doesn't work when form is uploaded to website

I created a form with a submit button that works well when I open the form from my documents. However, once I upload that same form to my website, the submit button doesn't work. Any ideas how this can be fixed?

If the form is opened in the browser, it is probably using the browser's built-in PDF viewer (e.g., Chrome and Firefox), which likely does not support the submit action. It's possible to disable the built-in viewer and configure it so Adobe Reader is used to view the PDF and the submit button should work. This will be something each user would have to set up, so providing instructions is a good idea.

Can DME, EDI be used to build a form(with pictures and logos)?

Hi All
I have a question on DME,Electronic transmission and forms(sapscripts,smartforms etc).
There is a program rfumsv00(advance tax return). Surprisingly this program doesnot give the option to output the data into a "form"(government specified format with logos, pictures etc).
(The program gives this facility to output to a form only for Germany and Belgium.)
Now i want to get the output of this program into a "format as prescribed by the government of India". How do i do this?
The program has facility for "electronic transmission" and DME". Can we use this to get a output similar to a "form"?If yes...how?

Hi Anji
Thank you(I am on the verge of awaring you points).
But one last clarification. You have mentioned that i can design a FORM and then make the program call the form. But this would involve making a Z program.
I want to know if instead of the form, I can use the option "electronic return" or "DME"?Maybe the "electronic return" or "DME" already has pre defined forms (with pictures and logos) and if not will SAP allow me to define the form in DME or electronic return and make the standard program to use that? This way i dont have to do a Z development. Can you help me?

PDF Form with XML Output on Webpage

Hello Team,
I am newbie with the LiveCycle Forms.
I am creating a PDF Form that I will upload like a webpage and get a submit button so when the user finish filling all the fields I want to create an individual XML file on the server.
What is the best way to do it?
I do not want the results send it via email.
Regards.
Javier.

Thanks Paul,
Actually this is what I need:
1) Create a PDF Form and uploaded to a Linux Web server with a submit button so I can get an individual XML file on the server to get all the answers.
2) Distribute the link to all the participant
3) Get all the XML files under an Excel or database.
The last part I know how to do it.
I have a PDF sample form with some text files and a submit_form.php file.
I can not get linked the PDF Form and the php file to create the XML files.
Thank you and best regards.
Javier.
