i would like to create my own logon form.....

Hi,
Yes You can have your own login form.
You have to override the on-logon trigger and write your own code.
If you want to get inputs from user then you have to use a control block.

Set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF

Hi All,
How to set maximum size in Text Form Field Options for a field in bi publisher RTF.
I have a RTF whch is having a field in that i need to add some validation condition but after adding certain condition in Add help text tab ,it is not accepting after certain length, how i can increase the length to unlimited,please help me on this
Thnaks

Form fields have some restrictions if your are using version lower than 11g.
They can accommodate only 393 chars. You can add the text in both status bar and help key, which can in total consume 393 chars.
If your code logic is more than that, it can be split into multiple form fields as Avinash suggested or you can use sub template logic and handle coding over there. Again in sub template code can be within/outside form fields.
So there is no option for user to increase the size of form field.

How to call another form ,if option is entered in a text item object ???

hi ,
I am created an application ,where in i press a button which call another form having a menu .
I select any one of the option from the menu ....i enter a number in the text item object of this form ....depending upon what option i have typed .....i would like to call another form ...
My questions are
1) Which trigger of this text item should be enabled,and what code to i write in this trigger ?
2) Since this form is not having any database insert,delete ,update or query (select)
it should directly go to the new form,whose option i provide in the text item .
Sunny

hey bro, i am assuming that ur text item contains the form name, any relevant trigger can be used for user action, like key-enter, post-change or key-next-item.
to run a form u can use functions call_form or open_form with proper paramters.
if u want to forward the entered text in the item, use global variable for the session.
it doesnt matter if the form contains database items or blocks, all u have to do is run the form.
e.g,
declare
VAR VARCHAR2-------;
begin
/* u can use the variable to concatinate or modify too, also can use global variable
var:=:urblock.uritem;
/* use ur own relevant parameters */
open_form(VAR,ACTIVATE,NO_SESSION);
exception
when---------
end;

How to hide Database Logon option when scheduling Crystal Report in BOE?

Hi All,
For security reason, we are try to hide the Database Logon option in Crystal Report Schedule page in InfoView.
There is option in CMC which we can configure the default Database logon option so that users do not have to enter the logon everytime they view or schedule the report. However, we are looking to hide this option completely.
Does anyone know if there is a security setting which can hide the option from specific users?
Thanks,
Bobby

Hi Bobby,
As Jorge informed that there is no method available within CMC to hide database logon option when scheduling or viewing a Crystal Report in the Info view. This is very much true.
But as you also mentioned that you don't want your users to enter the database logon credentials evertime they view or schedule a crystal report, there is one setting in CMC which we can do to avoid prompt for database logon credentials.
CMC - Home - Go to that specific crystal report - Click Process tab - Click the sub-tab 'Database' and at the bottom of the page there is an option "Use same database logon as when report is run". Check this option after providing the database credentials and click UPDATE.
Now whenever users try to view or schedule this specifc crystal report they won't be prompted for the database logon credentials.
Regards,
Venkat

Connection error when using automatic logon option in connection wizard

Hi,
When using the automatic logon option in the connection wizard there is an error that say that the connection cannot be established. If I use the option to type in my credentials then it works fine.
The user has access privileges in SAP BPC.
Any suggestions?
Kind regards,
Christof

The installation of BPC server was done with a domain user or with a local user?
Your windows user is a domain user or a local user?
I'm asking because it is strange that Windows authentication is not working. It can be or bvecause Windows user is not the same with BPC user. (you can have the same name for user but actually one is local the other one is domain which means different users).
Also I tsuggest to check into application server of test and prod environment f osoft virtual directory has enable Windows Authentication.

"database logon" option for schedule report

When scheduling a report,
Crystal report has the "database logon" option in "shcedule" property page.
But I can't find the "database logon" option for webi report or deski report.
Is this by design.

Hi Tina,
We do not have data base logon option while scheduling the report.
I am not sure what is the significance of it in Crystal but in Webi or deski report we do not need it. We have connections for every universe/report and that has these database log on credential in it. Based on it reports get refresh and run.
Thanks

Testing Interactive Form Logon Displays Odd Color Scheme

For over a year we have been using this one interactive form. The color scheme, when logging into this form, has changed. The developer who created the form has made no changes, and I do not know of any changes on the Basis side that would cause this.
When I test the form from SICF, the initial logon screen has a black background and the logon window where we enter the username and password is outlined in blue. Once I log into the form, it displays properly. Any ideas on what may be causing this form to display in this odd manner?
I know it is just the colors and the form itself still works, but some endusers find it hard to read the logon screen when it displays like this.
Thanks,

Goto transaction SICF.
Under default_host>sap>bc>webdynpro>sap>(name of interactive form) - double click on the form
Select Error Pages Tab, within the Create/Change Service window that is now open. Switch to change mode, and Scroll down the page to select the configuration button.
This opens the System Logon Configuration Window and under Logon Layout and Procedures you will see two options. SAP Implementation and User-Specific. SAP Imlpementation has a Tmpl (Template) and SAP ICON selection. User-Specifc has a class your developer would have created. You select which option and settings for that option you want. Then select the adjust Links and Images. When I made these changes, it asked me for a transport.
Once you have applied the changes, created the transport and saved everything. You will now be able to run a test of the form from SICF to see what the new logon layout looks like. You just transport the change through the rest of your systems.

Make the e-Mail field on the contact form widget optional.

Hey there! While browsing the support forums I came upon this topic here, because I was having a similar issue.
Before developing the suggestion, here you have the website with the form, as we currently have it: http://awake-gaming.com/join-us.html
The form I inserted was not only a contact form, but also a joining form. When submitted, the website calls to Discourse's (the board software we use over at http://forums.awake-gaming.com/) API via an ajax code and so a Bot creates a thread with the information introduced in the forums.
Simply put: Submit -> Code calls to API -> Bot creates thread using the input parameters on the form.
So, what if we don't want the applicant to publish his e-mail? We didn't want the mail to be submitted at all, yet Muse didn't allow us to delete that field nor hide it. In our case "fixing" this hasn't been that much of a pain, as we simply deleted the event listener. But we know how to code. What about people who don't?
Quoting the staff answer on the topic I originally refer to: "Email is the unique identifier and required to create a customer record in the CRM in Business catalyst." But there are people who don't use Catalyst at all. Or am I wrong? Is my site (awake-gaming.com) related to Catalyst at all? I understand it might be necessary for websites hosted on catalyst, but in cases like ours?
That's why I'm requesting the e-mail field on the form to be optional.
Hope you had a good read, and thank you for sticking until the end
PS. Opinions about the AWAKE website design are greatly appreciated.

This will be very helpful.

"Free" web form payment option giving error message

Hello,
On this page http://www.sedonamagoretreat.org/volunteer-retreat-test-page please see the form at the bottom of the page. The option to pay with a credit card works just fine. But if I select the "Free" payment option and click the Submit button, I get the message ERROR: An error occurred. Gift Vouchers can only be redeemed via the online shop.
I built this form using some of these steps http://demo.businesscatalyst.com/booking-multiple-seats
I followed the advice on this page http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1100196 by adding the Gift Voucher button but still doesn't work.
Thanks for your help!
Linda

I solved this myself, with some help from tech support, so I'm posting this for anyone who is trying to accomplish the same setup.
Per Business Catalyst tech support:
"I checked the concern you have reported, to confirm you with the same.
You may use the free=10 payment method for shopping cart, when any gift voucher or discount coupon reduces the amount to zero.
I understand the option you looking for, however, its not possible to achieve the same within Bc using free payment method. You may try some customization , Unfortunately, HTML / CSS / JavaScript and Site implementation related issues are outside the scope of our support boundaries. However, you may like to post this on our support forums as well, where a member of our helpful community may be able to assist - http://forums.adobe.com/community/business_catalyst"
So instead of using the "Free" payment option, I used "Cash." It's not a perfect setup, but it works for now.
Be sure to use <div id="paymentdiv"> wrapped around the payment-related fields and insert the following script to hide the payment fields if they don't select payment by credit card:
<script type="text/javascript">
function ShowCCFields(val) {
if (!document.getElementById('paymentdiv'))
return;
if (val != 1)
document.getElementById('paymentdiv').style.display = 'none';
else
document.getElementById('paymentdiv').style.display = 'inline';
</script>

I, and my clients, want a VERY simple contact form hosting option...

There's no need for us to have data collected and analyzed. No need for yet another hosting service to store data we'll NEVER use.
I've already got a hosting service for my site. My clients already have hosting for their sites. None of us are willing to spend another
dime to have a second hosting system for anything. Don't care. Don't want it. LOVE the Muse forms and the ease with which I can
modify them to look the way I want them to, but that all adds up to jack squat if they don't work.
All we're looking for is a simple contact form that allows users to fill in a couple of form fields, add a little message and hit send.
My clients want to have at the most, about 5 different email addresses set up so they can keep the information organized a bit on their end.
They may get at most about 300-500 emails a month at a peak time of the year.
That's not too much to ask is it?
I mean, if I use the "Upload to FTP host" feature in Muse, what's so hard about adding a bit of code that uses that server space to pass along
a few messages to a mailbox?
Can't we just set up a BASIC contact form that is just creating an email and sending it to an email address with a preformatted message based
upon the form fields we add to the widget? Something like this:
Name: John Smith
Email: [email protected]
Phone: 555-555-5555
Message: You guys are a great little company, thanks for being so swell.
Dat be all we want yo! Hook us up mang!
For $15 dollars a month that I'm paying to use Muse, there oughta be something like that in the form widget panel! Dang!
Really have a bad taste in my mouth with this whole attempt to channel people into Business Catalyst... That might be great
for some of your customers, but odds are, not really... The majority of Muse users are likely to be designers that want to have
a bit more control over their clients image/brand, and want to have less painful ways of keeping up with the advancements in
webdesign/development without having to learn new code crap every few months!
So let's not be too greedy and accidentally paint some of your customers into a corner and try to get them to pay you more
money for services they don't need, and probably don't want.
I've recommended Muse to a few designer friends of mine, and their comments are all the same: Love Muse for the ease of
use in designing websites, hate the idea of Business Catalyst. "Feels like a ball and chain, but worse because I have to pay for it."
Yeah, time to rethink your plan a bit folks?
Simple Muse Form Widget. Get on it! It would be VERY nice of you to do so!

I do agree and have posted a few times on this. It would be nice not to be tied down with another hosting subscription. It would be better if instead of having to pay for BC hosting with different plan pricing they could have different pricing for Muse with different feature options. I would pay more for Muse to use the form feature freely on any server I choose because like you said the form widget is great for making really custom forms, but that ease of use should come at a cost because it is so sought after.
I am getting sick of people wanting everything for free just because it is there and they want it so badly but think they shouldn't have to pay for it because it is not in their budget.
Muse should have different tiers with different feature options and not force BC on users. BC is a great solution for people without hosting or users that are not familiar with setting up their own servers but for the ones that do have their own servers and are comfortable with using them feel tied down.

Make a text form field optional

I use Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro at work and have a form with a paragraph that the user would like to have a portion of the paragraph be optional. I tried to set it up using the Action tab in the Properties with "Mouse Enter - Show/hide a field" but the text field just changes to "hidden" and doesn't come back to "visable". I have not worked with JavaScript in this before but would be willing to do so if necessary and if it will work okay in Adobe Reader, which is what the users will be using to fill it in. Advice today would be appreciated, since I need to finish this project this afternoon. Thanks so much!!!

Wanted to attach the page that the text field is on. It's the one between #'s 4 and 5. The users may, or may not, want the portion of the paragraph in the final order. It hides great but how do I get it to reappear? Your knowledge is appreciated.

Form Submission Options

Can the forms you create be printed out when completed by the end user? Or when submitted are they just saved as pdf in in csv format which can they be viewed or printed out by an administrator?

Form fillers always have the option of printing out the form they have just filled out. In the case of HTML forms, they will need to do this before they click the submit button. For pdf forms they can do this before or after clicking submit. The form author (or co-author) can view all of the form responsed in the View Responses tab and has the option of printing the data or exporting the data to xls, csv or pdf.

Acrobat X Pro Form Edit option greyed out

Acrobat X Professional running on Win7 32bit.
We are converting a word document into PDF with Acrobat, however after the file is converted the option to Edit Form is greyed out.
The same word document can be converted on other PCs with Adobe X Pro, where the Form Editing tools are available to use.

Do you see other Editing options like Distribute Forms, create etc? Are they all greyed out?
If that is the case- Look for Form (AcroForm.api) under Help->Adobe Acrobat Plug-ins. Is that available?
Check the conversion settings under Preferences-> Convert to PDF-> Select MS word from the list. Look if there is any security set.
