How to compare a database field and form field and highlight differences

Hi there,
I have been trying to find a coldfusion function that will help, I have tried comparing two strings but the results of -1 1 or 0 aren't very useful.
I need to compare a database field with a form field and highlight all the differences in the form field in red.
Thanks
Katie

This is a non-trivial process. Rather than doing a compare, you really are wanting to do a diff. CF doesn't do this out of the box, but you might want to have a sniff around on Google to see if anyone has implemented anything for CF.

How do I restore the "Flatten annotations and form fields" Preflight profile?

The "Flatten annotations and form fields" Preflight profile (sub: PDF fixups) was accidentally deleted from my computer. I don't know how to reinstall/recreate it. I use it all the time... please help.

In which case, just recreate it yourself:
Preflight > Pptions menu > New Preflight Profile
Give it the name you want
Custom Fixups section on the left, add two entries from the list
"Flatten all annotations into page contents"
"Flatten all form fields into page contents"
Save it in the PDF Fixups category and lock it

Hi,
In SharePoint 2013, we can take use of REST API or Client Object Model to access the SharePoint objects like Form Library.

With the retrieved file, we can then use XmlDocument object to parse it and get the values you want:

How to stablish a bidirectional conversation beetween forms 10g and servlet

Hello I am investigating how to stablish a bidirectional conversation beetween forms 10g and a servlet. We want to make an application in Java that calls forms but we want that global variables send their values to forms and forms send values to java application.
If any one can help me with a tutorial o guide.
Best Regards,
Paola

It is possible to call out to Java from Forms starting with Forms 9i.
It is not yet possible to call back into Forms from Java though. That will probably come in v11.
You could potentially make a JavaBean that connects to your Java code thru sockets or some other method and place it in the form. That support also came in 9i.

How to display/edit timestamp in a Form Field ?

Hello,
i have a table which has a TIMESTAMP column and i have a form based on this. What i want is to be able to have a user see it during displaying in a form and be able to insert or modify these timestamp values. I looked through the various DATE pickers in Page Item | Display as, but i didn't find a suitable one for TIMESTAMPs. The closest one to my needs is that of DD/MM/YYYY HH24:MI but if i use it the user can't provide seconds and if form in update mode, when the user presses save without actually making any modifications the seconds part of the field is lost.
Any idea how to solve this situation? Have you had such a similar problem in your implementation? How do you implement in your applications TIMESTAMPS?
TIA

In our applications we have used non-database date fields to handle the user display/entry side of life and then manually populated these fields from the (hidden) timestamp fields during record 'build' and then used a process to set the timestamp field to match the user-updated date field during submit - in our case we're also using timezones.
It's a pain... I'd like a better alternative!

How do I add borders to the form fields in the checkout page of my BC shop?

I am setting up my Shop for my website www.myartscreative.com. So far, so good. I am testing out going through the steps of ordering a copy of my sketch book, adding the appropriate shipping, etc. However, I notice when testing the checkout page, most of the fields do not have a border around them which makes it hard to see where to fill in the pertinent info. How do I add a border or fill (or both) the form fields so my customer can easily see where to type in their information? Here is the link to my shop's "check out page".

Ok, got it! So, I kind of figured it out by going into the Develop tab in the BC Admin and going into the modulestylesheets.css and modifying that. Check the link above again and you will now see the borders around the input fields. Probably no big deal to you pro's out there, but I am a total newbie up to this point. Thanks again!

How to strip HTML out of the form field but leave the basic user formatting?

What would you recommend to automatically strip out HTML that a user has entered into a form field? At the same time we need to preserve the basic formatting that was submitted by the users i.e. replace <p> tags with CRLF, etc. StripHTML function is perfect but it removes all HTML and therefore, all formatting. Is there anything more flexible?
Thanks!

Do you need to strip it, or just render it inoperable.
The latter can be done with the htmlEditFormat() and htmlCodeFormat() functions.
If you want the striping, take a look at related functions at the http://www.cflib.org site. I know I have seen HTML replace functions that had the ability to be configured to strip and|or not strip a select list of tags.
StripHTML() may actually have this feature (I believe it is hosted at cflib.org). You may just need to see the documentation on how to configure it thus.

How to set default database selection in forms 11g

Hello,
In the past (Forms 10g), we could set the default database by setting userid=@dbname in formsweb.cfg.
We have migrated to Forms 11g.
When we set this parameter, we have the message ORA-01017 Invalid Username but the dbname is well set in the connection windows.
Unfortunately, it generates an error message.
How can we set the default database setting in forms 11g?
Thanks in advance for your answer.

If the middle tier platform is Windows set LOCAL to the db name in the Forms default.env. If the platform is Unix based, set TWO_TASK to the db name in the default.env. This will not prefill the db name field, but with this in place that field can be left empty. Alternatively, you need to create your own custom logon dialog.
Example:
LOCAL=dbname
Or on Unix
TWO_TASK=dbname

Typewriter tool and form fields

Hi there.
I have a long PDF which was created from a Word doc. I have added form fields throughout the document. However, there is one page which has a question then ten lines for the user to write the answer. I originally had a form field covering the ten lines which I made multi-line and gave a white background so that when the user types, it would just fill up the page. However, it has since been requested that the lines remain visible.
A terrible solution would be to use a separate field for each line (thus causing the user to have to press tab to get to the next line). After some research, I discovered the typewriter tool which accomplishes exactly what I had in mind.
Here's the problem: It appears I am unable to use both form fields and the typewriter tool within one PDF. Is there a workaround to this?
Thanks in advance!
Hilary

With respect, how is the typewriter tool better than either a single multiline field or multiple single line fields? I would think that making your users switch between using the Hand tool and the Typewriter tool would be awkward, to say the least.
If I were in your position, I would continue to use a multiline field with a transparent background and adjust the lines to match the leading that results.
Does this have to work with Reader? Do you need to extract the form data? Does the general public have to use this form?
When you enable just the Typewriter tool for use with Reader, it locks out form fields. But if you enable the document for use with Reader, it enables both forms and commenting, and the Typewriter tool is a type of commenting, but Reader makes the Typewriter tool less obvious.

Cfoutput query and form field names

I have a form that have two field inputs. I would like to repeat the form fields as part of a cfoutput query. The first field of the form automatically populates the different person's name (via cfoutput query) and this form field is called "tenant". The next field of the form is called "sales". The sales field is left open for user imput. The entire form is in between the cfoutput query tags. When the cfoutput query is executed, Both form fields of the form is displayed with each tenant name listed in each of the first form fields of each row. The problem I'm running into is that even though the form elements appear to display correctly, I would like the name of each of my form elements in the cfoutput query, of each row to have a different form field name like, tenant2, sales2, tenant3, sales3 etc. is that possible?
Here's what my code look like.
<cfform action= "addsales.cfm" method="post">
<cfoutput query="tenantsales"><Input name="tenant" type="text" value="#office.tenant#" size="32" />
<select name="sales"><option>$5</option><option>$10</option><option>$12</option></br></cfoutput>
<input name="submit" type="submit" />
</cfform>

I cannot imagine why you would want to show a list of pre-populated input fields. What makes sense to me is a select-box. If that is indeed what you want, then you could do something like this:
<cfform action= "addsales.cfm" method="post">
<cfselect name="tenant">
<option value="">Tenant</option>
<cfoutput query="tenantsales">
<option value="#tenantsales.tenantID#">#tenantsales.tenantName#</option>
</cfoutput>
</cfselect></br>
<cfselect name="sales">
<option value="">Sales</option>
<option value="5">$5</option>
<option value="10">$10</option>
<option value="12">$12</option>
</cfselect></br>
<cfinput name="submit" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</cfform>
Like Dan, I have assumed your database table has a column for tenant ID.
