Issue with HTML Editor of XML Form Builder.??

Hi All,
We are using HTML Editor of XML Form Builder to enter the Content. This content will be displayed to teh User by parsing these XML Files generated by the XML Form Builder Application.
But, when we parse the XML, the other field values are coming properly, except HTML Editor field Content.
This is working fine, only when I enter a Single line Text. If I enter some Spaces, New lines, Paragraphs, etc. the XML Parsing is not returning any Content..
And also when I use Text Area, the total content is returning as a Single Paragraph, Even if I enter multiple lines, spaces,.
If anyone has Idea on this, Please Help me to solve this Issue ASAP.
Thanks&Regards||
Ashok Kumar M.

Hi Bala,
It is already mapped correctly. If I enter a single line Text in HTML Editor, I am getting the same Text after Parsing. But If I enter multiple lines, spaces, new lines, etc., then the Problem.
Thanks||

hi Yasir
The project you created appear in the KM folder ( /etc/xmlforms)or the folder based on your settings. You can open the form you created in the km and can check whether the link command is there in the file.You can edit it directly from here to correct the error.

Display issue with HTML formatted text in report builder

I am using the FCKeditor in my application to allow endusers
the ability to create formated text on reports. We curently are
experiencing 2 issues: 1. If you copy and paste from MS Word
2003/2007 it will not display the text correclty in the report; 2.
If you use the FCKeditor toolbar to insert bullets or a numeric
list it will not align the text correctly on the report. We are
using Coldfusion 8 with Hotfix 1 and Coldfusion Report Builder's
lastest build release.
Has one experiences this same issue with HTML fields not
printing correctly using the Report Builder? What other HTML
editors besides FCKeditor might we use?
Thanks,
Dan VanWieren

Hi Gavin,
If I understand well, your HTML tags are coded directly in your fields in the database, right? Because if it was not the case, you could have use a format trigger checking for which destination you're generating your report...
if UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTML' or
UPPER(:DESFORMAT) = 'HTMLCSS'
then
-- insert your HTML code in the value
-- of your field. something like...
newValue := '<B>' | | :YOUR_FIELD | | '</B>
srw.set_field_char( 0, newValue );
else
-- when generating to other format,
-- you'd have to add the formatting as
-- you want.
end if
return( true );
Of course, if it's not acceptable to remove the HTML tag from your database fields, you could develop a procedure that would translate your HTML tags to the good formatting (eurk... ;-)
Good luck... :-)

Path to XML form builder reports in Portal

Hi Experts,
I am facing one issue. We have few XML forms builder screens in Portal.
Those were appearing fine but now one of them is not appearing properly.
Please let me know under KM , where these reports are stored so that I can check whether these reports.

Srini,
The XML forms are under etc-xml forms.
However, if the forms are not appearing properly, you would have to open it in XML forms builder and check.
Assign yourself the Content Management role. Check this wiki for more details.

Xml Form Builder HTML Editor

Hi All,
In my xml form builder application, i have to insert an image inside the UI "HTML Editor". But there is no option called as "insert image from km" into the HTML Editor? How can i have that option called "Insert Image From KM" ?
I tried "configuration of the HTML editor" in
Knowledge Management  Content Management  Utilities  Editing  HTML Editing.
I enabled the option "Allow Images". Then too it is not reflecting in HTML Editor UI.
What else can be done for getting that property on HTML Editor UI?
Thanx and Regards,
Divya

Hi,
My understanding is that the standard HTML editor control from SAP is quite limited. You can copy and paste an image into it (but the image has to already be in KM) - it has no nice control for selecting or positioning the image....
Some options:
1. There are options like TinyMCE which I belive can be used in place of the standard HTML editor control.
2. If the structure of the content on you page is fixed then you could add images into the form as images that the user would provide links for - but this is not as free form as you would maybe like.
Hope this helps,
Simon

Issue with XML form builder

Hi All,
1 ) My XML form builder is hanging up very very frequently (other than this, my portal is very fast).
when I save the project its hangs up at "50% saving internal model". then I have to close the xml form builder and reopen it and save it again (when i do it repeatedly, some time it saves).
when I click on "open Project" many times its not popup the project list, I have to close the xml form builder, logout from my portal and then login back.
Its horrible to work on this, keeps on hanging every time. Any idea why its behaving like this? as I said, my portal is very fast except XML form builder.
My Java version is 1.4.2_16... XML form builder verison is 6.xx
2) when clicked on "preview" button, can we open a pcd iview??? my requirement is, when user clicks on preview button I need to open my application built in PDK java (created iview out of it, which shows xml form in a better way)?
3) Can I show "Edit" form first other than "Renderer" form in News application? Presently it shows renderer form-> user has to click edit link -> then it will open Edit form. I want "Edit" form to be visible to the user in the first step itslef. is it possible?
Thanks
Pradeep

Hi.
I suppose changing of the JDK, because 1.4.2_16 is not recommended version (see SAP Note 716604). Refer to note 718901 - How to Change the JDK of the J2EE Engine.
Also check what version of client JRE in use. (see Note 1341069 - XML Forms Builder not supported if client JRE is 1.6).

How to reference a file with the XML Forms Builder?

Hello,
I've created a form at the XML Form builder (I am using NW 04). This enables the users to create new topic.
I've created at at the "Edit" form an option to upload a file along with the new topic. The file is being saved in a subfolder of the topics main folder.
My question is how to create a link to the specific file that has been uploaded with it's specific topic at the "Show" Form? Note that the subfolder contains files of many topics, I want to link to this specific file uploaded with it's relevant topic when created. How do I do that?

Hi Roy,
> I've created at the "Edit" form an option
> to upload a file along with the new topic.
What I expect that you have done is to add a browse functionality which browses within KM with the possibility to upload an image into KM?! As done within SAP Demo News?!
If that's the way, just compare the SAP Demo News: Create /DataSchema/News/image and map it to the browser, whereas in the show form part you'll map it to an image.
If I didn't understand you right and the issue is still open, please report...
Hope it helps

Populating dynamic values in the combobox with XML form Builder.

I am trying to populate dynamic value in the combobox with xml form builder. I see the document saying create property group and document property Id with respecitive values. I am able to create the property group with system admin -> System config
-> KM -> CM -> Global services -> property Metadata -> groups with new button. and I am trying to create document property Id with value. I am not able to find the way to give value in the property. I am using EP 7.0 Sp 14. Please let me know how to sovel it

Hi
You can create new property metadata with System Admin > System Config > KM > CM > Global services > Property Metadata > Properties > New. Specify the values for this metadata as the ones you need to have in the combo box. Use allowed values parameter of the matadata to sepcify the values. Each metadata property will have unique property ID and you can map this property ID to your combo box in xml forms.
Give it a try.

XML Form Builder-Problem with the save button

Hi All,
I created a project in XML Form Builder.
I included a button "Save" in my project.
All is working fine when i preview my project in XML Form Builder.
The problem is when i run my project with iview.
I suppose the form to save my input and then to be closed but
unfortunately it did not.
I don't know where the problem is as in the XML Form Builder everything seems ok.
Thank you for your help!
Regards,
Ari

Hi Carsten,
Thank you for your help.
There is no javascript error in the form.
In the status bar when i have my mouse over the button i can see "javaxcript:HrefSubmit('save',"");"
And when push the button "Transering Data..."
I created the form in the Xml Form Builder and in preview there the project works.
What do you mean "Did you access your Form using the KM Admin Explorer via a comman?"
How can i have acess there?
I appreciate you help!

Error writing output with iview for xml form builder

Hi,
I created a Xml Form Builder's project in which I developed an "Edit" and "ListEdit" sheet.
I also created an iview for theese in which the code link is:"com.sap.km.cm.xmlform",and the field for Style Sheet for List and for single item are set up correctly,but when I tried the preview the following error message happened:
com.inqmy.lib.xsl.xslt.XSLOutputException: Error writing output. -> org.w3c.dom.DOMException: Root Element is already present, cannot be appended as a child.
could someone help me?
thank's a lot!
Nick.

Hi,
Now I'm confused,what do you mean with create new data? Are users editing existing documents
(as if they go to a document example.xml > edit) or they are creating new documents (as if they go
on folder > new > forms)?
The problem is, in both cases a user would need read/write permissions.
The normal flow content (data) is created in KM is as follows:
1. user is assigned to a role
2. role contains KM Navigation iView
3. KM Navigation iView executes com.sap.km.cm.navigation component
4. user chooses New > Form UI command (edit_xml_forms)
5. edit_xml_forms UI command executes its code (com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.uicommand.cm.UIXMLFormsCreateCommand) and open xml edit for the user
6. user fill the form and click Save, form is created into folder
For what I understood so far, your requirement basically asks you to go directly to step 5, it is
possible to pass a URL that goes directly to step 5, the UI command button, but if you do that
you won't have a context, so chances that it will work are slim, since a context is required to
fill the parameters asked by the app (like folder, user, permissions, etc). Even though, in some cases you can
still pass the parameters via post in the URL but you must know which service/parameters the
app asks for it, also a URL is static...
That was the create scenario, I think it's more cons than pros, users would still be
able to bypass the URL iView created for that, I'd suggest evaluating again if it's really
a problem having users access cm to manage data
kind regards,
Rafael

XML Forms Builder - problem with checkbox

Hi,
I have created many checkboxes in XML Forms Builder and if I want to create a new document based on this "Form" I have still checked one of checkboxes. I would like to have all empty checkboxes becasue user should check the appropriate checkboxes.
Do you know how to resolve this problem?
Thaks for help!
Regards,
Andrzej Tabara

Hi,
is it always the same checkbox that is already filled in? Is this ckeckbox based on a metadata-definition?
If yes: You could maybe have a look at the metadata-definition. Is there maybe a default-value defined?

Issue in Java Scipt in XML form

Hello Experts,
I have one issue in our client portal, which is really giving me hard time to resolve.
So I have come to you experts for helping me to resolve this issue.
So below are the details of the issue.
Actually it goes like that, we are using B.Texx in our Portal Environment and most of the work is done by the users in the portal, who has author rights. Please note that Authors have the right to Edit and save the content.
Most of the things are made on XML forms, with the help of Java Scripts.
Now there is one XML form(Add General Content), through which users add the general contents and there is one template provided to the user for that content. The XML forms are integrated here with the Tiny MCE editor.
Now, there is one link (Insert/edit link) in the Tiny MCE editor, when we write some text in the body and select the text, the link in the editor gets activated and when we click on the link, a pop up comes up, in which there is a browse button, through which we select the Navigation Element Link , which takes us in the navigation of the portal content(the way it is viewed by user in the portal according to the roles ), showing us different content and we select an content and press finished. Now the selected text becomes as a link in the body of xml form, then we fill up the title and there is one preview button. When we click on the preview button, the link is displayed to us.But when we click on that link nothing happens.
Please note that if we save that form, the links appears on portal and we are able to navigate through the link.
For this I have checked the js file(xmlformpreview_redirect.js) responsible.I am sharing the code of the js file below.
// @author llaegner
// Get current URL of XML Forms Preview
// This Javascript should be included in the ShowForm Formular (old XSL Style)
// in xml forms builder in a label-field in the attribute caption
// this javascript file is then called by the Preview Button on an Edit Form, because the ShowForm is launched automatically always
// @changes by ekaraca
// Add a if-Control so a redirect will work by clicking the xml file as well
var currentURL=top.location.href;
var redirectURL="";
var startOfParameters=currentURL.indexOf("?");
if (startOfParameters < 0) startOfParameters=currentURL.indexOf("%3F");
if (startOfParameters > 0) {
     // Provide all parameters for SAP original preview iview to our new iview
    redirectURL="/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.btexx.pct.easyWCM.customer.addons.xmlformpreview"+currentURL.substring(startOfParameters);
if(currentURL.substring(currentURL.length-4)==".xml") {
     var xmluri = currentURL.substring(currentURL.indexOf("/irj")+15, currentURL.length); /* /irj/go/km/docs <---- 15 letters */
     redirectURL="/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.btexx.pct.easyWCM.customer.addons.xmlformpreview?show/test="+xmluri;
     top.location.href=redirectURL;
else {
     // If we have found something to redirect
     if (redirectURL.length > 1) {
          // Change current location and switch immediately to new iview
          top.location.href=redirectURL;
I would really appreciate if any of you experts help me resolve this issue.
So I am eagerly waiting for the response from all of you.

Experts...still waiting for your comments.
