Rich Text Editor Option for Custom Metadata

Hi,
We have created custom profiles for our clients. In one such profile which was created for news updates, client wants to have rich text editor in case of certain custom metadata fields such as description similar to comments.
As far i as i understand this can be achieved by creating region defintion which gives the option to create a web asset which can edited using site studio api. But is it possible to bring in rich text editor features for custom metadata fields in profiles ?
Regards,
Boopathy P

I'd suggest looking into the profile rule's "Use custom include" option.
You need to build the new control on your own, but you'll be able to plug it in via the "Use custom include" profile rule option. It's on the "Edit Rule Field" page.
You can also override the template, but I believe that's a lil' too hardcoded for best practices. This way, you can create a ckeditor textarea and apply it to any metadata you wish (of course, it's up to you to make sure the datatypes match).
Let us know if this helps!

Editing Autofill List for Custom Metadata Fields

I have 13,000+ photographs cataloged in Aperture 2.1 In an effort to better manage these photographs, I have added custom metadata for my own use. The fields let me know whether I have printed for my portfolio, watermarked, added to my web site, status of release, etc. All of this data is manually entered and at times my fingers don't always hit the correct keys on the keyboard so I end up with autofill data that is incorrect. I have been unable to find a way to edit the autofill data for custom metadata fields. Selecting 'Edit Autofill List' does not give me access to my custom field autofill information. Am I missing something? Is this an oversight on my part or on the part of the application?

Unfortunately I'm not using presets to do this. I don't think presets will help me with this, but it could be just that I don't understand presets that well. I use presets for entering Metadata from a shoot as I 'import' the raw files into Aperture. Maybe I'm trying to do something that Aperture was never intended to do, yet I need to have as few locations where I track
As an example, as I print a photograph for my portfolio I mark one of the custom fields labelled 'Printed' as 'Yes'. Later I can locate those 4 or 5 star photographs that haven't been printed and decide if I want to print them. I use the same type of arrangement for my website with an 'Added to web' indicator as 'Yes'. I may also mark that 'Printed' field as 'N/A'. The reason follows. For watermarking photographs before adding them to my site via iWeb, I export and the photographs and then reimport the watermarked photographs into a separate project but since these photographs are at a lower resolution, have a different color profile and are jpegs, I never print them for my portfolio so I mark them 'N/A' in the 'Printed' field. Well my fingers do slip on the keys and before I realize it the nifty autofill now requires that I type not just the 'N' to get an 'N/A', but I must type it all, because one time I typed 'N and a space' or some such and that is what autofills. It even happens with 'Yes'. I suppose the real answer is to be more careful as I type, but that is not my reality.
So, all I'm looking for is a way to have access to the autofill list that is created for my custom metadata fields so that I can delete the erroneous autofill entry. I've thought about deleting the field entirely and recreating it, but that would remove all those indicators or flags that I have already entered for my photographs.
Alternatively I could find an IPTC field that I am not using and find a way to use it, (because those fields have autofill lists that can be edited). However my record keeping would be exported with the photograph. Some of the information that I collect is private and should not be included in the metadata while other information should be; that is why I've settled on custom metadata fields.
I hope there is a simple answer to this that I'm overlooking.
If someone else has another way of tracking this same information that is better than the custom metadata fields, I would like to hear about it. However, it would mean reworking all my photographs that Aperture currently manages.

Get value based on column names for custom metadata field of Webcenter Content

In UCM, I created a custom metadata field of type Text. I then enabled optlist in that field. I populate values to the optList, I am using a View. The View has three columns. Let us call them ID, Key, Value. OptList displays the Keys in its list. I then create a Content (Content ID: MyContent) in Webcenter Content and choose values from OptList for my new metadata field (MyField).
From Webcenter Portal, I am populating a selectOneChoice with values of MyField in the Content ID: MyContent. Remember from previous step, the values populated in selectOneChoice is the list of values selected from optList field MyField. This optList is in-turn populated from View. After the user selects a value in selectOneChoice, in Javascript, I need to alert a message in this format "value chosen - corresponding value from View of optList that populates MyField"
I think an example will be useful:
Here is a View that I created in Configuration Manager applet in Admin Applets of Webcenter Content:
ID | State | Capital
1 | North Carolina | Raleigh
2 | California | Sacramento
3 | Illinois | Chicago
Then, I create a Custom Field (Name: MyField). MyField is an optList the values are populated from View created above. The internal value and display value are both State. Then I Check-In a new content with Content Id: MyContent. For MyContent, I select these values from OptList for MyField: {North Carolina, Illinois}.
In my Webcenter Portal application, I create a Content Presenter Taskflow. I configure it as a single item content presenter. I assign MyContent as Content Id. Then, in templateView, I get all values of MyField in MyContent and display them as selectOneChoice. I created a javascript function that would get the value that user selected in selectOneChoice. In the View created in Webcenter Content's Configuration Manager (above), there is a value corresponding to each value displayed. So, for the selected value, I need to get the corresponding Capital and display it in my alert message.
From Javascript, how can I get the value of Capital, given I have the value of State.

Hi.
The idea to achieve your requirement is next:
Create a helper manage bean that will be call as Map access: #{stateUtil['Calofironia']} (it will return Raleigh). This value will be get calling GET_SCHEMA_VIEW_VALUES IDC service using RIDC in your manage bean.
Pass the result of #{stateUtil['statename']} to your JavaScript function using <af:clientAttribute.../>
I hope this information help you.

CIS and JSLT question for custom metadata

Hello,
I have a content type called 'Event' that has a custom metadata field 'EventDate'.
events.jsp looks like this:
<fmt:formatDate value="${event.releaseDate}" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy"/>-<fmt:formatDate value="${event.expirationDate}" pattern="MM/dd/yyyy"/>-${event.contentID}
event is an element of a List generated from ISCSSearchResponse.getResults()
Instead of releaseDate and expirationDate, I want to reference the custom metadatafield 'EventDate'.
How do I do this? There is a method ICISProperty getProperty(java.lang.String name), but I don't know how to format it in JSLT.
Thanks,
Mitch

There is no documented way of doing that. I haven't seen anyone describe an undocumented way either.

XMP Custom File Info panels vs. Custom Metadata

Sorry if this question is a little confused, but I don't exactly know what I am talking about yet.
I use Rob Cole's custom metadata plug-in, which is great as far as it goes. As I understand it, it is a way to create custom data fields in the Lightroom database, give them labels, and manipulate and sort images according to those values. It is very useful for what it is. However, where it shows its seams is when you want to edit an image outside of Lightroom and then import the image back into Lightroom (for instance exporting the image, or editing it in Photoshop). In that case there is no way to get the data in the original into the derived copy except by doing it by hand, which can be very labor intensive if you, say, export a few hundred or a few thousand images. And, of course, you can only see the custom metadata in Lightroom, since it doesn't live in the file.
If I understand it correctly, "Custom File Info panels" for xmp data should just solve this problem. You would define your data, and it would be understood by "standard Adobe applications". A brief search of the web does not indicate that Lightroom is one of these "standard Adobe applications", so I assume that while I can use these panels in Bridge and in Photoshop, the data would not be available to me in Lightroom?
Any insight?
Thanks
Alan

Better ways:
1-1 or 1-many:
(on the file menu: plugin extras) which brings up:
If you want to do "many to many-others-like-them", you have to use a different plugin, like Relative Antics..

Many of us are hoping Adobe enhances Lr to provide better support for custom metadata - as you've noticed, Lightroom is not one of those "Standard Adobe Applications" referred to in the above link.

Select Button beside custom metadata field on Check In Form

Hi
In Oracle Content Server 10gR3, is there a way to add a "Select" button to User Alias Applet for a new Meta data field on New Check In Form? I tried creating a component but I don't see a select button being shown up. The button does shows up if it's a standard metadata fields but not for the custom one. Here is the component code. Any idea what I am doing wrong and how to fix it.

          aliasForm = frm;
          selUser.createFrame();
     function setAliasString(val)
          if (val.length == 0)
               return;

Then I tried using the same code as above but instead used the built-in dDocType to show a "Select" button. This works but the button obviously shows besides dDocType but when I try for custom metadata as shown above it doesn't. Here is the sample code for dDocType:<html>

Can someone please let me know what is in my above code that I am missing that is preventing the button not being shown in-front of the custom metadata field.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Interesting!
You'll need a component. You already mentioned you had a custom metadata field. You will also need to add a counter to the counters table for your component. During a check in you will need to fetch the next value from the counters table, increment the counter and store the new number back in the table. The year portion of the id is easy, get the current year and grab the last two characters. Then, put this all togther to get the data for your metadata field.
The big question now is where in the check in process will you do all this? You will need something called filters probably. Maybe addFiles, maybe validateStandard, there are several that this could work with.

Check in Similar not populating custom metadata value set by global rule

I have created a global rule to set the default value for custom metadata field creation date as current system date.This rule is working fine for normal check in but when i am using check in similar functionality of ucm the creation date value is getting populated from original content metadata value instead of default value set by rule.Is there any way to populate creation date as default value set by rule even in the check in similar function.
Thanks in advance!!!
Edited by: 906120 on Jan 5, 2012 4:42 AM

Check-in similar does not evaluate scripts in the "use defaultvalue" field, as it has to copy metadata values. However, you can add script to the "Is derived field" as well. Just don't use dprDefaultValue but dprDerivedValue=
This script will be evaluated before check-in operation and any value contained in the metadata field will be overwritten with value defined by script.

Boris

Searching Custom Metadata in Bridge - Urgent!

Hi,
Any help with the following would be greatly appreciated. I have created a custom xmp metadata panel that I am using for assets for a client. In Bridge, is there a way to use the Find tool to search for my custom metadata fields (as compared to the "All Metadata" search or generic metadata category searches)?
Also, is there a way to save these searches for future use or set up a filter based on custom xmp metadata? Similar to how Bridge's built-in keyword filter works but for custom metadata. It would be great if this could work similar to the current filter palette instead of using the Find tool every time.
Thanks so much!
Josh

Just was looking for this same functionality - was hoping I could add items to the filter and save them out as you were mentioning...

Problems syncing custom metadata

Running into a few problems when trying to work with custom metadata fields, as follows:
1) Sync Metadata command refuses to copy custom fields values across selected pictures.
2) When "Metadata->Show metadata for target photo only" is unchecked and writing a value to one custom field across several pictures it completely snafus the Smart Collections in the totals they show and also the pictures that are returned. In terms of the number indicators they either lock up, or become associated with the wrong metadata fields. Only a relaunch/optimize and another relaunch forces the totals to update properly otherwise they will not correctly reflect any changes made.
Are any of these known issues? There are some cool features here but it's giving me headaches!

Hi Jon,
are are right, Bridge supports only text fields for custom metadata:
Booleans have to be "True" or "False"
Dates have to be entered in ISO8601 format, e.g. 2011-08-26T13:53-02:00
Lists of Strings are working when you use commas or semicolons to separate the entries.
Dropdowns are not working
You have two options to accomplish you workflow:
You can use the "Generic Panel" example and feed it with the same XML file. This shows the "My Choice" property as dropdown.
But you have to open the File Info dialog to see and modify the properties.
You can create your own panel using the Creative Suite SDK with Flex, if you have programming skills.
Hope this helps,

Email Response using custom metadata

Is it possible to send an email response and in the subject and message, include strings from custom metadata fields I've created on the set clip?
I know typing Title inside brackets will substitute in the title, but how do I do this for custom metadata fields?
THANKS!!

Ok, I've figured out that putting the metadata field's title name within brackets will do the trick, but it seems to only work for metadata fields where the datatype is a string.
Anyway to get this to work for something that the Duration that has a datatype of timecode?

How to set max size for a custom field ucm11g

Hi,
I need to set maximum length to a custom field created in ucm11g 11.1.1.6
The field's data type is Text and for example i want to limit the length to 10 characters
Any example how to do this ??
Regards
Carlos

Hi ,
If you are looking to limit the number of characters that can be entered to the field from GUI then a global side effect and rule combination will help you achieve it . It would be something like this :
This is done by leveraging Side Effects under Rules - Rules Activation Conditions. You also need to set the Rule as Global for this to be effective across the system.
In there the following has to be set:
<$dDocTitle:maxLength=80$>
<$dDocName:maxLength =50$>
Set the above side effect in the rules and corresponding Profile need to refer it for being able to limit the number of characters that can be entered for Title and Content ID.
Custom metadata too can be controlled in the same way . For example, if metadata "Version" need to limit the number of characters being entered then "Side Effects" to be set is as follows :
<$xVersion:maxLength=50$>
NB - the maxLength parameter is not supported for fields of type Memo. It will only take effect on standard text fields.
Thanks,
Srinath

Custom Metadata for Microsoft Word

Since Microsoft Word has a limited property/metadata fields and there is no budget to purchase a document management system, I am thinking of storing custom metadata fields in a XML file or a database.
Can Ultra Search be configured to search the Word documents by full-text and metadata fields? If so, how?

You should start by downloading the Acrobat SDK and building the sample plugins. This is C/C++, there is no support for .NET.
Next you will need to read the relevant section of ISO 32000-1:2008 (the PDF standard) or a book such as “Developing with PDF” (from O’Reilly). This is required to understand how the PDF file format and objects work.
Finally, you can then start looking at the SDK documentation around the Cos and PD layers to apply to what you need to do.

Restrict custom metadata for DAM assets

Can we restrict custom metadata to appear only for a few DAM assets? For eg, I have assets under two folders, myProject1 and myProject2 in DAM. Suppose I want the custom metadata fields to show up only for the assets under myProject1, can that be done? If yes, how?
This is with respet to the details in http://wem.help.adobe.com/enterprise/en_US/10-0/wem/dam/how_to_edit_metadata.html

Hey Sham,
I have customized the granite interface to have the additional metadata field.
I have even overlayed /apps/dam/gui/content/assets/metadataeditor/items/content/col2/image/items to add an additional metadata node , to be present in the granite interface, but i see that it works fine for "projectA", ie. both png and jpeg files have the sample metadata in the granite interface, but the .png files of projects, other than "projectA" eg geometrixx have the sample metadata field, while the jpg files dont, after using the function: function(f, r, p) { if (p.indexOf("/content/dam/project/providers") != 0) { f.hide(); } return true;.
Kindly suggest where i have gone wrong.
