Properties in XML Forms label

Hi
I'm working with the XML Forms builder, and I'm trying
to add properties as name, mail, and so on to labels
in the edit form. So that the user doesn't have to fill
this in, in a registration form.
But I don't have any success in getting it to work.
Theres nothing displayed in the labels.
Is this possible?
And if, does someone have any suggestions on how to get
it to work?
Another way to get the user information could be a link
to the users card, but how should that be done?
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Missing permissions to delete temporary files in xml forms builder

Hi,
we have the following problem:
A user with role content manager is using the xml forms builder. Every time, he is saving or generating a project, a error message comes up, telling him, that some files *.xml.xlb.___save_file could not be deleted. Those are temporary files which are created during editing (I guess?!).
As recommended by SAP, the content manager only has read/write permission on the used KM-folder. If the user has the role (NOT group!) Administrator, everything works just fine. The same is true when the permissions are added manually. Is this the only way to solve the problem or am I missing some configuration?
Help appreciated.
Best regards,
Hauke Siehlmann

Dear Hauke,
Hope you found a solution in the meantime for this permission issue. Hence I just give a very general comment on this. Generally such content admins are supposed to be System Principals in CM by role assignment.
By this concept and default delivery on this it is assured that users having access to administrative iViews by role assignment does also have relevant permissions. See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/19/56f28fbd4e11d5993b00508b6b8b11/frameset.htm.
Whenever having custom specific roles this System Principal concept should be part of the design.

How can i convert the HTML information in XML form to a PDF?

Hi does any body know how can i convert the content of an HTML field in a XML Form in a regular text to include in a PDF in a Java program?

Hi ,
On the tool bar you have an option "Browser" which is next to "HTML Editor" .
You know that for using these elements wo have to map them with Data Schema.
Step by step
1. In data Model Under Data Schema Add a child and name it Read_More.
2. In the left hand corner ,click on tab Type and from the drop down select "rid"
3.Click on the "Browser" from the toolbar (as told earlier) and drag and drop it on the form.
4. Drag the Data schema which u have made(Read_more) and drop it on the browser on form. On right hand side u will se the mapping done.
5.Click on the "Browser" which is there in the form and on the right hand side of the form u will see the property window.
6.In property window change the value of action property to "Item Entry point"
7. Repeat step 3 and 4 in Render and show form but using "label" nad not browser.
Do not forget to add Save button in Edit Form.
This will solve your problem.
PS:Rewards Point Please.

How to display system property in XML forms

Hi
We are using XML forms template for publishing news in KM. In the show form we got author field (a label in the form) which is mapped to system property createdby (PropertyReference = /Properties/default:createdby).But while displaying the form author is not getting populated. When I try to edit the form in XML forms builder in data model tab under properties node no property is visible. Nothing is shown up in properties even after reload option is selected from context menu of properties node.
I cheked by manually editing PropertyReference to some other property (e.g. modifiedby) but nothing is showing up.
Can you please suggest how the createdby system property can be shown in the xml form?
Thanks & Regards
Sudip

Hi Sudeep,
Please try to open the formbuilder in another machine and try to see the properties xml form design view.
You can even directly can create a lable in show form and add the property name along with the nama space name.
For default properties namspace is default.Create a lable UI element in show form and select the datasource property and add the property value in that.
With we can show file related system generated properties in show form.

How can you update the content of a textfield in a dynamic xml form from MSAccess and VBA

I am trying to use the code below to update a field in a dynamic xml form created by Livecycle.
I can read the field content but cannot change it.
What am I missing?
Thanks
R
Sub test()
Dim oPDF As AcroPDDoc
Dim FileDestName As String
Dim jso As Object
Dim ofld As Object
    FileSrcName = "C:\Documents and Settings\My Documents\ADOBE Forms\NoVB.pdf"
    Set oPDF = CreateObject("AcroExch.PDDoc")
    Set jso = oPDF.GetJSObject
    Set ofld = jso.getfield("form1.TopForm.Header.Subform1.Contact")
    Debug.Print ofld.Value
     ofld.Value = "HHH"
    Debug.Print ofld.Value
oPDF.Save PSsavefull, FileSrcName
oPDF.Close
Set jso = Nothing
Set oPDF = Nothing
End Sub

You need to research the difference between an AcroForm and an XFA form. You're trying to access a "Field" object, which is an AcroForm object. An XFA form does not have fields, it has nodes. The JavaScript you are using is specific to AcroForms and you are working with an XFA form.

XML FORM - How to save read-only controls with a default value

Hello everybody,
I have a 3 xml forms, each one to create one type of news. I need to use 3 because each of this forms has their own controls. But the control which indicates the type of news (asociated with a KM Predefined Property) must be common in the 3 forms, in order to use it on searches.
The question is, how can I include in this forms a control:
- Visible for the user
- With a default value defined in the control properties (each form has a different value, corresponding with the type of news)
- Read-only mode
- The value showed in the control must be saved in the associated KM Predefined Property when the user clicks the Save button.
Anyone knows how to do this?
What control can I use?
I was thinking of trying with text boxes, but I don't find the way to make them unwritable (Read only mode).
It is posible using labels?
Thanks.
Kind regards

Hello Jose,
I know you responded with a question... I see it in the email, but I don't see it here! Very odd... but in response:
The first thing I do when I open the Edit.xsl file is do a 'find' for the name of the text field that I want to be read-only (in my test case, it's 'location'). Repeat the find until you see something like:
[code][/code]
Below there is where I put the new code. Mine looks like this:
[code]- <xsl:choose>
- <xsl:when test="location='' and ($editmode='create')">
- <xsl:choose>
- <xsl:when test="./xf:ValidationError/@tagname='location'">
- <input name="location" size="30" type="text" class="urEdfiTxtEnbl" id="field_1157467268006">
- <xsl:attribute name="tabindex">
- <xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$accessibilitymode='true'">21</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>3792</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="''" />
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="readonly">true</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:when>
- <xsl:otherwise>
- <input name="location" size="30" type="text" tabindex="3792" class="urEdfTxtEnbl" id="field_1157467268006">
- <xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="''" />
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="readonly">true</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>[/code]
I put the <xsl:attribute name="readonly"> in both places (when test, and when not test). I'm not entirely sure if that's necessary, but that worked for me.
Hope this helps,
Fallon

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.

Display Values of predefined properties in XML Forms

In EP60 SP11 we have created several XML Forms with XFBuilder. In these forms several metadata properties are used which have predefined values available via a metadata extension. Everything works fine, except for the display of the predefined values. The "Show" and "List" forms of the XF Project display the value keys in stead of the value labels. For example, the value key "countries_EN" is displayed in stead of "United Kingdom". This problem also seems to be eminent when using static combo boxes. How can we proceed in order to have the value labels displayed in stead of the value keys??
Thx Caspar

Hi,
You might have to use the control selector and add a condition...
ie. if the condition is "countires_EN" then the caption will be "United Kingdom"
Cheers,
Vic

Issue in XML Form Builder

Dear Experts,
i am new to XML Form Builders in Portal, so i have started with this document as my first form:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/ee639033-0801-0010-0883-b2c76b18583a?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
but i have come across two issues can you please guide me to troubleshoot this issue's:
Issue 1:
I have made changes as per the document but as per the document (refer page: 17, 2. point)
refer this image from document: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/825/xmlerror1.png/
New> Form>?,   here my created News is not displayed
But it show like below:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/839/xmlerror2.png/
As shown in the image no News form that I have created?
Did I miss anything?
Issue 2:
As per page 18 from same document:
Path to Initially Displayed Folder:      /documents/myNews
Path to Root Folder for Navigation:    /documents/myNews
I have created Iviews with the same pathu2019s and when I Preview I am getting the error as below:
Item not found
/documents/myNews
The item you are attempting to access is not available. Check that the name or link is correct. You might also check whether the associated repository is currently accessible.
It seems that I am completely in wrong track can someone guide me in right direction to solve this both the issues.
Full points will be awarded for sure!
Regards,
Mahesh

Hi,
Please read and try to understand the concept; give yourself some time. Try to understand what an XMLForms project is and how this differs from content based on such a project.
> Path to initially displayed folder : /documents/myNews
> Path to root folder for Navigation: /documents/myNews
These are just two settings for the KM navigation iView; you can read the (different) meanings on help.sap.com. But in short words: You just configure to which folder the KM navigation iView points to. That's all.
> so here it pointing to both newly created folder for saving the form created by the end users
If you have the iView, it is a KM nav iView pointing to this folder. Now an "end user" - it is: an author - can call this iView and can create content based on the XMLForms you have created before (Folder - New - Forms - ...). That's all. That works. End of story. Afterwards, XMLForms content objects based on your project are to be found in this folder.
> but this folder "myNews" does not contain the form which i have created
You have created an XMLForms project. Period. You can ("author" iView!!!) create content based on your project in that folder.
> so how do the end users see my form in first case.
??? Really, you have to be much more precise if you want to survive in IT... What is your "end user"? We are talking of an author iView. In that cas it is an author. And under "Folder - New - Forms - ..." there is the possibility to create new XMLForms content based on the project you have created. (That you have said by yourself - issue 1 was gone!!!)
There is nothing more to explain. That it everything. I really don't see your or any problem any more.
