Multi-page (or complex) portal web form?

We need to capture and store a lot of data in separate database tables for a single business process (i.e. ability for portal user to "register" for an out-of-town meeting).
We are looking to "link" web forms together in order to capture this data. We can't just use a single web page/form. We have one to many relationships and some data fields may not be displayed to the user based on previous user input.
We are using Portal 3.0.9.8.5 (Release 1). Any suggestions on how to do this? We have no software development tools other than what the Portal provides out-of-the-box. We do prefer a pl/sql solution.
Thanks,
Perry.

Do you really need a multipage form? In my experience people
really don't have the time or the inclination to fill in a large
form unless there applying for a bank account or an insurance
quote. Could you not collect the info you want in one page?
The process is the same as creating a single form page.
Create all your forms with the record insertion wizard. Remember to
set the first form to go to the second form after inserting and the
second to the third etc.
As for tutorials. You are probably best off buying a teach
yourself dreamweaver in 24hrs book cheap from ebay or
amazon.

Page after filling in web form and Css on Web apps

Hi All.
I have two questions.
1. How do I customise the page that appears after a web form has been filled in. The page the sumarises the details filled and thanks the user for filling in the form?
2. We have created a web app to display info on a page, which it does, but it isn't pulling the CSS styling from the main template. To make it work we have been putting inline CSS in the web app code, but this isn't ideal. Is there a way to make it look for the main CSS?
Thanks
Ken

Hi Ken,
1. You can find it under Site Manager > System Pages > Web Forms Confirmation Page
2. Does the detail page/web app item use a template? Did you make sure the referencing looks something like this: <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/styles.css" />?

I would like to save (in Downloads) multi-page articles off the web

Dear Sir/Madam,
Using the Save Page As....from the drop down window of Firefox 4 I could not save moe than the first page of a multi-page article. I could not figure out, from the available options, what else to use to achieve it.

What do you mean by Tabs sub-menu is it right-clicking on a tab ?
I know that "ctrl-shift-D" still work.
I know that a right-click on a tab gives the "Bookmark all Tabs" function.
But I would like to see it back in the Bookmarks menu. (which is its logical place)
Because today the choice only disappeared from the menu as it is still reachable through keyboard shortcut or through mouse right-click on a tab
but tomorrow it will totally disappear and personally I don't want that as this is one of my favorite functionality.
Tank you for your understanding !

Increase width of page items on a web form in v11.1.2.3

Hello
In Hyperion version 11.1.2.3 webforms, is there a way to increse the width of drop down page items in a form?
It seems that diemnsions used as pages items all reverst to on standard width, which make using the forms far less user friendly
In my case forms dispay aliases of projects and position/employee combinations where the full length of the member alias needs to be shown
Please let me know
Thanx
Berndt

Hi Paul,
I think that you have two posts for the same issue, am I correct?
Regarding your problem. Have you tried to run the rule without the variable? Put a trigger and try to "populate" a value in the specific member. This will explain if the issue is related with the variable or the member.

How to setup a purchase discount on my web form?

How to setup a purchase discount on my web form? I use adobe form central and my wix web page only allow me to insert ready host form URL.

Hi,
I believe you want to embed a form on your web page. Please take a look at this link, http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1991 and see if it works with your web page. I am not familiar with wix websites tools, but if after trying it out with the instructions on how to embed the form, and does not work, maybe you can provide the FormsCentral web form URL on your web page. Your end users visit your web page, click on the web form URL link and the form will open in a new browser.
To get the FormsCentral web form URL, open the form, go to Distribute Tab / Web Form sub-tab and select "Copy Link", then paste the link on your web html page.
If you want to set up your form to work with PayPal for payment transaction, please see this link: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1632
Hope this helps,

Firefox will only print the first page of many from web. solution please.

i read on google it has something to do with CSS and frames but as i am not an experienced programmer i have no idea how to change how firefox copes with these
whilst trying to print a multi-page document from the web (such as guitar tabs or emails) only the first page shows in the print preview and this is what prints (obviously)
the troubleshooting guide says to save it as a different file type then print but if you want to keep the formatting then...
and also, it's a bit of a faf if you have to do it every time you want to print something
any responses appreciated. thanks in advance.

Please fix this Firefox printing! It is impossible to change the millions of web sites to make sites "Firefox printing bug" compatible.
Where is the Firefox source code? Is there a git repository?
There are no announcements nowhere that you cannot print in Firefox. At least put a big sign on the Mozilla front page that Firefox does not support printing.

ASP Web Forms Error: Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true

Hello,
I am developing a custom application page for a custom Web Forms I am creating, which I plan on using for custom task form into SharePoint 2010 Foundation.
Currently, I am trying to test it in Debug Mode using Visual Studio 2010 but when I am trying to use Sessions I get the error:
Session state can only be used when enableSessionState is set to true, either in a configuration file or in the Page directive. Please also make sure that System.Web.SessionStateModule or a custom session state module is included in the <configuration>\<system.web>\<httpModules> section in the application configuration
I've already done this on trying to fix:
On my page
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="TestForm.aspx.cs" Inherits="TestForm" EnableSessionState="True" %>
And on my web.config
<pages enableSessionState="true">..<httpModules>
<remove name="Session" />
<add name="Session" type="System.Web.SessionState.SessionStateModule, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"/>
</httpModules>
Note: I am getting an error when I try to add <module> into web.config
ASP .NET State Service is currently running.
And the part where it keeps error is when in PageLoad, I try to set a List object something like this:
List<object> myobject
get
if (Session["object"] == null)
Session["object"] = new List<object>();
return Session["object"] as List<object>;
set
Session["object"] = value;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
myobject= new List<object>();
BUT the error still persists! I also try to restart IIS but still the error still happens.
I am running out of ideas so can you help me out?
Thank you!

Could be your skype intercepting your requests at 80 port, in Skype options uncheck
Or Your IE has connection checked for Proxy when there is no proxy
Or your fiddler could intercept and act as proxy, uncheck it!

Creation of a portal page using XML web form

Hi Experts,
I want to know how to make a portal page using XML web forms... Please tell me the steps involved in doing the aforesaid.
Thanks in advance...

Hi
You compose page using WPC(Web page Composer), this is a bussiness package, which you need to deploy it on portal server then will get a WPC role which you can assign the user and then user can start composing the using follwoing PDF
To compose it chect this pdf
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2041eb17-6001-2b10-b08d-b95ce55fa9b7?overridelayout=true

Web Form Validation Message Language Setting at Runtime when work in multi lingual environment

Business Catalyst use the default culture language to display web form validation message.
When we are in multi lingual environment and not using subdoamin to handle multilingual sites, we found that the validation message did appear in the default culture setting. To make this work, we need to add the below script in our template.
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var head= document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
var script= document.createElement('script');
script.src= '/BcJsLang/ValidationFunctions.aspx?lang=FR';
script.charset = 'utf-8';
script.type= 'text/javascript';
head.appendChild(script);
</script>
Assuming the template is in french. You can change the lang parameter in the script according to your language.

After user 1 submits the page, it might not even be committed, so there is no way to have the pending data from user1 seen by user2.
However, we do have a new feature in ADF 11g TP4 that I plan to blog more about called Auto-Refresh view objects. This feature allows a view object instance in a shared application module to refresh its data when it receives the Oracle 11g database change notification that a row that would affect the results of the query has been changed.
The minimum requirements in 11g TP4 to experiment with this feature which I just tested are the following:
1. Must use Database 11g
2. Database must have its COMPATIBLE parameter set to '11.0.0.0.0' at least
3. Set the "AutoRefresh" property of the VO to true (on the Tuning panel)
4. Add an instance of that VO to an application module (e.g. LOVModule)
5. Configure that LOVModule as an application-level shared AM in the project properties
6. Define an LOV based on a view accessor that references the shared AM's VO instance
7. DBA must have performed a 'GRANT CHANGE NOTIFICATION TO YOURUSER'
8. Build an ADF Form for the VO that defined the LOV above and run the web page
9. In SQLPlus, go modify a row of the table on which the shared AM VO is based and commit
When the Database delivers the change notification, the shared AM VO instance will requery itself.
However that notification does not arrive all the way out to the web page, so you won't see the change until the next time you repaint the list.
Perhaps there is some way to take it even farther with the active data feature PaKo mentions, but I'm not familiar enough with that myself to say whether it would work for you hear.

Multi-Page Forms

I am interested in creating a form based on a table that is displayed as several pages. I have a table with many values (mostly because of a need for check boxes) and would like to have form with three pages and a submit/next button between each page. Has anyone created a form like this? Suggestions as to how this should be approached?
Thanks,
Jeff

Have you considered using a tab or an accordion widget and
keep all sections
under one single page? It would make your life easier.
See for example:

Multi Page Forms in Adobe Muse

Hi,
Im trying to create a multi page form in Muse. Now I understand about just changing the landing page after form has been sent (as below) HOWEVER how can you delete the email field?...I want to do this as if I have a multi page form, each time I put a form on a page im going to have an email field which I dont want - I only want this on the first page.
Thanks
Paul
You can achieve this by changing the landing page in "After Sending " dropdown.
http://screencasts.worldsecuresystems.com/Sanju/2013-11-19_1851.png
For example insert forms in pages , then change the landing page through "After sending" setting to another page , so that user from front end submits the form and then lands to another page which has the next step of the form. This way multi-step form can be created.
But each form will notify you separately on submissions.
If you are using Business Catalyst to publish then you can perform the same through BC by changing the action url of the form.
Thanks,
Sanjit

that means no one is even working on this, and no one wants to talk
about a negative that doesn't have a fix around the corner or even
on the horizon. (If you don't have anything good to say, don't say
anything at all). Its really a shame, since printing is so vital to
the desktop and AIR is supposed to be the bridge between the
desktop and web.
There are a couple bug reports on this issue that you might
vote for if interested:
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/SDK-13895
https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/ASC-3300
Of course the status of the bugs is "deferred" and the
priority is "none," which only reinforces my belief that Adobe
doesn't intend to address this any time soon.
If this is true, then its really bad
I already had selected AIR for my University Project, and If
adobe doesnt add printing support within 6 months, then im going to
have a hard time
Is there any article which talks about those semi printing
ways like Save to HTML or simialr?

Issue with New Web Form Created for Web Page Composer

Hello,
I created new Web Form as per the example given on sdn: https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2041eb17-6001-2b10-b08d-b95ce55fa9b7
Everything looks fine with all the setup but when I restarted the Portal, I am not seeing this new webform where we see Article, List, Banner and other webform to create new document in Web Page Composer section.
Any idea what could be the reason behind this would be really helpful?
regards,
Jaish

Hi Jaish,
Can you please confirm if you have followed all the steps in here.
The following configuration steps are necessary:
1.Create a KM Resource Type
2.Create a Web Resource Type and assign the KM Resource Type to it
3.Extending the Configuration of Existing Web Resource Types and Containers
4.Referencing the XSL File in the Stylesheet Object
5.Creating a Stylesheet Group
6.Referencing the XML File in the Document Type
7.Restart the portal
Make sure that you store the files in the following KM folders:
The XML file in the /etc/wpceditor/types directory, the XSL files in the /etc/wpceditor/styles directory.
Please refer to this link.

Hi Adit,
According to your description, my understanding is that the error occurred when you deployed the .wsp files to SharePoint 2013.
I recommend to check if all the assemblies are put into the BIN and GAC.
If above cannot work, you can check the troubleshooting steps in the link below:
