Open XML Forms not using KM

Hi experts,
I have the following request:
Place a link in the Portal that displays a custom XML Form document to fill in.
By now I have always filled in new XML Forms documents by accessing KM and selecting 'New > Form > <custom form>'.
Now I need to access a XML Form by clicking a link in Portal (without accessing KM). Is there any special iView already created for this? Is this possible in any other way?
Many thanks in advenced and regards
Stella

Hi,
You can create a KMnavigation iView and change the following propertie s
Layout set = NewsExplorer
folder =News
and create iView.
Assign this Iview to the role and role to a user.So when user clieks on role he can create news .
Hope it helps.
Reward suitable points.

Can you create a form not using a php script?

I need to create a contact us form on my website using DW and have researched how and understand the easiest way is using a php script. Unfortuntately, my webhost server does not support this and will charge me an arm and a leg in order to to do it. Is there another way to have a functioning contact form not using a php script?

Yes and no.
You could use a mailto link for your form action instead of a PHP script.
There are several problems with this method though. First, when you do that, you are at the mercy of the viewer's computer set-up. Mailto links use whatever email client is installed on the machine in order to send the message. Public computers (libraries, colleges, etc) almost never have an email client installed, so when a viewer on one of those machines clicks the link, nothing happens. Secondly, your email address is open for spam harvesters, so you may end up with enlargement and nigerian scam emails flooding your inbox.
Since your provider doesn't give you a way to do it the right way on your server, you may want to look into email form services online and see if they are less expensive than your current alternative.

Xml forms not rendered in default layout set - urgent

Hi guys,
I've to display several properties and to provide the rating and feedback service in conjunction with xml forms because a "NewsRenderer" doesn't support the display of additional properties.
So I tried to use one of the default layout sets (e.g. "Consumer Explorer") but the <b>xml forms are not rendered after selecting the "contentLink"</b> (displays raw content of xml document). I'm looking quite a long for a command that opens and renders the xml forms in a new window - without any success...
Please help! TIA

Help needed - XML forms not displaying in my repository

Hi all
I could really do with some help here. I have a custom XML form for news articles. It works fine in the standard documents repository, but I have my iView pointing to a folder in my own CM repository.
When a user tries to directly access the "show" form, instead of the form it displays the XML code. Any ideas why this is?
My CM repository is running the following services:
layout, properties, svc_acl, tbp
EP6SP14
Thanks! Chris

Hello,
I have the same problem. When I'm trying to create an XML file using XML form in the repository /etc, I get the following error:
XML - Forms
Cannot create item e0977870-cf29-2d10-bb89-d00b5761268c.xml in collection /etc/public/; operation is not supported.
When I do the same in repository /documents, it works fine.
I think, I've made the neccesary settings for the repository (Form Based Publishing, ...).
Any clues will be highly appreciated.

KM Repository images,and XML Forms not displaying.

Hello All,
I am currently running NW04 SPS14 Portal with KM & Collaboration.
However, the icons in the Content Management>> Explorer>> Documents repository are not displaying. Instead a little while box, with a red x sign appears in place of the images.
When I launch the XML Forms builder, the application doesnt load.
Also, the content developed using XML forms are no longer displaying, instead I get an error message "<b>Resource cannot be displayed with XML Resource Renderer</b>"
I will appreciate any suggestion that will help to resolve this problem.
Thank you.
Regards,
Collins.

Hi Collins
Have u got any solution to your problem . Could you please share the solution to this problem

How to open XML form item into the same window?

Hello All,
I've developed a xml form, when I click on the item with KM Navigation Iview It opens in a new window.( _blank ).
Is there a way to open it in the same window ( _self )?
Thanks

Hi Amit,
at the moment, this is not configurable. See XML form display in same browser window for possible workarounds.

Openning XML Forms 'Document' in a Power Point

Kinda strange question for everyone.
We are looking to have portal users enter data into KM using XML Forms. However, when the users go to view the content entered from the XML Forms we would like it to be view via a Power Point slide. Anyone done this before?

Hi Craig,
I think a solution could be a content filter which transforms the XML forms content into PowerPoint format. If you have a transformation rule from XML forms to PP format this should be no problem.

Open XML converter not coverting docx to doc

I am trying to open docx in word 2004 for mac. On my old iBook I had the microsoft Open XML converter which worked fine. I just download it on my newly acquired macbook and it only converts docxs to rfts. How do I get it to convert docxs to docs?

Check the MS website; I believe they offer a free docx converter now. TextEdit will open docx documents, but often without the formatting. OpenOffice probably opens them, as well.
I use docxConverter, a free utility available from many places online.

How to set the default Excel cell format when opening XML to XLS using an existing stylesheet?

Hi,
I have an XML file, which I'm opening with the Excel application. The stylesheet I use is horizontal.xsl.
The problem arised when the XML has data in the format "1/4" or "1/16", which is translated in the Excel as date (like "01/04/2007").
I think I have to set the default cell type to "Text" instead of "General". Does anyone know how it can be done?

Is this the same question as idoZo, if so jigg has already answered it. If not then you should post your own query not hijack someone elses giving a clear and concise question, "how to set it??" doesn't help you or other in the forum to provide you with a solution.
Is this relevant to TestStand? If it is then help by providing which version you are using and what software you are using with it. If not then post your question in the correct board.

Delete xml element not used in document

Hi,
If you have a number of texts tagged with an xml element and then delete the text, the element still exist in the structure.
You can see the element still connected to a text, by the blue diamond on the element symbol.
But i want do delete the elements that have no connection to texts, but cant find the right property to look for.
In Java script CS4.
Anyone knows?
/Mikael

If the (text) element is unplaced, its parentStory will be an XmlStory rather than a Story.
So try:
var elements = app.activeDocument.xmlElements[0].xmlElements.everyItem().getElements();
for (var i = elements.length - 1;i >= 0;i--){
if(elements[i].parentStory.constructor.name === "XmlStory"){
elements[i].remove();
This is untested. If you have tagged graphics frames it will need to be modified to not error on those.

XML forms / news - delete button

In the RenderListItem form, I did included two buttons :
- edit button to edit the news => work perfectly
- delete button to delete the news => the problem
When I click on the delete button, I receive the following message :
XML - Forms
Item /BvD-it SEPNews/Others/0056c04e-7c12-2a10-8185-c74e6f577c75.xml does not exist
but the file do exist.
When I click on the OK button (at the end of the message), the news is effectively deleted.
So this is functionnaly working, but it comes with a non relevant error message.
Thank you for your help
Vincent

Thank you Matthias,
I did add the buttons to the xml forms, not to use the FlexUI command.
This solution bette fits the layout requirements I've.
Are you sure about your statement that these buttons are no more supported ? Because I did opened an OSS message about the error, and discussion is going on, they never said it was no more supported. (Next step is to connect to our Portal)
I'll keep the Treath updated with the solution provided by SAP.
Thank you and kind regards
Vincent

XML Forms Template Translation

Hi expertes!
Customer is actively using XML templates for generating news and other KM content information.
All the XML forms templates are created using XML forms builder and created in local language. The customer has customers in different countries and want to have the Templates translated so they can easily create forms in different languages. Ie: forms translated, buttons, headings and so on....
One way of creating different templates would be to open up the local template in XML forms builder and make a copy(Save as) and translate the template, generate it and thus making template available in a different language. BUT this represents a lot of work if you have lets say 5-6 languages and all templates must be translated. Not to mention if you want to add a field, you would have to do it 5-6 times.
Question?
Are there any way of "translating" the XML template like you can do with "portal content translation" so you maintain only one XML form template but it changes according to the logon language of the portal?
like adding "language filters" to one xml template
Thanx in advance
Trond

Hi, Thanx to this Forums professional users
ihave found the way of translating the XML forms template for easy changing the XML forms language using Userid language. So when a user logs on and wants to create a new XML forms(news ect.) they get the form in their own language.
Found in SAP help:
Language-Dependent Resource Files
You can use the default resource files as a template for language-dependent resource files. Note the following naming conventions for language-dependent resource files:
<Preferences location>/<project name>/<project name>_<language key>.xml
For example, an item file for Italian could have the following ID:
/etc/xmlforms/SAP_DemoNews/SAP_DemoNews_it.xml
You have to create the language-dependent resource files manually (see Activities). You offcourse change the content of the xml
Question:
When we translate the form and test it, the entering template(xml) works perfect and we can generate the xml forms(news) in no time, BUT when displaying the XML forms in "SHOW" modus, it points back to a NON translated XML/XLS form. The translation of the form should also print/show the translated xml forms in SHOW modus also? Is there a way of translating the SHOW, bcs going into the forms builder is too time consuming and we can n ot do this bcs of short timeframe.
Any solutions to this, Thanx!!
Best Regards

XML Forms on the Portal posting to an IDOC

Scenario
Goals
1. Portal Based XML form being used by users to enter information
2. Posting to an IDOC in R3
Current Solution
1. The XML form outputs a file to local file system through the EP
2. XI then takes this file transforms
3. XI Posts IDOC
Question .
Is there more elegant solution, making use of the file system to transfer files between system strikes me as "ugly". How would I configure the XML form to post directly to XI via a webservice call etc..., I understand how to make the service available in XI, Im just not sure how to make the EP post the XML XI so It can then post the IDOC ?
Notes.
1. The XML form has been developed using the Form builder in the Portal
2. Both the Portal and XI are on NW6 at this stage.
thanks

Since researching a little I have discovered the idea of posting an XML form to an IDOC is flawed. So the desired archiecture is now, a form of some sort that can be visually appealing like an XML form that can post directly to an RFC in ECC.
Enterprise Portal Form -
> ECC (RFC)
I have protyped this interaction with Guided Procedures in NW7 and it seems to work but the form presentation is still a mystery.
How can I have complete control over the presentation of a form in GP to send the data into SAP, or is the visual composer a better solution ?
