RH5 JavaHelp Remote URL to Web Form

I was wondering if anyone has encountered this issue.
In order to get around the JavaHelp limitations with forms, we have been linking via a remote URL to a web form (created in FrontPage) to collect feedback through email. The form is no longer working in JavaHelp. The page loads in the JavaHelp window, but it never goes anywhere. When you click submit, the form resets and nothing is received in email. The form works fine when linked on the web or in WebHelp.
I've tried a removing the link and reinserting, changing the recipient, the confirmation page, but no luck. Any suggestions? Other than switching to something other than JavaHelp -- 'fraid I've got no control over that decision

Hi there
I suppose JavaHelp is incapable of opening just a plain ole Web Page in a new window? That sounds like all you really need to achieve here.
Cheers... Rick

Passing Parameter from URL to Web Forms - Oracle 10 Application Server

Hi All -
I want to pass parameter from a URL to 10g Oracle Web Forms - Oracle Application Server 10.1.2
http://server1/forms/frmservlet?config=SATWEB_SSO&otherparams=username_sso=BABUS
How to receive this 'username_sso' value inside my forms application ?
Created a Parameter in the same name as URL parameter 'username_sso' in forms but didn't receive the value. I want to know how to receive the value of this parameter within forms from URL.
Thanks - Suresh

Try this,
1. Create a parameter in the formsweb.cfg (say username_sso) under default section ( or you can create it in your own config section)
2. Add the username_sso in otherparams parameter as username_sso=%username_sso%
3. Add this username_sso parameter in your form.
4. Run the form as
http://<machine>:<port>.....?form=blahblah....&otherparams=username_sso=scott

Arun

First ever Web Form - URL error

Hi. I'm attempting to call my first Web form, but I'm getting this error:
URL:
http://springfield01:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=ttmsmenu
ERROR:
500 Internal Server Error
Forms Servlet Error.
Missing or invalid value for baseHTML parameter.
Please check the servlet configuration to make sure this value specifies a valid file.
My FormsWeb.Cfg file is posted below. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

# $Id: formsweb.cfg 15-apr-2005.13:17:30 pkuhn Exp $
# formsweb.cfg defines parameter values used by the FormsServlet (frmservlet)
# This section defines the Default settings. Any of them may be overridden in the
# following Named Configuration sections. If they are not overridden, then the
# values here will be used.
# The default settings comprise two types of parameters: System parameters,
# which cannot be overridden in the URL, and User Parameters, which can.
# Parameters which are not marked as System parameters are User parameters.
# SYSTEM PARAMETERS
# These have fixed names and give information required by the Forms
# Servlet in order to function. They cannot be specified in the URL query
# string. But they can be overridden in a named configuration (see below).
# Some parameters specify file names: if the full path is not given,
# they are assumed to be in the same directory as this file. If a path
# is given, then it should be a physical path, not a URL.
# USER PARAMETERS
# These match variables (e.g. %form%) in the baseHTML file. Their values
# may be overridden by specifying them in the URL query string
# (e.g. "http://myhost.mydomain.com/forms/frmservlet?form=myform&width=700")

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

Form fields in LiveCycle. I want to allow users to add URLs to a form so that they can be clicked and opened on the web by form reviewers (users). what is the best way to achieve this?

Once the user has entered the URL they want to add to the form. You can use the loadXML function to implement some special text in a label...
var linkValue = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?><exData contentType=\"text/html\" xmlns=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-template/2.8/\"><body xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\" xmlns:xfa=\"http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/\" xfa:APIVersion=\"Acroform:2.7.0.0\" xfa:spec=\"2.1\"><p style=\"font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:0in\">The new link the user have entered is:<a href=\"" + textfield.rawValue + "\">textfield.rawValue</a></p></body></exData>";
this.resolveNode("lblURL").value.exData.loadXML(linkValue, 1, 1);

Web Forms - Opening a form from a URL in an Email

Hi. I use the following URL to call an Oracle Web Form from an e-mail (Lotus Notes client e-mail on Windows XP). This works fine as is, but it is not forcing the Web Form to open in Internet Explorer. On some user's PCs it opens in FireFox - I believe this might be because Firefox has been set as their default browser. Is there anything I can add to this URL that will force it to open in Internet Explorer?
<u><a href="http://9.35.32.205:7777/forms/frmservlet?config=TTMSMENU&form=dropper_em&otherparams=p_dropper='||PPARAMETER||'">Dropper Id: '||PPARAMETER||'</a></u>Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Another option might be JavaScript:
http://www.tutorial5.com/content/view/51/45/
I'm sure this won't work with every JavaScript engine...
Question is: why do you want to force your users to use Internet Explorer? My default browser is Firefox too, and I have to say I'd be pretty pissed if you'd force me to use Internet Explorer ;).
If you are having troubles configuring the JPI under Firefox you might want to read this:

How do I access my Web Form Keychain password?

Hello!
I lost the original email containing my password from a web site months ago and need to access the password in the Keychain WEB FORM file.
I dont' need to CHANGE it, I need to see the old one so I can log into the web site again since they changed the site, and the login page is now different with a new URL etc....so the autofill doesn't work.
I'm in Keychain access and I see the event but how do I edit the form so I can see my password?
It's my computer, this shouldn't be so hard to do.
thanks
A

Hey Kappy
thanks.
I jsut found out how to do it.
When I double clicked on the Keychain item, there was a checkbox I didn't see before " show password" I clicked it then entered my system password then it showed it.
thanks!

My web form is not working with PayPal

Only seamless gateways such as the "Pro" version of PayPal, eWay or Authorize.net will work with form payments. Gateways that have the user leave BC, such as PayPal Standard, Google Checkout or Realex, only work with the online store.

I did further testing:
1. I turned off the IPN and I still received the Error page.
2. Than I went and turned off the Payment Data Transfer, and now I got the blank page... /PaymentProcess.aspx?paypal=success. However, I still got the paypal transaction ID attached to the orders.
3. I turned on the IPN and still got the blank /PaymentProcess.aspx?paypal=success and I still got the paypal transaction ID attached to the orders.So the conclusion is that IPN has no bearing on payments made with PayPal Standard when it is used with custom forms.
4. I chaged the URL in the Return URL to go to the secure home page instea of to /PaymentProcess.aspx. and...it still sent me to the PaymentProcess.aspx and I still got the paypal transaction ID attached to the orders.
5. I made the purchase using shoping cart to ensure it works too and this time I even received the receipt on the /PaymentProcess.aspx. The Ref# and Auth Code were "Not Applicable" but it still worked and it was recorded in the orders with the paypal transaction ID
So my conclusions are:
1. IPN has no bearing on PayPal payments made from the custom web form
2. Payment Data Transfer being on sends to the pafe that can't be processesd and it renders Error message
3. Return URL always send you to the PaymentProcess/aspx regardless what secure url you put in there.
4. Transcation ID is always passed to the orders as long as it can connect to PayPal. I guess ur will do it as long as the Payment Gateway has the proper informration in there.
5. It works the same from the custom web form and from checkout form.
I hope this sheds some light and serves some purpose to whoever is completely confused by this as I am.
Mario and Liam, thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

How to use single web form for multiple secure zone signup?

I have multiple secure zones in my website. I want to sell membership of secure zones to users of my website. I want, users signup for multiple secure zone of their choice and submit payment. Is it possible if can you please explain a bit or refer me to an doc about it.
Thanks a lot for your time,

I realize this isn't likely, but do you know of a way to allow the user to select the secure zone to be registered (e.g. from a list of multiple secure zones or entering ID of one sz into a text input) from within a single web form? I wonder if this can be passed in through a parameter in the action URL or through a special system field.
Thanks

Is Minimal OPTIN no longer working in Web Forms ?

I cant seem to get the code to auto optin

The problem is that, the subsrcibee does not get the optin email, which is good, but he is not subscribed either.

so I added &OPTIN=TRUE to catwebformform45938
so I had this catwebformform45938&OPTIN=TRUE
Which actually did subscribe them to the newsletter
However, they still got -
a) The landing page after subscription now shows
Campaign Newsletter Subscriptions
[Newsletter] - requires you to verify your subscription.
b) The email received now has the link in it.
I tried also adding it back to where I had it before, but then it went back to not being subscribed.
How can I get the landing page and email to understand they are subscribed and dont need reminder or the link.

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,
Thanks,

How to simulate DDE in Web Forms?

Surely there is some elegant way to do DDE in a Web Forms (6i)environment?
Given that Forms 7i will only support internet deployment and not C/S, there must be some "migration path" to replace the functionality of DDE in the C/S environment.
My need is a button on a Web Form to dynamically insert data from 8i server into an Excel "template" spreadsheet, then open the spreadsheet on the client. The user can then manipulate data in the spreadsheet. A button in the spreadsheet to synchronize the spreadsheet changes back to the 8i server and exit the spreadsheet and return to the Web Form.
Forms Server 6i is running on Solaris 2.6
Any ideas on techniques to do this?
Can Oracle COM Automation or Oracle Objects for OLE (OO4O) do the dynamic inserting of data into the excel template spreadsheet? (I don't know the difference between these??)
I know web.show_document can be used with a URL to the spreadsheet on the web server (IIS) and the MIME type will launch excel on the client and copy the file to the client.
How then can I get the updated cells back into 8i from the spreadsheet?

Magesh,
the issue of a SSO protected form showing the logon dialog is a knwon issue for Windows200 and the Oracle9iAS base release. If you applied Forms Patch 1 then this should be solved. Hope that I am right in that you are using Oracle9iAS and not Oracle9iDS. Do you see the Single Sign-On logon screen or the Forms logon dialog directly? Check the forms90.conf file in teh forms90/server directory as this contains the Form sso settings (mod_osso) which by default is commented out and therefore inactive. You need to remove the commenting '#' characters and make sure that each sentence having a '#' in front, after that starts on a new line.
The Forms deployment documentation within the Oracle9iAS docu provides this information too.

PB 12.5.1 Web Forms save as PDF

I'm having trouble creating PDF files in a Web Forms app deployed to a new server. I've done this successfully a few times using apparently identical configurations, so I'm not sure what's going on. Facts about the situation:
1. PB Classic 12.5.1 Web Forms target
2. IIS 7.5 on a remote Windows Server 2008 R2 server
3. Ghostscript 8.71
4. To determine whether Ghostscript was the problem, I installed a Win32 version of the PB app on the IIS server computer and tested. SaveAs() works as expected in the Win32 target.
5. To determine whether file system permissions were a problem, I used the Web Forms app to SaveAs() a text document and performed the DownloadFile(). The file downloads as expected.
6. It is the SaveAs() function call that is failing. The line
dw_report.SaveAs(<filename>, PDF!, FALSE)
returns -1
Thanks in advance for any suggestions...

Ronnie,
Here is some code that I use in a webform application to create a PDF file and send it as an attachment. Remember that you have to do MapVirtualPath so you can find the file after you do dw_1.saveas...
Also, when I had trouble it was because I named my printer 'Sybase Datawindow' instead of 'Sybase Datawindow PS'.
Chris Pollach recently posted some great step by step installation procedures for 32 and 64 bit machines.
Best,
Paul

Linking a PDF document to URL in Smart forms

Hi All,
Please anyone let me know how i can link a PDF document to a link in the smart form output.
I'm outputting Purchase order details on a smartform and I'm supposed to give an URL link for the user to click on it for Terms and Conditions.
Please note that I'm not using interactive forms in web dynpros nor developing with BSP.
I simply developed a smart form in SRM system and I'm able to display an URL but don't know how to link a PDF to that link.
Please some one let me know your ideas how i can attach a PDF to an URL in smart form.
Thanks in Advance,
Sowjanya

Hi,
Follow the below blog and it is very useful achiving your requirement.
in the blog:
in the below point,
Code to send the email
Following code will transform the html content into displayable format and send email to all the recipients. Note: This form also handles the images (static) defined in the smartform, as well as the images defined with html IMG tag (eg: URL link to image on the network).
you have to convert your pDF output into displayable format. then add that link to your smartform.
Thanks,
Sree.

How to send a user defined parameter to a web form?

Hi,
I4m looking for a solution how to send a user defined parameter to a web form when I start the form from a html-page.
I think that it should work to add the parameter to the URL.
Example: I added myparam=myvalue at the end oft the URL
http://my.server.com:7777/f60cgi?form=myform.fmx&userid=scott/tiger@mydb&otherparams=useSDI=NO&lookAndFeel=generic&colorScheme=teal&myparam=myvalue
How can I fetch the parameter myparam in forms?

You have the user the otherParams parameter, which you can specify in the formsweb.cfg file, or override on the url. e.g. http://myhost/servlet/f690servlet?config=myApp&otherParams=myParam=myValue
In the Forms Builder, in the Navigator window, there is a node called Parameters. Create one in there, and then you can refer to it like a block variable. e.g. if :myparam = 'myvalue' then...
At runtime, Forms will match up any parameters on the command with parameters defined in your form, and populate them for you. You don't have to do anything.
