URL Display Pattern

I have a field that's populated by a partial URL that I'd like displayed as a full URL. I had assumed the pattern would be:
'http://www.mysite.com/'AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
...but this doesn't work. It simply shows the stored values. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I enter numbers for the phone number as directed, eg, 1234567899, but I always get an error message saying to input the info using numericals but also to input it as 1234567899 (which I did); but once I click ok, it inputs it the way it is supposed to. Any fix on how not to get that error message, as I was putting the info in correctly? Please help!
Thanks.

Use javascript to create a display pattern

I have a text field that is subject to parameters regarding display (color, font, posture) in the initialize, enter, and exit event for the field. With this script, using the display patterns on the object palette apparently will not work because of the code. Seems like the logical solution would be to add a pattern definition in the exit event. However, I do not know the syntax for this. I am looking to apply a US currency pattern such as num{($z,zzz,zz9.99)} to the field. I have tried things like this.font.pattern = num{($z,zzz,zz9.99)}; but that does not seem to work.
Can anyone suggest the right code?

I used your suggestion as follows:
this.format.picture.value = "num{($z,zzz,zz9.99)}";
in the enter event and it worked like a charm.
Thanks.

How to dynamically assign Display Pattern using FormCalc in Adobe PDF Form

I am using Adobe PDF Form Designer. I am trying to dynamically assign a display pattern like MM/DD/YYYY to the Field tab - Display Pattern property. May I know how to do that?
I am using FormCalc scripting.

hi,
After placing the date field in layout from data view, u will get tabs like field,layout,border etc..
In field tab under the edit pattern specify the pattern in which you want to display the date field.
hope this works.

How to change the Display Pattern for Decimal Fields dynamically

hi all,
Can any one help me how to change the display pattern for decimal fields dynamically???
Currently I am using z,zzz,zzz,zz9.999 Display pattern for Quantity Field. If the value is blank it is displaying as 0.000 on the Screen. But I don't want this to be printed.
Please help me how to solve this ASAP.
Thanks,
Prabhu

Hi,
Alternatively you can handle it in the context.
In the context area, click on the quantity. In the bottom, click on the conditions tab, and put a condition
<quan field> NE initial.
So the field will not be printed if there is no value.

Display pattern questions

I would like to be able to set up a display patter that will add some asterisks or some other characters on each side of what ever a user enters in a field in order to flag the text. Is that possible? or is there a better way to do this than using display patters. I check the Designer help but could find much to answer my question.

Amanda,
Try to put a single quote around the parenthesis like this:
'('$ZZ,ZZ9.99')' for your display pattern.

Force Date "Display Pattern"??

Greetings,
We are having troubles with the "Display Pattern" of Date fields. The scenario is that we receive data in XML, apply it to the form, and then want it displayed in a specific format on the Form, but it doesn't work like it should.
For example,
1. Our XML contains dates in the format MM/DD/YYYY (e.g. 05/11/2010).
2. We want it displayed as MMMM D, YYYY (e.g. May 11, 2010)
So we set the "Display Pattern" of the "Date" field in LiveCycle, to equal date{MMMM D, YYYY}
But when we receive the data in the MM/DD/YYYY format from the XML, it still gets displayed on the Form as MM/DD/YYYY.
If we re-select the date on the form itself, the correct pattern is displayed. But we need these to be correct when the data is applied, and this doesn't seem to work.
Suggestions? Something we're missing?
Thanks in advance!!
GS

The Date Control expects data in the format YYYYMMDD.. But your XML is sending the data in MM/DD/YYYY, so you need to convert the input data to the required format. Then only the Display pattern can work.
Put the below code in the Initialize event of the Date control..
Language: FormCalc
$.rawValue = Ltrim(Rtrim($.rawValue));
$.rawValue
= Num2Date(Date2Num($.rawValue,"M/D/YYYY"), "YYYYMMDD");
Thanks

LiveCycle Designer 7, Display Pattern not working

With Adobe LiveCycle Designer version 7.1.2295.1.242059:
I have a Form that has fields that the user fills out and an "Email Submit Button" where when the user clicks it, it submits the form via email that attaches a .xml file. When I receive the email, I noticed that all the "Date" fields data does not have the slashes in them unless the user specifically uses the pop-up calendar form to set the date value for each of these fields. If the user just types in the date as "02192007", the data does not get converted to "02/19/2007".
I tried modifying the various Pattern properties of the date fields on the form, but that does not seem to fix the problem.
Also, if I set the following "date{MM/DD/YYYY}|date{M/D/YYYY}" as my "Validation Pattern:" for my Date fields, and everytime I enter "2/19/2007", I keep getting my "Validation Pattern Message", indicating that the format is wrong. However, if I enter "02" as the month, it works fine; only single digit months fail.
The other settings for this field that I have are:
(Field Tab): Display Pattern: MM/DD/YYYY
(Field Tab): Edit Pattern: MM/DD/YYYY
What am I doing wrong and how can I insure that slashes will come across on the XML file when it is submitted even though I have set the pattern properties?

Designer 8 doesn't help either.
I have the same settings Shweta proposes - but the exported date format is still different.
You can fill the date field via script (like the following) then the date format is allright. To me it looks like the designer's "date format" is simply a string and the designer doesn't care a bit about the display patterns.
var today = new Date();
var dayOfWeek = today.getDay();
var month = today.getMonth()+1;
var year = today.getFullYear();
var day = today.getDate();
this.rawValue = day + "." + month + "." + year;

Change display pattern at run time

I have a date/time field which has display pattern set as MM/DD/YYYY...
During run time, if user clicks on a check box...the display should change to DD/MMM/YYYY...How can i do that?

You can do this with a little bit of script on your check box's Click event (in FormCalc in this example):
if ($ == 1) then
DateTimeField1.format.picture = "DD/MMM/YYYY"
else
DateTimeField1.format.picture = "MM/DD/YYYY"
endif
The trick is to know that in XFA, what Designer refers to as the "Display" picture is the <format> node which contains a <picture> which, in turn, contains the "display" picture; or, the picture used to
format the field's value for display purposes.
I've attached a sample form which demonstrates this.

Display pattern of numeric field in adobe reader ver 8 and 9.

I have added a text field to my form and have set the following properties:
Type: Numeric field
Limit length to visible area: checked (so that it accepts upto 9 digits)
display pattern: zzz9
data pattern: zzz9
data format: Integer
When I type "123456789" in the field, adobe reader version 7 and 9 are adding commas to the number and are displaying it as "123,456,789" while adobe reader 8 displays it the way i want "123456789"
Appreciate if someone can quickly provide some guidance here.

The issue is that the pattern that you are applying from the field cannot be applied to your input so the default pattern for numeric fields is being applied (hence the 123,456,789). If you make sure that your numeric field is set for integer (Binding tab/Data Format). Then set the display pattern to num{zzzzzzzz9}. It will work.
The default pattern is held in the XDP template. It is created based on your locale. If you click on the XML Source tab (between Preview and Master Pages - if it is not visible then you can make it visible on the View/XML Source menu)then do a serach ctrl-F for numberPattern you will see where it is defined in the template. If you modify this one then it will only be applied for this form. Any new forms will revert back to the old pattern.

Display pattern not working - add $ for a numeric/decimal field

I've designed a form which has fields where I need to display currency(US) values.
I've made the fields as numeric type. I've added the display pattern as num.currency{} and also tried with num{($z,zzz,zzz9.99)}. But nothing seems to be working.
The amount value passed in the xml input is 7,002.978.
The result that I'm getting now is $0.00
When I changed the field to decimal type and added the same display pattern as above, the result that I get is BLANK: $
I need to format it such a way that it displays $7,002.99 in the form. There's no limit for the leading digits and the digits after decimal point should be 2. Is there a way to get this by changing the "PATTERNS" properties?
Please let me know how I can get the pattern right.
I'm using LC Designer ES2.

Hi,
By default it is not going to like the comma in your xml input, so you will need to change the data pattern. Try using num{z,zz9.999}, which works for your example value. With the comma it will treat the value as text and just display what it gets.
If your display pattern is num.currency{} then you will get two decimal places, but that makes the value $7.002,98. I'm not sure how you get $7.002,99 ... is that just a type-o?

Display pattern for DateTimeField ignored when setting value from script

Hello,
I have a DateTimeField with Data pattern date{DD.MM.YYYY} and Display pattern date{MMMM}, so it displays its default value "21.05.2011" as "May". Now I'm setting its value from the other field's initialize event:
if (this.rawValue) {
data.Subform_Footer2.DateTimeField1.rawValue = this.rawValue.match(/\d+\.\d+\.\d+/)[0];
Assuming this.rawValue contains text "21.04.2011", the DateTimeField displays "21.04.2011" in preview instead of "April" as specified in Display pattern.

Hi,
To me it looks like you are passing a string to the date field, rather than a date.
Instead of trying to abstract the month manually in the script, why not pass the whole date through "21.04.2011" and leave the display pattern display the month.

How can I prevent the url display from sometimes being overwritten by button icons?

The address in the url bar is sometimes overwritten by a line of button icons, which can overlap onto buttons beside the url display.
Please see a typical display here:
http://preview.tinyurl.com/k3ayssw
This, I am happy to say, does not happen with every website I visit, but it happens often enough to be a real nuisance.
Here is a list of *some* of the webpages where I have encountered this phenomenon:

Sure hope that there is an easy solution. I reverted to the Classic Display to work around it, only to find that it didn't solve the problem.

Hello,
That is not normal behaviour and is caused by one of your add-ons. Just to be sure, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings, disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click Help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Restart with Add-ons Disabled''.
If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
* On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
When the Firefox Safe Mode window appears, select "Start in Safe Mode".<br>
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
Since it will be a hassle to find out which one of your many extensions is the culprit, follow the note in this section of the article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems#w_test-for-faulty-extensions

Yes, but you should search the forum as well as the Wiki. URL attachment via object services has been discussed many times with example code posted.
