User-entered field treated as read-only

I created a large form in version 7. I brought it into version 8 to work on it some more. I believe this may be related to going from 7 to 8...
I have lots of numeric fields in rows and columns. All the fields are User Entered - Optional. When I view it in Preview, one field in the middle will not allow entry. It's as if the field were Read Only. I go back to Design mode and the field is still listed as User Entered. This occurs on a few pages.
Anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions?

My office uses Times New Roman as a standard font for all our forms, I dragged several of the most used standard objects into a blank form, altered them to fit our standards and then dragged them back into the standard tab. Much easier than going through the process each and every time you need to pull a field in, fyi. You can also put a script into a field and put it into either the custom tab or create your own tab for personal objects, I find this saves me huge time by not having to re-type scripts over and over.

Field Validation on Read Only Field

I'm trying to create a pop up error box if a field contains null values. The problem is that the field I'm trying to do the validation on is a read-only field. It's the Account field on the Contact Object or Module. It won't allow me to include validation. The goal here is to have a POP UP ERROR box come up if someone does not select a value for that field. Making it required doesn't generate a popup box, it only has a small "required" text next to the field which can be easily missed by a user. Any ideas?

Hi !
I found the way to do what you wan't, but it sounds a bit strange for me...
You have to put a field validation on the Account Id field. I made some tests to know what is in the AccountId field when it's blank and i see that the value is "No Match Row Id" !!
So your validation rule must be simply
*<> "No Match Row Id"*
It worked for me, the error message appears... But I think this is something we have to report to Oracle...
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

Building up dymanic SQL statement from user entered fields on a jsp

Hi guys.
I'm building up a sql statement from a bunch of input fields that the users can type in on a .jsp page. No real problem there, but I get a problem when they type in words with ' character in it Eg: Don't, I'll etc.
This confuses the java code totally and usually results in a spectacular crash of the system.
Any ideas/thought/wild speculations would be most appreciated.

Even in pure read-only databases SQL injection can be a problem, as the user might be able to read data he should not be able to see.
You can also create dynamically created sql statements using PreparedStatements, that's not a problem, I'm doing it pretty often myself.
List<Object> arguments = new ArrayList<Object>();
StringBuilder sql = new StringBuilder("SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE");
if (someCondition) {
sql.append(" foobar = ? ");
arguments.add(someValue);
if (someOtherCondition) {
sql.append(" AND barfoo = ?");
arguments.add(someOtherValue);
// later on use setObject() to fill in the parametersObviously you'll have to handle putting the correct ANDs and ORs there, but you probably has solved that already, as it isn't any different if you don't use a PreparedStatement.

Fields appear as "Read Only" in an Int.Form called from a WD

Hi Experts!
I am having a doubt in an Adobe Int.Form, that is called from a WD application.
The fields that are in my Form, always appear as a "read only". It is not possible to modify anything there.
Here, I describe the steps that I follow.
I create a very simple WD application. In its WD View, exist an unique Object (Adobe Interactive Form).
In that object, I set the properties:
"Data source": a context variable type "my structure". "My structure", is a simple structure with a couple or three fields, let´s say PERNR, BUKRS, WERKS... It is linked to the Form Interface (ABAP DICTIONARY-BASED INTERFACE). So in this way, the link between my WD and the AdobeInt.Form is working.
"PDF Source": a context variable type XSTRING.
"Template Source": here I have set my Int.Form. Currently, it only contains a couple of fields
"Enabled": True.
"Read Only": False.
In the AdobeForm, I have drag & droped those 2 or 3 fields, save it, and activate it. I guess nothing more is needed, for my test.
And at last, in the View´s method WDDOINIT, I am reading one of those fields, let´s say the employee number (PERNR), and I set by hardcoding its number (let´s say -> 00000001).
Until here, everything seems to work fine. When I launch the WD test, the Adobeform appears, at the moment, with only one of my fields (Employee - PERNR), and its value is filled in with '00000001'.
But now, I would like to write something by myself. And when I try to do it, it is not possible! Field PERNR, is displayed as a "READ ONLY".
Someone knows what is happening here? I guess it should be possible, to activate as a "EDITABLE" that field in my Form.
So here is my doubt.
Am I doing anything wrong? Or am I doing any mistake?
Thank you very much in advance!

Finally I think I have found the problem.
In the View where I am printing the ADOBEFORM, it is needed this code under the method WDDOMODIFYVIEW.
method WDDOMODIFYVIEW .
DATA: LV_INTERACTIVE_FORM   TYPE REF TO CL_WD_INTERACTIVE_FORM,
             LV_METHOD_HANDLER     TYPE REF TO IF_WD_IACTIVE_FORM_METHOD_HNDL.

Render button ok but fields displayed as read-only(solved)

Dear JHeadstart,
I'm trying to solve the next situation.
I'm Using a form with 'Same Page?' checked.
I'm rendering an add-button: when a row is not found I display the add button and when a row is found, the add button is not displayed.
This works well with the EL expression: #{bindings.<viewobject>InputDate.inputValue eq null} in the 'Insert allowed EL expression'. For if now row is found this field is null.
But when I press the add button I only get readonly fields where I'm hoping for inputfields to fill so I can insert a new row in the table.
In the jspx file I find, the EL expression I used, back for every field in the form.
The form is based on a VO based on 2 entity objects. One is always updateble (here I want to have the inputfields) and one is read-only.
I've also tried the EL: #{!((bindings.<viewobject>Iterator.currentRowIndexInRange!=-1 and bindings.<viewobject>Iterator.findMode!='true'))} which is used to render the value="#{nls['NO_ROWS_FOUND']}" in de jspx file.
but with the same results.
So what can I do to make those fields insertable?
Help will be appreciated!
regards,
Marcel.
After some more googling I found:
http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/html/B25947_01/bcvoeo009.htm#BABJEEFA
Section 7.9.3 got me on track.
In my create() the InputDate field was filled (sic).
When I used another field in the EL, it worked.

Can users without Publisher 2010 view (read only) Publisher pieces in a SharePoint 2010 library?

I'm (very) new to SharePoint 2010 and fumbling my way through it with a certain amount of success. We have a variety of Publisher 2010 items I wanted to be made available in a library. Not all of the users in the group have Publisher, so I converted them
all to PDF...which doesn't seem to work with SharePoint 2010. So my question is...if a member of the group does not have Publisher 2010, will he or she be able to view these same items if I post them as read only in Publisher? OR, even better, is there
a workaround for PDFs? Thanks so much! --SMGKatz

EDITING original response to Mike Smith below.
Updated here:
At Mike's suggestion, I tried the XPS/XML route and we have a WINNER!!! Multiple problems solved.
Thanks, Mike!
This is helpful and leads me to a second question... we all have either Adobe Acrobat X Standard or at least Acrobat Reader, but the PDFs were giving us trouble. When you mention "a PDF viewer" were you referring to Acrobat Reader or is there some
sort of plug-in that plays with SharePoint?
The only way to convert them to Word would be to save the Publisher pieces as images and drop them into Word, which I can do. I had hoped to post items in the library that users could download to use and the PDF is much more versatile than a Word document
for this purpose. I haven't yet tested the quality/resolution of the PDF vs Word w/ an image dropped in, so I don't know if this would be an issue, as well.
We've always gone the PDF route. Maybe I'll explore XPS options and see how that works out for me. I have to be honest, I never knew what XPS was until you mentioned it and I looked it up. So thank you for that, as well! That may end up being my solution!

XML form field should be read only.

Hi All,
Can we have a field in a XML form which is read only and the number in field should be incremented every time a new form is created.
Is this possible.If yes can someone please guide me how.
Thanks,
Nikhil Pai

Hi Nikhil,
Do u want this property to come in the Edit form also, or only on the show form?
If its only on show form,
1. Keep a text file in KM with a starting number say 1000.
2. While creating the XML form, a KM Service listening to resource creation only in the folders,
will update a property and also edit the text file and replace the number by 1001.
So in the show form u will have a unique number for each XML form.
Regards

How to customize the XML file name from user entered field value when submitting

How can I customize the name of an HTTP submitted XML file from data entered by the user in a text field?
The field in question contains user identification information and would ease the sorting of files received for easy identification.

Manage Public Share User Access - At least a Read-Only option

Hi WD!I just bought a WD My Cloud 3TB and the first thing I wanted to do was to restrict access to the PUBLIC share so that not anymone can manage everything its own way. I've been across a lot of posts around the WD forums and other sites on the web and I found out I'm not the only person having the same "problem" as me. I know it is possible to tweak the box using the SSH access (BTW, thanks for opening up this access!) and modify the rights from behind, but with a sharp and clear GUI like what I seen, I cannot think this option is not present. I don't understand why (I'm no Linux pro here!) the "public access" switch in the GUI is not replace by a user name "public" that I would be able to give read or RW access to this specific share (and all the other share I would also create!). In fact, this should behave more like the "everyone" user in Windows on which I can set the access I want. If this is a by design need for other features, why these so-called features cannot simply use a different credential to access the Public share? Well, all in all, I want a way to manage the "everyone" access on the public share (and also the other custom shares). Everyone else than WD people, please kudos (star on the left) this post so maybe WD will hear us all... Thanks in advance! --David

Hi user78995,
We do the executeQuery() after the commit in the taskflow, we see the logging saying that the query has been executed and show the correct number of rows being returned.
So, I believe we are oke with the rows in bc, it is now only the refresh of the component in JSF.
I can not do the partialtrigger programmatically, since (in the afterlistener) I do not have access to the bindingcontainer.
Any other way to perform this partialtrigger, please let me know.
Thank you in advance.

Beginner User: Locking (making read only after data entry) a single field after selecting date

Hello, I am a beginner user trying to create a form using Adobe Livecycle. One of the fields I would like to make read only/protect it/password protect it after a user selects the date. For example, I select August 17, 2010 as the date. After I select it, I would like that field to be read only or protected so that another user can not edit it.
I am a complete novice using XML or codes. I'm learning alot from these boards though. I know its probably simple.
Any help is appreciated.

The attached locks a text field if the date chosen is "08-17-2010". If it is not the text field is accessible.
// form1.page1.date::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.rawValue == "2010-08-17") {
form1.page1.tf.access = "protected";
else {
form1.page1.tf.access = "";

Read only fields in Goods Receipt for account assignment

Hi,
I am trying to change some of the fields attributes to READ-ONLY under the 'account assignment' tab/category when user try to create Goods Receipt and go in detail to see the account assignment. currently user has an option to change it. is it possible to change the attribute through config(SPRO)?
I have created a screen variant using(TA SHD0) but not sure what to do next. Can anyone point me in the right direction regarding this issue.
Regards,
Waqar

Hy,
You cannot use the Variants for all the screens in the EBP.
The only screens where it is available are:
Screen Variants:
Item data overview in an invoice without purchase order reference: BBP_IV_NON_PO
Item data overview in the invoice with purchase order reference: BBP_IV
Item data overview in the confirmation: BBP_CF
Item data overview in the confirmation for time recording: BBP_CF_TIMEREC
Item data overview in the purchase order: BBP_PO;
Item data overview for contracts: BBP_CTR_ITEMLIST
Item data overview for selection of contracts: BBP_CTR_ITEM_SELLIST
Search results for entering an invoice and/or confirmation: BBP_SEARCH_PO
Search results for entering a purchase order: BBP_SEARCH_SC
Search results for displaying/processing an invoice: BBP_CHANGE_IV
Search results for displaying/processing a confirmation: BBP_CHANGE_CF
Search results for entering/displaying/processing/status of a shopping cart: BBP_SC;
Worklist for Sourcing: BBP_SOCO_WL
Work area in Sourcing: BBP_SOCO_GA
For changes on the Acc.Assignement screens, you'll have to either change the templates (be carful, templates related to acct. assgnt. are duplicated for each transaction) or the ABAP screens.

F4 / Value Help on a Read-Only Field in a WD app

Hi friends,
I am struggling to put up a F4 help on an input field which has been set up as read-only. The idea is to have the field as read-only, and allow the user to select any value from the predefined values using F4/value help.
Now, I get the F4 help working if the field is NOT in a read only mode, However, the moment I set it to READ ONLY , the F4 help vanishes.
Is there a way to have the F4 help associated with the field even when the field is a read-only ?
Thanks.

Great Solution ! This works.
However, there is a small problem with the usage of browsers. If you use Mozilaa/ Chrome, then even the 1 px width of dummy field show up. However with IE the 1 px does now not show up, so the F4 help comes up right next to the original field. But that is not something significant !

Make a read-only text field open by using button and javascript

Hello
I have a form with text fields that I will pre-populate with data. The text fields will be read-only by default. I want to make it so that when a user wants to make edits, he will need to click on a button and in turn, the text field's background will turn gray and he can make edits to the text field. I can already make the background turn gray but I cannot make the text field open.
This is the code that will run after the button is clicked:
color.ltGray = new Array("G", 0.75);
this.getField('TestField').fillColor = color.ltGray;
this.getField('TestField').access = "open";
The text field's background turns gray but it is still read-only. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Read only field in data manager

Hi,
if we set a field permission as read only in console.
in data manager this field will be read only.
in import manager during process of import will this field be receiving value or it will be read only
Sonali

Hello,
I tested (MDM 5.5 sp6) and if you import data, and for a read-only fied mapped, data can be created and updated ( import done with same role/user than the one with read/only rules)
I haven't see this behaviour on documentation, but don't look as a trouble for me.
If this role/user try to update from the data manager, it is not possible to update a read-only fied
Hope helps you
