User entry form with submit facility

Hi,
I want to create and user entry form, which users can fill there information and submit it. The information i want to insert in table in oracle db and not in webcenter site db.
I am looking in developer guide on page 217 with topic "Code entry form", there they have created a form and inserted data in Employee_info table. I think they have created table somewhere in catalogManager.
Please can anyone tell me, how i can directly connect to my oracle db and proceed with form submit?
Can i create jsp and java file , in the same way we create in our normal application?
Please help.
Thanks

Hi,
You can use most Java code inside a jsp-type CSElement to save the form data in a way that you're familiar with. I'd suggest doing one of the following:
a) Create a separate connection pool on the WebCenter Sites appserver for the oracle database, and use your own code to access this connection pool and store data in the table
or
b) post the form to your "normal application" and have that process the form and store the data, assuming that's where you'll be using the data.
You could also create a non-managed jsp inside the WebCenter Sites appserver, but this could be hard to maintain.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Stephan.

I was online earlier this week and liked the forms with submit buttons and the Adobe site directed me to upgrade to Adobe PRO XI in order to use forms so I bought five licenses. Just had it installed today and it is now asking me to sign up for forms Central in order to use this feature. What gives? The Adobe site gave me the impression that I would have this feature after purchasing the new upgrade. I would not have purchased the upgrade, let alone five of them had I know this. Am I missing something?

Acrobat XI comes with the Fromscentral AIR application and the ability to create PDF forms authored in Formscentral. To have more than the free (1 form with 50 responses) level account you need to sign up for a Formscentral subscription.

Data entry form to submit to a web Service using webcenter

Currently using Jdev 11.1.1.3, but have potential to upgrade to 11.1.1.4 or 5
Most examples I see in the docs is using web services in webcenter is to display data but I need to pass data to a web service to process the data.
Considering ways to show on a webcenter page a data entry form to send the entered data to a web service. Potential ways:
1. Use Omniportlet that is based on a web service and define for each of the fields a parameter mapped to a displayed field. Submit the data to the web service to be processed.
2. Use ADF syntax to create a web service proxy. Create a form with the needed fields, code a managed bean that uses the proxy code to submit the entered data in the form. Place the form on the webCenter page, but the webcenter already have a <af:form>, so a partialSubmit and autoSubmit set to "true" might be needed.
Haven't used either and would greatly appreciate ideas and suggestions.
Thanks

With the omniportlet, you'll also have to test the form and so on :)
My suggestion is indead an extra step but it is more flexible than just creation a DC from a WSDL. I already have done some implementation in Webcenter for web services and i started by just using the DC from a WSDL but soon i noticed that i needed more flexibility. That's why i suggest to create a proxy and create your own layer in front of it. This way you can easily control what you expose to your DC and do some initializations were needed. It offers a great deal of flexibility. That's why i suggest using the proxy + dc instead of wsdl + dc.
When you should decide for migrating to Webcenter PS3, you can even expose datacontrols to your resource catalog. This way you can create your DC in JDeveloper and allow the business users to put the data controls on the page. a realy nice feature.

Form with Submit Button

I recently purchased the acrobat professional 8 and tried to create forms that people can fill in and submit it to us. I tried email button but for some reason never get the email for the data. I thought about http button, but it need some scripting skill. I have some knowledge in ASP script but never create any script for form submission before. Can anyone show me some sample of how to create the script or point me to the right direction that I could have the submit button feature?
Also, I seem some forms that can allow reader users to save the data that they type in the form onto their computer, do anyone know how to create a form with this feature?
Thanks

Use a regular button and change it's control type to submit. Under the Submit tab type in "mailto:youremailaddress". You can then either choose the Submit As for XML, which will send you the data that you can then import into the form or choose Submit As for PDF and you'll get the entire document.
Also, open the form in Acrobat, go to Advanced > Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader. This will solve your problem.
*one thing to note, if you ever make changes to your form be sure to do the Enable Usage Rights in Adobe Reader step again.

Build multi-product contest entry form with payment

I have a client that wants to build a contest entry form that allows the user to enter multiple products with details and totals the amount for payment in one form. Each product that will be entered into the contest will have the same price of $60.
First of all, is this possible without setting up products in the eCommerce module?
My idea was to have the users go through a multi-step form to enter the contest. EX: Step 1. Contact Information | Step 2. Company Details | Step 3. Product registration | Step 4. Payment | Step 5. Confirmation/Packing Slip.
Step 3. Product registration - I was hoping the user can click a button for each item which will give him the option to enter a product and detail information for the submission. If he wanted to enter more than one product, he could click an "add more" button to generate another entry area for submission.
Step 4. Payment - The user will be given the total amount to pay depending on how many products he has submitted into the contest.
If anyone has a suggestion or idea on how to implement this type of entry form, I would love to hear your comments.
Thank You

Mario, IF he uses the eCommerce you can not change the amount field on the registration buy form.
If he goes with a seamless payment gateway and a custom form for this and web apps he can go to town with your suggestions and more

Need to create a contest entry form with a survey

I have a client that would like me to create contest entry from with a survey, I know that I can easliy do this using the Web Form builder and have the data captured into the database, the prolem that I have is that my client only wants the customer to be able to enter the contest once. Is there a way to set this up using a Web Apps or other code so that if a person with the email address tries to enter more than once they get a message that says that they already entered?
Any help would be greatly appriciated.
Thanks,
Barry

Hi Barry,
Here's a posible solution...
1- Extend the CRM Database with a unique ID field
2- Add this 'hidden' CRM field to the sign up form so every member has an automatically generated unique ID ( see http://forums.adobe.com/message/4520873#4520873 )
3- Create an appropriate web app field and pre-populate it with this ID- lets call this field xyz (hide this field too)
Now, as long as the web app input form is on the web app detail view page, all you'd have to do is compare these two 'strings' i.e {module_cutomerfield,****,*******} and {tag_xyz}
see http://jsfiddle.net/Webmosphere/Wqvcj/2/
var alreadyPosted = "{module_cutomerfield,****,*******}";
if (alreadyPosted == {tag_xyz})
$('.removeMe').remove();
In this example, the element with a class 'removeMe' is removed from the DOM...what you could add under the same if statement is a function to display another element that perhaps
displays a message such as 'already replied'.
If the form is not on the web app detail view page, you could still ajax in {tag_xyz}....
I hope this helps or at the least sends you in the right direction.

User entry variable with exclude values

Hello All,
I created a user entry/ default value variable, which allows multiple single values and is optional entry. And I also got to exclude few values from this infoobject as well as have a variable. When I select and exclude my value from selsction and run the report, I get a system error and the varibale is converted to mandatory entry. The detail error message is displayed below. Any useful input will be awarded
Diagnosis
Variable &V1& is used in the query in such a way, that an optional entry is not possible.
For example, you might be using an "Exclude", or the variable might be connected using OR to additional selections for &V2& in the global filter, but is still displayed in the columns selections.
It is also not possible to use an optional parameter variable to fill an interval selection in either the from-field or the to-field.
System response
Procedure
If you are able to accept the mandatory entry, you need not do anything. Otherwise you must work with several variables in the query. You can use an optional interval variable to do this.
Procedure for System Administration

Hello ,
I did try creating a variable with the foll details:
Variable Type : User Entry / Default Value
Variable Represents : Multiple Single values
Variable entry optional
When I run the query it converts my variable to mandotary entry. but I want to have optional user entry variable.
Any help will be awarded

How do you Delete a Record using Form with submit button?

Hi,
The table REGISTRATION has two feilds, FULL_NAME and USER_GROUP. I created a form that has a drop down
of all the FULL_NAME values that allows the user to select the record that they want to delete. I got the drop down to work and
created the Delete Record behavior, I just can't get the submit button to send the form data and cause the delete to happen.
I have created other pages that update records in this way, but for some reason, I can't get delete to work.
Any Ideas?
Thank You in Advance,

The name of your form control is "select".
<select name="select">
The name of your form field in your SQL is full_name
<cfqueryparam value="#FORM.Full_Name#" cfsqltype="cf_sql_clob" maxlength="50">
You probably really want these names to match!
P.S.
Is your name field really a "clob" data type? Just how long are these names anyway.

Why are you relocating from the page index.cfm to index.cfm?

Acrobat form with submit button

Have a coldfusion app that includes an acrobat form that contains a submit button. The button submits the form to another CF page. I'm making some fixes to this app and need to change where the form submits, currently it's going to production but i need it to go to test. When I open the form in Acrobat 8 or Livecycle I don't see any script. Anyone know where to change wheer this form posts?

Not sure about LiveCycle, but here's how to do it in acrobat.
1) Right click on Form Button -> Properties -> Actions
You should see a list of actions associated with the button. something like:
- Mouse Up
Submit a Form
2) Select on "Submit a Form" and click "Edit" at the bottom of the screen
3) Edit URL in "Submit Form Selections" window.

Prompt user, when hitting with SUBMIT button

Hello folks,
I have application with student record, on 1st page user enters student's name and on 2nd page user enters students grade and their are two buttons on 3rd page saying SAVE and SUBMIT, with the hitting of both the buttons students record enterred by the user will be INSERTED into DB table.
Now I want to add a functionality saying, student_name as mandatory filled <b>only when user hits SUBMIT button</b> on 3rd page, hence user cannot submit leaving mandatory filled as empty. So I want to prompt a window on 3rd page with the student_name item where user can enter student's name and hit OK button the same prompted window which will help user to SUBMIT that particular student.
any idea how to achieve it, how to validate and prompt user, when user submits students without entering mandatory items/fields.
Thanks
Deep.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for replying, yes I'm very aware about your reply but I'm having req. so was trying to implement same into my current application.
I tried a small example into apex workspace to better understand have a look into it:-
workspace :- deepapex
username :- [email protected]
password :- walubu
application "Prompt_only_for_Submit"
I kept validation on page 3 if user doesnt enters student_name(on page 1) upto here it's working perfect than I started implementing JavaScript to open a prompt, but I want to open this prompt only when user doesnt enters student_name on page 1 and not everytime, also within this prompt I was looking how to have text_box item where user can enter student_name on page 3 where he actually forgotted to enter on page 1, so this new student_name item will go into insert process and hence this will be done, I'm away of the logic but really lacking to implement it.
So if you can help little it will be glad to you.
Thanks
Deep.

Form with Upload Facility

Hi there.
I'm looking at implementing an online form on a website, that has the abilility for the user to attach a file (will most likely be a word document or a pdf).
I have made forms before, but never with uploads.
If possible, it will email the attachment with the other form field data.
Can anyone suggest a tutorial or a script that will allow me to do this?
Many thanks in advance,
Craig

Is it possible to populate readOnly text box(es) on a FIM 2010 R2 RCDC User create form with the details of the logged in user?

Hello
I am curious if this can be done. I guess its a Person object I need to fetch, but how can I refer to it?
What would the XPath look like?
*HH

Thankyou for the response. Yes indeed those environment variables are documented, but how to use them is not.
Very Hard to use. I just wanted to show the Requester information on the User Create and Edit rcdc screens.
I could only get the UocListView control to work though, but it is sufficient, like so:
        <my:Control my:Name="CurrentUser" my:TypeName="UocListView" my:ExpandArea="true" my:Caption="Requester">
       <my:Properties>
           <my:Property my:Name="ColumnsToDisplay" my:Value="DisplayName,Email,OrganizationalUnit" />
           <my:Property my:Name="EmptyResultText" my:Value="" />
           <my:Property my:Name="PageSize" my:Value="1"/>
           <my:Property my:Name="ShowTitleBar" my:Value="true" />
           <my:Property my:Name="ShowActionBar" my:Value="false" />
           <my:Property my:Name="ShowPreview" my:Value="false" />
           <my:Property my:Name="ShowSearchControl" my:Value="false" />
           <my:Property my:Name="EnableSelection" my:Value="false" />
           <my:Property my:Name="SingleSelection" my:Value="false" />
           <my:Property my:Name="ItemClickBehavior" my:Value="Server" />
           <my:Property my:Name="ListFilter" my:Value="/Person[ObjectID='%LoginID%']" />
       </my:Properties>
       </my:Control>
This gives me a nice 3 column display of the current Requester's Name, Email and Unit.

Submitting form with Enter key

Hello,
in standard html form, when you have form with submit button, the enter key when any form element is selected submits the form.
This is very convenient for users, so I want this with UIX forms. I know it is possible (I have one form where it is working), but I can't get it working anywhere else.
This code works:
<uix:form method="post" name="newRoleForm">
<uix:inlineMessage prompt="Role name">
<uix:textInput name="newRoleName" />
<uix:spacer width="15" />
<uix:submitButton text="Create" formName="newRoleForm" />
</uix:inlineMessage>
<uix:formValue name="jboEvent" value="newRole" />
</uix:form>
When I copy this code to another page, it does not work...
Can somebody help, please?

I've studied the HTML generated by UIX and it has following bugs and misfeatures:
1. Misfeature: Submitting with Enter works ONLY if there is exactly one text field in the form (no submit button is actually needed), as Brian Stoler wrote. I don't understand reason for this.
2. Bug: UIX generates javascript function "_submitOnEnter" which is called as event handler for "onKeyPress" event. But this function is erroneously generated multiple times, once for each form in the page. Browsers (Mozilla and IE) use the latest implementation. This function is different for forms with one text field and for forms with more text field, but only the first one can do the job. As a consequence of this, Enter can submit the form only if the last form on a page has single text field (which is for example not the case of search form with single field above another form...)
Tested with UIX 2.1.7 in JDeveloper 9.0.3.3, using UIX as JSP tag library.
Workaround:
1. Use Opera browser: it submits form with enter key even if there is no submit button (this does not work for the first text field in the form, because it has "onkeypress" event handler).
2. Implement this feature by hand yourself, if you really need it (see below).
3. Use accessKey: allows to submit form with Alt+<key> combination (followed by Enter with IE).
Implementing Enter key submits with Javascript:
1. Put the following function to the header (or to javascript library):
function enter(e, frm) {
var kc;
if(window.event) kc=window.event.keyCode;
else if(e) kc=e.which;
else return true;
if(kc==13) {
submitForm(frm,1);
return false;
Function copied from UIX (C).
2. Add this event handler to each input element:
onKeyPress="return enter(event, 'formName');"
It is obvious that this is error prone, but it works with all browsers...
Will this be fixed in future versions?
Why only form with one text field can be submitted?

User entry in a query

Hi All,
I have a query wherein I want to have a user entry but do not want the query result to be affected by it.
The details of the query are such that in this query I am calculating Sales actuals by posting period (selecting constant months to make a quarter) and sales commitment by a normal characteristic Fiscal quarter.
Is it possible that I have a user entry for quarter and have that quarter (selected by the user) displayed in the query but at the same time display the entire data of the query?
Please advise.
Thanks and warm regards,
Sharmishtha

Hi Anil,
In rows I have CGL Branch (user netry/multiple values), organizational division(zdivision/user entry) and sales district. In th columns I have Previous to previous year's sales(SALDR NOTECASH restricted with fiscal year/ user entry variable with offset -2) similarly I have previous year's sales. Then I have current year's Q4 sales. For this I have restricted the same key figure with fiscal year/user entry and posting period=jan,feb,mar). This is because ZBDMIS1 does not have ZFIQUART1(fiscal quarter). Then similarly I have to calculate for all the quarters of the current year. Alongside I also have to calculate the commitments for all the quarters. For this I created a cube in which I included ZFIQUART1 (and loaded thru flat file), as customer will give data in quarter. Finally I made query on the multiprovider. Now, in the query I created a new selection for commitment of Q1 and restricted Sales Commitment Value with fiscal quarter = quarter1 and similarly for all quarters.
But the values of the Sales Commitment val is not coming at all.
Also I wanted to put quarter as user entry. (just as a display of the selected quarter in columns, we don't want it to filter the data)
Thanks and warm regards,
Sharmishtha
