Web form renderer

Hi,
I'm quite new to weblogic portal/web programming environment but i'm trying to make a web app which flow like this:
1. display user login
2. display list of "approval waiting" document from database
3. display form to edit the document and finally save
things that i confuse are:
- how to make the user login simple or easy to create?
- the form that i need to display is somehow need to be generated from a custom template from .xml file. how do i do that?
example of the template that i need to render is like this:
<field>
                    <name>Transaction 36</name>
                    <type>Section</type>
                    <showsectionheader>true</showsectionheader>
                    <collapsible>true</collapsible>
                    <sectionheader><![CDATA[Exchange Rate (36)]]></sectionheader>
                    <indentsubfields>0</indentsubfields>
                    <labelstyle>SwiftFieldStyle</labelstyle>
                    <customsectionlayout>false</customsectionlayout>
                    <minoccurs>0</minoccurs>
                    <maxoccurs>1</maxoccurs>
                    <fields>
                         <field>
                              <name>Rate</name>
                              <type>Double</type>
                              <label><![CDATA[Rate]]></label>
                              <visible>true</visible>
                              <enabled>true</enabled>
                              <notnull>false</notnull>
                              <labelposition>0</labelposition>
                              <rowspan>1</rowspan>
                              <columnspan>1</columnspan>
                              <newrow>false</newrow>
                              <renderer type="TextField">
                                   <width>12</width>
                              </renderer>
                         </field>
                    </fields>
               </field>
Thanks a lot for your help.:-)

Hi looks like 1.2_04-b19-p03 is built in to WS 7.0
I am not getting anywhere - we may be forced to back out our plans to use WS instead of AS - which is a shame.
Sun Support haven't had any luck with this either.
I swear this looks like a classloader issue. But the documentation reads as if the libraries in WEB-INF/lib take precedence over the main container. I am not sure where else to turn.

Web Form - takes extra time to render scroll-bar

Hi,
11.1.2.0.83
When we open a webform that is relatively small in scale it takes ~ 4-6 seconds to come back from the 'hourglass' but then leaves the user waiting for upto a minute before the scrollbar appears at the side of the rendered web form (which appears after the initial period) and you can actually take any action.
Smartview does not have this same delay on the same form, and when I monitor server / client activity on both sides it seems to be minimal impact on cpu / memory.
We are on IE7, though some clients are IE8.
Has anyone else seen this - is it a known issue - are there any fixes?
thanks,
Robert.

Hi,
I think both Planning and Essbase are done sending the required data/metadata to client and from that point on it's up to the client to generate the form. Like you are suggesting, although you see the form with cells and numbers, it takes time to generate the scroll bars (i.e. complete the form generation). My hunch is that this could be related to a security setting or an antivirus setting that could be slowing down the java script. Essentially, it's a hefty java script that generates the form and in some cases (such as with McAfee) there are certain settings to enable scanning java scripts on web pages before running them. You can make sure by tracking the process in task manager on the client when opening the form. If this is the case, disabling this option might improve the performance.
Cheers,
Alp

Time to open Web forms too long for the first connexion !!

Hi
When we first open a web form in the day, the time to open it, is greater than 10 minuts ( the CPU time used to retrieve the webform is measured at about 20 seconds)
When we do open the webform a second time it takes about 20 seconds to open it!!
Have someone meet this case?
What do we have to change in order to enhance the openning duration of the webforms?
Thanks

Serveur IBM, OS Windows 2003 server

Edited by: RYAG on 26 avr. 2010 14:56

Does it take 10 minutes to open on the server, if it takes 10 minutes on the server and only 20 seconds of that is CPU processing then are you saying for over 9 minutes it is rendering the form in your browser, you can check the browser process on the machine.
If you do want to check or increase the maximum heap size then have a read of :- Re: Heap sizes with Planning11.1.1.3 & Weblogic help
I would also check how much memory the JVM is using when opening the form, you can check using task manager on the server or better still use something like process explorer.

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.

Some users not seeing all of a web form in Smart View Excel 11.1.2?

I am on Planning 11.1.2 and I have an end user who, when he opens a web form in Excel using Smart View, he only sees about 1/3 of the entire form. If in the Oracle/Planning web, the form is fine. When he uses my machine, he sees the entire web form in Smart View Excel. Is there a setting on his Excel I need to change?
Thanks.

It's a limitation, if you will, of the way JDeveloper works. It essentially runs your JSF page in order to get the rendering. At design time, the phase listener is obviously messing things up since you're not in a proper secured environment - hence the workaround to bypass your phase listener at design time.

Web Form Error

I'm having a promblem on our simple quick contact form
We are getting this when submitting... but before it was ok
ERROR: An error occurred while processing credit card
here's the link to our site
http://www.jdteterlaw.com/
test the rRequest Consult form
Thanks

Hi Dave Blubaugh,
To expand further on what I mentioned in my previous post; when a web form is created within the admin console, the 'Anti-bot Fraud Protection' module is now included by default. This module is not used to verify Credit Cards - what this module does is create a hidden input field (i.e. a honeypot) for that form. Therefore, if this hidden field is populated, an error will be returned. This is due to the fact that spam bots usually populate all fields as sometimes they cannot differentiate between whether a field is hidden or not - it is used as a preventive measure to reduce spam.
Now the confusion here is that the error returned is “ERROR: An error occurred while processing credit card”. This is because the feature was originally introduced for the online shop. As mentioned in my previous post, there is a bug logged where we have requested to update this error message to something more generic as this module is now used across all web forms. I suspect this update will be rolled out with our next release, however at the moment this is not something I can guarantee.
There have also been reports of this error being triggered randomly, yet this is not something we can replicate. Please note that if you use a tool to auto-populate the web form’s fields, this will populate the hidden ‘honeypot’ field causing the error to be thrown. If you do believe that the error message is being thrown incorrectly, I will need you to submit a case directly to support so we can investigate this.
I hope this clarifies things and additional information on this feature can be found in the following document: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-2882.
To answer your questions directly, yes, the 'Anti-bot Fraud Protection' module does render the {module_ccsecurity} module tag. When the form is viewed live, that module tag then renders the ‘honeypot’ field.
The module tag {module_error} itself cannot be modified. But you can modify the layout this tag resides in as well as the template assigned to this layout. Therefore, effectively you can assign a different template to this layout that does not include the breadcrumbs module. You can modify this layout via Site Manager > System Pages > General.

Web form {tag_webformresults} appearance is there a better way?

OK so the default action of BC to display webform results in an email and redirect page is a shocker to say the least. I say this in respect to when you start to include Extended CRM Database fields as part of the webform and start creating an extensive web form.
When using the WYSIWYG form builder to assemble the form all the standard form fields can be stacked and ordered as you require. When adding the CRM Form fields they automatically are jammed to the bottom of the builder and cannot be positioned amongst the general fields. Yes this can all be overcome by customising the code when inserted into a page no problem. When though the {tag_webformresults} tag is included as the email auto responder and redirect page the order and appearance of the content is exactly as it appears in the form builder which is just terrible. All the data is out of order in comparison to the customised design and as separators and headings for not exists much of the fields all look identical. Simply it does not work for complex forms.
Many clients simply do not want to use the CRM because of how strenuous, slow and poorly thought through the process is to extract data from a single form submission. The solution all to often asked for by my clients is to simply get an email with the data.
Clearly the {tag_webformresults} does not work and I need to know is there another solution that can be used to customise the look of the auto responder to create a visual structure where the data actually appears in a usable manner? I was hoping I could do it in Web Apps but the user must be logged in for it's auto responder to work. Not a solution.
Below is a sample of how poorly an extensive web form submission will look. Imagine this 3 times the size:
Is there a solution(s) to fix this issue? I have found none.

Note: this only relates to the form confirmation page, not email.
This seems like a relatively old discussion but thought I would respond in any case as I spent all day yesterday trying to find a work around for customising how the webformresults module renders and found few options. The answer is pretty simple with some Liquid magic.
Problem:
I needed a way to render the webformresults module in different ways for different forms. In particular my client had a survey that they wanted the user to be able to print once submitted.
Unfortunately the webformresults module will not render on a custom web form confirmation page (ie &PageID=/Templates/formResults.html ), it will only render on the default system layout page .
Solutions:
In the web form action add a variable (ie &template=formResults)
Create a custom template as per the name of your variable that will be used to render the form results (ie /Templates/formResults.tpl )
Edit the form confirmation template in /SystemMessages
Using the newer names parameters for the webformresults module call your variable using liquid to define the custom template to be used to render form results (ie {module_webformresults render="item" collection="formResults" template="/Templates/{{globals.get.template}}.tpl"}
On this page you can also add <pre>{{ this | json }}</pre> which will render all json data available to you, this is handy for finding the tags required for rendering form results using liquid within your custom template
You can test the form at this stage (note that the template is still blank so you will only see the rendered json data on the form result page as per <pre>{{ this | json }}</pre>
Once you submit the form, you will see the available json data rendered on the form confirmation page. Notice the 'globals' at the top will show the variable you named for your template ("template": "formResults")
Sample:
"moduleName": "",
"globals": {
"get": {
"WebFormID": "87704",
"OID": "13922877",
"OTYPE": "1",
"EID": "0",
"CID": "0",
"template": "formResults"
At the end of the the json data rendered on the page you will see your form results data:
Example:
"results": {
"firstName": "Test",
"lastName": "Test",
"email": "[email protected]",
"caseId": 1391888,
"Where did you find out about us?": ""
"params": {
"render": "item",
"collection": "formResults",
"template": "/Templates/checklistResults.tpl"
The final step is to simply use liquid within your custom template (ie /Templates/formResults.tpl ) to display the form data in any way you like
Example:
<ul>
<li>First Name: {{results.firstName}}</li>
<li>Last Name: {{results.lastName}}</li>
<li>Email: {{results.email}}</li>
</ul>
Note: its important to note that you have changed the default system page form confirmations so you would need to follow this method by ensuring you define a template for all web forms that land on this page.
Hope this helps. Feel free to contact me if you have any trouble or need any further explanation.

Is it possible to see who has saved progress on a web form, but not submitted?

We are using FormsCentral for our application process, and we are allowing applicants to save forms. Is it possible to see who has started a web form, and saved it, but hasn't submitted yet? Maybe by cc'ing the email notificiation they get to an admin?
We'd like to see who is working on the applications, and also to send them a reminder that they need to complete and submit the form by the deadline.

Hi;
No, there isn't a way for you to see anything about who has saved progress.
Thanks,
Josh

How do I use the vector web forms??

I'm new to using vector graphics and need to know how to go about using these web forms using Illistrator to make it functional on a web site. I tried opening it with the Illustrator, Fireworks, but not sure how to get the white fields to actually work like a text field. Hotpot will only link to another page which I don't want. I want the user to be able to enter their email address or whatever info is required then be able to submit. Please help!

That graphic is for making a wireframe/design. It cannot offer any real form functionality.
To create a form with that appearance, you will need to wrestle with HTML, CSS, and your choice of scripting languages to process the input.

How do I create a dependant drop down in a web form?

I am trying to add a web form to a web page that includes a dependant drop down menu. For example, I'd like there to be a drop down menu called "Interested Class" with three fields: "Tribe Fit", "Tribe Life" and "Tribe Core". When a user selects one of these fields ("Tribe Fit" for example), I want a new drop down menu to appear with the following choices: "7:00am", "12:30pm", "7:00pm".
I have attempted this here and as you can see it's not working at the moment. The time drop down fields should be hidden until an "Interested Class" has been selected.

I've placed my JS code in the HTML view of the actual web page as I noticed when I place it in the actual custom form it doesn't carry through to the page. I don't know if I'm placing my JS in the correct place though.
Here is a snippet of my code if it helps:

</script>
        </form>
Can anyone please help explain to me how I can make this work? I am only a JS beginner - so please try to explain in simple terms if possible.
Thank you!

This wont work, Needs to be a lot more then this and CSS to hide things rather then script hiding them.
Nicole, The times that are availible I gather differ depending on the type of the dropdown?
You do not need multiple time dropdowns.
Steps you need to do first on the form:
1. Ensure the custom form field dropdown for interested class exists.
2. Have custom dropdown with all the times that any of them can be. This is CSS hidden by default.
3. Also CSS hide all the options in the select as well in your CSS.
Next can you show what classes have what times as an example then can put the code more relevent to your example you can work off.
The code will follow along the lines of....
Dropdown On Change
          If selected options is xxx class then
          fade in option times dropdown
          Show these otpion times
        if selected option is zzz class then
          fade in option times dropdown
               show these times
More control as you need to work properly, only two dropdowns needed.

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!

I have imported a PDF form (created in adobe acrobat XI pro) into FormsCentral. I now want to convert this document into a web form so I can embed it into my website. HOW DO I DO THIS?

I took a word document I had created and added fields to it in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I then imported the PDF in Forms Central and now I am stuck. All I am able to do with it in FormsCentral is add a submit button. It will not allow me to edit the document in FormsCentral. What I ultimately need to do is get this converted to a web form so that I can embed it into our company website. Additionally, once it's converted, I need to add an option for the user to attach their resume with the file before submitting. I have looked all over the web and I cannot find an answer as to whether or not I can convert PDFs to web forms in FormsCentral. This will ultimately determine whether or not the company decides to purchase these programs after the trial version has ended in a few days.

I tried that first, but FormsCentral does not have the capability to create tables. The form I need to create is more advanced than what FormsCentral allows. Do you know if there is a way to create or somehow import a table when creating a web based form on FormsCentral?
