Xml Form Builder HTML Editor

Hi All,
In my xml form builder application, i have to insert an image inside the UI "HTML Editor". But there is no option called as "insert image from km" into the HTML Editor? How can i have that option called "Insert Image From KM" ?
I tried "configuration of the HTML editor" in
Knowledge Management  Content Management  Utilities  Editing  HTML Editing.
I enabled the option "Allow Images". Then too it is not reflecting in HTML Editor UI.
What else can be done for getting that property on HTML Editor UI?
Thanx and Regards,
Divya

Hi,
My understanding is that the standard HTML editor control from SAP is quite limited. You can copy and paste an image into it (but the image has to already be in KM) - it has no nice control for selecting or positioning the image....
Some options:
1. There are options like TinyMCE which I belive can be used in place of the standard HTML editor control.
2. If the structure of the content on you page is fixed then you could add images into the form as images that the user would provide links for - but this is not as free form as you would maybe like.
Hope this helps,
Simon

hi Yasir
The project you created appear in the KM folder ( /etc/xmlforms)or the folder based on your settings. You can open the form you created in the km and can check whether the link command is there in the file.You can edit it directly from here to correct the error.

Issue with HTML Editor of XML Form Builder.??

Hi All,
We are using HTML Editor of XML Form Builder to enter the Content. This content will be displayed to teh User by parsing these XML Files generated by the XML Form Builder Application.
But, when we parse the XML, the other field values are coming properly, except HTML Editor field Content.
This is working fine, only when I enter a Single line Text. If I enter some Spaces, New lines, Paragraphs, etc. the XML Parsing is not returning any Content..
And also when I use Text Area, the total content is returning as a Single Paragraph, Even if I enter multiple lines, spaces,.
If anyone has Idea on this, Please Help me to solve this Issue ASAP.
Thanks&Regards||
Ashok Kumar M.

Hi Bala,
It is already mapped correctly. If I enter a single line Text in HTML Editor, I am getting the same Text after Parsing. But If I enter multiple lines, spaces, new lines, etc., then the Problem.

Issue in Preview through XML forms having TinyMCE editor

Hello Experts,
I have one issue in our client portal, which is really giving me hard time to resolve.
So I have come to you experts for helping me to resolve this issue.
So below are the details of the issue.
Actually it goes like that, we are using B.Texx Framework in our Client Portal Environment and most of the work is done by the users in the portal, who has author rights. Please note that Authors have the right to Edit and save the content.
Most of the things are made on XML forms, with the help of Java Scripts.
Now there is one XML form(Add General Content), through which users add the general contents and there is one template provided to the user for that content. The XML forms are integrated here with the Tiny MCE editor.
Now, there is one link (Insert/edit link) in the Tiny MCE editor, when we write some text in the body and select the text, the link in the editor gets activated and when we click on the link, a pop up comes up, in which there is a browse button, through which we select the Navigation Element Link , which takes us in the navigation of the portal content(the way it is viewed by user in the portal according to the roles ), showing us different content and we select an content and press finished. Now the selected text becomes as a link in the body of xml form, then we fill up the title and there is one preview button. When we click on the preview button, the link is displayed to us.But when we click on that link nothing happens.
Please note that if we save that form, the links appears on portal and we are able to navigate through the link.
For this I have checked the js file(xmlformpreview_redirect.js) responsible.I am sharing the code of the js file below.
// author llaegner
// Get current URL of XML Forms Preview
// This Javascript should be included in the ShowForm Formular (old XSL Style)
// in xml forms builder in a label-field in the attribute caption
// this javascript file is then called by the Preview Button on an Edit Form, because the ShowForm is launched automatically always
// changes by ekaraca
// Add a if-Control so a redirect will work by clicking the xml file as well
var currentURL=top.location.href;
var redirectURL="";
var startOfParameters=currentURL.indexOf("?");
if (startOfParameters < 0) startOfParameters=currentURL.indexOf("%3F");
if (startOfParameters > 0) {
 // Provide all parameters for SAP original preview iview to our new iview
 redirectURL="/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.btexx.pct.easyWCM.customer.addons.xmlformpreview"+currentURL.substring(startOfParameters);
if(currentURL.substring(currentURL.length-4)==".xml") {
 var xmluri = currentURL.substring(currentURL.indexOf("/irj")+15, currentURL.length); /* /irj/go/km/docs <---- 15 letters */
 redirectURL="/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.btexx.pct.easyWCM.customer.addons.xmlformpreview?show/test="+xmluri;
 top.location.href=redirectURL;
else {
 // If we have found something to redirect
 if (redirectURL.length > 1) {
 // Change current location and switch immediately to new iview
 top.location.href=redirectURL;
I would really appreciate if any of you experts help me resolve this issue.
So I am eagerly waiting for the response from all of you experts present here.

guys i m still waiting for some expert comments here...plz help me out.

Hi, Kris@EP.
Recommended JRE on client side for XML Forms Builder is 1.4.* or 1.5.*
Be sure that you got JRE version is lower than 1.6
If you have JRE 1.6.* implement [SAP Note 1341069|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes/sdn_oss_ep_km/~form/handler%7B5f4150503d3030323030363832353030303030303031393732265f4556454e543d444953504c4159265f4e4e554d3d31333431303639%7D]

Hello,
Immediately after opening the XML forms editor from the Content Manager page, you will get a link Start Environment Check Tool.... Click on that and proceed for a check. It will take some 5-10 mins based on your connection speed.If every thing is successful, clear the browser cache and restart the browser and open forms editor again. It will open the data schema and properties filed and project browser and all.
I was having this problem just now and i resolved it with the above steps.
My JRE version is 1.6 and portal is EP 7 SPS 21 patched.

Hi Lorcan.
So what exactly happens when you try to start XML Forms builder, do you get an actual error or does it just not start at all?
> Actually the News are not getting displayed . The HTML (Html tages)are not getting rendered properly in XML Form Builder.
This news are perfectly working in other environment (Dev/Qlty) but not in Production .. where i am facing the issue of rendering the news ( not in correct format as expected)
It is appearing as link. where as in my other environment the Text in proper HTML format.
(Link of News appearing in production) whereas in Dev/Qlty proper text with Heading/Font/Colour appears. Or are you only seeing errors when you run the environment check?
> I am getting the errors when running the environment check on in Production but not in Development/Quality.
Did you try it on different clients or with different users? Is this a new installation or have you recently upgraded? Are all your components on the same SP level?
> This is new installation but SP level are exactly same across the system(Dev/Qlty/Prod).
Also the check the settings and found proper..
Root Directory * /usr/sap/<System-ID>/SYS/global/config/cm/etc*
Please let me know am I missing something..
Why its not running on my production system.

I am getting an error message that says something about the "Access is denied:com.sap.portal.system/applications/com.sap.km.cm/components/xfbuilder - security zone:medium_safety/Com.sap.km.cm"
I have tried out several ways, then the recommendation, of implementing to get this application to be loaded, but unfortunately - this does not work.
Have anyone else reach some problem regarding this issue??

Hi Shanmukha,
Login to the portal with administrator rights.
Replace the url with
http://host:portnumber/irj/go/km/docs/etc/xmlforms/xfcheck/xfbuildertest.html
You can access the XML form builder environment check.
Run the application and see if you miss something.
Good Luck!

XML Forms Builder - problem with checkbox

Hi,
I have created many checkboxes in XML Forms Builder and if I want to create a new document based on this "Form" I have still checked one of checkboxes. I would like to have all empty checkboxes becasue user should check the appropriate checkboxes.
Do you know how to resolve this problem?
Thaks for help!
Regards,
Andrzej Tabara

Hi,
is it always the same checkbox that is already filled in? Is this ckeckbox based on a metadata-definition?
If yes: You could maybe have a look at the metadata-definition. Is there maybe a default-value defined?
