XML Form - How to sort on Created -

Hello Techies,
I have made a custom XML news list with the forms builder.
I want to sort the news items by creation date.
I tried putting "/Properties/default:created" in the sort field of the showlist view. But without result.
Does anybody how to quickly sort new items by creation date and time?
Best Regards,
Defour Frederik

Indeed the sorting works both using the collection renderer or the sort in the form. Only trouble the sort does not work properly.
We use dateformat DD/MM/YYYY. I have a few items and these are sorted like this ( these are create dates )
28/06/2005 - 23/09/2004 - 23/05/2005 - 15/06/2005 - 14/06/2005
Seems to me that the sort does not see dates but numbers
28062005> 23092004> 23052005 etc....
I already opened a message but I keep this forum open.
I you have a clue, please advice.
Thanks

XML FORM - How to save read-only controls with a default value

Hello everybody,
I have a 3 xml forms, each one to create one type of news. I need to use 3 because each of this forms has their own controls. But the control which indicates the type of news (asociated with a KM Predefined Property) must be common in the 3 forms, in order to use it on searches.
The question is, how can I include in this forms a control:
- Visible for the user
- With a default value defined in the control properties (each form has a different value, corresponding with the type of news)
- Read-only mode
- The value showed in the control must be saved in the associated KM Predefined Property when the user clicks the Save button.
Anyone knows how to do this?
What control can I use?
I was thinking of trying with text boxes, but I don't find the way to make them unwritable (Read only mode).
It is posible using labels?
Thanks.
Kind regards

Hello Jose,
I know you responded with a question... I see it in the email, but I don't see it here! Very odd... but in response:
The first thing I do when I open the Edit.xsl file is do a 'find' for the name of the text field that I want to be read-only (in my test case, it's 'location'). Repeat the find until you see something like:
[code][/code]
Below there is where I put the new code. Mine looks like this:
[code]- <xsl:choose>
- <xsl:when test="location='' and ($editmode='create')">
- <xsl:choose>
- <xsl:when test="./xf:ValidationError/@tagname='location'">
- <input name="location" size="30" type="text" class="urEdfiTxtEnbl" id="field_1157467268006">
- <xsl:attribute name="tabindex">
- <xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$accessibilitymode='true'">21</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>3792</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="''" />
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="readonly">true</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:when>
- <xsl:otherwise>
- <input name="location" size="30" type="text" tabindex="3792" class="urEdfTxtEnbl" id="field_1157467268006">
- <xsl:attribute name="value">
<xsl:value-of select="''" />
</xsl:attribute>
- <xsl:attribute name="readonly">true</xsl:attribute>
</input>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>[/code]
I put the <xsl:attribute name="readonly"> in both places (when test, and when not test). I'm not entirely sure if that's necessary, but that worked for me.
Hope this helps,
Fallon

XML forms - how to assign KM folder for documents?

Hi guys!
I have created an XML forms application and iViews for authoring and display.. But one of the Iviews' property (KM navigation iView) is the name of the folder for the XML documents...
My question is - how to set, where to save the documents form XML forms application? In which KM folder?
I created the application, but in KM was no new folder for my documents.. Is it needed to set-up explicitly?
Thanx for answer!
Peter

Hi Peter
The location has to be specified if you are creating a KM Navigation iview.You can specify the location to an already existing folder. It is better to create separate folder in KM for storing the documents.
The folder path has to be specified in the "Path to Initially Displayed Folder" property of the KM Navigation iview.The default value is
Path to Initially Displayed Folder:/documents/News
In this case all the documents created is stored in the "News" folder.
The documents can also be created by using the menu options in KM. (Folder->New->Forms->your form)

Error when creating new XML-Form

Hi everybody!
We are using XML-Forms to create/edit/display FAQs out of the KM-Content. We have created our own XMLForms for that and it worked fine. After our last upgrade (NW 7.0 SP-Stack 16) we have the following problem:
clicking the "new FAQ" link in the portalruntime doesn't start the XML-Form anymore but displays an java error:

I don't have that behaviour when i try to edit an existign FAQ. But I have the same problem with any other XML-form i'm using to create KM-docs.
to me it seems that the creation-context is somehow not valid. But what does that mean? and what can I do about it?

Scrolling in xml form

Hi,
we are migrating a jsp based website to portal. There is a web page in which it has a image and a list of "short descriptions of company stories" scrolling on the right hand side. They did it by HTML, JSP and talking to database and storing those stories in database.
so when we move this to SAP Portal, i though best way would be to use XML forms, so that I can create a render list form which has image in the left and the stories on the right side. and when clicked on each story, an XML show form is called. but i dont get two things:
1. how to make the stories (short description) scrolling in the right pane in render list form.
2. how to replace the image with the actual story, when clicked on the scrolling short stories
please help.

Hi,
my problem is simular to Aditys: My Java Version is JRE 1.6.0_15. When I go to Content Managment --> Formbuilder, the XML Forms Builder starts automatically but it is not possible to open Data Schema. After downgrade to Java 1.4 I can not start the Form Builder, that means, after clicking on "Form Builder" in the Portal, a pop-up opens, but the XML Form Builder does not load.
Can you help me?

Query on XML Form Builder

Hi,
I have an news application to be developed in XML Form Builder. I am creating News Author part of it. It has an Date field where i have to do an validation like the user cannot enter date less than the current date. I can perform simple data type validation through the form builder. Can I perform the above said validation in XML form builder or is there an work around in getting this done.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Ganesh

hi,
I opened the schema of this particular application in the KM. I edited the tag for the particular application and included my restriction, so that the validation could occur. I did the same for string field in restricting the no of characters and found to be sucessful. But the same doesnt work for date field...
The tag goes like this
<element name="ExpiryDate" default="" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="date" ns="default"><simpleType><restriction base="date"><minInclusive value="01/01/2009"/></restriction></simpleType></element>
Usually you dont have this restriction.....I have added the tag in bold.....But still validation doesnt occur.....What is the format in which date is stored????
The same worked for string field as shown below. I can restrict the entry to just 5 characters depending upon the restriction, I make in the schema.....
element name="Courtesy" default="" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" type="string" ns="default"><simpleType><restriction base="string"><maxLength value="5"/></restriction></simpleType></element>
How can i apply the same to date field???
Any inputs from Consultants worked in Form Builder??
Thanks & Regards,

Nested XML Forms

Hi,
I'm using the XML Forms Builder to try to create a "How-To" iView where some content managers would be able to update information in a standard form that would be later on displayed to the users.
I'm able to do this in form of a "News" publishing, with the Edit, Show and RenderListItem forms and using the NewsExplorer and NewsBrowser iViews. However, the requirement here is that we have a kind of nested forms: each How-To item would have a series of "steps" that would be added one by one, in the same way that the original items are added.
So, in the first screen, the content manager would click on "New How-To" and would be taken to the creation of a How-To where he/she would input a title, date, author and some other information. In this screen, he/she would then be able to click on "New Step" where he/she would input one image and the text for that step, and click on Save. Then he/she would be taken back to the How-To creation screen, and would have the option to create another step or to save the How-To.
After saving the How-To, it would appear on the original list (RenderListItem form) for the user to click. When clicking on the How-To, the "Show" form would display a list of the steps for that particular How-To, in the same way the RenderListItem form does for the list of How-Tos.
Do you know if (and how) it is possible to do?
Thank you,
Daniel

Patricio,
I need to add another kind of functionality to XML forms. My client wants to make an upload of an attached file in one click.
In other words, doesn't want to need to first make the upload to KM and after make the link in the XML Form.
Can you give me any idea in order to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance
Patricio

Submit for Approval in XML Forms

Hi Experts,
    I have created a News Application using XML Form Builder. Once I create any news based on this form builder, I need to submit this news item for approval. I have configured the approval process for that particular KM Folder.
    I need submit for approval option in News Explorer/News Admin iView. How can I achieve this? Do, I need to change the layout set properties or in XML Form Builder application itself.
   Help me in this regard.
Thanks & Regards,
Art

Hi Art,
> Do I need to change the layout set properties or in XML Form Builder application itself.
You should extend the command set used on the resource renderer (the resource renderer is defined in the layout set), using the approval command group, I don't know the exact name, but it will be something with "approval" or "statemanagement" in it...
Hope it helps

Edited by: Ganesh Natarajan on Jun 22, 2008 3:03 PM

I guess XML Forms builder is not able to do this. You will need to create your own predefined properties for the dates and develop a metadata extension to check that the date is the correct range.

Property not loaded in XML form builder

Hi,
I am trying to create a new application in XML form builder. I have created few custom properties in KM. I want to use those properties to map to the field in XML application. But i see that under teh data model, I am not able to see any properties from KM. When i click reload properties nothing gets loaded. Also when i right click on DataSchema, menu doesnt appear. What could be the problem?
Regards,
P188071

Hi!
You probably have to create a property group and a property structure in the Property Structure Service of km configuration first.
See here for more details:

Pretty much the same requirements you have.
