XML Form Sort List Problem!

Dear All
I have modified the news xml form to include priority and actionable, which worked fine. Now I want to order my list so that it only display one value of the priority or actionable.
My idea was to access the directory through an AbstractPortalComponent and then loop through the aResourceList and only display the news items with Priority = 1 ... But I can't seam to access the xml values ..
Thanks in advance.

hello,
the reports parameter-form supports only the basic elements of creating a form. if you want to create a more complex/interactive parameter form, you have to use oracle forms to get the parameters and then call orace reports for that.
alternativly you can use HTML as well.

XML Forms: Distinct Editing

Hi all!
I have a requirement to create a XML Forms App which works as a Q&A App. So, the end user creates the XML Form with a question, and the admin answers the question by editing the XML Form. The problem is that the same person that creates the question CANNOT enter the answer too, so using the same Edit form for both Admin and User is not feasible.
Is there a way to achieve this behaviour? Can i show one Edit form to the End User and another with extra fields to the Admin?
Any help is appreciated. Also, if you have a suggestion for this requirement other than XML Forms or the one i stated above, please share!
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I had the same problem. You can solve it working with resource type.
When you create a form, it has associated a resource type. The idea is working with two forms, one of them is for question and the other is for answer.
Once the user to ask a question and press save botton, you must replace resource type by the answer form.
You have to use two diferent layout set. Remember that each layout set uses collection renderer, in these collection you must filter by resource type.
Each one of theses layout set must be assigned in your km navigation iview.
In short:
You have two user A and Q.
Q User, to ask a question to do that this user has a km navigation iview with a specific layout set. This layout allow him to create a question but once the form is saved as its resource type is changed disappeard.
A user, answer questions, to do that use other km navigation iview with other layout set. As Q user change resource type, A user sees a new question.

Hi ram singh,
There are some steps that you could follow :
1. Create the XML FORMS using the XML FORMS Builder
    a) On Edit panel create your form that will be visible on NewsExplorer Layouset.
    b) On RenderList create how your form wil be visible on NewsBrowser Layouset.
2. Create first Iview for Admin:
   a) Set the layouset to "NewsExplorer"
   b) Set the "Path to Initially Displayed Folder" to "/MyFolderForXMLFORM"
   c) Set the "Path to Initially Displayed Folder" to "/MyFolderForXMLFORM"
3. Create second Iview for users:
   a) Set the layouset to "NewsBrowser"
   b) Set the "Path to Initially Displayed Folder" to "/MyFolderForXMLFORM"
   c) Set the "Path to Initially Displayed Folder" to "/MyFolderForXMLFORM"
That's all! Now you can create new items using the Admin iView, which will be storage on KM path that you had set on steps 2 and 3. When you open your User Iview will be show all xml files that exists on your "/MyFolderForXMLFORM".

"Feedback" problem in XML Forms

Hi Forum,
                I have created an xml form (for creating and showing articles similar to News) using form builder. In the "show" form i placed a button and assigned the action "Details" to it (So when it is clicked takes to Details Screen). Created a KM Navigational iview that uses my custom layout "myNewsExplorer" in which i have removed some of the command groups like properties, permissions etc.. as i dont want the end users to see these options in the details screen. But to my surprise the feed back button's action is not using myNewsExplorer layout and it is directly pointing to AdminExplorer and giving me all the unwanted command groups and commands. How can i make the feed back option to point to my custom layout set.
                 I dont want to use "give feedback", "feedback" commands at the resource renderer level, since they dont provide facility to open the given feed backs and read (They only allow to give feed back and just list the given feedbacks).
                 Now i am trying to use two feed back buttons in the show form, the first one with action - Details (for admin). I want to get this button to only specified admin user and not to end users. How can i capture the current logged in user from the xml form and put a condition that this button should only appear to admin user ?
                 Please share some ideas. I need to deliver this functionality immediately (working at client place).         (Points Assured)
Thanks

Hi,
Your requirement is to Browse from different km folders based on some dropdown selection in xml form. is n't?
We also face similar kind of problem, in which we have to enable/disable one fields depends on value of another fields.
As i know it is not possible in XML Form. We acheived our requirement by adding some javascript in generated xml form. Since it is not a recommended solution i am not suggesting to do so.
Please ask suggestion from others also.

Problem sorting list with virtual layout = false (and also with true)

Hi,
I've a problem sorting a list... or better... I've a problem showing the sorted list ;-)
I've a list of xml item. The list is shown with an item renderer.
my needs: a button to refresh data and a button to sort data.
useVirtualLayout = false
-> refresh works correctly, sort does not affect the view (even if the list is sorted correctly when printed with trace)
useVirtualLayout = true
-> sort works correctly, refresh reverse the list each time I press it (even if the list remain the same when printed with trace)
does any one have an idea?
thank you!!
MXML
<s:List dataProvider="{xmlListCollection}" width="100%" itemRenderer="myRenderer" minHeight="0" id="test" useVirtualLayout="false" >
<s:layout>
<s:VerticalLayout clipAndEnableScrolling="true"/>
</s:layout>
</s:List>
XML example
<unit sortField1="First Floor" sortField2="7">
<employee>
    <id>3040684</id>
    <name>PIFFARETTI Vasco</name>
    <birthdate>20.05.1983</birthdate>

</unit>

You can tell when the scroll position has changed by handling the propertyChange event coming from the DataGroup:
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
               xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"
               creationComplete="list1.dataGroup.addEventListener('propertyChange', handle)">
    <fx:Script>
        <![CDATA[
            import mx.events.PropertyChangeEvent;
            private function handle(e:PropertyChangeEvent):void {
                if (e.property == 'verticalScrollPosition'){
                    trace('vsp changed');
                if (e.property == 'horizontalScrollPosition'){
                    trace('hsp changed');
        ]]>
    </fx:Script>
    <s:List id="list1" width="100" height="50">
        <s:layout>
            <s:VerticalLayout />
        </s:layout>

Problem with NewsLayout/XML Forms

Hello,
I have a created News(custom) item, through XML forms. When I preview the Edit,Show and Renderer form, they all work fine.
The problem, I am facing is:
When I create a news item under documents folder: New->Forms->News, it is saved. when i click on this xml file, I can see the news.
But in the iView, when i set the Layout as "NewsBroswer" , these news are displayed as links but not as News item( as we see in Renderer list in XML froms ). All the other forms (FAQ, SAP Demo News are seen as news item )
Can someone tell me why, this problem exists ?
Regards,
Poornima

Hi Raghu,
I have already done this. I am using the same layout set( with all the things u have mentioned ) to my other news, it works.
The news where I am creating now is directly under root in another folder which is at the same level as documents folder. Should I do some XML resource rendering settings for this. The XML form is available for this folder.
I have no idea pls help ! Its consuming a lot of my time to correct this.

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?

Problem starting XML Forms Builder

Hi
I have a SAP EP 6.0 SP2 Patch 28 portal where I newly implemented the how to guide "How To Secure Permissions fro Initial Content In SAP EP 6.0 SP2".
In this guide I need to create a new Content Manager role, due to a SAP Note 775117.
All this seems ok, but now I am not able to start the XML Forms Builder.
I am getting an error message that says something about the <b>"Access is denied:com.sap.portal.system/applications/com.sap.km.cm/components/xfbuilder - security zone:medium_safety/Com.sap.km.cm"</b>
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??

XML Forms Builder: Sorting news based on a date field in a XML form

Hi Experts
I have a requirement and I am stuck up in finding a solution. I have a XML form and this has been mapped to a folder in KM. It publishes news. In the collection renderer settings there is an option to sort the news ascending or descending based on created/modified criteria.
The requirement is to sort the news based on a date field in XML form. Can you experts help me in getting the solution for same?
The users who post the news in our portal needs the information to be sorted based on a date field shown.
Thank you
Best regards
Ramamoorthy D

Hi Experts
I have not got any solution for this issue. Can any of you get me some clue to work on this issue with sorting news based on a date field in a XML form?
I removed the property link from the screen field Input field.

Sorting KM news / xml forms

I've created xml forms / news.
The publication is working fine but,
   - the news are sorted by News name
and I would like to change the sorting
   - or by creating date
   - or by a specific field of the news' data model
Does someone have experience with this ?
Kind regards
Vincent

Hi Vincent,
It appears the default setting for the "NewsBrowser" are as follows:
Property for Sorting: modified
Sorting Mode: descending
This means the default NewsBrowser will renders all news articles
on the last modified date in descending order where the property
id modified maps to the property cm_modified.
There is no property existing called "date", if you wish to sort
the news articles on the creation date the property id you would
use is created which maps to the property cm_created, so you
parameters would look like this:
Property for Sorting: created
Sorting Mode: descending
Did you tried above configrations?
Best Regards

XML form field choice list to be populated by collaboration room names

I would like to create a news form used within collaboration rooms where one field should include the name of the room where the news entry is created.
Preferably this should be done automatically as works for date and author fields ($date, $sap_user), but could also be done manually if there is a way to populate the list with all available room names. If so, how do I get these to show up in the XML forms builder. There is a property 'Room' with sub-property 'Name' in the builder's property menu, but I can't see how to use this to get the room name displayed in the form.

Thanks! After working with the example you sent me, I was able to get it to work -- great! However, this method seems to overwrite all the other XML in my xfa:data -- not great!
For example, without the script, I have something like this in my form data variable after a form is completed and submitted:
- <xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/" timeStamp="2010-08-05T15:07:02Z" uuid="62d739de-6eb3-4ae2-8cfc-4eab0dd87f17">
- <xfa:datasets xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
- <xfa:data>
- <root>
- <performanceReview>
<badgeNumber>8107</badgeNumber>
<associateName>NATHAN JANNASCH</associateName>
<department>Information System</department>
<section>IS - System Devlopment</section>
<jobFamily>Professional Staff</jobFamily>
<GLBadge />
<groupLeader />
</performanceReview>
<FSTARGETURL_ />
</root>
</xfa:data>
However, when I use the script as you described above and in your sample to load the data for the dropdown list, I get this in my form data variable:
- <xdp:xdp xmlns:xdp="http://ns.adobe.com/xdp/" timeStamp="2010-08-05T15:10:17Z" uuid="62d739de-6eb3-4ae2-8cfc-4eab0dd87f17">
- <xfa:datasets xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/">
- <xfa:data>
- <GroupLeaders>
- <GroupLeader>
<GLBadge type="varchar">8103</GLBadge>
<GLName type="nvarchar">AARON MEISTER</GLName>
</GroupLeader>
- <GroupLeader>
<GLBadge type="varchar">5221</GLBadge>
<GLName type="nvarchar">AB EDMONDS</GLName>
</GroupLeader>
</GroupLeaders>
</xfa:data>
It looks like the data the script loads is overwriting all of my other xfa:data. This is quite bad, as my process is dependent upon this data. Is there a way to append the dropdownlist data to the xfa:data, or perhaps load it into another node, rather than overwriting the existing xfa:data elements?
Thanks!
