XML forms: Appending new news with previous ones

Hi all
I have created XML form for displaying news. I have created views for creating and viewing the news.
What I need is that whenever the user creates a news , it should append the previous ones rather than generating a new xml form for it so that the reader can access it in one place.
Can anybody help in this?
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
try if the ListView fits your needs. Normally you would generate a detailled view for a single news and an abstract view for the list. But you are free to reuse the detailled view for the lists. That way, complete news items will appear in one big List (look for NewsExplorer) and can be scrolled there.
You should alos check whether using listviews and explorer solves your problem without redundant displays. I prefer the Title/Abstract list and the details-popup.
hope that helps

I need help choosing a new MBP (previous one was stolen)

Hello everyone, I need help choosing my next macbook pro because my previous one (15" Core i7 high res anitglare screen) was stolen . As you probably tell I spent a lot of money on my previous one and now I am a broke college student that doesn't have $2,400 to drop on a replacement.
So this is where you come in... because of budget reasons I have been looking at the 13 inch macbook pro but I just cannot bring myself to spend $1200 on a laptop with old technology (Core 2 duo processor) not to mention it is only 2.4ghz. I am not really sure what to ask about it I think i just need some good stats or other convincing information to allow me to buy it.
I know about the student discount and the refurb. macs, are there any other reliable ways to get a less expensive MBP?
I am a converted PC user and I LOVE macs, please don't let my budget make me revert back to a PC...

Like you’ve already said refurb is a good option.
I know it’s a bit late now but let me point you in the direction of Prey Project.
Prey Project is an open source program I use on my MacBook Pro, it’s a program that can track your computer and phones if stolen using GPS / Google Maps etc to give you location of it.
It will also take pictures of who is in front of it, log what they are doing etc.
Check it out here http://preyproject.com/ this such an amazing program that is free to use, will work on Apple, Windows, Linux and Android phones.

Reg : XML Form Builder News

Hello Experts,
I have created news through KM Navigation iView. Here i specified the Layout Set for this News and in this Layout Set, i used
Collection Renderer : NewsDisplayCollectionRenderer
here in Collection Renderer,
Property for Sorting : modified
Sorting Mode : descending
so my latest updated news is displaying on the Top of all.
Like This:
Company News - 3rd uploaded ( Latest uploaded News ) - should not shown
Company News - 2nd uploaded
Company News - 1st uploaded
Here how can i invisible my Latest News(Last News which i uploaded last)?
Regards,
Mythili

Hi Mythili,
You could use the approval workflow, which hides the documents to readers as long as it is not approved. See http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/04/9053ad76fd0948b4ec2abf97898a3e/frameset.htm for details. You can also think of using Time-Dependent Publishing. Or you could manually set the document to "hidden".
Hope it helps

XML forms / news no more visible as Form-based publishing

I 've a very strange behavior on my portal (EP 7.0 SPS10),
I do publish a news via XML form => the news is displaied )
After "some time" (sorry I was not able yet to force / understand how to reporduce the error) I can not see anymore the news (and I've full permissions on the folder, this does not seems to be related to validity)
In fact the xml of the news does still exists (when I browse the folder). His type (Settings -> Properties -> System) has desapear. The news I can see have a Type = Form-based publishing.
Does anyone already experience this behaviour ?
How could I reset the property type to "Form-based publishing" ?
Thank you
Vincent

Hello,
Did anyone already experienced this behaviour, this becomes critical for me.
I lost all me news one more time : the xml files are still there, but can not be displayed as news ...
Please help

Issue in Java Scipt in XML form

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 in our 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.

Doubts regarding XML Form Builder

Hi All,
I am having some doubts regarding XML Forms (Projects) that is created using XML Form Builder. Where are exactly these projects stored. Can I edit these projects and add my own Java Functionality in these. And also the data which I fill using these project where is it stored. Suppose New Project I ve created using XML Form Builder, now I want to feed in the news. Where exactly are these news stored.
Thanks in Advance
Anish

Hi Anish
You can make the standard settings and modify the XML forms builder in line with your requirements in the options. You can set the standard paths for your project on the Paths tab page.
To get a clear understanding, please go through this link.

Help needed - XML forms not displaying in my repository

Hi all
I could really do with some help here. I have a custom XML form for news articles. It works fine in the standard documents repository, but I have my iView pointing to a folder in my own CM repository.
When a user tries to directly access the "show" form, instead of the form it displays the XML code. Any ideas why this is?
My CM repository is running the following services:
layout, properties, svc_acl, tbp
EP6SP14
Thanks! Chris

Hello,
I have the same problem. When I'm trying to create an XML file using XML form in the repository /etc, I get the following error:
XML - Forms
Cannot create item e0977870-cf29-2d10-bb89-d00b5761268c.xml in collection /etc/public/; operation is not supported.
When I do the same in repository /documents, it works fine.
I think, I've made the neccesary settings for the repository (Form Based Publishing, ...).
Any clues will be highly appreciated.

Xml forms

I also posted this question in the spry forum, I didn't know which would be the best place
I recently was "volunteered" to build a new website for a local non-profit organization. I am fairly descent at building static sites(but brand new to dynamic), and I have run into an issue with a form area on the site. They have 3 training signup pages that are quite lengthy, and need updated regularly. The folks there are not exactly computer-savy so I am worried about them going into Dreamweaver and messing stuff up. I am trying to find a way to give them an easy way to update the form as necessary and save them the expense of hiring someone to update the list as needed. I have been doing some research on xml and spry to see if this would apply to forms. Can xml populate a form, with all needed checkboxes, and other info needed? The current site is build in html, with php form-to-mail attributes.
Ideally I would want the form to auto-delete training dates that have already passed, add an easy admin function to add new content via xml, and retain the form to mail function. Here is the address of the page as it is right now: http://www.clickhappytesting.com/wcrTraining.html . Currently there are only like 20 or so items on the form, but there are usually like 100 per form.
I am using DWcs4 so any help, or direction to where I could find help, or even an extension that would work would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank You,
Shawn Lloyd

Hi Naresh,
You will need KM to use the XML forms. I strongly doubt that there is anyway around this as the XML forms are bound closely with KM. An alternative to using XML forms could be to create a URL iView that points to a webpage that you can easily administer using a HTML editor.
Hope it helps.

SAP_APP_News XML Form error

There seems to be an error with the implementation of the SAP_APP_News XML form (standard news form provided by SAP). If I add a short description and that description has a trailing space, when I click preview (before the form is saved), the text for the short description is replaced by the last news item's (that was edited) short description.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this behavior? or what might be causing this error?

hi its quite possible the the proxy server has blocked certain content or certain sites. Kindly post more details.
P.S: Kindly assign points if your query is resolved, also close the question to assist other users narrow the search and find solutions

How to generate a report from data entered by users in XML forms

hi,
i have a requirement to generate report from xml forms which are created using XML forms Builder and stored in Km folders. management want to see in a single report all the activities of all the users in the xml form in such a way that one row in the report presents data blongs to each user. i have no idea regarding this.
can any one help me in detail.
Thanking you in adavance
sajeer

Hi Sajeer,
You have given quite few information what data should be collected / showed in detail. Anyhow, it sounds as if you want to provide data which isn't provided within the standard portal so far (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/07/dad131443b314988eeece94506f861/frameset.htm for a list of existing reports).
For your needs you probably have to develop a repository service which reacts on content / property changes and then you would have to log these changes somewhere, for example in a DB. On the other side, you then could implement a report iView which accesses this data and displays it as whished.
Hope it helps
