Xml forms builder- What exactly do I have to do in RenderListItem?

Hello Experts,
I have designed the form with Lables, Text Areas and Teat Fields as per our requirement in the Edit form of XML Forms Builder. And, now can you please let me know what has to be done in RenderListItem and what's the purpose ?
I have been reading a few docs which says that the Layout has to be designed in RenderListItem form. I'm sorry, but no document has clearly explained me how to do that
Could anybody be kind enough to explain that in detail.
Thanks a million in advnace.

Hi,
When you want to display the the articles that are published by using your xml form in a KM Navigation iview.
We will display only the subject, author and some intiial news to the end user in KM Navigation iview. This can be done through Renderlist item which you need to mention in your collection renderer of your layoutset.
The entire content will be displayed only after clicking the artccle.

  • Behavior of XML Form Builder after SP 13 upgrade

    Dear Experts,
    We are working on E.P 7.0 SP 10 and we've recently applied SP 13 and started testing the system.
    What we found on XML Form Builder is, we are unable to add schema (under Data Model) to the project.
    Can some one help us where exactly went wrong.
    Best Regards,
    Satyadev

    Hi,
    i think, i have faced the same problem recently.
    I had the problem that i saw the 3 categorys: namespace,data schema and properties.
    But i couldn't open them by clicking on them. This is also your problem?
    What i did with lots of hours of testing.
    1.Once you have managed to add something to the data schema you are fine. Then it will always be opened. ( Try opening an existing project and you will see that.)
    So you could open an old project and modify this.
    2. It is still possible to open the Data Schema. I don't know where to click exactly but i click like 100s of times on the symbol of Data Schema and with a little bit of luck it opens. If it doesn't work, i restart the Forms Builder and i try again.

    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*

    Why its not running on my production system.

  • Attachments in XML Form Builder

    Hello
    I have created a XML Forms Builder Project.
    News Author  will create News using this form and attach Documents  to the news.
    for ataching document I am using a Schema Element with datatype set as rid  .
    from this element i created a Browser control .
    At run time , i am able to select files from KM using the browser control.
    But while Viewing the News when i click on the Hyperlink for that control
    it opens up the same news again .. (its referencing self instead of the document)
    What property setting i am missing ?
    what is the correct way to attach documents and view them using a project created by XML Forms Builder ?

  • Issue with XML form builder

    Hi All,
    1 ) My XML form builder is hanging up very very frequently (other than this, my portal is very fast).
    when I save the project its hangs up at "50% saving internal model". then I have to close the xml form builder and reopen it and save it again (when i do it repeatedly, some time it saves).
    when I click on "open Project" many times its not popup the project list, I have to close the xml form builder, logout from my portal and then login back.
    Its horrible to work on this, keeps on hanging every time. Any idea why its behaving like this? as I said, my portal is very fast except XML form builder.
    My Java version is 1.4.2_16... XML form builder verison is 6.xx
    2) when clicked on "preview" button, can we open a pcd iview??? my requirement is, when user clicks on preview button I need to open my application built in PDK java (created iview out of it, which shows xml form in a better way)?
    3) Can I show "Edit" form first other than "Renderer" form in News application? Presently it shows renderer form-> user has to click edit link -> then it will open Edit form. I want "Edit" form to be visible to the user in the first step itslef. is it possible?
    Thanks

    Hi.
    I suppose changing of the JDK, because 1.4.2_16 is not recommended version (see SAP  Note 716604). Refer to note 718901 - How to Change the JDK of the J2EE Engine.
    Also check what version of client JRE in use. (see Note 1341069 - XML Forms Builder not supported if client JRE is 1.6).

  • 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??

  • 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

    I included a button "Save" in my project.
    All is working fine when i preview my project in XML Form Builder.
    The problem is when i run my project with iview.
    I suppose the form to save my input and then to be closed but
    unfortunately it did not.
    I don't know where the problem is as in the XML Form Builder everything seems ok.
    Thank you for your help!

    There is no javascript error in the form.
    In the status bar when i have my mouse over the button i can see "javaxcript:HrefSubmit('save',"");"
    And when push the button "Transering Data..."
    I created the form in the Xml Form Builder and in preview there the project works.
    What do you mean "Did you access your Form using the KM Admin Explorer via a comman?"
    How can i have acess there?

    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.

    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.

  • 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:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=944815&messageID=5712759#5712759
    Pretty much the same requirements you have.

  • Error writing output with iview for xml form builder

    Hi,
    I created a Xml Form Builder's project in which I developed an "Edit" and "ListEdit" sheet.
    I also created an iview for theese in which the code link is:"com.sap.km.cm.xmlform",and the field for Style Sheet for List and for single item are set up correctly,but when I tried the preview the following error message happened:
    com.inqmy.lib.xsl.xslt.XSLOutputException: Error writing output. -> org.w3c.dom.DOMException: Root Element is already present, cannot be appended as a child.
    could someone help me?
    thank's a lot!
    Nick.

    Hi,
    Now I'm confused,what do you mean with create new data? Are users editing existing documents
    (as if they go to a document example.xml > edit) or they are creating new documents (as if they go
    on folder > new > forms)?
    The problem is, in both cases a user would need read/write permissions.
    The normal flow content (data) is created in KM is as follows:
    1. user is assigned to a role
    2. role contains KM Navigation iView
    3. KM Navigation iView executes com.sap.km.cm.navigation component
    4. user chooses New > Form UI command (edit_xml_forms)
    5. edit_xml_forms UI command executes its code (com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.uicommand.cm.UIXMLFormsCreateCommand) and open xml edit for the user
    6. user fill the form and click Save, form is created into folder
    For what I understood so far, your requirement basically asks you to go directly to step 5, it is
    possible to pass a URL that goes directly to step 5, the UI command button, but if you do that
    you won't have a context, so chances that it will work are slim, since a context is required to
    fill the parameters asked by the app (like folder, user, permissions, etc). Even though, in some cases you can
    still pass the parameters via post in the URL but you must know which service/parameters the
    app asks for it, also a URL is static...
    That was the create scenario, I think it's more cons than pros, users would still be
    able to bypass the URL iView created for that, I'd suggest evaluating again if it's really
    a problem having users access cm to manage data
    kind regards,
    Rafael

    Hi
    1) data schema not expanding ?
    check ur JRE version installed on ur computer.
    some JRE version doesnot support XML Forms builder functions.
    my JRE version is 1.5.0.70. It really works here .
    upgrade or degrade the version of JRE in ur computer will solve ur problem.
    2) Error: The edit form does not contain a save button or link
    Warning: The name property is not referenced. A GUID will be used as the XML file name.
    This is something to do with u.
