XML Forms: Change layoutset of Browser Control

Hi There,
I have a form, where I've added a Browser Control. From the properties section of the Browser Control I can select several Actions that controls the popup window.
I want to be able to specify the layoutset the Browser Control is using when popping the browser window.
I've been looking into the browserControls.xml file, and It looks straight forward to ad my own Browser Action.
But my question is - Is that really necessary ??
Helpful hints will be rewarded
Regards,
HC

Hey fellows!
Can it be true - Is none of you super intelligent KM folks able to answer my question or at least hint me ?
Regards,
HC

XML-form shown in the Browser but not in iView

Hi,
I am exploring xml-builder, was able to create a project, save the form and can even use the form from the New 'New Project' in the browser, saved my news item. But the news item is not shown on the iView, though I can edit it (I only see the functions 'edit', 'sent to', etc. Can you please tell what I am missing to do properly? I am using JRE 1.4.
thanks a lot
Marcos

Hi Marcos,
is it possible that you only have created the edit form, not the corresponding Show/RenderListItem/ListShow form for showing up the content?!
Hope it helps

XML Forms and URL links in RenderListItem Form

Hello everyone,
I'm new at XML Forms and trying to do my first forms. I have this scenario:
- user fills several entry fields in "Edit" Form, 2 of them include URL Links.
- Every new entry in "RenderListItem" Form lists fields "Title" and URL1 URL2.
In RenderListItem Form, i would like to control the behaviour of these links. Link URL1 should open in a new window, but URL2 should stay in the same browser window.
How can i achieve this ?
Thank you in advance for any help,
Nuno

Hi Nuno,
you can achieve this by changing the XSL file.

After upgrade date selection does not work in xml forms

Hi Experts,
since we upgrade the portal from 7.0.19 to 7.0.24 we have a problem with the timestamp in the xml forms in combination with IE7. When we click on the date selction button, the date screen appears and the form disappears. The only option we can choose is cancel and then the date selection screen disappears and the form is not comming back. Selecting a date en choose ok does not work. I tried with IE6 then it works fine. Before the upgrade it works fine with IE7.
How to solve this?
thanks in advance.

Xml form HTML Editor control change.

Hi,
Is it possible to change External weblink control property of HTML Editor used in xml form builder.?
As of now this control gives 2 options to provide external weblink (1.Open in active window ,2.open in new window).I want to add open in same window as top.
Can anyone give some useful information ?
Thanks and Regards,
Jack.
Note: Points will be awarded for useful answers.

Hi jack men,
If you are still interested in a solution to your problem...
We just hit upon the same problem. I found out that XMLForms reference htmledit4.js in their <XMLForm-Name>Edit.xsl, so you have to adapt that one.
I saved htmledit4.js and renamed it to htmledit5.js so that I can change the HTMLEditor settings only for my XMLForm (and not for e.g. SAPNewsForm).
I changed the entry in my XML-Form Editor settings XSL to reference the new JavaScript file:
[code]<xsl:value-of select="$xmlformsroot"/>/htmledit/htmledit5.js</xsl:if>[/code]
Then I copied the method body of htmledit3.js (the standard htmleditor JavaScript file) to htmledit5.js and adapted it to just show the two tragets of <i>self</i> and <i>top</i>.
The method to display link properties is: <b>htmlb_hed_makeWebLinkDialog</b>
Find this method in both files. Then find in htmledit3.js the beginning of the target window selection-box:
[code]sSizerHtml += "<SELECT id=htmlb_hed_link_launch_mode class=\"urDdlWhlSml\">";[/code]
the following lines of code determine the selectable values.
You will notice that htmledit4.js misses a few entries. Just copy all or the ones you need.
For your convenience I show my code here:
[code] sSizerHtml += "<td>";
sSizerHtml += "<span style=\"font-size:1em;\">";
sSizerHtml += "<SELECT id=htmlb_hed_link_launch_mode class=\"urDdlWhlSml\">";
//-- target=_blank
sSizerHtml += "<OPTION value=\"_blank\" ";
if(modOpenMode==1) sSizerHtml += "selected";
sSizerHtml += ">";
sSizerHtml += txtMap["TXT_HTMLB_HED_BLANK"];
sSizerHtml += "</OPTION>";
//-- target=_parent --
sSizerHtml += "<OPTION value=\"_parent\" ";
if(modOpenMode==2) sSizerHtml += "selected";
sSizerHtml += ">";
sSizerHtml += txtMap["TXT_HTMLB_HED_PARENT"];
sSizerHtml += "</OPTION>";
//-- target=_search--
sSizerHtml += "<OPTION value=\"_search\" ";
if(modOpenMode==3) sSizerHtml += "selected";
sSizerHtml += ">";
sSizerHtml += txtMap["TXT_HTMLB_HED_SEARCH"];
sSizerHtml += "</OPTION>";
//--target=_self
sSizerHtml += "<OPTION value=\"_self\" ";
if(modOpenMode==4) sSizerHtml += "selected";
sSizerHtml += ">";
sSizerHtml += txtMap["TXT_HTMLB_HED_SELF"];
sSizerHtml += "</OPTION>";
//-- target=_top
sSizerHtml += "<OPTION value=\"_top\" ";
if(modOpenMode==5) sSizerHtml += "selected";
sSizerHtml += ">";
sSizerHtml += txtMap["TXT_HTMLB_HED_TOP"];
sSizerHtml += "</OPTION></SELECT></span>";
sSizerHtml += "</td>";
sSizerHtml += "</tr>";[/code]
I didn't check yet if a new generation of the XMLForms Project in the XMLFormsBuilder overwrites the changes in the XMLFormsEdit.xsl, however I guess so. A better way would be to adjust the JavaScript reference in some other configuration file that I haven't found yet, until then just adapt the XSL everytime...
If Carsten Buechert contacted you regarding the exchange of the whole control, I would be interested myself as well.
Cheers

XML Forms: Browser() Field?

Hi All
I am creating an XML form and on this form I am trying to create a Browser Control which will open a folder I specify as the current one opens up the folder where the form is located.
Does anyone know how to do this? Is it done by altering the Schema Reference?
Thanks
Phil

Hi Phil,
You can define a start folder for individual browser controls in the control property Start In. This setting overrides all other settings.
You can also specify a subfolder of %projectroot% dynamically in the iView properties and in browser controls.

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

Error in Browser field of XML Form

Hi All,
We have recently upgraded our portal system from NW 7.00 (SP23) to NW 7.01 (SP09).
Post upgrade we are facing an issue in XML forms for file browser element.
On the XML forms we have an element u201Cfile browseru201D which we use for attaching documents as attachments in the XML forms.
After upgrade, when we select a document using this element u201Cfile browseru201D, the file path is getting uploaded in the field without the file name. Hence after saving the XML forms when we try to display it and open the attachment in the XML forms, it is giving the following error.
The folder you are looking for has no displayable content. You can try one of the following:
u2022 Access the folder using the Navigation user interface.
u2022 Access the folder as a Web folder. Your operating system and browser dictate whether or not this will work.
Example : Suppose we are attaching a file f1.xls in /documents/images folder, the path captured in the browser textbox is /documents/images (it should be /documents/images/f1.xls).
This was working fine before the upgrade to NW 7.01 SP09.
Our system is already running LIVE on production and we are facing major issues due to this problem. Kindly provide a solution at the earliest.
Regards,
Nitesh

How to change the date format in xml form?

hi,
How to change the date format in xml form?
For example: 11/20/2008 3:00:03 PM -> 11-20 03:00
Any opinions greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

You could go to System - User Profile - Own Data would take you to the "maintain user profile screen"
Click the defaults button and change the date format.This changes date format for all the dates in your login.

Changing date format in XML form!!

Hi,
I have created a form by using XML form builder.I have many date fields in the form. I want to change the date format of date field from default MM.DD.YY to DD.MM.YYYY.
Helpful answer will be appreciated with points.
Regards,
Dharam

Hi Dharam,
you can change the date format in the KM Layout set as described here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=240057
but the XML Forms functionality does not refer to the additional format information set on he property as you can read here:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/thread?threadID=105044
Hope this helps,
