XML Form - Link open in Portal Content Area

I have created an XML form which displays a list of images as links to KM documents (eg a Read More... link).
The problem I have run into is that any link that you click on opens up in a new window.
Is there a setting somewhere that indicates that all links should be opened in the portal content area, rather than in a new window?
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Kind Regards
Rasim

Rasim,
You can try doing this.
Logon to Portal.
Click Personalize option on the top left corner and choose work protect mode.
Choose "Discard unsaved data (open page in same window)"
Save and Exit.
Logoff and relogin and check.
Hope this helps.

XML form link not opening in scrolling news

Hi,
I have created news by using XML form in that I m passing links which is opening in 'Show' form.then I have used KM Document Iview and passing ivew link of that form in 'Marquee Tag' then create par file of that which works properly(news scroller is working).But when I click on link its not opening.
Please help asap. Its urgent...

Shraddha

Hello Raghavendra_RT,
Is that page on SharePoint, or is that on the internet?
If the second is the case I would just use a hyperlink which opens in a new tab via target blank attribute:
http://www.w3schools.com/tags/att_a_target.asp
And you can place it in a content editor web part.
Btw, with SharePoint 2013 you can use the Script Editor Web Part to embed a form from a source like Survey Monkey:

XML Form Builder Issues

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)?

XML URL Links - Issue diff to pervious post!

Please can someone help. I'm new to xml and flash and have worked through the following tutorial: http://www.kirupa.com/developer/actionscript/xmldataflash2.htm
I now want to add a link so for example I want <name>Thomas Edison</name> the name to be the link how do I do this. I've looked at links which give solutions like <name><a href="item/01.html"> Thomas Edison </a></name> but none of this has worked.
I'm using MX pro 04. Thanks

XML Forms Links

Hi Friends!
I have a form with two link fields:
1.- Related links example http://www.google.com
2.- Related archive example document.doc
How can I set properties in the show and RenderListItem form and show me the links.
If someone can help me.
Thanks

Hi Cesar,
You can do that, there is not problem.
In your form, you can attach a file (before doing that you must upload in KM). Also, you can define url field in order to enter your link.
Don't forget to do this modification in your xsl files:
First dowload from etc/xmlforms/<proyectname> the form you use to view the files (<proyectname>RenderListItem.xsl or <proyectname>Show.xsl)
then edit the one you are using to show the files,
you will something like this


<xsl:if test="Link15=''">
<xsl:value-of select="Campo15" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="Link15!=''">
<a class="a2">
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="starts-with(Link15, 'imagepath/')">
<xsl:value-of select="$imagepath"/>/<xsl:value-of select="substring-after(Link15, 'imagepath/')"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="starts-with(Link15, '$imagepath/')">
<xsl:value-of select="$imagepath"/>/<xsl:value-of select="substring-after(Link15, '$imagepath/')"/>

Hi gazala,
Hope you are doing good.
Is the portal 7.3? can you let us know the version? Trigger 5-6 thread dumps with 30 secs interval each for your server when you reproduce the issue.
More info:

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.

Issue in XML Form Builder

Dear Experts,
i am new to XML Form Builders in Portal, so i have started with this document as my first form:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/ee639033-0801-0010-0883-b2c76b18583a?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
but i have come across two issues can you please guide me to troubleshoot this issue's:
Issue 1:
I have made changes as per the document but as per the document (refer page: 17, 2. point)
refer this image from document: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/825/xmlerror1.png/
New> Form>?,   here my created News is not displayed
But it show like below:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/839/xmlerror2.png/
As shown in the image no News form that I have created?
Did I miss anything?
Issue 2:
As per page 18 from same document:
Path to Initially Displayed Folder:      /documents/myNews
Path to Root Folder for Navigation:    /documents/myNews
I have created Iviews with the same pathu2019s and when I Preview I am getting the error as below:
Item not found
/documents/myNews
The item you are attempting to access is not available. Check that the name or link is correct. You might also check whether the associated repository is currently accessible.
It seems that I am completely in wrong track can someone guide me in right direction to solve this both the issues.
Full points will be awarded for sure!

Mahesh

Hi,
Please read and try to understand the concept; give yourself some time. Try to understand what an XMLForms project is and how this differs from content based on such a project.
> Path to initially displayed folder : /documents/myNews
> Path to root folder for Navigation: /documents/myNews
These are just two settings for the KM navigation iView; you can read the (different) meanings on help.sap.com. But in short words: You just configure to which folder the KM navigation iView points to. That's all.
> so here it pointing to both newly created folder for saving the form created by the end users
If you have the iView, it is a KM nav iView pointing to this folder. Now an "end user" - it is: an author - can call this iView and can create content based on the XMLForms you have created before (Folder - New - Forms - ...). That's all. That works. End of story. Afterwards, XMLForms content objects based on your project are to be found in this folder.
> but this folder "myNews" does not contain the form which i have created
You have created an XMLForms project. Period. You can ("author" iView!!!) create content based on your project in that folder.
> so how do the end users see my form in first case.
??? Really, you have to be much more precise if you want to survive in IT... What is your "end user"? We are talking of an author iView. In that cas it is an author. And under "Folder - New - Forms - ..." there is the possibility to create new XMLForms content based on the project you have created. (That you have said by yourself - issue 1 was gone!!!)
There is nothing more to explain. That it everything. I really don't see your or any problem any more.

XML Forms & Read me link

Can anybody help on this issue i'm having.
I've created a XML form to display company news. When the news is created I want the functionality to be able to include attachments, which i have done by including a browser control, type RID, style 'Report Link' on the 'show' form.
However it could be that the user wants to attach >15 documents. I tried to do this using the same concept linking to a KM folder opposed to a file, however when trying to display the contents of the KM folder i get the following message:

'The folder you are looking for has no displayable content.
You can try one of the following:
Access the folder using the Navigation user interface.
Access the folder as a Web folder. Your operating system and browser dictate whether or not this will work. '
I would appreciate if anyone else has had the similar issues and how it was resolved.
Thanks
Mark

Trevor,
I've got a text control on the form of name 'RelatedLinks..' At the bottom of this post is an extract of the 'show form'. The section in bold is where was previously set to just

<xsl:value-of select="RelatedLink"/>

and was replaced by

<xsl:value-of select="'/irj/go/km/navigation/'"/>
<xsl:value-of select="RelatedLink"/>
<xsl:value-of select="'?rndLayoutSet=DisplayAttachments'"/>

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers
Mark

PS. Please note that if you make any amendments and republish the form you will have to change this form again.

Filter Predefined Properies, Feedback Search, XML Forms Show form issues

Hi all,
I have created XML forms with XML builder and I have some questions.
1. When filtering by predefined properties I want to filter by two properties, which are the same. For example, if there is a publication with two authors and author is the predefined property, in the first field I write the name of the first author, in the second field I write the name of the second author, the result is all publications, which are by both authors and all publication, which are either by the one, or by the other.
I don't have this problem when I filter by two different predefined properties. For example the author and the year. Than the result is all publication, which are by the author AND published in the requested year.
How can I set this option to be able to filter by two same predefined properties and the relation between both properties to be AND?(only publications by both author)
2. In the Show form I have created link to the feedback, using XML Forms BUilder, but I need to write first the feedback to be able to see already existing feedbacks,
if there are any. In the ResourceRendering Form I have created link to the feedback by LayoutSet, where I can see first, if there are already existed feedbacks.
If there is any possibility to set a LayoutSet for the Show Form or any other way in the Show form to display first the existing feedbacks and than to be able to write a new.
And something else reffering to the Show form, is it possible to rate the item from Show form or at least to have link to the rating, not a link to the Details.
I have tried to create a link to the /Properties/col:rating, but it doesn't work. The link dispays the value, if it has been already rated.
3. Is it possible to search for any information in the feedbacks(to make the feedback searchable)?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Best regards,
Zlatina

Hi Zlatin,
-> 1
By Default identic properties queries are connected by an 'OR'.
Please have a look into the documentation for further info.

So far it's not possible to connect two identic proerties by an 'AND' within the standard.
You can preset a search filter via the relevant Search Option Set.

How to change the Hyper links color in the XML form

HI SDNs
Do u have any idea how to change the hyperlink color in the xml form. My requirement is as follows.I have created xml form by using xml template and i displayed this xml form by using Km document iview. I need tochange the hyper link color in the xml form content. I dont want to go for manual process by editing the xml form. because i have several hundreds of xml forms.
Appreciate if you give suggestion.
Thanks
Ramana

Hi Ramana,
The most convenient way to change the hyper links is by using the Theme Editor. Go to System Administration --> Portal Display --> Select Theme --> Component-Specific Styles --> Links --> Function/Result Link.
Hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Joost

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
Pradeep
Edited by: pradeep bondla on Nov 19, 2009 3:08 AM

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).
