XML Source Tab not working, please test this form on LiveCycle

[Arnold_L]

Hello,

I've recently posted this form to solve a few issues.

Now I have a new problem.

While in LiveCycle ES, I select the  XML Source Tab....

LiveCycle thinks for a bit but nothing happens!....

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I do not want to go back to an old form and redo all the work.

Thank You

Had a look at  your form and found issues in the template. There was a bug in the 8.x series of Designer where a set of instructions (intended for Designer) woudl get repeated in the template (it happened when copy and paste was used). It was an exponential problem such that each time you copy and paste on your form these instructions woudl multiple. In your case your template grew to the size of 82Mgs (in native XDP format). You woudl not notice the size change when you save as a PDF because of compression. In version 9 a fix was introduced where the template woudl be cleaned up when it was opened. That is why the one I sent you via email opens quicker. If you do not want to go to version 9 there is a style sheet I can apply to your template that will fix up the version that you have saved for Designer 8. Just let me know if you want it.

Hi Paul,

Yes I would love to have this issue resolved. It has been creating problems for so many forms. I assumed that it could be some virus. It's also causing problems when sent via email to other doctors.

Thank Please send me the solution.

The resolution is to go to Designer 9 .....I have a style sheet that I can apply to the xdp version of the forms but it requires Java on th machine. If you want to send me the forms I can apply the style sheet and send them back. You might want to send them to LiveCycle8@gmail.com instead of posting them here.

Hi paul,

This would be great. I ran into a problem. I was able to change the wording but can't seem figure out how to bring back some of the trigger information when printing. On the form I sent to you the Trigger would list out.

Medicine  (trigger)                 .Use these medications (Avoidance)

On the form u sent to back only the Avoidance appears.

What can I do to show the trigger information & Avoidance information at print?

Thank you,

Arnold

Hi Paul,

I've been working with the form and found that the Trigger Information no longer appears,

What should be done to make sure the Trigger information also generates beside the Avoidance Box. I've been trying to add it with your settings.

All i get is no response from the checkboxes.

example missing trigger

Trigger                                Avoidance

Animal/Dander....etc           Avoid Animal Dander

The trigger no longer appears as my old form did.

I've tried this whole week but I can't seem to get it to work.

Could you add some commands to Triggers?

Here is where I had the form populate.

topmostSubform.Page1.Trig.RowTrig.Triggers.rawValue = "Animal dander/Dust/Mold/Cockroach

Thank you Arnold.

Can you post your latest form so that we are working from the same base?

Paul

Hi Paul,

Actually the form you worked from is fine.

I only updated some words.

Arnold

Hi Paul,

Here are the lines I was using on the checkboxes.

The script activated generated text and corresponded with the Avoidance.

How can these commands be activated along with the Avoidances.

if (this.rawValue == "A1"){

     topmostSubform.Page1.Trig.RowTrig.Triggers.rawValue = "Animal dander/Dust/Mold/Cockroach" + "\n" +  topmostSubform.Page1.Trig.RowTrig.Triggers.rawValue;

}

if (this.rawValue == "0"){

     topmostSubform.Page1.Trig.RowTrig.Triggers.rawValue = "";

I sent you the copy of what you recently sent.

Thanks Arnold

Hi Paul

Thanks,Arnold

No ...I did not ..where did you send it? Just post it on the forum.

Paul

Here's another copy, I'm at work so it's harder for me to actively post into the forum, but I will try.

OkI found the form .....you changed the way I created it. I used a scripting object to recreate the Avoidance field each time a checkbox is changed. That is the only way I coudl keep the checkboxes in sync with that field. Is there something else that needs to be added other than a brief phrase when each checkbox is checked?

Paul

[Arnold_L]

Yes on the form the Trigger's also corresponded to another text box. it generated the trigger information along with the avoidance.

Trigger                      Avoidance

Animal                      Animal Dander

right now it only shows

Trigger                      Avoidance

(Blank)                      Animal Dander

Here's a copy I think will show you how it looks,

It will show after printing.

Thank You Paul,

[Former Community Member]

OK Now I understand ....I didn't realize that it was only showing up when you print.

You did not attach your form to the message so I used an earlier version. I simply modified the script object to update the hidden field accordingly.

Again, you may want to change the phrases being used but I think you get the idea of rebuilding the update boxes each time a checkbox is changed.

Paul

[Arnold_L]

When I made changes, I would go directly to the XML Source. It's the only way I understood to rewrite the wording.

Thanks for updating me the info.

No ...use the scripting editor. If it is not open hit Ctrl-Shift-F5 ..It will be on top of the form area. It can be resized to fit your need. Now click on the scripting object in the hierarchy view and you will be able to see all of the code. Mush easier to edit in there.

Hi Paul,

Did you figure out how it will print up the trigger and avoidance information?

I'll be able to test it from work if it's ready.

Although, I'm not home on LiveCycle I can test the PDF.

If it matches the Trigger and Avoidance I can post the form for the hospital.

Thank You
