I have a Typo3 server. On that I created some different content elements with mask.
In this elements there are often repeating content, like texts or other stuff.
So the editors make a new element in the backend, there they can add a headline and as much text parts as they want.
Often it looks like this:
Thats good, the editor can see a "preview" of the textparts. In this example "Karriere,Partner...". This naming happens automatically.
My Problem is, some times there arent any titles. Its always "No title". As an editor its quite hard to find the right dropdown to edit some stuff, you mostly have to open all dropdowns and search for the right one.
Its look then like this:
In both elements there are some string inputs that are very good for the title.
So my question is, how is mask gonna choose the title? Its not the first string input.
And secondly, can I tell Mask that they have to choose input field XYZ as title?
Heyo
Yes, you can tell Mask which field to use as a title for inline elements (like repeating contents). When you're setting up a new Mask element, right below the "Label" field of the repeated inline element, there is a field "Field that should be used as label for inline element (starting with tx_mask_)". This will be used as the title that is displayed in the backend. In the placeholder of that field, it explicitly says that "If empty, first field is used".
So, if your inline element has a field "my_awesome_header" which you would like to use as the title in the backend, set the above to "tx_mask_my_awesome_header".
I am not certain as to why it does not display anything in your second example. It might be that either the first input field is not a string, or the first input field is a string but it is empty.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you need further clarification.
Edit: Since that question came up, it should be possible to set a static default title to the containing Mask element using mod.wizards.newContentElement.wizardItems.mask.elements.[name of the mask element].tt_content_defValues.header = My awesome static title. As I said in the comments, though: I always give my Mask elements a header field and let editors fill that in.

I have read about using VBA to concatenate terms together using VbCrLf; I personally used Ctrl-Enter to create a second line in the caption field in the properties box.
But, after I do my ctrl-enter, it then only shows the first line of my multi-line caption in the datasheet view of my form.
becomes this...
This form is meant to recreate the functionality our owner is looking for from a current excel spreadsheet (the ability to sort on various columns), so I can't just use a report.
Please tell me I'm missing something obvious such as a caption height property value or something. The multiline caption will be very useful to help maintain appropriate column widths for the data.
Whilst you can display multiple lines of content within the datasheet view for a table by increasing the row height of each record, e.g.:
A more appropriate solution might be to use a text box on a form to display the data, where the height of the text box can be predefined in the design of the form, and scroll bars can be displayed:
There is no solution to adjusting column headers in the specific "datasheet" form that I was trying to use. It's a nice quick way that works for 95% of your uses. But, if you need more control (like me and others on the internet) the only solution is to create the form as a "Tabular" form in the form wizard. There are other descriptions of this type of form in Access (just to be confusing).
This is also described as a continuous form likely because that's the form property value toggle when you dive into the details.
It's more work but you have full control over the size, format, etc. of your column headers when creating/designing a tabular form.
I had an editable pdf with checkbox, after selection i flatten that pdf. from that flatten pdf i need to read the checkbox selection which is looks like crossmark(X), is there any possibility to read that checkbox selection.
When you flatten a PDF, you take away all interactivity. If you have a check box field in an interactive form, and you flatten that form, the check box field is gone. That is the concept of flattening.
What happens in practice?
A check box field has two appearances. One appearance is Off. This appearance can be a path such as a simple square defined as a rectangle. Another appearance can have any name On, Yes, 1 or whatever is defined in the original form. The corresponding appearance can be the same square as the Off appearance with two extra lines that look like a cross, or the square with a character that looks like a check mark, or whatever was defined in the original form.
When you flatten the form, you throw away the name of the check box field, you throw away the widget annotation that corresponds with the field, and you throw away one appearance state (depending on the value of the check box field). The only thing that is left, is one of the two appearances.
If you no longer have the original form, you have no clue as to what this appearance could look like, hence you have no idea what to look for, nor where to look for a specific appearance.
You say that the appearance looks like a cross mark in your case, but whoever reads this question has no idea if this cross mark is a path that was constructed in graphics state, or a glyph that was added in text state.
Long story short: if you flatten first and then expect to be able to read a field value, your design is seriously flawed.
You have to ask yourself: why do I need to flatten the form? Maybe it's sufficient to make the fields read-only. If that's not sufficient, why don't you add an attachment to the PDF that contains the original field values? There are many different ways to work around your problem.
Using the report-designer of Reportbuilder i want to add a long fixed text to my report with one or more included fields inside the text. Of course these fields should be filled with actual data, adjusting the text.
I remember I have done such a thing in the past, but cannot remember how. I thought you could accomplish this with a Text-field and something like 'This is the text and here {fieldname} fielddata is inserted', but that doesnt seem to work
Can anybody help?
Using reportbuilder 15.04
Response from Digital Metaphores:
Use the RichtText component! By setting MailMerge to true, you can add
datafields to text in the richtext editor
This adds the reference to the fielddata as a xml tag. Adding the fields Name from pipeline plData can be done like this:
<dbtext datapipeline='plData'>Name</dbtext>
Fill in the fixed text, then (making sure the focus is set to the text box, I.E. you have the flashing pipe cursor) right click in the place you want the data field to go, and click Create Placeholder.
In the Placeholder properties window give it a Label so you know what it is, then use the "Value" field to define what data from your datasets you want to be brought through.
You should end up with the Label you set in square brackets, like [Example] within the set text.
I created a .PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Pro. The file has several text fields. Using iTextSharp, I'm able to populate all the fields and mail out the .PDF.
One thing is bugging me - some of the next will not "fit" in the textbox. In Adobe, if I type more that the allocated height, the scroll bar kicks in - this happens when font size is NOT set to auto and multi-line is allowed.
However, when I attempt to set the following properties:
//qSize is float and set to 15;
//auto size of font is not being set here.
pdfFormFields.SetFieldProperty("notification_desc", "textsize", qSize, null);
// set multiline
pdfFormFields.SetFieldProperty("notification_desc", "setfflags", PdfFormField.FF_MULTILINE, null);
//fill the field
pdfFormFields.SetField("notification_desc", complaintinfo.OWNER_DESC);
However upon compilation and after stamping, the scroll bar does not appear in the final .PDF.
I'm not sure if this is the right thing to do. I'm thinking that perhaps I should create a table and flood it with the the text but the documentation makes little or no reference to scroll bars....
When you flatten a document, you remove all interactivity. Expecting working scroll bars on a flattened form, is similar to expecting working scroll bars on printed paper. That's why you don't get a lot of response to your question: it's kind of absurd.
When you fill out a rectangle with text, all text that doesn't fit will be omitted. That's why some people set the font size to 0. In this case, the font size will be adapted to make the text fit. I don't know if that's an option for you as you clearly state that the font size must be 15 pt.
If you can't change the font size, you shouldn't expect the AcroForm form field to adapt itself to the content. ISO-32000-1 is clear about that: the coordinates of a text field are fixed.
Your only alternative is to take control over how iText should fill the field. I made an example showing how to do this in the context of my book: MovieAds.java/MovieAds.cs. In this example, I ask the field for its coordinates:
AcroFields.FieldPosition f = form.GetFieldPositions(TEXT)[0];
This object gives you the page number f.page and a Rectangle f.position. You can use these variables in combination with ColumnText to add the content exactly the way you want to (and to check if all content has been added).
I hope you understand that:
it's only normal that there are no scroll bars on a flattened form,
the standard way of filling out fields clips content that doesn't fit,
you need to do more programming if you want a custom result.

I have the three following lines and the first two line gets all the images on the document and hides all, but then when I add the third line shows all the images.
What I need its to hide only the images with the attribute alt=minimize and alt=maximize but for some reason hides all the images.
$('img').attr('alt', 'minimize').css("display","none");
$('img').attr('alt', 'maximize').css("display","none");
$('img').attr('alt', 'logo').css("display","inline");
I am using IE7, but it should be compatible with IE6 and IE8.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
I'm thinking you are not using the attr function correctly, might you be looking for the attribute equals selector?:
$('img[alt=minimize]').css("display","none");
What you did with your code was,
Select all images
Change their alt attribute to 'minimize'
Hide them
Select all images
Change their alt attribute to 'maximize'
Hide them
Select all images
Change their alt attribute to 'logo'
Hide them
what you do: you take every img in document and set alt to logo and then set display: inline;.
Note, that attr('alt',string) doesn't filter all images to those with alt=string, but rather sets alt attribute to string on all images.
What you want to use is this:
$('img[alt="minimize"]').css...
$('img[alt="maximize"]').css...
$('img[alt="logo"]').css...
In the call $('img').attr('alt', 'logo').css("display","inline"); the "attr" doesen't filter the set of dom elements You catch with $("img").
If you want to hide everithing but not the image with the attribute 'alt' = 'logo' I think You can:
give it an Id of logo and then calling: $("img").not("#logo").hide()
from the jquery website:
hide():
The matched elements will be hidden
immediately, with no animation. This
is roughly equivalent to calling
.css('display', 'none'), except that
the value of the display property is
saved in jQuery's data cache so that
display can later be restored to its
initial value. If an element has a
display value of inline, then is
hidden and shown, it will once again
be displayed inline.
and
attr( attributeName )
Returns: String
Description: Get the value of an
attribute for the first element in the
set of matched elements.
If instead you want to hide all the maximize and minimize images (both share the "imize" part of the attribute):
$(parentElement).find("img[#attr $= '*imize']").hide()
OP is referring to
http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-values/#attr
alt I think is simply a string type, not "logo" whatever that is, that is not a data type.
try that. in fact, you can look up alt in the html5 img
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-img-element.html#the-img-element
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-img-element.html#attr-img-alt
http://www.w3.org/TR/html5/the-img-element.html#alt
(in order of reference clicking, last one is the target)
even if this isn't the exact answer (it should be), it should be a step in the right direction.
I am actually trying myself to figure out how to reference a css property within css with attr() - it's mentioned within the top URL. if I had my druthers, I could be using css calc() along with it, but that's draft. maybe I can get it to work...
