Each share task form has fields. Some of them use icon to provide help text. For example, bpm:workflowPriority, get it. I need to remove this one.
I found, that сode below generates icons, but i cant understand, where the field.help process is runned. How i can hide icons for fields?
<#macro renderFieldHelp field>
<#if field.help?? && field.help?length > 0>
<span class="help-icon">
<img id="${fieldHtmlId}-help-icon" src="${url.context}/res/components/form/images/help.png" title="${msg("form.field.help")}" tabindex="0"/>
</span>
<div class="help-text" id="${fieldHtmlId}-help"><#if field.helpEncodeHtml>${field.help?html}<#else>${stringUtils.stripUnsafeHTML(field.help)}</#if></div>
</#if>
</#macro>
Help icon shows-up by-default when you have a constrain on your field. For example priority is defined as
<!-- Priority for the workflow as a whole -->
<property name="bpm:workflowPriority">
<type>d:int</type>
<default>2</default>
<constraints>
<constraint ref="bpm:allowedPriority" />
</constraints>
</property>
<constraint name="bpm:allowedPriority" type="LIST">
<parameter name="allowedValues">
<list>
<value>1</value>
<value>2</value>
<value>3</value>
</list>
</parameter>
</constraint>
I think help icon is a good idea if you have some constrain on your filed and want your user to select correct values.
You have following options:
If you don't need constraints , remove it from your model. You can override bpm:xxxxxx constraints by extending base model
You can look at BPMEngine code and change the template which generate help icon
Help icon is generated with class "help-icon" like :
span class="help-icon"
SO you can override form.css and hide this span. Something like this will work:
.form-container .help-icon {
visibility: hidden;
}
But this will remove all help icons from all the share forms, unless you change form divs and add some intelligence in your css selector.
Hope this helps.

I am attempting to display a wrapped long text in an ObjectAttribute in an SAP UI5 application:
<List id="__listObjectAttributes" noDataText="Drop list items here" headerText="Shipping Information" items="{Shipments}">
<items>
<ObjectListItem id="__listItemShipments" title="{ShipmentTxt}">
<attributes>
<ObjectAttribute id="__attributeShipmentId" title="Shipment #" text="{Id}"/>
<ObjectAttribute id="__attributeShipmentCode" title="Shipment Code" text="{ShipCd}"/>
<ObjectAttribute id="__attributeShipmentLongText" title="Long Text" text="{LongText}" binding="{ShipmentLongText}"/>
</attributes>
</ObjectListItem>
</items>
</List>
The problem is, when the list is displayed the text is truncated instead of wrapped. I've been looking for ways to wrap the text in an ObjectAttribute, but to no avail.
I have found articles that say both "you can do it" and "you can't do it".
Possible: https://archive.sap.com/discussions/thread/3589475
Not possible: https://experience.sap.com/fiori-design-web/object-list-item/
If it is not possible to add this information to an ObjectAttribute, does anyone know a way to display the same information in a list that will accept wrapped text?
Solution
#Ran Hassid's answer was correct! Using a CustomListItem in combination with a SimpleForm was the best solution. Here is the code I ended up going with:
<List id="__listObjectAttributes" noDataText="Drop list items here" headerText="Shipping Information" items="{Shipments}">
<items>
<CustomListItem id="__listItemShipments">
<content>
<form:SimpleForm id="__formShipmentList" editable="true" layout="GridLayout" labelMinWidth="100">
<form:content>
<!--Id-->
<Label id="__labelShipmentId" text="Id"/>
<Text id="__textShipmentId" text="{Id}"/>
<!--Shipment Code-->
<Label id="__labelShipmentCode" text="Shipment Code"/>
<Text id="__textShipmentCode" text="{ShipCd}"/>
<!--Long text-->
<Label id="__labelShipmentLongText" text="LongText"/>
<Text id="__textShipmentLongText" text="{Longtext}" binding="{ShipmentLongText}"/>
</form:content>
</form:SimpleForm>
</content>
</CustomListItem>
</items>
</List>
Then I added the sap.ui.layout.form to the mvc:View to simplify the code:
<mvc:View xmlns="sap.m" xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc" xmlns:semantic="sap.m.semantic" xmlns:form="sap.ui.layout.form" controllerName="shipments.controller.ShipmentDetail">
I think that even if it is possible (I assume via css changes and so on) it is not recommended because it is not part of the ObjectAttribute interface. In order to achieve the same effect you can do one of the following:
Use CustomListItem instead of ObjectListItem and inside the content of it wrap a SimpleForm. The simple form layout should be grid layout because you want to position text next to the title in the same row. In the Text control you can put as longest string as you want and also control on the wrapping of it. So your code should look something like that (I didn't use binding but I assume you will know what to do in your code)
<List noDataText="Drop list items here" id="__list0">
<items>
<CustomListItem type="Navigation" id="__item1">
<content>
<sap.ui.layout.form:SimpleForm xmlns:sap.ui.layout.form="sap.ui.layout.form" xmlns:sap.ui.core="sap.ui.core" editable="true" layout="GridLayout" id="__form0" labelMinWidth="100">
<sap.ui.layout.form:content>
<sap.ui.core:Title text="Title" id="__title0" />
<Label text="Long Text" id="__label1" />
<Text text="Very long text with\nmultiple lines" />
<Label text="Other text" id="__label2" />
<Text text="Some text goes here" />
</sap.ui.layout.form:content>
</sap.ui.layout.form:SimpleForm>
</content>
</CustomListItem>
</items>
</List>
The second option is to use CustomListItem but with VBOX + HBOX. so you have a VBOX which wrap HBOX's and inside each HBOX you put title next to the text.
I recommend to go with the first approach because it's much more clear and responsive.
Good luck.
I would recommend using basic CSS to solve this issue.
XML-View:
...
<ObjectAttribute text="{aVeryLongText}" class="objectAttributeWrapper" />
...
CSS:
.objectAttributeWrapper * {
white-space: pre-line !important;
word-wrap: break-word !important;
}
This will even work if there are changes on the sap.m.ObjectAttribute Interface, since this CSS-Selector grabs all children of the element which we assigned the CSS class to.
Speaking from my experience this was a quick and stable solution. I had to extend a legacy app, where replacing the whole control would result in me needing to rewrite a whole controller.
Works like a charm and didnt break since 1.71.50
I have a table (sap.m.Table) and would like to change the header font to bold, but I'm unable to do that. Here is my code for one of the column definitions in my *.view.xml:
<Column xmlns="sap.m"
hAlign="Left"
width="17em"
>
<Text text="Vendor" />
</Column>
After looking at the API (sap.m.Text), I don't see a way to change the text style and I'm also new to UI5. Could someone point me to where to look for this?
sap.m.FormattedText
Another option is to use sap.m.FormattedText[api] with an inline tag <strong> within the htmlText value.
<Column ...>
<FormattedText htmlText="<strong>My Column</strong>" />
</Column>
Note
In XML, the character < needs to be escaped with <.
Browsers do not guarantee that the text within <strong> is always displayed in bold.
The <strong> element is for content that is of greater importance, while the <b> element is used to draw attention to text without indicating that it's more important. [source]
The element <b> is currently not supported by the FormattedText. On the other hand, <em> is supported to emphasize the text.
sap.m.Label
Instead of sap.m.Text, you can use sap.m.Label which supports "Bold" design.
<Column id="myColumn">
<Label labelFor="myColumn"
design="Bold"
text="..."
wrapping="true"
/>
</Column>
Additionally, enable the property wrapping (available since 1.50) in order to achieve the default behavior of sap.m.Text. Wrapping should be enabled for column headers as recommended by Fiori design guidelines:
Column Headers - Best Practices
Use controls that wrap [...]. Do not use controls that truncate.
Note: If the label is not labeling anything, please try with different controls like sap.m.FormattedText.
I found by chance that using <FormattedText> instead of <Text> creates bold headers. This works without (!) using any additional bold or strong markup in the htmlText of <FormattedText>.
So in your case you would go with:
<Column
hAlign="Left"
width="17em"
>
<FormattedText htmlText="Vendor" />
</Column>
Whether this works seems to be somewhat dependent on the SAPUI5 version and the theme in use.
It works for me on SAPUI5 1.108 with the default theme (no data-sap-ui-theme specified in index.html).
Try like in the Documentation
Create a custom CSS
Add your styleclass to the Control.
I want to place a text field in a matrix layout. Please check below code and please suggest how to check XML code errors? Every time I stuck in designing the XML code. Please suggest me how to overcome that.

<Page title="ytftfhgff">
<content>
<l:MatrixLayout layoutFixed="true" columns="4" width="600px" widths="150px,150px,150px,150px">
<l:MatrixLayoutRow>
<l:MatrixLayoutCell colSpan="4">
<Text text="Its a heading" />
</l:MatrixLayoutCell>
</l:MatrixLayoutRow>
<l:MatrixLayoutRow>
<l:MatrixLayoutCell>
<Label text="First Name"/>
</l:MatrixLayoutCell>

</l:MatrixLayout>
</content>
</Page>
</core:View>
Thanks in advance,

In general the errors logged by the XMLTemplateParser to the console should be understandable enough to get a basic idea of what's going wrong. In your case it is quite simple. The default namespace is set to "sap.m", i.e. the runtime tries to load the TextField control from that library. This cannot work as sap.m does not have a TextField control.
You can either use the Input control, i.e. replace TextField with Input. Or introduce an additional namespace:
xmlns:commons="sap.ui.commons"
and define the TextField in the following way:
<commons:TextField id="axscx" width="20em"/>
I would prefer using the Input field.
The forms engine in alfresco share seems to be a very powerful way for creating and editing new content objects. Is it possible to use this declarative configuration also for forms that don't directly correspond to repository objects?
The problem I'm trying to solve is a search mask for some custom properties. One of the search fields is for an aspect with a list constraint, and it would be great if alfresco could automatically create the corresponding select element and validations, like it does when editing the objects properties.
As an example, consider the following content model:
<constraints>
<constraint name="jh:listconstraint" type="LIST">
<parameter name="allowedValues">
<list>
<value>100</value>
<value>200</value>
<value>300</value>
</list>
</parameter>
</constraint>
<constraint name="jh:regexConstraint" type="REGEX">
<parameter name="expression">
<value>[a-z]{4}</value>
</parameter>
<parameter name="requiresMatch">
<value>true</value>
</parameter>
</constraint>
</constraint>
<aspects>
<aspect name="jh:test">
<properties>
<property name="jh:property1">
<title>Property 1</title>
<type>d:int</type>
<constraints>
<constraint ref="jh:listconstraint"/>
</constraints>
</property>
<property name="jh:property2">
<title>Property 2</title>
<type>d:text</type>
<constraints>
<constraint ref="jh:regexConstraint"/>
</constraints>
</property>
</properties>
</aspect>
</aspects>
The property sheet for a document having this aspect contains a nice drop down selection for the property with list constraint and automatic validation for the regex constraint. I would like to render the same input fields inside a custom dashlet, but handle the backend logic myself.
The target version would be alfresco 4.1.1.
I doubt there is a reasonable way to build up the search (form) based on type- or aspect definitions without severely hurting form CRUD-semantics and ugly FormsService hacks in the repo.
If you want to leverage Alfresco Forms, I would try an action-based form documented on the wiki at
http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Custom_Actions . You may still have to worry about dealing with value constraints and you may have to repeat yourself, but it should still give you a decent start.
i have a simple question.
Is there a simple config file or line that can be edited in order to achieve this:
I need that constraints from Alfresco content model have an empty field (like "unselected") in Advanced Search and Edit Metadata forms.
So a constraint of:
<constraint name="custom:customList" type="LIST">
<parameter name="allowedValues">
<list>
<value>first type</value>
<value>second type</value>
</list>
</parameter>
</constraint>
I need to view these in a "SELECT" form but with the first selection empty, like:
<select>
<value></value>
<value>first type</value>
<value>second type</value>
</select>
Hope I made that clear.
P.S. I don't want to insert a in the custom content model XML file. There should be another way to achieve this.
Thanks to all.
You need to override the presentation logic, i.e. customize or create a new form control template. The default one is implemented in selectone.ftl, you can customize it or start from it for a brand new control template which you can later assign to your metadata field in the forms configuration.
