Can anyone please give me an idea on how to autocomplete input controls in XForms such that when a user begins typing words that begin that way appear?
Also how can I populate a control from the value of another control? Like in a drop down menu when a user selects a country name, the next field is automatically populated with that country's capital.
Country: Egypt
City: Cairo (City should appear automatically)
XForms itself does not provide autocomplete functionality, but Orbeon Forms implements such a control with XBL and JavaScript. Here is the documentation.
The control has multiple modes, but you typically use it this way:
<fr:autocomplete ref="country-name" dynamic-itemset="false">
<xforms:label>Enter a country name: </xforms:label>
<xforms:itemset nodeset="instance('all-countries')/country">
<xforms:label ref="name"/>
<xforms:value ref="name"/>
</xforms:itemset>
</fr:autocomplete>

I'm new to Magnolia, and I'm making my own module.
I have a dialog box when adding a component and I want to change next fields below dynamically using a select field.
Example:
Select field with {"type 1", "type 2", ...}
IF "type 1" is selected
->show a text field below
ELSE
->show a basicUpload field below
Thanks in advance.
I believe same was already discussed here and few other places if you look over questions tagged "magnolia".
Long story short, fields are atomic, independent entities. They do not know about each other. So the only way to create such dynamic connection is over "parent" form. You need to extend form presenter and field factory (if you want select that would be SelectFieldFactory) and in there, when field is created, attach value changed or similar listener to it so when value is changed in the field, you can inform presenter to make some other field visible or hide it.
IIRC you can see example of that done in External Forms module (if you have access to enterprise code). Not sure if any of the community modules show the same.
I'm looling for a way to change the text above the form in a same manner as the fields use the progressive profiling.
At the bottom of this page " http://www.pardot.com/faqs/forms/setting-progressive-profiling/ " it says:
If you would like to have multiple progressive questions per “phase” of the form then use the same logic as designated above for all fields in that “phase”.
But no further explanation or example is given ( if this even applies to the 'above form' text )
The text above (or below) the form can not be changed by actions in the form. Your best bet to change this text above the form is to use dynamic content, which only works on populated fields for known prospects when the page is loaded. Dynamic content is useless for anonymous visitors..
Multiple questions per 'phase' allows you to have several fields appear after a single selection. For example, you ask for 'delivery' preferences - email, download, mail - and the user selects 'mail' you can have a full contact field set appear.
I made a combobox using sap.m library:
var oSelection = new sap.m.ComboBox({
name: <name>,
id: <id>,
items: {
<items here>
})
},
});
Now, how do I make this field kind of read only, so when I tap it on mobile, it wouldn't bring up the mobile's keyboard, but it would bring up the selection options?
I've tried to use editable: false, but it disables the selection together with keyboard.
Thank you.
From what I could find out there's no method that allows such behaviour.
One option, that I personally would not advice, is to access the HTML DOM and disable the input field that composes the sap.m.Combobox component.
Keep in mind that if the development SAPUI5 changes the inner workings of the Combobox component your code could be broken if you update the SAPUI5 libraries.
This being said, to use this option you could do something like:
oSelection.onAfterRendering = function() {
if (sap.m.ComboBox.prototype.onAfterRendering) {
sap.m.ComboBox.prototype.onAfterRendering.apply(this);
}
document.getElementById("<id>-inner").disabled=true;
}
replace the < id>-inner by the correct id given to your component.
This was tested using version 1.22.8 of SAPUI5 development toolkit.
Use sap.m.Select instead of sap.m.ComboBox.
Select does not provide the ability to edit the field content.
In many instances the Select control can directly replace a ComboBox without any other changes to the properties or the items aggregation!
I have a custom object known as "Companies".I have created a lookup field in a Visual Force page which gives me the list of companies name from the custom object " Companies".I have written a code which makes this lookup field auto-complete like what you have seen in the image attached.(First pic)
The problem: I don't know how to make the lookup field (which takes the list of companies name from custom object" Companies" in "Opportunities" standard object) auto-complete as done in the visual force page. Basically want the field highlighted in yellow in the second picture to auto-complete or give relevant suggestion when I type the first few characters.
Any help on this matter would be appreciated. Thank you
Have you tied enabling Auto Complete for your custom object the search page?
Click Your Name | Setup | Customize | Search | Search Settings.
Check the Lookup Auto-completion check box for your object.
This will give you auto-complete options for recently used items.
http://help.salesforce.com/help/doc/en/search_lookupdialog.htm#auto_complete
You will not be able to embed this customization into a standard page layout like you're using for the Opportunity object in your second screenshot. If that auto-complete is a must-have, then you really only have two options:
Replace the entire Opportunity page layout with a custom VF page
Write a VF component with just the Company lookup field in it and embed it into your Opportunity page layout (this will have to be in its own section, which probably won't look as nice)
This is what you want - http://tapp.ly/autocomplete/
Autocomplete Lookups for Salesforce enables any Salesforce Lookup field to support autocomplete suggestions. Autocomplete Lookups helps your users enter lookup fields reducing data entry tasks and error rates.
Salesforce records suggested as you start typing
Search All fields (Standard Salesforce Lookups only let you search by the Name field)
Results can show any field (E.g. Case Subject rather than Case Number)
I'm making an InfoPath form which is tied to an Access database. I have a set of radio buttons where the user selects the software name corresponding to the form, but I store this in my database as a number (1, 2, or 3). In another view, I want them to be able to see the previously entered software name, but not be able to change this. Here are the two options I've thought of:
Create some rule that does prevents the user from changing this data
This seems like the natural approach for what I want to do.
Add a text field with a function mapping each number to the corresponding software
As the form is tied to the database, InfoPath wants all fields to be tied to a database value, which would require creating another database entry. I'm also having trouble finding an InfoPath function I can use to handle this mapping.
Change the radio box's variable to text values and make a text box in the new view, which can be made read-only.
I'd really prefer not to do this, as it will make things messier for other programs using this database value and seems wasteful, but if nothing else works, this seems do-able.
Is there some sort of rule/method I could use to make this radio button control read-only?
You can use conditional formatting to disable any control (including radio buttons).
To set your control to always be disabled do the following:
Right click on your control and select Conditional Formatting...
Click Add...
In the leftmost dropdown select The expression
type true() in the text field (this tells InfoPath to always apply this formatting)
Check the Disable this control checkbox.
Click OK and OK.
Note: You will need to do this for each of your radio buttons.
Also, for future reference: If you simply want to display the result of a function (such as in your second solution) you don't need to use a text box. You can use an expression box. An expression box is not necessarily linked to a field in the datasorce, so you won't need an additional column in your database for it.
