New Tagging GUI and FormAPI

GriffTheDog

TeamSite 6.7.1 Sp1 patch 1
Windows 2003

If the onFormInit event is on the Tagging GUI page then the onFormInit function doen't get ran about 1 in every 50 times the Tagging GUI is opened/refreshed.
Example:
[HTML]
<script>
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", init);

function init(){
var virtualPath = IWDatacapture.getItem("/metadata/DCR/virtualPath");
vpathprod.setReadOnly(true);
}
</script>
[/HTML]

If the onFormInit event is included from a separate location the onFormInit function doesn't get ran about 1 in every 10 times the Tagging GUI is opened/refreshed.
Example:
[HTML]
<script src="/iw-mount/default/main/administration/WORKAREA/administration/javascript/tag.js" language="javascript" type="text/javascript" location="webserver"/>
[/HTML]

There are no errors returned and FormAPI works fine after the page loads. I can even call the init function from the click of a button.

Can anyone else recreate this?

This doesn't happen on the DCT, just the new Tagging GUI.

The code you posted is erroneous since you define a var called virtualPath and then dereference an undeclared variable called vpathprod.

However, assuming that is just a typo in the forum posting - I'd suggest you contact Support and open a case with them (provide them as simple a MDC / DCT with FormAPI code as you can to facilitate their being able to reproduce the problem in-house)

It was a typo on my part.

Post should have been:
[HTML]
<script>
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", init);

function init(){
var virtualPath = IWDatacapture.getItem("/metadata/DCR/virtualPath");
virtualPath.setReadOnly(true);
}
</script>
[/HTML]

Support was contacted last week, but they are being very quiet. I was curious if we are the only ones that have had this issue.

Delay init a little. Like that (it's a hack though)

[HTML]<script><br>IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", init);<br><br>function init() {<br> if ((typeof top.gIsInitialRender=="undefined") || (top.gIsInitialRender==true))<br> setTimeout("init()", 500)<br> else<br> custom_init();<br>} <br>function custom_init() {<br> var virtualPath = IWDatacapture.getItem("/metadata/DCR/virtualPath"); <br> virtualPath.setReadOnly(true);<br>}<br></script>[/HTML]

I appreciate your reply, but since onInitEvent gets missed, the if statement wouldn't run and custom_init() function wouldn't get called.

since onInitEvent gets missed...

In my experience onInit Event is never missed. It just fires too soon.

"Form initiated" and "Form Loaded" are two different things in TS. Chances are, your getItem fails onInit simply because
an item is not there yet, I saw that many times.

Thank you for taking time to look at this!

In terms of a DCT I would agree with you, but to test for what you are saying I wrote:
[HTML]
function init(){
alert("test");
}
IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onFormInit", init);
[/HTML]

Sometimes the alert pops up and sometimes it doesn't.

Hi guy,

Good day.

I have understood that this issue has been reported to our support. May I know what is the case no?

Thanks.

Warmest regards

Hi Dog,

I've been having this really annoying problem also. FOr me, it doesn't seem to matter whether its inline or in an external JS script. It will go through periods of displaying the alert, and then not display it for ages.

DO you have a support # for this?

Thanks,

Did anyone find a solution to this problem? I'm experiencing the same issue with the onFormInit event not loading in the next generation tagger. Thanks.
