Auto Save Dcr

Hi All,

I am using the auto save , i am able to save the dcr but only issue is that it is saving under data folder. Is there any way we can save a dcr to a particular folder which we wish. i am using the following code :

function handle_save()
{
var nameval="12345";
IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(nameval,null);
IWDatacapture.save();
return true;
}

Second Question:

How can i add , a printer to the preview page on the top left corner and add a link i.e back to top at the bottom of the page.

- You can have subfolders under "data" folder. If that's what you are asking, setDCRName "path"
parameter should be relative to the current Type's data directory.

You can not save a DCR completely outside of /templatedata/category/type/data and expect it to
behave as DCR. In other words, if you want Forms Publisher to render your XML File as operational
DCR it must be placed somewhere under Type's "data".

- Your second question is somewhat unclear. Normally you preview what you've just generated. If you
want some custom Preview functionality that is not provided by the generated "page" itself you will
have to code for it. For example, you can generate slightly different code in "preview" and "generate"
modes or use IW Proxy to redirect to some customized rendition frameset etc...

Personally, I find an approach of "generate one thing but show something different to the author" dubious
at best. Ultimately you'll have to deploy your code to the Site. When this happens, the last thing you
want to hear is "but it looks different in CMS Preview!".

Hi , Thanks for the reply

i dont want to save the dcr outside data folder but if i have folder structure as /data/microsite/uk and i create a dcr in this folder,it should get saved in the folder uk instead of data

but with the present option it is getting saved in the date folder Smiley Sad

Check out the below code i have written for auto saving of record for our requirement. I also have saved the record in folder "Parent" or "Child" under data folder.

function autonaming(){

if(flagSave==0){
//if the form is not saved, save using the auto generated name
var name ="";
var type=IWDatacapture.getItem("/product_admin/type");
var typeValue = type.getOptions()[type.getValue()].value;
var countries = IWDatacapture.getItem("/product_admin/country").getValue();
var result = new Array();
result= countries.split(",");
for (var i=0;i var cnt=i+1;
IWDatacapture.getItem("product_admin/Sode_Country["+cnt+"]"+"/Scode").setReadOnly(true);
}
if (typeValue == "parent")
{
name = IWDatacapture.getItem("/product_admin/Product_name").getValue();
IWDatacapture.getItem("/product_admin/Product_name").setReadOnly(true);
IWDatacapture.getItem("/product_admin/type").setReadOnly(true);
IWDatacapture.getItem("/product_admin/content_type").setReadOnly(true);
IWDatacapture.getItem("/product_admin/name").setReadOnly(true);
name="Parent/"+name+"_"+typeValue;
}
else {
name = IWDatacapture.getItem("/product_admin/parent_product_name").getValue();
IWDatacapture.getItem("/product_admin/parent_product_name").setReadOnly(true);
IWDatacapture.getItem("/product_admin/type").setReadOnly(true);
IWDatacapture.getItem("/product_admin/content_type").setReadOnly(true);
IWDatacapture.getItem("/product_admin/name").setReadOnly(true);
childname=IWDatacapture.getItem("/product_admin/name").getValue();
childname=childname.toLowerCase();
childname = childname.replace(/ /g,"_");
name="Child/"+name+"_"+typeValue+"_"+childname;
}
flagSave=1;
return name;
}else{
return name;
}
}
//Function end here

Ok, I'll try one more time.

You can have subfolders under "data" folder...
setDCRName "path" parameter should be relative to the current Type's data directory.

Do you understand what that means?

I think you need the DCR save button to know where this DCR should be saved,based on the folder selection from navigation while you make "New Form Entry" instead of saving the DCR in the data folder.

If you want that thing, then when you select the folder under "data" folder and do "New Form Entry", then in the newly opened blank DCR, you have "vpath" parameter in the URL of the DCR that you can use for automatic folder name recognition for saving the DCR.

Hi All ,

i can get the path were i need to save but i am not sure how can i use it in the command IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(nameval,null);

as when i give the command as

IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(data/Path/name);

it again saves in the data folder with name being the full path of the dcr

i am not sure if i am giving the command right !!!!

I have below code that I have created for auto save.



IWEventRegistry.addFormHandler("onSaveValid", Custom_SaveDialogBox);

function getDCRNameFromPath(dcrFullPath)
{
 var idx = dcrFullPath.lastIndexOf("/");
 var dcrBaseName = dcrFullPath.substring(idx + 1, dcrFullPath.length);
 return dcrBaseName;     
}

function Custom_SaveDialogBox()
{
 var parameter="vpath";
 var DCR_location="";
 var loc = parent.location.search.substring(1, parent.location.search.length); 
   var param_value = false; 
    var params = loc.split("&"); 
   for (i=0; i<params.length;i++) 
 { 
       param_name = params.substring(0,params.indexOf('='));
       if (param_name == parameter)
  {
            param_value = params.substring(params.indexOf('=')+1);
       }
   }
   if (param_value)
 {
       DCR_location=param_value;
   }
   else
 { 
       DCR_location="";
   }
 var Save_URL="/iw-cc/command/iw.formspub.browse_for_save_form?ceiling="+DCR_location+"&hier_callback=top.opener.top.getDCFrame(opener).saveAsCallback&vpath="+DCR_location;
 origdcrName = IWDCRInfo.getDCRName();
 var dcrName = getDCRNameFromPath(origdcrName);
        /*If it's first time saving of the DCR, then we can have save dialog box as proper location, otherwise save it directly.*/
 if(dcrName=="" && origdcrName=="")
 {
  var SaveHandle = window.open(Save_URL, "", "width=600,height=400,status=no,toolbar=no,location=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,left=320,top=250");
 }
 else
 {
  IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(origdcrName,null);  
  IWDatacapture.save();
 }
}

Try to use code that you need from this code. Or if you still finding issue, then post your code. People can help you to find the issue.

IWDCRInfo.setDCRName(data/Path/name);

I believe (a) you need to quote the argument and (b) that the path argument should be relative-to 'data' not inclusive of it.

I.e. "Path/name" or "./Path/name"
