Ap20.2 and Imagenow

Hello Kate,
You've been very quiet...

Fastest thing to do would be just change the .xml file for AP20.2 so that vendor name is a text field instead of an output only field. You just need to match up the right syntax, and away you go...until you recompile a new AP20.2.xml and you have to re-do it again, and again, etc. Or until your users ask you why when the "change the vendor name", it doesn't really change the vendor name...

To do it the "correct" way assumes you have Design Studio. (technically you can do this without it, but you wouldn't be able to maintain it...) What I would do is "delete" the existing vendor name field using Design Studio. Then add a text box and bind its data source to vendor name. To prevent users from entering into it, use JavaScript in the OnBeforeTransaction event to set the .style attributes to disabled so that it becomes an output only field, but for the purposes of your ImageNow integration, it's an entry field.

Keep in mind that as you install CTPs and MSPs, Design Studio forms do require maintenance. It's not a free lunch.

Thanks John I'll try the delete and add terxt box in design studio

Ok John. Your suggestion to delete the output vendor name field and add a text box with the vendor name as a datasource worked. Added text 86 and Imagenow learn mode can see it now but being javascript impaired I have no clue on how to prevent entry into this field. Below is the scripting that is already in design studio on the script tab.

Thanks for you help

// following script is to get image from imagenow
Vendor = ""
var Invoice = ""
var row =""


function grabAllFormValues()
{


Company = lawForm.getFormValue("text1", 0);
if (Company == '')
{
alert("Cannot display image without a valid Company value on the form.");
return;
}
Vendor = lawForm.getFormValue("text7", 0)
if (Vendor == '')
{
alert("Cannot display image without a valid vendor value on the form.");
return;
}
while (Vendor.charAt(0)==" ")
{
var VendorLength=Vendor.length;
Vendor = Vendor.slice(1,VendorLength);
}
}


function BUTTON_OnClick(id,row)
{
// if button is 'push12', be sure we have an Invoice("text12")
if (id == "push12")
{
Invoice=lawForm.getFormValue("text12");
if (Invoice == "")
{
alert("Please enter a Invoice number");
lawForm.positionInFieldById("text12");
return false;
}
}
return true;
}



function DisplayImageWeb()
{
grabAllFormValues();
BUTTON_OnClick();
// alert("Company is " + Company)
// alert("Vendor Number is " + Vendor)
// alert("Invoice Number is " + Invoice)
imgAddress = "http://edison9080/webnow/index.jsp?action=filter";
// imgAddress = "http://m-imagenow/webnow/index.jsp?action=filter&username=anonymous&password=1";
//imgAddress = imgAddress + "drawer= AP Primary";
imgAddress = imgAddress + "&drawer=";
imgAddress = imgAddress + "&folder=" + Vendor;
imgAddress = imgAddress + "&tab=" + Invoice;



imgWindow=window.open(imgAddress,"invoiceWindow","location=yes,menubar=no,resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,titlebar=yes,toolbar=yes,status=yes");
imgWindow.focus();
return true;
}

Put this in OnAfterTransaction()
var txtInvoice = lawForm.getFormElement("text86")
if (txtInvoice) {
txtInvoice.disabled = true;
}

You did mean to place in FORM_OnBeforeTransaction(fc) not AFTER transaction right?

Anyway that's where I put it and the Imagenow applet see the name and it works. You're the best

Thanks

Kate
