suga_sugam — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 09:33:34 GMT

Hi , I have created Web Form with Some text boxes and Path Option. While the Author Selects the Path Option that path option should be used as my destination to store my xml file. I have given below my Web Form and the Output Path which i formed during Web Form Creation Steps.——————————————————

May be this will work:

/${webapp}/pages/static/${xml['navigation/path']}.${name}.${extension}‍

Hi I use the same approach to let the user select the location of the content.
But I'm using version labs 3b and get this error:
when I create a content at the last step, clicking on "NEXT" in the summury page I see the Location: I've selected in the filePicker.
The problem is that after that I'm not able to change the value of the Location any more, nor clicking "back" to edit again the form, nor saving the content and the edit it again .
Any suggestion ?

I just found out the following:

Say there is the following xml document:
<menu:menu>
<common:language>en</common:language>
</menu:menu>

- for the output path of a form namespaces do not work (eventhough the xml document has namespaces) and should not be used, the following works fine:
/${webapp}/${xml['menu/language']}/home/${name}.xml

- My impression is that for the output path of the rendition the namespaces must be used (if the xml document has namespaces ofcourse):
/${webapp}/${xml['menu:menu/common:language']}/home/${name}.xml

The following post gives also very good information:

I also posted some examples which may be useful - http://www.benh.co.uk/alfresco/web-forms-xforms/referencing-an-xml-element-within-an-output-path/.
