Editing web forms in 2.9B

[samuel_penn]

Hi all,

I've been using web forms in Alfresco 2.1, where the forms are defined in the Web Forms space in the data dictionary. Playing around with 2.9, I see that there is now a 'Forms' space in the Data Dictionary for ECM forms, and web forms seem to be created as part of a web project instead rather than creating them within the Data Dictionary.

However, I can't find how to edit an existing web form anymore. I can create one (using 'Create Web Form' in the 'Edit Web Project Wizard'), but I can't see how to edit one once it's been created.

Where is the web form configuration stored in 2.9, so I can have access to the xsd and xslt for the form so that I can modify them? I did think about deleting the form and recreating it, but I can't see a way of deleting the form either.

Thanks,
Sam.

Web Forms are still stored in Company Home -> Data Dictionary -> Web Forms (you may need to click through to the second page in the Data Dictionary). They can also be created via the Create/Edit Web Project wizard.

Thanks,

Oops. Yes, I hadn't noticed that the Data Dictionary now goes across two pages. I obviously need a new pair of glasses 😞

Thanks,
Sam.

In my 2.9B installation, the "Web Forms" space is missing from the "Data Dictionary" Folder. Might this have to do with the german localization? Also, can the "Data Dictionary" folder be renamed?

In my 2.9B installation, the "Web Forms" space is missing from the "Data Dictionary" Folder.

Have you installed the Alfresco Web Content Management (WCM) option ? During startup, a patch will add the "Web Forms" space to your Data Dictionary.

no, I didn't install the WCM package… all I need to do is provide some forms (templates) for HTML documents… do I need WCM for that?
