• How to show/hide conditional text on the text selected with the FDK API

  Hello!

  Do you know how to show/hide conditional text in a selected text using the FDK API? I managed to do it on the whole document, but I need to do on specific selected text...

  Thanks in advance,

  Stefano

  Hi Stefano,

  This is not possible, the conditions are the properties of the document and cannot be changed from visible to hidden or v.v. for the full document.

  If you really need a more detailed method, you must create a separate condition for the selected text.

• Strange behavior hide conditional text

  We use FrameMaker (informal) 12 on Windows 7 (64-bit) platform.

  I have a strong frame and paragraphs which together form a conditional text block:

  Graph of the small icon in an anchored frame aligned to the left margin.

  Paragraph of body text (this text revolves around the image of the small icon)

  Paragraph of body text (this text is less than the image of the small icon, aligned to the left margin)

  1 list Num 1 paragraph (aligned against the left margin)

  2. the list Num + paragraph (aligned against the left margin)

  3 list Num + paragraph (aligned against the left margin)

  I block everything described above and apply a conditional tag.

  When I hide conditional text, 100% conditional text disappears, except:

  • '1.' which is part of the AutoNumber format for paragraph LLA list Num 1. (The text of the paragraph list Num 1 disappears as it should.)
  • The anchor point for the small icon embedded chart frame.

  '1.' and the anchor seem to be glued to each other, when I try to hide conditional text. (They separated by two paragraphs of body text before hiding conditional text).

  Anyone has any ideas on what's going on?

  Thanks in advance,

  
  Tim

  Make sure you have your list of text symbols and select the end of the paragraph under the condition mark of all. You probbly it missed for the last item ListNum, so when you set it to hide he returned to 1.

  See this thread for a similar problem: hide conditionalized text causes listed above show the additional list item

• Captivate: Using Javascript to show/hide captions text

  Hello

  I want to show/hide a legend of text using javascript. I can't find the way to do it with advanced actions. I don't know if it's because it belongs to a question slide in a pool. Anyone know if this is possible and how this can be done?

  There is nothing wrong with your English - no need to apologize :-)

  I just tested it. Seems to work for me to create a tip action that will show my custom legend if I set a variable of personalized tour. Rather than xplain, I have attached a word with some screen shots doc and an example of file CPTX. File is Captivate 5, but even should work in 5.5

• Please help - show/hide conditional and Message boxes also E-mail questions

  I have created a dynamic to complete XML form which is a survey on page 14.  It has a series of yes/no radio buttons that hide/show additional questions.  The investigation must perform several other functions as well.  Ten questions are mandatory, that I put in the object palette.  If a user selects "No" to one of these ten questions, an additional page should appear at the end of the investigation, they end.  Currently, if a user selects 'No' appears the extra page, but if the user changes a response "" for the "Yes" of the page doesn't go away.  The script that I have for this is the following:

  If (Comp1No.selectedIndex == 2

  || Page4.Comp2.Comp2No.SelectedIndex == 2

  || Page5.COMP3.Comp3No.SelectedIndex == 2

  || Page6.Comp4.Comp4No.SelectedIndex == 2)

  (keep the same model at 10)

  {

  CorrectiveAction.presence = "visible";

  }

  else {}

  CorrectiveAction.presence = 'hidden ';

  }

  
  The user will submit the survey by clicking on a "Send by E-mail" button at the bottom of the form.  I need add action preSubmit who reviews responses to the ten mandatory questions and returns a message to the user stating "You must complete a Correction Action Plan" if one answer is 'no '.  I have currently a mailto:[email protected] in the object tab palette submit to submit it to the URL: field and PDF in the field send in as long as I need a pdf of the document copy returned to me attached to the e-mail.  Finally, I would like to make the page corrective measures an element required if one of the answers to the required questions are 'No', but do not know how to do conditional mandate as responses from the user are all 'yes' of the remedy is not compulsory.

  Can you give me any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  I have no HTML programming, or help Javascript knowledge and I am a tent to fumble my way through this project help, forums and any other information source available.  Thank you.

  I looked at the form and found something...

  You reference the Pages as Page3, Page4, Page5 etc. in your code... But in reality you donot have a subform named page 3 / page 4 / page 5 in your form. If you look at the attached schema, you will understand that in the hierarchy, he resembled Page3 but if you look at the Script Editor in your code for the event, you can see the actual reference to the Yes option button.

  Real path for Comp1Yes button: #subform [2].Comp1.Comp1Yes::mouseUp of form1.

  You referenced in your code like: Page3.Comp1.Comp2No.selectedIndex == 2...

  To make your code work, you must change the subform to Page3 / Page4 etc.

  Go to the Menu window - > hierarchy and select "(Untitled Subform) (Page3)" and press F2. " Change the name on page 3. Do the same for each page that you have in your form... Can you select the Comp1Yes button and you should see the correct path in the Script Editor.

  Form1.page3.COMP1.Comp1Yes::MouseUp

  In this way, you can refer to page 3 / page 4 etc. in your code.

  

  I would like to know if that helps...

  Thank you

• Show/hide Post text element

  APEX 3.2
  
  Hello! I have a question on a form page for which I added Post text element. Basically, it's a clickable "email icon" next to the LOV, who should appear only when the LOV is set to "Qualified", otherwise it should be hidden. So far, it seems to work in Firefox very well, but does not at all in IE or Chrome. Any ideas?
  
  Name of goods: P206_SEV1_STATUS
  Point Type: Select the list
  Attributes of the HTML Form element: onchange = "toggleItem ('Sev1Mail'); »
  After the text of the element:

  <span id="Sev1Mail"><a href="javascript:popUp2('f?p=&APP_ID.:331:&APP_SESSION.::NO::P331_HIDDEN,P331_FROM_PAGE:&P206_ITEM_ID.,206',800,600);"<img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#mail_16.gif" alt="Sev1 Email" title="Send Sev1 Email"></a></span>

  In the header HTML of the page, I've defined:

  <script type="text/javascript">
  <!-- 
  
  function toggleItem(pThis){
      var l_obj = document.getElementById(pThis);
  
      if ($v('P206_SEV1_STATUS') == 'Qualified'){       
             $x_Show(l_obj);
      }
      else{
          $x_Hide(l_obj);
      }
    return true;
  }
    
  //-->
  </script>

  Note: for some reason when I posted this thread, he removed href = 'javascript...' "in my Post above Text HTML element.

  Hello

  At least in post, you don't have good game HTML. You're missing > after a href tag
  I think it should be

  <span id="Sev1Mail"><a href="#"><img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#mail_16.gif" alt="Sev1 Email" title="Send Sev1 Email" /></a></span>
  

  Also JavaScript can be a bit shorter as

  <script type="text/javascript">
  function toggleItem(pThis){
   if ($v('P206_SEV1_STATUS')=='Qualified'){
    $x_Show(pThis);
   }else{
    $x_Hide(pThis);
   }
  }
  </script>

• Show / hide the text box drop-down list database

  Hi all

  First time post here - wahoo!  :-)  Brand new user of LiveCycle, and so far I'm loving - very cool app!  I am a bit puzzled, however, and hoping someone can help...

  I am using LiveCycle version 8.05 and try to build a form that has a drop-down list with departments in our Organization.  If the user selects the elements 1-5 on my list, I want two other fields at autopopulated (one for the Admin Assistant) and one for Dept Head.  If however the user selects 'Other', I want a text box (it will be hidden the rest of the time) where the person will be able to type in the Department they work for.  For now, I'm only interested on getting the box 'Other' to appear; I'll worry about the other stuff later.

  Elsewhere in my form, I have a functioning drop-down list that displays a text based on the selection field; However, for some reason this logic does not work with the situation described above.

  My code for the working text field is (in JavaScript)

  var
  
  (sNewSel)
  case "1": 
  switch
  {
  
       TextField6.rawValue = "My text is in here";
  break;
  case "2":
  
  
  
  = "My second text is in here ";
  
  
  break;
  "3":
  
  case 
  
  = "My third text is in here.";
  break;
  TextField6.rawValue
  
  default:
  }
  break;
  
  
  TextField6.rawValue 
  
  
  sNewSel = this.boundItem(xfa.event.newText);
  

  After many fruitless hours yesterday, I got only to the extent where the code below; This was more or less copied right out of a post here.  When I click on the drop-down list, select 'Other', the text field is displayed.  I tried the definition of the text field to the times 'Hidden' and 'Visible' through properties of the object, but no luck.  I tried to use IF statements, subforms and anything else I could think of but am getting nowhere.

  var nSubLength = Subform1.nodes.length;
  var 
  sSelectField 
  for
  
  {if
  {switch (xfa.event.newText) 
  (case "6":
  Subform1.nodes.item(nCount).presence
  break
  default:
  Subform1.nodes.item(nCount).presence
  break
  }
  }
  }
  ;
  = "invisible";;= "visible";((Subform1.nodes.item(nCount).className == 
  "field") &(Subform1.nodes.item(nCount).name== sSelectField)) 
  (var nCount = 0; 
  nCount < nSubLength; 
  nCount++) sSelectField = fieldList.rawValue;
  = sSelectField.replace(' ', '');

  Any ideas?  This is very new to me, but I am familiar with other programming languages, and something this simple should not be difficult which leads me to think I'm missing something.

  Thanks in advance

  It was easier to create a sample for you... Please see the attachment.  I think that's what you want.

• Book and conditional text Tags file do not match

  With Framemaker 10 (CT 3, Windows 7 64-bit), when I click on a document in a book (& view > show/hide conditional text), there is no such thing as an additional conditional text tag that appears in the text document show/hide conditional.

  For example:

  1. In the book, My Book.book, I select Chapter1.fm (but do not open).
  2. Then I opened the group Show/Hide conditional text (view > show/hide conditional text)
  3. I see these two tags, text to hide and HideTextcondition. I use text hide but not HideText.
     • Apparently, at some point, I changed the name of the condition tag.
  4. I have to open Chapter1.fm.
  5. When I open the Panel of text show/hide conditional , HideText is not there.

  What I want to do is to remove HideText (that I don't use), but I can't find how to court. any ideas out there?

  A little more information that might help to understand what is happening:

  1. I select Chapter1.fm in the book.
  2. Then I select view according to the condition in the group Show/Hide conditional text .
  3. Select the hide field HideText .
  4. Click the left arrow (<-) to move the field to display HideText .
  5. Click apply.
  6. I get this error message in the book error log:
  • Cannot display the following tags because they do not exist in the present document

  So, can someone tell me how to get rid of HideText from files of the book?

  Thank you!

  John N.

  John,

  With only the open book file, even if one of its documents is selected, the show/hide box lists all the conditions in the book. The error message says you that the selected document does not have this tag. Thus, some other documents in the book has the label or that you think that you have changed the name in the past and he is still in the book file to.

  So first, I'd follow the suggestiong of Sheila #4. Save the BOOK as mif. Open the mif with a text editor. Search for the following sequence of lines:

  <>

  .

  .

  .

  > end # ConditionCatalog

  Remove these lines and save the file. Now open the mif file in FrameMaker and save it as a FrameMaker book (in the record dialog, don't forget to remove the string ".mif" at the end of the file name or image will complain). The book was updated. FrameMaker will then create a new catalog of condition in the book based on conditions in the files of the book.

  If the condition is still there, then you need to find the document that contains still. You can use the Find function to search for conditional text with just this condition.

• Can I export only conditional text 'show' for a mif?

  When I export a document with conditional text to a pdf file, just the conditional text which has the value 'show' (and the unconditional text) appears in the pdf file.  It's good, but I want the same thing when you export a mif.  There are two reasons for this:

  (1) we have an internal tool that analyzes a mif and retrieves the data in some tables to fill a database.  The tool is not analyze PDF files.  And the tool does not always correctly, manage conditional text lines conditional in particular the table text.  The tool will work fine if the conditional text was already "solved" when exporting to the mif.

  (2) I would use the Boolean logic for conditional text, which is available in FM9 but I need to supply files to other groups in society who use FM7.  Their FM7 wouldn't show conditional text correctly if it depends on nothing else than to the logic of the GOLD.  But they would be happy to accept files mif which had no conditional text because it had been "resolved" when I generated a file mif7 for them.

  I tried different ways to convert a pdf into a mif file, but no process seems to preserve the formatting and text editable. I'd be ready to accomplish this somehow roundabout on Framemaker, Acrobat Pro or another tool.

  But the happiest result for me would be to discover that FM9 already has the ability to export only the conditional 'show' and the text unconditionally to a mif.

  Or is it possible to make a copy of the document and then somehow automate the removal of conditional text 'hide' and 'show' unconditional conditional text conversion?

  doc_engineer,

  You could manually delete the conditions hidden from the files before the Save as MIF, by choosing the option remove all text hidden as well. If you want to completely automated, however, you need to perform some shows, in which case I would recommend setting your post-processing tool in order to recognize the conditional text correctly, rather than make FM do something which is less-than-optimal, IMHO.

  Your best bet of all would be to abandon the MIF format altogether and use a structured XML author, with which you can use for the conditional metadata attribute values. With this, you could also abandon the model of FrameMaker condition for a much more robust system of conditionalizing content tag. It would be more flexible and certainly easier to design the post-processing step, as there are many tools available for the treatment of XML metadata and the ability to analyze the attribute values is commonplace among them.

• Has anyone seen this error of conditional text: show/hide is incompatible?

  When I generate my book file, I get the following error in the log:

  Show/hide hidden is incompatible.

  Does anyone have any suggestions on how to troubleshoot and resolve this problem?

  Thank you

  Janie Gulley

  FrameMaker assumes that when you export a book, you would like conditional text to shown the same way across all documents in the book. It warns you if it is not so.

  "Show/hide hidden is incompatible" means that the hidden state is not configured the same throughout your book. For example, it can be displayed in some documents but hidden in others, or an indicator of Condition red in some texts, but blue in others.

  To resolve this problem:

  1. Select a document in your book where the conditional text settings are correct and open.
  2. Click on the book and type Ctrl + A to select all the documents in it.
  3. Choose file > import > Formats. Import the Formats dialog box appears:
     1. Click deselect all.
     2. Check the conditional text settings .
     3. Click import.

  All the documents in your book have now the same conditional text as your chosen document settings.

• Show/hide text caption

  I want to hide a text caption when the user enters the screen but want to display when the user clicks on a box of click for the third time (maximum attempts). How can I do this? Advanced actions or JS. Help, please. *

  Hello and welcome to the forum,

  Possible with advanced actions, have several examples on my blog.

  This will be the workflow:

  1. Create a variable user v_counter, if the user cannot return to the slide, not need to initialize it when entering the slide, because if there is no initial value starts at 0
  2. Create the text of the legend TCWarning and set it to invisible in the properties panel
  3. create a conditional advanced action to be triggered by the success of the click box event; don't know what version of CP you use:
     1. increment the counter - CP5/5.5 in a simulated standard action that will be the first decision "Increment":
        • IF 1 is equal to 1
        • THEN Expression v_counter = v_counter + 1
     2. Check the value of the counter in a second decision 'Show '.
        • IF v_counter is equal to or greater than 3
        • SEE the TCWarning

• Click a button to show/hide text

  Hi all

  I would like to create a HELP button. This means when I run the labview, just click this button then it will show a text that I wrote before. Click again to hide the text.

  Is there any Vi to do this?

  Thank you in advance!

  There is no available for this readymade VI. You can use the visible property.

  This is my idea

  ---------------------------------------

  1. first create the Boolean command

  2. create indicator string (to display the string)

  3 when the Boolean control of press user visible string (must use the visible property) and vice versa.

• Books of fusion and OCD using conditional text

  Hi all

  I'm trying to merge four books with similar content in one book by using conditional text.

  Instead of going to and comparing the three output files (pdf) one by one, I went through and tried to compare the documents/chapters in each book one by one. I applied the conditions for text added or deleted accordingly (it was a shortcut, and I know, not really advisable). But the problem I am facing now is that the table of contents do not work, if I try the technique of comparison.

  My question is, are at - it another way to merge several books and their tables of contents in one only book and table of contents, other than each chapter line-by-line reading and apply conditional text tags to associated content?

  Any help would be appreciated!

  Thank you

  RG

  Post edited by: Rashmi gourn Hello... anyone? No help is available for conditional tagging in Framemaker, AFAIK. Wait for some sort of answer from the experts here... Kind regards

  Simply create a new book file that contains all the files (with the exception of the generated - including the table of contents). Then create the appropriate - including the TOC generated files. You can import the existing formatting from the relevant files generated in an other books.

• Guidelines for the use of conditional text

  I'm looking for instructions on the use of conditional text. Our company has grown, and that the range of products has increased, the number of conditional text tags has increased. We are up to 30 tags and continues to grow. I was struck my colleague to start breaking this system a bit, because I'm afraid, it becomes a House of cards. Colleague has been 20 years and grew up with the system - it's the only one that it is used. He sees nothing wrong with it. The tags are in its abbreviation. When I mentioned that everybody don't would not new understand them, his response was that they would teach them eventually. Also, it's starting to get to the point where some sentences are be mislabeled, causing many errors.

  Are there guidelines I refer who say in the use of conditional text is too large so that it's not just my word? 

  
  

  Milmacrose

  You might want to take a look at Matt Sullivan & Sarah O'Keefe book (edition Fundamentals - unstructured FrameMaker 11; Chapter 24) for some background information on the consequences of the use of the multiple conditional tags. Depending on what your choice (i.e. to hide or show content based on the condition tag), you can get in very complex situations with some items possibly requiring each combination of tags applied to prevent display (or display) as needed. Even with simple simple conditional tags, it can reach a very large number of unique tags required (mathematically, you are summing a series of combinations). For example, [as used in the Book], given a product in Light versions, Standard and Pro with specific online requirements & Print for Mac, Windows and Unix, there are 32 conditional tags applied correctly. If you have content that should appear in a few versions, it climbs easily up to 47 unique tags. You'd be better trying to herd a bunch of cats in a field of grass cat...
