I think the Form Builder looks really cool. I tried to bring up a test form. I found that on my machine only the "Close" and Clear buttons seem to be enabled. Save icon, Test button and Publish Button do not work!
Again, it could be me!

Again, great job, guys!!

However, don't hesitate to send in (constructive) criticism, it will  
be very welcome.

We will have documentation on integration soon. We have most of the  
doc on integration, but it's not online yet.

Ilango,

Thanks! Regarding saving, you need first to enter form metadata. Until  
you have done that, you can't save it, test it or publish it. It's  
something we have to make clearer, obviously.

In reply to this post by ilango_g
Ilango,

Form Builder / Form Runner have a few goals:

* Making building simple forms really easy.

* Reducing the amount of boring work: creating boilerplate code,  
typing in placeholders for control labels and the likes, dealing with  
basic CSS, etc.

* Making  available out of the box an architecture that goes beyond  
XForms, in particular to handle persistence, attachments, i18n, form  
layout, etc. This so you don't have to reinvent the wheel all the time.

So I would say not to worry: Form Builder is meant to handle the  
basics for now, and more complex forms and behaviors will still  
require some hand-coding. However, as we go, the plan is to integrate  
the most common usage patterns.

Thanks!
Under Form Metadata, I entered values for Application name and Form Name. Is there anything else I need to enter as far as Metadata is concerned. Obviously to me, it looks like I need to go Under Advanced,  I need to do things like Upload Schema, Upload CSS,etc, before the disabled buttons for Save, Test, etc become enabled?

You also need the form title. Just these 3 piece of data should be  
enough.

Thanks a lot. Yes, we can now all retire ;-)

More seriously, Form Builder does not yet do everything, so there is 
still room for programmers. But we have a long list of features we 
would like to add. However for now, the priority is polishing so we 
can get a beta and then a 1.0 out.

performance tuning orbeon

Alex Sharaz
In reply to this post by Markku Laine
Can someone point me at some performance tuning docn for orbeon. I have it
installed and working quite happily but whenever i fire up an application it
takes an age for the start page to appear in the web browser. I don't mind
waiting but if i have real uses out there using the stuff a 20 sec delay
before they can start using an app is not on. The server it's on isn't
really doing anything else other than running a resin java app server

I entered the following for metadata:

1) Application Name
2) Form Name

and on the right hand side, I entered
1) Form Title
2) Uploaded a gif
3)Form description (optional...but I entered some text in there)
4)Section Name
5)Label
6) The other control to the right.  

I still cannot Save or Test.

I just figured it out... for some reason you have to press the change
button twice for each field, so it goes away, then you can save.

Alex,

* What do you mean by "fire up an application"?
* What version of Orbeon Forms is this?

Also, have you had a look at:

I can't use b5 because it's hopelessly broken for me, so I still use  
b4. I don't know if that has anything to do with it. Would you happen  
to have another, non-IE browser around to see if you get the same  
behavior?

Re: Re: Announcing Orbeon Form Builder

Hugues Malphettes
I have firefox3-b5 on linux-kubuntu and it is working for me.
My naive observations:
Sometimes it takes a while to have the save button enabled.
Make sure all your changes are committed: no more "Change or Cancel
embedded widgets".
Tweak something else in the form than the 3 necessary fields.

I hope this helps.
Hugues.

Re: Re: Re: Announcing Orbeon Form Builder

Thilo Schuler-2
Hi guys!

I have already praised the new form builder in a comment on the blog.
Again, fantastic stuff.

Found out what the reason for my problems with saving and testing the
form was: Metadata (application and form name) must not include
spaces! The also required form title can have spaces. Once you get rid
of the spaces in the metadata PLUS do one more update action in
another part of the form, it should be possible to save and run the
form.
You see that your metadata entry is invalid if the 'must be non-empty'
line doesn't disappear.

Here is one layout oriented  observation for the admired developers:
The longer text of the toolbar buttons e.g. 'Single-Line Text' is cut
off and not fully displayed: This happens with Firefox 2.0.0.14 both
on Mac OS X and Win XP. With Firefox 3b on Mac OS X this does not
happen.

Cheers, Thilo

Thilo,

Thanks again!

Great to see that this is now working for you. We will be working in  
making this metadata stuff nicer and clearer.

Thanks for the bug report on the toolbar width. We will try to fix  
this soon.
