Get Form ID of an unsaved / unsubmitted form

nyeager
Is there an easy way to get the document / form ID of a form? Essentially, I'm trying to make a very simple app that, upon saving of the form, grabs the document ID and emails it to a user, so they can resume at a later date if they want. I feel like I'm probably missing something simple.

I've tried using the following under the save-draft button:

...
save
then navigate("<a href="http://mydomain.com/blah.php?id={xxf:document-id()}">http://mydomain.com/blah.php?id={xxf:document-id()}") 

That actually looks like it works, however the ID it submits does not match up to the ID of the actual form, it's some other value. 

Any ideas here?

Thanks!
Nick

The actual document id can be obtained with:

     xxf:instance('fr-parameters-instance')/document

We need an API for that:

Thanks for the reply and excuse my ignorance, but it sounds like there's not a quick way to grab this during a form runner event (save / nagivate) and pop it into the URL bar?

Ideally, I'm looking for an XPath value to use with 'navigate.'

Thanks!
Nick

With 4.6, you can place XPath in the `navigate` action. So yes, you can, e.g.:

    navigate(uri = "/foo/{xxf:instance('fr-parameters-instance')/document}/bar")

Re: Get Form ID of an unsaved / unsubmitted form

Hi Erik, sorry for the delays, I've done some digging and am attaching some relevant bits.

The code you mentioned above is what I actually had previously. When a user tries to save the form, they get an error dialog box:
"There was an error running the process. Please contact the application administrator."

The relevant lines in my properties-local.xml look like this:

<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.detail.buttons.*.*" value="save-draft pdf send"/>

<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.detail.process.save-draft.*.*" value='save 
then navigate(uri = "<a href="http://10.0.0.23/%7Bxxf:instance(%5C&#39;fr-parameters-instance%5C&#39;)/document%7D&#39;" target="_blank">http://10.0.0.23/{xxf:instance(\"fr-parameters-instance\")/document}")'/>


The traceback in the logs looks like the following: (Note, I've also tried difference combinations of quotes, unsuccessfully).

Any ideas?

I don't understand why your property has "" and all that. It certainly shouldn't! Try:

<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.detail.process.save-draft.*.*">
    save then navigate(uri = "http://10.0.0.23/{xxf:instance('fr-parameters-instance')/document}"
</property>

Nabble messed up with my message, and maybe it messed up with yours too ;) Either way the advice holds if you are using 4.6:

<property as="xs:string" name="oxf.fr.detail.process.save-draft.*.*">
    save then navigate(uri = "http://10.0.0.23/{xxf:instance('fr-parameters-instance')/document}"
</property>

This way you can avoid having to escape quotes.
