Are there parameters on the URL to create a new form that I can use to specify the application name, form name, title and description or maybe a POST request with parameters?
I want to avoid the initial dialog asking for these things or at least pre-populate it. Something like: http://localhost:8080/orbeon/fr/orbeon/builder/new?appname=cpf&formname=test&title=A%20form thanks. |

Hi Brian, No, there isn't. But it wouldn't be hard to do. Can you tell us more about the use case you have in mind for this?

Our application manages a lifecycle and versions for templates so we are launching the builder from our application after specifying the form name and title, the application name is always the same and this is mapped to our persistence implementation. Currently we don't use the description. So when a user creates a new form we already know the parameters for it and just want to show the builder ready to design the form. thanks, brian... |
Additional info.
Our current integration with Orbeon 3.9 does do this (no dialog for the form template metadata) but this was done by hacking /orbeon/src/resources/forms/orbeon/builder/form/model.xml to use the request parameters instead of presenting the dialog. I'm trying my hardest to make our new integration work with your standard binary distribution of orbeon so i don't have such a difficult task to keep it up to date. So the process of customisation of the orbeon source and building our own version is not going to happen here any more. I suspect that to support what we need would be a reasonably simple change in model.xml to use the request parameters if they are specified or otherwise just run with the current behaviour. Thanks. |

Hi Brian, Makes sense, and striving to avoid custom changes to the Orbeon Forms source is laudable. We'll discuss this internally, and will follow-up with you here.

Hi Brian, We've discussed about this, and think it is small enough that we can just shoot for doing this for 4.10. (There guarantee, but we'll do our best.) You'll let me know if there is anything that I didn't get quite right in the RFE: Alex On Mon, May 25, 2015 at 11:20 PM, Alessandro Vernet <[hidden email]> wrote:
