Hi Alexey,

This is now fixed. The fix will be in the next nightly builds, and for reference here are the commit and bug:

https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/commit/3af69f7a63f17a9020aef18709740ecba89f9f89

I've never been able to get save-locally to work.

It has failed to work on all the versions that I've used - 3.9.0 CE, 3.9.0 PE, and 3.9.1 PE.

The error can be easily reproduced by adding the following to a new form:
            <fr:buttons>
                <fr:save-locally-button/>
                <fr:save-button/>
                <fr:close-button/>
            </fr:buttons>

The button appears as it should. And when clicked, it adds a disk icon just like the save button does when clicked. But it does nothing else, such as present the file for download to the client browser. There are no errors in the Orbeon log file.

I have the following in my properties-local.xml file (although I guess this is only relevant if the save had worked and I was trying to load the saved data):
<property as="xs:boolean" name="oxf.fr.detail.new.accept-post.*.*"      value="true"/>

My bad - I said there were no errors in the log file.
In fact, there are some warnings that are probably a clue to solving the problem.

2012-02-27 13:17:09,143 WARN  XFormsServer  - xxforms:instance() - instance not found {instance id: "fr-uuid"}
2012-02-27 13:17:09,143 WARN  XFormsServer  - xxforms:instance() - instance not found {instance id: "fr-save-locally-file-name"}

Hi Lyle,

Instead of editing the form source, just set the
oxf.fr.detail.buttons.*.* property in your properties-local.xml, for
instance with:

<property as="xs:string"  name="oxf.fr.detail.buttons.*.*"
value="close clear print pdf save save-locally submit"/>

I just tried this now, and it is working fine here.

You can see the buttons you can use at:

And for more on overriding properties in your properties-local.xml, see:

Hi Alex,

I would have set the property as you suggested, but I have additional custom buttons defined in my form, so I believe I have no choice but to set the standard buttons in the form as well. The example I had given was just to reproduce the problem.

Lyle

Alex,

I tried your method, but it still failed to do anything. It didn't even add the disk icon.

I also tried turning on debugging by adding the following to tomcat/webapps/orbeon/WEB-INF/resources/config/properties-local.xml, but it didn't have any effect.

<property as="xs:NMTOKENS"
      name="oxf.xforms.logging.debug"
      value="document model submission submission-details control event action analysis server html"/>

The first time that I press the save locally button after pressing the save button the log file has these lines added:
  2012-02-28 12:25:09,722 INFO  ProcessorService  - /xforms-server - Received request
  2012-02-28 12:25:09,754 WARN  XFormsServer  - xxforms:instance() - instance not found {instance id: "fr-uuid"}
  2012-02-28 12:25:09,755 WARN  XFormsServer  - xxforms:instance() - instance not found {instance id: "fr-save-locally-file-name"}
  2012-02-28 12:25:09,761 INFO  ProcessorService  - /xforms-server - Timing: 39 - Cache hits for cache.main: 24, fault: 1, adds: 0, expirations: 0, success rate: 96%

Each time thereafter that I press the save locally button, it produces the following in the log file:
  2012-02-28 12:25:46,495 INFO  ProcessorService  - /xforms-server - Received request
  2012-02-28 12:25:46,503 INFO  ProcessorService  - /xforms-server - Timing: 8 - Cache hits for cache.main: 24, fault: 1, adds: 0, expirations: 0, success rate: 96%

The problem seems to be caused by fr-uuid and fr-save-locally-file-name not existing.
Do you get these errors?

Hi Lyle,

If you are not seeing the "Save locally" button in "new" pages by adding the property to your properties-local.xml, I suspect Orbeon Forms doesn't take your change to properties-local.xml into account. After you made that change, the file should contain something along the lines of what I have below.


<properties xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
            xmlns:oxf="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/processors">
        <property as="xs:string"  name="oxf.fr.detail.buttons.*.*"
                value="close clear print pdf save save-locally submit"/>
</properties>

Now, testing this on the 3.9 release, I notice that this feature was apparently broken in the release: the button did show up, but didn't do what it was supposed to do. However things are working fine in nightly builds. So if you can, I would encourage you to get nightly. And if you are using Orbeon Forms PE, you might want to contact support to get a patch.

Alex

Good news: this feature is now fixed, both in our local 3.9.1 PE branch
and in the nightly builds.
