Hi John,
< I was under the impression that the default was that one form would serve both tbc native and ensemble> Yes, it can, but you may not want to. Depending on your use case, you may want to have different information displayed in TBC versus in TBE for the same thing. There are three form types (modes) available - general (works in TBC and TBE), TBE edit form (only works in TBE for edit forms), TBE search form (only works in TBE for search forms). If you have both, a general customized form for a class and an edit form, TBE will use the edit form. Same for search. When you click on the Form Layout view in TBC, you will see an icon in the upper right allowing you to switch between the different forms - see the screenshot below < If I do need to create the forms in edit mode is there any way I can copy my original forms.> You don't need to. The way of doing this would be to make changes directly in .tbc file. It is in RDF. < Also if I were to make changes, would just refreshing the browser be good enough for these changes to be reflected> It is a bit more complicated than that because, for performance reasons, form configurations are cached. Assuming that you are working in TBC-ME, you need to do the following: After you make changes, save the model in TBC Then go to <http://localhost:8083/tbl/> http://localhost:8083/tbl/ and click on <http://localhost:8083/tbl/admin/> TopBraid Live Server Administration Then press "Clear all sessions" button Regards, Irene -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of John Perdoni Sent: Thursday, February 17, 2011 5:38 PM To: TopBraid Suite Users Subject: [topbraid-users] Ensemble Edit Forms Hi, I am just beggining to delve into the mysterious world of Ensemble, but have created my forms in Form mode (general), but the rich edit text box is not showing up. Reading the following from the help files "Note that TopBraid Composer can be used to define form layouts for its companion product TopBraid Ensemble. TopBraid Ensemble distinguishes between Edit Forms and Search Forms, and Composer provides an option to switch between editing those two modes explicitly. A third option (which is default) is to edit the form layout for both. If you are a pure TopBraid Composer user, you should not change these settings at all, and please refer to the TopBraid Ensemble documentation for the specific form editing options. " I was under the impression that the default was that one form would serve both tbc native and ensembe (without the component widgets for tbc native. If this is not the case I cannot find the option mentioned above. If I do need to create the forms in edit mode is there any way I can copy my original forms. Also if I were to make changes, would just refreshing the browser be good enough for these changes to be reflected Many thanks again in advance Regards John -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group "TopBraid Suite Users", the topics of which include TopBraid Composer, TopBraid Live, TopBraid Ensemble, SPARQLMotion and SPIN.
