Hello,
I use the demo site with demo records and
tried to add a new Document Type with the help of WebSubmit Admin. But there
seems an error with cloning from existing Document Types. I cloned from
existing TEXT Doctype (ID was INTERNET), but in fact not all the elements were
correctly cloned.
The new Doctype was indeed successfully
created, but the resulting submission pages were empty, no error is reported by
mail in this case. And if you’ll delete the actions and add the same actions
with cloning from existing ones, the same error occurs, this time you’ll
get an error message by mail from CDSware.
So I tried different other clonings, and
found out, that it only works correctly if the Doctype ID is shorter than 7
characters. With 8 and probably more the error described above occurs and with exactly
7 characters all elements of the resulting submission pages are doubled. (Wonder
why?)
In the Guide to WebSubmit is spoken of “We usually use a 3 letters acronym.”, but I thought, ok this
is not obligatory and so I used my own IDs. Furthermore in the demo records 5 characters
are used in some document types.
I’ve not much trouble with this error
(I use shorter IDs for now.), but if anyone else has this problem, he/she can
read this here ;) and perhaps the error will be corrected in upcoming versions
of CDSware.
Best regards
Sven Börner
