I added the people picker CSS in the Field CSS tab. Some of the screen shots from my earlier entries show that.

However, I also had the following code in the Custom CSS tab. The explanation for this on your site led me to believe that I needed to add it.

.sbs_FieldTable .dffs_tdWrap *{
width:auto !important;
}

Just removed it and the field width of all of the people picker fields now looks a lot better.

That solved it!

Thanks…..

It matches “ms-inputuserfield”.

Here is a Word doc with a screen shot.

Thanks….

Hi Alexander,

I am currently implementing the use of hiding the whole row. Will let you know how that works out.

However, it looks like the CSS for the people picker does not work. I’ve attached a Word document with 2 screen shots. The first screen shot shows the field on the Field CSS tab with the CSS that you provided. The second shows what the actual field looks like when the form is opened. The people picker field is still very narrow.

Is there something that I am missing?

Thanks….

Hi Alexander,

That worked as far as the alignment of the fields and the Side-by-Side labels!

However, I still have an issue with setting the column width for the 2 columns that contain the fields and the width of any field configured as Person or Group. Please see the first attached Word doc for a screen shot of what the Person or Group field looks like.

And after getting the fields and labels to align, another issue has cropped up. It looks like fields and labels that are hidden by the rules that I have in place now leave a blank line on the form. When the user first creates a new record, the form will show one heading and a field configured as a radio button underneath that heading. When the user selects a value from the radio button, some of the fields show and others are hidden from the user. Prior to making the selection from that field, numerous blank rows or lines show below that one exposed field.

I am attaching another Word doc that contains screen shots of this issue.

Thanks….

Just noticed that the screen shots in the attached document show that the fields are aligned as follows.

The field label for the first field is set to show above the first field. And no field label displays for the second field.

“Address”
[Address1] [Address2]

“City”
[City1] [City2]

Being able to use either approach is what I am looking for.

I noticed that the double quotes looked funny as well. I retyped that line of code character by character and it would still not work. Also double checked the internal field name and it is correct.

However, I was able to get your sample to work!

Thanks for all of your help.

Hi Alexander,

I retyped the quotes and added 2 alerts, 1 before and 1 after the setFieldValue and only the first alert runs.

alert(“1 -Almost Finished”);

setFieldValue(“tmpSubCodes_Process_x0020_Owner_5″,”a”);

alert(” 2- Finished”);

return;

Any ideas as to why this fails?

Hi Alexander,

I’ll try to download the latest release early next week, install it and see if the fixes the issue.

Question for you – how did you connect to the SQL table? Did you create an external content type, connect it to the SQL table, and then define all of the “external content type operations” – read list, read item, create, update and delete? After that, did you create the external list and then set up the 2 forms using your product?

Thanks…..

Will do!

Thanks Again…

Hi Alexander,

That seems to be in line with what I found while researching this issue.

I guess my fall back plan is to use InfoPath for forms that need to display text and varchar SQL columns as multi-line.

I’ll try to post a new entry for that other issue with the tabs when the list is based on a SQL table sometime next week.

Thanks for looking into this for me!

Hi Alexander,

I was told that I can set up a webex to be able to do a screen share session with you. Will you be available to do this sometime next week?

Thanks,

Harley

Hi Alexander,

Sorry, I was out of the office for more than a week!

Due to security issues I can’t have you log into our site. I will look into seeing if I can get permission to do a web-ex with you.

I will also record that other issue related to not being able to set up multiple tabs using DFFS for an external list in a separate thread.

Thanks,

Harley

Hi Alexander,

And it looks like there are issues with creating multiple tabs for an external list. Do you want me to post that as a separate issue or add it to this one?

Hi Alexander,

Pardon my ignorance, but where would I put that line of code?

TextAreaScreenShot-t.pdf – Yes it is a screenshot of the actual HTML that I added to the form using DFFS.

Just uploaded a screen shot from the SQL field. There are no modifications to that field.
