Hi all,I'd like to get the local path of a file (a graphic entity) added to the CMS. The Java technical documentation states that CMSSessionPutFile / CMSSessionPostPutFile events are here for that.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to pass an attribute value to a simple acl function that formats and returns the value to save it to a variable. The attribute is "revdate" and the eic is "cmm"<e-I-c gi="cmm>...<att><specval attname="revdate" attval="#ANY"><fillval attname="myfuncs::format_date" attloc="system-func" fillcat="savetext" fillchar="conrule"><charsubset><savetext textid="issuedate.txt"></charsubset>Plus I know I'm not declaring the function correctly:function format_date(window,oid)...local date=oid_attr(oid, ?);...Any help is appreciated.

Hi guys,in arbortext editor 7.0 we would like to dock (right) the Modify-Attributes Dialog:For our users it would be very helpful, to modify attributes of the current tag always in a docked attribute window.Our aim is to dock this window, and update the element, so that every attribute of that clicked element can be changed very fast.Therefore our plan was to reload this window if the oid_tag has changed. We tried to find this dialog as xml to try to dock this, but without success.Do you have any other idea to realize this feature?Thank you in advance for your help.Greetings from Germany

I am working in Arbortext 7 M010 and I have a small ACL file that globs a dir, runs doc_open and window_create, then runs get_composer(), inserts values for the stylesheet and outputFile params in the pdf.ccf, then calls compose::compose_for_pdf().The problem I am having is when the first call to compose_to_pdf is made, it reports back that the doctype is not installed on the PE server, despite the fact that I know it is (opening a globbed doc regularly allows me to publish through PE just fine).Has anyone seen this?  I've restarted PE services, rescanned composition, did the PE compare, did flush_composer, I'm not seeing why opening a doc with doc_open/window_create/doc_show causes the doctype to not be seen on the PE server.thanks,-Jason

Hi All, we would like to burst a png graphic as primary content and another format (located in the same place than the png) as a secondary content, is there any method in the API that allows that?

Hi,if we would like to modfiy attributes of the markup, where the cursor is placed in, the Arbortext Editor shows the attributes of the wrong element.You can see this in this example:The cursor is inside the tag "para" but the modify attribute dialog shows the attribute dialog of the element "emphasis".Our expectation is that the editor shows the attributes of "para", because the cursor is inside this element.Can we change this behaviour? Maybe with a set-command? Or is this a bug of the arbortext editor?Thank you for your help in advance.Greetings from Germany.

Hi,currently we are making tests with the newest Arbortext Editor Version 7.0. As you know the toolbar icons in this new release are renewed. The new icons are very nice and we would like to use them. The buttons are defined in the editwindow.xml. In our customization (acl-file) we use following code to show the toolbar button "activated" or "deactivated" (gray style) (we would like activate them only if the cursor is in context to insert the xml-structure):if(in_context("emphasis") == 1)  {       dlgitem_activate(0, "Toolbar_Fett")       dlgitem_activate(0, "Toolbar_Unterstreichen")       dlgitem_activate(0, "Toolbar_Durchstreichen")  }  else  {       dlgitem_deactivate(0, "Toolbar_Fett")       dlgitem_deactivate(0, "Toolbar_Unterstreichen")       dlgitem_deactivate(0, "Toolbar_Durchstrei
