I have a document library that has some fields as compulsory but when I upload them sensenet does not required the fill of that fields.
This is working only on the edit function
The problem with this feature is that on the built-in UI you cannot actually fill any fields when you upload a document. So if you had any compulsory fields (and we validated them) you would not be able to upload documents at all, the system would deny that.
Currently I do not know an out-of-the-box solution for this, you would have to create a custom upload UI (of course using the built-in simple upload functionality) that makes sure the user fills the compulsory fields before uploading the doc.
If you think this is something we should look into, please create an issue on github.

I want the user to upload his picture when he registers his information.
The thing is when the user uploads his image.. should automatically create a folder with his ID to be like this wwwroot/images/UserID/fadi.jpg
Basically: you really shouldn't. The wwwroot is for static assets used by the application. You're using server-side, so in theory it might be possible but that's not what the folder is meant for. An alternative method like AWS would be preferred, but if you can't do that (either because of payment requirements or other complications) I would suggest saving the image to your database. One way to do this would be to base64 encode the image and save it that way. I'm not going to give an example of that here, there are plenty available elsewhere. One such example is this.
Is it possible to retrieve drl ex:https://host:port /ewebtop/drl/objectId/0900a58e80970f7b of document via .net application?.So that when users clicks on this link they can be able to edit the document and when they close the document the document should be autosaved onto documentum.
First of all: a link is a link. What you decide to do with it I u to you. Default handler in browser will just redirect you to webtop application. If you have SSO you can have the document opened for edit. There are some extra arguments that can be provided (view/edit).
The object id is the only varying part of the URL, so you can easily construct this in code.
Secondly: what is your goal? There is no way to make the document upload itself into Documentum repo. You can write a plugin for every application to handle that, but it seems like a big task - especially dealing with security.
The problem is that upon check-in, user must provide some information - at least about the new version number...
If you're building a thick client in .net I would go with DFS - that's the only real option here.
This is my first time using Ektron and i'm trying to implement Json-LD schema scripts for each page. I have 68 scripts that I need to implement that are unique for each page.
I thought I would be able to implement these scripts through meta data, but now i'm unsure. Each script is over 1000 characters, the html and meta tag types only allow 500 characters, so i'm assuming i'm in the wrong place. If anyone could shed some light it would be much appreciated.
Ektron's metadata isn't intended for large chunks of data / content. So, yes, you will find limits there.
Here are two things you might try as workarounds.
Most direct:
Use the Ektron Library. Go to the Library tab and click on the Root node and view Properties. Add an extension to allow you to upload your JSON-LD as a file. Use metadata on the content item to reference the uploaded file. Combine the two upon output.
If you want the JSON-LD to be editable within the CMS...
Gaming the platform a bit
Create a new SmartForm definition and include in it a single plain-text, multi-line field (not Rich text). This should hold your JSON-LD. Set up a folder and, if your version supports it (you didn't specify CMS version, so I will assume relatively recent), set the folder to be non-searchable so these things don't come up in site search results. Add a restriction to the folder to only allow the Smart Form definition you just created. Create your JSON-LD there using the plain-text field. You should be able to store up to 1MB.
Same as above, add your JSON-LD as text then use a reference to this item from the content you want to use it.
The metadata in this case (and possibly the library one, though I'd have to test and I don't have an Ektron environment for development anymore) will give you the Content ID for the object holding your JSON-LD. You'll have to make another API call but will give you the solution you appear to want from above.
In our application, we generate a few reports and documents through Windward. The documents are generated based on specific user conditions and the user is able to download the document.
As part of a new requirement, we would like to enable copy protection of the generated PDF -- basically, users would not be able to Copy the contents of the document.
Is there anyway we can achieve this through Windward? Or do we have to integrate with external third party software like LockLizard or Win2PDF?
We did think of converting the document to an image and recreating the PDF but this is unacceptable as the document formatting became off the mark.
Appreciate any insights or alternate solutions.
Thanks,
Aravind
Windward does this. If you're using the Java engine use the following calls (javadoc):
ProcessPdfAPI.setOwnerPassword()
ProcessPdfAPI.setUserPassword()
For the .NET engine use the following calls (api docs):
ReportPdf.OwnerPassword
ReportPdf.Security
ReportPdf.UserPassword
Is this what you need?
Alright so I learned that to have an upload button on a page, what you do is basically call a php file (call is upload.php) that would upload a file to the server. I have no idea where I am supposed to put the php file inside the server so I can call it.
I feel stupid because I can't find any answers online. I am getting very frustrated and confused because I am told I need to create a database but I have no idea how to edit a database in Joomla. I took a class in SQL so I don't have to learn about that. I just don't know where it is. I was also told I need to make a component. But this is confusing because all I want to do is have an upload button that will upload an image to the server.
I understand your frustration. I've got the basic idea on what you are trying to do. Here are a couple of options:
You might wanna take a look at Joomla! Extensions Directory ™. You might just find there a component or a module that already does this for you.
If you want to do it on your own, than you need to create a small module or a component inside Joomla! Please refer to the Joomla! Documentation or tutorials on this topic. Please note that you won't get this working instantly, because you first need to understand how Joomla! works. So your upload.php file will go in your module / component files. I don't think you need to do any SQL.
Now the part with "allowing a user" is a bit confusing... you want to "allow" any user to upload things to your server or just let's say, registered users? Generally uploading scripts need to be very strong from the security point of view. If this is the case, that you need to do a search for Joomla! ACL
You can simply create a form and add the "media" field type.
http://docs.joomla.org/Standard_form_field_types
You can also opt for the "file" field types to allow different types of fields.
Both fields can be added using the Joomla Component Creator: http://www.notwebdesign.com/joomla-component-creator/
And you might also want to take a look at K2 which has an excellent image upload functionality that allows scaling of images into three different sizes.
