Upgrading ITP/OnLine Server 3.x applications

Starting with version 3.5.20, ITP/OnLine Server produces new div-oriented output by default. Therefore upgrading from ITP/OnLine Server 3.x can require some extra steps for custom applications. This applies to applications that have been developed based on the old, table-oriented HTML output of the ITP/OnLine forms. For these applications it is necessary to switch back to table-oriented HTML output. For more information on this subject, refer to chapter 3.1 Switching between the old and the new output in the ITP/OnLine Customization Manual.

Switching to table-oriented HTML output

The new div-oriented HTML output is activated because the file xslt\custom\defaults.xsl includes xslt\defaults\div_oriented\defaults.xsl, where it contained xslt\defaults\table_oriented\defaults.xsl in previous versions. The same goes for the output of the ITP/OnLine letterbook. The file xslt\custom\defaults_letterbook.xsl includes xslt\defaults\div_oriented\defaults.xsl, rather than xslt\defaults\table_oriented\defaults.xsl.

Switching back to table-oriented HTML output can be done as follows.

1. Create a subfolder xslt containing a subfolder custom (if not yet present) in you application folder.
2. Put the files defaults.xsl and defaults_letterbook.xsl, as found in the examples Sample.zip, Sample2.Zip, into the custom subfolder.

default.xsl

The file defaults.xsl has the following content. In this content, the line <xsl:import href="..\defaults\table_oriented\defaults.xsl"/> makes sure that the table-oriented HTML output is activated for your application.

defaults_letterbook.xsl

The file defaults_letterbook.xsl has the following content.
In this content, the line: <xsl:imort href="..\defaults\table_oriented\defaults_letterbook.xsl"/> makes sure the table-oriented HTML output is activated for your letter book application.
