Birt Conditional Page Break - eclipse

I'm designing a BIRT report that should print on a form. In this report it is printing in both sides so the client is asking to do a Page Break if the details of a WorkOrder ends in a odd number so both WorkOrders wouldnt be in the same sheet.
Is it possible to add a pagecount() and do a page break if it is the end of the work order an its an odd number?
Thanks in advance.

I only have part of the answer. It would be possible on the adding pagination in the beforeFactory on the ReportDesign section. Out of the box Maximo reports have a pagination statement for PDF's. You can extend the if statement - see example of OOTB code below.
You would need to be able to bring back the WO number as a global parameter. That part is what you would need to do some additional research on.
if ( (reportContext.getParameterValue("usepagebreaks") == "false")|| reportContext.getOutputFormat() == "pdf" ) {
// Give each table in the report a name, and add the names to the list below, e.g. ["mainTable", "childTable1"]
var tableListing = ["dataSet_inventory_id13#"];
for each(var tableName in tableListing) {
var table = reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findElement(tableName)
if (table != null) {
table.setProperty("pageBreakInterval", 0);
}
}
}

My google sheets function does the job when run from editor but gives different outcome when trigered by Form submit

I have a google form and a sheet that collects the responses which of course always appear at the bottom. I have been using the following script to copy the last response (which is always on the last row) from the Response sheet (Form Responses 2) to row two of another sheet (All Responses). When run by a trigger on Form Submit the script inserts a blank row into All Responses, then the copied values into another row above the blank row. Please can you help and tell me why and how I might change the script so the blank row is not added:
function CopyLastrowformresponse () {
var ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
var AR = ss.getSheetByName("All Responses");
var FR = ss.getSheetByName("Form responses 2");
var FRlastrow = FR.getLastRow();
AR.insertRowBefore(2);
FR.getRange(FRlastrow, 1, FRlastrow, 22).copyTo(AR.getRange("A2"), SpreadsheetApp.CopyPasteType.PASTE_VALUES, false);
}
A few things could be going on here.
You're getting a number of rows equal to FRlastrow, when I think you only want to be getting 1 row.
Apps Script has buggy behavior with onFormSubmit() triggers, so you may to check duplicate triggers (see this answer).
The script isn't fully exploiting the event object provided by onFormSubmit(). Specifically, rather than getting the last row from one sheet, you could use e.values, which is the same data.
I would change the script to be something like this:
function CopyLastrowformresponse (e) {
if (e.values && e.values[1] != "") { // assuming e.values[1] (the first question) is required
SpreadsheetApp.getActive()
.getSheetByName("All Responses")
.insertRowBefore(2)
.getRange(2, 1, 1, e.values.length)
.setValues([e.values]);
}
}
But, ultimately, if all you want to do is simply reverse the order of the results, then I'd ditch Apps Script altogether and just use the =SORT() function.
=SORT('Form responses 2'!A:V, 'Form responses 2'!A:A, FALSE)

Adding columns to a Web2py table in a form

In my web2py application, in the controller I read from an external DB the names of students I want to take a register for. I loop through the resulting list adding the list elements to a new list.
for student in pupils_query:
attendance_list.insert(counter, [student[0], student[1], student[2], student[3]])
counter += 1
counter = 0
Then for each student I read their attendance codes for the day so far from another table, and append them to attendance_list:
for attendance_code in attendance_result:
attendance_list[counter].append(attendance_code)
Now, I'm going to want to make a form from all this, using a table which will show each students' attendance code in a text input (so they can be updated if wrong), then have a dropdown for input of the current lesson code.
I'm using a FORM and TABLE helper to create the table in the form:
form=FORM(TABLE(*[TR(*rows) for rows in attendance_list]))
but can't seem to be able to add a new 'row' form item with something like:
select = "SELECT("+ main_reg_list +")"
attendance_list[counter].append(select)
where main_reg_list is dictionary of acceptable attendance codes (or of course, any other form input element).
In summary, I'm stuck adding new TDs to a table made with a TABLE helper from a list of lists. I bet I'm not the first person to overcome this problem.
I am still not clear about what you want. I think you want table of student information and in one column you want dropdown. Something similat to following image
Above form is created from following code.
I hope following code will help you:
# controller/default.py
def index():
# Dummy attendance list, list after appending attendance code
attendance_list = [['stud_id_1', 'first_name_1', 'last_name_1', 'attendance_code_1'],
['stud_id_2', 'first_name_2', 'last_name_2', 'attendance_code_2'],
['stud_id_3', 'first_name_3', 'last_name_3', 'attendance_code_5'],
['stud_id_4', 'first_name_4', 'last_name_4', 'attendance_code_4']]
possible_att_code = ['attendance_code_1', 'attendance_code_2', 'attendance_code_3', 'attendance_code_4', 'attendance_code_5']
# initialise form_rows with Table heading
form_rows = [THEAD(TR(TH('ID'), TH('First Name'), TH('Last Name'), TH('Attendence Code')))]
for attendance in attendance_list:
attendance_code_dropdown = _get_dropdown(attendance[0], attendance[3], possible_att_code)
td_list = [TD(attendance[0]), TD(attendance[1]), TD(attendance[2]),
TD(attendance_code_dropdown)]
table_row = TR(td_list, _id='row_' + attendance[0])
form_rows.append(table_row)
# Form submit button
form_rows.append(TR(INPUT(_type='submit')))
form = FORM(TABLE(*form_rows), _name='student_attendance',
_id='student_attendance')
if form.accepts(request, session):
# Write code to update record
pass
return dict(form=form)
def _get_dropdown(stud_id, att_code, possible_att_code):
option_list = []
for pac in possible_att_code:
if pac == att_code:
option_list.append(OPTION(pac, _value=pac, _selected='selected'))
else:
option_list.append(OPTION(pac, _value=pac))
return SELECT(*option_list, _name=stud_id)
<!-- views/default/index.html -->
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
{{=form}}
Are my assumptions correct? or you want any thing else? Comment if didn't understood code.

I want to get my NEW Gridcontrol Records highlighted. (devexpress winforms)

Here is what i am doing right now.
private void gvOrderList_RowStyle(object sender, RowStyleEventArgs e)
{
GridView View = sender as GridView;
if (e.RowHandle >= 0)
{
string sGridRecordOrderNumber = View.GetRowCellDisplayText(e.RowHandle, View.Columns["orderNo"]);
foreach (string sNewRecordOrderNo in oNewRecordOrderNoList)
{
if (sGridRecordOrderNumber == sNewRecordOrderNo)
{
e.Appearance.BackColor = Color.Salmon;
e.Appearance.BackColor2 = Color.SeaShell;
break;
}
}
}
}
I fire sql queries every 30 seconds using thread and give datasource as a list.
oNewRecordOrderNoList contains my new record list. I am matching it's OrderNo column with the handle's same column to get highlighted rows.
I am getting my rows highlighted as expected but also getting A BIG CROSS over my gridcontrol for 1 second. And if i open other forms after the current one, it also shows cross in other forms. LOOKS QUITE UGLY.
I want a solution to remove this cross or another solution by which i can change appearance of my new rows by matching column values WITHOUT A CROSS DISPLAY.
A help would be appreciated.
Red cross means that an exception occurred while painting the grid. Since you're changing the datasource, it would be a good idea to deffer highlighting until the data is loaded.
Something like this:
private void LoadData() {
myGridView.BeginDataUpdate();
myGridControl.DataSource = GetNewDataSource();
myGridView.EndDataUpdate();
}

Copy range with conditional formatting

I have a range with Conditional Formatting in an existing Excel file. I used EPPlus to copy that range to a new sheet, then I found the conditional formatting was missing.
Is there any way to copy range with conditional formatting using EPPlus?
I found a solution for this. I did not test it on all formattingRuleTypes. (Only needed 2 of them for the moment)
In my application i have 1 template row for each sheet.
var formatList = fromSheet.ConditionalFormatting.ToList();
foreach (var cf in formatList)
{
// sourceRow is the row containing the formatting
if (cf.Address.Start.Row == sourceRow )
{
IExcelConditionalFormattingRule rule = null;
switch (cf.Type)
{
case OfficeOpenXml.ConditionalFormatting.eExcelConditionalFormattingRuleType.GreaterThan:
rule = dest.ConditionalFormatting.AddGreaterThan();
break;
case OfficeOpenXml.ConditionalFormatting.eExcelConditionalFormattingRuleType.GreaterThanOrEqual:
rule = dest.ConditionalFormatting.AddGreaterThanOrEqual();
break;
case OfficeOpenXml.ConditionalFormatting.eExcelConditionalFormattingRuleType.LessThan:
rule = dest.ConditionalFormatting.AddLessThan();
break;
case OfficeOpenXml.ConditionalFormatting.eExcelConditionalFormattingRuleType.LessThanOrEqual:
rule = dest.ConditionalFormatting.AddLessThanOrEqual();
break;
default:
break;
}
rule.Style.Fill = cf.Style.Fill;
rule.Style.Border = cf.Style.Border;
rule.Style.Font = cf.Style.Font;
rule.Style.NumberFormat = cf.Style.NumberFormat;
// I have no clue why the Formula property is not included in the IExcelConditionalFormattingRule interface. So I needed to cast this.
((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)rule).Formula = ((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)cf).Formula;
((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)rule).Formula2 = ((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)cf).Formula2;
// Calculate the new address for the formatting. This will be different in your case
var adr = new ExcelAddress( dest.Start.Row , cf.Address.Start.Column -1 , dest.Start.Row, cf.Address.Start.Column -1 + cf.Address.Columns -1 );
rule.Address = adr;
I have no clue why the Formula property is not included in the IExcelConditionalFormattingRule interface. So I needed to cast this.
To add to the answer of Luc Wuyts (I can't comment yet due to limited reputation):
// I have no clue why the Formula property is not included in the IExcelConditionalFormattingRule interface. So I needed to cast this.
((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)rule).Formula = ((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)cf).Formula;
((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)rule).Formula2 = ((ExcelConditionalFormattingRule)cf).Formula2;
Some conditional formatting do not have the Formula-options. This cast will work, but applying the Formula properties to conditional formatting options which do not require it will have unforeseen results. Eg. the ConditionalFormatting.AddContainsBlanks() does not require Formula properties, and adding them might mess up the conditional formatting. A better approach is to check the type, and add the formula's only when required.
I had a similar problem, the only way I found to inspect, change or delete a conditional format of a cell or range is looking at the openxml specs. The conditional format is stored in the worksheet, with the range under the attribute sqref. So you can edit that range or add a new.
For example:
DIM p As New ExcelPackage(New FileInfo(ExlReportPath), True)
Dim ws As ExcelWorksheet = p.Workbook.Worksheets(ExlSheetName)
'--Find Node "worksheet" (1 in my case) , Find all Child Nodes "conditionalFormatting" (5 to 11 in my test)
Print.Debug(ws.WorksheetXml.ChildNodes(1).ChildNodes(5).Name)
'--You get: conditionalFormatting
'--Now you can inspect the range:
Print.Debug(ws.WorksheetXml.ChildNodes(1).ChildNodes(5).Attributes("sqref").Value)
'--Will give you the cell address that this formatting applies to example: "D11:D15"
'--you can change delete or add new range if you want, below I add F11:F15
ws.WorksheetXml.ChildNodes(1).ChildNodes(5).Attributes("sqref").Value="D11:D15 F11:F15"
'--You can inspect the rule itself in the InnerXml also...
If you need more details of the markup, google Wouter van Vugt, "Open XML The markup explained". I found it useful and the full document was online (free).
If you find an easier way please post it.

Trying to copy values into multiple embedded forms

I have a Symfony 1.4 application to allow users to enter data to a electrical appliance testing database. The page in questions consists of multiple embedded "new" forms so the user can submit many tests in one go. The form validates and saves correctly, but feedback is that it will be tedious to use.
As much of the data may be the same in each test (e.g. same date, same result, same person doing the testing), I would like the user to be able to fill in values in the top row, then click a button to fill the same information in the rows below. I'm pretty sure this would require javascript, but I don't have much experience.
I would appreciate any suggestions.
Many Thanks.
Well, I managed to figure it out without using javascript.
I put a button on the page
<input type="submit" name="copy_values" value="duplicate">
In the action for the page I included the code...
elseif (isset($_POST['copy_values'])) {
// get values from first embedded test
$newTests = $testList['new_tests'];
$testDate = $newTests[0]['et_date_tested'];
$testedBy = $newTests[0]['et_tester_id'];
$formOptions = array('test_date'=>$testDate, 'tester'=>$testedBy);
$this->form = new MultiTestForm(null, $formOptions);
}
$this->setTemplate('multiAdd');
... which takes the values from the widgets in the top row of the form and creates an array. This is passed as the options array to create a new form.
In the top level form class..
public function configure()
{
...
$subform = new sfForm();
for($i = 0;$i < sfConfig::get('app_new_test_rows'); $i ++)
{
$formToAdd = new TestsForMultiAddForm(null,$this->getOptions());
$subform->embedForm($i, $formToAdd);
}
$this->embedForm('new_tests', $subform);
}
...and in the embedded form class...
public function configure()
{
...
if ($this->getOption('test_date')) {
$this->setDefault('et_date_tested', $this->getOption('test_date'));
}
if ($this->getOption('tester')) {
$this->setDefault('et_tester_id', $this->getOption('tester'));
}
...
}
Not sure if this is the conventional way to approach the problem, but it works!
