Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: How to change name of output PDF report?

« on: October 19, 2024, 07:52:04 AM »

Hello everyone,

     I think I found a solution, after looking at more posts here.  In the PDF (PDFReportGenerator) Setup embed, I have the following:

          p_web.HeaderDetails.ContentDisposition = 'filename="PREDICT2 Study ID Assignment_'&p_web.GSV('Enr:Study_ID')&'.pdf"'

The generated PDF displays in a new browser tab (have report set to use '_blank') and when I click to download the PDF, it now has a unique filename filled in for me.  The filename no longer defaults to the procedure name.  Next I'll test how this does with a few other browsers.

Thanks,

Jeff

Web Server - Ask For Help / How to change name of output PDF report?

« on: October 18, 2024, 03:51:06 PM »

Hello all,

     I have setup a simple Clarion report to output as a PDF using the Clarion Report to PDF template.  I do get the report generated in a new browser tab but when I try to save it to the local drive, it defaults to the name of the report procedure.  I have tried the following code in numerous report procedure embeds without success:

          loc:PDFName = '.\PREDICT2 Study ID Assignment_'&p_web.GSV('Enr:Study_ID')&'.pdf'

     Some of the embeds I have tried:

          PDF (PDFReportGenerator), Setup, after parent call
          Previewer (PrintPreviewClass), OnSaveAs
          Prime Report Options when run in web mode
         

Can anyone tell me how this should be done?

Thanks,

Hello all,

     I think I found the mistake.  I forgot the hash mark (#) in the hex of the color!  Here is the working code now:

.nt-body{
   background-color: #e6e6fa;
}

Thanks,

Web Server - Ask For Help / Change background color of entire app

« on: October 15, 2024, 04:14:17 PM »

Hello all,

     For a current client, I maintain three versions of an app:  one for training, one for testing and one for production.  They want me to set the background color of the test and training versions to a lighter pastel color.  I thought about adding the following to my custom.css file:

--site-background:e6e6fa;
.nt-body{
   background-color:var(--site-background);
}


     After running the GzipAll.bat, and doing a CTRL-F5, the background color is not changed.  Any thoughts as to where I went wrong?

Thanks,

Jeff King

Web Server - Ask For Help / Re: How to call a "secondary" form after saving main update form?

Hi Ron,

     After looking at a few other posts here, I came to the same conclusion, use an in-row button on the browse.  I can call a test report from this button now.  This is not as "automatic" as the user wants but it should do.

Thanks!

Jeff

Hi Ron,

     I have tried your suggestion.  In the Post Insert embed I have:

            NewStudyIDForm(p_web)    !!Call Memory Form

     This does not seem to work as the memory form does not appear when inserting a new record.  Am I calling the memory form correctly?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Alberto,

     Your suggestion is interesting.  The normal process is to open a browse, do an insert and then return to the browse after a save or cancel.  With your suggestion I think the user would be taken from the form to the secondary form and no longer be returned to the browse.  Is this correct?  If so this would not be what the client wants.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hello all,

     I'm working on a NT 14.20 app.  I call a NetWebForm procedure to do an insert and a Study_ID field is created and saved.  Upon saving I want to pop up a second form that shows the newly created Study_ID and has a print button.  The print button should call a report that has the new Study_ID and some instructional text.  If the user does not click the print button, they can just close the second form and continue.

     I have tried to adapt the Adding a Report section of the NetTalk Book, 4th edition, but have not been able to get this to work.  Anyone have suggestions on how to do this?

Thank you,

Jeff King

Hello all,

    I think this is a prefix issue, like I had in April this year.  In that case Bruce suggested setting jsonParameter.SetMaxPrefixLength(4) to something less than 4, the default.  I'll experiment with this more later.  But for now the workaround was to check Include Field Prefixes in the Options tab of the Parameters tab in the NetWebServiceMethod template.

Thanks,

Web Server - Ask For Help / NT 14.20 API error

« on: August 31, 2024, 04:10:02 PM »

Hello all,

     I'm getting an error 40 when trying to use an API to delete a record.  I'm trying from the JSON Post example created in the API documentation in my app.
 Please see attached image JSONPOST.png.  I'm confused by the error definition as it indicates trying to save a record when I'm trying to delete a record. 

     Interestingly, the HTTPGET method does delete the record as expected.  See image HTTPGET.png

I cannot see where the issue is in the JSONPOST.  Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Jeff

Web Server - Ask For Help / Media field type question, part 4

« on: August 26, 2024, 12:10:04 PM »

Hi Bruce,

     I'm still working on my app with the Media field type on a form.  One thing I have noticed is the Media field stays at the width and height set in the template...that is it is not responsive to resizing the containing form.  Please see the attached image.  Can you suggest a way to make the Media field width be bound to the right margin and the height to be bound to the bottom margin?  I'm looking for some CSS to add to my custom.css file but have not found anything yet.

Thanks,

Jeff King

Hi Bruce,

     I have searched Google but no answers yet.  Another issue has arisen.  The menu bar/tool bar has an icon for doing text annotations and highlighting of the displayed PDF.  This shows in Edge browser but not in Chrome.  Any thoughts on why?  I'll keep searching.

Thanks,

Jeff

Hello all,

     I have the Media field type working pretty well now.  However, I would like to be able to hide or disable certain functions on the Media field menu/tool bar.  For example, I don't want the user to be able to print or save the viewed PDF.  Is it possible to control these menu/tool bar options?

Thanks,

Hello all,

     The memory form I created had the Form Source field set to Memory instead of Table.  Changing this to Table and setting the actual target file, solved this issue.  I can now do Insert, Change and Delete when calling the update procedure.

Thanks,

Hello everyone,

     After reading page 189 in the 4th ed. of the NetTalk book, it was revealed that the upload folder will always serve files for download (save).  So, I created a reports folder and serve my PDF documents from there.  They now display in the Media filed as expected.

Thanks,
