Adding custom buttons to crystal reports html viewer

Hello,
I'm using crystal reports for eclipse and I have a time chart in my report that is displayed with html viewer. I need a button bar to navigate on this chart e.g. the button which adds values to chart for the next month.
Is it possible to add custom buttons to the button bar of crystal reports viewer ?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings,
Nikolas

Dear Shashidhar,
regarding your request I have to inform you that the ECL Viewer is developed by a third-party vendor company and so from SAP point of view there is no chance to enlarge the buttons for redlining in the ECL Viewer.
Best regards,

Problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008

Dear all,
I have problems with parameter button in Crystal Report Server 2008.
when I created some parameters and groups in Crystal Report 2008, they showed both parameters in 'Parameter button' and group in 'Group button' on the left, so I can choose or type without clicking 'Refresh button' But when I added it to Crystal Report Server 2008 and I click parameter button , it doesn't show any parameter. Only click refresh button to choose them. On the other hand, for 'Group Tree' is ok. When go to Default Setting-> Parameter, all parameters are in 'Unused parameter' First time I think I had problems with my installation, but when I reinstalled it again, it was like before.
Could any one help me with this?
I appreciate looking forward to your reply

Adding custom buttons to the Rich Text Editor in CQ

Hi,
I have added custom buttons to the rich text editor in order to allow our editors to add specific content, such as popovers, custom videos and other data necessary data.
I have successfully modifed the Rich Text editor so, that it includes the custom buttons in the actions panel.
I have also managed to make the buttons work and include the data where necessary, when user highlights the text and clicks on a certain button.
The last bit I am struggling with, is the visual feedback we give to the users when this text has associated action with it.
E.g. when we select this text and make it bold when we click on the word B the button B becomes highlighted in the actions panel, later when we continue typing our text and click again on "bold" the letter B becomes highlighted again.
Is there any button related callback/method I could overwrite to add this functionality and make my button highlighted ?
Thanks,
Puzanovs

After lot's of thinking found a solution....
Essentially the first step is to extend the CQ.form.rte.plugins.Plugin in your custom button.
Then during the UI initialisation we create our "custom"
var pressButton = new ui.TbElement("press-button", this, true,this.getTooltip("press-button")); // Essential extend of the button
setInterval(function() {
 if(window.jQuery) {
 window.jQuery(document).ready(function () {
 window.jQuery(".x-edit-glossary-insert").css({width:45,"background-image":"none"}); // Ignore the background
 window.jQuery(".x-edit-glossary-insert").text("Press Button"); // Set the name
 $(document).on({
 mouseenter: function(){
 window.jQuery(".x-edit-glossary-insert").html("Press Button"); // Set the name bold
 mouseleave: function(){
 window.jQuery(".x-edit-glossary-insert").html("Press Button"); // Set the name normal
 }}, '.press-button');
 }, 100);
tbGenerator.addElement("press-button", plg.Plugin.SORT_LISTS, pressButton, 10); // element is inserted
Every time the element is inserted I add the following html
Test peter
Now, every time in the editor, the content editor mouse overs the custom button it is higlighted in the RTE))

Crystal Reports 2008 viewer, print function, Comunication error

I installed cr2008 on a web server and isntalled sp0
if I bring up a reprot in smartviewer from a client it works and I can print
once I installed sp1, sp2 and or sp3 for crystal reports 2008 the print button in crystal reports viewer gives an error when I click the print button.
If I remove and re-isntall cr2008 and just installed sp0 the print button works again
Is there a fix to make the print button work in crystal reports smart viewer once sp1 or above have been installed
thank you

Translating the error message on bablefish I get:
Mistake with the store of the data bank information. Mistake in the file Report {C6512421-348A-4621-B1ED-895D28646A0A} .rpt
Which I'm sure is not 100% accurate, but it gives a good hint. As well, because of this:
"Do I need to install an additional / diffrent runtime than 2008 Runtime"
I wonder how you installed the CR 12 runtime on that computer? For more info on CR runtimes, see [this|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsforVisualStudio.NETRuntimeDistribution-Versions9.1to12.0] wiki.
If my suggestion above does not help, make sure the Win\temp directory can be accessed buy the application. Crystal Reports runtime needs to write and read files from the temp directory.

Parenthesis in a parameter throws error in Crystal Reports Web Viewer.

The application that I am working on is passing a parameter which contains user data like section numbers....
So when we pass the value 123.1(a) , here what is happening behind the scene of CR viewer
webSource0.AddParameter "promptex-NAMEOFPARAMETER", "123.1%28a%29"
and it throws up the following error
"The syntax of the value for prompt 'NAMEOFPARAMETER' is incorrect. Please correct the syntax and try again"
I have no idea why it is throwing up this errror.... and we cannot avoid parenthesis.
It works without any error in the actual crystal report developer.
Is this some kind of bug or is there any workaround for this.
Version that I have:
Crystal Report web Viewer Control 11.5
Crystal Developer 11.0.0.1282
Thank you,
Xavier

I figured out the answer. It was the ASCII notation for double qoutes which was confusing crystal.
%22 is the ASCII for ", but it is then converted to %2522 which confuses crystal
so I used HTML notation for double quote instead of %22 and is converted to %22 , and it works fine.
Thanks for the help anyways

Barcode not displaying/printing in Crystal Report java viewer

We have written a Crystal report (in Developer XI release 2 with service pack 4 installed) which produces barcode labels. The barcodes are Code 39 barcodes and are generated by printing the string \*data_field\* in a Code 39 barcode font. The asterisk is the character used for the Code 39 start/stop sequence in the barcode font.
In Developer everything works fine and prints out and scans correctly. When we make the report available to our end users in the Crystal Reports java viewer all we get where the barcode should appear is white space on screen or when we print. (The rest of the report behaves correctly).
We have tried a few things and have found that if both asterisks or the starting or ending asterisk is left in a different font (i.e. not the barcode font) then the rest of the string displays and prints in the barcode font. (unfortunately without bot asterisks you don't get a scanable barcode).
Has anyone got any suggestions on how to fix this?
(In case it might be relevant the barcode font we are using is this one: http://www.barcodesinc.com/free-barcode-font/)
Thanks
Trevor

Hello Ludek,
                I have found that the issue is caused by the bold attributes of my field.
                You can try the following and you should encounter the same issue:
                                - Create a Report
                                - Create a formula with many characters
                                - Put you field in Times New Roman bold 8.
                The following Font Size in Times New Roman are in issue: 5 u2013 8 u2013 11- 14
                The following Font Size in Arial are in issue: 8 u2013 11 u2013 12 u2013 14
Thank you.

Crystal Report Activex Viewer Control

 Our users are prompted to download: Crystal Report Activex Viewer Control -- when trying to view reports. Since they do not have Admin rights on their PC, they are unable to install this Activex Control. Is there a setup file available someplace that can deployed to the user's pc that would intsall the activex control?Any help would be appreciated. Thanks,Anupam

http://support.businessobjects.com/communitycs/technicalpapers/cr_troubleshooting_activex_viewer.pdf

bq.
Manual installation
To manually install the ActiveX Viewer on the client computer:
1. Copy the ActiveXViewer.cab file from the server to the client computer, and extract its contents to a temporary folder.
2. Move the files Crviewer.dll, Crviewer9.dll, Sviewhlp.dll, and Swebrs.dll to the System32 folder. Keep this folder visible.
3. On the Start menu, click Run. The Run dialog box appears.
4. In the Open box, type âu20ACu0153regsvr32âu20AC and then drag and drop the Crviewer.dll file icon from the System32 folder onto the Run dialog box.
5. Click OK.
6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for the files Crviewer9.dll, Sviewhlp.dll, and Swebrs.dll.
But I haven't tried it myself yet. I have so much crystal stuff on my PC. I'm going to set up a virtual PC that has never had crystal and see if it works.

Custom grouping in crystal report

I have a requirement of creating a report off BEx query (BI 7.0).
I have database field which gives around 250 rows. Now with these 250 rows I need to create a custom grouping in crystal report having 2 groups and a detail.
Some info about database field: For ex: 'A', 'B' and 'C' are 3 sample rows of the database field. I want to arrange this in such a way that.
A will form Group 1 and B will form group 2 and it is sub group of Group 1. and C is part of Group 2.
A (group 1)
B (Group 2)
C.
But when I tried it it resulted in
A (group 1)
Others
Others (group1)
B(Group 2)
C.
In this method I was successful in creating report if there were only 2 levels. But when it comes to 3rd level i am facing the problem. Any solution from experts.

Hi Raghavendra,
You can create the superset group i.e Group A in ur illustration by choosing Insert -> Group from the pull-down menus and specifying the field name in the panel.
Next, in order to create the subset group i.e Group B and Group C you need to create a formula in the Formula Workshop-Formula Editor like the below syntax:
If <db_field_name> = "<value B>"
OR <db_field_name> = "<value C>"
then "Group B"
This formula can be used as your second group by choosing Insert -> Group from the pull-down menus and specifying this formula name in the panel.
Thanks,
Amogh.

Writing a custom plugin for Crystal Report Designer

Hi,
I need to add a custom functionality to Crystal Report Designer so that itu2019s available as a menu option is the CRD and should able to be selected by the Report Designer when they design a report using CRD. Is it possible to write and add custom plugins to the CRD? Is there a SDK available to do this or is there a specific method that I could use? Is this supported at all? I need to add the to Crystal Report Designer XI R2 but I could use Crystal 2008 is this is available in that version.
Thank you in advance,

The "next" button of crystal report viewer does not work

hi
I use crystal report viewer control to show my crystal report on my aspx page.
like:
<CR:CrystalReportViewer id="CRViewer" runat="server" HasRefreshButton="False" PrintMode="ActiveX" DisplayGroupTree="False"
AutoDataBind="True"
SeparatePages="TRUE"
Height="520px"
Width="900px">
</CR:CrystalReportViewer>
however when I try to navigate to next page by click "Next" arrow button on the crystal report viewer toolbar, it only can navigate to the page 2, whatever I click the "Next" button, it still stay on page 2,
actually this report has 10 pages.
On the other hand, if I input the page number, such as 5 on the "goto" textbox, it will jump to page 5 correctly.
Could you give me any good advices to solve this problem?
Thanks.

There are a few threads discussing the issue in this forum. See if these provide some guidance:
"Next Page" wont go beyond page 2 in Html Viewer (Crystal.NET for VS 2008)

Adding Custom buttons to ECL Viewer

Hello Everyone,
We have a requirement where I need to add a custom button on the Redlining section of the ECL Viewer. Like currenty, SAP provides tools like Drawing a line or Square or Rectangle and also Insert Image kind of functionality when doing Redlining. So, the question is in this section along with SAP buttons, can I add a custom button out there which helps to provide my own functionality like adding custom drawing tools?
Please let me know if thats possible or does it requrie modifying some of the SAP DLL files.
Thanks,
Shashidhar.

Dear Shashidhar,
regarding your request I have to inform you that the ECL Viewer is developed by a third-party vendor company and so from SAP point of view there is no chance to enlarge the buttons for redlining in the ECL Viewer.

Error:When adding RDC runtime library (Crystal report XI R2) to Lotus notes

Background : We have reporting feature implemented in one of lotus notes application using crystal reports 6 (OCX) and as Crystal report is going to be upgraded to CR XI version in my organisation, we need to implement the same using RDC component available in crystal XI . we have installed Crytal report XI R2 - SP 6 version for testing the integration.
we are referring a document available on SAP web site(attached below) that illustrates the steps required to integrate the Crystal Reports® Report Designer Component into a Lotus® Dominou2122 application. http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/509b02de-a81e-2b10-f598-822b6d6f2024?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
Steps which have been outlined for adding runtime library in lotus domino application is shown below:-
1. In Domino Designer, add a Form to the application.
2. In the programmeru2019s pane, go to the (Declarations) handler of the Form and enter:
Dim App As Variant, Dim Rep As Variant
3. Select Create | Object and select the u201CControlu201D radio button in the u201CCreate Objectu201D dialog box that comes up. From the list of controls, select u201CCrystal Report Viewer Control.u201D This adds the control to the Form.
4. Click on the control and select Edit | Properties. In the u201CAppletu201D properties dialog, select the u201CSize object to fit windowu201D radio button and then close the properties dialog.
We are getting an error message while trying to add 'Crystal Report Viewer Control' control (illustated in Step 3 above) in the lotus notes form . Error message which we get is 'An error has occured while processing a request on an object'.
Alternatively , we created the object of Crystal Report Viewer on lotus notes form by adding viewer object file (Crviewer.dll) from the file system after selecting the u201CObject from a fileu201D radio button in the u201CCreate Objectu201D dialog box and added following code in the postopen event of lotus notes form .
Set m_Viewer = Source.GetObject("Crystal Report Viewer Control")
Set App = CreateObject("CrystalRuntime.Application")
Set Rep = App.OpenReport(u201Cc:lotus
otes
ep.rptu201D)
Set m_Viewer.ReportSource = Rep
Again, when lotus notes form is opened , it gives error 'Variant does not contain object' at 'Set m_Viewer.ReportSource = Rep' .
Can any one suggest us any workaround or if iit is not possible in CR XI R2 into a Lotus® Dominou2122 application. Also, can any one provide us sample code if CR 2008 version can be integatred with lotus notes.

I believe, Lotus was never a "supported" development platform, though it did work - at one time or another. Eventually it did not and you are at that point. I think it was CR 10 where it started to be impossible to add the viewer to Lotus. This was never fixed and we never did find out if this was a Lotus thing or a CR thing.
Re. CR 2008 and Lotus. The RDC has been retired in CR 2008, so no luck there either for you. The only SDKs available in CR 2008 are for .NET and Java.

Geographical Map does not show up in Crystal Reports 2008 Viewer

Hi,
I'm facing a problem by creating maps with CR2008 SP2. If I export the report directly to an pdf or html file the map is shown properly. If I'm using the CR 2008 Viewer to open the .rtp file there's an error message like 'not supported object: geographical map'.
Anyone else facing such problems?
Thanks for help,
