Combobox parameter promting in the web viewer

Hi all
I'm new to Crystal Report, and I'm developing a web application to share and view Crystal reports. I'm using the eclipse plug-in for that.
In some of the reports I want to share, there are parameters that are prompted with a combobox when I use Crystal Reports to view them, but When I use the web viewer, there is no combobox, only a simple field.
Is there any special parameter to add in my web viewer code to allow combobox prompting in the web viewer ?
Any help would by appreciated

I tried this out and it seems to work for me. With a blank report, I added a simple string parameter field, and provided a default value list. When viewing in the web viewer, I was prompted for the parameter field and it gave me a combobox with my list of default values.
If this is different from your scenario, can you provide more details about how the parameter field is created?
Also, when you say you use the Crystal Reports to view them, do you mean the standalone CR designer, or are you simply using the Preview tab found in the Eclipse report designer?

There is a bug in the spellchecking functionality when typing in the web view or while using Blogsy App. Why? Why my IPad crashes so often?

I have always found spell check to be "buggy" in every version of all of the iOS's that I have run on my original model iPad and my new iPad - especially when replying and typing posts in these forums. It works perfectly in every other application on my iPad but it has never worked perfectly in any web browser that I have used on my iPad - no matter what I have done to try to correct it. That is what MY experience has been with spell check on my iPads.
As for the crashes on your iPad try these basic troubleshooting steps.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Quit all apps and restart. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

How to get a form parameter and refresh the web web page itself?

I thought its easy as a piece of cake. But what I found out is that somehow it is getting the parameter after the web page is refreshed!
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
for navigation method
   //navigation method
    public Object refresh()
        return Navigation.HOME;
    }for web page
<h:commandLink value="Regenerate resutls" action="#{bean.refresh}">
                   <f:param name="algorithm" value="#{HomeMBean.algorithm}"/>
                </h:commandLink>

What I am trying to say here is:
for a web page, I want to refresh the web page based on a parameter chosen by users,
In web page:
<h:commandLink value="Regenerate resutls" action="#{bean.refresh}">
            <f:param name="algorithm" value="#{HomeMBean.algorithm}"/>
</h:commandLink>in managed bean:
    //navigation method
    public Object refresh()
        return Navigation.HOME;
    }also in managed bean:
String algorithm = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().
getExternalContext().getRequestParameterMap().get("algorithm");
        logger.debug("parameter="+algorithm);What I observed is I will never get the parameter "algorithm" before the web page is refreshed. In other words, the method setAlgorithm() is always called after the web page is rendered.
I in fact want to render the web page based on the parameter "algorithm".
I spent quite a lot time on it but can't figure out why.
My guess is for managed beans, I can't rely on one property to generate another property, is that right?
How should I solve this problem? Thanks a million!

First page appears blank when viewing a Crystal Report in the web viewer

I have seen threads and KB articles regarding this issue but the suggested solutions do not correct the issue. (KB articles [1423482 and 1439109)
The issue only started after upgrading from CR 2008 runtime to CR 2008 SP4 runtime.
When the page containing the viewer control first loads, the report pane is completely blank.
The viewer toolbars appear as expected, and the report can be exported using the Export button on the viewer toolbar without issue.
Changing the zoom level causes the first page of the report to appear as expected, and reverting the zoom level does not cause the report pane to become blank again.
Navigating to the next page of the report works and the second page appears as expected. Returning to the first page shows the first page of the report as expected.
Our application is installed on dozens of servers but this issue only has occurred on a few installations at this time.
Steps attempted to resolve the issue:
1. Uninstall CR 2008 SP4 runtime, confirm the CrystalReportViewers12 folders were removed from the folders C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727 and C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Common\4.0, then reinstall CR 2008 SP4 runtime.
2. Ensure there are no underscores in the server name.
3. Change the crystalreportsviewers12 Virtual Directory to use the folder C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727\CrystalReportViewers12
4. Remove and recreate the crystalrep[ortviewers12 Virtual Directory.
5. Replace the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\aspnet_client\system_web\2_0_50727\CrystalReportViewers12 folder from a server that does not exhibit the issue.
Any new ideas or suggestions? Thanks

Using the DPS Web Viewer "Web Viewer Only" option

upon investigation of the folio producer page, I noticed that there is a check box option for "Web Viewer Only". Can anyone explain how this option works? or where there is some documentation regarding how to use this option?
thanks.

Hi Neil,
I have read that article. I just am not sure if you have to "create" 2 separate folios. 1 for the "tablet device" and 1 to be accessed on the web.
I ask because you mentioned this: "In most situations you can just ignore it and publish an iPad rendition that will automatically get used for the web"
Thats where it gets confusing, I don't know if the ipad version will just automatically show up for the web viewer once that option is clicked. Without creating 2 folios. 1 for tablet. 1 for web viewer.
Ryan.

Web Viewer - getting buttons to open in a new tab or window

I am trying to get a button to open in a new tab or window in the DPS web viewer.
The options when creating a button are:
Open link in folio
Open link in device browser
Both which do not work when we export the web viewer.
I know it is possible as Adobe are using this function for their Inspire magazine. This does not seem to be html either that they are using. See link here - at the bottom of the page: Adobe Inspire Magazine October 2014: The Truth in a Face
Any help with this issue would be highly appreciated.

There is a parameter on creating the iFrame called externalLinksOpen. They can set it to 'window', as it defaults to inline, which opens it in the current window. It's documented here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/digitalpublishingsuite/ContentViewerForWebSDK-2.0/classes /FrameService.html#method_createFrame
There is also a demo linked from our 'What's New' section under 'External Link for Embedded Viewer' at http://www.adobe.com/devnet-docs/digitalpublishingsuite/ContentViewerForWebSDK-2.0/modules /What's%20New.html.

Web viewer issues

Help! I've set up my account so there is a web viewer version of our magazine. I've enabled the web viewer in DPS account administration, published a web only version of our magazine, constructed the web viewer parameter with the intention of embedding the iframe in our website. I tried embedding the viewer in the sample files provided in this article - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/digitalpublishingsuite/articles/embedded-web-viewer.html without luck. I can live without embedding the web viewer for now. I just want to view the publication in a browser to see if it's working. For the life of me, I can't figure out what the url would be to view the un-embedded content viewer?
Why does Adobe not mention a url anywhere in their guides so you can view your web publication? They walk you through creating the parameter, but never reveal the first part of the url. I'm guessing the url is - http://contentviewer.adobe.com/ with your individual web viewer parameter attached. I only found the url by locating the lone example of a web content viewer on the site and using the url - http://contentviewer.adobe.com/s/OHSU%20Extra/b58273a80e044872af6f3d626b8432a3/OHSU%20Extr a%20Spring/Extra%20Spring%202013%20Simulation.html#lastPage
My content viewer is not showing up using http://contentviewer.adobe.com/my%parameter
Not sure where to go from here? Are there any common roadblocks when a web viewer? Anything I could have missed?
Thanks

What version is the app?
Perhaps you can reply offline and let me know which publication you're referring to, what issue and what article?
I suspect that you might have a web rendition available. Also, is www.ourwebsite.com specified in your account settings as the hosting URL, the redirect URL or the Fulfillment level reached URL , and/or the paywall button URL

Web View not loading in Cocoa Applescript application?

Hey guys...me again, and I need help, AGAIN, haha.
I found a tutorial for web views in Cocoa Applescript because I couldnt find it anywhere, but it wont load.

I am using Cocoa Applescript.

    end doMyButton2_
end script
Whoever helps me will be thanked in my apps about page...
Thanks, Adam B

When I launch it...it says this:
2012-01-22 17:21:01.658 RecoverMe[96706:407] Error loading /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GreaseKit: dlopen(/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GreaseKit, 265): no suitable image found. Did find:
          /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GreaseKit: GC capability mismatch
Does that have anything to do with it not loading the webview?

Embedded Youtube Video's not Playing in Web Viewer

I have several YouTube videos embedded in my folios. They all play fine when being viewed in the app, but if the folio is shared (by any channel) and viewed in the web viewer these videos won't play. Instead the user is greeted by this error:
Not found
Invalid character in path
I know that other apps using embedded youtube videos are playing just fine in the web viewer (I check out Wired) so I'm curious why mine are broken.
Any thoughts?

This streaming YouTube example works fine in DPS Tips web viewer:
http://contentviewer.adobe.com/s/DPS%20Tips/7f80a0ffed3a4ff08734bc905aac4a29/Advanced_Over lays/29_Video_Stream.html
Here's the embed code I used:
<iframe width="640" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/QV1UZ-88HeE?rel=0" frameborder="0" ></iframe>
Are you using the same embed code format for your overlay?

Viewing and purchasing on Desktop / Web Viewer Question.

I understand that if you share free content via your iOS app it can be viewed in a browser (with some features missing like swiping of images .)
My question is this....
I have a Professional account... Can a person purchase the magazine and view the whole magazine via a Desktop computer with the DPS Web Viewer? Or its only limited to free content on your web browser but they have to have a iPad to view the whole mag? Do they get full access on the desktop if they purchase.
Thanks
Ron

For a professional customers, only the free content that was shared can be viewed on the web viewer/desktop. For enterprise customers, restricted content can be accessed via entitlement using the Content Viewer for Web SDK

Web Views Still Don't Auto Update in Keynote '08

So much to my disappointment, the web view feature still doesn't auto update in a self-running presentation. The web views still only update when you first open the document, and then not until you close it and re-open it again.
We have a kiosk at our company that shows slides with websites that have information that change during the day. Unfortunately it only shows the website's state as of when the document was opened, but it doesn't update as the presentation runs throughout the day.
Dang!!! I thought they were going to fix this.

It looks like this is an "as designed" feature. It updates the web view when the presentation launches, but won't do it each time it cycles through.
Bummer, but oh well. Maybe iLife '09

Parameters from SQL command not available in Web Viewer

Hello,
I recently built a report using Crystal Reports 2008, and I'm using it with CR4E 2.0 SP1. The report has had a SQL command inserted into it, instead of pulling in tables and taking the desired fields. This was done to speed up rendering time. The SQL command also has some parameters in it to adjust the date, etc.
When the report is viewed in CR4E under the web viewer, the parameters are not available to be changed. They will appear at first for the initial settings, but cannot be changed afterward. These parameters were set to "Editable" in CR2008. In fact, other reports will work this way, but those reports don't use SQL commands as a datasource. Is there another step I haven't completed?
Thanks so much for your help!
Edited by: John_AM on Jun 29, 2009 3:31 PM - Added CR4E version.

Borders in Matrix with Group Report Missing in Web view

Please help.
I have a matrix with group report. When it is viewed in Report Builder live preview is fine, but when I preview in web I got two problem
Problem 1 - preview as HTML
No borders? all my cell borders, frame borders gone missing.
Problem 2 - preview as HTML CSS
The borders are there, but some data in the matrix report displayed wrongly.
For example, the data is "01 APR 2000 1800 - 20 APR 2000 2000", what is showing in the web view is actually
"01"
"APR"
2000
1800
i.e., is broken down into few lines.
Can anyone please help. Btw I am using Oracle Report 6i.
Thanks.
Joshua

For Simple HTML output, you can only get horizontal lines out of Reports. You will lose all vertical lines as well as other graphical objects (eg: polygons, polylines, etc.) This is because these objects are not supported natively within HTML.
However, for HTMLCSS, you should be able to get a lot closer since rectangles are supported. Though again; polygons, polylines, etc. are not supported.
Not sure what is happening to your text, possibly an issue with browser settings or you may need to reduce the font size in Reports to get what you want.
As has already been suggested, for better WYSIWYG output for the web from Reports, PDF is the way to go.

Displaying Image in Oracle Reports 9i Web view

I can not just display the image in the web view of the Oracle reports version 9i. It is displaying in the paper layout view though. It is a database field queried with all other columns. Can somebody please tell me how to do this?

Hi Ujjal,
Search for a line similar to the one shown below in your report's web source (that is, the code that shows the image) - it will be in the data area generated by the Report Wizard:
<td <rw:headers id="HFadphoto241" src="HBadphoto241"/> class="OraCellText"><rw:field id="Fadphoto241" src="ad_photo" nullValue=" "> F_ad_photo </rw:field></td>
You need to change it to the following:
<td <rw:headers id="HFadphoto241" src="HBadphoto241"/> class="OraCellText"><rw:field id="Fadphoto241" src="ad_photo" nullValue=" " containsHtml="yes"> F_ad_photo </rw:field></td>
Notice the addition of:
containsHtml="yes"

Problems with diacritics/accents and paging in web viewer

There seem to be some problems in displaying diacritics/accents in the web viewer (CR4E 2 update 4).
On viewing a multi-page report containing accents, when the report is paged forwards/backwards the accented characters are corrupted. This is easily reproduced by creating a report which contains nothing apart from text including accented characters.
The characters render correctly when exported to pdf.
Has anyone else had issues with accented characters?
