INM Impressario - prompt user to choose where to save

Hi all,
I have created a PDF from a template on the fly, and I want to prompt the user to choose a folder where they can save the PDF which has been created from template.
With jpegs I have used BUDDY API, but I have not had much luck using BUDDY API with INM Impressario, can you suggest a way I can do this, and also if there are any known issues with Buddy API and Impressario.
Thanks
I am using"
D11.5 (PC, XP)
Impressario v4
Buddy API 4.07

Hi Mike,
I looked at the manual again and it says the following:
"Save with dialog
Parameters: Event: mouseUp or mouseDown
Impressario sprite is in channel: channel that contains the Impressario sprite
Description:
Opens a Save dialog box, to allow the user to save the current PDF document displayed in the sprite channel specified. The PathType is automatically set to Absolute.
Usage:
Drag this behavior onto a button or background object in a frame that contains an Impressario sprite"
The way my movie works is that, you can navigate through lots of different products which contain, images, synospsis and lots of other data which are changed dynamically as the user selects a different product.
Then if the user wants to have a hard copy of all the data on the product page they are on, they click the 'download pdf' button, at that point Impressario creates the PDF from a template using the assets already loaded into the product page.
At the moment I am able to specify where to save it using the 'savefromTemplate' function of impressario.
When I try and use Buddy API I dont get any error message, but I dont get any PDF either

  • Is there a way to choose where to save attachments?

    I've just upgraded to Mail 3.6 and when I save attachments I can't seem to choose where the files get saved, instead, they automatically get saved to the downloads folder. Is this is a bug? It adds an unnecessary extra step when trying to organize files. Thanks for any help!

    Try File>Save Attachments>a popup window gives options where to save...no?

  • I just want the option to "save as" when downloading a file so I can choose where to save it. Right now, I go back to my Internet Explorer to do this.

    I changed my setting to "always ask where to save files" and I went into my profile folder and deleted my preference folder.

    Did you check the download settings?

  • Java 1.5 Plug In Repeatedly prompts user to choose SSL client cert

    I am using version 1.5 of the Java PlugIn with IE6 on WIndows XP. I am accessing a web server that requires client SSL authentication. The applet I am using is a third party product called Business Objects Web Intelligence 6.5 Java Report Panel. The plugin is configured to use the browser's certificate repository. When I run the applet, I am repeatedly asked to choose my SSL certificate. Is there a way to change this behavior? Is it a problem with the applet itself or how the Java plugin or certificate is configured in Windows?

    Yeah, I'm in the same situation.
    Requesting two times the certificate is very ugly for our customers, and before we start the migration of our applets from MS plugin to Sun plugin, that should be resolved.
    Have anybody the solution?

  • Can I choose where to save the files every time?

    When I get files by email, it's very annoying they all get saved in the same place. I'd like the chance to decide, every time, where I want them to be downloaded to, so that I don't have to be moving them around or reorganizing them later.
    Also, is there an option to just open the file instead of downloading it? Some times I just want to see the content of the file, not necessarily save it in my computer.
    Thanks!

  • Prompting users for confimation when closing browser window

    Hi All,
    I would like to prompt the user with a popup-screen asking for confirmation that he wants to close the browser when hitting the browser-close ('X') button. Is this possible ?
    If the user chose to cancel the browser window shoud remain open, with all content as it was... and of course if he chooses to continue the window should just close.
    the WDA app is straight forward, and not running inside the portal.
    Thanx in advance
    -Tonni

    Hi Tonni,
    I thought I should add - the portal does implement a work protection mode that does allow you to prompt users if they navigate away from your page - and one of the best ways to implement that is through the FPM and its work protect mode interface.
    However, that still doesn't help, I'm afraid, in the case where you're trying to stop the user closing the browser window...
    I should also point out that some browsers do indeed produce an event which can be trapped on close of the window, and have been hugely exploited by website designers - to the extent that later/better versions no longer support it. Remember the web pages that when you closed spawned 3 more, and those 3 more etc. etc.
    Cheers,
    Chris
    edit:  also worth pointing out that the "Close" button provided within a portal session by the FPM is a form of navigation and can be trapped. Likewise any internal navigation button that perform the same sort of thing within your app.

    One way of doing this is to use either a ring or enum where the strings
    presented to the user are "1", "10", or whatever you like. On the
    diagram, the values will be 0, 1, 2, in a compact counting sequence.
    Then do an array index into a constant. If this is done more than one
    place, make the control a typedef so you can keep them consistent an
    d
    make the index be done in a subVI. Then whenever you need this, you
    drop the control and the subVI, out comes the integer, float, or
    whatever it is you want to index.

  • Prompt user, when hitting with SUBMIT button

    Hello folks,
    I have application with student record, on 1st page user enters student's name and on 2nd page user enters students grade and their are two buttons on 3rd page saying SAVE and SUBMIT, with the hitting of both the buttons students record enterred by the user will be INSERTED into DB table.
    Now I want to add a functionality saying, student_name as mandatory filled <b>only when user hits SUBMIT button</b> on 3rd page, hence user cannot submit leaving mandatory filled as empty. So I want to prompt a window on 3rd page with the student_name item where user can enter student's name and hit OK button the same prompted window which will help user to SUBMIT that particular student.
    any idea how to achieve it, how to validate and prompt user, when user submits students without entering mandatory items/fields.
    Thanks
    Deep.

    Hi Dan,
    Thanks for replying, yes I'm very aware about your reply but I'm having req. so was trying to implement same into my current application.
    I tried a small example into apex workspace to better understand have a look into it:-
    workspace :- deepapex
    username :- [email protected]
    password :- walubu
    application "Prompt_only_for_Submit"
    I kept validation on page 3 if user doesnt enters student_name(on page 1) upto here it's working perfect than I started implementing JavaScript to open a prompt, but I want to open this prompt only when user doesnt enters student_name on page 1 and not everytime, also within this prompt I was looking how to have text_box item where user can enter student_name on page 3 where he actually forgotted to enter on page 1, so this new student_name item will go into insert process and hence this will be done, I'm away of the logic but really lacking to implement it.
    So if you can help little it will be glad to you.
    Thanks
    Deep.

  • Prompting user for their choice of mailbox in Mail.app

    All I want to do is ask the user to choose a mailbox in Mail.app. But, there is a problem:
    "mailbox Y of account X" shows
    mailbox "FULL/PATH/TO/Y" of account X of application "Mail"
    while "name of mailbox Y of account X" shows
    "Y"
    This makes it awfully hard to prompt users for their choice of mailbox. I could go up the containers of mailbox Y, until I get to account, but this takes quite a long time.
    Is there a good reason for this behavior of the "name" property?

    Similar to Hiroto - 'I'm not sure what you're looking after.'
    Thus, below is some sample code to work with:
    tell application "Mail"
    set tMailboxes to mailboxes of account "sl-ugs" -- Obtain mailboxes of specific account.
    set nList to {} -- List to contain mailboxes names.
    repeat with i in tMailboxes -- Cycle through mailboxes of specific account.
    copy (name of i) to end of nList -- The name of each mailbox is placed into 'nList'.
    end repeat
    -- Provide an interface for the user to select a desired mailbox.
    set tSelection to (choose from list nList without multiple selections allowed and empty selection allowed) as string
    repeat with i from 1 to (count tMailboxes) -- Cycle through the list of mailboxes.
    if ((item i of nList) is equal to tSelection) then exit repeat -- Determine list location of selected mailbox (in 'tMailboxes')
    end repeat
    set tMailbox to item i of tMailboxes -- Obtain full listing of selected mailbox
    set tMessages to messages of tMailbox -- The messages of the selected mailbox.
    set mList to {} -- List to contain 'subject', 'from' and 'date received' field items of each message of the selected mailbox.
    repeat with j in tMessages -- Cycle through the list of messages.
    -- The 'subject', 'from', and 'date received' field items of each message of the selected mailbox are placed into 'mList'.
    tell j to copy {subject, sender, date received} to end of mList
    end repeat
    -- Example code showing 'tMailbox', 'nList', 'tSelection', list location of selected mailbox, messages of 'tMailbox', and finally - the 'subject', 'from', and 'date received' field items of each message of 'tMailbox'.
    tMailboxes & return & return & nList & return & return & tSelection & return & return & i & return & return & (messages of tMailbox) & return & return & mList

  • Modifying "Prompt user for input"

    Hi, all.
    Is there any "Prompt user for input" VI where I can include enum or ring type inputs? If not, how can I modify the "Prompt user for input" VI to do that?
    Thanks,
    Francisco
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Right click on the express VI and select 'Open Front Panel'. This will convert it to a regular VI that you can edit. Or, just create your own VI from scratch. Look at the shipping examples for 'pop-up's.

  • Creating Drop Down or Option selection for prompt user input.

    Hello,
    I wanted to know how can I create a drop down menu that has predefined values? I have the prompt user input vi. When it says enter voltage..i want the user should be able to select from a drop down menu values..also is it possible to have a predefined set of values from which a user can select...say 5 values are displayed and user selects one of them each time the vi is run...can this be realized..kindly help.
    Thanks.
    Ravi

    Hi Ravi,
    you can use a text ring  or a menu ring control located on the Ring and Enum on the control pallete.
    for a pre defined value you can edit that control to have what ever values you want from the user to input.
    You can change the menu option by right clicking on the ring control and choosing Edit items from the list and use the values you want.

  • Difference b/w Prompts,User POV,Grid POV & Pages

    Hi
    What is the difference between Prompts,User POV,Grid POV & Pages....When do we use them.
    Thnks

    Hi Ann
    Kelly is right the details are all in the documentation that should be easily available... My thoughts and experience of the different options are as follows and may help you:
    Pages: Provide multiple choices for one or more dimensions in a drop down list within the report. Be a bit careful with these, I've avoided them as in earlier versions reports with a lot of members in on the page drop down list took a long time to load. This may have improved with the more recent releases but I've not really used them for a while
    Prompts: Allow users to select member(s) for the report at run-time. Personally I'm not keen on these as it takes more user selections (clicks of the mouse) to actually get to your report each time, I prefer to use the POVs
    Grid POV: Similar to user POV but I've tended to use them where I want to use a fixed member from a dimension e.g. 'Actual' or 'YearTotal' but not show it in the report grid rows or columns (useful if you have several dimensions this can apply to)
    User POV: I find this the most useful for things that change regularly like Year, Location, Scenario, Version, particularly in combination with the Grid POV as mentioned above. The User POV is stored for each user and the last POV used is applied to the next report when opened
    Good luck with your report building, I'm sure you'll develop your own preferences as you get used to the options.

  • "Open VI Reference" Option "Prompt user to find missing subVIs"

    I am using "Open VI Reference" to dynamically load a VI. For the "option" control of the "Open VI Reference" node, I pass "0x10" or "10" in hexadecimal, which supposedly "prompt user to find missing subVIs." Nevertheless, I don't get a prompt message dialog when I intentionally pass an invalid or missing VI path. Instead I just get an Error Code 7. What does this option "Prompt user..." suppose to do?

    Make sure you set the properties on the integer input into the “options” control to the “Open VI Reference” to be a Hexadecimal format (right-click on the “options” control input, select Format and Precision…, then select Hexadecimal). Now, if you re-run your VI and wire in a VI with a missing subVI, the Open VI Reference will appear with a dialog that will prompt you to browse to the missing subVI. This is exactly the same message LabVIEW displays when it attempts to open a VI and cannot find its subVIs.
    I’ve attached a simple example program to demonstrate. Enter the path to the “number extractor.vi” as the VI to open. You should see a dialog prompt appear asking for the “Search 1D Array – Complete.vi”.
    Hope this helps!

    Right click and select Open front panel >> Convert.
    Change the vi as you need. then you can save it as a normal sub-vi.
    If you have Labview 8.6, maybe (i am not sure) you can edit the express vi. Express vis are supported in 8.6
