Template anatomy II

Hi , i was looking for help about having fixed row number in the body and footer always at the same position on the last page, i 've found on the blog the template anatomy and for the first problem it was the solution. For the second it works only when i have in the body more lines than the lines i want in the page BUT if i have e.g. only two lines in a single invoice the filling line is wrong. How can i modify this to solve my problem ?
Thanks

First of all thanks for your reply,
it's just the example i've tried to apply to my situation , but when there are only few lines it doesn't work.
Trying to understand why i've made some fields printed on the page so i've found that in this case
<?if:not(count($invLines) mod $lpp=0) and ($start+$lpp>count($invLines))?>
<?for-each:$invLines?>
<?if:position()<$lpp - (count($invLines) mod $lpp)?>
if count($invLines) is equal to 2 i have only 2 blank lines.... when this number is greater it works.
Could you confirm this ?
Thanks

Invoice Template problem - Putting a Header field in repeating Lines rows

Dear experts,
I would be grateful for a problem I am having with an Invoice statement I am developing (Oracle Applications 11.5.10 with BI Publisher version 10.1.3.4). This is very similar to the one in Tim Dexter's Blog (Anatomy of a Template):
http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/03/anatomy_of_a_template_ii_heade.html
My requirement is to add a single line into the lines table, as seen in the Blog, which is a COMMENTS field from the header part of the XML and the problem is that it can be 1 line to maybe 5 lines. This is only on the first page. This causes problems as I don't know how to find out how far down the lines table I may be after adding this COMMENTS header field in here, to then know how many lines to loop over to ensure that the lines do not carry on printing over the bottom of the page e.g. if the COMMENTS is 3 lines - how do I know this to then only print 3 minus the maximum lines per page ($lpp) only on the first page?
Any pointers would be of great help.
Many thanks,
Mark

The COMMENTS field I've found out can be of any varible size and include carriage returns. For example, could be:
JD Trx special instructions 010908
FAO: PETER MUSCUTT
REF: FERRY ROAD 2351
========================
INCOME DUE TO COMPANY FOR
THE OPERATION OF EFERRY
ROAD CAR PARK
This causes such problems as being able to know how many lines this field will be, so that I know where to start the first Lines row in the invoice and also how many lines I can put on this first page (starting point - $lpp).
One method I thought would be to count how many characters there are in this field, when it reaches the line size on the invoice, increment a count varible that would be used to indicate the starting point for the first lines record. I would need to compare each character and if it is a carriage return, then increment the count also. This seems quite a heavy wieght way to solve this and would welcome any over ideas.
Thanks,
Mark

Need help with a flash template

I'm an action script novice, so I downloaded a cool Flash template to beef up a part of a project I'm working on.
That template rotates thumbnails of web sites in a 3D space.
When user clicks on them they launch a new web page.
What I did:
I substituted the web thumbnails with characters and each character has an swf (info on each character) that i would like to load when user clicks on that character. Now, this thumbnail swf is loaded into a holder within a main movie when user clicks on "The Sensetionals" of the main buttons (in that main movie).
What I want to do:
1. When user clicks on each charater, I would like that character's swf to load into the same holder as the thumbnail swf.
Then I would have a close button that will unloadmovie that character swf and load back the thumbnail swf.
2. In the thumbnail swf, i would like to see the names of each character when user rolls over them. It's in the original code now, and shows up when I test the thumbnail swf on its own, but it's not showing up when it plays inside holder of the main movie. AND it's under the shadow/reflections, not readable. So, I would like to see it show up AND on top of the reflections.
Here's the link to view my version.
NOTE: ENTER ENGLISH ONLY
http://www.sensetionals.com/SenseTest/
I hope that's clear and not asking too much, but I'm really stuck and desperate here.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here's the current code inside the thumbnail source file:
stop();
// total is length of label_list OR link_list
// OR total frames inside "flashmo thumbnails"
var total:Number = 13;
// length of label_list array and length of link_list array must be equal
// to length of frames inside "flashmo thumbnails" movieclip
var label_list:Array = new Array( "Dr Anatomy", "Feelix", "Eyeris", "T Buds", "Earl", "Nosey", "Dr Von Micron", "Karlos", "Tiny", "Funguy", "Protozoom", "Virusam", "Bacterio");
var link_list:Array = new Array("AnaTomyMov.swf", "FeelixMov.swf", "EyerisMov.swf", "BudMov.swf", "EarlMov.swf", "NosieMov.swf", "VonMicronMov.swf", "KarlosMov.swf", "TinyMov.swf", "FunguyMov.swf", "ProtozoomMov.swf", "VirusamMov.swf", "BacterioMov.swf");
var radiusX:Number = 330;
var radiusY:Number = 90;
var centerX:Number = 400;
var centerY:Number = 140;
var speed:Number = 0.005;
tn_group_mc._visible = false;
info.text = ""; fm_label.text = "";
for (var i = 0; i<total; i++)
var t = tn_group_mc.duplicateMovieClip("tn"+i, i);
t.tn_mc.gotoAndStop(i+1); t.tn_shadow_mc.gotoAndStop(i+1);
t.fm_label = label_list[i];
t.fm_url = link_list[i];
t.angle = i * ((Math.PI*2)/total);
t.onEnterFrame = mover;
t.fm_button.onRollOver = function()
fm_label.text = " " + this._parent.fm_label;
t.fm_button.onRollOut = function()
info.text = ""; fm_label.text = "";
t.fm_button.onRelease = function()
getURL(this._parent.fm_url);
function mover()
this._x = Math.cos(this.angle) * radiusX + centerX;
this._y = Math.sin(this.angle) * radiusY + centerY;
var s = this._y /(centerY+radiusY);
this._xscale = this._yscale = s*100;
this.angle += this._parent.speed;
this.swapDepths(Math.round(this._xscale) + 100);
this.onMouseMove = function()
speed = (this._xmouse-centerX) * 0.0001;

Printing fixed number of Invoice Line in rtf template with level two group

Hi,
I have to print fixed number of invoice lines on a page. Invoce tempalte design has a table with header and summary(Invoice , tax and shiping totals) at each page in table footer. The table should repeate at each page with header and footer. I need to print specific number of rows or number of rows wihich page can accumulate in table body on each page.
I checked few blogs giving solution for fixed number of rows printing say
"Anatomy of a Template I - Fixed Row Enumeration"(http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2007/03/27/)
and
http://oracle.anilpassi.com/xml-publisher-developing-reports-printed-on-pre-printed-stationary-2.html
Above two blogs explanation has only one group at line level. but in my case there are two groups (Parent and child) at line level. I am able to count rows in parent group but it is not counting lines in child group.

Will it be possible for you to move the 1st and 3rd sections to header/footer?
So that if the 2nd section spills over to next page too, starting position of 3rd section wont be affected.

Editing a Web Template in Dreamweaver

Is there a way I can edit a template permanantly in Dreamweaver?
I use one of the provided templates and use the 'Contact' field as an external link. However I need two links not one, (apart from the header), so if there is a way to add an extra link would be great.

And/or if statement in rtf templates.

Hi all,
I'm using XML Publisher 4.5.
I have created a word template file (rtf) for my reports. I need to be able to show some content in the template file by using and and/or if statement.
fx. <?if:doc_type='STANDARD'?> OR <?if:doc_type='DEFAULT'?>
How can I do this?
In advance thank you.
Best regards
Kenneth

Hi D,
Thank you for your answer.
I have seriously thought about that solution; but I don't think it's a smart way to do it.
If i do it like that, i need to copy the whole table and paste it inside the if statements.
I have two xml elements that I need to make the decisions on. POH_PO_TYPE & CP_RELEASE_NUM.
POH_PO_TYPE can be: STANDARD, RELEASE or BLANKET.
CP_RELEASE_NUM can be: '' or N
If POH_PO_TYPE is RELEASE AND CP_RELEASE_NUM is not ''
OR POH_PO_TYPE is STANDARD
OR POH_PO_TYPE is BLANKET AND CP_RELEASE_NUM is ''
THEN show table (which contains the whole PO).
It shall show the content of the PO in any of these cases.

How to round numbers in RTF templates?

Hello!
I'm using BI Publisher for Word (Oracle BI Publisher Builder for Word 10.1.3.4.1) to build a template to my BI Publisher report and I want to calculate this:
avg(X)/(avg(Y)-avg(Z)/0.9)
The result should be rounded to 3 places.
I tried:
<?(sum(X) div count(X)) div ((sum(Y) div count(Y)) - (sum(Z) div count(Z)) div 0.9)?>
and I obtained the expected result.
But, when I try to round in this way:
<?xdofx:round((sum(X) div count(X)) div ((sum(Y) div count(Y))-(sum(Z) div count(Z)) div 0.9),3)?>
I obtain 0 when is expected other value.
Can someone help me?

Relative path for images in RTF templates

Hi everybody!
When I insert an image in a RTF template, I put its path into the web dialog, in order to see correctly the picture when I open the report from the xmlp server, in this way: url:{"http://servername/analytics/res/Images/image.bmp"}
How can I make this path relative, in order to see the images even if the server name changes?
Thanks so!

Hi Tim,
I am using BIP 10.1.3.3.2. I am able to access system variable CURRENT_SERVER URL.
Steps:
<?param@begin:CURRENT_SERVER_URL?>
<xsl:value-of select="$ CURRENT_SERVER_URL"/>
CURRENT_SERVER_URL is getting printed in BI Publisher. Value displayed is http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/xmlpserver.
Now we are importing xsl into RTF template. File aaa.xsl is stored at [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app]
We have hardcoded the path for XSL in RTF. The path is <?import: http://xx4697.xxx.co.in:9704/aaa.xsl?>
As we want to set dynamic path we changed hardcoded xsl path to <?import: {$CURRENT_SERVER_URL}/../aaa.xsl?> but it is not working. Sometimes BIP is taking local path of MyDocuments folder and sometimes Desktop path. If I put that XSL file in MyDocuments folder or Desktop, it is working fine. But ideally it should refer [BIP_Installation_Directory\oc4j_bi\j2ee\home\default-web-app] path...
Thanks,

Help with math / calculations in RTF templates

Greetings,
I know that there are math capabilities in the templates... I've seen the code samples in the Core Components guide.
What this doesn't tell you is WHERE these things would go in a template. And... that... is my question.
We are just starting to use BIP in conjunction with JDE EnterpriseOne (8.12, tool set 8.97.12). For our first attempt we're creating our template over a new report.
I have a template where I sum two different repeating values (through the normal BI Properties) and place these values in two separate cells in a table. I want to sum the two of these together for a "grand" total.
I've seen the "examples" but they really aren't very helpful. The xsfo, etc. for doing addition is fine, but WHAT are the values to add and WHERE does the code go?
If anyone has done something like this or has experience using the embedded code I would appreciate hearing from you.
Thanks in advance

I see what you are saying about the spaces... but it made no difference... still got the error.
The XML file is too large and convoluted to be pasted here.
With reqards to the following snippet:
COLA = <?sum(current-group()/COLA)?>
COLB = <?sum(current-group()/COLB)?>
Summ== <?sum(current-group()/COLA) + sum(current-group()/COLB)?>
Where does THIS code go?

Grouping and Decimal characters in rtf templates.

Hi guys and girls,
I’m really struggling with a problem here regarding the decimal characters for the prices in my output.
I'm using XML Publisher 5.6.3.
My goal is to control the grouping and decimal character from my template.
The numbers in the XML data file can either be 10.000,00 or 10,000.00. The format is handled by the users nls_numeric_characters profile option.
The output of the template shall be based on the locale and not the data generated by Oracle Reports. For example: Reports to US customers shall show the numbers in the following format 10,000.00. Reports to our European customers shall show the numbers in this format 10.000,00.
How can I achieve this in my templates? Can it be achieved at all?
Thank you in advance.
Kenneth Kristoffersen
Edited by: Kenneth_ on May 19, 2009 1:30 AM

Hi,
Thank you for your reply.
The problem is that the report is generating the output based on the users profile option nls_numeric_characters.
I have tried to override the users profile option in the before report trigger without any luck. I can alter selects so the query gets the numbers in the right format but then I would have to go through all queryes and reports which seem a bit wrong? Especially for the standard Oracle reports.

Resetting Header and Footer in RTF templates

Hi,
I developed an RTF template (template 1). This template contains start:body and end body for printing the header and footer in all pages. After printing this template then i have to call another template(template 2) from this. I called the template (template 2) using call statement. But the probelm is that the header and footer of template1 is printed in the output of template2 .
I dont want to print this header and footer for template 2. Can anyone please suggest me in doing this. I placed start:body and end body in the second template with the assumption that 1st template's header and footer will be overwritten. But if i preview then am getting the error

Hi,
Do you have two templates (template1 & template2) that you want to display in the same document where the pages for template1 has one set of header and footers; and template2 has another set of header and footer?
If that is the case you can simply create a new section in your rtf template so you have section1 and section2.
In the body of section1 you call template1 and template2 in the body of section2.
You can then have different header and footers for the two templates in the same document.

Complex if statement in rtf template?

Hello,
I want to build an if statement in rtf template, the idea is like:

what's the correct way to do it if it is possible? Thanks in advance!

Conditional statements, in the user guide or the report developer guide, depending on the version you use.
Page 7-62 in the 10.1.3.2 user guide:
Use an if statement to define a simple condition; for example, if a data field is a specific value.
1. Insert the following syntax to designate the beginning of the conditional area.
<?if:condition?>
2. Insert the following syntax at the end of the conditional area: <?end if?>.
For example, to set up the Payables Invoice Register to display invoices only when the Supplier name is "Company A", insert the syntax <?if:VENDOR_NAME='COMPANYA'?> before the Supplier field on the template.
Enter the <?end if?> tag after the invoices table.Thanks for the reply. But what about two conditions in one if statement? That was my question. :)
