Produce-zero-paged report
-
Hi,
Due to the complexity of my report, I am pretty much entirely building it through a series of pdf utils through the afterRender on my main template. The main template may or may not produce content depending on some variables. If I produce no content then I don't want to render a page and then I would just keep appending more sections in afterRender. Can I make a template not produce a page? Alternatively, if I can delete a page in 'res' in afterRender that would also do the job. - is this possible?

Hi,
please elaborate more on your use case so we can discuss the solution.
If the main template shouldn't produce a page/content, you can in afterRender of main just skip the
res.contentand instead start appending from the first template you want to append. Something wrong with this?

Ok thanks Jan, so if my main template is expected to produce no content, then in afterRender() I next call my next template (template2 let's call it) and after it comes back, I just set res.content to template2's content?

Yes, that was the idea.
