Hi, you use jsreport.exe binary, right?
Could you share the whole error?

It could help to explicitly set the temp folder. Like jsreport start --tempDirector=mytemp

Hm, I tried the same version of jsreport, the same paths and It works for me.
I guess you tried to reload the studio to see if the asses is still there, maybe someone else deleted it in the meantime.
Otherwise its a bit mysterious issue. Nothing comes to my mind why it shouldn't work.

Is there any chance you would be able to email me an export?

In this case, something has deleted chrome.exe, not the jsreport binary. But chrome.exe was extracted from the jsreport binary.
As noted before, I would recommend configuring jsreport tempDirectory somewhere next to your application where you can guarantee nothing else is meddling with files there.

doh! my bad jsreport.exe configure. Forgot about that

If people want a footer also then use

$( document ).ready(function() { $('[class]').filter(function() { return $(this).css('page-break-before').toLowerCase().indexOf('always') > -1; } ).before("This is the footer").append("Put custom header here."); });

Yes, using odata API. See it described in the docs.

I also recommend to open browser F12 tools and try to upload an asset using jsreport studio. You should see the creation request example. In this case you need to send content and name property where the content is base64 representation of the image.

I don't need proof. I would like you to make it easier for us and replicate the issue in minimal repository or project we can download and test. Thank you.

Btw there is upload button if you click "reply". Also the ctrl+v of image from clipboard works. Just the same way as in github.

I believe you have one merge operation that includes header with page numbers?
And this operation runs before the prepend operation?
This means it has no clue about the pages prepended yet.
You should change the order of operations and run the merge after the prepend.

The best products out there are not always technical masterpieces.
They are ones that just work. Now I'm no expert but most reporting systems would allow this kind of content to be shared by all reports without having to manually include everywhere.

OH how annoying. It was empty just because I was playing/testing 2.2.0... Maybe a bit more defensive development is required in JSReport.

Hi Jan, Sorry it's my client's report I don't think he will appreciate me doing that. I have TeamViewer maybe I can show you sometime?
I am still getting problems. I wonder if it has anything to do with importing templates that are from 1.8.2 and was using phantom?
I have just received a red screen of death. How can I upload an image?

Thanks, Jan. using {{if #parent.parent.data.value == (#data + 1)}} worked

ahhhaaaaa Easy when you know how :) Thanks Jan

Thanks for the reply. I've had a play with what you suggest but data seems to be nothing???

My goal is to have a data file for a report and in the template access that data directly.

From data file...

{
"Status": "O",
"AssetAssessments": [
{
"CountOfFindings": 1,
"EquipmentCompliesWithStandard": "N/A",
"Findings": [
{

In report template

{{:data.Findings.length}}

See what I mean ?

What other parameters can be set?

i think it is possible to define any other parameter that you see in properties of a template, it is not possible to add in docs the full list because jsreport is composed from extensions and the properties available are always dynamic depending on the extensions you use. when seeing a template from studio you can click on "API" button to get a overview of each property available in your installation.

Can I default the engine to use JSRender, rather than having to set it on the properties of the child template?

yes, you can set from child template call that the engine should be always jsrender.

<h1>this is parent</h1> {#child child @template.engine=jsrender @template.recipe=html}

I've upgraded my development version of JSReport to 1.8.2 and now it fails to generate the reports. I know I am running behind the current version but is this a known problem in 1.8.2?

i don't remember seeing such error in that version of jsreport. the error Template must contains _id, shortid or content attribute. should only be thrown when your input request does not contain a template object with any of those attributes _id, shortid, content.

if you can upload some repository with some simple version of the template that it is failing i will analyze it and run a debug session with it, it can be a problem with the data that you are sending, maybe a problem with some script you have, or maybe a jsreport bug, but to be able to know it i need a case to replicate it.

if you are rendering with http API it will help to know what is the actual request shape that you are sending for a template that fails.

I think this is causing me the same problem when I send to API. I send the template & the data. It says its processes fine but the PDF is already 2 - 3mb in size and when I open them nothing is there.

can you share the code that you are using to send the request to jsreport? maybe there is something wrong

Moved everything off of client-side javascript, and into .NET. Everything is working great. Mocked up some of our more complex reports. We're replacing both Crystal and Oracle OBIEE reports with jsreport. Boss is buying license for us. Thank you for a great product!

i think this section describes what is that window. that window is a place where you can define helpers functions for your template engine.

I need to combine the script with the HTML this is where the problem is for me.
The combination of having the script in with the template. I've changed your example to show hows it's working. I need it working like this for our production service. which doesn't use the development studio.

why do you need to have that function in the html in order to make it work on your production server? it does not matter if you don't use the studio in production, you can develop the template + helpers using the studio in your local machine and then you can deploy to production what you have on local, then your template will have everything it needs in production no matter if you don't use studio there.

@Mark-Sullivan i already answered your email, please check the docs in full first, this thread is 3 years old so it is not the best place to discuss or ask about the current situation of page numbering.

i'm going to also copy my email answer here for future reference.

you can achieve page numbers doing some pdf manipulation, this can be done with the pdf-utils, there you can find examples about how to do different things, for your case the specific example is this
