Hello, @admin, I'm just following up on this issue.

Hello,

I'm trying to create a docx report with submarkets array, and a nested items array. I want each submarket to repeat a table of items. Here's a playground ilustrating my problem:

https://playground.jsreport.net/w/lukuser/cleGQAvm

Template V2 seems to represent tables for each 2 items one on top of another. While template V2.1 doesn't show any data. The difference between them is the location of the initial tag {{#each submarkets}}. In both templates the submarkets table seems to be correctly between {{#each submarkets}} tag and the closing {{/each}} tag, but in template V2 it is higher (under the black header).

I found the issue. I was missing the # on the opening each tag.

I'm trying to use the xlsx helper, but I'm running into an error:

xlsxSData doesn't match each

My playground demonstrating the issue:

Is there a way to create an excel table with html-to-xlsx?

I have a folder-scope script file sharedhelpers.js shared by multiple reports. One of the reports has a script with beforeRender. How can I call a function defined in sharedhelpers.js from the report script's beforeRender()?

Thanks @msageryd, yes my header data is static within a given report template, but variable to the pdf-utils header, which is reusable in all reports. Adding the script where I set my repot title and other stuff worked the way you both suggested using BeforeRender. Thank you.

Hello, thanks for the replies. @msageryd the example you provided for now is a bit too advanced for me to fully comprehend without a playground example. As you can see in my playground example, my header doesn't seem to require a loop. @admin's solution does seem to work if I include the report header string in the json data. Trouble is it won't come with the data but rather each report has it "hardcoded". As I understand I can append these extra properties to the data at beforeRender, or try to implement global variables and read them in the header maybe. I found a forum article that suggests how global variables can be leveraged: https://forum.jsreport.net/topic/1850/helpers-use-top-level-variables-and-functions/3.

Hi @admin , please let me know if this is doable.

Thanks @admin, to be more precise, the header will have two logos (our and clients) on the left and right extremities, report title, which would have to be dynamically passed in from different report templates, and a color line on top. I already got the pdf-utils to work, except I can't figure out how to pass in the report title. Would you be able to help me with that? Here's my playground:
https://playground.jsreport.net/w/lukuser/rGuxQcvL. In this example the report title is hardcoded as "Report Title Here" but each report would have to pass in the correct title.

I'm getting into the pdf development now using the chrome-pdf and handlebars. I'd like to develop multiple reports with some common reusable elements, including a common header and footer. A header will have a standard logo and a report title (which would have to be dynamically passed to the header template). After looking at the documentation, there seems to be several ways this can be done:

Using pdf-utils header and footer, implements a separate template but it's integrated within one report. From there I suppose I could replace the default code by component? Then there are also ways to do this programmatically, child templates, sub-templates (https://jsreport.net/learn/jsrender#sub-templates), layouting... Which way would be the best?

My template has a center image holder. Is there a way to have the image keep its aspect ratio and be contained within (in the center of) the image shape boundry? I tried usePlaceholderSize= true but then the image is stretched. Itried using just the height, but then if the image is bigger than the page, it falls off the page (even height-wise) no matter what the height value is. Or if the image is smaller than the container , it get's aligned in the upper left corner of the container instead of in the center...

Hello, I'm trying to paginate an inner data object represented by the suites table on the playground example. The max lines on that table can be max of 3. Is there a way to repeat a building record with remaining suites if there are more than 3 suites associated to a give building (as in building 432)? The overall max number of suites in a building can be upwards of 20 in production.

I have seen a previous post discussing pagination here: https://forum.jsreport.net/post/12353, but I can't seem to be able to port this into a multilevel object structure like in the example.

Hello @bjrmatos, this is still not working. Was the fix released yet?

Thank you. @bjrmatos. I'll keep track of the releases to catch that one. Hopefully It'll be soon as our application relying on jsreports was in production when this happened. We'd have to write off a significant dev-time investment if we had to move on to another reporting solution now. For now we ask our users to select an extra record and the page is then discarded when the pptx is printed out...

Hello,

pptx helper seems to fail when using pptxSlides helper with only one array element:

https://playground.jsreport.net/w/lukuser/UsE_lRgu

This used to work, but my templates started to fail since approx. last week..

This happened before too:
https://forum.jsreport.net/topic/3035/can-t-render-pptx-report-with-pptxslides-with-only-one-slide

Hi @admin, it works now. Thanks for the help.

Hi @admin, no, I'm not behind a proxy. Your sample pptx previews fine, but none of my pptx files work.
jsreportonline version: 3.13.2
jsreport version: 3.13.0

I tried another machine, another location (home vs work), same effect. I tried reuploading, but no change. Like I said, templates that used to work in preview/run now don't without changes. They all still work when rendered using API though.

Hello,

This morning all our templates pptx report an error when pressing "preview" in jsreport studio in the browser. These templates were previously working correctly and no changes were made. The "run" in the studio also doesn't work. What's interesting is that those templates render just fine when using API. Also in the studio, I have other templates using docx helper and those preview and run correctly. The error reported in the preview pane is :

Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'error').

It is display using dark grey on black so it's barely visible:

but I can read it when I highlight it:

Hello I use the the browser client in appsmith to render some pptx and docx report. appsmith lets me connect an external library, so I use this link to connect : https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@jsreport/browser-client@3.1.1/+esm

The browser_client works for awhile, but eventually it disconnects and I get "browser_client is not defined" and I have to remove and re-add the library. Any idea why this happens? Other libraries in use in the application work fine.
