hi!

for template v2.1 is clear that the issue is that the loop does not output anything, for template v2 what is the issue?

it is the that the rows are overlapping each other, right?

i have added to the backlog to check this case, we will get to it.

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

An example

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.

hi @lukuser

can you share a playground link to the template you are using? and also share a pptx file with the desired output you want, this will give me a better idea of what is missing/failing

hi @lukuser

i believe this should work, take a look

https://playground.jsreport.net/w/bjrmatos/DxCB_tRG

i have modified the pptx to have this call at the top {{pptxSlides (chunksBySuites buildings)}} and then just added the chunksBySuites helper

function* _chunk(buildings, maxSuites) { for (let i = 0; i < buildings.length; i ++) { const { suites, ...rest } = buildings[i] for (let j = 0; j < suites.length; j += maxSuites) { const newBuilding = { ...rest } newBuilding.suites = suites.slice(j, j + maxSuites) yield newBuilding; } } } function chunksBySuites(buildings) { const maxSuites = 3 return [..._chunk(buildings, maxSuites)] }

update: playground was updated to jsreport 4.3.1 yesterday so this is working also there, your original playground https://playground.jsreport.net/w/lukuser/UsE_lRgu now works

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

So you import a module to a variable, which in time is set to undefined somewhere. I'm not sure if this can be even done from inside the library. I would recommend asking for help in an appsmith forum. Noone in our team has experience with it. However, someone from the community here could.

hi @lukuser this is not possible in pptx, mostly because the pptx format seems to not support nested tables, each table is an independent floating element.

but the output you want does not necessarily need nested table, in theory if dynamic cells generation was supported in pptx (like in docx) you could create each cell, however the dynamic cells are not supported in pptx at the moment.

i have opened an issue to keep track of this, make sure to subscribe there for updates when this gets implemented

thanks, we will check what is causing the production of the malformed document.

@lukuser pptxImage works with the table but not in a natural way, which means that the image is not part of the table, it is a floating element (just like everything in pptx).

basically the data that gets passed to pptxImage helper comes from the root and not from the loop context generated from the table.

see this issue for more details about the problem, that issue combined with the fact that you are trying to make it work with pptxTable with dynamic columns (which is not supported yet) make the render to throw error.

Hello @admin, Thank you for the suggestion. I tried your playground download example in both chrome and firefox. Both spin for a minute before stopping without downloading anything. In the end I used your suggestion and implemented my own download, by getting the report from blob to a File object. From there I uploaded to supabase storage.:

let blob = await report.toBlob(); let reportfile = await new File([blob], reportname + '.docx'); let reportURL = await FileManager.uploadFile(reportfile,"reports",reportname + '.docx');

Thanks again for all your help.
