Thank you for the reply. We have implemented a standalone script as a workaround and have removed the cleanInterval and cleanThreshold extensions.

Here are the logs after restarting the VM we have JSR running on.

I generated 2 reports at 7:28 UTC.

They are both still in storage (7:37 UTC)

Thank you for the quick reply. We are using version 4.8.0. Template store is fs. There is nothing in the logs related to cleanup other than an acknowledgement of the settings. What does the last part of the statement refer to with 'undefined report(s) deletion per run'?

info: reports extension has enabled old reports cleanup with interval 900000ms, threshold 1800000ms and undefined report(s) deletion per run

Here is the entire config:

{
  "httpPort": 5488,
  "store": {
    "provider": "fs"
  },
  "blobStorage": {
    "provider": "fs"
  },
  "logger": {
    "console": {
      "transport": "console",
      "level": "debug"
    },
    "file": {
      "transport": "file",
      "level": "info",
      "filename": "logs/reporter.log"
    },
    "error": {
      "transport": "file",
      "level": "error",
      "filename": "logs/error.log"
    }
  },
  "trustUserCode": true,
  "reportTimeout": 12000000,
  "workers": {
    "numberOfWorkers": 8
  },
  "extensions": {
    "authentication": {
      "cookieSession": {
        "secret": "xxxxxxxxxx"
      },
      "admin": {
        "username": "xxxxxxxxxx",
        "password": "xxxxxxxxxxx"
      },
      "enabled": true
    },
    "sample-template": {
      "createSamples": true
    },
    "reports": {
      "cleanInterval": "15m",
      "cleanThreshold": "30m"
   }
  }
}

We have enabled cleanup to run every 15 minutes on reports older than 30 minutes. This works one or two times when initiated, then seems to work haphazardly. That is, checking the status of a report older than 30 minutes will return "report not found" but the document persists in storage. Is it possible we have conflicting settings in the config?

    "reports": {
      "cleanInterval": "15m",
      "cleanThreshold": "30m"
   }

Timestamps are UTC, but you can see many old ones here, including the one that is "not found" in the screenshot above.

Great, thank you! I look forward to any updates on that topic!

Thank you for the quick reply! We are building a sort of photo log with photos rendered via url coming from an outside source. Photos will be both portrait and landscape, have different resolutions/sizes etc. The easiest way to do all this is to pass an orientation variable (boolean) in the data and then include the appropriate child template that contains nothing more than the image placeholder (that way we can use docxImage in the child template and take advantage of usePlaceholderSize, etc.). For example:

{{#each photos}}{{#if landscape}}{{docxChild "landscape_template.docx"}}{{else}}{{docxChild "portrait_template.docx"}}{{/if}}{{/each}}

Hello! Can docxChild render child templates that contain images?

Is it possible to get the other attributes of the tags through an API call for a specific template? When I run something like this

localhost:5488/odata/templates?$select=tags,name,shortid&$filter=shortid eq 'myShortId'

I get a return like this

{
    "@odata.context": "localhost:5488/odata/$metadata#templates(tags,name,shortid)",
    "value": [
        {
            "tags": [
               {
                   "shortid": "-myTagId"
               }
    ],
    "name": "my_template",
    "shortid": "myShortId"
  }
 ]
}

What I really need is something like this

{
    "@odata.context": "localhost:5488/odata/$metadata#templates(tags,name,shortid)",
    "value": [
        {
            "tags": [
               {
                   "shortid": "-myTagId",
                   "name": "myTagName",
                   "description": "myTagDesc"
               }
    ],
    "name": "my_template",
    "shortid": "myShortId"
  }
 ]
}

Any update on this? We have the need to compile multiple templates into a single Word doc, either through docxChild or child templates utilizing html recipe. While the html child template works with a very simple straight text structure, any formatting or html tags that are applied results in an error pop up.

Ah, thank you! I did not realize it was under the Edit menu. I was looking at the Properties panel where permissions are assigned for individual entities. Cheers!

Hello, I have created a new user and given them edit permissions on a few templates that are in a nested directory structure. While they can create a new template, they are unable to save it. There are other templates within the outermost directory that they do not have permission for. For example:
MainDir
-- SubDir1
--T1: no permission
--T2: no permission
-- SubDir2
--T1: user permission
--T2: user permission

The user has edit permissions on SubDir2/T1 and T2. They can create a new template within SubDir2 but are not able to save it. They get an error message either that they are not authorized, or, upon save, a popup appears asking for the username and password over and over. There do not appear to be any permissions that can be set on the directories themselves, only the templates within. Will I, as admin, have to create and save blank templates for them or can they create them themselves?

I am using version 2.7.2

FYI I ditched the grid for a div with columns and it works just great. no JS required. Love simple solutions!

Thank you for the quick reply! Yes that does sound like a complex work around. I will see what I can come up with. I appreciate your response and ideas for a solution.

I have a div of a set of divs that I am using in a CSS grid repeat so that the column of text shows up as four columns across the page

    #container {       
        display: grid;
        grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
    }

I am having trouble eliminating a page break in the middle of a set of divs:

Any ideas how to avoid this break? The incoming data content and number of sets will be dynamic, and the comments (the last line) will be of varying length. I have tried page-break-inside: avoid everywhere I can think of to no avail.
