HTML Report
« on: April 26, 2011, 06:19:21 AM »
Not having the Pdf tools I'm wondering if anyone knows how to create a report using the SV HTML report templates? If not possible, does anyone have an example of how  to execute a program on the server from a client button to let it create the html report so the client can open the HTML in the client?

Surely if you have access to the Report-To-HTML stuff, you have access to the Report-To-PDF stuff?

That aside - the HTML-Reports in Clarion look terrible, and would be icky to include in a web server app because of naming constraints etc. I'm not saying it couldn't be done, but it'd be ugly, both at the code level, and in the output.

You'd be better off making a file-loaded browse, and letting the user go from there.

cheers

If it is a basic report you can hand code pretty easily.

I generate HTML reports in COde.
I open them in FE Editor and let the clients edit them.
I use Capesoft FE to print HTML to Tracker PDF to get a PDF report.
I have this running in Windows but plan on doing the same for my NetTalk Web server app  - all the parts are there and should work.
FWIW,

Hi Ron,

How are you porting FE to a pure web solution or do you plan to ship your windows app as well?

Cheers,

Kev

Hi,
Net Talk has an HTML editor procedure.   That is all that I need. 
Write the HTML and open it in the editor for the end user to edit.
Will then take the HTML and use Tracker PDF creator to generate a PDF from the saved HTML.
