/ɪːzɪˈpɪːzɪ/ Reportgenerator for FIVEWIN and mod harbour

[Otto]

Hello Mark,
With my patcher, I can simplify the code.
I know that Harbour can patch the code that is spread over several lines.
But I don't remember the syntax.
Text start / text end or something like that.
Best regards,
Otto

[elvira]

Thank you very much.

But will it work for complex designs, such an Invoice?

[Otto]

Hello elvira,

I would say yes.
But please post a design template, and I try and test it.

Best regards,
Otto

Otto,

Can you post the .prg file , the html file so that we can copy them insite the sample folder and hit the build button in order to get a working program.
Than we can see and play with the idea.

[Otto]

Hello Mark,
I think I'll create a few more examples for the time being and test / i zi pi zi / in real use.

Maybe you have some templates that you would like to have solved.

Best regards,
Otto

[elvira]

Thank you.

This is a sample!!!

Hello elvira,
A missing printer or problems with the printer queue are reasons why customers call our support.
Working on / i zi pi zi / report engine, I think a check if the default printer is ready is essential.

I started with the attached code.
I included a huge screen with a warning if no default printer or the selected printer is not ready.



I also started to take notes for the HTML report.
https://winhotel.space/izipizi/docu.html
I think page break is key.
Tomorrow I do a test for an invoice report.

BTW the docu is made with my mod harbour project "portobello editor".

Best regards,
Otto

Good morning, elvira,

Thank you for bringing the invoice form into play.
I did a quick test. I took a template from office.com. (https://templates.office.com/en-us/invoice-tm16392525)

It's very similar to your bill. Instead of products, I inserted dummy lines and made a page break.

Before printing, I choose the printer model.

Everything works very well and is easy-peasy.

Best regards,
Otto

Hello friends,

I remembered that WORD 97 produced very clean, lean HTML source code.
I searched the internet for "WORD 97 download" and found a download - Microsoft Word 97 (OEM) (ISO) .
WORD 97 is a simple WYSIWYG editor for the report generator.
Best regards,
Otto

Placeholders
Word template


create placeholders



placeholders


paste placeholders


save as HTML

extract placeholders from HTML

[Otto]

Replace placeholder with data:






sourcecode to replace "placeholders"

Now changing design with WORD

[Silvio.Falconi]

Otto,
I not Use Microsoft Office applications, and with me all my clients and friends
we use alternative products, for free
you sell your program to your client but then you tell him that he has to buy office to create reports?
what a beautiful prospect

what would this thing be?
a form for not being autonomous?
Fivewin needs a powerful report designer
if you are drawing with Word then it means that you no longer use ER, but as for you it was more ultra now you do not use it anymore?
you have to be consistent with yourself, you always said you use ER and it works fine for you now you can't use it with mod_harbour?

please move this topic to Mod Harbour forum

[Otto]

Hello Silvio,

/i zi pi zi/ is for FIVEWIN. And yes, you are right, I do no longer use ER.
To create HTML reports is much easier and faster.

You do not need WORD. You can use any editor to create HTML.
BTW, what WORD processor do you use?

Glad you take part in the discussion.
Best regards,
Otto

Have you discovered HTML now?
try HTML5 maybe you will find you can do a report designer
