Nope.  Keep in mind parts are are only "layout helpers" for reports.
Similar to HTML tables.

Which you can do, but just not with parts.   Parts contain whole
reports.  Each report drives a whole resultset from top to bottom.

What are you trying to do exactly here?

[Al A. <aa...@ge...>]

Can I add a report part inside a <break> section?

I'd like to display data within the 'summary' section of a report.

Al,

There are two ways

1) Call multiple rlib_add_report

2)  Use parts

<pr>
  <pd>
    <Report>.....</Report>
  </pd>
</pr>
<pr>
  <pd>
    <Report>.....</Report>
  </pd>

RE: [Rlib-users] odd rlib_add_query_as() behaviour

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Then you probably want to use a follower

rlib_add_resultset_follower(rlib, LEADER, FOLLOWER);

The makes rlib move the follower query the same way as the leader

Only use this if there are going to be the same number of rows in the
LEADER and the FOLLOWER

Keep in mind by default per report RLIB is only going to navigate one
result set.

Are you looking to do side by side or concatenation of reports?

RE: [Rlib-users] odd rlib_add_query_as() behaviour

[Al A. <aa...@ge...>]

When adding a query="'something_else'" to the report's xml 
it is from that query that the report part iterates through a data set.

Is there a way to have a second query's data set be included in that report
part so that it, too iterates, through the report?  They both will contain
the same number of rows/records.

Hi,

The first query added to RLIB is the "Main Loop" Query.  That drives the
number of ROWS.

In the <Report>

tag you can have a query="'something_else'" to override this

Re: [Rlib-users] Help using functions....

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Roddy,

src/examples/php/fixed_part.[php/xml]

Provides a nice example of rlib_query_refresh, rlib_signal_connect

Possible Signals are:

"row_change"
"report_done"
"report_start"
"report_iteration"
"part_iteration"

There are two types of followers:

rlib_add_resultset_follower(rlib, LEADER, FOLLOWER)

is for tables that have the same number of rows.  An example of this
would be year to year reporting (where there are the same number of rows
in the year).  So you could have a report w/ this year and last year...
ect

rlib_add_resultset_follower_n_to_1 

rlib_add_resultset_follower_n_to_1(rlib, LEADER,
LEADER_FIELD_EXPRESSION, FOLLOWER, FOLLOWER_FIELD_EXPRESSION)

This is used to make relations in data

So say the LEADER table has a field category_uid
and the FOLLOWER table was a table of category_uid and cateogry_name

You would do:
lib_add_resultset_follower_n_to_1(rlib, "LEADER", "LEADER.category_uid",
"FOLLOWER", "FOLLOWER.category_uid")

The expressions can be normal RLIB Expressions so you can get creative
here.

rlib_add_datasource_mysql_from_group:

rlib_add_datasource_mysql_from_group(rlib, "DATA_SOURCE_NAME", "GROUP
NAME");

I didn't write the group stuff, but my understand is mysql allows you to
define a "group" where you put the user name/password/host/port,db_name,
ect in.

This way you don't need to put the username/password in the source

Hope this helps

I need some help with how to use this functions.....
and please an example of the use symbols like ">" or "<" because i

 rlib_add_datasource_mysql_from_group=20

this functions are not in the manual, i need to know how to make a

[Rlib-users] xml questions

Is there a way, on the XML side, to keep data and field literals from being

I have some data that sits in the <Break> section of my XML.  Some of the

those instances, I'd like the report to not include that data.  Anyway I can
do this?

I have no immediate plans to add sqlite support, feel free to however :)

Also I have not added Array table data source to python.  I don't have
any immediate plans on do that either.  Again, feel free to tack a crack

I'm python programmer and try to find a reporting tool for me. rlib looks very good.

1) Why in $ ./configure --disable-perl --with-pythonver=2.4 
I've got this:
checking for a Python interpreter with version >= 2.4... python
checking for python... /usr/bin/python
checking for python version... 2.4
checking for python platform... linux2
checking for python script directory... ${prefix}/lib/python2.4/site-packages
checking for python extension module directory... ${exec_prefix}/lib/python2.4/site-packages

{exec_prefix}={prefix}=/usr/local and for testing it's fine for me, but I have not python there...
Python installed in /usr

2) Are you planning to add a sqlite3 support? Very good local sql database. For local projects and 
for testing purpose it will be better choice. But for non-C programs may be Array Table Data Sources 
is better...

3) Why

Guilty!  RLIB was specifically designed with FoxPro In mind (I used
foxpro for years)

I didn't however write a conversion. I last left foxpro on 2.6 (DOS
BASED) 

RLIB can do a lot more things then FoxPro's report generator so
sometimes a 1:1 conversion isn't always the "best" solution

[Rlib-users] RLIB Foxpro??

[Jeremy P. <je...@po...>]

Hi there,

I am in the process of converting foxpro (and some old dbase/clipper) 
apps to PHP/MySql/PgSql and looking for a decent Open Source Report 
Designer/Reporter came across your library.

I guess from the reference to foxpro and the usage of foxpro style 
functions in the rlib library that somewhere along the line foxpro was 
used by the authors, so my question is, Is there a way to convert Foxpro 
Report (fr?) Files into the required XML files for use with RLIB.

I suppose I could write one myself but if anyone already has one why 
reinvent the wheel.

RLIB works by having data sources (MYSQL, POSTGRESQL, ODBC, Custom)

You Implement a "Class" that provides basic methods

Then you call

rlib_add_datasource(rlib_pointer_here, "Some Name", POINTER_TO_CLASS
HERE);

I attached the patch that Warren sent me.  You can see how he
implemented the XML Input class.

Maybe you can try to work w/ Warren to get the XML Input method included
in the RLIB Source tree.

[Rlib-users] Re: [Rlib-devel] hello

[Bob D. <bd...@si...>]

Hi,

Right now in RLIB There is no native support for a libxml input method,
HOWEVER on 12/4/2004 someone sent in a patch that added support for
libxml as a input.  They didn't however sign the dual copy right
agreement :(

If you know c writing a custom input method is not hard at all.  All you
are doing is implementing some basic functions (fist, next, previous,
last, ...)

RLIB should provide the speed you are looking for.  We just ran some
tests @ SICOM and we were able to make a 10,000 page reports in under 10
seconds.

Right now I don't have time to add a generic libxml input method into
the engine (Perhaps you do..?)  We're focused on graphing at the moment.

FYI, Since you are probably not making GPL'd invoice software you might
want to consider the cost of rlib (http://rlib.sicompos.com/license.php)
before you procede.  If you are making GPL'd invoice software disreguard
this ;)

RE: [Rlib-users] flow and fixed parts

[Al A. <aa...@ge...>]

Then is there any point to the layout attribute in a <part> tag?

Al:

There really is no difference between fixed and flow parts - this needs
to be removed. 

The modularity your are referring is independent of parts. However,
using different files to include things like headers and footers is 
a great way of creating a common code base/look and feel among reports.

[Rlib-users] flow and fixed parts

[Al A. <aa...@ge...>]

Am I right to assume that the major difference between flow and fixed parts
is that flow parts involve storing the reports modularly in different xml
files, while fixed parts mean you store everything in one monolithic xml
file?

[Rlib-users] RE: left-to-right presentation

[Al A. <aa...@ge...>]

In this specific case, just three columns' worth.  So, I don't expect it to
go beyond the width of a page.  But in another application where I may use
this orientation, I may have 4 columns, maybe 5.  It depends.

That's interesting that you can dynamically generate the XML file.  A light
bulb just turned on inside my head.  Thanks for that tip!

How many pages across would you go?

You can always make custom XML On the fly (not form a file)

And pass it in with  

rlib_add_report_from_buffer($rlib, $SOME_STRING)

You have to manage pages across your self (If the report is going to
come out in PDF)  But programatically counting is simple :)

Hymm.. I'm not quite sure what you are looking for.

Can you make a little example and send it in.
