my own templates

2003-12-30 10:22

Hi,

 

Is the template mechanism in ireport documented anywhere ?

 

I would like to create my own templates, and perhaps in this way we could all contribute templates to ireport.

 

thanks

Ricardo

Implements your own templates is possible. You have to add it in templates directory.

If the template ends with a C, it will be used as columnar template, otherwise if it'll ends with T, it will be treated as Tabular template.

 

You can add a gif named as the template to see a small preview.

 

The fields position, colors etc. are used as template. Take a look to other templated to understand as works this concept. Check the

field expressions in template.

Whatever this is good for, this long after the question was asked ...

 

You can open any of the templates in your iReport install dir /templates with iReport itself.

Editing is done like creating any other report. Then save your edited template under a different name - and there you are.

 

Cheers,
