[Force a group header to reprint on a new column?]

Hi,

Is there a way to force a group header to reprint when a new column starts?  I noticed that there is a feature request for it (http://jasperforge.org/projects/jasperreports/tracker/view.php?id=2821)  Does anyone know of any trick to do it in the meantime?

Thanks

[iReports Caching old Jasper files?]

Hi,

 

I'm running into a "Unknown column error" when running a report from the iReports interface. (by clicking the "Execute" button). It works just fine when I run it from our web site.

 

The report has a sub report which calls another sub report. Yesterday, I did remove the field its complaining about on the last sub report. However, I removed all references to it and compiled so it shouldn't matter.

 

I set "isUsingCache" to false on both sub reports. I even tried deleting the jasper file for the bad sub report, but it still came up with "Unknown column error" as if the file was still there.

 

Anyone have any idea what's going on and how to fix this? It still works when I run it from our web site but not being able to run it in iReports is making it difficult to finish my modifications and test it.

 

Thanks,

Chris

[Print Something Else If Subreport is Empty?]

Thank you very much. That worked! It will definitely be a trick I use again in the future.

[Print Something Else If Subreport is Empty?]

Hi,

 

Is there any way to test if a subreport is empty? (it has no data to display). I am trying to display some alternate text if there is nothing in the subreport.

 

I have a static text field with the alternate text and have been trying to come up with a "Print when expression" to hide the text if the subreport is empty. However, I don't know what that expression would be.

 

Thanks,

Chris

[Force summary to start on new page?]

Hello

 

I figured out how to do this. Set isSummaryNewPage=true in the jrxml file. The option to set this in the iReports interface is either missing or I couldn't find it.

[Force summary to start on new page?]

Is it possible to force the summary band to start on a new page?

 

Thanks

[Degree Symbol]

Hi,

 

I got it to work. I guess our database doesn't support the degree symbol. That would explain why it wouldn't recognized the degree symbol when the report got it from the database but did recognize it when I entered it directly into a textfield. I got it to work using styled text. I just made sure that that the record contained:

 

Code:

<style isBold='FALSE' pdfFontName='Helvetica'>&#176;</style>

[Degree Symbol]

Hi,

 

Is it possible to display the degree symbol in a pdf created from iReports?

 

The following expression works in a textfield:

 

Code:

new String("u00B0")

 

However, if I put a

Code:

[code]"u00B0"

directly into a record and set the expression to $F{degreefield} it simply prints

Code:

[code]"u00B0"

 

Is there any way I can have the degree symbol directly in a record and have it print properly?

 

Thanks

[Conditionally change font in textfield?]

Hi SoS,

 

I got it to work. The StyledText option was not enabled. B)

 

Thank you very much!

[Conditionally change font in textfield?]

Hi SoS,

 

Thanks for your reply. It would be more convienient to use only one textfield so I tried your idea.

 

Here is my code in the textfield expression:

 

Code:

(SL2.isReminderAlarm($F{reminddaysn}, $F{receivedon}, $F{remindon}).booleanValue()) ? 
"<style  isBold='TRUE' pdfFontName='Helvetica-Bold'>" + $F{typedtq} + "</style>"
: $F{typedtq}

 

When "isReminderAlarm" returned false it just printed "typedtq" as expected. However, when it returned true it actually printed the text "<style..." instead of changing the font.

 

Perhaps the version we are using is too old? It is iReports 1.2.3

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

[Conditionally change font in textfield?]

Thanks bhaugland.

 

That got the job done.

[Conditionally change font in textfield?]

Hi,

 

Is it possible to conditionally change the font in a textfield? For example, I want to bold a textfield when a flag is true and have the same textfield not bolded when the flag is false.

 

Thanks
