Multi-page header with different content on some pages - pdf-reactor

I currently have a working multipage report with repeating header / footer. I have implemented page count on footer successfully (eg: Page 1 of 20).
I need to change the header content on pages after the first page (adding "(Continued)" to title):
My Long list of Stuff
Item 1
Item 2
Page 1 of 20
My Long list of Stuff (continued)
Item 3
Item 4
Page 2 of 20
I can't seem to find any way to target only the pages after first. I have experimented with :nth-of-type. Using javascript after page loads to try and access counter.
let hiddenCounter = window.getComputedStyle(hiddenCounterEl, '::after').content;
I suspect getComputedStyle() not supported by PDF Reactor. Any thoughts on how to achieve this appreciated.
EDIT:
The repeating section described above is a part of a larger report so something like below wouldn't work because I wouldn't know the page to start from:
.showonsubqequent { display:none; }
#page :not(:first) {
.showonsubqequent { display:inline; }
}

You can use continuation markers to fulfill use-cases like this. We've introduced them with PDFreactor 11.
With the ::-ro-after-break pseudo-element, you can add generated content to elements after page breaks.
The respective style declarations could look like this:
ul::before {
content: "My Long list of Stuff";
}
ul::-ro-after-break {
content: "My Long list of Stuff (continued)";
}
Please refer to our manual for more information on continuation markers. https://www.pdfreactor.com/product/doc_html/index.html#ContinuationMarkers
While window.getComputedStyle() is supported by PDFreactor, the issue you were observing is a known issue (#8626) and has been fixed in PDFreactor 11.4.4. Prior to that version, only pseudo-element parameters without colons were supported.
Also, please note that nesting element selectors inside of page selectors is not supported by design. This is because applying styles to an element based on the page it is positioned on could change said position in the document.

Change CSS on AJAX request in Wicket

I have a component A that should dynamically change the font size of some of it's contents. I currently use CSS variables to do that and the component will contribute some CSS String containing these CSS variables:
public void renderHead(IHeaderResponse response) {
String fontCss = // dynamically fetch CSS cariables
response.render(CssHeaderItem.forCSS(fontCss, "font-css"));
}
On the same page I have the possibility to change these font sizes using an AJAX update within another component B. This will add the component A to the AjaxRequestTarget, which will cause the renderHead method to be executed with updated values for the font CSS variables.
However, I don't see an updated font size in my browser as the old CSS variables still seem to be present. How can I enforce the new CSS to overwrite the old one?
So far I found 2 solutions, that seem like dirty workarounds to me:
Add the whole page to the AjaxRequestTarget, so the whole page will be refreshed.
Add JavaScript to the AJAX update to remove the old styling with:
var allStyles = document.getElementsByTagName("style");
for (var style of allStyles) {
if (style.getAttribute("id").includes("font-css")) {
style.remove();
}
}
Is there a cleaner solution to this problem?
You found the problem with workaround 2.
response.render(CssHeaderItem.forCSS(fontCss, "font-css"));
adds <style id="font-css"> ... </style> to the page. Later when the Ajax response contributes the new content the JavaScript logic finds that there is an HTML element with id font-css and assumes that there is nothing to do.
A simple solution is to use dynamic id, e.g. by using UUID in #renderHead().
Another solution is to make this <style> a proper Wicket Component, a Label, that could be added to the AjaxRequestTarget with an updated Model when needed.

How to appendChild in the Wix Corvid/Code IDE

I've searched thru Corvid docs and Stack, not finding anything.
Is there a way to appendChild() in Wix Corvid(Code)?
EDIT: Wix does not allow DOM access directly. I assumed that people answering this would know i was looking for an alternative to appencChild and knew this method could not be used as is in Wix.
so to clarify: is there a way to add a child to a parent element using Wix's APIs?
It depends what you are trying to achieve,
the only thing off the top of my head is adding more items to a repeater
which you can do by first getting the initial data from the repeater, adding another item to array and reassign the data property of the repeater
const initialData = $w('#repeater').data
const newItem = {
_id: 'newItem1', // Must have an _id property
content: 'some content'
}
const newData = [...initialData, newItem]
$w('#repeater').data = newData
https://www.wix.com/corvid/reference/$w.Repeater.html#data
In Corvid, you cannot use any function which accesses the DOM.
Coming from one of the developers of Corvid:
Accessing document elements such as div, span, button, etc is off-limits. The way to access elements on the page is only through $w. One small exception is the $w.HtmlComponent (which is based on an iFrame). This element was designed to contain vanilla HTML and it works just fine. You just can't try to trick it by using parent, window, top, etc.
Javascript files can be added to your site's Public folder, but the same limitations apply - no access to the DOM.

Link directly to a notebook page in a view

I have an view that extends the current project view, where we add multiple tabs (notebook pages) to show information from other parts of a project.
One of these pages is an overview page that summarizes what is under the other tabs, and I'd like to link the headlines for each section directly to each displayed page. I've currently solved this by using the index of each tab and calling bootstrap's .tab('show') method on the link within the tab:
$(".overview-link").click(function (e) {
e.preventDefault();
var sel = '.nav-tabs a:eq(' + $(this).data('tab-index') + ')';
$(sel).tab('show');
});
This works since I've attached a data-tab-index="<int>" to each header link in my widget code, but it's brittle - if someone adds a tab later, the current indices will be broken. Earlier I relied on the anchor on each tab, but that broke as well (and would probably break if a new notebook page were inserted as well).
Triggering a web client redirect / form link directly works, but I want to show a specific page in the view:
this.do_action({
type: 'ir.actions.act_window',
res_model: 'my.model.name',
res_id: 'my.object.id',
view_mode: 'form',
view_type: 'form',
views: [[false, 'form']],
target: 'current'
});
Is there any way to link / redirect the web client directly to a specific notebook page tab through the do_action method or similar on FormWidget?
If I understood well you want to select the tab from the JavaScript (jQuery) FormWidget taking into account that the id could change if anybody install another module that adds another tab
Solution 0
You can add a class to the page in the xml form view. You can use the id of the element selected by this class name in order to call the right anchor and select the right tab item. This should happen when the page is completely loaded:
<page class="nb_page_to_select">
$('a[href=#' + $('.nb_page_to_select').attr('id') + ']').click()
NOTE: As you have said the following paragrah I assume that you know where to run this instruction. The solution I suggest is independent of the index.

Solution 1
When the page is loaded you can get the tab list DOM object like this:
var tablist = $('ul[role="tablist"]')
And then you can click on the specifict tab, selecing by the text inside the anchor. So you don't depend on the tab index:
tablist.find('a:contains("Other Information")').click()
I think if you have two tabs with the same text does not make any sense, so this should be sufficient.
Solution 2
Even if you want to be more specific you can add a class to the notebook to make sure you are in the correct notebook
<notebook class="nt_to_change">
Now you can use one of this expressions in order to select the tab list
var tablist = $('div.nt_to_change ul.nav-tabs[role="tablist"]')
// or
var tablist = $('div.nt_to_change ul[role="tablist"]')
Solution 3
If the contains selector doesn't convince you because it should be equal you can do this as well to compare and filter
tablist.find('a').filter(function() {
return $.trim($(this).text()) === "Other Information";
}).click();
Where "Other Information" is the string of the notebook page
I didn't tried the solution I'm giving to you, but if it doesn't work at least may be it makes you come up with some idea.
There's a parameter for XML elements named autofocus (for buttons and fields is default_focus and takes 1 or 0 as value). If you add autofocus="autofocus" to a page in XML, this page will be the displayed one when you open the view.
So, you can try to add this through JavaScript, when the user clicks on the respective link -which honestly, I don't know how to achieve that by now-. But you can add a distinctive context parameter to each link in XML, for example context="{'page_to_display': 'page x'}". When you click on the link, I hope these context keys will arrive to your JS method.
If not, you can also modify the fields_view_get method (here I wrote how to do that: Odoo - Hide button for specific user) to check if you get the context you've added to your links and add the autofocus parameter to the respective page.
As you said:
This works since I've attached a data-tab-index="" to each header
link in my widget code, but it's brittle - if someone adds a tab
later, the current indices will be broken.
I assume that your app allow multi-user interaction in realtime, so you have to integrate somewhere in your code, an update part function.
This function will trig if something has changed and cleanout the data to rebuilt the index in order to avoid that the current indices will be broken.

Setting default paragraph style without user interaction

I am trying to set the default style applied to the P elements that are automatically created when a user enters the blank editing area. I've spent many hours searching for an answer but have not found anything that works. The requirements are:
Style has to be inline, no stylesheet
No user interaction, no format/style plugin to click
When the user clicks in the editing area and starts typing, I want the style to be applied and visible automatically. Surely there is a way to accomplish this?
The closest I have gotten is by using the htmlFilter, like this :
p_rule = {
elements : {
p : function(element) {
if (element.attributes.style === undefined) {
element.attributes.style = "color: #0000ff;";
}
}
}
};
ev.editor.dataProcessor.htmlFilter.addRules(p_rule);
But the new style is not automatically visible.
It does become visible if the user goes into source editing mode and back to WYSIWYG but I want it to be automatic.
I tried using updateElement() in the filter function, but it does not work and creates infinite recursion:
p_rule = {
elements : {
p : function(element) {
if (element.attributes.style === undefined) {
element.attributes.style = "color: #0000ff;";
CKEDITOR.instances['editor1'].updateElement();
}
}
}
};
ev.editor.dataProcessor.htmlFilter.addRules(p_rule);
(I guess updateElement() triggers the filter)
If I use setData(getData()) from an event I can strangely get the textarea to update with the changes the filter applied, for example:
CKEDITOR.instances['editor1'].on('blur', function() {
CKEDITOR.instances['editor1'].setData(CKEDITOR.instances['editor1'].getData());
});
But that too requires user interaction. Using the "change" event creates recursion.
I am new at CKEditor and obviously I'm missing something on how the filter works in relation to what is currently being displayed in the textarea.
Any CKEditor guru out there? Help!
Thanks
I really advise not to go this way. You'll find yourself fighting with countless issues, like what if you copy&paste, what if you change format to h1 and then back, what if you create a list item and then convert that into a paragraph, etc. etc. There are really dozens of those. You'd need to rewrite half of the editor.
The way to handle this in CKEditor 4 is to rethink this:
Style has to be inline, no stylesheet
Inside CKEditor you clearly need to use a stylesheet. I presume though that you want the inline styles in the output. So what I would propose is to:
Write htmlFilter rule which adds this style to every paragraph.
Write dataFilter rule which removes this style from every paragraph.
The second rule is needed so if you save the data and then load it back to the editor, the styles do not pollute it.
PS. CKEditor 5 will separate data model from rendering (the view) so you'll be able to render paragraph as you wish without affecting how other features interact with it. Read more about CKEditor 5 in this article.

How to I add multiple distinct JSON objects into seperate lists in WinJS app?

I am trying to create a grid app with various sections and each section is being fetched to a specific listview however I have encountered a problem where you can only have one listview covering the entire page in order to properly horizontally scroll the objects inside the list which means there's no room for another one. This is the code I am using right now:
WinJS.xhr({ url: "http://search.twitter.com/search.json?q=%23windows8&rpp=100}).then(
function (response) {
var json = JSON.parse(response.responseText.toString());
var list = new WinJS.Binding.List(json.result);
gridView1.winControl.itemDataSource = list.dataSource;
//gridView1 is ID of listview
}
With the above code I can easily show grids of objects containing result array and then bind em to the list. However now I want multiple similar listviews for different URLs that are displayed like the one shown as default interface in WinJS grid app.
To be more clear, this is what I want - Twitter usernames in first section of grid by using Twitter API URL1 and then I want twitter search results in adjacent grid so I have to use another listview b using URL2.
How do I find a fix for this. Appreciate your help.
Yeah, coming up with what all of the disparate items from the different lists have in common and projecting your data up to a single grouped list is one option. You might not want to give up on what you were trying to do though. If you put multiple ListViews on a page wrapped in a flexbox, you shouldn't have any trouble with scrolling. If you look at my codeSHOW app at the ListView demo, you'll see that I have the rough equivalent. Windows is actually really smart about the way it handles the panning.
** EDIT **
Here's a rough example of what I'm talking about. Again, you can find a working example of this in the ListView demo of codeSHOW.
<!-- HTML snippet -->
<div class="hub">
<div>
<div id="list1" data-win-control="WinJS.UI.ListView"></div>
</div>
<div>
<div id="list2" data-win-control="WinJS.UI.ListView"></div>
</div>
<div>
<div id="list3" data-win-control="WinJS.UI.ListView"></div>
</div>
</div>
/* CSS snippet */
.hub {
display:-ms-flexbox; /* this will lay the lists out horizontally */
overflow-x:auto; /* set the flexbox to scroll its overflow */
}
/* select each of the sections */
.hub > div {
padding-right:80px; /* 80px of space between "sections" */
}
/* choose whatever sizes you want for your list views. You may want to make them wide
enough that they don't scroll because it can get a little awkward to have scrolling
within scrolling */
[data-win-control=WinJS.UI.ListView] {
width: 640px;
height: 480px;
}
You can solve this by aggregating the result set into a single data source.
You can either do this through splurging your data into a WinJS.Binding.List that's been set up with a grouping function, and attribute your data in such a way that you know how to group them. An example of the grouping of a WinJS.Binding.List can be found in the "Grid" Template that you find in Visual Studio when doing File/New/Project.
Or, you can build your own data VirtualizedDataSource - there is a great tutorial for this on MSDN here.
