Add Additional Text when repeated group header present in Birt Report - reporting

Using BIRT 3.2.22
In my reports I need to conditionally display some text if the same Group Header is repeated. The repeating Group Header should show some text like 'Continued...'
I followed article mentioned below that doesn't help me to resolve the issue.
https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/157862/
Can anyone help me on how to do this?

In addition to the old forum entry you mentioned in your question, it is probably necessary to use separate RunTask and RenderTask to make this work.
I never tried something like this myself.

Kibana: infinite extent for field infinity-infinity

I decided to use the suggestion on this link that suggest to create panel of vega with altair. Everything works fine except for the warning. I've tried to remove warnings on setting advance but I dindn't mange to solve. In order to save the chart I use the routines on this link. Every help will be appreciate. The problem as suggest in previous topics open is on data, (because the warning is refer to #timestamp and another date field.
I would like to hide the warning in order to work without it, maybe is it possible inserting a script on the routines on 2 links in order to add the script in this link
chart_json['config']['kibana']={'hideWarnings': true}

I'm trying to use Data Validation in Google Sheets to only accept a hex color – any help appreciated

I think the title says it all. I have a shared google sheet which I'd like to limit several columns to make sure the information is correctly added as a hexcode.
I've been searching and I just can't seem to find anything, but this code I found for EXCEL may be a starting point:
=AND(LEN(A2)<13,ISERROR(HEX2DEC(A2))=FALSE)
It does not seem to work for Sheets...
try:
=ISNUMBER(HEX2DEC(REGEXEXTRACT(A1, "#(.*)")))*(LEN(A1)<8)

SSRS error on preview : "The size necessary to buffer the XML content exceeded the buffer quota" hides original error

I understand that there is definitely something wrong with my report (e.g. columns missmatcch) and I need to correct it but what I see is the WCF error message that hides actual problem and exactly this hiding irritates me much more than original problem: columns missmatch.
I guess we need to adjust the WCF 'buffer size' and we will get original problem message. But where is the config file?
Text search of "system.serviceModel" in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 doesn't bring good idea...
P.S. Since this is just preview of report I do not think that it is SSRS configuration problem. Problem localised somewhere in DevStudio process or int the DevStudio's internal web server process ...
P.P.S Please help me too improve the question. I see that responders doesn't understand what kind of help I need.
I have encountered multiple "flavors" of this bug in SSRS Preview. It seems the renderer for Preview mode is quite fragile.
There is a simple way to solve this. Ignore the error and attempt to upload the RDL file to your reporting server. The uploader will happily tell you exactly what is wrong with your file - it will tell you exactly what field has a problem and what that problem is. If there are multiple errors, you will get told each and every field and the error associated with each one.
I can create this bogus XML buffer error with any of the following:
Add a new Tablix, start to connect it to a dataset, then cancel out.
Copy/paste some text into a textbox from a MS Word document where one or more lines have a negative right indent (right column end is outside page margin).
Connect a dataset with a varchar(8000) returned value.
Please Check if any of your report items are referencing fields that are not in existing dataset scope.
This indeed worked for me.

I have seen this error when adding a new field to an existing dataset by clicking "Refresh Fields".
The dataset source was a stored procedure. The result was only a few of original fields showed up in the dataset field list and not the new field. If I tried to preview the report I get XML buffer error.
Workaround was to not refresh fields but hit add new field and type the new field name into the dataset properties field last.
Worked fine after that.
I got this error again today.
I had created a table to hold data to replace two slow queries. I changed some names to clean up the process.
I think the error actually means that there are so many problems with my report that the buffer holding the various error messages isn't large enough which leads to the error message.
The size necessary to buffer the XML content exceeded the buffer quota
Of course this should be an easy fix but Microsoft has said that they will not fix it.

EDIT: I've updated my answer based on having fixed the issue.
I'm currently experiencing this problem after having changed multiple stored procedures and updating the dataset names in the SSRS report.
And when I try to run the preview I get the exact same error.
As it turns out, after investigating the issue, the problem was that I had changed the name property of my datasets.
There several places in my report where formulas or expressions use the old name properties of the datasets I renamed. After reverting the dataset names back, I managed to get the real errors like missing fields etc. atcual errors came back after I set my dataset name properties back to what they were.
I only changed the name property back to what it was, the stored procedure names were correctly referring to my renamed stored procedures.
I had this problem when after copying and pasting a tablix, it changed CDbl in a formula to Microsoft.ReportingServices.RdlObjectModel.ExpressionParser.VBFunctions.CDbl. I opened up the XML and removed all instances of "Microsoft.ReportingServices.RdlObjectModel.ExpressionParser.VBFunctions." and the report then worked.
For a working report, when I tried to add a column it gave me this error. I edited the .rdl file using notepad++. After SSRS prompt to reload the change from disk, it worked without issues.
I got this error after copying my Custom Code to Visual Studio for hightlighting the code for better readability. Well, Visual Studio added class definitions to the beginning and end of the file. After editing code, I pasted it back to report Custom Code, then got this error. Fix was just to remove class definitions (Public Class Class1 and End Class) from Custom Code. So, check your Custom Code also (if any).
I got this error after adding some new parameters to an existing report.
For some reason when I created the parameters first then modified the Dataset to use the new parameters I got the error, but when I modified the Dataset first then added the parameters second and I did not get the error.
This seemed like very strange behavior to me so I tested it by restoring the report from repository and repeating the process three times with each method, and had identical behavior every time.
I am also facing this problem. I solve this Find and replace
Microsoft.VisualBasic.Interaction.iif ==> iif
Microsoft.ReportingServices.RdlObjectModel.ExpressionParser.VBFunctions.cdbl
==> cdbl
I hope this may helps someone. Thanks
Possible root causes
Parameter name is incorrect(case/order)
Accessing non-existing property.
and many more...
Solution: To get the exact error message are
Deploy SSRS report and find the error : Suggested by "Kim Crosser" already
Remove the section(SSRS/Report content) temporarily you feel is error free to free space in buffer so that you can get actual error message. Later add sections back to the page(removed earlier).
I had the same error message and it was totally caused by my doing. It's a bit embarrassing, but if it helps someone out then great! I had accidentally copied my dataset query that included a small sub select statement within it, which I was using to check parameter/variable values.
Another solution is to open the .rdl file in Report Builder 3.0 (as opposed to Visual Studio) and try to preview it. I found this gave me the details of the error, although if more than one error is present it only shows the first.
I previously binded a TextBox to
Fields!FieldName
and fixed it with
Fields!FieldName.Value
With that said, and with the other answers posted as well, this error happens in different flavors. My issue was fixed after I had the field property "Value" included.

How do I have my plugin fire before another in docpad so I can preprocess the content?

I would like to create a plugin which preprocesses content like markdown before it is passed to marked.
I don't want to create yet another extension to tack on the filename but would rather just search for a pattern in the content and if found do a substitution before marked has a chance to render.
I tried using the render event but my plugin seems to fire after marked even though its name sorts below it. What order do the plugins get used in?
I also tried using a renderBefore event but I can't figure out how to manipulate the content from there.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Jeff
Adding a plugin.priority will affect the order in which plugins are called with greater priorities being executed first.
The default plugin priority is 500.

adding tracking parameter is treating url as differnt

I am using Disqus for comments management.But the problem is its treating below link as different
http://gpuzzles.com/mind-teasers/logical-age-riddle/
http://gpuzzles.com/mind-teasers/logical-age-riddle/?source=tracking1
as a result comments in one post is not reflecting in other post.
Please suggest a solution
By default Disqus will identify a unique thread by its unique URL in the window. This is a very easy way to integrate, but isn't too reliable as you're seeing.
To prevent this you would want to pass a 'disqus_identifier' and/or a 'disqus_url' javascript variable. You can read about these here: http://help.disqus.com/customer/portal/articles/472098
That'll override looking at the window location for a unique identifier.
