I am embedding a pivot4j report using pivot4j component in pentaho.
Is it possible to have a export to excel OR PDF facility like it has while designing the report?
If so, how can I do that?
Got the solution from the developers. Posting as it is from the URL https://groups.google.com/d/msg/pivot4j-list/WQ91bXbOdbs/K_eW6VZqAwAJ
It's something doable but it will require a bit of custom modification
of the view template. When you embed a Pivot4J report, embed.xhtml is
used as the view template instead of view.xhtml. If you compare them
with each other, you can that the former is just a minimal version of
the latter.
So you can probably copy the necessary components related to the
export feature (look for 'mi-export-*') and paste into the embeded
template and modify it if necessary.

I'm a new NAV dev and currently learning how to generate reports. Everything works, but I always end up having to do the exact same steps over and over. What I am wanting to do, is create a custom template for the wizard that already has some things preconfigured, like the interactive sorting, the header being the caption params, etc.
Is something like this possible or will I have to do it one by one from now until the end of time?
Not Really. What you can do is create your report object templates, and export them as .fob/.txt, and then All you have to do is import them in when you need to.
What I also do is to copy existing report objects that are similar to the report I have to design, and work from that.
I need to make style changes to Oracle apex IR (apex version 4.2). For that purpose where can i find the template of it. ? is it saved inside table or procedure ?
Interactive reports are held in a region and the region can have a template, but has no effect on its content, such as an IR.
While you can define report templates for classic reports, this is not possible for interactive reports.
You cannot control the structure (html) it puts out.
You can however change the style of it by applying CSS to the appropriate elements. You don't have need to alter the source it puts out. Defining selectors and using your browser tools to inspect everything you can definitely influence the look and feel.
Word of warning though: heavily applying CSS will bring some trouble when upgrading to apex 5, as IRs have been changed a lot. This means you'll have to change selectors quite a bit while also doing more setup on the IR.
If you'd supply more info on the kind of change you'd want to make to the IR, answers could be more specific and concrete.
You can find Oracle Interactive reports template from
PAGE RENDERING SECTION
Right Click your INTERACTIVE REPORT
Click Edit Report Attributes
Then template is under Layout and Pagination Section
But i doubt you can edit the template in there.
If you are looking for adding a template to be used in your report then follow these steps
Go to the Main Page of your application
Then go to Shared Components
Then Search for User Interface Section
Under this section, Click Templates, this is where you can add template for any type of item(report, region, page, etc..)

You can create new template under apex:
Application Builder/Application #/Shared Components/Templates
I would like to be able to include a screenshot of a control inside my code, this way making control identification easier for new members on my team, is such a thing possible?
Maybe even the ability to just have the image on a network share with the path in a comment, and then have a plugin that when hovering over the link brings up the image?
EDIT (More detail):
I'm creating a test project, the application under test has over 1000 controls, some of them are similar in name and purpose, this can make it difficult at times for developers to reuse the API I am creating because the control name is simply not enough for quick identification of the control in use.
I use the word API very loosely too, none of this stuff will be consumed in web services, and it will always be white box with developers including a project reference and have direct access to the source code.
For every form in my application (The test one), I have a controls.cs file where all the controls for that form in the application under test are listed - This is where I want the hover to screenshot ability in the control definitions.
Another sure factor is that all developers will be using VS2013 (For now the base version), later this could be update 1 or 2.
As the initial author and senior developer on this project, these hover / image references (in the code) will be as useful to me personally as any 3rd party developers, or any later developers to join the initiative.
Thanks again, and I added a bounty!
I believe you can use Whole Tomato's free SourceLinks Visual Studio extension to do what you want - or at least get pretty close to it.
Built-in Functionality:
Out of the box, the extension allows you to specify comment patterns you want users to be able to take an action on. Once the patterns are specified, SourceLinks will highlight any occurrences of those patterns in the text editor. You will be able to double click the highlighted items and perform a pre-configured action (such as opening a link in an internal/external browser, or launching an executable).
You can see an example in the SourceLinks configuration dialog shown below:
(source: wholetomato.com)
So you could use this feature pretty painlessly to define a keyword such as Control Image and then put comments like the following in your code:
// Control Image: my_smart_list.jpg
SourceLinks would allow you double click this text, and you could have that configured to launch the image (using a file:// or http:// url depending on how and where your images are stored) either inside Visual Studio in it's internal browser, or in an external browser.
Custom Tooltips!
Now, if you want to put in some more effort into this and actually write some code, then SourceLinks allows you to create API Extensions to display custom tooltips when the user hovers over the marked text in the editor. The default installation of SourceLinks comes with sample API extensions that you can copy to create your own. See the article linked at the very top of the answer for more details on these samples.
This post in the SourceLinks forum informs us that SourceLinks expects the custom API Extension to return the tooltip value as FlowDocument XAML text. This is awesome news for us, because a FlowDocument can contain many types of elements, including formatted text, hyperlinks, and images.
Imanges in a Flow document can be specified both inline as well as externally.
Hope this helps!
I would use doxygen -- create the images somewhere in the source tree and use doxygen comments. You can embed the \image command in source comments (see docs) and doxygen will generate all the HTML documentation from there. I think doxygen is a great tool for documenting a codebase as you can generate the documentation directly from comments in the source and distribute or host the HTML separately.
Does anyone have experience with adding formatted code snippets to a blog post using Lemoon? I have been using Syntax Highlighter in other systems and like it fine, but I'm wondering first if there's a built in solution in Lemoon. I noticed that the system uses codemirror for HTML view for editing content and wondered if that might also be used for formatting code snippets. Thanks.
Lemoon has a built in code EDITOR that uses codemirror. Just decorate your field appropriately as described here. This applies only to the administrative section of Lemoon.
You could use this field type to write your markup and snippets, but I guess you are looking for a better way to insert code snippets in your blog posts.
It is possible to configure the standard Lemoon HTML editor (TinyMce 3.x) to use a plugin that enables you to insert code snippets. https://github.com/RichGuk/syntaxhl looks promising (haven’t tried it though). You will find the TinyMce config files in the app_data\settings folder.
Another alternative is to switch to the HTML source and manually add the pre or code elements as needed.
As for presenting the snippets on your site, you could use codemirror (configured as read-only) or perhaps you are better off sticking with SyntaxHighlighter. In any way, you have to include the appropriate JavaScript files and handle the initialization yourself.
I am building a code generation tool using vs 2010 visualisation & modelling sdk. One of the things that I need to generate is a simple data capture ui (windows forms, preferably using devexpress layout control), with capture fields & labels for each property in a class.
I can use t4 text templates to do this, but I am conscious that I will be re-inventing the wheel if I do this - a simpler approach would be to add controls to a form constructed at runtime and allow the appropriate codedomseriaizer to generate the form.designer.cs code for me - is this possible?
To summarise, I would like to build a form at runtime, and retrieve a string of the designer.cs file..
Graham
Could you not simply leave the runtime generation code in use, and design only the other parts of the form using the designer? This way the autogenerated controls will be automatically updated if new properties are added to the class.
