I've revised my original question because I'm new and can't reply to my own just yet... but here is my issues re-written, with more coding:
I'm using this as part of NetSuite, which is an accounting/ordering/CRM tool our company uses. We are allowed to customize our own estimates by using their form creation tool, which takes a combination of freemarker, html and xml to create our estimates.
I've designed a nice looking estimate and within this estimate I can call variables from the database. Basically shipping/billing info, items on the estimate and today I was able to add PAGE NUMBERS (Page 1 of 5 or Page 3 of 5) and place them at the bottom utilizing a FOOTER. However I wanted to also do this so that if my estimates ran multiple pages, I could print a header at the top so you'd see "Quantity, description, price" as I explained.
Now... I'm not exactly sure what the macros are for, this was how I wrote my page numbers and put them on the footer, which i'll show the code for in a bit.
I wanted to do something similar so that I could say "If we're not looking at page 1, print THIS header, but IF we're looking at Page 1, DONT print a header" so I figured i could do that page = page + 1 so it kept increasing. This idea WORKS in other parts of my estimate (for example, every item listed is on a seperate line on the estimate, and i actually print a line number, using that method, but that runs within its own routine later in the system via the LIST function)....
so any help getting this to work for my HEADER would be appreciated. I was hoping I could just do something simple such as "page = PAGENUMBER" but i can't utilize the built-in pagenumber variable for some reason, it doesnt quite work that way... here is what I have, in a simplified manor:

So with all that said, any thoughts as to how I can utilize that "LN #, QTY, DESCRIPTION, UNIT PRICE, EXT. PRICE" as headers on pages 2 and on? (Page 1 has our letterhead at the top and some other html coding for our company)
As Yvan noted, this is not a freemaker question, but actually a bfo question. And as Shaun noted you can use the CSS id selector of #pagen to set header/footer for a given page. The problem with this is that all the existing documentation I've seen shows that if you use the #pagen CSS selector, then you have to define the CSS for every other page as well. So for example ...
/* If */
#page1 {
header: empty-header;
header-height: 0px;
}
/* Then */
#page2, #page3, #page4, ... #pagen {
header: default-header;
header-height: 10mm;
}
You basically have to guess what the maximum page size will be and add a CSS selector for each and every one of page. It might be safe enough to go up to 10 or something, because honestly whose going make an 11 page order, right?
Well if this doesn't sit right with you or you just don't like hard-coded limitations like this, then I believe I have an alternative. If one defines the default header on the <body> tag. Then define the #pagen CSS selector for just the page (or pages) you need (i.e. page 1 in your case,) but use the !important CSS property you'll get the desired results. For example this should do the trick...
<!--?xml version="1.0"?-->
<pdf>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
#page1 {
header: empty-header !important;
header-height: 0px !important;
}
</style>
<macrolist>
<macro id="empty-header">
<!-- Nothing to look at here -->
</macro>
<macro id="default-header">
<!-- Header HTML for all but first page -->
</macro>
</macrolist>
</head>
<body header="default-header" header-height="12mm">
<!-- Page body HTML -->
</body>
</pdf>
I don't know what macro and macrolist are (that's not FreeMarker), but I guess you simily shouldn't initialize count to 0 unless it's yet undefined. That is, instead of that two #assign-s you could write <#assign count = (count!0) + 1>. Of course it matters what the life-cycle of the FreeMarker Environment looks like, as the value of count will be lost if you start a new Environment (like call Template.process).
I'm using NetSuite too and ran into a somewhat similar problem. I don't think your problem is linked to Freemarker, but to Big Faceless Organization (BFO). Freemarker prepares the xml and BFO converts it into a PDF.
More information on BFO can be found here: http://bfo.com/products/report/. That's where you have the concept of header / footer / macros.
Read section "Pagination with tables - headers and footers" from page 35 of the User Guide which describes how to reprint a standard header or footer row in the table.
The table has to be top-level to work (i.e. not within another table.)
I don't yet know the answer to your question, but I can tell you that it may be found in the Big Faceless PDF Library user guide, not Freemarker...
http://bfo.com/products/report/docs/userguide.pdf
The answer relates to the application of special macros:
To display headers and footers on the page, the Report Generator introduces the concept of a “macro” - a block of XML which can be
repeated multiple times throughout the document.
There are three different types of macro attribute, which can be used either on the BODY or PBR elemnts to set a macro for every
page, or for a specific page by using a #pagen entry in a stylesheet.
header > to set the header of the page
footer > to set the footer of the page
background-macro > to set the background of the page
A macro is defined in the HEAD of the document inside a MACROLIST. Each macro must have an ID, which is how it’s referenced later in the document. Here’s an example which sets a standard footer on each page:
<pdf>
<head>
<macrolist>
<macro id="myfooter">
<p align="center">
Page <pagenumber/> of <totalpages/>
</p>
</macro>
</macrolist>
</head>
<body footer="myfooter" footer-height="20mm">
Document contents here
</body>
</pdf>
The “footer” attribute is the ID of the macro, and the “footer-height” attribute is the height required for the footer. If the document
contents require several pages, the footer will be placed on each one, unless there is a PBR element which changes the footer (or
removes it by setting footer="none"). The “header” attribute can be used the same way to set a header at the top of each page.
I know this answer is coming late for the question, but as I was trying to figure out the same thing I learned the answer from Russ's answer and the BFO documentation. Hopefully this will help anyone else out that is looking for the same information. Using the style attribute and the #pagen id you can set a header or footer to a specific page. nlfooter is the name of the footer macro. I am applying this footer to the first page only. Here is the code I used to apply a footer to the first page only.
<style type="text/css">
#page1 {
footer: nlfooter;
footer-height: 10%;
}
</style>
The comment from Russ with the quote from BFO's documentation helped me realize this. Here is the quote with emphasis added.
There are three different types of macro attribute, which can be used either on the BODY or PBR elemnts to set a macro for every page, or for a specific page by using a #pagen entry in a stylesheet.

May be I miss some styles or plugins?
Okey, sorry. It was reset.css, who re-styled sup and sub styles. Just removed them from css file and it works now.
I'm having a little difficulty finding a way to insert data programmatically into my ckeditor instance.
An example of what i'm trying to accomplish:
<html>
<body>
<div id="top-area"></div>
<div id="mid-area"></div>
<div id="bottom-area"></div>
</body>
</html>
On a button click I am trying to add data inside of the div with id mid-area. I would even be okay with replacing that div with the data I have.
When I use
.insertHtml(
'<div>This is a test insert for a random area</div>',
);
It just populates that div at the very top.
I have tried targeting the div with
document.getElementById('mid-area')
but even that doesnt return any value.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Since I am using the ckeditor4-angular package I am able to find the element and set the html by doing
#ViewChild('editor', { static: false }) component;
const element = this.component.instance.document.getById('mid-area');
element.setHtml('<div>This is a test insert for a random area</div>');
I will not mark this as the answer incase somebody else comes up with another solution that works better. Thanks!
I have a table layout like this:
<tbody>
<tr>
<td> 1 </td>
<td> <button> Click me </button>
</tr>
<tr>
<td> 2 </td>
<td> <button> Click me </button>
</tr>
....
</tbody>
I only know the value of the first td (1,2, etc). Is there anyway to click on the appropriate second td (the button) while only knowing the first td? For example, can I dynamically get 2 and know to click on the second "Click me" button instead of the first one?
yes there is way:
Basically, the buttons you want to click are siblings to the td elements you already know of.
Please try using locating an element via xpath sibling to locate those buttons:
//td[contains(text(),'1')]/following-sibling::* //this reads, first locate an element of td type whose text() attribute contains '1', then find its immediate sibling.
//td[contains(text(),'2')]/following-sibling::* //this reads, first locate an element of td type whose text() attribute contains '2', then find its immediate sibling.
You need an XPath:
twoClickMeButton = driver.find_element(:xpath,"//td[text()='2']/../td/button")
I'm working on my first TYPO3 project and I'm done with the template, I just can't figure out how to make this work:
My page content is one column with header, text and title in every field.
I don't have any problems showing header and text on my website, but the image just won't work.
My image-path is fileadmin/user_upload/ and I can show it by setting the filename in my code, but thats obviously not what I want.
This is my Content Object Array, the code for the image is one of the versions I found when searching, but none of them worked:
page.20 = CONTENT
page.20.table = tt_content
page.20.wrap = <div id="content">|</div>
page.20.renderObj = COA
page.20.renderObj.wrap = <div id="news">|</div>
page.20.renderObj {
10 = TEXT
10.stdWrap.field = header
10.stdWrap.wrap = <div id="newstitle"><span>|</span></div>
20 = IMAGE
20.stdWrap.field = image
20.stdWrap.wrap = <div id="newsimage><img src="fileadmin/user_upload/|"</img></div>
30 = TEXT
30.stdWrap.field = bodytext
30.stdWrap.wrap = <div id="newstext"><p>|</p></div>
}
Hope someone could help me out, so I can finally finish this project!
Maybe I don't understood correctly, but... you don't need to write it yourself, just in your main TS template include CSS Styled Content from extension, so you can render whole column like:
page.20 < styles.content.get
If you need to change some wrappings (i.e.: to add your news CSS classes) you can also override them in setup field.
edit: Go to Templates > Template analyzer and check the EXT:css_styled_content/static/ code to find declaration you'd like to change (prepare for looong reading ;)) when you finally find it, just you can overwrite it in your TS, ie: to wrap text section of Text w/ image CE you can use:
tt_content.textpic.20.text.wrap = <div class="myNewsClass"> | </div>
Finally I'd suggest not to replace original classes but add your own so the above sample would be like:
tt_content.textpic.20.text.wrap = <div class="csc-textpic-text myNewsClass"> | </div>
de facto all these classes csc- has some CSS default styling therefore you can choose to align the image to the left or right (etc) out of the box. If you'll remove it you'll need to handle these things yourself.
Environment:
Ruby 1.8.7
Selenium WebDriver 2
Ubuntu 12.04 Desktop
Firefox 13.0.1
Problem:
I have div tags being used as selects. You click on the div and a dropdown style window shows up with more div tags as the select options. Now I can go in and create a way of clicking on each of these options for each 'div as select' but what I'd really like is to write a piece of code that clicks on the divs I know about and then determines which divs are now displayed and enabled after the click. Then I can click on 1 of the options at random.
So my current code is something like this:
allDivs = brwsr.find_elements(:tag_name, 'div')
origDivs = allDivs
allDivs.each do |e|
if ... # Get the div I want
e.click
newDivs = brwsr.find_elements(:tag_name, 'div')
origDivs.each do |orig|
newDivs.delete(orig)
end
# Do something with remaining new divs here
end
end
The main problem I have is that this is extremely slow. I currently have around 200 divs to spin thru and this method takes a few minutes to complete. Normally, I wouldn't expect spinning thru a couple of hundred array elements to take very long. But it does.
To shorten the time I've attempted filtering the allDivs and newDivs by spinning thru them once and deleting anything that is not displayed and enabled.
So I'm currently stuck with a really slow solution. I don't mind this 'finding of new divs' being a little slower as it should also lead to much shorter script dev times. However, taking minutes to complete is way too long.
First question: Can Selenium return only elements which as displayed and enabled with some extra API string around the find_elements call?
Second question: Does someone have a better way of finding the new div elements without having to go thru the array of elements.
It would be very helpful if you could post some sample HTML of the DOM you are trying to automate.
With that said, the ruby webdriver bindings do support finding elements by chaining. Thus, given some html like this:
<div class="outer">
<div class="one">
<div class="alpha">A</div>
<div class="beta">B</div>
<div class="gamma">C</div>
</div>
<div class="two">
<div class="alpha">A</div>
<div class="beta">B</div>
<div class="gamma">C</div>
</div>
<div class="three">
<div class="alpha">A</div>
<div class="beta">B</div>
<div class="gamma">C</div>
</div>
</div>
You could write something like this to find the "B" div in the second group of divs ("two"):
group = brwsr.find_element(:class => "two")
desired_item = group.find_element(:class => "beta")
Or, even more simply through ruby's chaining capabilities:
desired_item = brwsr.find_element(:class => "two").find_element(:class => "beta")
One other way, which I prefer the most is to select an element via a CSS selector, which selects the element faster with an easy to read syntax:
desired_item = brwsr.find_element(:css => "div.two div.beta")
