My reports are linked to a masterpage in a library file. I want the masterpage to display the report name, but the report name will be different for each report. How can the report communicate the report name to the library's masterpage?
Use resource files. Here's how:
Create and link a resource file to the report. See the BIRT documentation here. For example, if you have a report called Products_Report.rptdesign, and your application localization is US English, then your resource file should be called Products_Report_en_US.properties.
Create an entry in the resource file for the report name. For example, report_name=Products Report. You'll want the key to be the same for every report.
Access the resource from the library's masterpage. For example, you could add a Dynamic Text element with this expression: reportContext.getMessage("report_name", reportContext.getLocale());
Use global constants. Here's how:
In the BIRT report designer's Outline pane select the rptdesign element.
Click the Script tab.
Create a constant. For example: var REPORT_NAME = "Products Report";
Save
Access the constant from the library's masterpage. For example, you could add a Dynamic Text element with the expression: REPORT_NAME;
This is a bit easier than using resources file - but with the resources file you get the ability to display a different report name to users depending on their language.

I want to update html code of the page inside an apex app but cannot find it. Is there a way to see the HTML code of a page in apex app?
A page typically consists of regions. Regions can be various types (eg a report, a map, a data entry form etc). For many types of region, the majority of the content is generated by APEX itself, hence the term "low code".
But on most of them, you can add static html that appears at the start or end of the region, and there is a region type of "static content" where all of the content is defined by you at design time. Similarly, there is a region where all of the content comes from a PL/SQL procedure, where you are responsible for providing all the relevant HTML as output from that procedure.
Apex consists of html, css (to make it shiny) and javascript. The default css and javascript are stored in static files (check the page source for that) and the html is stored in the database.
The way the html is applied on a page region is by way of a template. Every component in apex (page, region, report, breadcrumb,button, ...) uses a template and that is just an additional property to check in the builder for that component.
To see all the templates in an app go to Shared Components > User Interface > Templates. To see which templates are referenced in a page check 'Page Shared Components' > Templates (in the left pane of the builder).
It is possible to change templates and even create your own - or you could copy one and modify it to your needs (which is easiest). However, to ensure smoother upgrades it is easier to stick with what is available out of the box.
I have a simple database with table tblUsers containing the following fields:
id-number
name-short text
surname-short text
picture-short text
In the picture field I store the relative path to the linked image file for every record (using a form and a file dialog box for selecting picture).
I'm currently trying to make a report with 9 id cards on a page layout in which for every record, using an image control, to show the picture for the record by recreating the full path to the file and assingning it to the control's Picture property.
So, as an example:
I have 9 records with the values of the field Picture equal to: john_doe1.jpeg to john_doe9, stored as text.
When I load the report, I want to be able to see the 9 id cards with their respective photo atached.
I tried using the on current event for the report with this code
Private Sub Report_current()
Me.txtPathImg = Me.GetDBPath & [tblUsers.picture]
Me.imgControl.Picture = Me.txtPathImg
End Sub
but all I got is one picture for all the records in the report.
How can I display the correct picture for every record in report view?
Use a bound image control, i.e. set it's control source, e.g.
=GetDBPath() & "\" & [picture]
Then you don't need any code.
GetDBPath() must be a public function for this.
Or build the full path in a query, use that query as recordsource, then you can directly bind the image control to the full path.
hellow S.Overflow
tbl1students:
ID_FullName - dataType : text
Image_Path - dataType : text such as (D:\Imagefolder\FullName.jpg) you know that? ok
............
now create report wizard from tlblstudents table and then open report ac design
ok :
Add Imageframe from toolsbox
then make controlsource :Image_path
..............
you don't need to VBA cods to do that
Using {Record URL(Dynamic)(Entity Name)} I have inserted it as part of system requirments into the "Description" of a TASK Activity.
But the URL does not render as a HTML hyperlink.
I have also tried using the <hyperlink> tag. But this does not work.
(Important Note : I heard notice this is achievable in an Email
Activity with the Record URL(Dynamic)(Entity Name) attribute. But I am
trying to achieve this in a Task Activity.)
Sample example of code in Workflow that creates this task is the Text given below:
..... project record, available here: {Record URL(Dynamic)(Entity Name)}.
We are using CRM 2013 for this cutomization and configuration.
Can you tell me what I am doing wrong and what I need to change to achieve this feature.?
Unlike email, the Description field of Tasks is plain text and doesn't support hyperlinks. Adding a formula to the task description will just display the formula text, not calculate it or generate a hyperlink.
If you need a link from a task to a specific record, add a custom lookup field to that entity. Another option would be to add an HTML Web Resource where you could show rich HTML with hyperlinks, but you'll need to create its content (with the link) on your own, no formula will generate the content for you.
Is my expectation valid? If yes, please guide me.
Local machine->local server process-> I generate Birt report-> which contain hyperlinks hard coded for example: http://www.ip_one.com/birtserver/parameters...(this is fine and points to another report and get me the report also when I hit the Url from inside the generated pdf report).
Now, what I need is to change ip_one to suppose ip_two once I hit the hyperlink which is inside the pdf(on the fly) keeping all the other parts of the url intact.
I am using birt-rcp-report-designer-4_2_2.
Thanks in advance.
It sounds like you are trying to dynamically create a hyperlink at report run time.
In the properties editor of the report item that has your link (i.e. label), edit the hyperlink. In the Hypelink Options (pop-up) to the left of "Location" field is the button ab| select 'JavaScript' Syntax.
You will be able to create the URL using JavaScript.
can you please give any sample code for accessing the rdlc elements from code behind file.
I have a text box in the rdlc file, i have to set the value for that from code behind file. Please help me
Thanks

You can just load the RDLC code as XML using XDocument or XmlDocument or whatever you want, and then query and update the file accordingly as you wish, and then save the RDLC. If you have a value you want to set programatically this way, you can define a hidden report parameter and use the DOM to update that parameter programatically in the same way.
