[cfaussie] asReports V0.2 alpha released

2007-06-04 Thread Andrew Scott
For those of you who do not know, I have re designed some code I wrote a few
years ago.

This application is asReports, which allows you to run a Crystal Report from
within Coldfusion. This has been tested on CFMX 7.02  Coldfusion 8, but as
now been released to the general public as V0.2 alpha.

The wiki on http://asReports.riaforge.org is work in progress, but have
placed an example on how to use it.

Some of the features, server side printing, the ability to change the
Datasource, Database and username on the fly, without having to open the
report and reconnect to another database. Save the report as PDF, Xcel or
even as a Word document.

The major update to this version is that I have added a Factory so that it
can be used against many different versions, which as time goes on will be
included for out of the box support.

This has been tested on Crsytal Reports V10.

[cfaussie] asReports V0.2 alpha released

2007-06-04 Thread Scott Thornton

We have loads of problems with the ActiveX viewer most staff are not local 
admins and cannot install the viewer when it runs for the first time.

I just prefer it as I can navigate through the groups on the report much easier 
as compared to when displayed in .pdf

Scott,

Yes it handles sub reports, and no it doesn't use ActiveX viewer. I found
that cumbersum, and my boss at the time (Hi Dale) had designed a more
elligant approach.

The main idea is that you can use cfcontent to deliver the report to the
browser one it is created.

However I might look into adding the ActiveX viewer down the track.

The paramters are just a list, and they need to be the same number that is
required. Which means if one needs to be null you need to do a ListtFix (UDF
on cflib.org).

 Can it also open the report in the Crystal ActiveX viewer?

 Does it handle reports with multiple subreports?

 I had a (brief) look at it late last night. I will need to check how to
 pass the report parameters (for stored procedures) and pass it selection
 criteria.

 We are a huge Crystal 9 site, and I can see the benefit in this
