Re: [libreoffice-users] Multiple select field in Base forms

2012-01-13 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
I think it helps to use an external back-end rather than the default internal 
one.  

It sounds as though you need a few tiny tables that have a set relationship to 
the main table.  One of the sub-tables would have just 2 columns; one for 
Id/key/reference-number and one that lists the option you mentioned (vocal 
parts, church season, instruments).  Then in the main table one column would 
have a relationship of 1-to-many (err, i think that way around? or would it be 
1-to-1?) with the key of that sub-table.  On the other hand it might be easier 
to have a flat database (like a spreadsheet) rather than a relational one.  

There is some draft documentation appearing for Base
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/Publications#LibreOffice_Base_Guide
which might help.  

Just out of curiosity please could you let us know what other database programs 
you have tried?  Did you manage to build-up a table of data in any of them?  If 
so it might be good to get Base to use that table as it's back-end as that 
would solve 2 issues in one go.  

Regards from
Tom :)

suited as a multiple select option in the form, but I seem to be having

Thanks for the reply, Dan,

It's not that I want the report to be displayed in an html file, rather,
I'd like to be able to make an href call to open a dynamic report to
display in an .odt file.
A report is a preformated .odt file who is on opening filed with 
information from your Database, i suppose you need a solution to run 
the report from in a Webapp ?

please give us a bit more info on how things happen.
You can use the api and run a report with LoadFrom Url(.)
Maybe you can start from viewing the code who is in a LO-extension named 
reportrunner

Hope it helps

Any thoughts, now that I've clarified?

My whole project hinges on getting presentable dynamic reports to work.

  Base reports are either text documents or spreadsheets. But you
might be able to use Writer to create an HTML document with the
formating you want. Using the Data Source window (use the F4 key to open
it), you should be able to drag the fields from this window down to
where you want the fields to be in the HTML document. You may have to
modify the HTML in the document. I've not tried this, but it is a
possibility.

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem With ASCII Filter Options

2012-01-13 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
+1 
to most of that.  There is a wikipedia page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Office_2004_for_Mac
although the intro is a bit confusing.  It does point out that the default 
format is .doc rather than the newer .docX which is good but does mean you 
can't open them as zip files.  

Newer Microsoft Office can read/write .odt files but they can only cope with 
the older ODF formats, NOT the 1.2!  So it is better to save documents in the 
older 1.0 / 1.1 format NOT the 1.2 Extended!  Sadly that is not great for 
spreadsheets.  

It might be that pulling documents in as 1.2 is better and then saving as 1.1 
if you need to share with MS Office users.  If you can avoid MS Office users or 
convince them to install almost any other Office Suite alongside MS Office 
(such as LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Calligra, AbiWord, Lotus Symphony Suite or 
use Google-docs) then sticking with 1.2 is best.  It's only MS Office that 
can't cope.  An increasing number of people are using LibreOffice/OpenOffice so 
an increasing amount of documents are in the ODF 1.2 format so MS Office users 
are going to have to become better at reading them.  

Can you find out what format the files are in?  The file-ending helps.  It is  
very strange that it's trying to figure out Ascii filter options.  That makes 
it sound like a very non-standard format or perhaps a wonky .rtf  If you could 
tell us the format we might be able to help better.  There might be an add-on / 
Extension that does a better job of converting/filtering.  

At Microsoft.com there is this page
http://support.microsoft.com/ph/2531
although i tend to find their advice creates problems or doesn't work or 
abandons you halfway through an explanation or misses vital steps.  With other 
help sites if you are given a choice between 2003 and 2007 go with the advice 
for 2003 as that is what 2004 is based on and is most similar to.  

Regards from
Tom :)

 What can I do to solve this problem? Or, can I NOT do anything to solve it? 
 Would appreciate any advice or links you can give me.

I would expect Word2003 to be a very similar to Word2004. I believe W04 is the 
Mac version of W03 and uses the same file extensions. So I would try a solution 
suggested for W03 unless it specifically says the problem is a Windows (OS) 
problem not an Office problem.

If the file is an *.odt or *.msox you can use a zip utility to open it and find 
the xml file with the data in it. This trick does not work W03/W04 files.

Also, check the default ODF version in LO, it should be 1.2 extended 
(ToolsOptionsLoad/SaveGeneral). You may want to check Microsoft Office 
settings under Load/Save.

The graphics hardware is the same for both distros, since you're using

The fact that you experience the bug with desktop effects disabled makes
me think that it's LO that is triggering some advanced graphical

[libreoffice-users] Calc handles fonts wrong

2012-01-13 Thread Thomas Blasejewicz
Good evening
OS: Windows XP, LO 3.4.4
I have noted this quite a while ago.
Working on a sheet with 3 different languages (Japanese - English - German).
The setting for the ENTIRE sheet specifies one font for western
languages, a different font for Japanese.

Yet, when I copy text from some other application (mostly Japanese)
Calc renders the font differently - even though the little window
indicating the font says otherwise -
and I CANNOT change the font in that particular cell.
This even happens, when I first copy the relevant text into a text
editor and then from there into calc.

Is there a way to fix this, because it is really annoying.

Thank you.
Thomas

Basically, from what I understand of the above threads, if you want to 
bind the multiple values selected to a database field, then this is not 
possible with the current multiple selection control property.


A multiple selection is only available for a free standing form control 
list, i.e. one in which the data is presented or displayed in a Writer 
form or Calc sheet, but can not be bound to a database field, unless you 
store the values individually in a corresponding table (n-m 
relationship). Alternatively, it is also apparently possible to do this 
using a macro to write the data from the multiple selection into 
corresponding fields in a bound table.


As far as I know, Base does not currently support writing to ENUM or SET 
data types, and most likely the control properties do not provide for 
that within the current UNO API (although I haven't checked).

It is highly unlikely that this is a Libreoffice problem and most likely

 Basically, from what I understand of the above threads, if you want to 
 bind the multiple values selected to a database field, then this is not 
 possible with the current multiple selection control property.
 
 A multiple selection is only available for a free standing form control 
 list, i.e. one in which the data is presented or displayed in a Writer 
 form or Calc sheet, but can not be bound to a database field, unless you 
 store the values individually in a corresponding table (n-m 
 relationship). Alternatively, it is also apparently possible to do this 
 using a macro to write the data from the multiple selection into 
 corresponding fields in a bound table.
 
 As far as I know, Base does not currently support writing to ENUM or SET 
 data types, and most likely the control properties do not provide for 
 that within the current UNO API (although I haven't checked).
 
 
 Alex

 As another poster, I would like to know: What the form is suppose
to look like. What tables, queries of views will be used? What is meant
by multiple selections? Designing the parts of a DBMS requires knowing
the details.

[libreoffice-users] Re: PROBLEM WITH VBA MACRO IN CALC FROM EXCEL

2012-01-13 Thread Tom
Hi :)
I don't use macros at all so i don't know how to access the code.  Jay's
idea seemed smart.  In LibreOffice go up to the menus at the top and click
on  

Tools - Options - + Load/Save - VBA Properties

and then tick all the options in there and then re-load the invoice.  You
might also need to let LibreOffice know what the data-source is?  When i
tried to open the file it gave me a warning about my security settings
blocking macros and i think that might be a default setting.  Try 

Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Security - Macro Security - Security
Level

Mine was set to the 2nd highest so i set it lower.  This time it enabled
macros but gave me the error mesage
BASIC run-time error 13
Data type mis-match 
which i guess is because i don't have the data-source/contacts-sheet.  


I did find it interesting that LibreOffice allows macros to be written in a
choice of 4 languages; LibreOffice (Basic), Python, BeanShell (!?!) and
JavaScript (worth avoiding?).  The subject-line is a lot clearer now.  I
think the VBA Basic of MS Office is slightly different from the Basic used
by LibreOffice.  

Capital letters are usually used to shout or be abusive towards someone.  So
a lot of people might view this thread as being hostile.  I think you are
using capital letters to be clearer because you are not a
native-English-speaker.  Most people wont know about that so they might be
taking offence and hiding away.  

Regards from
Tom :)

Yes, that's true. At the moment I am testing whether the problem also
occurs when I disable hardware accelaration and font antialiasing in
LO. However as I don't know exactly what triggers the freeze, it takes
some time to verify.

Several users who reported this error had also an Intel GPU. But at
least one bug reporter used an Nvidia GPU.

A very rough draft scribbled in Writer (or even Draw or Gimp or something)
might be enough to give us a better idea of how you plan to lay the form
out.  Note that if you view the link in Nabble and reply to one of the posts

Beign an ubuntu user, I usually search for the chipset name in

Hi! I'm doing some bubble charts in calc, but they are very slow in all
libreoffice versions I've tried, and in openoffice 3.3. But, in openoffice

Hi :)
We all get the message when you send to the list.  Is it trying to save to a
special systems-folder rather than to your My Documents or desktop?  Can
you force it to save to your MyDocs?  The whole thing is sounding strange
because it really shouldn't be doing that.  

Perhaps try renaming your UserProfile?

 It is highly unlikely that this is a Libreoffice problem and most likely

 I know that I can create a formatted field. In the Data tab, the
Data Field Type is set to Field or Formula. I put author() (without
the quotes) in the Data Field. The formatted field now has =author(),
and running the report puts my first and last names in the header.
 But how do I insert formatted fields for the company, address, etc.
in to the header using the User Data? What goes into the Data Type Field
box?

 I have developed an application using libreoffice base.  I navigate to all

 the impossibility of externally accessing the dynamic reports, but I am
 hoping it is lack of knowledge that is turning up these research results.
 Can anyone enlighten me on this?

Pretty much - you can programmatically run a report using any of the
supported scripting languages, but it requires you to load the ODB file
(can be hidden) and then opening (running) the dynamic report, the
script can save that, or export it, or whatever you like, but yes you
are running a script from within the LibreOffice runtime.

Does that help any? I rather think not, at least if I understand what
you are doing here correctly.

best wishes,

 I resorted to using forms to produce a dynamic data grid. This could work,
 but only if its possible to make it more presentable, instead of looking
 like a table.
 
 My whole project hinges on getting presentable dynamic reports to work.
 
 Can someone point me in the right direction?
 
 Thank you!

Hi Alex,

The data controls will read/write to those filed types, when the
connected database engine supports them - what the built in controls
will not do is parse the results for the GUI. 

IIRC this post on one of the forums that includes a script that does
parse a set enum, with example showing how to connect the script to a
list control in multi-select mode.

http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=37079

Haven't looked at that in a long time - it sounds like what the person
needs.. I'll try the script and make sure it still works, but can't
really see why it wouldn't still.

[libreoffice-users] Problem pasting spreadsheet cells into Impress

2012-01-13 Thread Tanstaafl

Hi everyone,

Can anyone confirm this as a bug, or explain why it is such a problem?

I have been meaning to report this since forever, but I do it so rarely 
that I just haven't...


Whenever I try to copy some cells from a spreadsheet and paste the into 
an Impress Presentation Libreoffice (and Openoffice used to do the same 
thing) totally locks up goes into never-never land, and I have to kill it.


The only way to paste from a spreadsheet into a Presentation that I have 
found is to do Paste Special, then take the Default 'calc8' format, and 
that pastes perfectly.


What is up with this? Why doesn't it just 'Paste' as calc8 format??

Re: [libreoffice-users] Problem pasting spreadsheet cells into Impress

2012-01-13 Thread Tom Davies
Hi :)
Weird.  It was fine for me.  Ubuntu 10.04 (or 10.10) and LibreOffice 3.3.2 
(still, i guess i really should upgrade sometime).  I do have the memory 
options all set far higher than defaults.  Only 2Gb ram tho.

Tom :)

Hi everyone,

Can anyone confirm this as a bug, or explain why it is such a problem?

I have been meaning to report this since forever, but I do it so rarely that I 
just haven't...

Whenever I try to copy some cells from a spreadsheet and paste the into an 
Impress Presentation Libreoffice (and Openoffice used to do the same thing) 
totally locks up goes into never-never land, and I have to kill it.

The only way to paste from a spreadsheet into a Presentation that I have found 
is to do Paste Special, then take the Default 'calc8' format, and that pastes 
perfectly.

What is up with this? Why doesn't it just 'Paste' as calc8 format??

[libreoffice-users] Impress: Import text from file dynamically

2012-01-13 Thread bullettoothtobi
Hi there,

how can I import text from a textfile dynamically in my presentation?
The goal is that the running presentation loads the content from the
textfile everytime the sheet is presentated.

Thanks in advance!

Cor, thanks for your response. I did attempt to isolate the problem as
you describe, but I do not get consistent results.


Incidentally I came across that bug yesterday (or the day before, do not 
remember).

I guess this is the bug
  https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41054
not crashing for most, just not able to save.
It's on some of the older files.

See if the fix can be pushed to 3.4.6 too ...

Done. Added to the wiki ;)

I'm a little concerned that I can't find a similar page for 3.4.5 and it is
already available at download sites (even if it isn't announced or updated
on the LO web site).

[libreoffice-users] page numbers and table of contents

2012-01-13 Thread Jeffrey Martin
Hi,
I downloaded what is supposed to be an APA 6 template for open office with
a table of contents.
First, how do I get the page numbers to make the first page, which is the
title page, page 1, number each table of contents page, and then continue
with numbering the body pages?
There is no official APA format for a table of contents, but that doesn't
stop instructors from asking for it.

[libreoffice-users] Re: Multiple select field in Base forms

2012-01-13 Thread Marni
http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/file/n3658280/Music_Library.odt
Music_Library.odt 

I spend my days working in a Cache database that has a user front end, and
it has been years since I have built something like this in from the bottom
up, so you are reminding me of all the things I have forgotten  never knew! 
Let's see if I can answer everyone's questions

My friend took over as choir director and I have been helping her go through
the music library.  There are files and files of music - from small anthems
to full mass settings, Requiems and books of anthems.  They currently have
old card files like the old school library days - one set filed by title,
one by composer, and a third by church season.  The church has been through
some changes and  the files are a not all kept up.  We wanted to move the
directory into a database so that we could easily search for pieces
appropriate for the season, perhaps include certain instruments, etc. If I
attached the document correctly, you should see a rough draft of the type of
information we want to track.  I initially built it with several fields for
Season and Instruments, but I would rather have one field and have the data
entry person enter all that apply.  That way I could also query the one
place for the instrument or season I want when searching for music.

In looking for a program to do this, I wanted to look for something
inexpensive (the church doesn't have a lot of money), and/or easily exported
out if the church moved to something else.  (I am doing all this myself on
my mac for now.)  And I wanted to create a form that would be easy for the
volunteers to enter data, as many of the ladies are not computer savvy.  I
tried to cheat and modify a couple different CD/DVD library tools, but
they didn't allow the flexibility for sheet music.  I tried one database I
don't recall that was a no-go in the first 5 minutes (too clumsy), and
iDatabase.  

I think I covered all the questions, but feel free to call me on it if I
didn't.  

Thank you for all the suggestions so far, I am still working through all the
information.  You're really inspired me!
Marni

 Hi :)
 I don't use macros at all so i don't know how to access the code.  Jay's
 idea seemed smart.  In LibreOffice go up to the menus at the top and click
 on  
 
 Tools - Options - + Load/Save - VBA Properties
 
 and then tick all the options in there and then re-load the invoice.  You
 might also need to let LibreOffice know what the data-source is?  When i
 tried to open the file it gave me a warning about my security settings
 blocking macros and i think that might be a default setting.  Try 
 
 Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Security - Macro Security - Security
 Level
 
 Mine was set to the 2nd highest so i set it lower.  This time it enabled
 macros but gave me the error mesage
 BASIC run-time error 13
 Data type mis-match 
 which i guess is because i don't have the data-source/contacts-sheet.  
 
 
 I did find it interesting that LibreOffice allows macros to be written in a
 choice of 4 languages; LibreOffice (Basic), Python, BeanShell (!?!) and
 JavaScript (worth avoiding?).  The subject-line is a lot clearer now.  I
 think the VBA Basic of MS Office is slightly different from the Basic used
 by LibreOffice.  
 
 Capital letters are usually used to shout or be abusive towards someone.  So
 a lot of people might view this thread as being hostile.  I think you are
 using capital letters to be clearer because you are not a
 native-English-speaker.  Most people wont know about that so they might be
 taking offence and hiding away.
