Thanks David, that was the missing rule. Everything works.

Re: D2W app and Excel and PDF generation example (also msg for David Holt)
Hi guys,
SimpleBlog also has an example of this stuff including ERModernLook compatible
CSS for the ERDControllerButton. I think that ERDActionBar might be more
appropriate for this because it provides a button at the page level, but there
is certainly nothing stopping you from creating your action in your table's
rows.
Here is the answer to your specific question about the button appearing all
over the place:
50 : *true* => controllerButtonComponentName = "ERXEmptyComponent"
[com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]
60 : pageConfiguration = 'ListMyBlogEntry' => controllerButtonComponentName =
"ERDControllerButton" [com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment]

Re: D2W app and Excel and PDF generation example (also msg for David Holt)
Hi Johan,
(David, Q for you at then end)
I have the same issue: I want to generate export list into an excel file but I
didn't completely succeed because it took too much time to get it work
(question of priority).
But I'm not far. So if you are using ModernLook, I found informations: search
in the list a msg sent by Markus Ruggiero in march (or look for
ERDControllerButton)
What you have to do, is create a controller (see the java class in attachment,
small code that exports statistics, only not every list).
I created 2 rules like this one (for each entity and I give you a real code
because it's coherent with java class so it's less confusing) :
{
author = 100;
class = "com.webobjects.directtoweb.Rule";
lhs = {
class = "com.webobjects.eocontrol.EOAndQualifier";
qualifiers = (
{
class = "com.webobjects.eocontrol.EOKeyValueQualifier";
key = "entity.name";
selectorName = isEqualTo;
value = NODailyStatistic;
},
{
class = "com.webobjects.eocontrol.EOKeyValueQualifier";
key = task;
selectorName = isEqualTo;
value = list;
}
);
};
rhs = {
class = "er.directtoweb.ERDDelayedObjectCreationAssignment";
keyPath = pageController;
value = "fr.sophiacom.app.ListStatisticsController";
};
}-
A rule for the file content like this:
{
author = 100;
class = "com.webobjects.directtoweb.Rule";
lhs = {
class = "com.webobjects.eocontrol.EOKeyValueQualifier";
key = pageConfiguration;
selectorName = isEqualTo;
value = ListExcelNODailyStatistic;
};
rhs = {
class = "com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment";
keyPath = displayPropertyKeys;
value = (
"application.name",
day,
nbSingleNotification,
nbMassiveNotification,
nbNotification,
nbAppReleaseCreated,
nbAppReleaseRemoved
);
};
}
-
and one rule to make the controller button working:
{
author = 100;
class = "com.webobjects.directtoweb.Rule";
lhs = {
class = "com.webobjects.eocontrol.EOKeyValueQualifier";
key = propertyKey;
selectorName = isEqualTo;
value = controllerAction;
};
rhs = {
class = "com.webobjects.directtoweb.Assignment";
keyPath = componentName;
value = ERDControllerButton;
};
}
But after that, I didn't see any button in the UI :-(
I found the solution in the wiki, I guess: you have to modify the css (I
suppose you have your own css).
By default:
.ERDControllerButton {
display: none;
}
and put something like that (I'm not good at all at css)
/* Beginning ERDControllerButton */
.ERXJSFlyOver span {
left: 45px;
}
.ERXJSFlyOver li {
display: block;
}
.ERDControllerButton {
display: block !important;
}
.ERDControllerButtonLinkList {
display: inline;
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px; /* 0px */
}
.ERDControllerButtonLinkList li {
display: inline;
margin: 10px;
padding: 0px;
font-family: Arial, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 9px;
}
.ERDControllerButtonLinkList li a {
padding: 0px 5px;
}
/* uistyle = "flyOver" */
.ERDControllerButtonFlyOverList {
background-color: #414B5E;
color: #C2C6CF;
border: 1px solid #333;
width: 150px;
padding: 0px;
}
.ERDControllerButtonFlyOverList a {
color: #CCC;
}
.ERDControllerButtonFlyOverList a:hover {
color: #FFF;
text-decoration: underline;
}
/* End ERDControllerButton */
And I was able to see the button (a popup actually) and it WORKS. Very happy.
But the button/popup appears on "every" screen (query, edit, …). So I stop my
research at this time, because, again, it's not my top priority.
During the WOWODC, I discussed with David (Holt) after his session and he gave
me a solution but I wrote on a sheet of paper I lost it :-(
Can you give us the final step please?
Hope this helps you a little bit.

Re: D2W app and Excel and PDF generation example
You should be able to create a custom page wrapper and use a rule to set the "enabled" binding on ERPDFWrapper to turn any valid XHTML page into a PDF.

D2W app and Excel and PDF generation example
I want to add PDF and Excel generation to some pages in a D2W application. I saw some talk about adding Excel or PDF on the mailinglist, but most of it was way over my head, mostly because there seem to be 3 or more ways to achieve the same thing. I looked if I could find some example in the Wonder Examples and the wiki, but did not find it. Is there any concise example that someone can share?
