<floosh> Hi is anyone here to answer a newbie ?
<floosh> I have a few questions regarding reports...
<floosh> Is it possible to call a report from a form?
<floosh> If yes, is it possible to pass paraters?
<floosh> s/paraters/parameters
<floosh> How do I do that ?
marcello (~marcello@adsl-16-73.38-151.net24.it) joined #gnuenterprise.
<SachaS> floosh, i dont know, as I never wrote a form
<floosh> I created a very form with about 4 pages
<floosh> but I'd like to generate invoices from the form itself
<floosh> sorry brb in 30 min
<dimas> floosh: will look about parameters in mine
Action: SachaS gets an DB000: xmlrpclib.Fault: <Fault 1: 'exceptions.RuntimeError:maximum recursion depth exceeded'> error by trying the GNUe_ClassRepository.gfd sample in gnue-appserver
<dimas> <?xml version="1.0"?>                                                           
<dimas> <report>                                                                        
<dimas>   <parameters>                                                                  
<dimas>      <parameter name="num" description="WO number"                              
<dimas>                 default=""/>                                                    
<dimas>   </parameters>                                                                 
<dimas> gnue-report report.grd num=125
<dimas> floosh: something like this
<SachaS> gnue-appserver installation works for me now
<SachaS> dimas do you use python2.3 for reports?
<dimas> Python 2.2.2 is here
<SachaS> I use python2.3 but dont have the pysablot debs (dont know how to build them but dont tell anybody)
<floosh> cool thanks!
<floosh> Can I create an event (a button) that calls the form and pass a parameter ?
<floosh> (from the from I meant)
<dimas> floosh: i did that simply via os.system call, with passing parameters
<floosh> makes sense
<floosh> I'll try that
<floosh> Another question: I am trying to display line items record that depend on an intermediary table due to a M to M relationship. What I did was to create a block/datasource of the intermediary table that display 5 records. I then linked it with the line item table wich becomes the child of the intermediaru table. Unfortunately only the first line item is displayed while 5 records of the intermediary table are displayed...
<floosh> Actually I have lots of questions :) I'll ask a few of them. Answer the ones you want ...
<floosh> I find that when I run forms, not all blocks get updated when a entry is added/updated or removed. I am assuming is due to cached data because when I do a search, my screens are refreshed. How do I force an update of the datablocks after a database operation ?
<floosh> I found that in designer, when I move a field for instance from a block to another, it doesn't work. Apparently it corrupts the XML file and I have to fix it manually. Is this a known bug?
Nick change: SachaS -> SahcaAway
Nick change: SahcaAway -> SachaAway
<floosh> Is it considered good design procedure to make extensive use of triggers in the database? It reduces portability of the application but it seems a safer approach then doing it via gnue events...
<dimas> floosh: number them :)
<dimas> with first one i had that problem previously. it may be misproper use of mater-details features or limitations in gnue
<dimas> it deserve to put a simple example to reproduce that
<dimas> floosh: wait until someone object this
<floosh> ok
<floosh> I'll try to prepare a test case. It may be useful

<derek> floosh: yes you can call reports from forms w/ a button and hand it parameters
<derek> probably the best way to do what you want is to use navigator
<derek> it calls forms and reports via a navigation engine
<Vee2d2> how would you feed the parameter in such a scenerio?
<derek> floosh: on your forced refresh there is a property in the block or datasource i dont recall that dicates how/when to refresh
<derek> it was added for "lookups"
Action: derek thinks thats what you want if i understand your question
<derek> floosh: on the moving block, no working... please file a specific bug to designer-support@gnuenterprise.org
<derek> floosh: we discourage to a degree database triggers in GNU Enterprise apps because of the reduced portability, but for custom applications it's completely up to the person doing the work :)

<kampagnol> anyone with some time to help a newbie?
<dimas> kampagnol: start asking
<kampagnol> installed gnue-common ok
<kampagnol> installed gnue-appserver ok
<kampagnol> but
<kampagnol> seems gnue-designer won't look as gnue-appserver
<kampagnol> terminal reports:
<kampagnol> unable to connect to appserver
<kampagnol> ---
<kampagnol> using usernames hacker/secret and test/test makes no difference
<kampagnol> ---
<kampagnol> connecting direct to mysql works ok...
<kampagnol> ---
<kampagnol> also gnue-designer GUI shows up with titles in chinese - though I imagine that to be unrelated ...
<kampagnol> ---
<dimas> probably you need reinhard to answer this
<kampagnol> ideas?
<kampagnol> what times is he normally around?

<kampagnol> anyone ever had a problem with chinese chars on gnue-designer?
<chillywilly> hmmmm
<chillywilly> maybe seisel would know ;)
<chillywilly> I don't speak chinese and neither do a lot of other developers except I think seisel's wife is Chinese
<chillywilly> and he speaks it afaik
<chillywilly> so maybe he has tried it?
<chillywilly> he's not here atm though :(
siesel_ (~chatzilla@port2002.duesseldorf.ndh.net) joined #gnuenterprise.
<siesel_> hi
<chillywilly> heya
<siesel_> I got a strange feeling, that someone (chillywilly) spoke about me ;)
<chillywilly> someone was asking if anyone has used designer with chinese characters
<chillywilly> have you? and did it work?
<chillywilly> 14:08 < kampagnol> anyone ever had a problem with chinese chars on gnue-designer?
<siesel_> yes, it doesn't work
<chillywilly> :(
<chillywilly> I should mow the lawn
<siesel_> that's because of gnue-designer is using wx -> gtk 1.0
<chillywilly> gtk1?
<chillywilly> hmmmph
<chillywilly> blah is it possible to use wx w/ gtk2?
<siesel_> yes, but this is highly unstable
<chillywilly> bah
<chillywilly> gtk2 has been out forever
<chillywilly> what's taking them so long?
<chillywilly> ;)
<siesel_> so why not direct use gtk2 :)    -ui gtk2
<chillywilly> does it work
<chillywilly> ?
<chillywilly> and more importantly does it work with chinese characters?
<siesel_> yes, very well. I just use gtk2
<chillywilly> ok
<siesel_> yes, chinese japanese etc. 
<siesel_> I should post a screenshot
<chillywilly> ah, but designer is strict wx isn't it?
<siesel_> yes, so I always have to uncomment 'textencoding=utf-8' before starting up designer
<chillywilly> :(
<siesel_> probably I should try to persuade jcater that gtk2 is much more hip than wx windows
<chillywilly> so this doesn't help the problem
<chillywilly> heheh
<siesel_> I just wonder about the first problem he reported. 
<siesel_> <kampagnol> unable to connect to appserver
<siesel_> It should work IMHO.
<reinhard> kampagnol: you here
<reinhard> ?
<reinhard> siesel_: the problem is that gnue-designer _shows_ chinese chard
<reinhard> although he wants english
<reinhard> chinese chars
<chillywilly> oh :-o
<siesel_> hmmm, that's strang
<chillywilly> what's his locale set to?
<siesel_> looks like his designer is more advanced than mine ;)
<reinhard> lol
<siesel_> I wanna CHANGE
<chillywilly> heh
<siesel_> reinhard: about the webfrontend stuff:  Can you take a look at the directory extensions/webfrontend  try it out  and if you think, its 75% ok, just include it  in the tarball?
<siesel_> I don't have time to improve/fix/include it  any more this weekend.
<siesel_> my thinkpad is broken and it took me 24 hours for a dselect dist-upgrade on an old laptop. So time is running away.

<chillywilly> ;P
<siesel_> btw. did you enjoy  twin peaks?
<siesel_> cw: you say it. You push it  once, and it won't start up any more.
<siesel_> and ibm has no 24/7 support for R class laptops :(
<siesel_> ok, cu all l8r

<reinhard> siesel_: i understand java about as much as chinese
<reinhard> eh
<reinhard> missed him
<reinhard> he is so fast
<reinhard> i think i'll include it in the release and write some README that this is work in progress
<reinhard> I don't even know how to try it out
<reinhard> but I trust very much in siese
<reinhard> and he hasn't touched any existing file
<reinhard> so he 100% sure didn't break anything existing
<reinhard> bbl - will read logs
