Hi,

I want to display page number in a non-master page. For e.g. in one of the table column data.

Is it possible to use autotext outside master page?

Thanks.

You can do this with a text element like:
<viewtime-value-of>
pageNumber
</viewtime-value-of>

or in a label onRenderScript like:

this.text = pageNumber +" of " + totalPage;

Hi Jason,

It is always displaying 1 of 1 even though there are multiple pages for both label and text element,

Thanks,
Prashant

What version of Birt are you using and how are you running the report?

Under 2.6.1 runtime both methods doesn't work Sad

I got birt-runtime-2_6_1.zip from BIRT site at 27.09.2010

Any ideas ? Thanks.

Page variables currently require that you have separate run and render
task. If you are using the viewer are you using the /frameset mapping?

pageNumber, totalPage variables in pdf [message #675168 is a reply to message #633871]

Hi, Jason.

I'm using BIRT 2.6.2 without web viewer.
I try to generate pdf report programmatically with methods, described on
"New and Notable Features within BIRT 2.6" page.

But these methods doesn't work (in report Master Page):
<viewtime-value-of>pageNumber</viewtime-value-of> = 'pageNumber' on every page,
pageNumber = 1 and totalPage = 1 on every page.

However auto-text field "Page n of m" works correctly.

How can I separate run and render phase correctly to get report variables work?

Several bugs have been logged on the viewtime value of statement.
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced;short_desc=viewtime;short_desc_type=allwordssubstr;product=BIRT;classification=BIRT

I just tested with BIRT 3.7 and it appears that it has been fixed. BIRT
3.7 will be released in June.
