Hi,
in my report there is a table that takes,in ppt or pdf format, several pages; i would insert the number of pages in a simply format (<page> of <total>) but the value of pageNumber and pageTotal is always 1.
How can I fix this?
Thanks

What is your BIRT version? Any way you can recreate your issue using the sample database, so I can see what your setup is? Thanks.

I don't see anything having to do with pageNumbers in the attached report. Can you double check that you uploaded the correct one and let me know? Thanks!

If you put this in your text box, in the right column:

<value-of> pageNumber </value-of> / <value-of> totalPage </value-of>

Then, run it to the web viewer and export to pdf, it works correctly. When you deploy the viewer, this would simply be calling the report with the frameset mapping and format=pdf, in the URL, which uses the separate run and render tasks, which is necessary for this to work. If you use the API's to run your reports, you'd just use the separate tasks, rather than the runAndRender task. Hope this helps.

Hi Michael,
with frameset works, i use this url:
http://localhost:8082/birt4/frameset?__format=PDF&__report=.....

but i would use this url:
http://localhost:8082/birt4/run?__format=PDF&__report=.....

I tested my report with first kind of url, but the behavior of the layout is different, so for me it is very important to use the second type of url to not lose all the job done.
I did not understand if with the first type of url i get the same result and, if so, i have not understand how use it.
Thanks

How is the layout different? If you're wanting the page number within the report layout, like that, you'll have to use the frameset way?

If you're ok with doing the page n of m in your masterpage header, rather than the table header, you can use the auto-text from the palette. This works in the non frameset pdf output.

Hi Michael,
the layout is different becouse i design complex structure in which i the height so that the layout came into a A4, with the "run" is ok but with the "frameset" my layout is on 2 pages.
Maybe I have to find an alternative way, like take the values ​​from masterpage for display in my header table.
Thanks

And using the masterpage auto-text, which works, is not an option?

I can't use the header of the master page because the data <page of Page> must be present in the table header.

Without being able to use the masterpage and without using separate run and render tasks, you're probably not going to be able to achieve what you're wanting. You could compute the total pages to show correctly, if you know how many rows fit per page, but the current page number doesn't update, unless you're using separate run and render, it seems. I've tried several different ways to try to get something to work, with no luck. If I find something, I'll let you know.

Sorry Michael, but how could I use the <<separate run and render tasks>> ?

Sorry. By URL, that's using the frameset option. From java, there are separate tasks: Run, Render, and runAndRender.

Hi Michael,
i insert this element in one cell on my table header
<cell id="68">
   <auto-text name="totP" id="67">
      <property name="type">total-page</property>
   </auto-text>
</cell>

and, in another cell, i insert a text field with these scripts:
1) onrender
var pageN= reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable("pageN");
if (pageN==null){
	pageN=0;
}
pageN= (pageN*1)+1;
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("pageN",pageN.toString());
this.text=pageN;


2) onpagebreak
var pageN= reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable("pageN");
pageN= (pageN*1)+1;
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("pageN",pageN.toString());
this.text=pageN;

it's work, infact i see correctly the two values in each page.

But, as final step, i would concatenate this values, so i modify my script of onpagebreak in this way (the first 3 rows):
importPackage( Packages.org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api);
elementFactory = reportContext.getDesignHandle().getElementFactory()
var totp = reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement("totP");
[...]
var pageN= reportContext.getPersistentGlobalVariable("pageN");
pageN= (pageN*1)+1;
reportContext.setPersistentGlobalVariable("pageN",pageN.toString());
this.text=pageN;

how can i get a value of totp AutoTextHandle element?
Thanks in advance

Hi,

How to get Pagenumbers with total page count in BIRT Layout(Not in MasterPage). Example: Page 1 of 5, 2 of 5 etc.

I used the following snippet:
<viewtime-value-of>pageNumber</viewtime-value-of>of<viewtime-value-of>totalPage</viewtime-value-of>

But this is showing as follows:
1 of 1
2 of 2
3 of 3.
Plz suggest me how to proceed.

Thanks in Advance.
