Powerplay Web - Export to PDF 1

[rm1234]

In Powerplay Web, How does one make the Export to PDF option invoke in a new window?

Thanks

You could edit the javascript in the ppwbtoolbar.js, but this would affect every export to pdf.

To give users the choice, I have added some code to the ppwbcustom.js file so that the pdf opens in a new window. Note that you need to add this between the braces of the relevant custom button number and remember to enable that button number for the cubes and reports concerned. {check the documentation for details on custom buttons in the toolbar if you're unsure}.

Note also that there is no pop-up for the orientation - it takes the default.

ar fh = topparent.getXtabFrame().document.fhidden;
	topparent.getXtabFrame()._fhchanged = true;
		topparent.getXtabFrame()._fhtarget = fh.target;
		topparent.getXtabFrame()._fhaction = fh.action;
		topparent.getXtabFrame()._fhRA = fh.RA.value;
	{
		FTok = false;
		fh.RA.value = 2;		
		var targetWindow = self.window.parent;
		targetWindow.name = "PPESTarget";
		fh.target = "_blank";

		fh.action += "?MIME=.PDF";
		fh.CO.value = "";
		fh.submit();
	}

Thanks for the piece of code.

I have added between the braces for custom button 2 but it doesnt seem to do anything. Get an 'error on the page' messsage on status bar.

I had another custom button 1 which also stopped working.

I removed the code and custom button 1 started to work.

Apologies - looks like I missed a byte with the cut and paste. That'll learn me to have a brewski at lunchtime!
Put the letter v in the front of the text, so that it begins

 var fh = [code]
