PageNumber in Scripts for ActiveReports 7 - scripting

I'm not very used to Active Reports and I got an old software using those. The software provide some kind of stripped version of Active Reports Designer 7.
I got a PageFooter section with some fields and I want to remove one to display it only when it's the last page.
Basically, what I want to do is this in scripts :
if (this.PageNumber == this.PageCount) {
Field.Visible = true;
}
I only find one post here that say this.PageNumber should work, but it dosent.
So I tried to use the ReportInfo using the FormatString as {PageNumber}, but I don't seems to be able to read the value using this.ReportInfo.Value or this.ReportInfo.Text
I also tried to make a TextBox, using SummaryType : PageCount. But I'm still unable to read the Value.
So the question is :
How can I know the Page Number and Page Count in the script section?
Or how can I read the value of those textbox I created ?
Thanks a lot!

Where do I enter moment.js code so a DataTables column appears in my chosen format?

I want to make data like 2022/12/15 (imported from Google Sheets at the moment of page load) display as "Dec 15" in one column, and as "Thu" in another column.
I found the format codes:
moment().format("MMM d"); // "Dec 15" and
moment().format("ddd"); // "Thu".
I read https://momentjs.com/docs/ and https://momentjs.com/guides/, but could not find:
Where do I enter that code?
Can I skip entering that code, and instead just enter this?:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#example').DataTable({
columnDefs: [
{
targets: 4,
render: DataTable.render.datetime('MMM d'),
},
],
});
});
Perhaps I should separate my questions into different posted questions, but I imagine it will be more helpful for future readers to find the combined challenges asked and answered in a single thread.
I'm using the WordPress plugin "Inline Google Spreadsheet Viewer", which is built on DataTables.
[Edit: I realized I should not paste that code into inline_gdocs_viewer.php, and intended to paste it into igsv-datatables.js. I could not however figure out where to paste within that file. What should I look for to know where to insert it? (The author of that plugin publicly announced that no more support will be given.) Should I post the contents of the js file somewhere so you can see it?]
[Edit 2: Would entering that code make column 5 always displayed in MMM d format, even if I want column 5 to be displayed in a different format? Shouldn't specifying what format to apply to which column happen when I create a page / post and use the shortcode to embed the spreadsheet?]
(I read the plugin's documentation and I read DataTables documentation.)
If my table doesn't have a name, what do I use instead of #example? Do I need to name my table? If so, how? (I tried to find the answer at, for example, https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_tables.asp.)
The source for the longer code came from a live example where the dates were in column 5, but the code says "targets:4". To apply the code to column 3 (for example), should I enter targets:2? I read https://datatables.net/reference/option/columns.render, but bizarrely that didn't address this basic question.
If you're wondering if I upgraded DataTables from the old version that comes with Inline Google Spreadsheet Viewer, yes I did.
If you're wondering if I got the script array to call moment.js, I might have. Into the scripts array I added
,
'moment' => array(
'src' => plugins_url('moment.min.js', __FIL__),
'deps' => array( 'moment' )
)
I'm not sure about the "deps" part. Does it mean dependencies? Was I right to use "moment" twice in that code?
If you only know a possible answer to one of these questions, that's better than nothing, so please do share what you can.
I know the Moment team recommends you choose a different library than Moment for new projects, but DataTables to this day recommends Moment for sorting by Day of the week or sorting by Date.
Thanks
Using moment.js 2.29.2 and DataTables 1.13.1.
What I tried, and what I expected:
I read the documentation for all the programs, and I read forum discussions for all the programs, and I studied examples, expecting to find where to enter the code, but nowhere could I find what to do with it. It was always assumed that that part was already known.

Using datepicker in DotNetNuke-7 module

I'm a DNN beginner. I am currently building a module in which I can display statistics. My DotNetNuke Version is 7.0. The statistic is from Chartjs. For this statistic I would like to implement filters. These filters should be datepickers. As UI element I have now included a textbox with TextMode='Date'. But currently I have problems to set the default value of this field. The default value should be 01.01. of the current year.
I have already tried to set the value via C# server side. Unfortunately without success. I also tried to set the value on the client side via JavaScript. Unfortunately also without success.
These are some lines I tried in JavaScript:
document.getElementById(<%= this.DatumVon.AccessKey %>).value = "01.01.2019";
document.getElementById(<%= this.DatumVon.AccessKey %>).innerText = "01.01.2019";
document.getElementById("DatumVon").value = "01.01.2019";
These are some lines I tried in C# in the method "Page_Load" (server side):
this.DatumVon.Text = "01.01.2019";
I expected the value of the TextBox to be 01.01.2019. However, it currently only contains dd.mmm.yyyy. How can I change this?
Thank you.
There is something wrong with your localization. Please refer to the jQuery UI datepicker documentation (the "Localization" section), this should give you the answer.
wow... I solved it. I made it. Sometimes the solution is right in front of you and you don't see it. Michael Tobisch was absolutely right. When setting the value, the format is very important. I have always used the German format. A DNN TextBox with TextMode="Date" can't handle that. DNN converts this TextBox into an HTML input field. But this input field can only be clear with the format "yyyy-mm-dd". Depending on the geographical position of the client (at least that's what I think) the text displayed in the input field will be formatted. But the value of the input field always has the same format ("yyyy-mm-dd"). So very important here: the displayed text and the actual value have different formats.
Many thanks again to Michael Tobisch for the mental inspiration and the patience with me.
What is also important is that the access to the actual ID of a DNN element works as follows: this.Element.ClientID and not as I assumed before this.Element.AccessKey. This was also buggy.

Rally print stories with parent feature name in the card generated

I've used Joel Krooswyk's Print All Backlog Story Cards solution for printing all stories in a backlog.
What I'd like to do is to extend this to have each card print the name of the parent feature that the card belongs to so I can print them all up and lay them on a table for a collaborative estimation session.
The issue is, I'm having trouble finding how to do it.
A snippet of his code in question:
queryArray[0] = {
key: CARD_TYPE,
type: 'hierarchicalrequirement',
query: '((Iteration.Name = "") AND (Release.Name = ""))',
fetch: 'Name,Iteration,Owner,FormattedID,PlanEstimate,ObjectID,Description,UserName',
order: 'Rank'
};
I can't seem to find the element to fetch!
Parent was listed on an example queries page(intended for use in the browser query functionality), with Parent.Name containing the actual text but so that hasn't worked - trying to find a reference that is clear about it seems to be eluding me.
I've looked at the type definition located at:
https://rally1.rallydev.com/slm/webservice/v2.0/typedefinition/?fetch=ObjectID&pagesize=100&pretty=true
Going to the hierarchical requirement's type definition from that page indicates it has a Parent field in one form or another.
I'm not even sure that that one will solve what I'm looking at.
A bit stuck, and I'm not sure what I'm trying to do is even possible with the hierarchical requirement object type.
Note: I assume even if I do find it I'll need to add some code to deal parentless stories- not worried about that though, that's easy enough to deal with once I find the actual value.
Many thanks to anyone who can help :)
I modified Joel's app to include PI/Feature's FormattedID to the cards when a story has a parent PI/Feature.
You may see the code in this github repo.
Parent field of a user story references another user story.
If you want to read a parent portfolio item of a user story, which is a Feature object, use Feature attribute or PortfolioItem attribute. Both will work:
if (data[i].PortfolioItem) {
//feature = data[i].PortfolioItem.FormattedID; //also works
//feature = data[i].Feature.Name; //also works
feature = data[i].Feature.FormattedID;
} else {
feature = "";
}
as long as the version of API is set in the code to 1.37 or above (up to 1.43).
PrintStoryCards app is AppSDK1 app.
1.33 is the latest version of AppSDK1.x
1.29, which the app is using is not aware of PortfoilioItems.
PortfolioItem was introduced in Rally in WS API version 1.37.
See API versioning section in the WS API documentation .
If you want to access Portfolio Items, or other features introduced in later versions of WS API up to 1.43 this syntax will allow it.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/apps/1.33/sdk.js?apiVersion=1.43"></script>
This has to be used with caution. One thing that definitely will break is around calculations of timebox start and end dates. That's why many legacy Rally App Catalog apps are still at 1.29.
This is due to changes in API Version 1.30.
Note that this method of setting a more advanced version of WS API for AppSDK1 does not work with v2.0 of WS API.
You should be able to add PortfolioItem to your fetch. Parent is the field used if the parent is a story. PortfolioItem is the field used if the parent is a Feature (or whatever your lowest level PI is).
Then in the results you can just get it like this:
var featureName = (story.PortfolioItem && story.PortfolioItem.Name) || 'None';

GetResource, dynamic parent.

my problem is the following. I'm currently making a blog-page with get-page, get-resources, form-it, and wayfinder. This question requires a decent amount of knowledge about Modx and snippits. I've got the page numberin and all working and i've got a template page with all my calls in it (called weblogTemplate). This template has the following wayfinder call in it :
[[!getResources? &parents=`5` &limit=`5` &tpl=`blogPost`]]
[[!getPage?
&elementClass=`modSnippet`
&element=`getResources`
&parents=`4`
&depth=`2`
&limit=`5`
&pageNavOuterTpl=`[[+first]][[+prev]][[+pages]][[+next]][[+last]]`
&pageVarKey=`page`
&pageFirstTpl=`<li class="controlFirst"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]">Eerste pagina</a></li>`
&pageLastTpl=`<li class="controlLast"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]">Laatste pagina</a></li>`
&pagePrevTpl=`<li class="controlPrev"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]"><<</a></li>`
&pageNextTpl=`<li class="controlNext"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]">>></a></li>`
&includeTVs=`1`
&includeContent=`1`
&tpl=`blogListPost`
]]
as you can see the parent is set here to id number 5. This is fine for the homepage but any child page connected in the blog page also uses the same template and so would also have the same menu as the parent. You could use a fix to simply create 1 template for a page and keep using a different getResource call but keep in mind that it is a blog im making, new pages keep getting added. The user can't (, and wouldn't even understand to) make a template and edit any code. A solution i thought of would be to make the parent id dynamic, so it adjust to whatever page it is currently on. So for example if it was on the page with id number 12 it would make the parent call set to 12 and so show all the content under id number 12. If anyone has any ideas / thoughts / solutions i would be very grateful to hear them.
(a link about wayfinder that i used.)
The best solution would be to use two templates - one for main and one for the blog pages and use in blog templates:
&parents=`[[*id]]`
The problem with the user solveds by setting default_template in the system settings.
This worked for me:
[[!getPage?
&elementClass=`modSnippet`
&element=`getResources`
&parents=`[[*id]]`
&depth=`0`
&limit=`10`
&pageNavOuterTpl=`[[+first]][[+prev]][[+pages]][[+next]][[+last]]`
&pageVarKey=`page`
&pageFirstTpl=`<li class="controlFirst"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]">Eerste pagina</a></li>`
&pageLastTpl=`<li class="controlLast"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]">Laatste pagina</a></li>`
&pagePrevTpl=`<li class="controlPrev"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]"><<</a></li>`
&pageNextTpl=`<li class="controlNext"><a[[+classes]][[+title]] href="[[+href]]">>></a></li>`
&includeTVs=`1`
&includeContent=`1`
&tpl=`blogListPost`
]]

TextControl Images/Watermarks

In version 18 of TextControl (http://www.textcontrol.com) there is supposed to be the ability to add background images/watermarks to the document, however I find that the behavior of the various overloads, etc is not working correctly and that the documentation is rather scarce on examples. Does any one have a working example of adding watermarks to a Word document through the ServerTextControl object?
This functionality didn't exist in previous versions, so I recognize it's still rather new, I just find it weird that doing something like
tx.Images.Add(draftImage, pageNumber, location, ImageInsertionMode.BelowTheText);
doesn't actually add the images to the document, but if I use another overload beforehand, it adds both?
I just need a loop along the lines of
foreach (TXTextControl.Page page in pages){
page.Select();
var location = tx.InputPosition.Location;
var pageNumber = page.Number;
tx.Images.Add(draftImage, pageNumber, location, ImageInsertionMode.BelowTheText);
}
where location is supposed to be the beginning of the page.
Any help would be appreciated, this should be simple!
Thank you
Finally got a response to this on their forum, it's not a complete solution, but it works for the most part. Figured I would follow up here, so that anyone who ends up on this page would get the help I wanted.
