How do I use a linux shellscript to send a report as a pdf to a file like limereport.exe in Windows?

In Windows - limereport -s "Report" -d "Desktop" sends the report to the destination a s a pdf. What is the equivalent in Linux?

Requests | Пожелания / Documentation of LDR's script language

« on: January 07, 2023, 04:13:38 AM »

Hello,

I've been using Lime Report Designer for a while now and find it to be a very powerful program.
However I find that most of it's features are not documented in a way that is  available to the users. I find myself posting questions that could be answered in such a reference. What makes up the group of commands that can be used in a script? Some tell me the script is Qt, others JavaScript.

I would like to make use of the scripting abilities of LDR but, I do not know how or where to start.
A basic tutorial would be great. Those on this site must have had a source when they started. Please consider giving more detail on the scripting commands and how to use them. If one exist please let me know how to access it.

This would be of great help to those of us newbeies wandering in the wilderness.

Thanks for considering my request.

Hello,

Is there a way to view a report without loading it into the designer? I have an application where I want the administrator to be able to create reports but, the user has access to only view or print the report. Is there a way to do this in Lime Reports?

Thanks

Discussion | Обсуждение / Can I use a variable from a user dialog in a dataset definition

« on: November 20, 2022, 07:49:14 PM »

Hello,

I have a dataset built on a sql query. The query contains a where clause that selects records based on a certain date. The user enters the date in a user dialog. The date is stored in a variable. I would like to use this variable in my sql query. Something like SELECT * FROM <Table> WHERE Date = 'variable'. Is this possible? I think the connection/dataset definition occurs before the dialog script runs.

What is the correct syntax for the expression (COUNT(x..) * 0.15). I want to take the count of the records in the databand and multiply it by 0.15 and display the result in a text item. Can I get the value of a text item?

Thanks

Discussion | Обсуждение / Problems with Linux Appimage

« on: November 05, 2022, 05:53:13 PM »

Hello All,

I am running  Linux Mint 20.3 64 bit in a virtual box on Windows 8.1. I have loaded LRDesigner_1_4_7-64bit.appimage file. When I run the image LRDesigner opens and I am able to start a new report. The problem is when I click on report bands the drop down list is blank. This also happens when I right click on a text field. If I double click, as I should, It works properly but, not  :)with the band tool. If I click randomly on the band drop down I get a band on the report. Then the program locks up.

What is the fix? Am I missing a component in Linux?

Further if I try to compile it with QtCreator 8.0.1 the following errors occur:

:-1: error: cannot find -llimereport
:-1: error: cannot find -lQtZint
:-1: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)
make: *** [Makefile:160: ../build/5.12.8/linux64/release/designer/LRDesigner] Error 1
:-1: Error while building/deploying project designer (kit: Desktop)
Error while building/deploying project designer (kit: Desktop)
When executing step "Make"
:-1: error: Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: designercomponents-private

the build is unsuccessful. Checked the net and cannot find designercomponents-private.
So what do I do now to get LRDesigener to run properly?

Looks like a great tool if we can get it to run.

Thanks
