Solved: Web reporting template

Former Member · ‎2006 Jun 12

Hi All.

Where can I find the web reporting template?

I mean, if you see the FM : WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT, it is using a template WEBREPORTING_REPORT.

Where is it defined? If I want to define my own template, how and where do I do it?

Thanks in adv.

Hi Raja.

When I do as said by you, on selectin WEBREPORTING_REPORT, and clicking on Display, I get a message : For selected object type text/html, no application has been defined. Maintain the settings.

Where and what settings do I have to define ?

tks.

athavanraja · ‎2006 Jun 13

ok, before clicking on display,

from the same screen

settings->maintain MIME types and see whether text/html is there if its there leave the next step.

if not

(click on create

for MIME type field enter text/html

for name extension field enter .htm/.html

)

go to settings->Assign MIME editor

choose text/html from the dropdown of MIME type

in the editor field enter "C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE" or the appropriate path and hit save.

Now click the display button.

(why do you want to look at it? what do you want to do with that?)

Regards

I already did that, but what I get in the IE is :

"!charset! "

that's all... I can't see any template.

I want to understand how the WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT is generating the HTML content from it. What role has the template got to do with converting list to HTML?

What is the diff if I use WWW_LIST_TO_HTML.

WWW_I_LIST_TO_HTML also seems to be using this template.

Thanks again.

right click on the html page and click view source.

you will see the following.

<html !direction!><head>!charset!<title>!title!</title>
<!style!>
</head>
<!script!>
<body background="!mimepath!background.gif" bgcolor="#E8EAD8">
<blockquote>
<p align=left><font size=+2><b><!listname!></b></font></p>
<p align=left>
<!listbody!>
</p>
</blockquote>
</body>
</html>

in the source are all just place holders. if you look at the source code of the function module WWW_HTML_FROM_LISTOBJECT

you will see code like

l_merge_table-name = '!charset!'.

l_merge_table-command = 'R'.

append l_charset to l_merge_table-html.

append l_merge_table.

which means where ever the system find '!charset!' Replace it with (command eq R - there are different commands availalbe) actual value to come in that place.

to understand more about it check these links.
