I managed to write the contact details on the Individual report. However, now I want to go a little further and create
- A report with a contacts:= a contact list
- List with all birthdays - a birthday calendar
I've seen that a lot of the reports that list data take a repertory from the session (like for example oRepertoryIndividuals), however I don't see this repertory being build up in the other reports, hence I assume that the Repertory is predefined.
Can you help me whether there is a predefined Repertory for contacts and/or whether the oRepertoryIndividuals repertory contain birthday info?
If the answer above is no, do I need to traverse the collection, which is probably slower or should I change the Individual.htm and create the Repertories?
Thanks in advance,
rgds,
Ronald

I did not had time to write the templates for the contact. In fact, the contacts will be completed in
Beta 17. In Beta 17, the Contact record will be interacting with the Occupancy record.

Dan, what is the reason that I can write the contents of the contact object when I am going through the Individuals collection and not when I am using the Contacts collection?
I used the following:
Set collContacts = ReportGenerator.Document.Collection("Contacts")
If (Not Util.IsNothing(collContacts)) Then
For Each cont In collContacts
Report.WriteLn "Email: " & cont.email & "<br/> "
Next
End If |
and got:
Error at line 30 (contacts.htm) : Object doesn't support this property or method: 'cont.email'
Microsoft VBScript runtime error 800A01B6
Where as if I use in the Individual.htm:
Set collContacts = i.contacts.ToGenoCollection
if collContacts.count > 0 then
Report.Write "<br /><a name='Contacts'></a><b>Contact Informatie</b><br />"
strPrefix=strName
strRelative=strName&"'s"
for each c in collContacts
WriteTableBegin
' I am using the comment fied currently to store the address
Report.WriteT3 "<ul>Adres: ",c.comment
Report.WriteBr ""
Report.WriteT3 "Tel.: ",c.telephone
Report.WriteBr ""
Report.WriteT3 "Email: ",c.email
Report.WriteBr ""
Report.Write "WWW: <a href="&c.homepage&">"&c.homepage&"</a>"
Report.Write "</ul>"
WriteTableEnd
next
end if |
It works like a charm...
Should I be traversing the Individual Collection until Beta 16?
Can you please also answer my question about (predefined) repertories?
Thanks in advance,
Kind regards,
Ronald

Let me check this. Ideally, the following code should work. In fact, you should use the method WriteT3Br.

IT DOES WORK... BUT WHY?
I am trying to understand the report writer and, honestly, this doesn't make it any easier... :-?
So Contacts is a predefined collection. I don't need to get the collection with:
Set coll = ReportGenerator.Document.Collection("Contacts")
???
Anyway, I'll continue... right now, but honestly, I starts to become more guessing than knowing, which, as a professional programmer, I really hate :-)

The documentation is incomplete. You can always access a collection using the long format if you don't know the collection name at compile-time:
strCollection = "Contacts"
Set coll = ReportGenerator.Document.Collection(strCollection) |
You have every right to be confused. The ReportGenerator.Document.Collection("Contacts") always returns a collection of Pictures. I hardcoded it to pictures for testing purpose and forgot to finish the code. If you run the following code, you will see each object class is "Picture".
For Each c In ReportGenerator.Document.Collection("Contacts")
Report.WriteLn "c.class: " & c.Class & "<br/> "

That makes sense. Effectively I had exactly the same problem when I asked for a collection of Indiviiduals; not surprising, knowing what you write above :-)....
Anyway, I used the Contacts Collection right now which works like a charm (I have created the full email distribution list of all the people in the tree as well as the full address list, and I assume I could use the Individuals collection in order to get at the birth.date?
Thanks for making it clear, I wasn't losing my sense....
PS. Is there any way in VBscript to do introspection ? (i.e. to find out which methods and properties an (so far unknown) object has?
Kind regards,
Ronald

Eventually GenoPro will support the IntelliSense. At the moment, you can view the property/methods of each object within GenoPro from the Tag Definitions dialog (Menu -> Tools -> Tag Definitions).

Will a contact list with birthdays (listed per month) be available together with the release of Beta 18?
