Adding HTML code and getting value back to BIRT parameters

SDagenais

Hi,<br />
<br />
Using BIRT 2.3.2 with MAXIMO 7.1.1.6.<br />
<br />
I am facing an issue with a report that i have and have been searching and testing for a while, with no real solution. I've added a Text element which i've add some HTML code, to create radio button on the report. Once selecting any button, i would like to update a BIRT parameter so i could go to a detail report with this new value and the others selected from my selection criteria screen.<br />
<br />
<script><br />
function changeparams() {<br />
for (var i=0; i < document.radioButton.DetailRptType.length; i++)<br />
{<br />
if (document.radioButton.DetailRptType.checked)<br />
{<br />
var rad_val = document.radioButton.DetailRptType.value;<br />
}<br />
}<br />
rdbt = '';<br />
rdbt=rad_val;<br />
<br />
params["DetailRptType"].value="TEST"; <br />
}<br />
</script><br />
<form METHOD="post" onclick="changeparams()"> <br />
<input type="radio" checked name="DetailRptType" value="Compliant"> Compliant </input><p><br />
<input type="radio" name="DetailRptType" value="Non-Compliant"> Non-Compliant </input><p><br />
<input type="radio" name="DetailRptType" value="Backlog"> Backlog </input><p><br />
<input type="radio" name="DetailRptType" value="Cancelled"> Cancelled </input><p><br />
<input type="submit" value="Submit"><br />
</form><br />
<br />
on my report, on the beforeFactory, i've add the following code, which does an hyperlink to my detail report BUT my params["DetailRptType"], is not populate:<br />
<br />
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api);<br />
importPackage(Packages.org.eclipse.birt.report.model.api.elements);<br />
<br />
<br />
dataHandle = reportContext.getReportRunnable().designHandle.getDesignHandle().findElement("mydataelement");<br />
<br />
ac = StructureFactory.createAction();<br />
ah = dataHandle.setAction( ac );<br />
ah.setLinkType("drill-through");<br />
ah.setReportName( "92_Test_HTML.rptdesign");<br />
ah.setTargetFileType("report-design");<br />
ah.setTargetWindow("_blank");<br />
pb = StructureFactory.createParamBinding();<br />
pb.setParamName("location");<br />
pb.setExpression("params[\"location\"]");<br />
ah.addParamBinding(pb);<br />
pb1 = StructureFactory.createParamBinding();<br />
pb1.setParamName("DetailRptType");<br />
pb1.setExpression("params[\"DetailRptType\"]");<br />
ah.addParamBinding(pb1);<br />
<br />
Does anyone have ideas or suggestions on this issue that i am facing ?<br />
<br />
Regards,<br />
<br />

Hi Stephane,

I'm using BIRT 2.6.1.

I've got the same issue. I've followed the best practice here : http://esitnikov.blogspot.com/2010/01/birt-best-practice_5227.html, which is the same process you described. I asked him anyway. I didn't get any reply yet.

Let me know if you point out how to do from this best practice.
