Using JavaScript API to display report in Joomla website

tango91a

Hi, 
 
I am trying use the JavaScript API to display a report in a Joomla web page. 
 
So to test it out, I created an article and used a plug-in that enables me to code directly within the article (i.e. use php, javascript, html etc.). I have used this plugin on numerous occasions and it works very well.
 
Script is as shown: 
<pre class="_prettyXprint _lang-html">
<html>
<BODY onload='init()'>
<script type='text/javascript' language='JavaScript' src='http://192.168.0.177:8080/myapp/jsapi'></script>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function init( ){
actuate.load('viewer');
actuate.initialize('http://192.168.0.177:8080/myapp', null,null,null,myInit);
}

function myInit(){
viewer1 = new actuate.Viewer('cont1');
viewer1.setReportDesign('/test.rptdesign');
viewer1.submit( );
}
</script>
<table>
<tr>
<td><div id='cont1' style=' border-width: 0px; border-style: solid;' /></td>
</tr>
</table>
</BODY>
</html>
</pre>
 
 
When I view the page all I get is the spinning animation...but nothing is displayed. Please see Image 1 attached:

First what version of Actuate are you using? Second how are you authenticating to Actuate? Are you using ICSE?

Hi,
 
I am using the Actuate BIRT Viewer Toolkit for this project. I don't think the toolkit requires authentication. Not using ICSE.
 
 
Thanks,

I have no idea then. Have you tried to use the browsers developer tools to find if there are errors?

Hi,
 
I tried the same script with F-Type and it works fine, but I cannot get it to work with the Actuate BIRT Viewer Toolkit. Any ideas?
 
When using F-Type it works with Chrome and Firefox but not with Internet Explorer 11 ( I changed the compatibility settings but still no joy). Any ideas?
 
Thanks

Paul,
 
Have you used Chrome dev tools and taken a look at the console to see if there's any Javascript errors? Are the following URLs valid for your application?:
 
<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://192.168.0.177:8080/myapp/jsapi'>http://192.168.0.177:8080/myapp/jsapi</a>
 
and 
 
<a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='http://192.168.0.177:8080/myapp/'>http://192.168.0.177:8080/myapp/</a>
 
In addition, what plugin are you using? Does it support loading page resources in the head? If it doesn't you'll have to find a way to load the JSAPI library (first URL above) in the head of your document.
 
Thanks,
 
Steve

Hi Steve,
<ul><li>I used both Chrome dev tools and Firebug (via firefox)....but there were not Javascript errors.</li>
<li>Both urls are valid for the application. I can see them when I use the web browser dev tools. For example when I click on the jsapi url in the dev tools...I see the Actuate script.</li>
<li>I use the plugin Sourcerer. The scripts loads in the head.</li>
</ul>Perhaps there's something wrong with the BVT. Because using the same scripts and switching the url to the F-Type app..everything works fine.

Paul
