Commercial BIRT, or Open Source BIRT? What version of BIRT?

suresh@anumolu

Clement,
 
Thanks for looking into this. We are using the commercial version of BIRT. However i would like to check on open source as well.
 
Commercial version of Ihub is -
The iHub version we are using is â€“ iHub: 23 Augusta R1 Development (Build 230A131216)

For iHub:
1. Navigate to the following location <iHub home directory>\Jar\BIRT\platform\plugins 
2. Open the folder com.actuate.birt.report.engine.emitter.config_23.0.0.v20131216
 
There will be .xml files corresponding to each download format.
 
3. Back up and then open any one the XML files that you do not want to appear in list. 
4. Change emitter enabled value to false. By default it is commented so you'll need to un-comment it first. 
 
Before
<pre class="_prettyXprint">
</pre>
 
After
<pre class="_prettyXprint">
<emitter enabled="false" /></pre>
5. Restart iHub
 
 
 
For OS BIRT, you'll have to be specific to which version you're targeting.

clement,
 
Thanks for the details. However i could not find couple of formats html and xhtml in it. But i do see these formats on BIRT viewer. Do i need to look at any other folders for those formats?
These are the formats i could find in that config folder.
 
com.actuate.birt.report.engine.emitter.config_23.0.0.v20131216]$
about.html
com.actuate.birt.report.engine.emitter.xls.xml
com.actuate.birt.report.engine.emitter.xlsx.xml
fragment.xml library.jar
META-INF
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.doc.xml
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.docx.xml
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.pdf.xml
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.postscript.xml
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.ppt.xml
org.eclipse.birt.report.engine.emitter.pptx.xml
Thanks

Looks like in iHub3 (Final) the version you have doesn't have this XML setting available.
 
It is possible to do this from the UI Information Console side.
 
1. Under ...\iportal\iv\viewer, backup the file feature39218.js
 
2. (White spaces are removed so you'll need to do a search, or you use a tool like Notepad's JSTool to beautify the JavaScript.
 
Find:
<pre class="_prettyXprint">
 var I = F.exportReportOptions;
 var A = new Array();</pre>
Insert:
<pre class="_prettyXprint">
 var I = F.exportReportOptions;

for (var ix = 0; ix < I.length; ix++) {
 if (I[ix].outputFormat == 'xhtml') {
 I.splice(ix,1);
 break;
 }
}

 var A = new Array();</pre>
3. Save
 
4. Flush your browser's cache, or launch an incognito/private browser to test.
