Document Printer

@emre
When document printer is selected, the & symbol causes an error.

There is a problem while printing. Check printer and printer template settings.
Error Message:
An error occurred while parsing EntityName, Line 67 position 155

It wont print when there is an & symbol anywhere in the template, product names or product tags

Can this be resolved?

You can encode them.

I stole this…

… from this cool guy.

This is the function text.

function encode(text)
{
  return text.replace(/[\u00A0-\u9999<>\&]/gim, function(i) {
    return '&#' + i.charCodeAt(0) + ';';
  });
}

Excellent thanks very much

Just testing here, some products also include ’ and " these product names will not print when {CALL:util.encode(’{NAME}’)}

This script fixes the & Issue but creates another Is there a solution where I can have both.

emre · November 12, 2015, 12:48pm

Try this.

function encode (text) {
    return text.replace(/&/g, '&amp;')
               .replace(/</g, '&lt;')
               .replace(/>/g, '&gt;')
               .replace(/"/g, '&quot;')
               .replace(/'/g, '&apos;');
               
}

No this still does not resolve the issue. Everything works except for the ' I tried replacing the &apos; with ' but still no luck.
' works in the document body but when its encoded it won’t

I also noticed the Order Tag Note wont accept a quote symbol "

I need these in product names and and in misc item Order Tag Note to show lengths. Eg. 6’ 10"

Can you post your template so I can test it on my side.

Also this code would not work so i removed it
[{CALL:util.encode('{ENTITY DATA:Customer:Company Name}')}<LineBreak/>]
It will not show even if there is data It works without the [ ]

EDIT: I’m having trouble with adding this template in code box but you get the idea of what im doing

emre · November 16, 2015, 5:57pm

OK I found a better solution. For parts you want to allow any characters you can use <![CDATA[{NAME}]]> format. CDATA is a standard XML tag that is useful to process text data.

However that xml tag will be stripped by [ ] printer template processor so it will work fine with next update (.55)

silentbob · December 11, 2015, 8:56pm

Is there an option to hide text overflow on the documnet printer? I would like to limit the descriptions to one line.

I have tried TextTrimming="CharacterEllipsis" and TextWrapping="NoWrap" but they are not recognised

QMcKay · December 12, 2015, 3:23pm

Have you tried a simple expression? Something like:

[='{DESCRIPTION}'.substr(0,10)]

silentbob · December 16, 2015, 5:02pm

No that does not work

emre · December 17, 2015, 12:29am

Where / How you’ve tried it?
