Tiny Issue with ticket lister open tags

V5 Question
1

So i am basically done with my setup except for printing template i will do later.

i cant seem to get rid to the opening tag in the ticket lister,
if i make another matching closing tag (though there is already one in there), then tickets without a note have an extra closing tag show up,
i can live with it, just dont understand why

I didnt want to bother you guys, i tried for long time to play around but if i remove the size tag all together, it just shows the tag before it.

You seem to have two </size> closing tags at the end. Probably that

{NOTE}</size></size></color></font></block>

Make sure you dont have somewhere i previous rows an extra tag that isnt closed

Also, I just looked at mine, its different then yours but try this order of opening / closing tags

<block><size><font><color> {whatever} </color></font></size></block>

You can also set Font Name here so you can skip using Font tags. Unless you have specific columns in specific fonts

I removed even double definitions of size in a single block, somehow its worse, i will revert it to the previous one, if someone else encounters this maybe we’ll see

<L><block 1,0,0,0 #5ffffff center 80><size 14><font calibri><color #FFFFDD00>#{TICKET NO}</color></font></size></block>
<L><block 1,0,0,0 #5ffffff center 50><size 12><font calibri><color #AA00FF00>[='{CALL:Time.min('{CREATION MINUTES}')}' < '1' ? '1' :'{CALL:Time.min('{CREATION MINUTES}')}'] mins</color></font></size></block>
<L><block 35,0,0,0 #5ffffff center 130><size 13><font calibri><color #FFFFDD00>{ENTITY NAME:Customers}</color><br/><color #FF55BBFF>{ENTITY DATA:Customers:Name}</color></font></size></block>
<L><block 8,15,0,0 ><size 12><color #FFF2F2F2>
{ORDERS}
<L></color></size></block>
<J><block 35,0,0,0 #5ffffff center 90><size 10><font calibri><color #FFF79646>{TICKET QUANTITY SUM} <br/>items</color></font></size></block>

thank you it has solved the issue with the extra tag, which was the main concern. but it has now broken the template, but nonetheless this is huge improvement, i can play around to fix the template later. The important things was the tag

so it was basically removing the many font tags? just to know

Might have to revisit sizes of blocks (that you use to define column sizes) and check your Min/Max Width in the property settings of ticket lister, as well as set whatever font you want to use there.

I redid the order of opening and closing tags, and changed how it lists {NOTE}, similar to how it lists orders.

SambaPOS stores new rows in ticket note (when you press Enter) as two spaces if I am not wrong and then converts it into something else for this widget, couldn’t figure out what

I tried

[=('{NOTE}').replace('  ', ' ')]
[=('{NOTE}').replace('  ', '<br/>')]
[=('{NOTE}').replace('  ', '\n')]

But it didnt behave as I expected

so just had a dumb idea but works, I made a workaround for now,

also for testing purposes i added a space between each character in note to see what it was adding in the background and this was the output just for informational sake.

i made a workaround where if the note length is longer than a character add the tag, which is like a bandaid but works for me i guess

Your input was really helpful, i didnt know how to narrow down the issue. off to the next problem
