Larry,
I'm currently working on modifying the Business Card Repeat
OnJobStart callback (which can be found on Printable's FusionPro
Knowledge Base). My beta, stand-alone javascript file works
perfectly!... so I know something like this is possible.
Below would not control the data's behavior inside FusionPro's
Overflow, it would simply resort it based on specific factors in your
data.
I guess the real wish list here would be someway to preprocess
the job and then generate a data file, such my input file plus an
additional field
populated with the number of pages or sheets required for
each record.
You can do this! My modified OnJobStart callback loop thru. the input
file and return the orig. input file resorted into groups.
Adding an additional field could also be done. Maybe changing your
current Overflow template to one that had all versions inside it,
something like:
Page 1 = 1 Sheet Version
Page 2 = 2 Sheet Version (page 1)
Page 3 = 2 Sheet Version (page 1 - overflow)
Page 4 = 3 Sheet Version (page 1)
Page 5 = 3 Sheet Version (page 1 - overflow)
and so on.
The newly appended field in the "temp" input file could switch which
version is composed to.
Some records with 16 transactions could force another page
(depending on wrapping of longs lines such as an address)
were in some cases 19 transactions wouldn't.
To control which version to use, creating for loop with an if/then
statement inside which determines the total length of all the content
which would return the amount of pages to be used. If the total
content of one customer is less then (I'm just throwing this
attribute out) 1500 characters, use 1 Sheet Version. If the total
count is greater then 2500, use 2 Sheet Version.
If you can follow what I'm trying to explain... and have the ability
to write the javascript coding required, there is no reason this
shouldn't work.
My brain hurts!
Ryan
