I only use smartstream if I have large image files that are pulled in on the fly. I know FP can do this, but Smartstream handles this real well.

Sorry, I don't have any advice, but I had to post that you made me laugh. I have not heard the phrase conniption fit in years!!!!

That was going to be my next attempt since the elements that are the different color are in a static position. My IS department was looking into a different way to do it through the building blocks file. I haven't heard any more about it, but it sounded like they were looking and doing even more to customize it. Thanks for the replies, appreciate it!!

I wasn't able to do it in Fusion Pro as is. Our IS department thinks they may be able to do it through FP with some reprogramming, but haven't heard anything further. Were you able to do it through Fusion Pro? How is the new job going?

Novice skills showing up again!!! Wanted to do the same for my MAC but can't figure out where to get this done??? I don't see that same .js file in the location the manual says it is on the MAC. Found it, for anyone that may want to know here it is: /Library/Application Support/Printable/FusionPro

Great point, I will have to remember to keep that script handy if and when I upgrade to a newer version of FP! I wouldn't go that far, but I am trying to learn things as I go!

I figured it out, using the RulesTemplate.english.js file! This will be a great to use for rules I want to create for many of my jobs. I added this to the end of the file and it seems to work. FusionPro.RuleTemplates["Make2D"] = { description: "Create 2D Barcode.", syntax: "return MakeDataMatrixBarcode(Field(\"fieldname\"), null, null, null, 7, null, null);", taggedtext:1, istext:1, isgraphic:0 } I actually now changed it to find my exact field name that will be the same for every job and now I don't have to make any edit to the rule, just add it.

I have used the method for creating a new job from a previous dif file, but this is a rule I would want available for every job no matter what rules were built in previous templates on a job per job basis. Looking through the manual I think this can be accomplished if I edit the RulesTemplate.English.js file. Is this correct and has anyone tried this before? Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the response, I have it working now. Not as quick and easy as I was hoping it could be. May just have to keep the rule on my desktop for easy copying and pasting.

I want to have this rule available to all jobs in Fusion Pro without having to copy and paste it everytime. The field will always be the same from my data. "return MakeDataMatrixBarcode(Field("Sequen"), null, null, null, 7, null, null)" Can this be done, I tried writing a .js file myself and putting the .js file in the plug-ins folder but it doesn't return anything. Thanks in advance for any help!! Forgot to mention that I would need the Tagged Text box check as well.

Guess that makes me ancient, since I have used this program since the DL100 days!!

I agree with Kim, thanks to everyone who helps me out with my issues as well, especially the JavaScript!!!! Quick question, is the Text Measure Function available to versions before FP8?

Perfect, Thank You!

step, one the second code to do the string, my client would like it to say for example: 1, 2, 3, and 4. They want the comma before the "and" as well. I updated the code you supplied to accomplish this, but how can I get it to exclude that comma if I have only two of the fields with data, for example 1 and 2. Thanks!!!

Outstanding, Thank You!!!!

Perfect, the new code worked correctly. Getting great stuff off this forum of late, thank you everyone!!!

Both rules work for me but I have a problem when the street name is a number. For example 123 86th Ave is returned 12386th Ave.

Also, with that rule joining fields. Would there be a way to write it for a string of fields but have the last instance of variable found say ", and"? For example: "1, 2, 3, 4, and 5"

This forum is great, I learn ways to do things much easier from here. Question in regards to this. What if the data didn't contain the tag, such as "Phone" or "Mobile". Is there a way to have this rule work with hardcoded tags, but suppress if the field is empty and still add the commas as well? Or would it just be easier to change the input data?

Thanks for the quick response. Attached is a scan of 3 QR codes with multiple colors. Next to it is a sample out of Fusion Pro in all black. They all scan the same. It looks like there is a logo in the center of the multi colored one as well. Is this possible to do in Fusion Pro?? Scan.pdf

I was wondering if there is a way to have a multiple colored QR Code produced through Fusion Pro? My salesperson has a sample and I have never seen it done.

Quick question about QR codes. Can they be produced in multiple colors out of Fusion Pro or just black?

OK, so that option is only in 8. Will have to look into upgrading, thanks. This forum is great, helps me out a ton!!! Thanks everyone!!

Yep, figured that part out and used "PDF" instead. I was replying when you did so maybe you didn't see my next question. Is there a way to have the file output change by the value changes in the field or is it still only driven by the value I enter for the output to multiple files?

OK, so I see how this works and could be very beneficial. Is there a way to have the output files chunked by the value change in the specified field or is it only based on how many records you indicate per file?
