Multiple pg body usage

[dmp]

Hi there,

I'm getting weird results and I'm not sure where my code is wrong.

I have 4 pages all set to unused.

Local records are page 1 & 2

Out of state are 3 & 4

so I'm using this OnRecordStart rule

but I'll get something like record 1 = pg 1,3,4.

 

if (Field("List")=="Local")
{
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("1", true)
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("2", true)
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("3", false)
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("4", false)
} 
if (Field("List")=="Out of State")
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("1", false)
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("2", false)
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("3", true)
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage("4", true)
}

I tried to look at the code Dan wrote for page ranges, but I can't wrap my head around the var i <= 6 i++ stuff. o.O

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong here?

 

Cheers,

Mike

Are your pages named 1, 2, 3, and 4? If not you may need to make the page numbers integers instead of strings:

if (Field("List")=="Local")
{
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(1, true)
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(2, true)
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(3, false)
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(4, false)
} 
if (Field("List")=="Out of State")
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(1, false)
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(2, false)
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(3, true)
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(4, true)
}

Or:

var page = Field("List") == "Local" ? 1 : 3;
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(page, true);
FusionPro.Composition.SetBodyPageUsage(page + 1, true);

Yes the pages are just named 1 2 3 and 4 respectively.

ok so putting the "" changes the meaning! I see.

thanks Step

 

What does this mean after the local:

? 1 : 3;

[step]

It's a ternary operator. It's a shorthand way of writing this:

if (Field("List") == "Local") {
 var page = 1;
} else {
 var page = 3;
}

[dmp]

OK, and then the page and page + 1 just grabs the next page after 1 and 3 respectively?

 

That code worked great. I didn't have success just removing the "" 's though.

 

Thanks Step for explaining it too!
