Tryton Webkit Report
Project description
Webkit based PDF report engine
This package allows you to build HTML based reports and then convert them into PDFs using wkhtmltopdf which uses the webkit rendering engine and QT. (WebKit is the engine of Apples Safari).
The templates are written using Genshi. Though Genshi is not our favorite templating engine, it is a package tryton core depends on, and the authors did not want to add another template engine as its dependency. Genshi comes with a fairly good tutorial.
The package also supports Jinja’s Template Inheritance.
Using this in your projects
Instead of using the default report class from trytond.report use the ReportWebkit class from this package instead.
from openlabs_report_webkit import ReportWebkit class UserReport(ReportWebkit): __name__ = 'res.user'
Output Formats
To get PDF outputs (instead of standard html) ensure that the report definition in xml clearly shows the extension as PDF. This could be changed from the tryton administration section too.
Adding as a dependency
You can add the report toolkit as a dependent package of your tryton module by adding into the install_requires list on your setup.py script. Remember to specify the version numbers carefully, or the latest version of the package available would be installed.
For example if your module is for version 2.6 of tryton, the line to add would be
install_requires = [ ..., 'openlabs_report_webkit>=2.6,<2.7' ..., ]
Gotchas!
The report file is missing
Did you add the template file to the package_data in your setup.py ?
Did you add the template file extension to the included files in MANIFEST ?
PDF generation problems
Check if wkhtmltopdf works well: Installing it simply via sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf on Ubuntu for exmaple will install a reduced functionality version which is probably not what you want.
