nested pagesHi
I am using OpenTBS since a few months and it is really a great tool for document creation. Now I am trying to implement the following feature with little success : My data is : $product[0] = array('title' => "product 1", "color" => "red", "form" => "circle"); $product[1] = array('title' => "product 2", "color" => "green", "form" => "cube"); $product[2] = array('title' => "product 3", "color" => "blue", "form" => "line"); $product[3] = array('title' => "product 4", "color" => "yellow", "form" => "arc"); and more and I want to split product data on several pages on the same document : the first page for the title, the others page for 'data' fields. Example : Start page product is "product 1" End page Start page product form is "circle" End page Start page product color is "red" End page Start page product is "product 2" End page Start page product form is "cube" End page Start page product color is "green" End page Start page product is "product 3" End page Start page product form is "line" End page Start page product color is "blue" End page Start page product is "product 4" End page Start page product form is "arc" End page Start page product color is "yellow" End page and more My template is : <page break>[product.title;block=tbs:page] <page break>[product.form;block=tbs:page] <page break>[product.color;block=tbs:page] where <page break> is where I inserted a new page break My php script is : $TBS->MergeBlock('product', $product); I get the unexpected result : Start page product is "product one" End page Start page product form is "cube" End page Start page product color is "blue" End page Start page product is "product two" End page I will appreciate any help on what i am missing on page block. Regards giuseppe |

Re: nested pagesHi Hiuseppe,
Your template should be:
What you've defined previously are sections of blocks. See http://www.tinybutstrong.com/manual.php#html_block_section |

Re: nested pagesHi Skrol29
thanks for pointing me extended blocks. It works. What is your idea if dealing with dynamic number of pages ? Assume I get from a database a different number of attributes for each products in the following structure : $product[0] = array('title' => "product 1", 'attributes' = array("attr1", "attr2", "attr3",..., "attrN")); $product[1] = array('title' => "product 2", 'attributes' = array("attr1", "attr2",..., "attrM")); Is there a way to insert a <page break> manually during the merge in order to get |product 1|attr1|attr2| ... |attrN|product 2|attr1|attr2|...|attrM| ? "|..|" is a page. Thanks for your consideration. |

Re: nested pagesYou cannot predict the height of a display text in Ms Word.
But you can probably use the "Kepp with next" property of paragraphs in Ms Word in order the compose a set of paragraphs that stay together on the same page (it possible). |
