HELP WITH OPENUMISTAT SOFTWARE REPORTS
« on: August 06, 2023, 03:20:50 pm »
Does anyone know how to customize or change or generate new reports with Openumistat?  Using the manual and experimenting I have not been able to modify the reports included or create a new one.  I am trying to generate a report, selecting what fields I want to print and in what order.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.  Thanks.

I don't know the answer and maybe I should do a separate post. I looked up Openumistat as I hadn't heard of it. It looks interesting and was wondering what you think of it outside the report customization issue. I have all my coins in an Excel spreadsheet that is rather unwieldy and difficult to sort, etc. Thanks for any info you can provide on this program. I like that I could import my OpenOffice spreadsheet into it and more easily add photos.

Thanks,
Virgil

What operating system are you using? On Linux you can create and edit reports under "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/OpenNumismat/templates/". On Windows or macOS I imagine that the process would be similar, you just need to find the right folder. You could try using your operating system file browser to search for the folder "NumizmatPrice", which is a report template bundled with OpenNumismat. That should help you locate the folder where the reports are. I would advise against modifying the existing report templates as they will be overwritten when you update OpenNumismat to a newer version. Instead, you should make a copy of an existing report template, name it something new, and then modify it to your liking.

The reports are built using HTML and a templating language named "jinja".

Thank you Russell.  No luck so far.  There are no templates in the Templates Folder.  Checked both in Windows and MAC OS.  Folders are empty.
