Evaluation of 'expr' inside any tag goes unnoticed!

[Joël Grand-Guillaume @ camptocamp]

Hi,

Since August 2009, the tag "expr" was remove from the report engine system.

This was very useful for positioning things in a report. Please, get it back !

It's aways used into the BVR report of l10n_ch if you want an test example. Try to go into the administration to change the positionning of the BVR, and you'll see it doesn't work anymore.

By the way, if you add this tag, you might consider adding the PTO tag too (https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-server/+bug/509266).

A patch for adding support for this RML tag, has been available for months here: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/38048667/pto_tag_support_for_trml2pdf_patch.diff

Hello,

Can you please have a test with this patch for expr tag.

this patch assumes that 'expr' tag can occur at any node.

Thanks

The patch is absolutely good.

Each tag should support the expr attribute.

Thanks.

Hello NCH,

This is working good.

The only problem is, its interrupting XS reports to be printed:
[2010-04-20 16:39:52,218] ERROR:web-services:[33]: File "/stable5/server/bin/report/render/rml2pdf/trml2pdf.py", line 72, in __init__

[2010-04-20 16:39:52,219] ERROR:web-services:[35]: TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not iterable

Hope this helps.
Thanks.
