title in print template from site.xml

I am trying to get the Title for my print template from my site.xml file but I get an error when I try to run the report:

Control Script failed for

 

control MapTitle ,

 

Source=MapTitle

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks!!

 

In my print template I have:

a control:

<Control Type="AR.Field" Name="MapTitle" DataField="MapTitle" Left="12330" Top="1890" Width="2520" Height="360" Style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: middle; " />

a calculated field:

<Field Name="MapTitle" Formula="_MapTitle" FieldType="None" />

 

In my site.xml I added a TextField to my print template:

     <TextFields>

 

        <TextField DataFieldName="_MapTitle" DisplayName="_MapTitle" Editable="false" MultiLine="false" Value="Map Title" />

 

      </TextFields>

  Is it because you dont have the undescore in the Control dataField?

  You have MapTitle, when the other sections reference _MapTitle.

  Hi Cathy,

  I tried what you suggested, the title turned out empty instead of the error.

  What I think should happen is, in PrintTemplate.rpx, the control has a DataField="MapTitle" so it get's the data from the CalculatedField Name="MapTitle". That CalculatedField has a Formula="_MapTitle" which refers to the Site.xml which has a TextField with DataFieldName="MapTitle".

  Any other ideas?

   

  Thanks!

  Ok, this seems kind of quirky.

  What DOES work is this:

  In Site.xml:

  <TextField DataFieldName="_MapTitle" DisplayName="_MapTitle" MultiLine="false" Value="Map Title" />

  And in template.rpx:

  <Control Type="AR.Field" Name="_MapTitle" DataField="_MapTitle" Left="12330" Top="1890" Width="2520" Height="360" Style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold; font-size: 10pt; vertical-align: middle; " />

  (and no CalculatedField).

   

  The problem is, and perhaps all along, is that when I add Editable="false" to the TextField entry in site.xml then nothing gets displayed. I do not want the user to be able to change the map title.

  Any ideas? Is Editable="false" incorrect?

   

  Thanks!

  Unfortunately this seems to be a bug. You cannot currently have a configurable text field which is not user editable -- it just shows up blank, as you have experienced. I've filed this in our bug tracker so that it can be addressed in an upcoming release of Essentials.
