S-89 Assignment Slips – Script Customization

Recently I was asked the following question:

Is it possible to highlight in the editor on the S-89 slip when a part has been assigned without a study point?stefano

This would be easier to implement for the Workbook and Worksheet views because they have a dedicated setting:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="Workbook-S-140 - start.xsl"?>
<MeetingWorkBook>
<Settings>
<LanguageCode>en</LanguageCode>
<EditorMode>1</EditorMode>
<Direction>ltr</Direction>
</Settings>

</MeetingWorkBook>

There is a workaround for the Slips view. The following information is for advanced script users.

The syntax of the S-89 Slips

If you right click the view and select View Source you will the syntax of the XML document. Eg:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15

21
22
23
24
25
26
27
28
29

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="AssignmentSlips.xsl"?>
<AssignmentSlips Version="180900">
<Settings>
<LanguageCode>en</LanguageCode>
<Template Style="s-89-eng.css">s-89-eng.jpg</Template>

<Page PageBreakBefore="0">

<Assignment>6</Assignment>

</StudentSlip>

</AssignmentSlips>

I have highlighted an example of where a study point has not been assigned: <StudyPoint></StudyPoint>.

The Changes

It it assumed that you are already working on a copy of the original script/stylesheet files. Locate this bit of script (should be line 57):

57
58
59
60
61
62

We need to adjust the hilighted line and test if the study point has a value. If it doesn’t then show asterixes and introduce a new class:

52
53
54
55
56
57
58
59
60
61
62
63
64
65

<div class="fieldCounsel">
<xsl:attribute name="dir">
<xsl:value-of select="//Settings/Direction"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="StudyPoint=''">
<xsl:attribute name="class">highlight fieldCounsel</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:text>**********</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="StudyPoint"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</div>

The Styling

The last thing we need to do make some changes to the stylesheet. We add the new class at the bottom of the script:

79
80
81
82
83
84
85
86
87
88
89

.highlight {
background-color: #FFFF00;
font-weight: bold;
}

@media print
{
.highlight{
display:none;
}
}

When you use the editor now you will have any unassigned study number highlighted:

We have used @media print to hide this highlighted text from the print out.
