Publishing HTML reports and SharePoint
« on: January 12, 2010, 02:52:55 pm »
Does anyone have any suggestions on nicely presenting html exports of the EA model into SharePoint?

I have found that if you set the save location for the html report as a SharePoint library you get millions of files as part of the html packages and it messes up all your 'relevant documents' and 'my site' etc.

Also, it would be nice if there was a web part that could be pointed at the resulting html model to render the model or the diagrams. So far I have used:
1) Page Viewer Web Part (iFrame) to display the My Computer location of the html files so that you can open the EA html model from SharePoint. For this I use 'display folders' and point at the filepath of the parent folder.
2) The diagram images seem to assume a different <filename>.png each time you refresh the export of the html. This means that if you are pointing a Content Editor Web Part at a static filepath to the .png of a diagram it won't get updated when you refresh the html generation. Why is this?
3) Is there a better stylesheet that anyone could share that works better or looks more 'SharePoint'?

Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated  8-)

Point 2 about the names of the images changing each time has been known since forever. I think I reported the "bug" three years ago.

For reasons best known to the Sparxians, it is by design.

Report another bug.  A bug appear to have to win the "Eurovision song contest".

FWIW, I would have named the diagram file <Diagram GUID>.png so I could have reproducibility of target.
