Missing Header & Footer in generated file

[Pawel Zubkiewicz]

Hi All,

Once again I stumbled upon a problem.
I wrote a script that generates RTF document, everything works great except one detail: Header & Footer are missing in generated file.

I have them templates (logo and page number) but they are not present in generated file.

Basically my  script is invoked from context menu on diagram OnDiagramScript(); listener function.
Then I get list of all elements on diagram and generate the file
more or less like that:

Code: [Select]

            var docGenerator = Repository.CreateDocumentGenerator();
            if (docGenerator.NewDocument("")) {
                documentCoverPage(docGenerator, elements);
                docGenerator.InsertBreak(0);
                docGenerator.InsertTableOfContents();
                docGenerator.InsertBreak(0);
                docGenerator.SaveDocument(FILENAME, DocxType);
                Session.Prompt("Document successfully generated", promptOK);
            }Where

Code: [Select]

            documentCoverPage = function (docGenerator, elements) {
            docGenerator.DocumentPackage(packageId, 0,TEMPLATE_COVER_PAGE);
            var documentChanges = filterElements(elements, "Change");
           
            for (var i = 0; i < documentChanges.length; i++) {
                var change = documentChanges[i];
                docGenerator.DocumentElement(change.ElementID, 0, TEMPLATE_CHANGE_HISTORY);
            }
        };Generaly I don't do anything special.. the only difference is that everything is started and generated in script, not from F8 / Generate Documentation functionality.

Did you guys have problems like that?
Any idea on how to fix it will be appreciated :-)

See the notes on InsertLinkedDocument () in the following help page:

Thanks Dermot :-)
It works !!!

It also works for EA12.1.

I just wonder why DocumentGenerator.InsertTemplate (string templateName) method does not have the same magical power to insert header and footer.
Now I need to have additional element just to have linked document with header and footer.

But I know... it's EA way
