HTML report page / image name customization
« on: February 13, 2007, 02:47:40 am »
I am trying to link to EA HTML Report-generated diagram pictures from other HTML documentation. The aim would be to avoid changing the other documentation when the model is updated - the link would remain the same but the image itself would be changed when the report would be regenerated.

But as the reports are regenerated, the page and image names (EA123.png, EA24.htm etc.) possibly change for the elements and the links begin to point to wrong places.

The HTML page templates can be customized. Can I do something similar to page/image names that are generated ?

(Or is there another approach to achieve what I'm aiming at ?)

Did this ever get resolved?

Yes, the filenames still vary, but you can append something like the following to the url for persistent link.

?guid={62D08670-1458-4d54-8A39-DBA993F6DFC1}

Hi Simon,

One might observe that since Sparx have gone this far, why not "go the whole hog" and make the file names be based on the GUID?  No more meaningless than the current scheme and a hell of a lot more stable!
