HTML writer Fanout with fme_basename

The HTMLReportGenerator strips all attributes and adds html_content, the HTML writer only supports html_content as attribute, so it looks like you're out of luck.

However...

If you merge one of the orginal features to the output of the HTMLReportGenerator using the FeatureMerger and use a FeatureWriter instead of the regular HTML writer you can propagate the fme_basename attribute and use it as the output name.

Is it possible to do a Data-fanout after the html-content entered the HTML-Layouter?

Using this examle, I want to generate 80 html-documents - one report for each of the parks.

Hi @chrishoh, Did you mean to attach an example? I'm guessing your incoming data has an park name attribute. You can try using the park name attribute in the Group By parameter. This will create one HTML page for each park, and preserve park name attribute on the HTMLReportGenerator's output. And you should be able to use park name to fanout the output.

 

Hope that helps. Cheers,

 

But there is no Group By Parameter in HTMLReportGenerator? (FME2017)

 

 

Hi @chrisho. Ah, yes, although HTMLReportGenerator support the Group By parameter, the HTMLLayouter doesn't. Seeing the screenshot of your workflow helps a lot in understanding the scenario!

 

There is a secret trick to add group by parameter to transformers that don't have them. See this Q&A; for details about this Hack. Hopefully it will solve your problem.

 

Cheers
