Using {::group} tags

Templates

1

Dear,

I’m trying to use the {::group} and {:/group} tags in my reconciliation. So when I export the reconciliation the code within the group tags would be displayed on the same page. However in export modus the first group tag is Always visible. How can I fix this?

Thanks in advance guys,

Greetz

This {::group} tag is really bothering me and I can’t seem to find the problem. Did anyone else yet found it?

Someone? Someone? Someone?

@GMOONS,

So sorry I couldn’t help you earlier.

I think the problem is a combination of the group-tags of the template with the group-tags of the ‘style’ that is being used for export.
That’s right: in a style there are also some group-tags that are combinated with group-tags of the template.

Have you tested it with another style perhaps (a standard style of ours)? If it gives the same error, you could give the name of your Silverfin - environment and the style to check out (you can do it through a PM if you want).

Maybe you could also have a look at the styles: segment ‘detail text’ is mostly liquid-code we use to export.

I have the same issue. Is there any solution in the meanwhile?

Hi @Joke

The solution lies in what my colleague answered here.
It depends on the style you use to generate the PDF. That determines if you should start with open or closed group tags.

Most commonly, in the section “detail text” of a style, the group tag is opened, then the template is rendered, then the tag is closed.
That means that if you want to use grouping within your reconciliation text, you need to start by closing a group tag first, then opening one.

I tend to always do both in one go, that way you don’t forget to also end with an open tag.

{% nic %}
{:/group}
{::group}
{% endnic %}

→ content I want to stick together ← 

{% nic %}
{:/group}
{::group}
{% endnic %}

See Group as well.

I have added before and after each block of text “{% nic %}
{:/group}
{::group}
{% endnic %}” but it doesn’t seem to fix the problem

@Joke

Can you confirm the group tags are not:

  • within stripnewlines tags
  • within an html table
  • indented

If you’re still seeing group tags after confirming this, can you check the liquid code in the detail text of the style you use to print the PDF?

@Joke

Apologies for the double mention. I wanted to add one more thing:
Can you please also confirm if your code is in a reconciliation text or not?
(in case of permanent texts, as also mentioned in our docs, you should actually open the groups tags first and then close them, as the detail text in the style plays no role here)

By eliminating I was able to solve it thanks to your feedback!!
