Adding custom "3 section" footer to default report template - reporting-services

What is the best approach for creating a "3 section" (left, right, center) report footer in SSRS 2005?
I'm putting the report ID and version number in the bottom left hand corner- the print (current) date/time in the center and page x of y on the right.
Currently I simply place three overlapping text boxes with different alignment but I get warnings: [rsOverlappingReportItems] The textbox ‘textbox28’ and the textbox ‘textbox19’ overlap. Overlapping report items are not supported in all renderers.
What would a better way of doing this be?
Can I then modify the default template or add to the wizard so my new reports all include this?

With this I'm answering the following part of your question:
Can I then modify the default template or add to the wizard so my new
reports all include this?
You actually can modify the default template. The default template is actually just a simple report, a .rdl file. It's located in C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject\
So what you need to do is create a report that will be your template, then replace the content of the Report.rdl with the content of your template report. You can right-click the report in Solution Explorer and select View Code to copy the content to clipboard (or use any text editor).
Alternatively, you can leave the default report.rdl as is, and add an additional .rdl in that folder which will serve as your template. Any .rdl added in that folder will appear when you do Add > New Item in Solution Explorer.
(For SSRS 2008, the path above would be: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\ProjectItems\ReportProject)

As #Valentino said we can modify the default template globally or you can follow this procedure for modifying locally.
You can acheive this by.
create a report with what you need by default like having the Report header and Report Footer with the 3 textboxes and alignment and content in report footer textboxes and page margins if needed. Assume this as the template for all the reports.
Next in the solution explorer when you want to create the new report then right click on the report you created as the template and press copy. Click on the solution explorer area and press ctrl+v. This will create a copy of the report template.
Rename it and use it.

JasperReports - Embedding chart as SVG into HTML report

I'm using JasperReports integrated into Spring application (JasperReports 6.3.0, SpringBoot 1.4.1).
I have a report (created with Jaspersoft Studio 6.3.1) with a stacked bar chart within. It does print properly in pdf, xls. The problem is html format, which has the chart displayed as an empty box - when you look at the source code, the src attribute of img element is empty.
I've seen people advicing setting up some kind of Jasper-defined servlet to serve images as static files to html report, though this might be extra complicated with environment I'm working on.
The most convenient way I can think of is to insert the chart in svg format, so that it would be present inside the html content - this is my preferred solution to this.
The chart element (in report desing) actually has an option to be displayed as svg, though changing this doesn't seem to affect html output at all, just like Jasper would want to export the created svg to a file, and then include it as image anyways.
I've tried several config options, but I'm kind of stuck now, so my question is:
Do I need some extra environment setup, or some other fancy stuff, to reach my goal? Is what I ask for even possible with JasperReports?
Thanks in advance!
What you need is the following two properties in your jasperreports.properties (if you don't already have that file, create it and put it to a jar or folder that's on the application classpath):
net.sf.jasperreports.chart.render.type=svg
net.sf.jasperreports.export.html.embed.image=true

How to hide the breadcrumb in ssrs report manager

I have created a report and uploaded it in Report manager in SSRS. I have a asp.net web page where I have a hyperlink that has the URL to open the report in the report server. Now when the report opens user can see the report path on the breadcrumb. My question is how to hide that? My hyperlink is
/ReportsDev/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fCFM%2fCurrentGeneralLedger%2fInterestCharges')">
I have tried &rv:Toolbar=false after the link but didn't work.
I cannot change style as suggested in a link by going
:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSRS10_50.MSSQLSERVER\Reporting Services\ ReportManager as I don't have permission.
Any suggestion will be helpful!
what i do to hide breadcrumb is
instead of going to (default site)
http://servername/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx
and then navigating to the report
i go to
http://servername/ReportServer
I have been trying to find the same answer and realised the below.
Considering the link:
http://servername/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx
If in the above scenario "Reports" is named something else for e.g. "Reports_foobar" then the equivalent for report viewer would be "ReportServer_foobar" as below:
Report aspx:
http://servername/Reports_foobar/Pages/Report.aspx
ReportViewer aspx:
http://servername/ReportServer_foobar/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx

Why does visual studio not run current html file

I am currently designing a website using Visual Studio 2015 Community and, for whatever reason, when I launch the website it will not launch the most current html file. Even though I have saved the newest file it will launch a previously created version of the website. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
Make sure the current html page is inside the project(from solution explorer).
If you make a new file from 'File' menu it will not be saved inside your project.
To create file inside project write click Proj name(in solution explorer) and click add -> file
In solution explorer right click on your project then select properties
after that from left panel select web
from there you can see three radio buttons inside start actions select current page
(or the option that suits you)

Visual Studio 2010 RDLC: Support for HTML?

I've read rumors that with the Report Viewer component of Visual Studio 2010 Professional, it is possible to render HTML from the database into a report. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to find definite information online and I'd rather not buy the upgrade just to try it out.
Can anyone confirm or deny that this feature exists, preferably by citing a credible source (such as the VS 2010 documentation)?
(EDIT) Clarification: I'm talking about Visual Studio, not SQL Server. I know that SSRS 2008 and SSRS 2010 support rendering HTML. I also know that Visual Studio and SQL Server use the same libraries for rendering reports. That's why I think that it might be possible to render HTML in Visual Studio 2010 client-side ("local processing") RDLC reports. I just want someone to confirm this: Can I render HTML using the ReportViewer component of Visual Studio 2010?
You can render subsets of HTML in a VS2010 Report Viewer by editing the Place Holder properties under "General" on the L/H side of the properties window. This will work in .RDLC or .RDL file.
According to your comment above:
#Alison: The problem is quite simple: If I display a field containing HTML in a report, this field shows the HTML source instead of the rendered content. Your statement that rdlc s in VS2008 Professional support HTML rendering surprises me. As far as I know, this is not the case (see, for example, stackoverflow.com/questions/2172105). Can you give more information on how you think it is possible to display rendered HTML in a VS2008 report (note that I am talking about rdlc reports, not Crystal reports)?
Create a placeholder, or select one that may already be in a grid for example. Right Click and select Placeholder Properties. General should be selected by default, look under Markup Type, select the "HTML - Interpret HTML tags as styles" radio button. This will cause the control to render a subset of HTML.
Clarification: This works for .RDLC files created with VS2010 and its Report Viewer.

Yes, you can Render html in Visual Studio 2010 Professional. Only you need to do is double click on text field that you want to render, It will open Placeholder Properties window, By default General tab will be selected on the left top corner, if it is not selected , Please select General tab, there you will see radio button option:Html-Interpret HTML tags as style, Please select that option and click ok, that should work.

Getting an image from a header

I have a SSRS 2005 rdl file, which contains a header section. The header section has a logo image.
I need to know where in the rdl file is the logo image stored?
The logo is to be used for other reports.
Thanks
FC
It depends on how the author created the report. You can have 1 of 4 methods to store images for use in a report:
Embedded - The report is embedded in the actual report file
Project - The image is stored in the Report project and shared across the reports within the project
Database - the image is stored in a db
Web - The image is linked from a location on the web
If it is embedded, your rdl will include an element with the actual file contents inside of the element.
If it is a Project image, it will be inside of an tag.
There will be corresponding tags for DataBase and Web images as well, although I have never dealt with them.
