Script boxes disappeared in version 24.10.19

I am currently using Manager cloud version 24.10.19.1895 and encountering an issue with my invoice and purchase order templates. The content continues onto the next page without applying a proper page break, causing formatting issues when printing or saving as a PDF.

I have checked the theme settings but was unable to locate the code to insert the page break. Could you please assist in resolving this issue? @lubos

I’m experiencing the same problem with the themes, and I believe it’s related to the same bug mentioned here:

@lubos, we really need to look into this.

You should not expect action. Themes are an obsolete feature and are not supported. They remain in the program, but do not accommodate features, like Footers, added since they became obsolete. They remain only to support functionality available when themes were still actively supported.

You may be interested to know that the program used to function with a default theme, but no longer works that way. So when you use a custom theme, you are bypassing much of the built-in code and substituting your own. You are responsible for everything it does or does not do.

Footers are crashing in the same way as themes. I think this bug is related to something else that might be affecting multiple functions

To be specific “footers for sales invoices”

Footers do not work with custom themes. You either use footers or the obsolete themes.

Perhaps you did not read my earlier response. This is not a bug. The manner in which the program functions has been changed. The new way supports footers. The old way, using themes, never did and was never intended to, because footers had not yet been invented.

Likewise, themes never supported pagination, which is controlled by your printer driver.

This entire thread is exploring things that will never change, so it is pointless.

I didn’t say that footers work with themes. I mentioned that footers themselves are facing the same issue on the default theme. I brought attention to this issue in the forum post, but haven’t received any response yet.

Please have a look at this topic

And I don’t use custom themes

And I said there is no default theme. So whatever you think is happening cannot.

I can confirm that this isn’t related to just Themes, in fact all script boxes are affected by this in Themes, Footers & Report Transformations.

I do believe that this is a temporary bug, but a bug nonetheless.

I don’t think it’s hard to understand that when I say “default theme,” I mean “not using any custom themes”

Well it suggests that you use Theme’s.
Cause most people don’t say that they use the default theme.

There is two issue, one is Cannot edit a theme code, second is page break not apply, may I get solution for that?

Because the topic is talking about custom themes

At this point we will have to want on @lubos
or if you have a unopened backup you can open it in a older version of manager.
I use version 24.10.14.1886 and it works great on the Footers.
You can get older versions from the Github page.
Just note that you need a backup that has not been opened in the newer manager version.

I’m using cloud

Ok but do you have any backups?
If so then if they have not been opened in Manager version 24.10.19.1895 then you can open them in Manager version 24.10.14.1886 by downloading the desktop Edition.
I know that it is not great way, but that way you can print and edit your footers till @lubos fixes it.

I disagree, @ibnrawaha. You have been using terminology that has a specific historical significance in the development of Manager.

When you say that and there is no longer any such thing as a default theme, it conveys a definite message that you are using custom themes. There is no alternative.

I clearly stated I don’t use custom themes

Anyway there is no need to have a debate around a subtopic

Have a good day Tut

You did not say that until the substantive discussion was completed.
