Separate TOC for different tables

[AFRINA M]

Hi everyone,

Is there any way to generate separate TOC for different tables created? All of my codes work well - I can create two separate tables except TOC part where it will combine all TOCEntry together into one TOC. I tried to create TOC using a different doc like below but it also won't work. Any advice?

=================================================

class MyDocTemplate(BaseDocTemplate):

    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):

        BaseDocTemplate.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)

        self.drug_page = {}  # Dictionary to hold drug names and their page numbers

        self.disease_page = {}

        self.toc_built = False

    def afterFlowable(self, flowable):

        if hasattr(flowable, 'dis_title'):

            self.disease_page[flowable.dis_title] = (self.page - 1)

            self.notify('TOCEntry', (0, flowable.dis_title, (self.page - 1))) # later remove the number 1000 from pdf manually

        if hasattr(flowable, 'drug_name'):

            self.drug_page[flowable.drug_name] = (self.page - 1)

            self.notify('TOCEntry', (1, flowable.drug_name, (self.page - 2)))

       

    def build_toc(self):

        self.toc_built = True

        toc = TableOfContents()

        toc.levelStyles = [TOCHeading1, TOCHeading2]

       

        return toc

def write_table(table):

    elements = []

    for dis_name, drug_data in table.items():

        setattr(dis_title, 'dis_title', dis_name.capitalize())

        # process here

       

    return elements

doc = MyDocTemplate("output1.pdf")

out1 = write_table(table1)

out1_toc= doc.build_toc()

otherdoc= MyDocTemplate("output2.pdf")

out2 = write_table(table2)

out2_toc= otherdoc.build_toc()

You need to create more than one TOC. One should be a derived class with a different notify value ie override the notify method and use say 'TOCEntry2' as the kind check. Then your afterFlowable can separately notify with different kind strings.
