WP Get footer
WP Get footer ( targetObj ) | (wpDoc ; sectionIndex {; sectionSubType} ) -> Function result
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| targetObj | Object | → | 4D Write Pro range or section/sub-section element |
| wpDoc | Object | → | 4D Write Pro document |
| sectionIndex | Longint | → | Section index |

| Function result | Object | ← | 4D Write Pro footer |
Description
The WP Get footer command returns the footer associated to the targetObj range or to the specified sectionIndex of the wpDoc document. If no footer is found with regards to the parameter(s), the command returns Null.
- With the first syntax (using the targetObj parameter), the command returns the footer of the first page in the range or the section/sub-section passed in parameter. If a sub-section is active on the page, the command returns the footer of the active sub-section, so it always returns the visible footer.
- With the second syntax (using the wpDoc parameter), the command returns the footer of the specified sectionIndex section (sectionIndex value must be >=1).
If the subSectionType parameter is passed, the command returns the footer associated to the specified sub-section type. You can pass one of the following constants in the subSectionType parameter:
| Constant | Type | Value |
| ------------- | ------- | ----- |
| wk first page | Longint | 1 |
| wk left page | Longint | 2 |
| wk right page | Longint | 3 |
If the subSectionType is not specified, the main section footer will be returned. In this case, if a sub-section is active, the main section footer object is undefined (the main section footer is available only if there is no active wk first page or wk left page sub-section).
Example
You want to copy the footer of the first page of a 4D Write Pro document to the footer of all pages of another 4D Write Pro document:
var $footerSource;$rangeSource;$tempoc;$footerTarget;$rangeTarget : Object
$footerSource:=WP Get footer([TEMPLATES]WPtemplate;1;wk first page) //get the first page footer of section 1
$rangeSource:=WP Text range($footerSource;wk start text;wk end text)
$tempoc:=WP New($rangeSource)
$footerTarget:=WP Get footer([Docs]MyWPDoc;1) //all pages of section 1
$rangeTarget:=WP Text range($footerTarget;wk start text;wk end text)
WP INSERT DOCUMENT($rangeTarget;$tempoc;wk replace)
