[plugin] [ORPHAN] wan_pdf
Notice: This thread is archived, this plugin is no longer available but a mirror exists here.
**********************************************************
The plugin wan_pdf generates PDF-versions of your articles. The output is a link to the PDF-file. The PDFs are not generated every time the article is called, but only when the title or the body has changed.
Attention: If you update from a version <= 0.2 please download xhtml2pdf.zip once again and delete all PDFs due to changes in the name scheme.
Current version: 0.3 (2006-02-22)
Changelog
Version 0.3 (2006-02-22)
- Feature: Use an image for linking to the PDF instead of text
- Feature: Debug switch

THis makes a title and link for the file but the status shows as “missing” on the list.
I’m using v4.03 Rev.1228.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] wan_pdf
Wow amazing and great job… I was waiting for this one for such a long time…
I’ve searched for an example around and did not find any… Would it be possible to add an example link so we could just check how good this one is…
Thanks !

@hablablow:
If you follow the link on textpattern.org, you will find an example. But I will add a link at textpattern.org, thaks for this suggestion.
@RenJonsin: I wrote you an email. You could try to set production status to “debug” and post if there are any error messages or warnings.

Thank you for the link.
Did you try to add one or many images to it ?

Currently I’m using r1188 I will update this evening and check if I can reproduce and fix the error. Thanks for testing and response.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] wan_pdf
Error is produced due to wrong usage of path names in your plugin.
Please use common txp global vars to access tmp and files directory.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] wan_pdf
Found another error:
When generating a pdf from utf-8 charset, some chararcters may possible be messed up. (That’s for example the case when using german umlaute)
To ensure that everything goes right, replace
<code>
fwrite($file, $xhtml_header.”<h1>”.$thisarticle[‘title’].”</h1>\n”.$thisarticle[‘body’].”</body></html>”);
with
fwrite($file, utf8_decode($xhtml_header.”<h1>”.$thisarticle[‘title’].”</h1>\n”.$thisarticle[‘body’].”</body></html>”));
and
define(‘X_NAME’, $sitename); define(‘X_TITLE’, html_entity_decode($thisarticle[‘title’]));with
define(‘X_NAME’, utf8_decode($sitename)); define(‘X_TITLE’, html_entity_decode(utf8_decode($thisarticle[‘title’])));</code>
<br />
<br /><h1>And finally: THANK YOU FOR THIS NICE PLUGIN!!!</h1>
