Textpattern Support Forum

I still can not make any sense out of this, but I believe that it is a font issue, so in order to have support for the characters that are outside the ascii range , that you have to add the missing glyps in the php font files, needed unfortunately, in order to do so are some utilities, that need to be compiled first and AFAIU yeou need Darwin Ports for this.
(The whole concept used though is not a real UNICODE thing anyway, it’s a mapping story that fakes UNICODESupport,)
Anyway , seems overwhelmingly comples to go to make your own font files and mappings,
I whished, they would be available somewhere for download, but it doesn’t seem like that.

But , wanny, really great plugin works great,

Hi,

Further to last.

Tried with just a text article – opens a pdf with just the first paragraph – the rest of the article is missing.

The image problem remains.

So:

1. whole article does not get to pdf
2. images break it!

Cheers!

Hi Tom (and the others of course),

I just forgot the custom field thing and all that, I have to submit my diploma thesis tomorrow, so I ran out of time the last days. Sorry for that, but I will post the snipplet tomorrow (I’ll promise).

Cheers,

@wmike: I think, you don’t produce valid XHTML, so try to enter debug-mode, take the temporary html-file and put it into the validator .

@renobird: So here is the solution with the custom fields:

Go into the plugin source code and search for

<code>// change image-urls to http://… </code>
<code>$excerpt = str_replace(’<img src=”/textpattern’, ‘<img src=“http://’.$prefs[‘siteurl’], $excerpt);</code>
<code>$body = str_replace(’<img src=”/textpattern’, ‘<img src=“http://’.$prefs[‘siteurl’], $body);</code>

and after that you plug in

<code>$c_field1 = safe_field(‘custom_1’,‘textpattern’,‘id = ‘.$thisarticle[‘thisid’]);</code>

Of course you have to replace “custom_1” with the number of the custom field you want to insert. And I also recommend to change the name of the variable regarding to the custom field.

So we got our custom field, we only have to put it into the template. Some lines below you find

<code>fwrite($file, $xhtml_header.”<h1>”.$title.”</h1>\n”.$excerpt.$body.”</body></html>”);</code>

Change this line to put the content of the custom field where you like. Just a little example: In custom field 1 you store the name of the author manually and you want to put this information below the headline, you have to replace this line with

<code>fwrite($file, $xhtml_header.”<h1>”.$title.”</h1>\n”.”<p>Author: “.$c_field1.”</p>\n”.$excerpt.$body.”</body></html>”);</code>

I hope, this will help you.
