Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] wan_pdf
Wanni, this is working great now, thanks!!!
One little niggle, however: the “class” attribute does not seem to work. I have a CSS class called pdf:
.pdf { padding: 19px 19px 19px 0; height: 16px; width: 16px; background: url(/images/pdf16.gif) no-repeat 100%; }
to display a little pdf icon and it is not working. When I view source, the class tag is not added, so something is not getting parsed right.
Still, great job on this plugin. I have been waiting for this — thank you VERY much!!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] wan_pdf
Nice to hear. I fixed the problem with the class attribute. I just forgot to add it to the link. But this plugin would not be possible without xhtml2pdf , so all the acknowledgements have to got to the french guys.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] wan_pdf
Where do you want to have your excerpt?`Above or below the body?

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] wan_pdf
Hi chess,
no problem, I will do this tomorrow. I think, the best way to do this is to control this via option, so one can decide if you want to include the excerpt and/or the body.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] wan_pdf
Chriloi, I ususally use the excerpt to put in the first paragraph of an article, with the rest of the article in the body, so I would want the excerpt to be before (above) the body. Wanni, including the excerpt as an option would be fantastic, thanks!

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] wan_pdf
It started to work when I commented <code>var $pdfdata;</code> line in the x2fpdf.php file. Otherwise:
<blockquote>Fatal error: Cannot redeclare xhtml2pdf::$pdfdata in /Users/xxx/Sites/xxx/textpattern/lib/xhtml2pdf/classes/x2fpdf.php on line 27</blockquote>
I also tweaked your plugin a bit, so it would store article’s title and keywords (visible in Acrobat’s Document Properties or OSX Preview – Document Info).
<pre>$xpdf->SetSubject($thisarticle[‘title’]);
$xpdf->SetKeywords($thisarticle[‘keywords’]);</pre>
Things get bad when I wanted to print an article with images:
<blockquote><code>tag_error <txp:wan_pdf/> -> Warning: getimagesize(/Users/xxx/Sites/xxx/textpattern/lib/xhtml2pdf/images/77.jpg) [function.getimagesize]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory on line 215</code>
FPDF error: Missing or incorrect image file: /Users/xxx/Sites/xxx/textpattern/lib/xhtml2pdf/images/77.jpg</blockquote>
Still some path problems I suppose. Anyway, big thank you for your work.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] wan_pdf
Woow! Finally! This is just awesome!
I’ve got one suggestion. Controlling the different elements of the article inside the pdf should be made easier by using a form template.
Eg: <code><txp:wan_pdf class=“pdf” form=“pdf_form” /></code> and in the form you can have something like this …
<blockquote>
<code><company logo>
<txp:title />
<txp:excerpt />
<txp:body />
© Copyright 2002–2005 YourCompanyName</code>
</blockquote>
Is this possible to implement?

Hm, I have no idea at the moment, I will look at it.

Great idea, i will implement this in the next version.

My first suggestion: try with absolute paths. I think it is a little bit difficult to alter relative paths to absolute paths, but this is on the todo-list.

When I first thought about this plugin this was my first idea because this would be easily customizable. But I am not that familiar with textpattern so the problem was how to parse an article through a form and save it in a variable. If anyone knows how to do this, I would be very happy and I will try to implement this feature as soon as possible.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] wan_pdf
I can’t get it to work on my local installation (both php4 and 5). I had to comment the same line 27 than ChrisJ. After that, all I get is a link to 1.pdf (title not present in link), and the downloaded file is without name (.pdf). If I open it, it is a blank page with the header. I use TXP 4.03.
Any hint on what it could be? Something in server default port (I don’t use port 80)?
Update: It doesn’t work neither in a live installation. The link point always to 3.pdf, that doesn’t download! Open a blank page in browser…
