About print function [SOLVED]

[nofc_fro]

I have two questions:

1. After filtering a list, I would like to print the result, adding also the company logo in the header of the sheet, is it possible?

2. I select a record and I want to print a custom text using the 'name' field of the record. Eg.: Buy this album {record name}. How can I do?

1 - don't think this is possible with the "Print" button. You could probably do it with a PDF, using a custom template.

2 - what do you mean by "print a custom text"? Are you talking about the Print button?

Yes, I wanted to create a PDF to print how can I create a PDF with customized text? Example: I have a record with the fields: ID, name, address, phone. I select this record and I want to create a PDF with the logo of my company, a text, and the address of the record. Eg. Hello, we go to you tomorrow at $address

PDF (in forms/details and list view) is using its own templates.
So you can create custom PDF templates (which is recommended anyway).

For custom templates

• Form and Details Templates
• List templates

For PDF output

• PDF output

Hi,
I have this error: COM_FABRIK_NOTICE_DOMPDF_NOT_FOUND: COM_FABRIK_NOTICE_DOMPDF_NOT_FOUND
I followed this guide: https://github.com/Fabrik/fabrik/commit/66bd20a6e51ce6612820b918e918dd19736ded99
and I added a string to the Worker.php file but it doesn't work

Did you install the Fabrik library?

 

[nofc_fro]

Ok, I installed it!
however I have this situation:
in the list where I also added the viz map, I have this error: 404 "View not found [name, type, prefix]: googlemap, pdf, fabrikView",
in the list where I do not have the map, a PDF is created that has only a few gray lines

 

[nofc_fro]

I would simply like a simple print of the list with some fields (which I would like to decide), a header for the logo and a footer. I do not care to print the map or anything else.

The guide refers to version 3.1 and now we are at version 3.8. Reading the various forums there is a lot of confusion about this function. Is it possible to have an updated and simple guide? I believe it is useful to know how to generate a pdf that prints the filtered list.
E.g.
I have a simple list with ID, name, phone. What is the procedure for printing this list?

 

[troester]

Which guide refers to 3.1?

Steps:
Install the Fabrik library
In list settings "Layout" set "PDF icon" = show
Select one of the list's layouts as PDF template (for creating a custom PDF template see the links in post #4), select papersize and orientation
Filter your list, click PDF

 

[nofc_fro]

ok, I read your guides and I did all these steps, but the result is a white page with gray lines. I installed fabrik on different versions of joomla but the result is the same

PS. is there a function to print?

 

[troester]

Can you fill out http://fabrikar.com/you/my-sites/ (with a backend and a frontend access) and include the link to your list?

 

[nofc_fro]

Ok thanks
I made a new installation of Joomla with the fabrik library, now no error is generated, however the pdf that is generated has errors on the css because the rows are overlaid. Instead if my list has a viz map, the PDF is not generated and I have an error. However I entered the site in the link you kindly gave me.

 

[troester]

It was this file
http://fabrikar.com/forums/index.php?threads/solved-dompdf-multiple-issues.48657/#post-254081

I renamed it, the PDF (list without viz) is working now.

 

[nofc_fro]

Thank you! What did you do exactly so I can repeat it for the other websites

 

[troester]

From the other thread

... although all you have to do to get it working again is just delete that file:

libraries/fabrik/vendor/dompdf/dompdf/lib/fonts/dompdf_font_family_cache.php

... and just leave dompdf_font_family_cache.dist.php, which is the out-of-box fonts shipped with DOMPDF.

I deleted (not really, only renamed) this file.

 

[nofc_fro]

It's strange, although this file has been deleted/renamed, I still have the same error ^^ '
In the "tester-list" list when I click on PDF, it gives me this error
View attachment 17434 View attachment 17435
Now the printing (without map) is corrected!

 

[troester]

This file was the reason for the row overlay.
The map is an other error...

 

[nofc_fro]

Ah okay, how can I solve this last error?
In the PDF I would like the list without the map, while in the list I need the map.
Is it possible to "hide" the code of the map when creating the PDF?

 

[troester]

In your PDF template default.php remove
echo $this->table->intro;
