ok, i try
lets start with:
I use
MODx 1.0.3
my PDF document is 441
I have chosen to put the
[!tcpd!] in blank template - the PDF document (441) is empty.
I
don’t use the "contentType" Plugin any more, because Evolution has the option to select contentType PDF on each Document.
The Snippet is:
<?php
//collect here your output in $output, use $modx->runsnippet or what else for generating your html-output.
$docid = $_REQUEST['docid'];
$table = $modx->getFullTableName("site_content");
$pagetitle = $modx->db->getValue( $modx->db->select("longtitle", $table, 'id='.$docid,"",""));
$longtitle = $modx->db->getValue( $modx->db->select("longtitle", $table, 'id='.$docid,"",""));
$introtext = $modx->db->getValue( $modx->db->select("introtext", $table, 'id='.$docid,"",""));
$content = $modx->db->getValue( $modx->db->select("content", $table, 'id='.$docid,"",""));
$output = '<h1>'.$pagetitle.'</h1><h2>'.$longtitle.'</h2>'.$content;
$basePath = $modx->config['base_path'];
$pluginpath = $basePath.'assets/classes/tcpdf/';
if ($_GET['contentType']=='pdf'){
include $pluginpath.'examples/myexample.php';
}
else{
return $output;
}
?> is:

- creating PDFs if $output gets plain text (changed the snippets to get this happen)
- without correct docid it creates an empty PDF
this don’t work:
- getting content, title and so on in the PDF
this would be perfect:
- don’t need an extra template and document and run the hole thing by placing an chunk in a document.
- have a snippet with individual text (should be easily made with $text=`download as PDF` or something - i think I will try this after everything works)
a plugin to auto-create new PDFs of a document after saving a document so that they will be saved in a folder and won’t be create each time someone would like ti download
thank you for help
