TOTAL FPDF newbie here, so I apologize if it's a dumb question, but here goes ...
I'm writing a script to generate a report which I KNOW will fill more than one page. As I write data to the page, how will I know that the page is full, so that I can call AddPage() to go to the next page?
TIA!!!

Hey I am not sure this is a question for this site but I am making wiki pages in a share point for my job but I notice they all just accumulate with no table of contents. Im wondering is there a way to make a table of contents page that allows the user to see all of the wiki pages made and allows them to click on the link to the page.
Thanks in advance!
do you mean that you want to see all the pages?
simply go to the all pages view, like this: http://sitename/LibraryName/Forms/AllPages.aspx
I am using import.io and trying to create a crawler based on this page:
http://www.flashscore.com/match/IeHoEHvJ/#match-statistics;0
After selecting single rows (one row per page), and adding some columns and training them, I want to click on the button "I've got what I need!" in order to proceed and train another similar page. But it is not possible to click on the button, it is as if the program is waiting for me to train more even though it is not necessary (I have successfully completed this procedure on other website, but for some reason this page does not work).
Any idea why this does not work?
Please see the following screenshot of import.io when I am trying to click the button without success:

UPDATE: Got a reply from the import.io facebook group. Building a Crawler might not work due to robots.txt. But building an Extractor seems to work, only have to find an easy way to collect all the links to use in the extractor.
the website you're trying to scrape is probably protected by a robots.txt file so as the Facebook group told you I suggest you to try with Extractor.
The solution is a bit tricky but it should work.
Create an Extractor to grab the data you need from the page you want data from. I did it and it worked.
Create an Extractor to get the links: (Mine is here: 5ef25069-f0cc-4ac7-9184-b2a035277403) for this page
Then download the dataset as CSV, open it with a spreadsheet processor and add this string of text at the end of the link: #match-statistics;0
Finally copy the list of links and go back to import.io. Choose the feature Bulk Extract on the first API and paste the list of URLs.
It should work ;)
I'm new to Sitefinity. So far I see some built in widgets to add image and text and let other edit them later on. However, I want to build a block which contains an image, a short description and when click that block will jump to an internal page. I'm stuck at figuring out how to make the internal URL editable.
Anybody has experience about this?
Thank you
Situation: I needed to add form with POST method to CMS page. I created custom hook and a module displaying the form successfully. Then I need to react to user input errors eg. when user doesn't enter email address I need to detect it, display the whole page again together with the form and with "errors" in user input clearly stated.
Problem: The problem is to display the WHOLE page again with connected information (eg. about errors etc.). In the module PHP file when I add this kind of code,
return $this->display(__FILE__, 'modulename.tpl');
it (naturally) displays ONLY the form, not the whole CMS page with the form.
In case of this code,
Tools::redirectLink('cms.php?id_cms=7');
I can't get to transfer any information by GET neither POST method.
$_POST['test'] = 1;
Tools::redirectLink('cms.php?id_cms=7&test');
I tried to assign to smarty variables too
$smarty->assign('test', '1');
(I need to use it in .tpl file where the form itself is created) but no way to get it work.
{if isset($test)}...,
{if isset($smarty.post.test)}...,
{if isset($_POST['test'])}... {* neither of these conditionals end up as true *}
Even assigning a GET parameter to url has no impact, because there is link rewriting to some kind of friendly url I guess, no matter I included other argument or not. ([SHOPNAME]/cms.php?id_cms=7&test -> [SHOPNAME]/content/7-cmspage-name)
My question is: is there a way to "redirect" or "reload" current page (or possibly any page generally) in prestashop together with my own data included?
I kind of explained the whole case so I'm open to hear a better overall solution than my (maybe I'm thinking about the case in a wrong way at all). This would be other possible answer.
The simplest method would be to use javascript to validate the form - you can use jQuery to highlight the fields that are in error; providing visual feedback on how the submission failed. In effect you don't allow the user to submit the form (and thus leave the page) until you're happy that the action will succeed. I assume that you will then redirect to another page once a successful submission has been received.
There's lots of articles and how-tos available for using javascript, and indeed jQuery for form validation. If you want to keep the site lean and mean, then you can provide an override for the CMS controller and only enqueue the script for the specific page(s) you want to use form validation on.
If the validation is complex, then you might be best using AJAX and just reloading the form section of your page via a call to your module. Hooks aren't great for this kind of thing, so you might want to consider using an alternative mnethod to inject your code onto the cms page. I've written a few articles on this alternative approach which can be found on my prestashop blog
Is it possible to make a program that open a page (as if a bookmark file were opened by IE), and based on its content generate a feedback, that should be fedback in a textbox on said page by pressing a button on said page?
I need this program to execute on a set time schedule to feed some data to a web server based on time dependent web page data.
Yes, that is possible. It is generally called screen scraping. You basically retrieve the web page in question via a HTTP request, parse/analyze the page you got, then send back the data that should go into the textbox (again a HTTP request).
There are libraries to do that. Here is an article describing an example in Perl:
