yii2 response formatter not being called - pdf

I'm trying to use robregonm pdfresponseFormatter to create a PDF, problem is, the pdf class is never called as the format reponse type.
'response' => [
'formatters' => [
'html' => [
'class' => 'yii\web\HtmlResponseFormatter',
],
'pdf' => [
'class' => 'robregonm\pdf\PdfResponseFormatter',
'mode' => '',
'format' => 'A4',
'defaultFontSize' => 0,
'defaultFont' => '',
'marginLeft' => 15,
'marginRight' => 15,
'marginTop' => 16,
'marginBottom' => 16,
'marginHeader' => 9,
'marginFooter' => 9,
]
]
],
....
$file = $this->getPdf($report);
....
private function getPdf($report){
Yii::$app->response->format = 'pdf';
Yii::$container->set(Yii::$app->response->formatters['pdf']['class']);
$this->layout = '//attachment';
return $this->render('pdf/actionplan', ['model' => $report]);
}
the $file variable has the HTML text in it from the view

You are asking the wrong question. Of course $file has HTML in it, you are returning HTML from your view.
Yii::$app->response->format = 'pdf';
works when the controller returns a response to the browser.
What you want to ask is why the controller function (I hope this is in a controller) does not return a PDF created from the HTML.
If you just want to save a PDF look how I handle this: https://github.com/Mihai-P/yii2-core/blob/master/components/Controller.php in the actionPdf function. That function returns a file that you can save on the server if you want.

Unfortunately I've not been able to get this extension to work. I did get kartik pdf to work great
I recommend using the kartik extension instead.

Yii 2.0 Select Pre-selected values from Database

I have been trying to fix an issue but to no avail but i am sure i will find a solution here. I am using Kartik 2.0 Select extension to do a multiple select. Fine, all working when inserting into the database but i am unable to retrieve the saved records to be displayed as selected back in the select field.
//I have included the kartik widgets already
use kartik\widgets\Select2;
<label>Desired Specialization(s)</label>
<?= $form->field($spec, 'id')->label(false)->widget(Select2::classname(), [
'data' => $model->getAllSpecializations(),
'options' => ['placeholder' => 'You can choose more than one specialization ...'],
'pluginOptions' => [
'allowClear' => true,
'multiple' => true
],
]);
?>
</div>
Please, your reply will be appreciated. Thanks
I think you need to add the saved values as the initial data? Like so:
'value' => $savedDataArray, // initial value
http://demos.krajee.com/widget-details/select2#usage-tags
After much digging into the code, i found a way on how to display selected database values into a multi-select option using Yii Select2
My Model
public function getCandidateLanguage()
{
$langValues = (new \yii\db\Query())
->select('c.language_id AS id, l.lang_name')
->from('candidate_language c ')
->innerJoin('languages l','c.language_id = l.id')
->where('c.candidate_id='.$this->candidate_id)
->orderBy('c.language_id')
->all();
return \yii\helpers\ArrayHelper::map($langValues,'id','lang_name');
}
My View
use kartik\widgets\Select2;
<?php
//the line below is to fetch the array key of $model->getCandidateLanguage() array
$lang->id = array_keys($model->getCandidateLanguage()); // value to initialize
echo Select2::widget([
'model' => $lang,
'attribute' => 'id',
'data' => $model->getAllLanguages(),
'options' => ['placeholder' => 'Choose multiple languages'],
'pluginOptions' => [
'allowClear' => true,
'multiple' => true,
'tags' => true,
],
]);
?>
Hope it help someone who is facing the same issue.

how to integrate multimodelform with echmultiselect yii?

I am running into a little snag with combining extensions "EchMultiSelect" and "MultiModelForm" of YII framework.
What I'm trying to do is copy a set of form elements one of which elements is an EchMultiSelect widget.
According to tutorial on the jqRelCopy page, I would need to pass a copy of the element (datePicker in their example) to the 'jsAfterNewId' option:
'jsAfterNewId' => JQRelcopy::afterNewIdDatePicker($datePickerConfig),
So, I tried to modify that to:
'jsAfterNewId' => MultiModelForm::afterNewIdMultiSelect($memberFormConfig['elements']),
Where I also added the following to MultiModelForm.php:
public static function afterNewIdMultiSelect($element)
{
$options = isset($element['options']) ? $element['options'] : array();
$jsOptions = CJavaScript::encode($options);
return "if(this.attr('multiple')=='multiple'){this.multiselect(jQuery.extend({$jsOptions}));};";
}
its copied and working properly when i am using Add Person link but what happens if i am adding/cloning three items for example and when i change the third item multiselct option then its reflecting to the first multiselect dropdown only this is same for other as well also when i am adding new items by clicking on the Add Person link then its cloning the same element to the new row item
here is the code for the form configuration variables and multimodel widget call.
//$userList=array of the userIds from users table
$memberFormConfig = array(
'elements'=>array(
'userId'=>array(
'type'=>'ext.EchMultiSelect.EchMultiSelect',
'model' => $User,
'dropDownAttribute' => 'userId',
'data' => $userList,
'dropDownHtmlOptions'=> array(
'style'=>'width:500px;',
),
),
...
...
));
calling the MultiModelForm widget from the same view file
$this->widget('ext.multimodelform.MultiModelForm',array(
'id' => 'id_member', //the unique widget id
'formConfig' => $memberFormConfig, //the form configuration array
'model' => $model, //instance of the form model
'tableView' => true,
'validatedItems' => $validatedMembers,
'data' => Person::model()->findAll('userId=:userId', array(':userId'=>$model->id)),
'addItemText' => 'Add Person',
'showAddItemOnError' => false, //not allow add items when in validation error mode (default = true)
'fieldsetWrapper' => array('tag' => 'div',
'htmlOptions' => array('class' => 'view','style'=>'position:relative;background:#EFEFEF;')
),
'removeLinkWrapper' => array('tag' => 'div',
'htmlOptions' => array('style'=>'position:absolute; top:1em; right:1em;')
),
'jsAfterNewId' => MultiModelForm::afterNewIdMultiSelect($memberFormConfig['elements']),
));
Can someone help me with this please?
Thanks in advance!
After a long searching and googleing i found the solution for this, just replace the function in your MultiModelForm.php:
public static function afterNewIdMultiSelect($element)
{
$options = isset($element['options']) ? $element['options'] : array();
$jsOptions = CJavaScript::encode($options);
return "if ( this.hasClass('test123456') )
{
var mmfComboBoxParent = this.parent();
// cloning autocomplete and select elements (without data and events)
var mmfComboBoxClone = this.clone();
var mmfComboSelectClone = this.prev().clone();
// removing old combobox
mmfComboBoxParent.empty();
// addind new cloden elements ()
mmfComboBoxParent.append(mmfComboSelectClone);
mmfComboBoxParent.append(mmfComboBoxClone);
// re-init autocomplete with default options
mmfComboBoxClone.multiselect(jQuery.extend({$jsOptions}));
}";
}
Thats It....!!
Thanks...!!!

cakephp fat model still undefined variable in the view action

I have created a method in my model that successfully displays the correct data when I pr($variable) to the screen. However without the print I am receiving the 'Notice (8): Undefined variable' message.
The model in question 'industry' has many 'news and events'.
What I'm trying to do in the view for a specific industry is display news that is of two different conditions. One type of news is news.type = highlight(displaying just one highlight story), and the second is a list of active stories.
This is the method in my model.
// industry highlight news
public function getHighlightNews() {
$newsHeadline = $this->News->find('first', array(
'conditions' => array('News.type' => 'highlight','News.active' => 'yes'),
'limit' => 1,
'recursive' => 0,
'fields' => array(
'News.slug',
'News.title',
'News.date',
'News.imgPathThumb',
'News.alt_tag',
'News.id',
'News.caption',
'News.body'
),
));
return $newsHeadline;
}
public function getNewsList() {
$newslist = $this->News->find('all', array(
'conditions' => array('News.active = "Yes"','News.industry_id = 1'),
'limit' => 4,
'recursive' => 0,
'fields' => array(
'News.slug',
'News.title',
'News.date',
'News.industry_id',
'News.imgPathThumb',
'News.alt_tag',
'News.id',
'News.caption',
'News.body'
),
));
return $newslist;
}
And this is what is in my industry controller. I've created similar model methods for the news list and event lists.
public function view($id = null) {
$this->layout='default';
$this->Industry->id = $id;
if (!$this->Industry->exists()) {
throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid industry'));
}
$eventlist = $this->Industry->getEventsList($id);
$newslist = $this->Industry->getNewsList($id);
$highlights = $this->Industry->getHighlightNews($id);
//pr($newslist); die;
$this->set('eventlist', $eventlist, 'newslist', $newslist, 'highlights', $highlights);
}
And this is my view:
<div class="first articles">
<?php foreach ($highlights as $highlight): ?>
<h1><?php echo $highlight['Industry']['title']; ?></h1>
<p><?php echo $highlight['Industry']['body']; ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</p>
</div><!-- /articles -->
the message I get in the view is:
Notice (8): Undefined variable: highlights [APP\View\Industries\view.ctp, line 12]
Warning (2): Invalid argument supplied for foreach() [APP\View\Industries\view.ctp, line 12]
I suspect it's something small I'm overlooking.
Thanks, Paul
Setting variables doesn't work like that. You need to change this:
$this->set('eventlist', $eventlist, 'newslist', $newslist, 'highlights', $highlights);
To this:
$this->set('eventlist', $eventlist);
$this->set('newslist', $newslist);
$this->set('highlights', $highlights);
Or this:
$this->set(compact('eventlist','newslist','highlights'));

Set Upload Folder when using FAL in TCA

Is it possible when using FAL, to set the upload destination folder directly in the TCA column? My configuration looks like this at the moment:
'images_outdoor' => Array (
'exclude' => 1,
'label' => 'Outdoor: ',
'config' => \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Utility\ExtensionManagementUtility::getFileFieldTCAConfig('images_outdoor', Array (
'appearance' => Array (
'createNewRelationLinkTitle' => 'LLL:EXT:cms/locallang_ttc.xlf:images.addFileReference'
),
'minitems' => 1,
'maxitems' => 6,
), $GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['GFX']['imagefile_ext']),
),
I have such columns in different TCAs and want their images to be saved in different folders. So a standard folder setting doesn't work here.
I know this one is old but here is a answer.
There are no supported way for TYPO3 6.2, but in the new TYPO3 7.6 LTS it should be possible to register a hook in your ext_localconf.php file, add this:
$GLOBALS['TYPO3_CONF_VARS']['SC_OPTIONS']['t3lib/class.t3lib_userauthgroup.php']['getDefaultUploadFolder'][] = 'VendorName\ExtensionName\Hooks\BackendUserAuthentication->getDefaultUploadFolder'
Create the file Classes/Hooks/BackendUserAuthentication.php and write something like this:
<?php
namespace VendorName\ExtensionName\Hooks;
classe BackendUserAuthentication {
public function getDefaultUploadFolder(Array $params, \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Authentication\BackendUserAuthentication $backendUserAuthentication) {
// Do what you wants here and return a object of \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\Folder
}
}
The params array will contain this:
$_params = array(
'uploadFolder' => $uploadFolder, // The current \TYPO3\CMS\Core\Resource\Folder object, properly 1:/user_upload/
'pid' => $pid, // Page id
'table' => $table, // The table name
'field' => $field, // The field name
);
Now use the table and field name to change the upload folder - good look :)

Opencart Adding module inside another module

I'm having two modules.
custom footer.
Testimonial.
Now I'm trying to display testimonial module inside custom footer. Like another stackoverflow post I have added
// Display testimonial part
$this->data['testimonial_block'] = $module = $this->getChild('module/testimonial', array(
'limit' => 5,
'image_width' => 80,
'image_height' => 80
));
in "catalog/controller/common/customfooter.php" before $this->render ();
And added <?php echo $testimonial_block; ?> inside customfooter.tpl
After adding this i'm getting this error
Notice: Undefined index: testimonial_title in C:\xampp\htdocs\magichomegym\catalog\controller\module\testimonial.php on line 6
Notice: Undefined index: testimonial_limit in C:\xampp\htdocs\magichomegym\catalog\controller\module\testimonial.php on line 22
Did anyone knows where i'm going wrong?
You need to supply the relevant data in the array
$this->data['testimonial_block'] = $module = $this->getChild('module/testimonial', array(
'limit' => 5,
'image_width' => 80,
'image_height' => 80,
'testimonial_title' => 'Title here',
'testimonial_limit' => 5,
));
Replacing the 5 with the amount of testimonials you want to display and the 'Title here' with whatever you want the title to be
