PDF title

[Paul Bolger]

Is there any way of getting Siwapp to write a custom title for
generated PDF's? Mine all come out as "invoice-(number).pdf" which
isn't that convenient.

[José de Zárate]

this is the function where pdf names are created.

it's in apps/siwapp/modules/print/actions/actions.class.php, on line 102

  /**

   * PDF output

   * @param array ids - Object IDs as request parameter

   */

  public function executePdf(sfWebRequest $request)

  {

    $model = $request->getParameter('model');

    switch($n = count($ids = (array) $this->getRequestParameter('ids', array())))

    {

      case 0:

        $this->forward404();

        break;

      case 1:

        $name = $model."-{$ids[0]}";

        break;

      default:

        $name = "$n-".$model."s";

        break;

    }

    try

    {

      $this->render($model, true)->stream("$name.pdf");

      return sfView::NONE;

    }

    catch(LogicException $le)

    {

      throw $le;

      //return $this->renderText($this->templateNotFoundMsg);

    }

    catch(TemplateNotFoundException $tnfe)

    {

      return $this->renderText($this->templateNotFoundMsg);

    }

  }

you can change the value of the "$name" variable just before the call to $this->render($model, true)->stream("$name.pdf");

Hey JoeZ,

Maybe you can help out with something.

Im trying to achieve the PDF's number the same as the invoice's
For example: the Pre-fix for the invoice numbering is DVG-2012-XXXXX (x= for automatic numbering from siwapp)

Is it possible to get the PDF's numbers the same as the invoice numbers? like this: DVG-2012-xxxxx

I dont know where to look, to chance the numbering.

Thx a lot in advance.

With kind regards,

Fons

Well, this is a hack I haven't had the chance to test. Just figured it out now that you asked for it. Please MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR apps/siwapp/modules/print/actions/actions.class.php first

open your apps/siwapp/modules/print/actions/actions.class.php and locate the function "executePdf" on Line 73:

  /**

   * PDF output

   * @param array ids - Object IDs as request parameter

   */

  public function executePdf(sfWebRequest $request)

  {

    $model = $request->getParameter('model');

    switch($n = count($ids = (array) $this->getRequestParameter('ids', array())))

    {

      case 0:

        $this->forward404();

        break;

      case 1:

        $name = $model."-{$ids[0]}";

        break;

      default:

        $name = "$n-".$model."s";

        break;

    }

    try

    {

      $this->render($model, true)->stream("$name.pdf");

      return sfView::NONE;

    }

    catch(LogicException $le)

    {

      throw $le;

      //return $this->renderText($this->templateNotFoundMsg);

    }

    catch(TemplateNotFoundException $tnfe)

    {

      return $this->renderText($this->templateNotFoundMsg);

    }

  }

the line in red is the line that actually renders the pdf. As you can see, there is  a $name variable which is the one that sets the filename. We're going to change that $name variable before it's used in this line. In order to do that, we need to know if we're going to render one or several invoices, and we're going to need the method:

$this->getInvoiceDataFromRequest($request)

that method fetchs all the invoice data. 

just before the red line, there is a switch, in which tells us if we're going to render one or multiple invoices.

 switch($n = count($ids = (array) $this->getRequestParameter('ids', array())))

    {

      case 0:

        $this->forward404();

        break;

      case 1:

        $name = $model."-{$ids[0]}";

        break;

      default:

        $name = "$n-".$model."s";

        break;

    }

as you can see, the "case 1" statement sets the name for the case there's only one invoice, and the "default" statement sets the name for the case when there are several invoices. That is a good place to put our hack:

$invoice_data = $this->getInvoiceDataFromRequest($request); 

switch($n = count($ids = (array) $this->getRequestParameter('ids', array())))

    {

      case 0:

        $this->forward404();

        break;

      case 1:        // only one invoice

        $invoice = $invoice_data[0];

        $name = $invoice;

        //$name = $model."-{$ids[0]}";

        break;

      default:

        $name = "$n-".$model."s";

        break;

    }

if you get it working please post it here so other users can benefit too.

again, I've not tested it, hope it works.

Hello José & SIWAPP users,

This trick works. *YAAAAYYY
Here's the bubble burster: at least for me.
Be advised : MAKE BACKUP FIRST! (caps is intentional)

Ok works nice for downloading, but where do I change/hack some to have the title on the pdf when sending the pdf by email? 

Thanks for the help :) 

J!

[José de Zárate]

go to lib/EmailMessages.php, find this piece of code, and apply the red modifications

   try

    {

      $body = $printer->render($data);

      $pdf = $printer->renderPdf($data)->output();

      $attachment = new Swift_Attachment(

                            $pdf,

                           // $model.'-'.$invoice->getId().'.pdf',

                            $invoice,

                            'application/pdf'

                            );

      $this

        ->setSubject(PropertyTable::get('company_name').' ['.$model.': '.$invoice.']')

        ->setBody($printer->render($data), 'text/html')

        ->attach($attachment);

      $this->setReadyState(true);

      

    }

warning. I'm guessing the "$invoice" object will automatically output its string representation (which is the series and the number of the invoice) when called as a string. In case it doesn't work, you can put there whatever var you want.

uh, oh.

[jorisx]

Thanx for the quick reply! 

Works Great ! just had to add the .'.pdf',

//$model.'-'.$invoice->getId().'.pdf',

$invoice.'.pdf',

:-) 

uh, oh.

[jorisx]

Ah just got it, 

to change the pdf names a need to change them on 2 places (one for the mail out to customer and one for the direct download via siwapp)

Change name of pdf for customer email here; 

/siwapp_files/lib/EmailMessages.php

changed line 98

      $attachment = new Swift_Attachment(

                            $pdf,

                            //$model.'-'.$invoice->getId().'.pdf',

                            //$invoice.'.pdf',  // just the number

                            $invoice.'-'.$invoice['customer_name'].'.pdf',

                            'application/pdf'

                            );

Change name of pdf in donwload via siwapp, here: 

/siwapp_files/apps/siwapp/modules/print/actions/actions.class.php

changed line 100

      case 1: // only one invoice

        $invoice = $invoice_data[0];

        $name = $invoice.'-'.$invoice['customer_name'];

Love the customization  :)

Hello again :)

I stumbled upon this topic, but it does not really help me out.

Maybe someone can help me out? 
I filled in the label in 'invoicing series" also the initial value

so my invoice is called right now "mycompany-180" It looks good on the invoice. However I want this to be identical to my filename.
How to fix this please? The methods presented above does not work for me :/

Thanks kindly

Hi Nitras,

I changed the following 2 files so that the file name is :  [invoicenumber]-[clientname].pdf

(this only works for one invoice:)

/siwapp_files/lib/EmailMessages.php

/siwapp_files/apps/siwapp/modules/print/actions/actions.class.php

 

/siwapp_files/lib/EmailMessages.php

Change in line 82, change:      

     $name = $model."-{$ids[0]}";

to:

     $invoice = $invoice_data[0];

     $name = $invoice.'-'.$invoice['customer_name'];

     //$name = $model."-{$ids[0]}";

/siwapp_files/apps/siwapp/modules/print/actions/actions.class.php

Change from line 75

  public function executePdf(sfWebRequest $request)

      default:

        $name = "$n-".$model."s";

        break;

    }

*/

    $model = $request->getParameter('model');

    $invoice_data = $this->getInvoiceDataFromRequest($request); 

    switch($n = count($ids = (array) $this->getRequestParameter('ids', array())))

    {

      case 0:

        $this->forward404();
