Below is my code for the class that I wish to generate the pdf from.
class RaaOrders Extends ReportsModule {
public static $allowed_actions = array (
'RaaOrdersPending'
'pdf'
);
public static $url_handlers = array (
'pending' => 'RaaOrdersPending',
'mypdf' => 'pdf'
);
public function RaaOrdersPending(SS_HTTPRequest $request) {
$dummy_data = 'Dummy Data';
return array (
'Dummy' => $dummy_data
);
}
public function pdf(){
// create new PDF document
$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);
// set document information
$pdf->SetCreator(PDF_CREATOR);
$pdf->SetAuthor('Nicola Asuni');
$pdf->SetTitle('TCPDF Example 001');
$pdf->SetSubject('TCPDF Tutorial');
$pdf->SetKeywords('TCPDF, PDF, example, test, guide');
// set default header data
$pdf->SetHeaderData(PDF_HEADER_LOGO, PDF_HEADER_LOGO_WIDTH, PDF_HEADER_TITLE.' 001', PDF_HEADER_STRING, array(0,64,255), array(0,64,128));
$pdf->setFooterData(array(0,64,0), array(0,64,128));
// set header and footer fonts
$pdf->setHeaderFont(Array(PDF_FONT_NAME_MAIN, '', PDF_FONT_SIZE_MAIN));
$pdf->setFooterFont(Array(PDF_FONT_NAME_DATA, '', PDF_FONT_SIZE_DATA));
// set default monospaced font
$pdf->SetDefaultMonospacedFont(PDF_FONT_MONOSPACED);
// set margins
$pdf->SetMargins(PDF_MARGIN_LEFT, PDF_MARGIN_TOP, PDF_MARGIN_RIGHT);
$pdf->SetHeaderMargin(PDF_MARGIN_HEADER);
$pdf->SetFooterMargin(PDF_MARGIN_FOOTER);
// set auto page breaks
$pdf->SetAutoPageBreak(TRUE, PDF_MARGIN_BOTTOM);
// set image scale factor
$pdf->setImageScale(PDF_IMAGE_SCALE_RATIO);
// set some language-dependent strings (optional)
if (@file_exists(dirname(__FILE__).'/lang/eng.php')) {
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/lang/eng.php');
$pdf->setLanguageArray($l);
}
// ---------------------------------------------------------
// set default font subsetting mode
$pdf->setFontSubsetting(true);
// Set font
// dejavusans is a UTF-8 Unicode font, if you only need to
// print standard ASCII chars, you can use core fonts like
// helvetica or times to reduce file size.
$pdf->SetFont('dejavusans', '', 14, '', true);
// Add a page
// This method has several options, check the source code documentation for more information.
$pdf->AddPage();
// set text shadow effect
$pdf->setTextShadow(array('enabled'=>true, 'depth_w'=>0.2, 'depth_h'=>0.2, 'color'=>array(196,196,196), 'opacity'=>1, 'blend_mode'=>'Normal'));
// Print a text
$html = '<span style="background-color:yellow;color:blue;"> PAGE 1 </span>
<p stroke="0.2" fill="true" strokecolor="yellow" color="blue" style="font-family:helvetica;font-weight:bold;font-size:26pt;">You can set a full page background.</p>';
$pdf->writeHTML($html, true, false, true, false, '');
// Close and output PDF document
// This method has several options, check the source code documentation for more information.
$pdf->Output('example_001.pdf', 'I');
}
}
Then I'm putting the link:
<a href="raa_orders/mypdf{$PDFLink}"> GET PDF </a>
on the template RaaOrders_RaaOrdersPending.ss
When I clickthe link, it just downloads an html file with the error: Fatal error: Class 'TCPDF' not found in C:\xampp\htdocs\kreports\reports\code\RaaOrders.php on line 275
line 275 is where I have
$pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false);
in my code
I'm thinking the autoloader is not picking up the tcpdf.php class from the module but I don't know how to solve that. Any help or a push to the right direction will be greatly appreciated. I'm quite green to Silverstripe.
