[Addon] PDF Datasheet

[♥kymation]

When posting code into this forum, use the Code button on the editor (Third from the left in the top row; the one with the green bars.) This prevents the loss of formatting and changing of line numbers. Since the lines are messed up, I had to guess at the right place in the code, so this may not work.

 

Find this code:

if ($information_tree[$information['information_id']]['parent_id'] != '0') {

 

and insert this line just before it:

$child_information = array();

Hi Jim,

 

Thank you to explain how to post the code properly. Never use it before. Good to learn a new thing.

 

 

 

I repost it again. Hopefully I do it right!

That's much easier to read. The code that I posted should work. Did you try it?

 

Regards

Jim

[ce7]

Hi Jim,

 

I repost the information.php code with your instruction (green button).

 

Could you please help me again with it?

 

I put the code you mentioned

 

$child_information = array();

 

and the error message I got is

 

Notice: Undefined variable: child_information in /catalog/includes/functions/information.php on line 49

TCPDF ERROR: Wrong page number on setPage() function: 0

Edited June 26, 2012 by ce7

[ce7]

line 49 is

 

 $count_child = count($child_information);

 

thank you very much in advance

I got the new code in the wrong place. Stupid forum software messes up the line numbers. Try putting the code I suggested just after this code:

 

   global $sitemapString, $languages_id;
   $information_tree = array();
   $informationString = '';
   $parent_child_selected = '';

 

and remove it from where I originally suggested.

 

Regards

Jim

[ce7]

Hi Jim,

 

I tried to put the code after your new suggestion, this time I get different error:

 

TCPDF ERROR: Wrong page number on setPage() function: 0

 

thank you again for your help.

 

Lyn

[♥kymation]

That's probably a setup error. Do you have the required modules installed with the default sort order?

 

Regards

Jim

[ce7]

Hi Jim,

 

Do you mean set up PDF Datasheet error ? I will have a look my PDF Datasheet and information page unlimited again. And will be back later.

[ce7]

Hi Jim,

 

I had check the installation of your PDF Datasheet and Information Page unlimited again. I think I did it right of every step.

 

And then came back to read your reply again, I realize just now that you mean the module setting / configuration in backend / modules.

 

Actually I haven't touch that at all. I will read again your User's Manual / part 3 Configuration and come back again later.

 

Tars!

Extra Images 9060

File Name 9999

Fonts *REQUIRED* 9002

Header 9001

Image and Price 9025

Initialize *REQUIRED* 9000

thank you very much Jim

The first 6 errors indicate that the Image and Price module was installed twice. Try uninstalling that module. If that doesn't work, you'll have to delete the constants from the configuration database table by hand.

 

The last three are bugs. I'll fix those and put up a new version. For now, just leave that module uninstalled. If you need it, let me know and I'll post a fix. Thanks for letting me know about these bugs.

 

Last of all, there is no reason I can think of for installing all of these modules at once. Please read the User's Manual before doing anything with this Addon.

 

Regards

Jim

Hi Jim,

 

Thanks for the reply.

 

I am a newbie, sometimes I got confused even when I read manual...LOL

 

Thanks again. Will go to try what you just mentioned.

 

Lyn

[ce7]

Hi Jim,

 

Can you please post the fix?

 

Thank you very much for your time and help.

 

Lyn

[♥kymation]

I don't have a fix, and I don't have time to code one. You can fix it yourself, or just not use that module.

 

Regards

Jim

[ce7]

Hi Jim,

 

Thank you very much for your reply.

 

I don't know the php code at all, so I can not fix myself. Looks like I have to uninstall this addon, though I love to have it.

 

Once again, thank you very much for your help and time.

Hi, I don't know if this is the right place for this. I have been figuring most of this out on my own. I want to add a FAQ's page in my information box. I figured out how to edit the information box to add a faq's option to it, but I do not know how to add a faqs.php page into my define languages section so I can edit and have my faqs page viewable to customers. Can anyone help me with this please?

[♥kymation]

This has nothing to do with a PDF Datasheet. Your question has been answered many times; search the forum for the answers.

Jim

hi, I found this error any suggestion or idea????

Dear Jim,

 

I have your wonderful PDFdatseheet contribution installed on two sites and they works like a dream.

Im doing a new site right now and got tons of errors as ususal (mostly fault with double entries in the configuration table).

 

The only thing that isnt working now is the description moudule.

I get the product image but not the description text.

I have looked at the module several times and cant find any error (and the same module is working on other sites).

Do you have any idea where I can start looking to try to get the description text working?

 

(everyting is in UTF8 ;)

[♥kymation]

The description text uses an HTML converter, so check the HTML in the description for errors, or use a product that has no HTML in the description for testing.

 

Regards

Jim

[luigicosta]

still not work not have idea where is the problem.......

Warning: require_once(/ext/tcpdf/config/lang/eng.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /web/htdocs/www.footballshirtstar.com/home/pdf_datasheet.php on line 212

PHP Version: 5.2.17 (Zend: 2.2.0)

Edited July 10, 2012 by luigicosta

[♥kymation]

Your code, as posted above:

 

// Get the PDF language and config files
 require_once( '/ext/tcpdf/config/lang/eng.php' );
 require_once( '/ext/tcpdf/tcpdf.php' );

 

Code from the distribution package:

 

  // Get the PDF language and config files
 require_once( 'ext/tcpdf/config/lang/eng.php' );
 require_once( 'ext/tcpdf/tcpdf.php' );

 

See the difference?

The description text uses an HTML converter, so check the HTML in the description for errors, or use a product that has no HTML in the description for testing.

Its plain text, with no html in the text and the only extra addons in this site is Products Specification, Header Tags SEO and SPPC and none of this addons should conflict with the description fields in PDF datasheet.

I will experiment some more to see if I can find some conflicts anywhere..
