Footer in

Post by nigelj »

The first item is also posted on the Joomla forum.
  • I have an issue because the template I'm using doesn't display icons, so the PDF icon doesn't show up. I have a Print link, but the URL has the &print=1 parameter, but I need it to have &format=pdf. So the question is, can someone guide me with what I need to do to have the print link include the parameter &format=pdf (I'm using Joomla 3.9.20)?
  • Is it possible to include the current date and time in the footer? I can't see a {} tag mentioned on the Phoca documentation site to do this
  • I have the pagination tag in the footer right-aligned, but in the output the text is about 2/3 across the page, not at the right margin. Is this a bug?
Many thanks. N

Hi,

1) see implementation https://www.phoca.cz/documents/47-phoca ... er-version

2) no, there is no variable for date for now.

3) pagination is fully managed by TCPDF class so unfortunately there is no option to change the alignment :-(

Thanks Jan.

Re 1 - I've followed the instructions, but don't see a PDF icon (as this template doesn't display icons, only text links). Should I see a PDF link as I don't see icons?

There's also the Print link, but this is the standard Joomla link to print an article which doesn't call on Phoca PDF - I don't know which code in which file controls that link, or how to change it to direct it to Phoca PDF - maybe com_content/article/default.php, but how to edit it?

Hi,

if the system plugin does not work, then unfortunately the only one way is to directly customize the content file and add the class directly :-(

Just see the documentation, you can see the listed files there:

https://www.phoca.cz/documentation/cate ... -component - see the first 3 articles, there is also a guide for core customization of article files.
