Post by luciani »

Hi,

I don't knwo why when I click on the pdf button the generated content is HTML instead of PDF.
I try with simple article and with the same result.

Any idea ?
(joomla 3.9.3, phoca system 3.0.6, content 3.0.6, phoca pdf 3.0.8)

Thanks for your help

Hi, what happen when you disable SEF? Which format does the URL have?

Hi Jan,

Thanks, I disabled "Add a suffix to the URL" to have now PDF (empty PDF but PDF).

Thanks again & regards

So.
When I disabled "Add a suffix to the URL" the URL to export the PDF file contains "&format=pdf"
When I activated "Add a suffix to the URL" the URL doesn't contains "&format=pdf" and the export is in HTML

So I changed the template to add this PHP instruction :
$phocaPDF = str_replace("tmpl=component", "tmpl=component&format=pdf", $phocaPDF);
It works but that does not seem to me satisfactory.
Is there a better way to do this ???
Thanks !

Hi, hard to say, I don't know the function of the suffixes, what is the reason to have them, but I think to run the PDF function with suffixes, the core Joomla! must be customized, so instead of xxx.html it ads xxx.pdf. Because it just seems that the suffix function tries to remove all possible values to get only the .html suffix :idea:
