PDF Dynamic Header

[jmes91]

Hi,

I currently run multiple layouts, with different logos, based upon the user's URL (using Virtual Domains to set Access Levels).

My question is, is there any way of producing a PDF of an article, and including the set logo on the page? As the articles are used on multiple pages, but under different logos.

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, you can set the logo in options, but not dynamically, so this needs to be directly customized (directly for each article) in the php code

I have just done this ... There may be a better way but this has worked for me !

In the Content.php plugin :
round about line 40 - in the onBeforeCreatePDFContent section
add in

Code: Select all

$content->header_logo="";
		$app             = JFactory::getApplication();
		$tparams = $app->getTemplate(true)->params;
		if ($tparams[logoFile])
			{
                             $logo ='<img src="'.$tparams[logoFile].'" alt="" height="40" />';
			}else {$logo = "";}
		$content->header_logo		=  $logo;

You will need to change [logoFile] to whatever it is in your template, the standard protostar uses [logoFile]

and then around line 117 (onBeforeDisplayPDFContent) in the

Code: Select all

 if ($content->header_data != ' ')

section add the following:

Code: Select all

$content->header_data = str_replace('{phocapdflogo}',$content->header_logo,$content->header_data);

this will now allow you to use the {phocapdflogo} tag in the header editor alongside {phocapdftitle} and {phocapdfheader}
