Phoca Forum

Hi

I use some calendar modul/components. I would like to add the pdf icon to them to be able to print or save the events as pdf. Can you help me what program code has to be added. //i have not been found any answer for my question in the forum//

I was just thinking in this one to the right place, but most of times the calendar page was showing nothing (white page) afetwards:
include_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.'/components/com_phocapdf/helpers/phocapdf.php');
$phocaPDF = PhocaPDFHelper::getPhocaPDFContentIcon($displayData['item'], $displayData['params']);
echo $phocaPDF;

I'm not a big guru in the PHP, so I'm sure i made something wrong.

Hi, but this only solve the part of displaying PDF but you need some plugin which will convert the content of the calendar to PDF data

Hi

Honestly i do not know how your plugin works. I just wondering how i can solve this issue shortly. I was thinking it is possible to save this content somehow. What do you think. This is the ICagenda and the event list what i want to export to pdf. Your pdf module (among your other fantastic solutions) is the best pdf module.

Hi, the problem is, you need a plugin for converting something from html to PDF and for now Phoca PDF only includes 3 plugins:

- for content (mostly used)
- for VirtueMart Invoices (obsolete solution, not more supported)
- and for Phoca Restaurant Menu items.

So if you want to make PDF form other part of Joomla! like some external extension, a plugin needs to be written for this (and this requires the knowledge of Joomla!, Phoca PDF, the external component and a lot of time as converting dynamic HTML to static PDF is really not easy process )
