Re: CakePdf - How To Start?
Did anyone have any look here - trying to attached a PDF to a email but failing - do you have to actually create the file on the server or can you do something like the readme suggests ($pdf = $CakePdf-output();)??

I changed CakePlugin::load('CakePdf', array('bootstrap' = true, 'routes'

the error is gone however I still am not getting a PDF.
I forgot to mention I have created the layout in
/app/View/Layout/pdf/default.ctp and am trying to go to
/reports/snapshots.pdf where I get this error now:
*Error: * The action *snapshots.pdf* is not defined in controller *
ReportsController*
I think I am still missing the configuration, what is a sample of this so I
can get it setup properly.

Re: CakePdf - How To Start?
You need increase PHP memory limit for this method.
You can get the current memory limit with ini_get() function, for example:
print_r(ini_get('memory_limit'));
After you can increment the memory_limit value with ini_set() function, for
example:
ini_set('memory_limit', '128M');
The second parameter must be greater than that obtained with the function
ini_get().

Re: CakePdf - How To Start?
cant edit my previous post, so here is another one:
why do you have /pdf/ in your url?
just browse to the exact same url and add .pdf extension, thats it
so http://localhost/forms/view/1.pdf
create app/View/Forms/pdf/view.ctp
create app/Layouts/pdf/default.ctp

Re: CakePdf - How To Start?
Sorry I meant /pdf/forms/view/1/ or /pdf/forms/view/1.pdf as paths. The
same error applies as above.
Bootstrap looks like this now: (I've tried DomPdf and Tcpdf, same error on
both)
CakePlugin::load('CakePdf', array('bootstrap' = true, 'routes' = true));
Configure::write('Pdf',
array(
'engine' = 'DomPdf'
)); *

Re: CakePdf - How To Start?
This is what I have done so far:
1. CakePdf is in my Plugin folder.
2. bootstrap.php has at the bottom:
/* LOAD CakePdf PLUGIN */
CakePlugin::load('CakePdf', array('bootstrap' = true, 'routes' = true));
Configure::write('Pdf',
array(
'prefix' = 'pdf',
'engine' = 'tcpdf'
));
3. FormsController.php has this function
public function pdf_view($id = null)
{
$this-Form-id = $id;
if (!$this-Form-exists()) {
throw new NotFoundException(__('Invalid form'));
}
$this-set('form', $this-Form-read(null, $id));
}
4. I have setup a template file at: /app/View/Layouts/pdf/default.ctp
5. I have setup the view file at: /app/View/Forms/pdf/view.ctp
I am getting this error (please note I also tried the view.ctp as
pdf_view.ctp in the /app/View/Forms/ folder but it just rendered the html
to the page without the error, still no pdf)
*Error: * The view for *FormsController::**pdf_view()* was not found.
*Error: * Confirm you have created the file:
/home/beanclai/public_html/app/View/Forms/pdf_view.ctp
Any idea where I am going wrong? Thanks
