Re: generating pdf report with django-easy-pdf

[James Schneider]

How are you adding the govstaff variable in the get_contexr_data method?
Can you post what you tried? You shouldn't be getting an error like that.
Are you trying to do it as part of the super() call?

As far as alternatives go, ReportLab is pretty popular with Django, to the
point where it is on the official docs:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/howto/outputting-pdf/

Re: generating pdf report with django-easy-pdf

[James Schneider]

Have you validated that there is actual data in the govstaff variable
within your template? Nothing is going to show up if it is an empty
variable or doesn't exist in your template context.

While I'm not familiar with the package you're using, I suspect you need to
add the govstaff variable to your context within the get_context_data()
method in your view class. Otherwise your template has no idea what data
you are trying to display.

generating pdf report with django-easy-pdf

[sum abiut]

Hi,
I am trying to generate pdf reports using django-easy-pdf
 but some how
i am not geting the data.


here is what i get. i only get the header but not the data.  i think i am
missing something from class viewpdfreport that i can't seem to figure
it ou[image:
Inline image 1]

Here is my view.py:

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.conf import settings
from django.views.generic import TemplateView
from eLeave.views import govoffice

from eLeave.models import newleave


from easy_pdf.views import PDFTemplateView

class viewpdfreport(PDFTemplateView):
template_name = "viewpdf.html"

def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
return super(viewpdfreport, self).get_context_data(
pagesize="A4",
title="Test!",
**kwargs
)




here is my viewpdf.html




  First Name
  Last Name
  Position
  Department
  Month 
  Year
  Total leave consume
   Current Leave Entitlement
   Holidays
   Weekend
Leave outstanding Balance
   Leave current Balance



{%for a in govstaff%}


{{a.first_name}}
  {{a.last_name}}
  {{a.position}}
  {{a.department}}
  {{a.month}}
  {{a.year}}
  {{a.total_working_days}}
  {{a.leave_entitlement}}
  {{a.holiday}}
  {{a.weekend}}
  {{a.leave_outstanding_balance}}
  {{a.leave_current_balance}}



  
{%endfor%}



this function is a view from a different app(view.py)
def govoffice(request):
govstaff=newleave.objects.filter(department="GOV",department_head_authorization="Approved")
return render(request,'viewpdf.html', locals())
