Re: [mezzanine-users] Re: Images in .pdf Invoice

[Eduardo Rivas]

I've also used wkhtmltopdf but with the Django bindings. It's available on
Pypi as django-wkhtmltopdf (that's off the top of my head, you should
check) and provides a class based view and PDF response type.

I'm not sure if this will help you or not, but I developed a replacement 
library for xhtml2pdf (though not a drop-in):

Ok, great explanation. I have a very clear view now how things are working
on Fabric side.

I really appreciated your help.

Thanks alot!

Re: [mezzanine-users] Mezzanine Workflow

Is there any update of approval workflow ?

 I am new to Mezzanine, but have worked with the Plone (a Python based 
 cms) a lot, and have developed several django based sites. I am curious if 
 Mezzanine will work for a new project that I am moving from Plone.

 The project is a US high school online newspaper. We have one unusual 
 requirement that many cms frameworks struggle with. I need a three step 
 workflow process for all content. The typical use case:

 step 1 - a Content Creator (ie anyone with an account on the site that 
 has been approved) creates a piece of content (article, photo, etc.) and 
 submits that piece of content for review.
 step 2 - the content is reviewed by a Reviewer - usually a teacher or 
 staff member. If the article is approved by the Reviewer, it is submitted 
 to the Editors for publication, if not it is sent back to the Content 
 Creator
 step 3 - an Editor, usually a student, reviews the submitted content 
 from the Reviewer, and either publishes the content, or sends it back to 
 the Content Creator for changes. 

 Only published content is available publicly on the site. Of course, 
 all of these submissions and back and fort between the Content Creator, 
 Reviewer, and Editor is documented with comments and date stamps - ie a 
 history is kept. Also, emails and texts are sent to each person(s) in 
 theses roles when something changes, so everyone can react as soon as 
 possible

 The basic rule is that all content (and edits to that content) must 
 first be reviewed by a Reviewer (ie teacher or staff) before any student 
 sees the submitted content - a school district rule and not my version of 
 Big Brother.

 I searched the Mezzanine documentation for "workflow" and did not find 
 any references, so I am not sure what it is called in this project. Does 
 Mezzanine have the concept of workflow for content, and can it be easily 
 adjusted for this three step workfow process?

 Thanks,

 Mark

Re: [mezzanine-users] ngnix configurations overwritten

[Akhlaq Rao]

Yes, exactly I see it as the length of env.domains determines the value of
ssl_disable. Could you please help me to understand how to produce
ssl_disable = false by the following statement.

I am trying to set SSL so which ever way it produces true.

env.ssl_disabled = "#" if len(env.domains) > 1 else ""


*Thanks,*

It should be inside the deploy/ folder in your project root.

Re: [mezzanine-users] ngnix configurations overwritten

[Akhlaq Rao]

Hi Rivas,

I am directly modifying the file on server, I have no clue how do I use the
template because I can't find it in my project. Any idea where do I find
the template for nginx?

Thanks.

Re: [mezzanine-users] ngnix configurations overwritten

Are you applying your changes to the nginx template in your repo? The idea
with Fabric is that you edit all configuration files in the included
templates instead of doing it directly on the server.

[mezzanine-users] ngnix configurations overwritten

[Akhlaq Rao]

Everytime I deploy my project to DigitalOcean through Fabric, it over 
writes my (app).conf settings. I enabled SSL through settings then after 
deployment I see the SSL is all commented out.  What could be wrong?

Thanks.

Re: [mezzanine-users] Images in .pdf Invoice

[Ken Bolton]

Outside the scope of Mezzanine/Cartridge, I am getting amazing results
using athenapdf  to convert HTML to
PDF. I manage a sprawling Python application that had a homebrew and
long-in-the-tooth webkit integration in c++ and Python to generate PDF. I
replaced it with http calls to the athenapdf microservice. The performance
and quality have been astounding.

Re: [mezzanine-users] Images in .pdf Invoice

[Joseph Mohan]

Thanks for your help. 

I've spent the last 2 days pulling xhtml2pdf apart and still cannot get 
this to work. It seems to just not recognize any src attribute on an img 
tag, even tried brute forcing it but 

xhtml2pdf also seems to now be abandoned 
 and their python3 support is 
shaky.. hense why i'm struggling so much.

Had a quick look at weazyprint  but having trouble 
installing it on my dev machine let alone my production shared servers  

Anyone had any luck using an alternative to xhtml2pdf?
