TCPDF functions missing? #43

Closed matiasah closed 6 years ago

matiasah commented 6 years ago

I'm having some issues with the library, I'm not sure if I'm doing anything wrong. It also throws errors when trying to use any other method; SetTitle, SetAuthor, AddPage, etc.

Hey there, if you are using the facade pattern you are not suppose to do new TCPDF() but instead TCPDF::Output('boleta.pdf','I') and so on

Please note that if you intend on generating more than one PDF you should use the reset method

Hope this helps

matiasah commented 6 years ago

I can't seem to be getting it either way.

elibyy commented 6 years ago

That's odd. Can you please try and provide the following:

The evaluation of the expression dd(get_class($this->tcpdf)); by temporarily adding it in D:\Git\GetFit\Backend\vendor\elibyy\tcpdf-laravel\src\TCPDF.php on line 38
The version of tecnickcom/tcpdf from composer.lock

Also, The reset is only required at the end and only if you are in a loop, by default there's no need for it

matiasah commented 6 years ago

That's the output, doesn't seem to be null.

Now, I renamed the 'TCPDF' alias to just 'PDF'. I don't know why, but it fixes the issue.

Yup, just figured it out too. Apparently PHP allows you to override classes using class_alias (which laravel uses internally for anything you specify in aliases array in config/app.php). So my class TCPDFHelper extends \TCPDF translates into class TCPDFHelper extends \Elibyy\TCPDF\Facades\TCPDF that doesn't have the method AddPage
