Template file not found pdf.php #1

Open Serob opened 6 years ago

Serob commented 6 years ago

On generating it gives ther following error in pdf: Template file not found at theme_path…/advanced-pdf-generator/apg-templates/pdf.php

How to create pdf.php and mail.php files? What should they consist of? What's the format? Is there any example?

jcmlmorav commented 6 years ago

I think there is an error in the path printed in the PDF file. Create the apg-templates directory in your theme root and put the follow files to customize. wp-content/themes/you-theme-name/apg-templates/

pdf.php file to write the content will be in your PDF
mail.php file to write the content will be in you email sent. For personalization use $name and $file_url to show the info previously typed in the form.

Please let me know if it works.

I've changed it already to the theme path that you've suggested, but the rusult was the same(only diff is that there's another path in the error). My pdf.php file is empty, maybe this cause the problem? How should I fill it if I want my post to be converted to pdf?

P.S. there are questins from the other users regarding to the same error in wordpress site also.

jcmlmorav commented 6 years ago

Plugin is looking for the pdf.php file in the index path of the current theme: get_template_directory() . '/apg-templates/pdf.php' it should works.

Are you using some skeleton theme?

Serob commented 6 years ago

Yes, I found this part in the source code. And for the theme: I am using default "Twenty Seventeen" theme.

jcmlmorav commented 6 years ago

OK, let me check if there is a bug with current wp versions or themes

Thanks for your report. I'll post here if I find something.

Serob commented 6 years ago

I'm on Windows, if it can help.

Serob commented 6 years ago

I also noticed difference between slashes, so the full path is

...wamp64\www\testsite\wordpress/wp-content/themes/twentyseventeen/apg-templates/pdf.php

Can they cause problems? Although browser finds the file in this path format.

jcmlmorav commented 6 years ago

Maybe, I tested all in Linux and Mac OS, but not in windows. I'll check if that is the issue.

Do you have an example template file with images atleast? Do we use FPDF or something?
