Temp Directory Not Writable

[TryndaEAdair]

There is no way to easily modify the path for the temp directory mpdf uses. This can cause issues in test and production servers where the host has locked down write access to all but the uploads folders for security purposes.

A temporary solution is to update the mpdf instances in the send to pdf classes/views (send-pdf.php & send-pdf-admin.php) and include the temp url directory argument, but this can be overwritten by an update from the WordPress repository.

A long term solution would be to include a settings area where the temp argument can be set as an option in the wp_options table or default directory to one in the uploads folder which is always has writable permissions.

temporary solution / wp_option Example: ` // Change this to option saved in DB $custom_tmp_path = '/wp-content/uploads/send-to-pdf-contact-form-7/tmp';

// Add tempDir argument with option variable to all mpdf constructors. $mpdf = new \Mpdf\Mpdf(['tempDir' => $custom_tmp_path, 'mode' => 'utf-8', 'format' => $formatPdf, 'margin_header' => 10, 'margin_top' => 40,]); `

Hi :D

Thank you for looking into this issue. I tried installing the update and on setting save I get a 502 Bag Gateway Error. Looking at the code in send-pdf-7.php class, it looks like the mpdf object still needs the argument (see screenshot from my code modification) [image: image.png]

You'd just need to change the variable to use the option created, something like: $custom_tmp_path = get_option('wpcf7pdf_path_temp'');

Hope this helps, love the plugin to far, very handy!
