Archive page with generated pdf’s

Hello

The PDFs are not stored in the database or on the server, they are generated in real-time.

You can create this feature though by registering a new post type that has an archive, and then creating a post and saving the PDF to the filesystem and storing it as post meta. Below is an example, assuming you have a registered post type with the slug of pdf

/**
 * Save the PDF
 *
 * @param \Mpdf\Mpdf $mpdf Mpdf object.
 * @return void
 */
function wc_cart_pdf_save_pdf_to_database( $mpdf ) {
    // Get the WordPress upload directory
    $upload_dir = wp_upload_dir();
    $upload_path = $upload_dir['basedir'] . '/wc-cart-pdf/';

    // Ensure the directory exists
    if ( ! file_exists( $upload_path ) ) {
        wp_mkdir_p( $upload_path );
    }

    // Construct the file path
    $file_name = apply_filters( 'wc_cart_pdf_filename', 'WC_Cart-' . gmdate( 'Ymd' ) . bin2hex( openssl_random_pseudo_bytes( 5 ) ) ) . '.pdf';
    $file_path = $upload_path . $file_name;

    // Output the PDF to the specified path
    $mpdf->Output( $file_path, 'F' );

    // Insert a new post of type 'pdf'
    $post_data = array(
        'post_title'    => wp_strip_all_tags( $file_name ), // Use the file name as the post title
        'post_content'  => '', // You can add content if needed
        'post_status'   => 'publish', // Or 'draft' if you don't want it to be published immediately
        'post_type'     => 'pdf', // You can use any post type you want
    );

    // Insert the post into the database
    $post_id = wp_insert_post( $post_data );

    // Optionally, store the file path or URL in post meta if needed
    if ( ! is_wp_error( $post_id ) ) {
        $file_url = $upload_dir['baseurl'] . '/wc-cart-pdf/' . $file_name;
        update_post_meta( $post_id, '_pdf_file_url', $file_url ); // Save the URL of the PDF in post meta
    }
}
add_action( 'wc_cart_pdf_output', 'wc_cart_pdf_save_pdf_to_database' );
