Plugin Not Creating nor Saving PDF

Hi Kenedyt,

You need to place the function inside the PHP tags <?php function…. ?>

Secondly, you should match to the form ID not the form title – change: if ($form_title == ‘Let me Know What Do You Need’) { to if ($form_id == 3) {.

If you are still having problems please follow steps 4 and 5 here: https://gravityformspdfextended.com/topic/pdf-not-working-please-read-before-starting-a-new-topic/

Thankyou! Amazing… I love this plugin…

K feeling like im really close here can i get some help on what im missing on my code:

/*************************************************************************************
 *	Gravity forms pdf writer
 *************************************************************************************/
function gfpdfe_create_and_attach_pdf($notification, $form, $entry)
{

    /*
     * Set the PDF name here or leave blank to use the default.
     * Example: $PDF_name = 'My File.pdf';
     */
    $PDF_name = 'Customer Information.pdf';

    /*
     * Use a custom template or leave blank to use the default.
     * The template file needs to be in your active theme's PDF_EXTENDED_TEMPLATES folder before referencing below
     * Example: $custom_template_name = 'my-custom-template.php';
     * Default template options: default-template.php, default-template-two-rows.php, default-template-no-style.php
     */
    $template_name = 'default-template.php';

    /*
     * Set data used to determine if PDF needs to be created and attached to notification
     * Don't change anything here.
     */
    $notification_name = $notification['name'];
    $notification_id   = $notification['id'];
    $form_title        = $form['title'];
    $form_id           = $entry['form_id'];
    $user_id           = $entry['id'];
    $folder_id = $form_id.$user_id.'/';

    /* GENERATE AND EMAIL PDF
     * Do we want to create and send a PDF for this form?
     * You can match the form ID or the form title
     * Example: if($form_id == 3 || $form_title == 'My Custom Form')
     */
    if ($form_id == 7 || $form_title == 'Customer Information') {
        /*
         * Get ready to create the PDF file
         */
         require PDF_PLUGIN_DIR . 'render_to_pdf.php';
         $PDF_name          = (strlen($PDF_name) > 0) ? $PDF_name : get_pdf_filename($form_id, $user_id);
         $pdf_arguments     = array(
             'pdfname' => $PDF_name,
             'template' => $template_name,
             'return' => true
         );

        /* generate and save default PDF */
        $filename = PDF_Generator($form_id, $user_id, $pdf_arguments);

        /* ATTACH PDF TO EMAIL
         * As of GF 1.7 notifications aren't limited to admin and user.
         * We now need to match the notification we would like to attach the file to instead of using gform_admin_notification_attachments and gform_user_notification_attachments.
         * You can match against the name of your notification
         * Example: if($notification_name == 'Admin - Notify admin user')
         */
        if ($notification_name == 'Admin - Notify admin user' || $notification_name == 'User - Notify User') {
            $attachment_file               = PDF_SAVE_LOCATION . $folder_id . $PDF_name;
            $notification['attachments'][] = $attachment_file;
        }
    }
    return $notification;
}

add_filter('gform_notification', 'gfpdfe_create_and_attach_pdf', 10, 3);

Thanks for your help, I have checked to make sure my templates are in the directory on the server.

Hi,

Just looking at the code the first thing I noticed is you haven’t changed the notification names:

if ($notification_name == 'Admin - Notify admin user' || $notification_name == 'User - Notify User') {

Make sure you match them to the names of your actual notifications – ie. ‘Administrator Notification’.

Also, you should really start your own topic for support.

Thank you and I will do that in the future, my apologies
