can't this be made as a plugin?

Frenck · #16 07-04-2005, 06:59 AM

LOL @ amykhar

Is this called revence? :P

No it can't, it needs a modification to class_bbcode.php.
For the PDF generation it needs different template for
the quote, php, html & code block.

There are no hooks at that locations

[edit]

Although, it could be done WITHOUT the class_bbcode.php modification!

In that case you need to replace your templates of bbcode_html_printthread, bbcode_code_printthread, bbcode_php_printthread & bbcode_html_printthread with the ones of the PDF thread.

than open pdfthread.php in your favorite editor and search for:

Code:

$bbcode_parser->pdfthread = true;

replace it with:

Code:

$bbcode_parser->printthread = true;

There it is, a download as pdf without any code modifications...
(Only the look of your printthread will change and might need some further template modifications)

where is the gb2312.map? I need it.

Frenck · #18 07-04-2005, 09:49 AM

That is from the html2fpdf lib.
I have included the complete html2fpdf lib with this zip package.

It looks like you use a non standard font or a font that is not included with the package.

Maybe you could check out the fpdf libary (used for the html2fpdf lib).
I could be in that package.

If you need special font, than visit fpdf.org, there you will find a manual/scripts about convering font for use with this scripts.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
