I'm new to CodeIgniter and even newer to mPDF and I'm having some brain trouble in trying to create a single-page invoice from an existing View. Code is as follows:
$this->load->library('mpdf');
$to_convert = $this->load->view('test_pdf_view',TRUE);
$this->mpdf->WriteHTML($to_convert);
$this->mpdf->Output();
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you :-)
You need to pass TRUE as the third parameter to the view:
$to_convert = $this->load->view('test_pdf_view', NULL, TRUE);

attrs={'rows': 1, 'cols': 10}))
Any help would be appreciated, Thanks in advance!
You can try using Django Crispy Forms, read the documentation on this page
I am trying to load a view from my controller using the follow code but I only get a raw HTML view and does not show the site's template.
$view = $this->getView( 'download', 'html' );
$view->display();
Can some help me in what I am doing wrong to display the site's template.
I also tried a redirect but that did not work either
$this->redirect(JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_atdwcsv&view=download'), false);
Edit: I figured out what was wrong with the redirect. Code I needed was
$this->setRedirect('index.php?option=com_atdwcsv&view=download');
$this->redirect();
I could be wrong, but I don't think you need to use the display() method on the view, I think you need to use $this->display(); instead.
I'm working in Codeigniter and using Flexigrid. It's working fine. For one of my new module I have below requirement:-
highlight rows of unread messages.
My Codeigniter-Ajax page code below:-
$record_items[] = array(base64_encode($row->msg_id),
$row->message,
$row->username,
$date_post->format('d-m-Y H:i:s'),
);
The above code is populating rows. So I'm not able to figure it out , how will I change the row color.
Any help please? Forgive me for bad english.
I'm new to codeigniter. please tell me how can I integrate or install a html theme/template in codeigniter ? (my css folder path=news/css and application folder path=news/application where news is my main folder)
-thanks.
This is a very simple, very powerful way to do templates in codeigniter that is also very flexible.

ignore the title, most of the lesson is about setting up templates in CI.
Note that i was first exposed to this method from a jeffrey way CI tutorial on net.tutsplus.com
All of them are worth checking out: http://net.tutsplus.com/sessions/codeigniter-from-scratch/
edit -- ok this is good enough addition to post. So in the tutorial, on the template.php page, you will see
$this->load->view($maincontent);
which is cool. but this is much better:
// load your header views
$templatefolder = 'beta/';
if(isset($content01))
$this->load->view($templatefolder.$content01);
if(isset($content02))
$this->load->view($templatefolder.$content02);
if(isset($content03))
$this->load->view($templatefolder.$content03);
// load your footer views
so instead of calling the view "maincontent", i've put in references to $content1, $content2, etc. Because we are doing if isset none of them are required. that way you can easily send more then one view file to the template. Or none at all if you are just showing a message, etc. Also notice that we have $templatefolder - that way you can easily reuse the template file for other site templates, even with the same content.
in your controller (similar to tutorial) it would be
$data['content01'] = 'codeigniterrawks';
$data['content02'] = 'mypetlion';
// beta template
$this->load->view( 'template_beta', $data );
note how easy it is if i want to bring in those same view files into a different template
$data['content01'] = 'codeigniterrawks';
$data['content02'] = 'mypetlion';
// alpha template
$this->load->view( 'template_alpha', $data );
I ran into this exact question about a week ago, this guide really helped me:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/php/an-introduction-to-views-templating-in-codeigniter/
To do the CSS url's, I added "uri" to my libraries in config/autoload.php (so it looks like this:
$autoload['libraries'] = array('uri', 'database');)
" type="text/css" media="screen" />
the base_url function automatically return whatever the base url of your site is, ie
http://localhost/news/
with the argument appended to the end.
The reason behind this is that if/when you ever need to migrate servers, you just change the base_url in the config file and it automatically updates across all of your templates and sources.
Try this,
I'm using this and it's very powerful.

I'm using a Magento 1.4.1.1 install that I'm having issues with the javascript on a custom themed store.
For example, going to any product page (e.g. http://www.papakuraeducation.co.nz/index.php/teachers/magic-caterpillar-handwriting-casey-caterpillar-small-book.html) loads a Javascript file, which contains code which is supposed to scale down the .jpg file to fit the 'product-image' container it sits inside.
The relevent code seems to be around line #10279, which is causing a exception that $(imageEl).parentNode = null
Product.Zoom.prototype = {
initialize: function(imageEl, trackEl, handleEl, zoomInEl, zoomOutEl, hintEl){
this.containerEl = $(imageEl).parentNode;
this.imageEl = $(imageEl);
this.handleEl = $(handleEl);
this.trackEl = $(trackEl);
this.hintEl = $(hintEl);
(snipped...)
I've tried debugging it in Chrome and adding breakpoints, but tbh I'm not actually sure how to use this information to find the solution.
Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
You have to add an ID to the <IMG> in question. This ID should than be fed into the following code-space:
product_zoom = new Product.Zoom('IMAGE_ID', 'track', 'handle', 'zoom_in', 'zoom_out', 'track_hint');
