Hi to everybody.
I've dowloaded and installed successfully Chronoforms V5 (PHP Version : 5.3.27) .
I've also dowloaded TCPDF action for Chronoforms V5, but, trying to install it via Install Action , this error appears:
Fatal error: Class 'ZipArchive' not found in /home/xxxx/public_html/mysite/administrator/components/com_chronoforms5/chronoforms/chronoforms.php on line 477

Can you help me?

Thanks in advance

It works, thanks a lot.

I've seen the article explaining the installation of the TCPDF zip file. They talked about an "Install Action" icon from the Manager toolbar. The problem is that I can't see this icon. I use version 5 of Chronoform. Thank you !

Please make sure you have the latest v5 update installed, if you still don't have it then list what you have or post a screenshot.

I've checked and discovered that, indeed, I did not have the latest update. I thought I would be noticed through component update for new versions. Is there something I need to activate to be noticed ?
By the way, once updated, I could see the new button and I installed successfully the TCPDF addon. I tested it and discovered that if I use it in the onsubmit event, I go directly to the PDF. Is there a way to trigger the PDF generation by clicking a link form the feedback screen instead ? Thank you !

The extension updater has only been added recently, and I think you had an old release.

You can point a link to a new form event (create a new event) and use the TCPDF action there, you may have to pass a record id and read the data first because the form data will not be available in that event.

I already setup another event for the PDF generation. I can also retrieve all needed data from the session or if necessary directly from the database. But, I can't see how I can access this new event.

Globally, I have set a first form for a quiz that leads to an interpretation of the results (using even switcher). Then, if the user wants to have a more detailed report, he has to fill a second form to identify himself. This second form leads to the detailed web report. In this report, there is a link to generate the report in PDF if needed.

My problem is here. What would be the link to call the PDF generation event?
I use two separate forms: one for the quiz that leads eventually to the identification form. The PDF event is located in the second form. I have the onload event, the submit event and the pdf event.

Thank you for your help!

Hi hlarocque,

If you have an event called On pdf - then you can call it by putting &event=pdf in the URL.

You will also need to pass the data to this event. I think that using MultiPage actions will do that correctly.

Yesssss ! It's working perfectly ! Thank you !

One more question. Is there a way to include a CSS file or to use one already included for the PDF document ? That would be much cleaner than to insert css snippet of code.

I don't think this is possible, its just not supported by the TCPDF library.
