Convert PDF File

Hey Eric,

I tried to create a PDF as an attached file in the email but it did not succeed with the example you’ve given. It’s the first time I work with php so I don’t have any experience. Do you have any other tips or suggestions which might help?

Thanks in advance!

Peter

Hey Eric,

In fact I literally copied your code in the functions.php. I don’t have any knowledge about this at al… Maybe you know if there is an online manual which clearly describes how to work with this? I have tried this already on fpdf.org but unfortunaly didn’t succeed so far.

Thanks!,

Peter

Hey Eric,

Thank you very much for your help. It has not yet succeeded. Soon I go continue with this. I have now another question about working with contact form 7. I know perhaps it’s not a difficult issue for you, but for me it is quite difficult. I’m just a beginner :).

How can I put two text fields next to each other in contact form 7? (without table format)

At the moment I have this:

<p>Uw naam*
[text* your-name class:uwnaam]</p>

<p>Uw email*
[text* your-email class:uwemail]</p>

I like to have this two sections next to each other.

I have already completed the following codes to change the width of these two sections (classes):

Input.uwnaam{width: 250px;}
Input.uwemail{width: 250px;}

Thank you very much again! 🙂

Thanks! It works. Now I have 3 textfields next to each other. How can I get another 3 textfields one row down? Now I have this text in contact form 7:

<div class=”formdiv”>Uw naam*
[text* your-name class:uwnaam]</div>
<div class=”formdiv”>Uw email*
[text* your-email class:uwemail]</div>
<div class=”formdiv”>Uw achternaam*
[text* your-name class:uwachternaam]</div>

<p>Uw leeftijd*
[text* your-email class:uwleeftijd]</p>

And this code now I have in CSS:

.formdiv {float:left}
Input.uwnaam{width: 250px;margin-right: 50px;}
Input.uwemail{width: 250px;margin-right: 50px;}
input.uwachternaam{width: 250px;}

And what do you mean with clear:both removing float elements?

Thanks a lot!

Btw, ik zit in Nederland, jij? 🙂

Hi,

We would like to come back on the first question in this topic about convert to PDF. We are still working on this issue and we have a question about the connection between the send button and the concerning action (add action) after. We used the code as mentioned above in this topic in our php function. But when we use this code, the send button does not response in combination with the add action option -> “wpcf7_before_send_mail”. It does not work unfortunately.

We used the following code (see below) and we added the code to functions.php. Besides that, we added the FPDF files to the includes directory of contact-form-7. Maybe we have to move ‘add_action( ‘wpcf7_before_send_mail’, ‘save_application_form’);’ to another function?? Or there is something wrong with the code??

We hope that someone can help us to solve this problem.

The code that we used:

add_action( 'wpcf7_before_send_mail', 'save_application_form');

function save_application_form($cf7) {

/* GET EXTERNAL CLASSES */
require('http://www.umea.nl/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/fpdf.php');

/* example code to generate the pdf */
$pdf = new FPDF();
$pdf->AddPage();
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',16);
$pdf->Write(5,"Hello, World!\n\n\n");
$pdf->Output('http://www.umea.nl/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/file/pdf.pdf', 'F');

/* add  the pdf as attach to the email */
$cf7->uploaded_files = array ( 'attachedfile' => 'http://www.umea.nl/wp-content/plugins/contact-form-7/includes/file/pdf.pdf' );

}

Thanks in advance! 🙂
