Contributed update available

Updated again: 2.3.3 (unofficial).

Per another request here, I also wanted the header to only appear on the first page (removing the logo was only the first step for me). So, I’ve added an option which when unchecked, (new default), only prints the header on the first page. To return to the previous default (header on all pages), check the box.

I also have a build using the latest TCPDF, but it is over 11MB. I haven’t figured out which fonts can get dumped, yet.

Updated again: 2.3.4 (unofficial).

I’ve added an option to set the scaling factor for images, overriding the TCPDF default of 1.25. The TCPPDF scaling factor is a ratio, i.e., 1:1.25, so 1.25 is slightly smaller than original; thus a scaling factor of 2 results in an image which is 50% of original, or 1:2. Ultimately, what I’d like to do is allow a “percentage of original” entry here, and let php do the arithmetic. Suggestions are welcome.

Hey Lewis,

WOW! This’s some brilliant work. I didn’t even know till now about this thread.

I’ll include your changes in next release which is scheduled for March 1st Week.

I salute you for your effort!

Thanks and keep up the good work.

Regards,
Neerav

You bet, Neerav!

Thank you for all of your excellent work in bringing this to WordPress. All I did was round off a couple of corners and add a shelf or two. ??

Looking forward to your next official release!

Cheers

Lewis

Could you both do something about custom fields?

Thanks in advance!

@neerav any timeframe on the new version being released?

I’m trying to find a way to include the Category the post came from as well as the date. Looks like this is where I should go ?

@mdroca: Are looking for something as discussed in https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/wp-post-to-pdf-and-custom-fields?replies=4 ?

@blake: Indeed, that thread is a good starting point. I’ll have a look at adding options for these in the back end settings page, as well.

Diff against my previous version (2.3.4 unofficial):

ftp://ftp.2rosenthals.com/pub/WordPress/plugins/wp-post-to-pdf.2.3.5.diff

What’s new:

Added option to include the date in the same area where the author name would go (i.e., beneath the post title).

Added option to include a comma-separated list of categories for the post in the same area where the author name would go (i.e., beneath the post title).

To-do:

Add option to move either or both of the above to the footer, with left, right, or center alignment.

Add option to specify the separator in a list of categories.

Add option to remove paragraph break between author, categories, date (to format better and waste less vertical space).

Add option to specify first or all categories (presently, we display the list, via get_the_category_list).

Add option to specify ordering/alignment (see above) of these items.

Feedback is welcome.

Enjoy!

Hey Lewis – very interested in checking out your improvements on this plugin, but am unable to download from these links…

Also, am wondering if you’ve also updated your plugin with the latest version of TCPDF ?

thanks!
-jennyb

Sorry, Jenny; server hiccup. You should be able to reach them, now.

Updated TCPDF: Indeed, this is in the mill (and should handle CSS better than the version in the existing builds). I hope to have it available for download this weekend. There is a surprising number of fonts bundled with TCPDF 6.0, and I’m not certain that all are appropriate for inclusion with this plugin. They increase the size of the distribution considerably.

Cheers

Lewis

Hey, great Lewis, thanks. Think you could give a shout when the new one is up? I had be away from my TCPDF project for a while, but am back on it at full force! And my brain is slowly melting…lol.

thanks for the continued support.

best,
-jennyb

LOL…

You bet, Jenny. No problem.

Cheers

Lewis
