Template for Printing multiple records of entity

[item]

Hello esforim , emillod,
Yes with espocrm all is possible.. and what emillod ask is possible .. but not out-of-box .. so need code :

first create a field for entity :

activityList

activityList

Json Array

then services :

<?php

namespace Espo\Custom\Services;
use \Espo\ORM\Entity as Entity;

class Patient extends \Espo\Core\Templates\Services\Person
{
public function loadAdditionalFields(Entity $entity)
{
parent::loadAdditionalFields($entity);

$sql = "SELECT id, name, 'Call' as entityType, date_start as dateStart, status, description FROM `call` where parent_type='Patient' AND parent_id='" .$entity->id ."' AND deleted='0'
UNION
SELECT id, name, 'Meeting' as entityType, date_start as dateStart, status, description FROM `meeting` where parent_type='Patient' AND parent_id='" .$entity->id ."' AND deleted='0'
UNION
SELECT id, name, 'Email' as entityType, date_sent as dateStart, status, body_plain as description FROM `email` where parent_type='Patient' AND parent_id='" .$entity->id ."' AND deleted='0' AND status NOT IN ('Failed', 'Draft')
ORDER BY dateStart DESC";
$pdo = $this->getEntityManager()->getPDO();
//$GLOBALS['log']->warning( $sql);
$sth = $pdo->prepare($sql);
$sth->execute();
$row = $sth->fetchAll(\PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

foreach ($row as $i => $v) {
$activityDataList[$i] = (object) $v;
}


$activityList = json_decode(json_encode($activityDataList, true));

$entity->set('activityList',$activityList );
//$GLOBALS['log']->warning( $entity->get('calls' ) );
}

public function loadAdditionalFieldsForPdf(Entity $entity)
{
$this->loadAdditionalFields($entity);

}
}

then on your pdf .. you can loop activityList

but need code ..of course, this is my solution with my skill ... but for me not complicate for out-of-box code ..
PrintPdfPerPage
PrintPdfAsOne .. somethink like this as button

Regards

Awesome. I probably won't be using it but I'm sure it is useful for other. Added to #learning thread

item hello. thank you very much.
That's workaround, but if you want to use this in all entities, you'll need to modify all entities..
It'll be easier if espo devs decide to add this as built-in feature
