Print To PDF for Custom Entities

[info@jaguarsoft.com]

Hi there,

I try to add Print To PDF support for my Custom Entities in detail view just like advanced - Quote.

I create client/custom/src/views/MyEntity/record/detail.js . I copied detail.js from Advanced... quote/record.
and also add to my custom entityDefs - MyEntity.json to "recordViews": {"detail": "Custom:MyEntity.Record.Detail"}

But It did not work..
But if I use "recordViews": {"detail": "Advanced:Quote.Record.Detail"} in entitydef/MyEntity.jso it works..bu it is not good way...!

What is the magic to get it working.

thnx & rgdrs,

Selcuk

Hi

The problem that your entity is not listed? Add "object": true to metadata > scopes > CustomEntity.json

Hi,

I've already added "object:true" for Templates..

[yuri]

"object": true for your custom entity

[info@jaguarsoft.com]

Yes, right, I mean I added to all my CustomEntiies object:true to select my CustomEntities in Templates regarding ealrlier.
post I solved my issue by modifiying clien/src/vies/record/detail.js but now I need to check this file for new updates / upgrades.

Can you write here your changes in detail.js?

[info@jaguarsoft.com]

I've added 2 buttons with actions in setup function.for My entiies.. Creaete PDF , ( Same a as yours Print To PDF), and Create GPR (Special Report Generaitıon for me ) setup: function () {.........................

var modname = this.model.name;
if (modname =='CustENT1' || modname ==CusENT2|| modname =='CustENT3' || modname =='CustENT4' )
{
this.dropdownItemList.push({name: 'printPdf', label: this.translate('Create PDF','labels') }); // your action 'Print To PDF
this.dropdownItemList.push({'label': this.translate('Create GPR','labels'),'name': 'gpr' }); // My Action, opens new page
}
.......................

actionGpr: function()
{
var tok = this.getUser().get('userName') + ':' + this.getUser().get('token');
var tok64 = btoa(tok);
var newur = "....../CreateGPP.php?ent=" + this.model.name + "&enid="+ this.model.id+ "&tk="+tok64;

window.open(newur,'_blank');
}

fyi,

take it easy,

Selcuk

Edit: The user guide fixes this issue I think (https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...ting-to-pdf.md). It seems like EspoCRM handles "Print to PDF" in detail view with templates now.




yuri What have I done wrong? I'm trying to implement the same thing (Print to PDF for all of my entities), but it isn't working. So far, I'm only trying to make it work with my Project entity. I created this file:

file: client/custom/src/views/project/detail.js

Espo.define('custom:views/project/record/detail', 'views/record/detail', function (Dep) {
  return Dep.extend({

    setup: function () {
      Dep.prototype.setup.call(this);

      var printPdfAction = false;
      this.dropdownItemList.forEach(function (item) {
        if (item.name === 'printPdf') {
          printPdfAction = true;
        }
      }, this);
      if (!printPdfAction) {
        this.dropdownItemList.push({
          name: 'printPdf',
          label: 'Print to PDF'
        });
      }
    },

    actionPrintPdf: function () {
      this.createView('pdfTemplate', 'views/modals/select-template', {
        entityType: this.model.name
      }, function (view) {
        view.render();

        this.listenToOnce(view, 'select', function (model) {
          window.open('?entryPoint=pdf&entityType='+this.model.name+'&entityId='+this.model.id+'&templateId=' + model.id, '_blank');
        }, this);
      }.bind(this));
    }
  });
}); 

I don't understand if I'm supposed to make more files. Nothing is in my Project->Actions menu:



Am I supposed to make a template or something? I double checked and my entity has "object":true in metadata->scopes.
