Search field in Print to PDF dialog

[Stefan]

Hi!

I would find it very practical if there was a search field in the template selection dialog. As we have several templates, this would make our work easier. Ideally a "live search", so that results are already displayed (filtered) while typing.

Thanks in advance,
Stefan

Personally, in this situation I use Ctrl+f and then enter the search word. If such a workaround suits you, of course.

[Stefan]

Thank you for the answer victor. But I have more than 25 templates and not all templates are automatically loaded. So that would not really be a suitable solution for me.

you can create a custom list view and use your own select-template file which extend original and only enable search panel.

[Stefan]

Can you tell me more about how to do this rabii?

[rabii]

You can create a custom recordViews list for lead entity and there you can overwrite the action printToPdf where you can use the same code but just create a custom select-template modal which extends the original with a change which is making searchPanel true.

[Stefan]

So I made a custom/record/list to override massActionPrintPdf:

 massActionPrintPdf()
 {
  [...]
​
  this.createView('pdfTemplate', 'custom:views/modals/select-template',
  {
       entityType: this.entityType,
  }
}​

But I have no idea how to extend the original select-template modal. I've tried it like this, but that doesn't work:

define('custom:views/modals/select-template', ['views/modals/select-records'], function (Dep) {
    return Dep.extend({
        setup: function ()
        {
            Dep.prototype.setup.call(this);
            this.searchPanel = true;
        }
 
    });
});​

Could you help me with this?

Hey Stefan

here is the correct code

define('custom:views/modals/select-template', ['views/modals/select-records'], function (Dep) {
    
    return Dep.extend({

        searchPanel: true,

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

I hope this helps

Thank you for your help rabii, but if I use this code I get following errors and the list with the templates doesn't appear.

Uncaught (in promise) TypeError: Cannot read properties of null (reading 'indexOf')

[rabii]

try this it was a mistake in the extended class name. you should extend the select-template class

define('custom:views/modals/select-template', ['views/modals/select-template'], function (Dep) {
    
    return Dep.extend({

        searchPanel: true,

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

[Stefan]

Yeah, that's it. Thank you very much rabii !!

[rabii]

you are welcome
