Get Image From Current User In PDF Template

[dodom2]

Hi All!

I need to get the "Current Users" image within a PDF template. I was curious how I can do this as when using a general PDF template there's no related record like if I were to build the template for a specific module.

Normally I would do something like this {{imageTag currentUser.UserImageId width=95 }}

Any help is appreciated!

Hi dodom2

This won't work as there is no currentUser.userImage. You will need to create your own pdf helper to do it, follow steps below and it should allow you get the current user avatar (you change the avatarId to any other image field name you are using for your user, i just assumed that this will be for the avatar).

1 - Create a file custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/metadata/app/templateHelpers.json

{
    "currentUserAvatar": "Espo\\Custom\\TemplateHelpers\\CurrentUserAvatar"
}​ 

2 - Create a file custom/Espo/Custom/TemplateHelpers/CurrentUserAvatar.php

<?php
namespace Espo\Custom\TemplateHelpers;

use Espo\Core\Htmlizer\Helper;
use Espo\Core\Htmlizer\Helper\Data;
use Espo\Core\Htmlizer\Helper\Result;
use Espo\Entities\User;

class CurrentUserAvatar implements Helper
{
    public function __construct(
        Private User $user
    ) {}

    public function render(Data $data): Result
    {
        $width = $data->getOption('width') ?? null;        
        $height = $data->getOption('height') ?? null;        

        $attributesPart = "";

        if ($width) {
            $attributesPart .= " width="" .strval($width) . """;
        }

        if ($height) {
            $attributesPart .= " height="" .strval($height) . """;
        }

        $id = $this->user->get('avatarId');

        if (!$id) {
            return Result::createEmpty();
        }

        $html = "<img src="?entryPoint=attachment&id={$id}"{$attributesPart}>";


        return Result::createSafeString($html);
    }
}​

And here is how you can use it (width and high are optional but give you control if you want to)

{{currentUserAvatar width=50 height=50}} 

This should do the job for you
