[Geomoose-users] Print Templates

Thanks Len. That did the trick.  I defined 

$pdf->Cell(0,.25

 to be 

$pdf->Cell(1,.25 

and then set my x position within letter_landscape.xml to x="-.19".  

I thought I had tired that but apparently not!

Where you define the cell:

$pdf->Cell(0,.25,$printString,0,0,'R');//R for right, L for left and C
for center justification

Try changing the width value (the first zero) to something.  Looks like
if there is no width defined, the cell goes all the way to the right
margin.  If that doesn't work, you could try setting the margins
$pdf->SetMargins(float left, float top [, float right]).

Well I finally got the justification to work on my print template.
There is still one issue I am having but overall it works well.  I
wanted a title and subtitle for user inputs.  The title needed to be on
the left side of the template and the Subtitle on the right.  The
default is left justified so I needed to right justify the subtitle.
The only way I could get it to work is to split them up in the print.php
file. I attached the code I worked with at around line 291 where it says
"# Render the text fields".  The code between #SZ Start and #SZ End is
the code I added.  I basically had to add another "getElementsByTagName"
and call it text1.  So anywhere within that chunk of code that referred
to "text" I changed it to "text1".  Then at the end of the code I added
there is a line that says "$pdf->Cell(0,.25,$printString,0,0,'R');",
this is where I defined the justification.  If you look at the original
code it does not have the ",0,0,'R'" after "$printString".  The R means
right, C would be for center if you wanted the text centered and L for
left.  

Now all I had to do is go into your letter_landscape.xml template and
change text to text1.  Below is what mine looks like:

<text x=".47" y=".29" size="12" content="%title%"/>

<text1 x="0" y=".29" size="10" content="%subtitle%"/>

<text x="9.8" y="7.08" size="8" content="%date%"/>

The one issue I am having though is once I have right justified text1 I
cannot move the x position.  So above where it says <text1 x="0", I
could have a 0 or 100 in the x= and it wont change the position.  The
reason I would like to is that when I right justify my text1 it sits
just a little bit outside my border.  I have also added a pdf of my
print.

Thanks for your help Len.

This is possible, but you are going to have to edit print.php.  The
library GeoMOOSE uses for printing PDFs is at, http://www.fpdf.org/.
Look for "cell" in the documentation and print.php - you should be able
to set the justification.

I was just wondering if there is a way to align a subtitle on the right
side on my custom print template.  I am using something that looks like
this in my .xml:

<text x="-.47" y=".29" size="14" content="%subtitle%"/>

Is there a way to put a right align within the text tag so longer
subtitles will not run off the page.
