Font in PDF output footer [message #2097]

Not sure whether this is a bug or me, but can't get it to work...

I inadvertently forgot to set the font in my pdf_style file for the footer so it was using the Times font that was already in the file. I have changed this to Arial to match the rest of my output but noticed an issue in the footer. I am outputting page numbers in the format Page x of y on the rhs of the footer, but the y value does not print when using Arial, only when using Times. The x value prints ok in both cases. The y value prints a small box (an unprintable character?)

Can you send me a copy of your pdf.styles.inc file? I need to see exactly what settings you are using so I can test them on my system.

File is attached.

There are two footer styles -> foot and foot_letter

The one in question is the foot style - my page number output works fine when set to Times, but not when set to Arial.

I could reproduce the problem at my end, and when I checked the TCPDF documentation I discovered that I should be using the new $this->getAliasNbPages() function instead of the deprecated $this->AliasNbPages property. This has cleared the problem you reported. Try the attached file and see if it works for you.

I must need something else too as I am getting:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method PDF_list::getAliasNumPage() in C:\xampp\includes\std.pdf.class.inc on line 1275

Maybe I've missed something from a previous upgrade?

Are you using the latest version of Radicore, 1.48? This includes an update to the TCPDF library.

I thought I was, but maybe I've only done a partial upgrade from some of the fixes you provided part way through last month. I'll download the full 1.48 and try again.

Incidentally, is there an easy way to identify only updated modules each month to save ftp'ing the whole lot?

Checking the modified date of each file is a start, but a change to the TCPDF libraries may involve files with dates prior to the last update.

OK - now that I've looked I know I didn't download 1.48. I'll do the upgrade and then confirm whether this has fixed the problem - will be tomorrow now.

Thanks.

Tested with the proper 1.48 upgrade and it all works ok now.

However, since my upgrade I don't think the style_custom.css in the menu subsystem is being used anymore. I changed the background colour of the h1 attribute to match in with the h1 background colour of my app (mainly for the Home Page) but now I only seem to get the default colour. Has something changed here or have I overwritten something during the upgrade?

I have tested it on my system and it is using the style_custom.css file as it should. Did you overwrite your file with the default one in the download?

I did but I changed it again when I realised what I had done. However, when I have come to check it again this morning it's working properly. I can only assume that the page was cached so I didn't see my correction.
