I am not sure why my text for the link is not visible on the page but, when I take my mouse to the area where I was expecting a link text then I am able to click that
blank area" and able to download correct file!
Here is the code structure:
<html>
<head>
some heading/styling link etc.
<body>
some code related to creating dropdown and populating it (form used)
<?php
if submit button is clicked then bunch of variables are populated and
user receives an email with result file. Ideally, I would like to be able
to display a result file link inside this php code.However, I don't know
if php allows to create a hyperlink. So, I was testing to create a link
outside php code. The php code does some python query.
exec("/path/to/python script that does query $var1 $var2 $var3 2>&1",
$output)
?>
<a href="/<?php echo $output[8] ?>"Link to query result</a>
</body>
</html>
So, the text "Link to query result" is nowhere visible but the link exists. What is happening here?
Anchor's opening tag misses '>'
Change
<a href="/<?php echo $output[8] ?>"Link to query result</a>
to
Link to query result

Using the PopUp plugin by subsystic, they claim that adding the following on click attribute to my site will trigger the pop up form I've created when clicking a specific link.
onclick="ppsShowPopup(100); return false;"
This is what my code looks like:
<p class="text">REQUEST DEMO</p>
but the pop up doesn't show.
<a href onclick="ppsShowPopup(100); return false;"><p class="text">REQUEST DEMO</p></a>
I had the same issue. I used the shortcode to intiate the popup: [supsystic-show-popup id=101] (see documentation)
But popup was not showing up when clicked on the button. The problem was that I was using the shortcode in the header template. By default wordpress only processes the shortcode in post/page content.
In order to enable the popup in your desired location use do_shortcode() function.
Example: To use shortcodes in the template files:
<?php do_shortcode('[short_code_string_here]'); ?>
I am currently working on a semi dynamic page where I use some GET functionality to personalize it. I also echo the date a couple of places. At the bottom of this page, I would like to have a button that gives the visitor the option to download/open this page as PDF. Without the header. I have integrated DOMPDF, but I simply cant get it to work properly and need some help. I have tried a couple of things found here on Stackoverflow, with no success.
In basic, I need the whole page printed in the PDF, but it should not open when page is loaded. But triggered by the button. And then without the header (one spesific div). Is this possible?
<?php
require_once("dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php");
$html =
'<html><body>'.
'<p>This is a test for '.
'<?php echo htmlentities(substr(urldecode($_SERVER["QUERY_STRING"]), 1)); ?> </p>'.
'<p>Thank you for reading.</p>'.
'</body></html>';
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("the_inquiry.pdf");
return true;
?>
<html>
<body>
<div class="shouldnotPrintToPDF">
Content.
</div>
<div class="shouldPrintToPDF">
Sensitive content.
Open or save as PDF
</div>
</body>
</html>
This is basically our one page presentation. And contains a lot of text, so I will not present all of that here. But in this way, I have to write the page twice, in $html = as well as inside the actual tag. And the PDF save/open option pops up right from the start, which it should not. I also wish to append the echo htmlentities part to the actual pdf-name.. is this possible? The PDF opens and contains what put into the $html = just fine. But not triggered by the link.
Update:
When i do exactly what you perform here, I get an error "The requested URL /inquiry.php&pdf=1 was not found on this server." I have the page I am trying to print in pdf on root level, but the DOMPDF is in /dompdf.. I dont know if that has anything to do with it?
Update:
When i edited the link, i get all this information up in a new page, like below.
[_parse_properties(margin:=1.2cm)(empty)_parse_properties]
[_parse_sections[section[_parse_properties(display:=-dompdf-page)

Do you have any idea what it might be caused by?
Breakthrough:
When I activated DOMPDF_DPI it actually opens as PDF, but now all of the text comes on first line of the second page of the PDF. Like, all the text comes out on top of each other. Also, when it opens the PDF, the ?&pdf=1 are included in the htmlentities query string, which looks very messy since it is supposed to be a personalized page as well as the PDF.
You can set dompdf to parse CSS #media queries for standard media types (screen, print, voice, etc.). By default dompdf parses the "screen" media type styles, but you can change this in the configuration file. See the DOMPDF_DEFAULT_MEDIA_TYPE configuration setting. Then you just need to pass the original URL querystring with an appended variable telling the page to render to PDF. If your original URL is something like the_inquiry.php?name=Joe then your PDF URL could be the_inquiry.php?name=Joe&pdf=1.
Your code would then look similar to the following:
<?php
ob_start();
?>
<html>
<head>
<style>
#media print {
.shouldnotPrintToPDF, .pdflink { display: none; }
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="shouldnotPrintToPDF">
Content.
</div>
<div class="shouldPrintToPDF">
Sensitive content.
Open or save as PDF
</div>
</body>
</html>
<?php
if ( isset( $_GET['pdf'] ) ) {
require_once 'dompdf/dompdf_config.inc.php';
$html = ob_get_clean();
$dompdf = new DOMPDF();
$dompdf->load_html($html);
$dompdf->render();
$dompdf->stream("the_inquiry.pdf");
}
?>
I have two html pages: /algorithrms and /algorithms/add written in scala template. The route file contains following lines:
GET /algorithms controllers.Application.algorithms()
GET /algorithms/add controllers.Application.newAlgorithmForm()
I want to add a button in the page /algorithms and when I click that button, it simply redirects to the second page /algorithms/add. I know how to do this in JavaScript. I just want to call an action from the button click and then let the action redirects me to the landing page.
So I added the following code in the first page's html template:
#form(action=routes.Application.newAlgorithmForm()){
<input type="submit" value="Add">
}
It worked, but the landing url is: http://localhost:9000/algorithms/add?
I don't want that question mark. I want to know 1) what I did wrong to cause the question mark to generate and 2) how to remove it?
I do not know if you use Twitter bootstrap, but hyperlinks can look like buttons too, and the redirect to another page sounds to me like a plain hyperlink:
<a class="btn" href="#controllers.routes.Application.newAlgorithmForm()" >
#Messages("add.newAlgorithmForm")
</a>
I'm writing an application, a reporter with heirarchy of folders and files, in the lower heirarchy level there are 2 types of reports: the simple one is a flat (non link) report that being presented as a single simple line.
the second type is a link with a general description in the header and if you press the link you get a full report.
example: if I run a telnet command, I will see the command in the header and if I want to see the entire session with the device I will press the link and it will be presented.
My problem is that most of this lined-files are small but the OS reserve a minimum space for every file so I loss alot of disk space for nothing.
The solution I want to implement is a "dummy" links, which will be presented and will behave like a regular links but actually will be stored in the same file like their "parent" (probably with alot of other links like them).
The solutions I saw so far are only for "jumping" inside a page but this is not what I'm looking for, I want it to be presented like a seperated file and I dont want the "parent" file to present this information at all (the only way to see it will be by pressing the link and even then it will present only this information and not the other file content).
any idea guys?
To link to a specific part in a web page, place an anchor link where you want the user to go to when they click a link with:
<a name="anchor"></a>
and link to it with:
Click here
You can replace "anchor" with a more descriptive name if needed.
To hide/show a div (the following code is untested, but should work)
JQuery solution (If you're using JQuery):
function toggle(divname) {
$(divname).toggle();
}
The corresponding HTML:
<div id="content">some content</div>
<a onclick="toggle('content')">Click here to show/hide the content div!</a>
Non-JQuery Solution:
function toggle(divname) {
var adiv = document.getElementById(divname);
if (adiv.style.display === 'block' || adiv.style.display === '') {
adiv.style.display = 'none';
} else {
adiv.style.display = 'block'
}
}
The HTML:
<div style="display:hidden" id="content">Content</div>
<a onclick="toggle('content')">Click here to show/hide the content div!</a>
There is some HTML code which appears on the page as the result of AJAX request/response. This HTML contains GET requests to another php script. Links containing this requests are not working while "real" HTML (added on the page manually) works normally.
When I open the page source with Ctrl+U I see empty div's (but they actually have HTML retrieved via AJAX) and the full-fledged HTML code added manually. Can't figure out how can I make the AJAX-retrieved links working.
This is how I try to form the HTML code which must be added to the page as the result of AJAX response.
<?php
//some selections from the database...
//all subsequent varibles are the members of $row = mysql_fetch_array($query) array;
$html_to_be_inactive =
'<li id="productID_' . $productID . '">
<a href=work.php?action=deleteFromBasket&productID=' . $productID . ' onClick="return false;">
<img src="images/delete.png" id="deleteProductID_' . $productID . '">
</a> ' . $productName . '(' . $totalItems . ' items) - $' . ($totalItems * $productPrice) . '</li>';
echo $html_to_be_inactive;
?>
And that is it, result of 'echo' appears on the page after successful AJAX request as the simple HTML, and it does nothing when I click the link.
I do not perform DOM 'append' methods as I'm not familiar with DOM yet. I can see all the elements mentioned in $thml_to_be_inactive but the link seems to be really inactive. Also this HTML is absent in the "Ctrl+U" output, I can see it only when I select "Inspect element" in the browser.
The HTML which was added manually operates the same items as usual, but I need AJAX-retrieved HTML to be working as well.
I suspect I need to perform some 'append' method via JavaScript or jQuery, but I don't know how to do it in a proper way.
Thanks.
You need to put your href in quotes.
onClick="return false;" will override the default action (go to href) of your link. You need to bind an other event to the link, or just remove `return false'.
Your links use relative paths.
You're probably inserting the HTML into a page in a different directory, breaking the relative paths.
If so, you need to switch to absolute paths.
