So I am trying to convert a certain type of page view into PDF (and also CSV's but thats another hurdle). The tricky part is that I am using Joomla 3.0 so the ever popular PhocaPDF extension will not work.
So far I have tried using http://docs.joomla.org/Creating_PDF_views, but it ends up throwing errors when referring to JRENDER()
.
Also I have tried using this extension http://rootprogress.com/index.php/downloads/root-pdf-content
Which I can get to work but only for the article view. I can tell that this plug-in gets its code using DOMPDF and also grabs the $article from JOOMLA! so I have no idea where it is grabbing the $article variable from (so I can reassign it to my new view).
Has anyone had any success with implementing a PDF generator in Joomla 3.0?
