• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

List view pagination and grouping with pdf output

I have a list with many elements. I needed to create multiple list views showing different elements in each list view much like creating different reports based on the collected information. The information displayed in these lists often needs to printed out so I added in the dompdf plugin. I love that plugin and it works quite well but it does have one shortcoming in that it only seems to render whatever is displayed on the screen in your list results. So if your results are paginated to show 10 results per page then your pdf output might be more than one page long but will only have 10 records displayed within the pdf document. You could output multiple pdf documents but when you print those off it doesn't really look so great. So my issue was removing the pagination. Simple right - just set the results per page to zero and that should fix it. The problem was that my list was setup to be grouped by a given element and no matter what I tried, I could not remove the pagination. Finally I tried removing the Group By option and I was able to display all of the records in a single page. On a whim, I tried to use the Group By option on the front-end page and it did apply the proper grouping and displayed all of the records at once and the pdf output looks good.

So I'm not sure if I'm missing something or not, but I don't know why adding the "group by" option under the lists settings disabled the pagination changes, while adding it on the front end does not. Ideally, I shouldn't have to instruct the end user to select the Group option before exporting the PDF.

Anyone ever encounter this?
 
We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
