Print PDF template start and end date list

[germanoalves]

Hey;


Is it possible to insert in the PDF layout of the list these filter dates (start and end) that are marked in the image below? If so, how would I do it?




Thanks!

Filter values are in
$this->filters['table___element']->displayValue

Hey @troester ! Thanks for your help!


is it possible to format these return dates?

I tried to do it that way:
"<?php echo $converted = date("d-m-Y", strotime($this->filters['table___element']->displayValue))?>"

but to no avail.

Thank you!

Depends on your filter settings

Var_dump is always a way to see what you get.
e.g. range filter -> two comma separated values etc.

sorry @troester but i didn't understand some points of the answer

Depends on your filter settings

"I'm using the ranger filter"


and I didn't understand this part

e.g. range filter -> two comma separated values etc.

thanks

Filter values are in
$this->filters['table___element']->displayValue
e.g. for a date range filter
Code (Text):
echo $this->filters['test___date_time']->displayValue;
will give something like
2020-07-15 16:30:36, 2021-07-22 16:30:36

I already have this information, thank you and it already worked, but I need to format this return content, example, year and month (Y-m) only.

You cannot format multiple dates separated by comma at once, but only individually.
So, you could e.g. first explode() them into an array, then loop through it.

Perfect @lousyfool ! Thanks!

There can be several reasons: e.g. webpage layout might not be suitable for A4 format; you need just part of the information in the pdf and not all the html; end-user doesn't have pdf printer installed or is not able to use browser's "save as pdf" function etc., etc., etc.

Why not print the select pages to pdf within your pdf viewing software? Why does anyone need a web browser for a simple task like this?
