Hi
as far as I know, there is no built-in mechanism to genericaly pass a
variable value to a block.
so you will need to extend the exportPdf and add some specific case to
handle you block.
this is only an easy hack but it seems to work, im sure there are other way
to do it
1) in the exportPdf.ini, write the connection string with %s where you want
to write the condition values
blocks.copyright.content = "db~pgsql://xxx:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/demo_plugins~select
name from people where id = %s"
2) extend the exportPdf plugin(see doc
(http://www.cartoweb.org/doc/cw3.4/xhtml/dev.newplugin.html#dev.newplugin.adapting.extending)
you can also directly modify the ClientExportPdf.php but thats not very
clean)
and override the createBlock function.
all you have to do is copy the function content and simply slightly modify
the lines where you have
if ($this->blocks[$id]->type == 'text' &&
(stristr($this->blocks[$id]->content, 'file~') ||
stristr($this->blocks[$id]->content, 'db~'))) {
simply add something like this
if ($id == 'your_block_name') {
$this->blocks[$id]->content =
sprintf($this->blocks[$id]->content, $your_value);
}
now all you have to do is to get the $your_value but you should be able to
recover it from handleHttpPostRequest or from session.

Hi All,
Don't know if someone is using it
I've been ask to print in pdf a result of a query.
As it was indicate in documentation we can make a
blocks.myText.content = "db~pgsql://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/dbname~select
column from table where x=(some value) AND y=(some
other value);
What I need to know is how can I have dynamic value for the x= et y= ?
Typically how to give the x,y top left and the x,y bottom right
coordinate of the pdf.
Any clue, help or more information are welcome ...
