I am from a non coding background so python, web2py is very new to me. I am
trying to send html content using json and then use that in controller to
generate pdf. If I am able to send json data and then use it in controller
function, i should be able to get the pdf. More details below. I am missing
out on correct json syntax , encoding and decoding.
My app needs to export textarea content (using RTE redactor) to pdf. I get
html content from textarea (redactor), can you please advice me on how to
use pyfpdf to generate a pdf file on button click.
I don't know how to get the html content (images and text) on button click
in view to generate pdf using appreport.
I was able to use app-report to generate a pdf (using PISA, PYPDF does not
work) from an existing html file (without css) if html file has css it
throws an error,
***<class 'sx.w3c.cssParser.CSSParseError'> Terminal function expression
expected closing ')':: (u'Alpha(Opacity', u'=0); }\n\n\n\n.ui-state-')***
This might be due to a mistake in the controller code:
def myreport():
html = response.render('myreport.html', dict())
return plugin_appreport.REPORTPISA(html = html)
------------------------------
Another thing I tried was passing the html from my view to the controller
using ajax post (in Javascript). Redactor is the textarea RTE I am using
and alert gives me the desired html result.
View:
function getContent() {
var t= jQuery('#redactor_content').getCode();
alert(t);
jQuery.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "http://127.0.0.1:8000/Test50/default/myreport2";,
data: "{g : 'jQuery('#redactor_content').getCode()'}"
});
}
Controller:
def myreport2():
g = request.get_vars
html = response.render(g)
return plugin_appreport.REPORTPISA(html = html)
Due to my less knowledge in coding , I am not able to figure out and
correct my mistake. I will be thankful if anybody can help me with this
problem.
