Hi,
Recently we've upgraded to phpdocx 4.6, now our clients are reporting this bug.
They have multiple variables in their docx wich are replaced with user name and firstname like this.
$person.name$ $person.firstname$
But the issue occurs when the variables are on the same line and the order of the variables in the array is reversed.
$variables['persone.firstname'] = "John";
$variables['persone.name'] = "Doe";
I've debugged the variable2Text function in CreateDocxFromTemplate.inc like this (after $foundNodes = $dom->xpath($query):
if($var == 'persoon.voornaam') {
echo "foundNodes :: $var - $val".PHP_EOL;
echo "$search >> $query" .PHP_EOL;
var_dump($foundNodes);
}
if($var == 'persoon.naam') {
echo "foundNodes :: $var - $val".PHP_EOL;
echo "$search >> $query" .PHP_EOL;
var_dump($foundNodes);
die;
}
This is the output:
foundNodes :: person.firstname - John
$person.firstname$ >> //w:t[text()[contains(., "$person.firstname$")]]
array(1) {
[0] =>
class SimpleXMLElement#293 (1) {
public ${0} =>
string(21) "$ $peroon.firstname$ "
}
}
foundNodes :: person.name - Doe
$person.name$ >> //w:t[text()[contains(., "$person.name$")]]
array(0) {
}
As you can see the first time it replaces "$ $person.firstname$"
So it leaves $person.name John in the dom and doesn't replace $person.name$ anymore
Do you have any solutions to fix the query?
$query = '//w:t[text()[contains(., "' . $search . '")]]';
Thx
I've tried it without replacing the firstname and only the name. And this is de debug info:
foundNodes :: person.name - Bouckaert
$persoon.naam$ >> //w:t[text()[contains(., "$person.name$")]]
array(1) {
[0] =>
class SimpleXMLElement#293 (1) {
public ${0} =>
string(16) "$person.name$ $"
}
}
As you see it finds "$person.name$ $" it seems it doesn't recognize the space between the two variables.
Hello,
Please send the DOCX to contact[at]phpdocx.com. We have done some quick tests and eveything looks correct, so we need to check the document.
Regards.
I have the same problem with a very simple template and the order of the variables is the same as in the array. I have tried the space symbol in between; but it has no effect.
My coder claims this is because I am using WORD 2007, since she says it doesn't happen on her computer. Even if that is the issue, many of my clients also are on WORD 2007 -- or earlier, What I am selling is a product on good English. This is, therefore, a major issue for me.
I certainly hope you can solve it.
Hello,
As requested previously, please send a DOCX sample to contact[at]phpdocx.com. We haven't received any DOCX that illustrate the issue yet; and the test we have done are correct.
We do all tests with Word 2007, Word 2010, LibreOffice, OpenOffice...
Regards.
