    Hello,

    I have several templates optimize with optimizeTemplate();

    In these templates I have charts which I need to replace/fullfil with values.

    After all that the templates are merged to create one document

    $Docx = new CreateDocxFromTemplate('../Template/Optimize/Template.docx');
$Values = array(
    // Values
);

$Docx->replaceVariableByText($Values, array('raw' => true));

array_push($DocsToMerge, $Docx->createDocx());

    How can I replace/add values to the existing charts? 

    Thanks

    Hello,

    You can find an example on the same API page and all options explained. From this page:

    source: Path to the docx.

    target: Path to the resulting docx.

    You just need to set the template with the DOCX to be changed as source, the output DOCX as target and the last option (data) is an array with the new data. We recommend you to check the example available on the API page, that is the same than the included in the package (exmaples folder).

    Regards.

    So it's not possible to modify the chart within the stream from CreateDocxFromTemplate(),  without creating a new document ?

    Hello,

    You need to create the DOCX to be able to use replaceChartData. The current version of this method only works with DOCX files.

    Regards.

    Hello. 

    It works well if I'm using createDocxAndDownload() after replacing chart data.

    But when I'm using MultiMerge() I got this error

    Warning: rename(datos9.xlsx.docx,datos9.xlsx): No such file or directory in /Project/PHPDocx/classes/DocxUtilities.inc on line 4078

Warning: unlink(datos9.xlsx): No such file or directory in /Project/PHPDocx/classes/DocxUtilities.inc on line 4083

     

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    It works when I remove the display error but will this cause a problem when generating my document?

    Hello,

    We're unable to replicate your issue. We have tested it using MultiMerge and then replaceChartData with the DOCX output and it works perfectly.

    Maybe you are mixing streams and DOCX files when generating the documents? or there's some missing rw access?, anyway, we recommend you to open the output you get to know if the chart data is replaced correctly.

    Regards.

    I resolve it thanks.

    I have an other question . In my template I have a chart with 4 bars and sometimes the chart will only have 3 bars .

    Is it possible to remove the last bar with replacechartdata()?

    Hello,

    replaceChartData replaces all data of a chart, but it doesn't allow to remove specific values such as the last bar, you need to replace the full data.

    Regards.

    Hello,

    And how can I do that?

    Posted by admin  · 12-04-2018 - 06:15

    Hello,

    Sorry but there's no method or option to remove specific values of a chart. We move the request to the dev team to consider adding support in a future release of phpdocx.

    Regards.
