Topic: Replacing a variable by wordfragment (pagenumber)

Posted by k.barendrecht · 13-06-2017 - 12:14

I'm trying to replace a template variable with a pagenumber, but I'm getting a strange error (not what I would expect).

Stacktrace: https://s1.postimg.org/yhv6iiycd/Knipsel.png

From the docs:

// create a Word fragment to insert in the default header
$numbering = new WordFragment($docx, 'defaultHeader');
// set some formatting options
$options = array('textAlign' => 'right',
'bold' => true,
'sz' => 14,
'color' => 'B70000',
);
$numbering->addPageNumber('numerical', $options);
$docx->addHeader(array('default' => $numbering));

My implementation: (where $this is an instance of CreateDocxFromTemplate)

  function addPageNumberingToDocument()
    {
        // create a Word fragment
        $numbering = new WordFragment($this);
        $options = [
            'textAlign' => 'right',
            'bold' => false,
            'sz' => 14,
            'color' => '000000'
        ];
        $numbering->addPageNumber('numerical', $options);

        // Replace variables(pagenumber) in header and footer
        $this->replaceVariableByWordFragment(['pagenumber' => $numbering], ['target' => 'header']);
        $this->replaceVariableByWordFragment(['pagenumber' => $numbering], ['target' => 'footer']);

    }

How should I go about replacing a variable with a pagenumber?

Hello,

Sorry but we're unable to replicate the issue.

Please run this code standalone (using the classes from phpdocx without doing changes):

<?php

require_once 'classes/CreateDocx.inc';

$docx = new CreateDocxFromTemplate('TemplateWordFragmentsTarget.docx');

$numbering = new WordFragment($docx);
$options = [
    'textAlign' => 'right',
    'bold' => false,
    'sz' => 14,
    'color' => '000000'
];
$numbering->addPageNumber('numerical', $options);

$docx->replaceVariableByWordFragment(['VAR_HEADER_3' => $numbering], ['target' => 'header']);
$docx->replaceVariableByWordFragment(['VAR_FOOTER_2' => $numbering], ['target' => 'footer']);

$docx->createDocx('output');

You may find the TemplateWordFragmentsTarget.docx in the examples/files folder. Do you get the same error?

Regards.

Not sure what went wrong. After changing the structure the error didnt occur anymore. I'm now calling the method from another class instead of my CreateDocx-wrapper and it works as intended.
