Topic: Add a pager in the footer

Posted by nicolas · 05-09-2011 - 12:10

Hi,

I need a more advanced pager in the footer.

Indeed, we can only have the number of the current page, not [b]the total pages of a document[/b].

Moreover, the "pagerAlignment" argument can not be customized. I need to [b]write the number of the current page in a defined place[/b] on the page. The position should be set on the abscissa and ordinate.
I have the same need to write the number of total pages of a document.

So, four args should be addeed:
currentX: position (px)
currentY: position (px)
totalX: position (px)
totalY: position (px)

I am not the only one having this needs, see the comments of the addFooter method: http://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/add_footer_word_document

Best regards,

Hello,

We're studying how to implement this feature. You can also contact with support to get a custom development.

You can insert the WordML for NUMPAGES.



$footer_html = "This is some text or html for the footer.  Page PAGE_NUM of TOTAL_PAGES";

$footer = $docx->embedHTML($footer_html, array('rawWordML' => true, 'target' => 'defaultFooter'));

$footer = str_replace('PAGE_NUM', '', $footer);

$footer = str_replace('TOTAL_PAGES', '', $footer);

$footer_fragment = $docx->createWordMLFragment(array($footer));

$docx->addFooter(array('default' => $footer_fragment));

The WordML got stripped out, trying again.



$footer_html = "This is some text or html for the footer.  Page PAGE_NUM of TOTAL_PAGES";

$footer = $docx->embedHTML($footer_html, array('rawWordML' => true, 'target' => 'defaultFooter'));

$footer = str_replace('PAGE_NUM', '<w:fldSimple w:instr="PAGE"/>', $footer);

$footer = str_replace('TOTAL_PAGES', '<w:fldSimple w:instr="NUMPAGES"/>', $footer);

$footer_fragment = $docx->createWordMLFragment(array($footer));

$docx->addFooter(array('default' => $footer_fragment));

You may simply create a WordML fragment with addPageNumber and insert it inside any word element that later can be exported to the footer.

Hello,

Please check included examples within your PHPDocX version. I see you are using the trial version, so you can check the examples and the online documentation.

Thanks, I check the examples, but I can't find what I am looking for.

I want:

"<b>Beauty Formated Footer text {NUMBER_PAGE_HERE} more</b> pretty text whatever...."

I tried different ways, but nothing its working.

It's possible or not?

Regards.
