Topic: Importstyles issue

Posted by pwctechnicalsecurity · 29-03-2021 - 11:28

Hi,

I am encountering an issue with the importStyles function:

ErrorException

Undefined variable $name

Classes/Phpdocx/Create/CreateDocx.php:7196

I am following the simple example as outlined on https://www.phpdocx.com/api-documentation/layout-and-general/import-styles-from-a-Word-document-with-PHP.

The source DocX holds the paragraph styles: MatrixBullet, MatrixIndicator and MatrixTitle - parseStyles showed that both the ID and name are identical. I have tried both:

$docx->importStyles(app_path('Segments/_Default/Matrix/Matrix.docx'), 'merge', array('pStyle' => 'MatrixBullet'));

as well as:

$docx->importStyles(app_path('Segments/_Default/Matrix/Matrix.docx'), 'merge', array('MatrixBullet'));

Both result in the abovementioned error.

Any suggestions?

PS: using the namespace, premium version of PHPDocX 11.

Hello,

Please apply the following minor change and try again:

Edit Classes/Phpdocx/Create/CreateDocx.php and go to that line (7196).
Add the following code:

if (!isset($name)) {
  $name = 'nl' . $listId;
}

before line 7196.

This is the code to be used after applying the previous change:

$listStyleXML = str_replace('<w:abstractNum w:abstractNumId="0"', '<w:abstractNum w:abstractNumId="' . $originalAbstractNumId . '"', $listStyleXML);
if (!isset($name)) {
  $name = 'nl' . $listId;
}
self::$customLists[$name]['id'] = $listId;
self::$customLists[$name]['wordML'] = $listStyleXML;

It seems you are trying to import a custom paragraph style with a numbering style and $name is not being initializated, so you are getting that PHP notice. The previous code generates a random one when $name is not set. We have moved the post to the dev team to consider including this same change.

Regards.
