Fixes are in Publisher 1.03 RC 2

Regarding PDF, you can download TCPDF from GitHub, and then copy the content of the zip file into:

/class/libraries/vendor/tecnickcom/tcpdf/

and then your PDF should work without any problems.

@Mamba
Is it not better to provide tcpdf with xoops core? As you said news module needs also tcpdf

Re: Publisher and xoops 2.5.8 tests

and we already have the framework "tcpdf for xoops".

here for xoops 2.5.7 and higher:

That's extra 16MB, which I don't think people who don't plan to give their users an option to create PDF files, would appreciate

But those who plan to offer PDF, they can download themselves and just add to that location.

As Cesagonchu mentioned, there is the "streamlined" version of TCPDF done by Cedric, and of course, people are more than welcome to use it.

From our perspective there are only two requirements:

a) It is a TCPDF library (original or fork)
b) it is placed in that particular folder

Of course, the users can download the files directly, or they can take advantage of Composer (which you have to make sure that it's installed on your host), and just add this line

"tecnickcom/tcpdf":"6.*"


to the composer.json file located in:

/class/libraries/


and in the command line window issue a command:

composer update


and everything is taken care of, i.e. all libraries are updated, incl. all dependencies.

While we'll provide all the files to download, it's a good opportunity to learn more about Composer, because this is really an awesome tool, that is used by pretty much everybody!!!

Not at the moment

I just would like to release Publisher as Final, and move on to finalize other modules for XOOPS 2.5.8....

Re: Publisher and xoops 2.5.8 tests

You can not announce a module as "final", while there is this PDF generation problem.
A user will not know he needs to further manipulation to generate the pdf.
This is not meticulous.

Maybe I misunderstood your previous post

If you mean by "advertisement" simply instructions about how to download TCPDF, then of course, we'll provide the info

If you're talking about some "advertisement" feature that some programs have, that include, for example, their specific logo in the printout, then it would be an extra feature, and I am not planning to adding it...

Re: Publisher and xoops 2.5.8 tests

My English is not perfect, sorry
Yes, I spoke of the need to warn users to install the TCPDF for XOOPS framework.
This framework from Cedric, not the link to the github tcpdf that is not dedicated to xoops.
