I've started using the WhiteOctober TCPDF bundle in my symfony project but I can't figure out how to change the default configuration values, such as page format. I've tried putting that in my config.yml:
white_october_tcpdf:
tcpdf:
k_tcpdf_external_config: true
pdf_page_format: 'LETTER'
pdf_author: 'Company Name'
pdf_header_title: 'Order Confirmation'
pdf_header_string: 'Company Name'
pdf_header_logo: '%kernel.root_dir%/../web/images/logo.png'
pdf_header_logo_width: '35'
pdf_margin_header: 15
pdf_margin_footer: 15
pdf_margin_top: 25
pdf_margin_bottom: 25
pdf_margin_left: 25
pdf_margin_right: 25
but they are totally ignored when calling
$pdf = $this->get('white_october.tcpdf')->create();
in my controller. The generated PDF is still in A4 with no header and defaults margins.
Am I missing something to make the bundle take my custom configuration?
I have the same problem. Alter vendor code is not best practice. My workaround is below:
I created a new class "CustomWhiteOctoberTCPDFBundle" in my src folder.
namespace TCPDFBundle;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Bundle\Bundle;
class CustomWhiteOctoberTCPDFBundle extends Bundle
{
public function getParent()
{
return 'WhiteOctoberTCPDFBundle';
}
public function boot() {
//Put modified method as mentioned in the previous answer
}
}
On AppKernel.php put:
public function registerBundles()
{
$bundles = array(...
new WhiteOctober\TCPDFBundle\WhiteOctoberTCPDFBundle(),
new TCPDFBundle\CustomWhiteOctoberTCPDFBundle(),
You need to edit the tcpdf_config.php in the vendor/tecnick.com/tcpdf/config folder.
Add this code ...
if (preg_match("/^pdf_/i", $k)) {
if (!defined($constKey)) {
define($constKey, $v);
}
}
to the bundle file
/vendor/whiteoctober/tcpdf-bundle/WhiteOctober/TCPDFBundle/WhiteOctoberTCPDFBundle.php
The original file https://github.com/wrep/TCPDFBundle/blob/master/WrepTCPDFBundle.php
currently matches only the configuration parameters that start with ^k
The configuration options for this bundle are shown here
https://github.com/wrep/TCPDFBundle/blob/master/WrepTCPDFBundle.php
I had to add a few more configuration parameters from tcpdf_config.php that were not listed in the documentation config example above.
Here is my complete white_october_tcpdf: section in app/config/config.yml
...ober_tcpdf:
file: %kernel.root_dir%/../vendor/tecnick.com/tcpdf/tcpdf.php

tcpdf:

Well, just now I resolve the same problem:
You need to define your needed constants like mirk said,
white_october_tcpdf:
tcpdf:
.
.
.
then you need to change the class: /vendor/whiteoctober/tcpdf-bundle/WhiteOctober/TCPDFBundle/WhiteOctoberTCPDFBundle.php with this code
// All K_ and _pdf constants are required
if (preg_match("/^k_/i", $k) OR preg_match("/^pdf_/i", $k)) {
if (!defined($constKey)) {
$value = $this->container->getParameterBag()->resolveValue($v);
if (($k === 'k_path_cache' || $k === 'k_path_url_cache') && !is_dir($value)) {
$this->createDir($value);
}
define($constKey, $value);
}
}
to match both constants types.
This has been solved in version 1.1.0 of WhiteOctoberTCPDFBundle (released 21 June 2018):
Fix issue 'custom config parameters not loaded' (PR #45)
So updating your version of the bundle should now resolve this - you can add the additional configuration without also needing to make code changes.
Previously, only configuration values beginning with k_
were read, now all are.
