Hello,

I would like to create a PDF File from a category, which all events on it. One Event on one site and on the first the disription of the categorie and for second page an index, then the events.

Hello Andreas,

This should be possible with Phoca PDF and enable print within the component.

As I understand Phoca PDF I need a plugin.

Is there a Phoca PDF Plugin for jEvents?

No, you just download and install the PhocaPDF plugin from PHoca it has nothing to do with JEvents.

It mearly PDF's the print view.

Hello,

do you use Phoca PDF? I installed the compontent Phoca PDF and the plugin for content and it only shows the pdf sign at joomla content but at no other component. There should be a plugin for virtalmart, but I did not found it.

So I think you need a plugin for the different component.

Hello Andreas,

Yes you are correct.

You would need to preform a template override, please see:

http://www.jevents.net/jevents-15-topme ... jevents-15

With the defaultviewhelperheader16.php in the JEvents views helper folder.

I have not used it in JEvents as it is a very specialized request.

Furthermore, I am not sure how PhocaPDF would handle JEvents CSS / HTML.

You could alternatively use google chrome and its built in PDF Printer. Enable printing in JEvents, click Print and the page comes up to print. Just click Print to PDF. But this will only be able for you to generate a file and not for all your users.

I still have the problem, that it should come out like a "ebook" with all events , title and description, in it. I think I have to look at it much closer then I thought.

Thanks for your help.
