Download pdf

[Debi]

Hello.
Environment: I am using Fabrik 3.1, Joomla! 3 with Beez3 template.

Having spent many many hours wrapping my head around Fabrik, I am getting close to a configuration that will work for my small project.
But it does depend on being able to download the current view as a pdf file.
But....

In Firefox - When I select Download current view as PDF file in the admin View Data : a blank page with "listpdf" printed top left.
(mysite.com/administrator/index.php?option=com_fabrik&task=list.view&listid=1&format=pdf&tmpl=component)

And a blank page when I try to do the same from the front end. (mysite.com/index.php/summer-report-list/list/1/pdf?format=pdf&resetfilters=0)

Chrome gives me a server error when doing the same from front end: The website encountered an error while retrieving (mysite.com/index.php/summer-report-list/list/1/pdf?format=pdf&resetfilters=0). It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly.

And from the admin: An error has occurred.
500 View not found [name, type, prefix]: login, pdf, loginView


Is this a common issue? have I overlooked something?

Many thanks for your help.

Update on this issue: I worked it through and added the library files from github and I now have a working pdf download at the front end
However the admin pdf download is still not working.
Any advice on this please?

Have you updated all your Fabrik install from GitHub or just picked up the dompdf library? You should always upload all files from GitHub to keep your Fabrik install "in sync" and avoid issues.

jfquestiaux, I have a disastrous Joomla! 3 when installing all the files from github (joomla zip), even after refreshing all in the Extensions Manager. If I just install the Libraries folder, I have a working front end download. The admin link still gives me a blank browser window in Firefox with the words "listpdf".

I can confirm the "listpdf" in the backend, seems to be a bug/debugging output...

but GitHub update should do;
you must take the joomla3 branch
"ZIP" from https://github.com/Fabrik/fabrik/tree/joomla3
or
https://github.com/Fabrik/fabrik/zipball/joomla3

Thank you for your help, but the files I updated with were from the Joomla3 branch, the most recent update from Fabrik-fabrik-3.1b-361-g2a71764.zip, and the admin pdf download still isn't functioning.
