what is the specific error? this is strange...

IMPORTANT: we are moving this site to a new server. please, consider answering us directly at joomlafinances@gmail.com, because last entries in the forum (those made today and tomorrow) could be lost

I get the:
Not Found

The requested URL /hoagrandvenetian/5-2012-1.dompdf was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Just found out the PDF icon works fine on the backend, but it does not work on the front end...
any idea?

it's a SEF issue, no doubt.
your SEF engine is translating the PDF links to ".dompdf".. isn't it?
this should be easy to solve just by changing a little code thing.
if you don't mind editing PHP code, please do this:

open /components/com_invoices/helpers/helpers.php and go to line 104, and write this:

$url .= "&format=dompdf";

does this solve the problem?

No it did not solve the problem
Not Found

The requested URL /hoagrandvenetian/9-2012-1.dompdf&format=dompdf was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

This is the URL:
http://hoagrandvenetian.com/hoagrandvenetian/9-2012-1.dompdf&format=dompdf

Something silly probably in your code?
I just added $url .= "&format=dompdf"; to line 104 as sugested...

thanks

ok, I see. well let me try one thing.. but I need access (because othewise I'm not allowed to see the invoice...) can you send me access to my email?

Did send credentials for front end, please let me know if you find the problem.

What fixed this as I am having the same issue.

DomPDf won't appear if you have your magic_quotes_gpc on your PHP directives turned to ON. it should be Off... is it?

It is set to off

Ok.. And what's your PHP version?

I have PHP Ver 5.3.3-7

that's good. then it's the magic_quotes_gpc.. it has to be. I mean, maybe you think it's Off but the instance you're running is loading a php.ini in which is ON.

what does your Joomla backend say? (on global configuration -> PHP info)

Here is what my Joomla backend says:


Setting Value

Safe Mode Off
Open basedir None
Display Errors Off
Short Open Tags On
File Uploads On
Magic Quotes Off
Register Globals Off
Output Buffering On
Session Save Path /var/lib/php5
Session Auto Start 0
XML Enabled Yes
Zlib Enabled Yes
Native ZIP Enabled Yes
Disabled Functions None
Mbstring Enabled Yes
Iconv Available Yes

In my case the ownership of the files caused the problem. I uploaded the Dompdf as root ..

Not sure if this will help

thanks for the info but there are actually 3 "magic quotes" variable., the one called magic_quotes_gpc is the important one...

maybe if you can give me access to your site I'll be able to see what's going on...

I gave you access and sent you the login info.

Hi,
i have the same problem with "invoice manager".
The magic quotes are off, the ver of PHP is 5.3.16. From backend is all ok, but not in frontend.

How can i fix it?

Tnx
Andrea

the dompdf folder is correctly uploaded? where did you upload it?

Hi Germinal,

this is the folder: components/com_invoices/helpers/dompdf

thi is the error: The requested URL /xxx/xxx-xxxxxxx/66-52.dompdf was not found on this server.

from the backend is ok, this is only in frontend

this is very strange. it's very strange that PDF creation works on backend but not on frontend..

could you send me access (joomla) to the site?

i send you a mail immediately

news? suggestions?

If you are having this problem turn off the following setting

Global Configuration >>> Site >>> Adds Suffix to URL

That will solve it
