problem is most likely in your html not wkhtmltopdf |

this is the cakepdf configuration |
# |

'margin' => [ 'bottom' => 0, 'left' => 0, 'right' => 0, 'top' => 0 ] |

I set all margins to 0 :) |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 14:11 |
scuadra |
yes |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 14:10 |
ricksaccous |
try messing with the settings? |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 14:10 |
ricksaccous |
it probably just means some setting or something to do with page space is causing your pdf to be larger than the space it takes up on the web? |

Hello. Has somebody encountered a blank page problem using CakePDF with wkhtmltopdf engine? When I export to pdf, my pdf has 2 pages but the second is absolutely empty. |

Here are the options, which are probably on api.cakephp.org also I’d imagine |

`$this->Form->control('example', ['label' => 'Cats vs Dogs?']);` |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 14:05 |
ricksaccous |
also there's a lot of reading to do on this |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 14:05 |
ricksaccous |
you give it the label option |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 14:03 |

How can I change title for form control? |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 13:18 |
ricksaccous |
hahaha i'm going to try |

If you attend Cakefest I can tell you more about it in my talk #shamelessplug |

+1 for Vue.js |

i see |

don't have to let js takeover your whole page like the other js frameworks |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 13:13 |
admad |
vuejs js is nice if you want to spice up just parts of your html page |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 13:12 |
ricksaccous |
for this page i'm thinking one of those frameworks might actually make more sense, but yeah I never explored it very much to be honest |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 13:12 |
ricksaccous |
i'm actually working on an intricate piece right now with a lot of logic intertwined with a lot of ajax calls via jquery |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 13:11 |
admad |
i abore the js frameworks ecosystem |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 13:09 |
ricksaccous |
haha yeah i pretty much only do jquery work as well, haven't touched vuejs or any js framework either |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 13:08 |
admad |
i only do jquery work and have done bit of vuejs :slightly_smiling_face: |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 13:00 |
ricksaccous |
@admad have you ever worked on js heavy projects? you seem to work on a ton of back end work |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 12:58 |
ricksaccous |
meh, js problems |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 12:58 |
ricksaccous |
then you would have to make sure your custom submit logic is still bound but that's pretty easy to do |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 12:57 |
ricksaccous |
then you will get your errors as intended every time without having to worry about custom js logic |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 12:56 |
ricksaccous |
another thing to consider doing is re-rendering the whole form after cake has it's way with it |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 12:55 |
ricksaccous |
which i read from and apply to the form |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 12:55 |
ricksaccous |
and removing them where i need them and did set getErrors to a variable |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 12:55 |
ricksaccous |
since i'm using a custom theme i built out some js for plopping errors where i need them |

generally, it's fine UNTIL you NEED something serialized and expect it to 'just work' as implied by documentation. w/o added preconditions. :) |
# |

viewBuilder()->setOption('serialize', ...) |
# |
Aug 21st 2019, 11:47 |
admad |
setting `_serialize` vs setting the actual view vars is pretty confusing to first time users, which is why I changed it in 4.x where you have to use viewBuilder->setOption('serialize', ...)` instead |

haven't used plugins yet, but will check it out. thanks, dereuromark. |

turns out one has to have a viewVariable set first to be able to serialize it then. that was my problem. checked with _dataToSerialize() in JsonView.php |
