Ticket PDF left and right margins

I want to reduce the left and right margins on the PDF ticket but I'm not having any luck.

Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

Andrew

I changed the values in the file:

components > com_eventbooking > tcpdf > tcpdf_autoconfig.php

to

if (!defined('PDF_MARGIN_LEFT')) {

define ('PDF_MARGIN_LEFT', 5);

}

if (!defined('PDF_MARGIN_RIGHT')) {

define ('PDF_MARGIN_RIGHT', 5);

}

but it hasn't had any effect. Then again, I'm just guessing at the moment.

It would be great to be able to set the margins of the tickets, invoices etc in the Joomla back-end.

The background image will position correctly in the top left corner, so I'm guessing that starting the actual content there as well shouldn't be difficult even if it's done in different ways.

Thanks

Hi Andrew

Working with PDF is quite difficult, so for this kind of requirement, I would need our support staff to try to make the change until it works

So please submit a support ticket sending us super admin account of the site and tell us exactly what you want to change so that my dev can try to implement the change for you

This is an issue which I've had since using the component and I think I must be missing something really obvious.

In the following file:

components > com_eventbooking > helper > ticket.php

there is the following line of code:

$pdf->SetMargins(PDF_MARGIN_LEFT, 5, PDF_MARGIN_RIGHT);

I want to have the default left and right margins to be 2, so I edit this file and upload it and all is fine.

However because you are constantly offering us great updates, this file is constantly overwritten by the new version, so I download the updated file, overwrite the values and upload the file again.

Whilst this isn't a huge task, I use the component on a few different sites and I can't help but feel there must be a more efficient way of doing this.

Is there a way I can get these values set so that are not overwritten by updates in the future?

Thanks

Andrew

Hi

We don't have it configurable at the moment. However, you can try to implement it using override. See eventbookingdoc.joomservices.com/develop...thods-helper-methods for instructions

If you implement it using override, it won't be lost when you update to future releases of the extension
