tcpdf configuration |
Hi,
I'm using tcpdf 6.4.1 with Codeigniter 4. It works without any problems. There are a few changes in the configuration that I need: For example, I have changed the definition for PDF_MARGIN_TOP in vendor/tecnickom/tcpdf/config. I would prefer to leave the vendor directory untouched and keep those changes inside my /app directory. Any ideas how this can be done?

When you start using the tcpdf library, you initiate a new tcpdf object: PHP Code: $pdf = new TCPDF(PDF_PAGE_ORIENTATION, PDF_UNIT, PDF_PAGE_FORMAT, true, 'UTF-8', false); and then you can manipulate it's properties through the TCPDF class methods. The property you refer to is defined in the config file as a constant: PHP Code: define ('PDF_MARGIN_TOP', 27); But as described in the documentation, you can change it through the TCPDF method SetMargins: PHP Code: $pdf->SetMargins(PDF_MARGIN_LEFT, PDF_MARGIN_TOP, PDF_MARGIN_RIGHT); Instead of using the defaults (as in the example line above) you can use your own numbers - all or part of them: PHP Code: $pdf->SetMargins(PDF_MARGIN_LEFT, 33, PDF_MARGIN_RIGHT);

In my case, I want to set K_TCPDF_CALLS_IN_HTML to true to be able to use the tcpdf tag in HTML.

It should be done before the library is initiated (before the $pdf = new...) so that when the lib config is read, it finds the global variable set and does not create it anew (see the config file on how it is set: https://github.com/tecnickcom/TCPDF/blob...g.php#L227 )

Then, I added this new config file in composer.json: Code: "autoload": { Finally, I did a "composer dump-autoload" to update the autoloader. All configuration changes can be done in app/Config/tcpdf_config.php now.
