Content with $ sign not printed correctly to PDF

[Siv]

Am using message template to print some content to PDF. The content having amount with $ sign. The content printed to PDF correctly but amount not displayed correctly.
e.g : amount like $200.00 but displayed as 00.00

Is it issue with civicrm or am doing something wrong?

Thanks,
Siv

Hi,

I tested by going to a contact page, Action -> Print PDF Letter, then wrote "Test $200." in the message content, and generated the PDF. It worked as expected.

Which version of CiviCRM is it?
Can you reproduce on the demo site? https://civicrm.org/go/demo
Can you provide more details on the template content?

Thanks,
Mathieu

Thanks for your reply.

CiviCRM Version am using is : 4.3.5

Sample template content :  <div>{data.policy}</div>

It's working fine When i put content directly into the template but When i assign the content to variable and use it in template only getting this issue.

Seems like a custom token? People often write similar tokens, for example, to count the year-to-date donation amount. It should work.

Unless you can reproduce on the demo site, with the current version (4.5), I'm afraid that's asking a bit much from community support.

Good luck,
Mathieu

Civicrm running the below script for  replacing template variable by corresponding value.

preg_replace(http://php.net/manual/en/function.preg-replace.php) has special meaning for $n or ${n}. So that only number with $ replaced by preg_replace.
We can solve this issue by adding '\' before the $. Advice me if you have any other way to fix this in code itself.

$token = '\{data.policy(\|([^\}]+?))?\}'; // Template variable
$value = 'Amount: $15.00'; // Value for the template variable
$str = '<div>{data.policy}</div>'; // Template content
$str = preg_replace("/([^\{])?$token/", "\${1}$value", $str); // Replacing template variable by value

Any help on this?

[Michael McAndrew]

So is this a token hook implementation?

Any chance you can link to / paste both hooks implementations in full to help people help you?

[Siv]

No. It's not token hook implementation.
The below code to show how token replacement happening in civicrm.
eg:
Custom token used in my template is {data.policy} and the value is "Some text amount : $15.00".
Token replaced as "Some text amount : .00"  // $15 - removed

$token = '\{data.policy(\|([^\}]+?))?\}'; // Template variable
$value = 'Amount: $15.00'; // Value for the template variable
$str = '<div>{data.policy}</div>'; // Template content
$str = preg_replace("/([^\{])?$token/", "\${1}$value", $str); // Replacing template variable by value

[Michael McAndrew]

Custom token used in my template is {data.policy}

if this isn't coming via a hook, how is it getting there?!  In what file(s) is / are the code you have pasted below?
