I am struggling to create a new badge template for events.

Ideally I would like to define my own page size and specify landscape orientation.

Looking at the examples here:

http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC41/Name+Badge+Administration,+Customization

I cannot see how to handle non standard paper-size or landscape orientation.

Any assistance kindly appreciated.

for landscape, look at the nametent orientation

for the non standard size, might be easier to define an existing one and set the margins accordingly?

Otherwise, you'll need to check the source code of the pdf package used, hopefully you'll find a way

Thanks for replying.

I did find this in the nametent php file:

 function pdfExtraFormat() {
    $this->pdf->setPageFormat('A4', 'L');
  }

However I also tried this and it appears to work:

    $this->format = array(
      'name' => 'Avery 5395', 'paper-size' => 'C8', 'metric' => 'mm', 'lMargin' => 1,
      'tMargin' => 1, 'NX' => 1, 'NY' => 1, 'SpaceX' => 0, 'SpaceY' => 0,
      'width' => $w, 'height' => $h, 'font-size' => 12, 'orientation' => 'landscape'
    );

Question of adding my own paper size still open.
