CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

Hi all,

I have a small question that I can not figure out.

My use case:

1) I recorded a contribution in civicrm

2) Then I want to print a receipt, I tried to use the standard functionality but I was missing some filds I end up using Thank you letter for contribution.

3) I defined a message template with all the fields that I want to include.

4) I print the form.

This worked perfect until I wanted to include some smarty logic.  (Basically to show a text + custom field) if the custom field exist!.

My code in HTLM Source Code is something like:

<p style="text-align: right">Salta, {date.date_long}</p>

<p>{assign var=LastName value= &quot;{contribution.custom_25}&quot;} {assign var=Empty value=&#39;0&#39;} {if $LastName neq $Empty}</p>

<p>{/literal}</p>

<p>RECIBO N: {contribution.custom_25}</p>

<p>{/if}</p>


So if I print the PDF Form with the above code I receive: Server Error.

I have read some post which explained that depending on the editor you may have problems in Smart (And suggested changing the editor)

I have civicrm + joomla and I change the editor and I still have the same problem.

If I change the &quot; per " in HTML Code (And Print de PDF) the message and the logic works perfect.

My questions are:

1) Is there any way to tell smart to interpret &quot; as "?

2) How show I proceed to save the HTML code without the &quot;?

(As I can see the HTML allows to include " in example: <p style="text-align:.....)

Any help will be apreciated!,


Kind regards,
Federico

Thanks Donald for your prompt replay.

I am using the expresion you mentioned. I use the HTML Code editor <p>.... but when I switch back to Plain HTML the editor converts the " in &quot; (Sorry if this part was not explained correctly). So when the user tries to send a pdf I have a server error.

(If I correct the HTML Code with " and press PDF letter the letter works fine)

How could I avoid the edito converting the " in &quot; which is not interpreted in Smarty?.


Kind regards,
Federico

How or where should I change the Editor? In joomla? or it is configured within Civicrm? (From joomla I tried and it has no efect  !.

Thanks for your help.
Kind regards,
Federico
