Re: PDF Catalog Generator Mod (beta testers required)
We generated example PDF for default x-cart store installation: http://x-cart-customization.com/pdf/xcc-demo.pdf (approx. 2 Mb)
Still need more volunteers :D |
Re: PDF Catalog Generator Mod (beta testers required)
Nice looking mod, does it work with variants?

Product options and variants will be added in the next version of the mod. |
Re: PDF Catalog Generator Mod (beta testers required)
Hi Holub,
Interesting idea (it is a good alternative to people manually making a downloadable catalogue) - looks good :) Seems perhaps options and variants are not noted / shown for each product in pdf - it would be nice to add those as well. Cheers - Asiaplay |

Re: PDF Catalog Generator Mod (beta testers required)
Thankyou.
I've installed the mod, very easy. Only 2 files to upload and no code to change. Will the final version have more configerable options. At the moment the pictures are hige, some items take up one page which makes for alot of pages of someone was to print it out. Out of stock items dont appear in the list either. I have a catagory with one item in, which is out of stock. The catagory is still there but the item is not due to it being out of stock. I'd want the catalogue to list all products, wether in stock or not. Once you click create PDF, it takes a few seconds as you'd expect and you then get prompted to save or open the file. Would it be possible to code in a place to save the file. So you can have a link in the shop front do download PDF, then when you re-generate the pdf for new stock it automatically saves to the location. Saving time in uploading the new file. |
Re: PDF Catalog Generator Mod (beta testers required)
Thanks for feedback! More configurable options will be included into the first release, we just compiling the features list from your requests. Please send me the pdf file you have got.

Hi,
We see the problem with image size. This is because you use large images for thumbnails (e.g.) http://www.homeworldz.co.uk/xcart/image.php?type=T&id=16161 Quote:

Re: PDF Catalog Generator Mod (beta testers required)
New features added:
- Ability to disable images (decrease PDF file size greatly) - New view is added - table view (SKU, Title, Price). This is god for stores with large invenory. Example pdf file: http://x-cart-customization.com/pdf/xcc-demo-table-view.pdf Still need more beta testers! |
Re: PDF Catalog Generator Mod (beta testers required)

Hi, Yeah.. I let xcart resize the thumbnails. Could you add an auto resize option to the code? |
Re: PDF Catalog Generator Mod (beta testers required)
Quote:
At this moment we consider this not reasonable for the first release. Resize option will load our PDF server greatly. But we consider this to be added in next releases. |

Couldnt that be done on the shop owners server..? In my case (maybe I've done things wrong) it would take me ages then to resize all my pics. Maybe you could call the image from the thumbnail directory ? |
Re: PDF Catalog Generator Mod (beta testers required)
Beta 3 is a improvment.
Can you also add out of stock items aswell? |
Re: PDF Catalog Generator Mod (beta testers required)
For example... https://www.homeworldz.co.uk/xcart/images/cache/d037860f3e5737d55d59ac2a1cbb8f81.jpg
I appreciate that Im using tella firma's image mod so the url may be different for a generic xcart site.. |

Out of stock items option will be added next week, with very large update. As for the images, we are searching the way to work with tella-firma mod. |
Re: PDF Catalog Generator Mod (beta testers required)
Looks very good, and is definitely something we can use as we spend hundred's of hours generating catalogs each quarter. Would love to help beta test.
Thanks, Malcolm Quote:
