Broken link to PDF... was created by liaskas
Hello...
we are trying to allow users to take their submitted form in pdf format.

We have set for our form

Text Result: Thank you message message
Display PDF download link: YES
PDF Template: selected the appropriate template from the list.

Now when a user submits a form he is returned to a page with the thank you message and right bellow it a "Download submitted form as PDF file" link (that has the following URL assigned: domain.com/index.php?option=com_visforms...2b26d556c08a695fd4=1 ).

When this link is clicked, the user is transferred to our site's first page and the browser URL shows...
domain.com/component/visforms/?view=visf...d=1&fid=1&Itemid=101

Probably we have set something wrong! Can you please advise?

Thank you in advance

Hello liaskas,
thanks for your input!
I tried to reproduce your error, and could reproduce an error but with a slightly different appearance.
If the selected pdf template is missing or simply empty, you encounter an error page at the mentioned URL instead of the expected pdf download:

...index.php/component/visforms/?view=visformrenderpdf&format=raw&id=2&fid=1&Itemid=101
The requested page can't be found.
An error has occurred while processing your request.
You may not be able to visit this page because of: ...
Call to a member function find() on bool

Possibly, the once in the form configuration selected template is now missing or simply empty.
In a future release of Visforms the above mentioned conditions, which both lead to an error page, will be handled correctly and user-friendly.

Hope this helps!
:idea: I recommend you the new and up-to-date documentation for Joomla 4:
docs.joomla-5.visforms.vi-solutions.de/en/docs/
Most of this also applies retrospectively to Joomla 3.
Please only ask 1 question per topic :-).

:idea: Ich empfehle Dir die neue und aktuelle Dokumentation für Joomla 4:
docs.joomla-5.visforms.vi-solutions.de/docs/
Das meiste gilt rückwirkend auch für Joomla 3.
Bitte immer nur 1 Frage pro Thema stellen :-).
