Shortcodes

• [pdfcrowd_generate] – Generates one or more pdf’s from current page/post or from a specific url or by fetching data from a post(s)/page(s)

[pdfcrowd_generate] attributes

• debug_mode – sets the shortcode in debug mode which prints everything relevant for troubleshooting purposes.
• skip_shortcode – if having several shortcodes and you want to test/debug one of them you could set this to yes for every shortcode you don’t want to debug
• show_clientinfo – when having debug_mode set to yes , show clients info as well (including username and password. Use with caution!)
• use_ssl – set yes if you want to make a connection over ssl and no if you don’t want to make a connection over ssl. If nothing set set, then the plugin identifies if your site is on ssl or not.
• convert_urls – convert urls (set to current if you want to create pdf of current page/post. If having several urls separate them by using semicolon)
• out_files – what filename(s) to save as. If having having several urls defined, add equal many files (defined in convert_urls) separated by semicolon
• overwrite_pdf – yes/no/datachange – yes = always overwrite existing PDF, no = never overwrite existing PDF, datachange = only create/overwrite PDF when data changes (for usage with ACF)
• path – this set the base path after the upload path of WordPress site (eg. pdfcrowd = /wp-content/uploads/pdfcrowd)
• create_downloadlink – create a downloadable link to the created pdf
• targetblank – set yes to open download link (pdf) in new windows, else no
• html_class – if you want to style the downloadable link use this class
• link_titles – what to show in link(s) creating a downloadlink. Several link should be separated by semicolon. Make sure number of titles equals number of files
• data_includeonlyfieldtrue – if you have a select field (true/false) then include post only when this field is true
• data_cpt – fetch data from specific custom post type (default to normal POST)
• data_postid – data from specific post/page – id. If setting this to all, then use all posts defined by data_cpt
• data_fields – tell name of fields that should be used when fetching data from a specific post/page
• data_acfkeys – if using ACF, then tell key (this is important) of each value
• add_related_fields – if you want to include a field in array (probably acf repeater field) that is related to another field
• exclude_subfields – Tell what subfield(names) to exclude (probably from acf repeater) in the PDF
• autosum_fields – auto summarize every column in subarrays (probably repeater-field)
• css_file – if specified, it must be a link with full path to a css file that is publicy available. If set to theme the plugin uses style.css in the (child)themes directory.
• last_shortcode – If using data_fields then value of this must be set to yes or no that tells if this is the last shortcode on page or not
• use_posttitle – use post-title as name (Set [title] in template)
• vat – used if calculation used for vat / after vat
• pagebreak_afterpost – set yes/no for pagebreaking after each post
• max_pages – sets max number of pages in generated pdf document
• refresh_pdf – removed since 1.28
• nrformat_keyfields – specify numberformat of given field(s)
• nrformat_autosumfields – same as nrformat_keyfields but this only affects special tag fields that calculates sum (that starts with crowdpdf- below)
• roundup_totalaftervat – do rounding of total after vat been calculated
• generate_fromhtml – generate custom html. This html could be created anywhere. In shortcode(not so practical though). In code: Just create a new instance of this plugin and call function generatepdf_from_html( $attrs, $html_content = ”) $attr is used for setting values in key/pair instead of shortcut and $html_content is the html you want to use for createion of PDF

Special template tags

• [title] – fetches post title (if use_posttitle set to yes)
• [crowdpdf-total] – calculates sum of a specific field (in subarray/repeater-field) (if autosum_fields is set to yes)
• [crowdpdf-totalvat] – calculates vat of sum based on value given in attribute vat (if autosum_fields is set to yes)
• [crowdpdf-totalaftervat] – calculates total sum (total net + vat) (if autosum_fields is set to yes)
• [crowdpdf-totalaftervat-roundupcompare] – if using roundup, then this could be used to show how much rounding of the price is affected ( crowdpdf-totalaftervat – (crowdpdf-total + crowdpdf-totalvat) )
