Summary06748: In PDF export the token table fields placeholders are not replaced
Description

If I use in my questions the token table fields placeholders (e.g. {TOKEN:FIRSTNAME}, {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1} etc.), when the user prints the suvey at end they are correctly replaced in the onscreen printout, but if the user exports the survey answers in PDF with the button, he gets a PDF with the placeholders unreplaced (e.g. in the form {TOKEN:FIRSTNAME}, {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1} )

Steps To Reproduce
  • create a survey using the token table fields placeholders, with the option to be printed and exported in PDF by the users
  • activate the survey
  • let a user completely fill the survey
  • he follows the link for printing the answers
  • in the print answers page he presses the button for exporting to PDF
  • the output PDF cotains unreplaced token table fields placeholders
Additional Information

I did by myself a little patch that solves the problem. Maybe it's not the cleanest solution, but it works fine. I hope this can be of any help and maybe introduced in future release.

in file
application\controllers\PrintanswersController.php

at line 212 substitute
$pdf->intopdf(flattenText($fname[0].$fname[1],false,true).": ".$fname[2]);

with
$pdf->intopdf(flattenText(templatereplace($fname[0]).$fname[1],false,true).": ".$fname[2]);

I've called templatereplace to let the function translate the placeholders in the field. In my case the placeholders are just in the survey question text of "text display" type, so I translated just $fname[0] and I din't need to tranlsate also $fname[1] and $fname[2], but I think for general use you have to templatereplace both.

Hello, I've uploaded a sample PDF export with the placeholders unreplaced like they appeared before my little patch.

I'm sorry I can't export the survey, it says
"XMLWriter class not compiled into PHP, please contact your system administrator"
but I can't put hands on the PHP installation.
Can I help you in some other way?

I would say just create a test survey with just one text-display question with a {TOKEN:FIRSTNAME} field in the "Question" field and try to answer and export in PDF...
