Summary17541: pdf export via plugin impossible
Description

Hello,

we are trying to create an pdf export plugin.
Unfortunately it isn't working because of a bug in the pdf.php.
The reason is that an undefined constant is used. It appears that ot doesn't work because of changes within the PHP language.

Steps To Reproduce

Call the internal class ExportSurveyResultsService
with the following parameters: $exportResponses($survey->sid, $survey->language, 'pdf, $formattingOptions, '').
It results in the attached error message.

Probably missing a PHP extension?

No, your code is wrong - EXT is defined in index.php:

define('EXT', '.php');

I have export plugin using current pdf function … but never use with command

https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/bdd2ff84d6bf436893044eae8efef207ebf2a97b/application/libraries/admin/pdf.php#L20

We don't load index : https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/bdd2ff84d6bf436893044eae8efef207ebf2a97b/index.php#L119

We need to define all of this in command action too.

Pull request can be cool :)

OUR code is wrong … in my opinion.

@ollehar: I agree with DenisChenu. It would be (at least in my opinion) better, if in the console environment the constants are provided as well. Of course we simply could define EXT, but this would mean that every plugin must define all the necessary constants. I don't believe that's a good idea.

Pull request can be cool :)

for all command action in fact.
See : https://gitlab.com/SondagesPro/mailing/sendMailCron/-/blob/master/sendMailCron.php#L1593
And for 3.X : https://gitlab.com/SondagesPro/mailing/sendMailCron/-/blob/master/sendMailCron.php#L454

  1. Lack of constant
  2. lack of some common function loaded
  3. Lack of some class loaded
  4. surely other

@dschirge, if this doesn't take more than an hour, please provide a pull request and add this to my bill.

We need this for a project which should start soon but currenty we are unable to get the PDF export working.

As a temporary solution, can we simply define the missing constant(s) within out code (if not defined yet) to get this going?

@ollehar, would it be possible to include this at the next release so we can use it for our upcoming project beginning of September?

You can just patch it locally before that (as long as you know it will be included in the next release, I mean).
