If you are using Google analytics you could easily use it to track your downloads and have nice statistics and setup conversion goals and so on. You would only have to change your template code. No extra fields... easier than it may sound from the docs: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/eventTrackerGuide#setting-up-event-tracking

hi robin,
as simple as this: (put it in your /site/ready.php file and adjust to your needs)
$this->pages->addHookAfter('added', function($event) { $page = $event->arguments[0]; if($page->template != 'your-template-name') return; $page->setAndSave('title', 'my page - ' . date("YmdHis")); }); set page name format for children to something like Y/m/d H:i:s and set title to locked

On mobile... There is a setting in the admin (access tab)
If you select 'Yes' you can define what roles have access to pages using this template. If you select 'No' then pages using this template will inherit access from their parent pages.

ah, of course that was the problem! i had a save() directly after the removeAll() but that didn't make any difference. but adrian got me on the right track:
removeAll() save() createPDF() add() save() // early return when no valid page object if(!$page->id) return false; $page->of(false); $page->stickerpdf->removeAll(); $page->save('stickerpdf'); // get mpdf instance $pdf = $this->modules->get('WirePDF'); $mpdf = $pdf->mpdf; // filename for generated pdf $filename = 'sticker.pdf'; $path = wire('config')->paths->files . $page->id . '/'; $filename = $path.$filename; $mpdf->WriteFixedPosHTML( '<div style="font-size: 10pt;">TEST ' . date('H:i:s') . '</div>', 29, 53, 67, 1 ); $mpdf->Output($filename, 'F'); $page->stickerpdf->add($filename); $page->save('stickerpdf'); thank you both!

Hi henrik,
this problem comes from the fact, that there is no outputformatting when bootstrapping PW. therefore image fields are always arrays even if they are set to max = 1 and all your textformatters won't work.

regarding your ajax problem: you don't need to create a file outside your site folder! you have two options:
1) create a separate template only for ajax requests and also a page for that (eg hidden page /ajax) - then you can just call this page and return your content
2) return your ajax content from within the same file. if you are using delayed output strategy that's really easy. all you have to do is put something like this on top of your template file:
if($config->ajax) { // do your ajax stuff here echo 'i am an ajax response'; die(); } // regular call $headline = '<h1>' . $page->title . '</h1>'; $content = $page->body; and so on... hope that helps! good luck

Hi and welcome combicart! You can use "wirerenderfile" for that. On mobile, so please use Google. It's very easy and i use it in all my projects

please mark your topic as solved so that others can immediately see it - saves time

ok it works now - you were both right (as expected)  it was important to use the PATH to the file (thanks tpr, $config->paths->templates)
$filename = $config->paths->templates . $page->parent->invoice_type . '_' . $page->invoice_num . '_' . $page->invoice_to->client_company . '_' . $page->invoice_to->client_forename . '_' . $page->invoice_to->client_surname . '.pdf'; $mpdf->Output($filename, 'F'); $page->of(false); $page->invoice_pdfs->add($filename); $page->save(); unlink($filename); $session->redirect($page->invoice_pdfs->last()->url); one more question: 
i was not able to save the pdf to the assets folder, so i guess this is because of some security issues? how would i create files in a different folder above the current working directory? just curious

hi hansv, welcome to processwire
visit your site unter /admin/page
go to setup > templates
click on filters > show system templates > yes
go to family > allowed templates for parents > unselect "admin"
now you can select template "admin" for the page /admin
then go to /admin > edit
process: ProcessHome
and then set family for admin template back to "admin" that you can't select it again
hope that helps

hi mattcohen,
welcome to the forum!
your code looks like you have not yet fully understood what processwire is and can do for you to make your life easy the key to success is structuring your content, then you can easily access all your data by simple
foreach ($page->children() as $review) { echo $review->title ... $review->body ... $review->rating ... and so on } maybe this is a good read for you: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/3579-tutorial-approaches-to-categorising-site-content/
did you go through the hello world tutorial? https://processwire.com/docs/tutorials/hello-worlds/

hi lauren,
don't know if it is working with repeater fields, sorry - but repeaters are out anyway i think the PageTable is exactly what you are looking for and you should definitely try out this great field that opens tons of opportunities!
this topic is exactly for you: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/6866-page-field-in-pagetable/
in this image from the thread above you see repeaters (top) compared to pagetable (bottom):

see how much space you will save  btw: looks like page field should work with repeaters?!
here you go

hi totoff,
using the TemplateFile class is perfect for this, have a look at ryans blog profile: https://github.com/ryancramerdesign/BlogProfile/blob/master/templates/archives.php#L101
simple way: file "site/templates/markup/contact-markup.php" (naming it -markup here to point out the difference to the standard template file)
John Doe<br> Sample Street 1<br> Sample City template file eg "site/templates/contact.php
$contact = new TemplateFile(wire('config')->paths->templates . 'markup/contact-markup.php'); echo $contact->render(); // don't forget to echo! more flexible: with variables! markup/contact-markup.php
<?= $name ?><br> <?= $address ?><br> <?= $city ?> contact.php
$contact = new TemplateFile(wire('config')->paths->templates . 'markup/contact-markup.php'); $contact->set('name', 'john doe'); $contact->set('address', 'sample street'); $contact->set('zip', 'sample city'); echo $contact->render(); edit: in your case you can do $sidebar = $contact->render() instead of echoing it... forgot the point of delayed output
