I have a table in my component with a few views, the last of which is like a digital signature page.

I want to fire a process during the save of this view that will generate a PDF file of the table.

I have a view ready to go, which I can call using tmpl=component to strip out all the nonsence. I know where to fire the process from, but I need a little advise on the process

Step by Step

- Person clicks save on table.laststep view
- Save process for table.laststep fires

During

if (parent::save($data)) {

// Alter save based on LAYOUT
    switch ($_POST['layout']) {
    case "table.laststep":
    // process
    break;
};

Process for converting the page at view=table&layout=viewcontract&tmpl=component&id=xxx fires and creates a PDF of that view

NOTE : At this point the ID is already created, this process will NEVER fire on a new record

- PDF is saved as contract_xx.pdf

- If there is already an old version of that contract it is OVERWRITTEN (no version control required)

Any / All help appreciated

Although I found this tool some time ago I just started learning experimenting and building this first component on Monday and now on Thursday afternoon it's already online. Although I already had a working version done with another tool this is much easier to build and at the end you have the freedom to own your own component. Once you know how to use Cook you will boost your productivity as the learning curve is really moderate compared to many other tools.
