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

Great UX great performance and definitely a time saver. It only took me 10 minutes of playing around before purchasing a subscription and right now I just want to throw more money at you! I just started a new project and after just 4h I can already tell it probably saved me several days of work. I'm building a wholesale ordering system with sales rep management. I have not looked at the code yet but so far: impressive.
