Yes! Prior to Joomla! 1.5, only the text values of an Article and only for ISO-8859-1 encoding was allowed in the PDF rendition. With the new PDF library in place, the complete Article including images is rendered and applied to the PDF. The PDF generator also handles the UTF-8 texts and can handle any character sets from any language. The appropriate fonts must be installed but this is done automatically during a language pack installation.

It might happen that I ask you to eneble "debug/maximum" logging in Joomla to send me more detailed error information. To enable logging:

1. Login to Joomla Administration
2. Go to Global Configuration
3. Click on the link for "Server"
4. There you will have a selection box for "Error Reporting"
5. Take a note of the original value and then change it to "Maximum"

Note! You might see messages about different components/pages like, "Warning", "Notice" and such both in back- and front-end pages. These messages will disappear when you change to logging back after collecting the required information.

Go to your SFU module and redo what is causing problems, capture any message shown by grabbing a screen capture.

Once collected you can go and change the "Error Reporting" level back to the original setting.

Question: I'm getting this on the front page:

Simple File Upload v1.1

Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in /var/www/web72/web/modules/mod_simplefileu ploadv1.1/mod_simplefileu ploadv1.1.php on line 80

Notice: Undefined index: uploadedfile in /var/www/web72/web/modules/mod_simplefileu ploadv1.1/tmpl/default.php on line 214

Why?

*************************************

Answer: That is because either your Joomla setting for logging or PHP setting for logging is set to debug/maximum. It's not an error, simply a Notice. SFU will work normally but of course the notice is annoying.

Change the logging for PHP or in Joomla Administration under Global Configuration->Server and look for property "Error Reporting". Set it to "System Default".

If you still see the Notice you'll need to change the PHP setting (check PHP Man pages).

Yes, you can. Just head over to this Article:
