Fatal error:
Uncaught Error: Call to a member function getStatusString() on int in cristal/pptx/Presentation/PPTX.php:81 Stack trace: #0 cristal/pptx/Presentation/PPTX.php(67): Cristal\Presentation\PPTX->openFile()

My code :
$path = DIR.'/test.pptx';

$pptx = new Cristal\Presentation\PPTX($path);

$pptx->template([
'user' => [
'name' => 'Bill',
'age' => '26',
]
]);

$final_path = ws_get_temp_file(NULL, 'pptx');

$pptx->saveAs($final_path);

I open a pptx with a layout containing a background image using
$basePPTX = new PPTX($path1);
and save it
$basePPTX->saveAs($path2);

everything is fine.

I add the same pptx again:
$endPPTX = new PPTX($path1);
$basePPTX->addSlides($endPPTX->getSlides());

I get a message, if I want to repair the pptx, then I get a message, that certain slides cannot be displayed. for other slides no layout exists.

if I add different presentations I get the same messages, but only layouts are missing for the added slides.

do you have any idea?

This happens when a resource of type "External" begins to be copied

Hello,

First of all, thank you for this library, I'm starting to play with it.

I have a question about the duplicated MasterSlides in the final presentation ;
I saw that when you merge slides, it copies the masters/themes in the final file. (I assumed it is safer to prevent broken presentation).
In case all the slides to be merged uses the same theme and master slides, would it be possible to use the existing ones and avoid duplicate them ?

Thank you !

Hello,
I have the usecase that I want to remove a slide. Would this be possible and how?

Code:

$basePPTX = new PPTX($input_file);
$slides = $basePPTX->getSlides();
for ($i = 0; $i < $count; $i++) {
$basePPTX->addSlides($slides);
}
$basePPTX->saveAs(DIR . "/../templates/$file_name");

Hi, the parameter $finder is optional in Slide::table() method, but is required in PPTX::table()

Describe the bug
Just tried the "Demo code" to merge 2 files and it doesn't work.

To Reproduce
My code is simple :

(some code before to set variable with file path)
$ppt_transition = $this->ppt_transition;
$basePPTX = new PPTX($ppt_transition);

$ppt_introduction = $this->ppt_introduction;
$endPPTX = new PPTX($ppt_introduction);

$basePPTX->addSlides($endPPTX->getSlides());

Expected behavior
Not throwing erros ...

Screenshots
Error is the following

Fatal error: Uncaught TypeError: Return value of Cristal\Presentation\Resource\XmlResource::getUniqueID() must be of the type integer, float returned in F:\Developpement\Page Oueb\abondonworship\classes\utils\ppt\Cristal\Presentation\Resource\XmlResource.php:229 Stack trace: #0 F:\Developpement\Page Oueb\abondonworship\classes\utils\ppt\Cristal\Presentation\Resource\Presentation.php(39): Cristal\Presentation\Resource\XmlResource::getUniqueID() #1 F:\Developpement\Page Oueb\abondonworship\classes\utils\ppt\Cristal\Presentation\PPTX.php(173): Cristal\Presentation\Resource\Presentation->addResource(Object(Cristal\Presentation\Resource\SlideMaster)) #2 F:\Developpement\Page Oueb\abondonworship\classes\utils\ppt\Cristal\Presentation\PPTX.php(125): Cristal\Presentation\PPTX->addResource(Object(Cristal\Presentation\Resource\Slide)) #3 F:\Developpement\Page Oueb\abondonworship\classes\utils\ppt\Cristal\Presentation\PPTX.php(212): Cristal\Presentation\PPTX->addSlide(Object(Cristal\Presentation\Resource\Slide)) #4 F:\Developpement\ in F:\Developpement\Page Oueb\abondonworship\classes\utils\ppt\Cristal\Presentation\Resource\XmlResource.php on line 229

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: [Windows]
• PHP Version: [ PHP 7.1.3 x86]
• Software used to open the final PPTX [Powerpoint]

Additional context
I can open "template" and save both files, but merging them trows an error that looks like a bug from your project

Describe the bug
When Slide.php in the table function is processing the index of the row of the table, it has a regex expression that has de digit part wrong, it should include the digits (pair) not one single digit, otherwise it will repeat the index above 10 and will repeat the data.

Actual code:

'/<([^>]+:?' . self::TABLE_ROW_TEMPLATE_NAME . '([\d])+\/>?)/'

Solution:

'/<([^>]+:?' . self::TABLE_ROW_TEMPLATE_NAME . '([\d]+)\/>?)/'

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Have an array with 10 or more elements to process into the table (with differents numeric index). Use table, boom, it will repeat those above 10.

Hi,

This library works very well for us. Thanks!

I saw table method in PPTX and it seems promising. I can't find anywhere how to use it. Can you provide some example?
Use case: duplicate rows in template and replace values in duplicated rows.

Thanks.

hi , could you tell me why ?

"Recursion detected" this is error in my local computer

thanks

Hi,

Simple question can i display an image in a moustache tags like {{evidence_img}} from my powerpoint template with img from [this] (https://avatars.dicebear.com/api/avataaars/exciting.svg) svg file for example. Tried unescaped html tags {{{evidence_img}}} but it does not render the html img tags. instead only } are shown..

Hello,

first of all thank you guys for this Libary, it its pretty much what we need in our project right now. I started playing around a little bit an managed to insert only certain slides:

use Cristal\Presentation\PPTX;

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

$basePPTX = new PPTX("mappenlager\Präsentation1.pptx");
$endPPTX = new PPTX("mappenlager\Präsentation2.pptx");

//Get the slides as an Array of Slides
$SlideArray = array();
$SlideArray = $endPPTX->getSlides();

//This adds only the first slide of the end pptx
$basePPTX->addSlide($SlideArray[0]);
//This adds only the second slide of the end pptx
$basePPTX->addSlide($SlideArray[1]);

So far so good, it works fast and fine ! Now my question: is there a possibility to tell the script where to insert those slides? For Example: Slide 1 in the endPPtx should be on Position 3 in the basePptx ? How would i approach this ?

Thank you very much
Fabian

Update documentation to describe how to template images.
