Topic: Bug with transformsizes and non-numeric values

Posted by helpdesk@hrdownloads.com · 14-02-2019 - 21:00

I'm getting a critical error converting a docx document. The error appears to be related to the transformSizes function and occurs in the main transform function when processing the document xml. Other docx files process normally.

I dug into the XML code and found a number of elements that were set to "nil". I'm not certain that this is the source of the issue but I can see this causing potential problems if nil isn't converting to zero.

<w:top w:val="nil"/>

Hello,

DOCX to HTML will support nil values in tables in the next release of phpdocx (there's no release date yet).

We recommend you to generate a new class that extends the TransformDocAdvHTMLDefaultPlugin class:

class TransformDocAdvHTMLNewPlugin extends TransformDocAdvHTMLDefaultPlugin

and customize the transformSizes method to handle nil values if needed, for example:

public function transformSizes($value, $source, $target = null)
{
    $returnValue = 0;

    if ($value == 'nil') {
        $value = 0;
    }
...

The transformation classes allow using custom plugins to transform DOCX. For example, if you generate a new class called TransformDocAdvHTMLHRDownloads with the previous change, you can use it without changing the files of the library:

$transformHTMLPlugin = new TransformDocAdvHTMLHRDownloads();

$transform = new Phpdocx\Transform\TransformDocAdvHTML('document.docx');
$html = $transform->transform($transformHTMLPlugin);

You can read more information about extending TransformDocxAdvHTML classes on https://www.phpdocx.com/documentation/introduction/word-to-html-PHP (How to customize transformations section).

Regards.

Thanks, that did the trick. The instructions were clear, I was able to add this class and process the problem document.
