[New Plugin] - Protocols Manager

Hi,
I would like to show you my plugin Protocols Manager to make configurable PDF reports with user inventory.
Inspiration of this plugin was Used Items Export plugin (which is probably no longer developed), but with more features.

Features:
1. Making PDFs with all or selected user inventory
2. Saving protocols in GLPI Documents
3. Possibility to create different protocol templates
4. Templates have configurable name, font, logo image, city, content and footer
5. Possibility to make comments to any selected item
6. Showing Manufacturer (only first word to be clearly) and Model of item
7. Showing serial number of item or inventory number if serial number doesn't exist

To do:
1. Possibility to add row with your own values (not from GLPI)
2. Make comments to exports.
3. More customization

I'm not a proffesional PHP developer (but I want to be ) so plugin may not be perfect or it may contain some unproffesional code, but I tried to do my best.

Re: [New Plugin] - Protocols Manager

Hello,

This plugins look nice, but I just installed it and il looks like it is missing a bit of documentation.
I dont understand how I can insert harware from GLPI inside those report.
From user, if I create a template and click on create, if I open the PDF I get everything like the template should be, with no PC; SN etc, juste the legends are here.

I do not see where to add variable to insert a 'request' of the wanted  hardware I want to list in that template//

Also, I can find the PDF in the server file (/usr/share/glpi/files/PDF/xx)  but I cant see them in GLPI from "Administration -> User -> Protocls manager". Im able to see both template I have created, but no file in the list below, even though the pdf files are present on disk.

It's a bit confusing even though look promising (I will be able to create many usefull templates for our IT dept).

thank for your time/

Cheers.

Re: [New Plugin] - Protocols Manager

Hi @pierrottls,
The inventory which you can see in protocols manager depends on what you assign to user in GLPI. So if you have for example computer, you have to assign user to it like on screenshot below:

When your device is assigned to user, go to this user and to Protocols Manager tab. Then you can see your device. To make a protocol, you have to select device/devices, choose your template and click 'Create'.

After create PDF, you should see it on list below, like on screenshot.

Re: [New Plugin] - Protocols Manager

It works perfect, thanks a lot... I just have a bug, if I assign couple of computeur to my username, it works perfect, if I assign my 500 compagny's computeur, I get the list but when I select one computer and click on "create" I get an error message.... if you have enough computer, you might be able to reproduce, I tested it 3 times...

I use latest GLPI 9.4.4 and    protocolsmanager     1.1.2

Re: [New Plugin] - Protocols Manager

Could you show this error message? And next, turn on debug mode (bug icon in upper right corner), try to generate protocol and show error message then (if it exists). It will be very helpful.
Regards, Mateusz

EDIT: OK, I get it. I will check it

Marcin,
I'm afraid it may be impossible due to security restrictions in GLPI framework, but I will check it.

Re: [New Plugin] - Protocols Manager

Hello,

Is it possible to change the date format at the top of the form.  It seems to default to DD-MM-YYYY but I want it to be MM-DD-YYYY.  Also, the Administrator: section pulls my name by default.  Can this be changed to pull the administrator or manager of the site where the user is located?

Re: [New Plugin] - Protocols Manager

Would it be possible that the field according to which the equipment is grouped was a separate additional field added, for example, from the Fields plugin?

For example: Item_owner

And not the field of the user who uses the hardware?

For example, in an open space it is not the users who use the equipment who own / have the equipment in stock, only a designated person.

Edit:

Is now. You have new function to test on my fork in branch develop.

(press right buton and open image "develop" in new tab)

Re: [New Plugin] - Protocols Manager

Here is version for GLPI 10 with field plugin integration and new dompdf version:

Re: [New Plugin] - Protocols Manager

hi, first of all thank you for this excellent plugin,
I just want to add new tag like {owner} to display some information in generated file:
User number:
<input type="text" name="registration_number" value="871510555468" id="textfield_registration_number586172427" class="form-control">

So display the value: "871510555468"

You can explain to me how to generate this, what modifications to make in the generate.class.php file

THANKS !

<input type="text" name="registration_number"

Use field plugin and add new "user type" field "owner" for item.
In "protocols manager" change in configuration Field from User to new "Owner" field.
