Cannot use variables in header / footer for template

[jdespatis]

I'm using the loadTemplate() function to set values in a template.
It works great except for values that are in header / footer. They're not replaced

The reason is because PHPWord only replaces values in the body, and not in the header / footer.

It has been quoted here, with a patch to make it work:
http://phpword.codeplex.com/discussions/236472

with a more generic way here: https://phpword.codeplex.com/workitem/69

Would be nice to have this feature in the official PHPWord :)

Hi, Jerome.

I'll handle that in the nearest time.

Thanks @RomanSyroeshko

Hi, Jerome.

Good news is that I have some code that works now.
Bad news is that I have to wait until the existing pull requests are merged before commiting the results. Otherwise I can go crazy. :)

Hope the feature will fit in 0.7.2 release.

Why not merging the working code @RomanSyroeshko ?
The developers that have done some PR will just need to rebase their PR to make the PR mergeable

@jdespatis I've created a patch on the current develop branch based on your direction. I've also adjusted Sample_07_TemplateCloneRow on the samples folder to include variable on the header.

Please kindly test it and inform us about the result. Thanks.

@ivanlanin, please do not include that patch into the develop branch of the PHPWord official. I will handle this issue after #58.

Thanks.

Ok @RomanSyroeshko. Can't wait to see us start using namespaces :) I'll leave this to you. Thanks.

@jdespatis Pull #190 from @dgudgeon to develop branch has resolved this issue. Can you please check and confirm that you can now use variable in header/footer? Thanks.

@jdespatis Could you check and confirm it's ok for you ? Thanks :)

[Progi1984]

@jdespatis Some news ?

[jdespatis]

@Progi1984 Seems to be ok

[Progi1984]

Prefect, you have tested with the last version of PHPWord (0.10 for Composer) ?

[Progi1984]

@jdespatis Some news ?

[jdespatis]

@Progi1984 I've tested with latest dev-master (38d3d7b), and it works like a charm!

Thanks, and so sorry for the delay... Time machine should really exist...

[ivanlanin]

Thanks for confirming :)
