TOC Footer

[xenoborg007]

MPDF refuses to display the correct footer on the TOC pages, neither SetHTMLFooterByName() or toc-odd-footer-name="" works as expected.

My order is
front page - header 1 footer 1
toc pages - header 2 footer 2
pages after - header 2 footer 3

$mpdf -> DefHTMLHeaderByName('header1', 'Header 1');
$mpdf -> DefHTMLHeaderByName('header2', 'Header 2');
$mpdf -> DefHTMLFooterByName('footer1', 'Footer 1');
$mpdf -> DefHTMLFooterByName('footer2', 'Footer 2');
$mpdf -> DefHTMLFooterByName('footer3', 'Footer 3');

$mpdf -> SetHTMLHeaderByName('header1');
$mpdf -> WriteHTML('Front Page');
$mpdf -> SetHTMLFooterByName('footer1');
$mpdf -> SetHTMLHeaderByName('header2');
// THIS
$mpdf -> TOCpagebreak();
$mpdf -> SetHTMLFooterByName('footer2');
// OR THIS
$mpdf -> WriteHTML('<tocpagebreak toc-resetpagenum="1" type="NEXT-ODD" toc-odd-footer-name="footer2" *'); // * with closing

$mpdf -> WriteHTML('pages after');
$mpdf -> SetHTMLFooterByName('footer3');

Did you ever find a way around this?

I spent a couple of hours wondering why I could not get the right footer on my TOC... even toc-odd-footer-value and toc-even-footer-value set to off or -1 wouldn't work.

In the end, it turns out, whatever your header and footings setting are on the last page of your document, are what header and footer are displayed on your TOC. I think this is because it is generated at the end of the document, and then inserted back where you defined it near the start.

So, as a work around, I just ended up setting a different header and footer for the last page of the document.

Closing as stale.
