deleteBlock, cloneBlock, ReplaceBlock still not working!!

[ozilion]

Hi all,

Isn't there any solid solution for this block removal or replacement issue? I've tried every suggested solution but nothing worked, I use version 1.3 and PHP v8.2

I know there are bunch of opened issues but I tried all of them nothing works. Here is the code I tried lastly but no chance at all

if (isset($pot['iso900115varyok']) && ($pot['iso900115varyok'] == 0 || $pot['iso900115varyok'] == "0")) { echo "Attempting to delete 'deletekys' block<br>"; $docProcessor->replaceBlock('deletekys', ""); $docProcessor->deleteBlock('deletekys'); $docProcessor->cloneBlock('deletekys', 0); $docProcessor->deleteBlock('deletekys'); $docProcessor->cloneBlock('deletekys', 0); }

Hi,

I've solved it by doing some changes to replaceBlock, it works for me i hope can help for others too.

It may not be the best solution but works for me

` public function replaceBlock($blockname, $replacement = ""): void
{
// Get the macro characters
$openChar = self::$macroOpeningChars;
$closeChar = self::$macroClosingChars;

// echo "Looking for markers: " . $openChar . $blockname . $closeChar . " and " .
// $openChar . "/" . $blockname . $closeChar . "
";

// First find the exact string patterns we're looking for
$openTag = $openChar . $blockname . $closeChar;
$closeTag = $openChar . '/' . $blockname . $closeChar;

// Search for the exact tags in the document
$foundOpen = false;
$foundClose = false;
$startParaPos = 0;
$endParaPos = 0;

// Parse the document by paragraphs to find exact paragraphs containing our tags
$paragraphs = [];
preg_match_all('/<w:p\b[^>]*>.*?<\/w:p>/s', $this->tempDocumentMainPart, $paragraphs);

$startParaIndex = -1;
$endParaIndex = -1;

// Check each paragraph for our tags
foreach ($paragraphs[0] as $index => $paragraph) {
  // Use a more relaxed approach to handle split text runs
  $paraText = preg_replace('/<[^>]+>/', '', $paragraph);

  // Look for the exact tag strings
  if (strpos($paragraph, $openTag) !== false ||
    // Check for split text runs
    (strpos($paraText, $openChar . $blockname . $closeChar) !== false)) {
    $startParaIndex = $index;
    $foundOpen = true;
  }

  if (strpos($paragraph, $closeTag) !== false ||
    // Check for split text runs
    (strpos($paraText, $openChar . '/' . $blockname . $closeChar) !== false)) {
    $endParaIndex = $index;
    $foundClose = true;
  }

  // If we've found both, we can stop searching
  if ($foundOpen && $foundClose && $startParaIndex < $endParaIndex) {
    break;
  }
}

if (!$foundOpen || !$foundClose || $startParaIndex >= $endParaIndex) {

// echo "Could not find matching markers or start marker appears after end marker.
";
return;
}

// Find the positions of these paragraphs in the document
$startParaPos = strpos($this->tempDocumentMainPart, $paragraphs[0][$startParaIndex]);
$endParaPos = strpos($this->tempDocumentMainPart, $paragraphs[0][$endParaIndex]) + strlen($paragraphs[0][$endParaIndex]);

if ($startParaPos === false || $endParaPos === false) {

// echo "Could not locate paragraph positions in document.
";
return;
}

// echo "Block boundaries found:
";
// echo "- Start paragraph index: " . $startParaIndex . " (position: " . $startParaPos . ")
";
// echo "- End paragraph index: " . $endParaIndex . " (position: " . $endParaPos . ")
";

// Extract content before and after the block
$beforeBlock = substr($this->tempDocumentMainPart, 0, $startParaPos);
$afterBlock = substr($this->tempDocumentMainPart, $endParaPos);

// Replace the entire block (including marker paragraphs) with the replacement content
$this->tempDocumentMainPart = $beforeBlock . $replacement . $afterBlock;

// echo "Block completely removed (including marker paragraphs).
";
}`
