Re: Replacement only in first slide of powerpoint

With OpenTBS version 1.8.0 (only available in beta for now), yu can do
$TBS->PlugIn(OPENTBS_SELECT_SLIDE, $Slide)

Otherwise, you have to change the current slide using:
$TBS->LoadTemplate('#ppt/slides/slide2.xml')

Re: Replacement only in first slide of powerpoint

Skrol,

Thanks I have this working mostly as well.  I am having one issue:

$json_string = $service_url . '/GetOpportunityAssumptions.php?oppty_id=' . $oppty_id;
$jsondata = file_get_contents($json_string);
$obj = (array)json_decode($jsondata, true);
$data6=$obj['assumptions'];

// Merge data for slide 4
$Slide4 = 4;
$TBS->MergeBlock('blk6',$data6);
$TBS->MergeBlock('a,b', $data );
$TBS->PlugIn(OPENTBS_SELECT_SLIDE, $Slide4);


My tags look like this in the PPT template

[blk6;block=begin][blk6.name;noerr]

When the template renders it does it only shows the tags but the table on the first slide works no problem and the approach above works for text replacements in other slides.

Hi,

First select the slide, then use MergeBlock() and other merging features.
