neoWord plugin will allow to generate Microsoft Word files from an existing .docx template.
Every text in the template under curly brackets {myvar} will be replaced with the corresponding variable value.
It will be possible to add loops and conditionals in the template file. Web server required.

This is very good! MS Word is a very common application. Everyone at my university uses it.
It opens up great prospects for creating beautiful reports for users. For example, to communicate test results.

I tried the sample - the file creates and reads fine!

@luishp very good idea if we can use it with a database to produce direct mailings!

@luishp

The sample works as advertised.

However, I am not sure if there are restrictions on the location of the template docx file i.e. does it have to be in the same folder as the web app ? ... or can it be in another folder (either relative to the App Folder or even in the cloud like in your Google Drive) ?

Hi @gaev, it can be located in a relative path but it probably won't work if the .docx file is hosted in Google Drive.

@luishp

it probably won't work if the .docx file is hosted in Google Drive

For those developers (like me) who use Google Docs (instead of Microsoft Word), you can still make use of this plugin by ...

a) downloading the Template Google Doc (.docx file) to your local computer
b) creating/saving the substituted .docx file on your local computer
c) if needed, uploading the generated file back to Google Drive

Google has built in facilities for (a) and (c).

Buenos dias Luis, resulta que este plugin el de word, me funciona correctamente en mi PC con el servidor web PHP del propio programa, me crea el documento y realiza la descarga correctamente rellenando los datos que recojo de una base de datos, pero cuando subo la web completa a mi hosting de alojamiento, no me funciona, no genera nada, ni siquiera realiza la descarga, he creado permisos de escritura 705 Que son Usuario:(R/W/X) Publico:(R/X), no se porque ocurre. ¿Alguna pista?, Ahh, mi navegador Edge.

Muchas gracias por tu tiempo.

@luislopezlezcano por favor abre la Consola del navegador (F12) para localizar cualquier mensaje de error que pueda ofrecernos una pista de lo que puede estar sucediendo.

Saludos.

Fallo mío @luishp , estaba subiendo a una carpeta dentro del dominio actual EJ.

http://midominio.com/aplicacion/

Claro que no localizaba la ruta del fichero de word, ya que lo buscaba en la carpeta en el ejemplo expuesto “aplicación”.

Resuelto creando un subdominio y redirigiendo a la carpeta.

Así va directo.

Mil gracias y disculpad, Mea culpa!!!
