Adding an image to attachinvoice

I am having difficulty adding an image to the attachinvoice. The image resides at www.dingospirit.net/images/invoice/Dingo_logo_rego_200.jpg

I have used the following in the invoice.php of attachinvoice:
<img src=" www.dingospirit.net/images/invoice/Dingo_logo_rego_200.jpg"/ >

This results in the invoice not being attached to the order_status_notification email when the order is changed to confirmed.

Without the <img src=.../> the invoice is attached to the confirmation email.

PS. I am using Joomla! version, 2.5.7

<img src="/images/invoice/Dingo_logo_rego_200.jpg"/>

Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately this resulted in the invoice not being attached to the confirmation email.

can you try removing the last back-slash

Hi,

Unfortunately removing the back-slash has not fixed the problem either.

I had thought the problem might be linked to the fact that I'm using Joomla 2.5. I have read somewhere else on the forum that Hikashop is having some problems with linking data in the order_status_notification email. But I have managed to add the logo image to the order_status_notification email using:
<img src="images/invoice/Dingo_logo_rego_200.jpg"/>

Has anyone else placed an image on the attachinvoice?

Thanks,
Geoff

hmmm....... I just tried, and I also can't include an image.

If there is no image, then the invoice attaches to the confirmed email. With an image, there is no attachment.

scratch that,
I just got it to work, but I used the full url of the image including http: //www infront

(no spaces, it just won't let me type it in the forum)

hi there, just found this post after trying for ages to attach the image...

i am using the full url like this:
<img src=" subdomain.domain.de/templates/templatename/images/logo.svg " alt="logo" height="100" width="120">
but getting still the following error:

6 ERROR n°6 : Impossible to load the image subdomain.domain.de/templates/templatename/images/logo.svg

(EDIT: in both URLs the h t t p : / / is of course included, it has been somehow stripped off this post...)

any idea what the trouble could be?
any help appreciated...

PS.
-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.0

sorry, i dont understand this... the previous post from nicolas states clearly:

Yes, you need to enter the full URL of the image as the PDF generation library that we're using cannot handle relative links.

thanks for the suggestion, but before trying a blown up solution, i thought i could try using the PNG or JPG of the logo, which i also have in this folder. so here is a little sum-up of all my tests, none of them worked, no matter if SVG/PNG/JPG:

SVG:

<img src="http://subdomain.domain.tld/templates/templatename/images/logo.svg" alt="logo" height="100" width="120"/>
<img src="/templates/templatename/images/logo.svg" alt="logo" height="100" width="120"/>
<img src="templates/templatename/images/logo.svg" alt="logo" height="100" width="120"/>

<img src="http://subdomain.domain.tld/templates/templatename/images/logo.png" alt="logo" height="100" width="120"/>
<img src="/templates/templatename/images/logo.png" alt="logo" height="100" width="120"/>
<img src="templates/templatename/images/logo.png" alt="logo" height="100" width="120"/>

<img src="http://subdomain.domain.tld/templates/templatename/images/logo.jpg" alt="logo" height="100" width="120"/>
<img src="/templates/templatename/images/logo.jpg" alt="logo" height="100" width="120"/>
<img src="templates/templatename/images/logo.jpg" alt="logo" height="100" width="120"/>

i was confused by jeromes answer (...you have to put a relative path...) so i tried all possible solutions...

the /home/user/var/www/templates/templatename/images/logo.png did not work...
i tired to use it like this:
<img src="/home/user/var/www/templates/templatename/images/logo.png" />
because this didnt work i tried also this
<img src="home/user/var/www/templates/templatename/images/logo.png" />
and this
<img src=" subdomain.domain.tld/home/user/var/www/t...name/images/logo.png " />

(of course i changed in both cases "/home/user/var/www/" by the value i can see in joomla>system information>configuration file>log_path : ...obviously without "logs" at the end!

did a make a mistake???

tomorrow i can check if i can enable allow_url_fopen on the server, but only if it is possible to set allow_url_include to OFF!

allow_url_fopen did the trick!

for anyone interested as short summary of how i got this to work:

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.2
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.0
-- changed allow_url_fopen from OFF to ON
(add the line allow_url_fopen = On inside a php5.ini and save it in root)
ATTENTION!!! = for security reasons, be aware that allow_url_include should be set to OFF!!! (this should be the standard setting)
-- inside plugins/hikashop/attachinvoice/attachinvoice/invoice.php i used a relative path:

<img src="/templates/templatename/images/logo.png" />
