Hi,

is there a possibility to send out the invoice as a PDF upon order creation without any manual adjustment of the order? I already tried changing the default order status to paid, but it just send out the email without the attachment.

Cheers,

JJ

Hi,

You can do that with the PDF Invoice plugin:

yes... I bought this plugin. And I'm receiving the email. But only after manual adjustment. Can I send it automatically upon order creation?

Cheers,

JJ

Hi,

The PDF invoice is attached to the order confirmation notification (when the order is paid).
It is not attached to the order creation notification (when the order is created).

Normally, the order should change automatically from created to confirmed when the payment gateway sends the payment notification to HikaShop.
Isn't that the case on your website ?

Yes, that right. But we are using Bank transfer as payment method and would like to send an invoice upon order creation. Is there any way to do this?

Hi,

Can you try to replace the line:
if(empty($data->mail_name) || empty($data->data->order_status) || $data->mail_name != 'order_status_notification' || $data->data->order_status != 'confirmed') return;
by the line:
if(empty($data->mail_name) || empty($data->data->order_status) || !in_array($data->mail_name,array('order_status_notification','order_creation_notification')) || $data->data->order_status != 'confirmed') return;

in the file plugins/hikashop/attachinvoice/attachinvoice.php ?
That should allow that.

Thanks for your help.

I did that.... unfortunatly it doesn't work. No email is attached to the order creation email. If I change the status to confirmed/paid I get the email wtih attachment. So there is no real change.

Yes, that change will only attach the invoice to the email if the status of the order is confirmed when the order is created.

If you want it to always include the invoice then use that line instead:
if(empty($data->mail_name) || empty($data->data->order_status) || !in_array($data->mail_name,array('order_status_notification','order_creation_notification'))) return;

Hi nicolas,

another question: Are the generated PDFs stored somewhere? or can I add a CC or BCC adress somewhere?

Cheers!

They are not stored.

There is no option to add a CC or BCC.
However, you can get the email yourself with such modification:

I just bought and installed the PDF (attachinvoice) but when I change order to confirmed I get this error message:

TCPDF ERROR: Unable to create output file: /home/xxxxxx/domains/xxxxxxx.com/public_html/plugins/hikashop/attachinvoice/attachinvoice/invoices/Factuur-148_1370588576.pdf

What should I do now?

Solved: I set the folder to 777 instead of 755.

However now I get an ugly invoice. Not as the adjusted invoice file I made. How can I change this invoice to make it look more like the corporate image of client??

I'll keep on trying!

Hi,

To edit the template of the invoice, you have to edit the file "attachinvoice/invoice.php" in the plugin hikashop > attachinvoice.

You can also create a view override: "media/com_hikashop/plugins/invoice.php".

I have another question. The invoice (in Dutch Factuur) is attached to email. Works like a charme. However, he names the PDF Factuur.pdf. But I want it like this, Factuur0023.pdf. So including invoice number. is that possible?

I'll keep on trying!

Hi,

It requires a modification in the plugin "attachinvoice".
By replacing the line:

$mailer->AddAttachment($invoiceFolder.DS.$invoiceFile,JText::_('INVOICE').'.pdf');
By
$mailer->AddAttachment($invoiceFolder.DS.$invoiceFile,JText::_('INVOICE').str_pad($orderId, 4, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT).'.pdf');

Hi Nicolas,

Just got the attach PDF plugin and am working on the invoice style/layout. I tried adding a logo by including html in the shop address field as you suggested, but it seems that the PDF plugin has an issue with that because I get this error when I try to view the invoice:

6 - An error has occurred.

ERROR n°6 : Impossible to load the image http://fuelnetworkservices.co.za/images/FNS-logo.jpg

I've tried changing the image format to png, but that didn't help.

So I created an override file and hard-coded the image HTML, but I get the same error.

I've also tried relative (./images/FNS-logo.jpg and /images/FNS-logo.jpg) and absolute URLs in the source which didn't help either.

Please let me know how I can include the logo image in my Invoice.

Thanks.

Just so any1 who has a similar problem knows...

It was a server configuration issue: I had to enable allow_url_fopen on my hosting's php.ini file to get it working. Turns out HTML2PDF needs this to be able to open images.

Hi,

When you specify a file path, you have to set the server file path. If you are using a "http" path, it will not be seen as a file path, but as an external file which has to be download by the server.
It includes a lot of complexity for a file which is already in the server.
You have to use the server relative path or the server absolute path.
