-- HikaShop version -- : 2.4.0
-- Joomla version -- : 3.4.1

Hello there !

I'm a new user of Hikashop which is a great tool to manage an e-commerce solution on a joomla site.
everything works quite right but i'd like to include a feature which has not been implemented yet.
The purpose is to let the user download (From website) a pdf of the previous orders. I wanted to use phocapdf plugin ( www.phoca.cz/phocapdf-plugins ) to generate the pdf on demand. Unfortunatelly, i can't add that plugin to an order page. I also thought to use the hikapdf module but it's for emailing only...

Have anyone an idea to get it done ?

Thanks a lot (and i hope this thread will be helpfull to some other people) !

Regards,

Hi,

The "invoice PDF" plugin allow to send the PDF as email attachment but also allow the user to download the PDF from the front-end (or you to generate it from the backend).

Hello !

I bought and installed the plugin and it works perfectly. Thanks for the tip ;-)
I enabled the printing from front-end option so users can generate the pdf themselves (if needed). But there is still two (small) things that bother me :
- the icon and labels are "printer oriented". Is there a way to modify the text and icon ?
- There is a pop-up window opening when i click on the front-end link (I presume it's used to generate the pdf) then the window the open/save the pdf appears. After saving/opening/cancelling the operation, the pop-up window doesn't close... Is there a way to get rid of it (Or an automatic close option) ?

Thanks for the great support you provide on HikaShop !

Hi,

1. You can edit the file "show" of the view "order" for your frontend template via the menu display>views and change the line:

'<span class="icon-32-print" title="'. JText::_('PRINT_INVOICE').'"></span>'. JText::_('PRINT_INVOICE'),

2. It's not possible to close it automatically.
