Unique invoice layout front-back-end

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.3.4
-- Joomla version -- : 3.3.6

Hi, I need to have the same layout for the invoice both backend and frontend (when user print it).

We need to provide the same exactly copy of the invoice to the customer. At the moment I see that the layout of the invoice in backend is different from the frontend layout 'cause it's managed by template.

Obviously you could answer me that you can edit view files etc... to make them the same graphically, but I would ask if there is a faster solution (even copy and paste some code somewhere).

Also, would you consider as feature a unique invoice view so that it will be really the same for frontend and backend?

Hi,

Graphically they are identical, but yes you indeed have to edit both views when doing modifications.

We have the invoice twice, one view for the backend and one for the frontend because in Joomla it's not really possible to get the frontend view when you are in backend and vice versa. We don't have the information of which view to load in which template if there is overrides, etc.

So because it's managed by template we must have the view two times.
