No customfields in to attached PDF invoice

Hi,

We've had to update the plugin yes.
The plugin doesn't have a subscription system , so to get a new version would require purchasing it again.
I don't know what version of the plugin you have, but the modification that was necessary was basically changing the code:
display:field_item_invoice=1
to:
display:back_invoice=1
in the invoice.php file.
In older versions of the plugin, it was:
'frontcomp'
So with that information, you should be able to make it work with the latest version of HikaShop without purchasing it again.

Hi,

If you have an override (a customization) for the invoice, that override will persist with the update.

Hi,

Then, can you provide a FTP and backend access along with information to reproduce the problem and a link to this thread so that we can check on what's going on ?

Hello,

I have a look on your back end, and I see that you have some override view on the invoice view, maybe it's linked to your issue.
Can you save your custom view on your side, delete it by clicking on little trash icon and process some tests to see if that solve your issue.
Awaiting news from you.

Hi,

I see what is the problem now. It's that for the whole time we thought that you were talking about custom fields of the table "item" which are supposed to display on the PDF invoice but might not due to the update (there were some bugs we fixed for that).
We thought that because we understood that you implied that it worked before the update to HikaShop 3.
But actually, looking at your order in your backend, I can see that you're talking about custom fields of the table product.
And for that table, yes the PDF invoice plugin doesn't support their display.

That's done on purpose actually.
The PDF conversion library is kinda hard to deal with and we have to specify the width for each column of the table. Adding new columns dynamically in the PDF would be quite problematic as we don't know which column needs more space and which can be ok with less. You might have some products with long names, or only products with show names, you might have prices like 156 0000 YEN, taking a lot of space, or small prices like 25€ with a small width necessary, and that's the same for the custom product fields.

So while you could add it as a customization of the invoice.php of the PDF invoice plugin, doing it by default in the PDF invoice plugin is not something we plan on doing for now. Maybe in the future, if we completely redo the plugin to use another PDF generating system which is better at dealing with the width of columns in a table.

Hi,

What you could do then is add such code:
if(!empty($product->XXX)) echo '<br/>XXX: '.$product->XXX;
where XXX is the column name of your custom field before the line:
if ($config->get('show_code')) {
in the invoice.php of the PDF invoice plugin.
That will add the custom product field XXX to the products in the PDF invoice below the name of the product.

Hi,

Then try like that:

$productClass = hikashop_get('class.product');
$productData = $productClass->get($product->product_id);
if(!empty($productData->XXX)) echo '<br/>XXX: '.$productData->XXX;
