Hello
In VM Control Panel - Shop - Invoice
I made changes and saved them, but the preview of the invoice is still empty in firefox
Where is the problem ?
thank you
VM VirtueMart3.4.2
joomla 3.9
It is broken .. will be fixed in the next release - perhaps already fixed in the VM3.4.3 ( experienced user pre release)
Just produce pdfs to check changes .. then delete them from your safe path and try again etc
how to produce pdfs to check changes in VM Control Panel - Shop - Invoice ?
Orders & Shoppers/Orders/Print View generates pdf
yes I can generate a pdf when an order has been made.
But how to see a preview without making an order?
I updated to VirtueMart 3.4.3 Same problem, the preview of the invoice is still empty in firefox
Hi,
if you want to test your PDFs properly, make an order and do what GJC described.
I worked more than 300 hours on invoice layouts, trust me, it's the only reliable way.

Hello,
Sorry I am a beginner and it is not obvious with VM.
So to see the layout I have to place an order testy each time it is not very practical. Especially when the invoice preview does not work in VM Control Panel - Shop - Invoice.
The last update still does not solve the problem is it strange
The preview is merely an HTML preview of what to expect. Just forget about it. It's useful for other things, but not to preview the PDF invoice.
If you read GJCs comment carefully, you can just delete the old PDF in the invoice folder in the safe path. After that you can press the button in the order list on the old order again and the PDF will be generated again.
So testing the new PDF takes just a few seconds. Delete the old one, press a button, get the new one.
You say : "If you read GJCs comment carefully, you can just delete the old PDF in the invoice folder in the safe path."
Could you tell me where I can delete the old PDF. I'm not really familiar with VM
Thank you

I just got it. I watched in FTP all VM files and found. Thank you for your patience
