Hi,

How do i stop PDF invoices being sent (as attachments in emails) in 2.0.7e
in 2.0.6 there was a tickbox in configuration, it is no longer there. Instead there is a drop down, and i have selected none, but once i view an invoice, it is always attached. Even if i cancel an order, the invoice gets attached. Bug(s)?

thanks!

looks like it still happening in 2.0.8 :(
Anyone got any ideas?

I also have this happen -  pdf invoices being sent for all configurations.

The invoices now have the correct headings for vendor and buyer - but the buyers email has pending in the heading and the vendor confirmed - so both get a PDF -  ( i did not go into orders and update anything)
My configuration says ; only send an invoice on confirmed , which I have not done.

first email that arrives:
Vendor:   Hello xxxxxxxx,
Mr sfds fsafasfa confirmed an order with a total of $ 664, his/her order number

Buyer :  Your order number:
Your order password:
Your order status is Pending

The actual layout , and the way the invoices now read is good.

I updated this morning - 2.0.8a and I tested got this below?

I test now 10 hours later and they are perfect ?

no I update this agin to say that the invoices - are almost perfect but they are getting sent when configuration is set to none or pending.   and before I get into the order section of VM (BE) -    some do come through OK.  why ?

How can I stop invoices from being sent? 
I have set send invoices to "none", but they are still being sent to the customer (and to me)

Little hint coming from the reality around the corner.

Maybe the bug is not simple, eh? I just dont have the problem. So it is not easy or simple.

Ok update on PDF configuration_

If I go to the configuration setting and I change it and change it back - then it appears to work OK.

* So when I install a new version of VM - maybe  the configuration turns something on or off. 

I turned off and all the payment and shipment methods one by one and then back on. - they did nothing.

* i notice when I update VM I have to turn off some modules I don't use everytime - Maybe ? it does something to the configuration setting?  Right now I did 10 tests and they all come through ok.  _ infact if it is OK - then for me my shop works well.

But - the vendor's email still has the wrong wording -

4est

maybe offtopic, or near, but do you also receive the email with order status change?
in VM1 only the customer received this, now in VM2 I too receive every status change.  Can this be disabled somewhere, as for me it's just another email to delete?

I do understand it might be useful in some situations where someone else does update the statuses and you want things under control, but it's not my case :)

4east,

yes you should always get an email - but you should only get a pdf invoice with the configuration set as you want - ie: if you set configuration to shipping then on the first order you(vendor) and the buyer will get an email. It should say pending.   and no PDFs

* then you go to orders in the back and if you change the setting to shipping (and nothing else) - then an email with an invoice should arrive to you and the customer.

* to turn that off - that is another story - I use microsoft Outlook to collect POP mail - when all VM email come in they just go to a redirected folder and sit there - infact I have a sound set up to hear them come in.  they never turn up in my personal mail. That way no mess and delete if needed in one click - but for accounting purposes - might be best to always receive a pdf copy of the invoice.

* now the extra bit did you - do what I did below and turn the configurtion to none. then save . then turn it back say to shipping and save and then reset to another configuartion and test.  -  did they emails come but the PDFs stop. ???  this is important .

John2400

Every thing in 2.0.8c installed correctly,

* fast orders , no pdfs in the emails, working very well the site - is great but?  vendor's email still the same I changes all the configurations back and forth saved. I even chnge the setting in the products section from shipped to pending - in case it was pulling it from there. 

I went to the orders section and I changed the orders to shipped, cancelled, etc all settings - all emails came through correctly to the buyer - but the vendor always had the word shipped in every email. in the same spot as in image - it is like it is a text and not pulling from anywhere?  see image.

The subject was always correct.

I have installed VM2.0.8.c and I still get an PDF invoice attached to every e-mail at every status change.
I have set the order-status for invoice to NONE, so It should be correct.

Now my customers (if it was a live site) are receiving an PDF invoice even when their order isn't confirmed.
I hope there will be a quick solution for this.

This should be a option, maybe for a next release? I don't want to receive an email everytime I change a status is changed.
