vm4 create nice invoice
« on: February 01, 2023, 16:37:56 pm »
Just updated to VirtueMart 4.0.12 10777 with Joomla! 3.10.11

I read the option to create and handle invoice has improved big time.
Is there any info about this options or has anyone set this up already.

Before these updates I used vminvoice but is not working anymore.
Also It would be great to use the the general vm settings.

Right now I use vm with Dutch language and have the following states:
In Store invoice/email I setup header and footer
But in invoice pdf I don't see the ordered products?

Thanks and regards,
Pas

I'd like to use the improved options of virtuemart 4 but can't find up to date docs about settings.
So maybe someone knows where to find this or has set this up recently?

Pas

Did some test orders...

After confirmation I see order info with 'print' and 'pdf' icon.
Print icon shows complete order with products and price, calculation and tax.
Pdf icon only shows header, invoice number and footer?

What files and folder are responsible for this? can I replace this from a clean install to be sure all is original?

Thanks in advance,
Pas

You should see three icons, Print order, Delivery note and Invoice.  The image is using the new admin template.

where did u read this and what exactly did it say?

To my knowledge the actual physical creation of the invoice hasn't changed .. it is html created by a collection of template files which is then sent to the TCP PDF creator...

If u want to physically change it then u need to change the templates..

Looks a bit different (template) but icons are the same.
When I click invoice I get a pdf but no products/invoice? only header & footer. Print order shows all over 2 pages but messy.

Thanks,

Read this at the invoice plugin forum, some user was happy with latest version ;) "To be honest since writing this i have setup my first VM4 template and the new invoicing system is 100% better than the old one"

Now my guess is:
I updated to vm4, uninstalled incompatible invoice plugin
Previous modified files not restored to original state.

maybe install a clean vm4 to see difference.

Thanks,
