Is it possible to send email only invoices to customer? (rather than PDF's)
I am on an up to date versions of virtuemart - but it seems to send a pretty blank PDF invoice (enclosed)
are the otpions iin "Orderstatus to use for attachment" meant to do this - or is it anotehr settings?
otherwise how do I fix the PDF invoice?
Something worong there as that invoice does not contain the usual order information, order number, addresses, products details, prices etc.
Versions?
php 5.3.29
joomla 3.5.1
virtuemart 3.0.16
what would you advise I check to get that data included?
Are you using all default VM templates or some commercial overrides?
Image of invoice is on a test site using VM sample data & default templates.
Where would I look for the template for the pdf invoice?
components\com_virtuemart\views\invoice\tmpl\invoice.php etc
This is what is in invoice.php
and there are other files from the latest virtuemart update as well - see screenshot
so it looks as though that is all correct? Any other ideas?
Does the invoice have to be sent as a PDF? can't it just be sent as an email?

it can be just an email
disable the attachment in vm admin emails
so just removing the entries from the bottom box would do that?
yes
It refuses to let me delete all the entries from that bottom box - I can delete and save all but one, but if I try and delete and save all of them they all then re-appear!
so it seems to me there is no way of just having email only invoices?
make a new status that the order is set to when confirmed
set the payment plugs to that status
don't incl. in the file send
