I notice that every time people ask about this there is no reply. Why is that guys?

We're working on VM3 and have been struggling for days. Files under components>com_virtuemart>views>invoices are one huge mess. It may be clear for those who developed the system but not for others. E.g. our problem is aligning the Shipping address to the left of the table and cannot find the proper CSS! This is really frustrating.

Please considering improving the invoice and email layout issue. There are many 3rd party extensions that do this but really, this should be part of your services.

Thanks.

should be part of your services?  The whole project is totally free to you and no one gets paid a penny for answering the posts here...

You know where the files are that produce the emails and to change the appearance and layout requires only the basic html/css skills that are associated with website building.

It is really too much to ask that this forum provides individual styling solutions for each poster...

by its nature this software is used to produce revenue producing websites.....  if you have a particular styling wish then if u haven't the skills to produce that then it is perfectly reasonable you buy one of the 3rd party  solutions or employ someone to code what you want....

You're right, it is free and much appreciated, and there would be no problem if the html and css files were properly marked. But it is not clear. We tried several 3rd party extensions and each one has some flaw. So what I'm saying is: can the files be better marked up so any designer can figure it out?

put that way is better.. yes.. but if you study the system the template file is directly named

echo $this->loadTemplate('pricelist');  =  mail_html_pricelist.php

in there u see it goes to

$this->setLayout('invoice');
echo $this->loadTemplate('items');

i.e.  invoice_items.php
etc

there is the html set and the raw set

as a reminder/help put things like   <!--invoice_items.php-->  at the top

while developing put <?php die();  ?> at the end of the   mail_html.php  and trigger the mail by a admin status change

the mail will print out on the screen
