how to only send email invoices

tomphillipspcs · August 17, 2016, 14:04:41 PM

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?

tomphillipspcs · August 17, 2016, 17:33:37 PM

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

tomphillipspcs · August 19, 2016, 12:42:53 PM

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

tomphillipspcs · August 21, 2016, 12:48:35 PM

so just removing the entries from the bottom box would do that?

GJC Web Design · August 21, 2016, 13:04:05 PM

yes

tomphillipspcs · August 22, 2016, 15:19:29 PM

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?

GJC Web Design · August 22, 2016, 15:42:52 PM

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
