Remove Vendor First and Last name from invoice

[batboiko]

VM 2.0.12f - Joomla 2.5.7


How can i remove the vendor First and Last name from the Invoice shopper receives ? The Vendor name is our Company and is sound funny  Mr. Company

I know all the files are in here : components/com_virtuemart/views/invoice/tmpl/

I try to look for this in to mail_html_header.php but i didn't find it

Thanks

Hello,

As you see inside the mail_html_header.php arround line 29 it's echo'ing the vendorAddress, vendorAddress has all that information you saw and is created from the public function renderVendorAddress.

So, inside the template mail_html_header.php (i assume that you will create an override for that file) we could use the function renderVendorAddress to render it again and exclude some more information, so in line 29 we have

Code Select Expand

<?php echo $this->vendorAddress; ?>

Replace with the following 2 lines:

Code Select Expand

<?php $vendorAddressnew= shopFunctions::renderVendorAddress($virtuemart_vendor_id,"<br />",array('name','username','email','agreed','first_name','last_name')); 
            echo $vendorAddressnew; ?>

and will work as you wish!

An other way to do this ... just saying :
Go to backend Shop->Shop-> Additional information and place one space to first name and one space to last name and press save ...

I prefer the first one, so good luck

I use the second method and is working great

Thank you for the support

Hello,

Great, i prefer the second one because each time you want to edit shop you have to place that spaces again
btw, you could use first, last name as a slogan

Hi,

For those who used the second option - spaces for blank names, how did you remove the title Mr/Mrs from the line in the invoice?

Did you look into shopper field with the name "Title"?

Hi Maxim
What do you mean here? I looked in Control Panel > Shop > Shopper Information > where "Title" has 2 options, "Mr" or "Mrs", I couldn't see a way of not showing any?

Thanks

Yes - even added a blank line for an entry, tried to apply this to the "vendor" user and it did not work, because the "blank" field does not show up as an option to select, when trying to change this in either:
Vendor additional information or
via "shoppers" information.

The blank field does show in the "registration" form now but thats only good for new registrations.

You can add additional titles under "title" including a blank field - however it didn't change my vendor title even thou I tried.

Did you try Bytelord's advices (see posts above) that could be applicable to a Title field also?

Hi Maxim
I wouldn't be confident enough to hack the coding as Bytelord suggests. I could probably find the file to hack after a bit of searching but it's the array of fields (array('name','username','email','agreed','first_name','last_name') I'm not too sure about, as in where do I find them to know what to display, and is this what I need to be altering in the first place??

His second solution sounded easier but only replaces the name with a dot instead of removing it.

Thanks
FP

What ideas do you have, Fastpat27?

Hi Maxim
VM 2.0.22a

I replaced:

Code Select Expand

<?php if ($this->vendor->vendor_letter_header>0) { ?>
<tr>
<?php if ($this->vendor->vendor_letter_header_image>0) { ?>
<td class="vmdoc-header-image"><img src="<?php  echo JURI::root () . $this->vendor->images[0]->file_url ?>" style="width: <?php echo $this->vendor->vendor_letter_header_imagesize; ?>mm;" /></td>
<td colspan=1 class="vmdoc-header-vendor">
<?php } else { // no image ?>
<td colspan=2 width="100%" class="vmdoc-header-vendor">
<?php } ?>
<div id="vmdoc-header" class="vmdoc-header" style="font-size: <?php echo $this->vendor->vendor_letter_header_font_size; ?>pt;">
<?php echo VirtuemartViewInvoice::replaceVendorFields ($this->vendor->vendor_letter_header_html, $this->vendor); ?>
</div>

with:

Code Select Expand

<?php $vendorAddressnew= shopFunctions::renderVendorAddress($virtuemart_vendor_id,"<br />",array('name','username','email','agreed','first_name','last_name')); 
            echo $vendorAddressnew; ?>

I now get this error on payment:
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '}' in /home/acc***here/public_html/components/com_virtuemart/views/invoice/tmpl/mail_html_header.php on line 33

and my invoices haven't changed (attached but edited out some details)

My idea would be to have:
Logo
Company name
Address
Town
Postcode


I hope this makes sense...

FP

Let's test with this

Code Select Expand

<?php if ($this->vendor->vendor_letter_header>0) { ?>
<tr>
<?php if ($this->vendor->vendor_letter_header_image>0) { ?>
<td class="vmdoc-header-image"><img src="<?php  echo JURI::root () . $this->vendor->images[0]->file_url ?>" style="width: <?php echo $this->vendor->vendor_letter_header_imagesize; ?>mm;" /></td>
<td colspan=1 class="vmdoc-header-vendor">
<?php } else { // no image ?>
<td colspan=2 width="100%" class="vmdoc-header-vendor">
<?php } ?>
<div id="vmdoc-header" class="vmdoc-header" style="font-size: <?php echo $this->vendor->vendor_letter_header_font_size; ?>pt;">
<?php echo VirtuemartViewInvoice::replaceVendorFields ($this->vendor->vendor_letter_header_html, $this->vendor); ?>
<?php $vendorAddressnew= shopFunctions::renderVendorAddress($virtuemart_vendor_id,"<br />",array('name','username','email','agreed','first_name','last_name')); 
echo $vendorAddressnew; ?>
</div>

Thanks Maxim
I have replaced the code and no errors so all is good that end. If I view a PDF though, it still hasn't changed. Do I need to change any settings inside VM?

I'll PM your a copy of the invoice.
