Invoice/Receipt/DeliveryNote Addon (finished at last)

[mitchie]

Hi there,
maybe you're interested in this:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/vminvoice/

It's a true component, no hacks needed. Install it like any other Joomla! component.

Next release (forecasted release date: 1st july 2010) you'll be able to move (copy) your old Phoca add-on data into vm Invoice Manager and go-on from there.

Soon will be online a dedicated site with support forum and a user's handbook.

Jan, you have done an excellent work.

Hi Peter,

great to hear it.

My hosting service doesn't seem to have the utility "patch" installed.  Is there any chance you could give the line numbers where to manually update the files?

Hey, huge problem... I updatet this new version of Invoice/Receipt/DeliveryNote Addon. Installed all programs as there reads (I think).
And made changes for Language file (for Finnish) and tried to modified administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_order.php, just for automatic PDF email...


Everything is working great except now my shop isn't sending ORDER STATUS changes to my customers anymore...Why is that?


Please, Help me.....


This is now OK, I found that this code change makes that... and especially

Code: [Select]

if( $curr_order_status=="P" && $d["order_status"]=="C" && $notify_customer == 1) {
   PhocaPDFVirtueMartHelper::createDeliveryAndPDFandSendEmail($vmLogger, $VM_LANG, CLASSPATH);
}
if( !empty($notify_customer) ) {
   //$this->notify_customer( $d );
}

And especially this //$this->notify_customer

But why doen't it make that invoice and send it to customer? even when I have made the changes....?

I have the same issue.
It seems to be that the automatic email option is restricted to Phoca collaborators. I've seen the function in "virtuemarthelper.php" and is empty (only returning "true)
I suppose that if you (and me) aren't Phoca "members", we should go back to the original code in this part, and have again simply:

Code: [Select]

    $this->notify_customer

Hope Phoca people could free this part, 'cause the Virtuemart Addon is simply PERFECT with that option

Jan, very good job. ;-)

[aravot]

There is no membership but donation, if you donate to the Phoca project you will receive the code, I am sure such a PERFECT addon deserves few bucks.

[DREK]

Is that true? I'm stuck in that part. I would like to generate PDFs automatically when my orders are confirmed...

Any help? Where do I donate the money.
