PDF Invoice gen failing with vmError: getInvoicePDF Cant create pdf, no entry

[rednaxela]

Hi,

I upgraded to the latest Virtuemart (VirtueMart 4.2.2 10908) and Joomla (4.3.4) version. Since then, I can no longer generate invoices from the orders page. Error: vmError: getInvoicePDF Cant create pdf, no entry

I have removed the overrides for the invoice template, but I still receive the same error.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Best, Alexander

It is likely failing as no invoice number is generated/available:

com_virtuemart > controllers > invoice.php

if( $layout == 'invoice' and (!$invoiceNumber or empty($invoiceNumber))){
   $r = 'getInvoicePDF Cant create pdf, no entry for layout '.$layout;
   vmError($r, $r);
   return 0;

When and where is the invoice number generated? Can I set it manually?

From Max Milbers via support ticket.

I think I found the problem. A fast solution, open the invoice model at /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/models/inovice.php around line 162, search for

function getExistingIfUnlockedCreateNewInvoiceNumber($orderDetails, &$invoiceNumber, $force_create_invoice = 0){

and just change the last 0 to null
function getExistingIfUnlockedCreateNewInvoiceNumber($orderDetails, &$invoiceNumber, $force_create_invoice = null){

I have the same error, and I cannot find that line of code...

The file is /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/models/invoice.php   not  inovice.php  (a Max typo)

It is correct in current member version 4.2.4 10922

It is correct in current member version 4.2.4 10922

function getExistingIfUnlockedCreateNewInvoiceNumber($orderDetails, &$invoiceNumber, $force_create_invoice = 0){

this function does not have the force create invoice parameter.

I have the same issue and apply this fix in VM 4.2.0 10905
Then I got a new error msg: array_push(): Argument #1 ($array) must be of type array, null given

Does anyone know what can be done?
Really appreciated
