How To Add New Fields to Invoice?

[PudzPud]

Hi, I need to add an extra field to the customer invoice you can print off from Zencart Admin, does anyone know how I can do this? Its basically the ID# from ZC admin to get it to show on the invoice you can print in admin.

Any help appreciated.

Anyone?

I have to change accounts system and for new one must have a unique account number for each customer and most obvious number to use is the zen id, but on new accounts system you can only search by the id number so it needs to show on the invoice thats printed off for me to enter all info into accounts package. Any help would be appreciated as I need to add this number manually to around 4000 records before I can change to new accounts system and dont want to start this long process until I know the zen ID number can be added to the invoice.

When you say zen ID are you meaning the zenid?

The zenid is a session id and will never be the same again for anyone as once it times out it is gone ...

The customers_id is unique to the customer and that remains the same for everything related to the customer ... perhaps that would be a better choice on what to use?

Hi - yes its the unique customer ID created by zencart for each customer. I've added a screenshot from admin below showing the ID# I mean, currently the name, address, phone number etc shows on the invoice you can print from admin but not this ID number.

You can reference it on the invoice.php by using:
$order->customer['id']

OK - will see if I can get that done.
Thanks again - been tearing my hair out trying to sort this

If you peek in the orders.php class, you will see all of the built in arrays such as:

      $this->info = array('currency' => $order->fields['currency'],
                          'currency_value' => $order->fields['currency_value'],
                          'payment_method' => $order->fields['payment_method'],
                          'payment_module_code' => $order->fields['payment_module_code'],
                          'shipping_method' => $order->fields['shipping_method'],
                          'shipping_module_code' => $order->fields['shipping_module_code'],
                          'coupon_code' => $order->fields['coupon_code'],
                          'cc_type' => $order->fields['cc_type'],
                          'cc_owner' => $order->fields['cc_owner'],
                          'cc_number' => $order->fields['cc_number'],
                          'cc_cvv' => $order->fields['cc_cvv'],
                          'cc_expires' => $order->fields['cc_expires'],
                          'date_purchased' => $order->fields['date_purchased'],
                          'orders_status' => $order->fields['orders_status'],
                          'total' => $order->fields['order_total'],
                          'tax' => $order->fields['order_tax'],
                          'last_modified' => $order->fields['last_modified'],
                          'ip_address' => $order->fields['ip_address']
                          );

that indicates a call to:
$order->info['payment_method']

would give the payment method used ...

or a call to:
$order->info[orders_status']

would give the orders_status ...

If you look through the file, you will see the other calls that can be used and how the fields are referenced ...
