Zencart attaches file just fine. In fact, I wrote a module that uses the pdf invoice center, to send email to customers everytime a new order is placed (with the pdf invoice attached)

Hi

I have installed this now, and trying to get it working without making any changes, so that I can prove the basic code is working.

When I press the email pdf button, it just displays a blank page, with Inernet explorer cannot display the web page.

This is the address it shows in the address bar.

www. chalfontgifts.co.uk/shop/admindir/pdfmail.php?oID=100231&[email protected]

I have changed the email name,domain and placed a space after www. for security, but it does show the correct email for the order selected and does not have the space in, when on the live site.

Any ideas what can cause this.

Laurie

possibly your different admin dir path... if its saying the page cannot be found, is it correct in looking for pdfmail.php in /shop/admindir/ ??

[chalfontgifts]

Thanks for the resonse. I think that part of the path is correct.

If I add this &action=email_to manually to the end of the url, it does bring a page up with the email editor on it.

Not sure if this is what it is supposed to bring up, but the action part of the url appears to be missing when I press the button from the orders page.

Any idea why that is missing ?

Laurie
