Invoice-to-PDF Mailer [support thread]

[chalfontgifts]

Hi all

I have not installed this yet, but was wondering if some of you could give me some advise.

I would like to use this contribution, but make a few changes to it, and wondered if you could maybe point me in the right direction for where to make these changes.

The changes I require are as follows :

1) I want to change the email address that the pdf file is sent to. I would like this to be a fixed email address, that is hard coded into the pdfmail.php file. I would also like it to send a copy to the address that is setup in admin for new orders to be recieved.

2) If I wanted the pdf to be the packing slip instead, where would I change this.

3) How could I get the pdf to be downloaded to a location on my local hard drive, after it has saved it in the invoices folder on the web server.

4) If I wanted to just create a pdf and downlod it, without sending it via email, how could this be done.

Thanks for any assistance you can give.

Regards
Laurie

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.

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 ?

this is how it is after clicking the button on a working system: /pdfmail.php?oID=14&[email protected]

[chalfontgifts]

Ok that is what I have after clicking the button. Just brings up a blank page, and the path is correct.

What is the latest version of this contribution ? Where do I get the latest version. Just need to be sure it is the latest version before I start looking in the code.

Any other ideas.

this would be it here: http://www.hthring.com/public/invoic...mailer_v01.zip

[chalfontgifts]

Ok I have downloaded from there, and uploaded all files again, just to be sure there were not differences in what we are both looking at.

When I click the button, it does create the pdf file in the invoices directory, but still brings up a blank page.

What should be on the page ?

[chalfontgifts]

To add to the above. Still no progress on the above.
When i look in the server logs it shows this.
