Invoice-to-PDF Mailer [support thread]

[hayden]

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)

it might just, but i couldnt work it out, and there was comments in the code that it was buggy and unfinished.


so where this module of urs ??

and also made directoryes writebel

/admin/dompdf/lib/fonts
I am using 1.3.8a version of Zen Cart.

Best regards Zoli.

This is part of the observer class I used, this is all it takes to attach the (created) file to the email confirmation of the order:

function update(&$class, $eventID, $paramArray) {
    global $order;
      $file = $this->createOrderPdf($paramArray['zf_insert_id']);
    $order->attachArray = $file;
  } 

Note: this is for 1.3.8, not tested on any previous version

$file is path to file btw.

I get 2 errors when using this addon:

1. Where is FILENAME_ORDER_EDIT defined? I cannot find it anywhere.

2. When I click 'Email PDF' button, received this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NEW in /home/username/public_html/admin/dompdf/include/functions.inc.php on line 240

if u dont have this installed it should just be this:



if (sizeof($order->products) > 0) {
$contents[] = array('align' => 'center', 'text' => '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ORDERS, zen_get_all_get_params(array('oID', 'action')) . 'oID=' . $oInfo->orders_id . '&action=edit', 'NONSSL') . '">' . zen_image_button('button_edit.gif', IMAGE_EDIT) . '</a>');
}
break;
}


########
you want it to look like this:
########




if (sizeof($order->products) > 0) {

$contents[] = array('align' => 'center', 'text' => '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ORDERS, zen_get_all_get_params(array('oID', 'action')) . 'oID=' . $oInfo->orders_id . '&action=edit', 'NONSSL') . '">' . zen_image_button('button_edit.gif', IMAGE_EDIT) . '</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="pdfmail.php?oID=' . $oInfo->orders_id . '&email=' . $order->customer['email_address'] . '">' . zen_image_button('button_pdf.gif', 'Email PDF') . '</a>'');

}

break;

}

2. When I click 'Email PDF' button, received this error: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_NEW in /home/username/public_html/admin/dompdf/include/functions.inc.php on line 240

its hard to tell, as all the code in that dompdf file should be original and touched bar the config file... u could try re-uploading it , or getting it from src again, but it may be something else maybe server or invoice.php related...

i even checked out line 240 and traced it back a bit , to function called dec2roman, but no clues to why ur getting the error,
240:

 throw new DOMPDF_Exception("dec2roman() requires a numeric argument.");

theres what looks like something similiar being written about here:
http://www.mail-archive.com/php-gene...msg188994.html

Has anybody out there actually gotten this to work ??
(i imagine so.. but cant be sure)



sorry im not much help, but its a bit over my head right now...
