Thanks for the extra pointers, Gareth.
However, it looks too much like hard work for me atm.
May try later.
Cheers

Hello!

I have problems with this module... I have transfered all files to my server but PDF Invoice is not showing up anywhere. Admin -> Orders -> not displayed; Admin -> Configuration -> nothing also.

What am I doing wrong here???

[manojlo_bg]

OK, I have managed to install it. I also edit the looks of my PDF invoice. BUT, I have added one extra field under the 'Company' field in registration page, and now I would like do display this field in my PDF invoice. I have looked everything how to do it, but I'm stuck... PLEASE HELP! :)

Yes, I forgot, my date format on invoice is m/d/y, I would like to change it to d/m/y, but I don't know how.... Please... I will by you all a beer!

Probably is about 15mb due to having alot of raw code fonts in it and a few pdf's in need of a bit of optimisation.

The tricky bit other than the £ sign was getting the PDF invoice it generates down to a manageable amount my first attempt they were coming out at 784k each. Ive now got them down to 123k with a decent font the lowest i have got them is 46k but that was with a dreadful font.

Fixed the £ issue there is a zen cart mod that tells you how to convert your cart to UTF-8 follow the instructions from that. You need to edit both admin and non admin english.php's and put an extra line of code in another file to tell zen cart to read and write correctly to the mysql database.

The only downside to this is its strangely now broke the watermarks on my image handler 2 mod. Which i now need to go and do some homework on.

On a serious note now ive marstered this mod i seriously dont know why it has had only 3 downloads. Its up there with ceons mods. I was getting about 5-6 invoice requests per day through email even tho we send a printed copy with the goods.

Gareth

Hi Gareth,

Can you tell me how you: "Fixed the £ issue there is a zen cart mod that tells you how to convert your cart to UTF-8 follow the instructions from that. You need to edit both admin and non admin english.php's and put an extra line of code in another file to tell zen cart to read and write correctly to the mysql database"

Do you use this: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=601

I have the same problem with accents French and i search it for many month (maybe 10months) can you give me the code or link please!

Which policy you use? to down to 123k with a decent font ? included or not with rl invoice 3 ?

thanks

Hi Steve
Have you solved "I have a problem with it at the moment in that it creates pdfs on demand from the Admin but does not create them automatically when an order is made" problem?

I had the same problem. If the invoice has been created from Admin, everything is fine; otherwise, the invoice is not available on the order history page. I think it should be caused by

[SCR]else {
$tmp .= '| <a href="' . str_replace(DIR_FS_CATALOG, '', $v['file']) . '">'. $v['name'] . '</a>';[/SCR]

but not sure how to fix it.

Thanks
Davis

Hi,
I am trying out this module

http://demo.zen-cart.at/docs/rl_invoice3/index_en.html

to produce pdf invoices automatically, and have them available for download by the customer.

I am surprised to not find any reference to this in the forum, is anyone using this module?

I have a problem with it at the moment in that it creates pdfs on demand from the Admin but does not create them automatically when an order is made,

regards
Steve

[torvista]

does not create them automatically when an order is made" problem?

After getting this to work many moons ago I ended up not using it because we produce all invoices from our invoicing software, not Zen Cart.

I can't remember the solution and I have nothing in my notes about it.

What I do have is a reply from the author concerning the [RE]send option which has been asked previously but not answered:

You can set multiple order states to define when the pdf invoice should be attached to the order status update emails.
The module creates a new order status 100. It's up to you if you use it or not.
Changing an order to status 100 will then attach the pdf invoice to the order status update email (notify customer has to be checked).
Multiple order stati have to be separated by a pipe symbol so
3|100 means that the pdf is attached to orders when the status changes to 3 and also when it changes to 100 (by default 3 = shipped)

Hi, I know that some time has passed, but I find this module very useful.
Everything works perfectly except for one thing, the GBP pound sign - £ - appears on the pdf as a question mark.
I am new in these things, but I read and tried everything but without success.
My biggest hope for success was converting cart to UTF-8 format, but this also did not help.
All other symbols of currencies is seen properly, euro, dollar and etc. only the GBP symbol not!
My cart is 1.3.9h
Please if anyone can help me I would be very grateful.
Thank you!

Charset UTF-8 will present other problems in your product listing.

Warning to anyone thinking of trying this and has edit orders installed,, beware, edit orders will be wiped out.

[gth73bg]

Hi Carl, you're right. I get the same problem after conversion into UTF-8. Unfortunately I do not remember exactly how, but with my minimal knowledge or no knowledge on this topic, if I must be honest, I managed to solve this problem quickly and now everything is fine. I think this happens because I forgot to convert some tables, but I'm not 100% sure.
Anyway, the conversion into UTF-8 is required not only for the specific problem that I have but for support other languages ​​such as Russian, Chinese, etc.
Problem remains, I will be grateful if anyone incorporate with the concrete suggestion.
Thank you!

Hi all,

Having issues with rl_invoice3(version 3.0.512) and zencart version 1.39h and this is the error message that I am getting:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class FPDF in /home/content/o/u/t/outdoorking/html/includes/pdf/fpdf.php on line 13

The pdf invoice stopped working when the update was done in May this year and we are lost for an answer as to why it has happened.

If anyone can help it would be appreciated.
