Dear all,

I have been having problems with the combine use of PDF Order Centre (PDFOC) and Big Royal Mail module.

The problem is when my customer chooses to use royal mail as shipping method. In the invoice PDF file generated, a html code was displayed on the shipping method line just above the total amount line.

I have been looking at the code of invoice.php in the PDFOC mod, I can see they use a function namely PDFOC_html_cleanup, believe to be function more or less the same as striptag(). Every other defined objects have their html tags removed, but for the shipping method. It stays.

Later I have realised that shipping method was declared as a CharVar in the order table of shipping method field. I then have change the variable type to adapt the long html text. Problem still persist.

I then use zen cart admin – order – packing slip. It display perfectly in the browser. So I am sure that the shipping method was taken from elsewhere.

Now question. In the order table of MySQL database, shipping method field. What is the purpose of this field, if system read from this field, when? And where it display?

In the admin – order – packing slip that generated, where is the shipping method code they draw from? Is it possible to rewrite the code to draw the shipping method code from the same place of where the packing slip generate.?

Many thanks in advance for help and suggestion.

Dear All,

This has been bugging me for more than six months now. Trying to sign up the forum in nl but never got approved. Since I can't speak dutch, it's logical that I ask for help here.

PDFOC generate my invoices and packing slip, it's an wonderful addon. But I am never able to get the shipping text show proper on prints. Reason being is becasue the shipping mod I use contain html code and PDFOC may had made no provision to clean it up. So..... it looks something like this on the print out.

I have been looking at the code, and PDFOC do clean up html code, but I can never find where the shipping method text in the whole of this invoice template file. Below is the code that shows PDFOC do use html clean up in their code.

            //
            if ($pos < PDFOC_BOTTOM_MARGIN) {
               $secondpage = true;
               return;
            }
          $pdf->ezSetY($pos);
          $cy = $pdf->ezText(zen_date_short($orders_comments->fields['date_added']) ,7); // 7 is font size here
          $pdf->ezText("<b>". PDFOC_TEXT_COMMENTS . "</b>",PDFOC_COMMENTS_FONT_SIZE);
          $cx = $pdf->getTextWidth(PDFOC_COMMENTS_FONT_SIZE,PDFOC_TEXT_COMMENTS) + PDFOC_LEFT_MARGIN;
          $pdf->ezSetY($cy);
          $y = $pdf->ezText(pdfoc_html_cleanup($orders_comments->fields['comments']),PDFOC_COMMENTS_FONT_SIZE, array('aleft'=>$cx+10));
          $pos = ($y -5);
        
        }  // EOIF zen_not_null 

So why the shipping method got html code??? Please help, you make me one very happy man once I get a clearly printed invoice. Many many thanks for you help.

Hi Ajeh,

You have come to my rescue once again! Good question, that is excatly it. I can't find where the shipping_method_text are in the whole of the php file. Can I forward the file to you?

Let me try and find one I had to work on and see if I had to address this issue ... might be a few ...

[gamenano]

Ok, Thank you very very much!

[Ajeh]

I don't remember the original line but see if you have something similar:

    $pdf->ezText("<b>" . pdfoc_html_cleanup($order->totals[$i]['title']) . "</b>",PDFOC_TABLE_HEADER_FONT_SIZE,array('justification'=> 'right','aright'=>$x));
