Catalog Invoice Support Thread

Catalog Invoice allows your customers to create their own invoices from past orders on their My Account page.

Scott... the FUNCTIONS file... invoice_functions.php

... is configured to return MM/DD/YY

Here in the UK, we read the date as DD/MM/YY

What changes need to happen with this code to render date as DD/MM/YY ?

<?php
  // Functions for catalog side invoice

if (!function_exists('zen_datetime_short')) {
  function zen_datetime_short($raw_datetime) {
    if ( ($raw_datetime == '0001-01-01 00:00:00') || ($raw_datetime == '') ) return false;

    $year = (int)substr($raw_datetime, 0, 4);
    $month = (int)substr($raw_datetime, 5, 2);
    $day = (int)substr($raw_datetime, 8, 2);
    $hour = (int)substr($raw_datetime, 11, 2);
    $minute = (int)substr($raw_datetime, 14, 2);
    $second = (int)substr($raw_datetime, 17, 2);

    return strftime(DATE_TIME_FORMAT, mktime($hour, $minute, $second, $month, $day, $year));
  }
}

Additionally - and for interest's sake, I added a JS print function to the end of the main invoice.php file

At the bottom:

<!-- body_text_eof //-->

<br> 

<!-- body_text_eof //-->

<br /><p><button onclick="printFunction()">Print This Page</button><script>function printFunction(){window.print();}</script></p> 

... allows customers to PRINT by clicking the button.

PS: The <br> tag needs closing, surely? <br />

Modify DATE_TIME_FORMAT in includes/languages/<YOUR_TEMPLATE>/english.php

First of all thank you for this add-on. I've installed the add-on as instructed but I get a file not found message when I click on the invoice button. Any ideas why?

[swguy]

Check each of the files in includes and make sure they have in fact uploaded correctly.

Version 1.1 has been uploaded, adding the invoice to the account history page (previously it was just on the my account page).

Is there a way to change the invoice link in the email sent out to the customer so that it uses this new invoice page?

At present it goes to the entirely unsatisfactory account history page.

I think the change has to go into classes/order.php somewhere a bit after line 1000 but I'm not sure what or where

[swguy]

In includes/classes/order.php look for the line saying

EMAIL_TEXT_INVOICE_URL . ' ' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT_HISTORY_INFO, 'order_id=' . $zf_insert_id, 'SSL', false) . "\n\n";

it's on line 1069 in 1.5.7c. Just adjust that to point to FILENAME_INVOICE instead.

Sadly, that's one of the things I'd tried (and failed with) before asking.

It generates a link to [siteurl]/index.php?main_page=invoice&oID=123456 instead of to [siteurl]/invoice.php&oID=123456

[swguy]

Yep, you're right.

Instead of
zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT_HISTORY_INFO, 'order_id=' . $zf_insert_id, 'SSL', false)

use something like

HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . 'invoice.php?order_id='.$zf_insert_id
