Modifying Invoice

[Mitchell]

HI,

When you check the view invoice in the admin area, I need to add the URL Address and the sites / Listing Title to the invoice so it is easier to identfy.

Any idea how I can add that to the theme / invoice.html?

But I want to add the following;

Title:
URL:

I tried this but didn't work!

Any idea what is the correct code please?

title and url are not avaialble variables, you would have to add them to invoice.php

Is it just simply done by adding;
<%$title%> or <%$url%> to the invoice.html file or there is more to it? I did try that and didn't work, I also added some code to the invoice.php file as well but no luck.

[Bruceper]

Using <%$title%> or <%$url%> on invoice.html is called the variable, but on the invoice.php there has to be a function that makes them available.

I've never tried to modify invoice.php as I've never had the need to do it. From the code in invoice.php it looks like it's pulling all the data from idx_invoice and idx_invoice_config. You would have to modify the script a bit so you could merge idx_link and pull the url and title

May I suggest to add that to the standard version of Indexu?

In the invoice there is a field which says Description, I do not think that is necessary as a description could be a page or two long and it doesn’t look good in the invoice, but The Listing name and URL address is very useful for every one so they can identify the owner of the invoice easily.

One individual can have more than one listing, so just having their name there wouldn't be enough and link ID is not some thing that every one can remember but the listing TITLE and URL will be very easy for identifying the listing.

I can sure mention it. Not sure why it wouldn't be there, perhaps I'll find out when I ask about it.

We're working on it today. Please wait.

your request has been updated, you can check it on svn (885).

Hi,

Now it shows the "Title:" and "URL:" but not the actual title and URL;
Have a look here please;

[Bruceper]

I'll leave this one with Dody and make sure he takes a look when he's online tonight.

hello mitchell,

you have to create the new one, because the old data un include the link_id.

note: we have commited the invoice update at svn (887)

Hi Nakos,
thank you, I have updated it to the new one and added a new listing but still the same!!
I tired it on two different sites, hosted in two different countries.

Do I have to change the database as well?
Cheers

Another issue,
After adding these fields (SVN887) now when I create a new invoice, I receive an email that there is a new invoice but it is not in the admin's unpaid or overdue invoices and the amount, issue date and due dates are not there either;
Here it s sample

[Bruceper]

Nakos will answer definitavely, but I would guess that there are database changes to be made.
