Invoice hack, step by step

[Micha]

Hi Joomlers,

Is there a way tot test step by step the printing of a invoice?
I'am trying now for a year to make this hack working on my site. I installed before and they work fine but on my own site NOT. The only thing i get is a pdf (not in the browser but FF download it). When i rename the pdf to html i'll see this in the file:

Code: Select all

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/babymore/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_delivery.php(514) : eval()'d code on line 81

Fatal error: Class 'PDF' not found in /home/babymore/public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_delivery.php on line 515

I read in the VirtueMart forum that you can set after the url the tekst: &testmode=1 When i do that i see the pdf template in the browser and it looks like:

Code: Select all

Image('/home/babymore/public_html/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/vendor/ff51738d681b768b6cd30b643aeb28f9.jpg',20,15,70);	
		$this->SetX(-107);
		$this->SetFont('Arial','B',15);
		$this->Cell(80,10,' Factuur',0,0,'R');
		$this->Ln(40);
		$this->SetX(-107);
		$this->SetFont('Arial','B',9);
		if("2" != '') {
			$this->Cell(24,5,'Factuur nr.',0,0,'C');
		} else {
			$this->Cell(24,5,'Datum',0,0,'L');
		}
		$this->Cell(28,5,'Order nr.',0,0,'C');
                --- cut -----

Everythings woking exept generate the pdf file. I normaly (on other sites) get a page with the invoice and i can print that. I know that this forum is for J1.5 but thats my next step. Joomla settings: Gzip is off, extra tab is there, add invoice ok, delete order etc. is working fine. I have read the forum 100 times and tested all the written options but non are working for me
Please help me with this problem. What steps can i do to test the process step by step.

Hi Jan, for your information i use J1.0.15 an VM1.0.15. But today i found the bug
In the delivery costs i had programed "TNT Post <20KG" and this is one of the problems. The sign < i can not use!?

The second problem i had was the user City. For testing i always used my own city: 's-Hertogenbosch
The sign ' is also a wrong thing. That's why i get no pdf prints.

So i changed all the delivery options to "TNT Post max 20KG"
But for the City data i have no solution
I now use: s-Hertogenbosch but in the Netherlands you have many city's that use the ' sign so there must be a solution. Prints are well now and i now know what's going wrong. Cost me a year to fined out
Why can't i use the < and ' signs? Do you have a solution?

Hi, this addon works only under Joomla! 1.5 (it uses Joomla! 1.5 framework for creating PDFs)
