G'day all,

I would like to use the Invoice Addon for Virtuemart, I am using the Joomla 1.5.4/Virtuemart 1.1.1.
I have attempted to get the Addon working in the version that I am using. I am able to have it install, the install displays confirmation of successful install, I edit the files according to the instructions but nothing displays in either Admin Panel or as a PDF email.

I have 2 test servers running and 1 live site that once my testing is complete, I make the changes on the live server. All running the same versions and each have the same result, each configuration done independently to prevent errors during an upload. Files have been edited independently as well.

Using the email test module it does send out the test email ok. But when doing a test purchase the email that is sent is in html not PDF. In the Virtuemart Control Panel, the Virtuemart Addon Invoice Module is not listed or able to be configured as no Invoice Tabs or PDF is visible.

I admit that I am not a coder, but I have been testing Joomla/Virtuemart for about 12 months and am familiar with its configuration. I have friends who can code take a look at the instruction manual and at the changes that are recommended and it appears that I had made the changes correctly, but I may still have done something wrong.

But in an effort to save the little amount of hair that I have left, is the current version of the Virtuemart Invoice Addon compatible with the current version Joomla 1.5.4 / Virtuemart 1.1.1 stable?
If I can get the module working, I'm happy to contribute donations to the future development of the Virtuemart Invoice Addon.

Thank you for your efforts and assistance and thank you for your advise.

Kindest Regards,

Craig.

Hi, the Email TEST addon only test your site, if it can send e-mail with PDF attachment (php memory limit)...

So if you have installed the
IDnR Addon and then the IDnR Email TEST addon, then the IDnR Addon produces PDF's which you can see in your browser. The IDnR Email TEST addon don't produces any PDF, it only sends the email with prepared PDF file (file you have copied while installation) ... This way you will know that the PDF creating is working (IDnR) and Seding of E-mails is working too (IDnR Email TEST)

G'day Jan,

Thanks for replying. I did manage to get the delivery tab working after some changes, but I now have since update VM to 1.1.2 and so far the Order List has completely changed. I have to start over on my test server to see if I can get the IDnR_addon to work.

Regards,
Craig.

ok, please let me know if it works...

Hi Jan,

I was encouraged with another post here with someone getting it to work with the Joomla 1.5.5 + VM 1.1.2, so I grabbed the updates and upgraded my test server with the update and made changed according to the instructions here. I have the same result on my live server.

I can get the delivery tab to show with the pdf icon and print pdf works, but I cant get the email function to work. The email icon doesnt show at all, but it could be just me. What I also need to do now is to modify the invoice layout to suite Australian Tax Layouts and the Company Logo presently shows larger than its field and is magnified to overlay the customer fields.

I went through the order.order_print.php and the edit needed to go on line 147 as the file has changed.

<?php
$tab->endTab();
$tab->startTab( $VM_LANG->_('PHPSHOP_ORDER_HISTORY'), "order_history_page" );
$tab->startTab( $VM_LANG->_('VM_DELIVERY_TAB_LBL'), "delivery_pane" );
require_once(CLASSPATH.'ps_order_delivery.php');
$tab->endTab();
?>

I would appreciate some guidance how to get the email invoice function to work please.

Kindest Regards,
Craig

Hi, the layout can be edited here:

\administrator\components\com_virtuemart\pdf\delivery.pdf.php
\administrator\components\com_virtuemart\pdf\phoca.tcpdf.php

G'day Jan,

Thanks for the heads up on where to edit the Invoice layout, it will save some time.

Have you any ideas why the Email Invoice function is not available through the delivery TAB? The icons dont show there for some reason.

Regards,

Craig.

no idea , maybe some file are missed while copying ...

Hi Jan,

I thought might have been a possibility, andI already checked and all files were there, and file sizes correct. What attributes should they have? Other file attributes are set to either 755 or 644. Folders that require writable attributes are also correct.

Also I checked to make sure that all files were associated during the install process.
If I find the solution, I'll post it.

Regards,

Craig.

ok

What attributes should they have?
if you have 644, then you cannot manipulate with the files... but there are other options too... enabel or disable FTP layer, Ownership of files, etc...
