Hi,
i'm using your component and it work fine, the only thing i need is the possibility to print delivery note and invoice from the frontend by the user. I want that a user can print himself his document in the "View order" page of the account maintenance, there is a way to do that?
Tank so much
and sorry my bad english

I've found the solution to my previous post, so I decided to post it here.
The solution is quite simple, this is the step to follow:

• 1 - Copy the forder
  /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/pdf
  to
  /components/com_virtuemart/pdf
  this need for generate pdf from the frontend
  
  2 - Modify the file
  /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/ps_order.php
  adding the following code near line 659 after

  Code: Select all

  while ($db->next_record()) {
  			$order_status = ps_order_status::getOrderStatusName($db->f("order_status"));
  			$listObj->newRow();

  insert this code

  Code: Select all

  // Inizio - Delivery - Invoice nella pagina Visualizza Ordini
  			// Select the delivery and the bill ids for the order selected
  			$dbDelivery = new ps_DB;
  			$qDelivery = "SELECT bill_id, delivery_id FROM #__{vm}_bills WHERE order_id=".$db->f("order_id");
  			$dbDelivery->query($qDelivery);
  
  			$dbDelivery->next_record();
  			
  			// Check if there is a generated delivery for the order
  			if($dbDelivery->f('delivery_id'))
  			{
  				// Insert a link and a image (documento.png) for download of the delivery note
  				$tmp_cell = "<a href=\"index2.php?page=order.order_print&func=deliveryNoteAsPDF&format=printpdf&tmpl=component&order_id=".$db->f("order_id")."&no_menu=1&no_html&delivery_id=".$dbDelivery->f('delivery_id')."&option=com_virtuemart&vmtoken=".vmSpoofValue($sess->getSessionId())."&gen=delnote\">";
  				$tmp_cell .= "<img src=\"".IMAGEURL."ps_image/documento.png\" height=\"32\" width=\"32\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" />";
  				$tmp_cell .= "<br />DDT</a>";
  				$listObj->addCell($tmp_cell); 
  			}
  			else
  			{
  				// Insert an image (no-documento.png) that rapresent that the delivery was not yet generated
  				$listObj->addCell("<img src=\"".IMAGEURL."ps_image/no-documento.png\" height=\"32\" width=\"32\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" />");
  			}
  			
  			// Check if there is a generated bill for the order
  			if($dbDelivery->f('bill_id'))
  			{
  			    // Insert a link and a image (documento.png) for download of the bill 
  				$tmp_cell = "<a href=\"index2.php?page=order.order_print&func=deliveryNoteAsPDF&format=printpdf&tmpl=component&order_id=".$db->f("order_id")."&no_menu=1&no_html&delivery_id=".$dbDelivery->f("bill_id")."&option=com_virtuemart&vmtoken=".vmSpoofValue($sess->getSessionId())."&gen=bill\">";
  				$tmp_cell .= "<img src=\"".IMAGEURL."ps_image/documento.png\" height=\"32\" width=\"32\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" />";
  				$tmp_cell .= "<br />Fattura</a>";
  				$listObj->addCell($tmp_cell); 
  			}
  			else
  			{
  			    // Insert an image (no-documento.png) that rapresent that the bill was not yet generated
  				$listObj->addCell("<img src=\"".IMAGEURL."ps_image/no-documento.png\" height=\"32\" width=\"32\" align=\"middle\" border=\"0\" />");
  			}
  			// Fine - Delivery - Invoice nella pagina Visualizza Ordini
  

  3 - Upload to the folder
  /components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/ps_image/
  the file "documento.png" and "no-documento.png"
  
  4 - Check if all work correctly in "Account Maintenance"->"View Order" page

I think that with this "addon" hte component is better because now each user can print himself the invoice and the delivery note needed if the user need the guarantee and he lose the original email.
I've tried to upload the documento.png and the no-documento.png but I get an error from the server but you can build your own.
I build this modify for site http://www.diveevolution.it and if you have any question you can contact my using the form on my site http://www.riccardovalenti.it
Tanks to all
Bye

Hi, thank you for this information.

Jan

Works like a charm !!!
BUT:
You must allow shoppers to access deliveryNoteAsPDF function or only admin can print his frontend orders.
HERE IT IS:
Virtuemart>Admin menu>List Functions>deliveryNoteAsPDF>Function Perms
Add Shopper to Admin and Storeadmin.

Hi,
I have exactly the same problem, no idea of a solution?

The problem is in the ps_order file, the url in the link to the delivery.pdf file is:
$tmp_cell = "<a href=\"index2.php?page=order.order_print&func=deliveryNoteAsPDF&format=printpdf&tmpl=component&order_id=" .$db->f("order_id")."&no_menu=1&no_html&delivery_id='.$dbb->f('bill_id').'&option=com_virtuemart&vmtoken=".vmSpoofValue($sess->getSessionId())."&gen=bill\" target=\"_blank\">\n";
You have to place the delivery_id in place of the bill_id next to ... &delivery_id= and it will work fine!

Hy,
Thanks for your clue.
Here is what I did :

In VM admin, module list, Order : functions list -> deliveryNoteAsPDF (ps_delivery and pdf_output), I add shopper to admin and admin store as you suggested.

Now, regular shopper can open a pdf delivery from frontend .. BUT

there is a bug : the bill is empty : no information about their order... why are data missing ?

Accessed by an admin, it works like a charm.

Thanks in advance for your help.
