strange behaviour in PDF INVOICE

[nicmare]

I user pdf invoice and it works great.

but there is a problem with the totals.

it makes me <b> tags. but why?

look at my attachment please.

i tried on my own to solve this bye looking through the code of invoice.php:

...
for ($i = 0, $n = sizeof($order->totals); $i < $n; $i++) {

$pdf->SetY($Y_Table_Position + 5);
$pdf->SetX(102);
$temp = substr ($order->totals[$i]['text'],0 ,3);
//if ($i == 3) $pdf->Text(10,10,$temp);
if ($temp == '<b>')
	{
	$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',10);
	$temp2 = substr($order->totals[$i]['text'], 3);
	$order->totals[$i]['text'] = substr($temp2, 0, strlen($temp2)-4);
	}

$pdf->MultiCell(94,6,$order->totals[$i]['title'] . ' ' . $order->totals[$i]['text'],0,'R');
$Y_Table_Position += 5;
...

but nothing really helps

 

does anybody has an idea?

best regards

the <B> tag stands for bold, I think you have a double tag in your invoice

so lets say you open bold by typing <b> and then there's a <b> again followed by </b> and another </b>

you've gotta remove those double tags

Hi,

 

I've got the same problem and so I decided to look for a solution for that "bug".

 

In the SQL-table "orders_total" there's a field called "title". In that field there's written the <b>- tag for total. So you get a bold- tag for your pdf-file, which obviously can't be used.

The solution is to withdraw the <b>-tag with a PHP- instruction:

 

1.) Open catalog/admin/invoice.php

 

2.) Search for this code:

for ($i = 0, $n = sizeof($order->totals); $i < $n; $i++) { (near by 234)

 

3.) Replace the for - loop with the following code:

 

for ($i = 0, $n = sizeof($order->totals); $i < $n; $i++) {

 $temp3 = strip_tags($order->totals[$i]['title']);
$pdf->SetY($Y_Table_Position + 5);
$pdf->SetX(102);
$temp = substr ($order->totals[$i]['text'], 0, 3);
//if ($i == 3) $pdf->Text(10,10,$temp);
if ($temp == '<b>')
	{
	$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',10);
	$temp2 = substr($order->totals[$i]['text'], 3);
	// $temp2 = substr($order->totals[$i]['text'], 3);
$order->totals[$i]['text'] = substr($temp2, 0, strlen($temp2)-4);
	}
$pdf->MultiCell(94,6, $temp3 . ' ' . $order->totals[$i]['text'],0,'R');
$Y_Table_Position += 5;
}

 

4. Reload your page and your problem should be solved.

 

If you have any further questions you can contact me in German or English.
