[CONTRIBUTION] PDF Customer Invoice

[chris23]

My http server is shop.pipeloops.com, the https server is sssl.kundenserver.de/shop.pipeloops.com (guess you know that's 1und1?). The link properties show

https://ssl.kundenserver.de/shop.pipeloops.com//pdfinvoice.php?order_id=87&osCsid=986e4610ca58f9955e0fa8d54fafbf56

. When I click the link, I get "Internet explorer caanot download pdfinvoice.php from sssl.kundenserver.de".

Any idea?

A quick question, any plans for a batch print option - using FPDF in the future?

 

Hi Jodes,

 

Thanks for your comments.

 

Regarding your query, what exactly are you after? I'm guessing you're after something like a checkbox next to each order on the order details page, then a "Bulk PDF Print" button that will generate one single PDF with each selected order "page-breaked" within the PDF??

 

If you give me a full idea of what you want, I'll give it some though (no promises mind!)

 

Cheers

Chris,

 

I just finished installing PDF Packing Slip. Another GREAT contribution. PDF Invoice and PDF Packing Slip together give the store a cohesive, professional look.

 

I do have one comment, and one question.

 

The comment. In the instruction for modifying catalog/admin/orders.php

<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ORDERS_INVOICE, 'oID=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['oID']) . '" TARGET="_blank">' . tep_image_button('button_invoice.gif', IMAGE_ORDERS_INVOICE) . '</a> <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PDF_PACKINGSLIP, 'oID=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['oID']) . '" TARGET="_blank">' . tep_image_button('button_packingslip_pdf.gif', IMAGE_ORDERS_PDF_PACKINGSLIP) . '</a>

and

<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ORDERS_INVOICE, 'oID=' . $_GET['oID']) . '" TARGET="_blank">' . tep_image_button('button_invoice.gif', IMAGE_ORDERS_INVOICE) . '</a> <a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PDF_PACKINGSLIP, 'oID=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['oID']) . '" TARGET="_blank">' . tep_image_button('button_packingslip_pdf.gif', IMAGE_ORDERS_PDF_PACKINGSLIP) . '</a>

The last part of each line has

tep_image_button('button_packingslip_pdf.gif', IMAGE_ORDERS_PDF_PACKINGSLIP)

.

That should read

tep_image_button('button_pdfpackingslip.gif', IMAGE_ORDERS_PDF_PACKINGSLIP)

That matches the actual button name, button_pdfpackingslip.gif.

 

Question. Where dose the top line above put the button?

 

Again, great contribution.

 

Thanks,

Rick

Chris,

 

I installed the PDF Packing Slip contrib today and it works beautifully. I also installed the PDF Invoice Email contribution. That didn't go as well. After installing the contrib I ran a test sale and instead of the sale completing and the customer getting the confirmation email, the customer is redirected to the customer_history page. The order confirmation email is not sent to store owner or customer, but the order does show up in the customer_history page as pending and it shows up in admin/orders, also as pending. Also, the customers session is not closed out as it would be with a completed order. I probably put the code in checkout_process.php in the wrong place, I have a very heavily modified store and adding new contributions sometimes get a bit tricky. Any idea what I may have done wrong?

 

Thanks again,

Rick

Quick correction to the above. The customer is redirected to the account_history page.

Yes, exactly - nothing fancy just something to make it a little easier when processing orders for the day.

 

I tried to edit a couple of the other batch print modules, but i'm not a coder (although can find my way about) and haven't had any experience with the PDF programs so don't understand exactly how they function, but had no luck.

 

Thanks again for your help.

Hi Rick,

 

Pleased you like the contrib.

 

You have two entries for the button as the orders.php page runs in two "modes", the preview mode that details all orders, plus the edit / view page that actually allows you to process the order. In order to have a packing slip button on each "mode", you need the two entries

Hi Chris,

 

thanks for your reply. This post applied to a problem in the admin part, Ihave the problem fromt he user account_history_info.php. I adapted the link as follows:

			<td  class="main"><?php echo tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'pdf.gif', 'PDF invoice','','','style="vertical-align:middle"') . sprintf(PDF_DOWNLOAD_LINK,
		tep_href_link(FILENAME_CUSTOMER_PDF, 'order_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['oID'] . '&passthruID=' . $pass_phrase_hash, 'SSL')); ?></td>

which now bounces me back to the account_history.php. Must be something more missing. Any idea?

 

Thanks

Tried installing PDF Customer Invoice 1.1 on RC2a today: straightforward installation, but will not work for me.

 

Noticed that the SQL completes and only the first 16 of the 18 items in the Admin config are present - yet the SQL statement does have all 18.

 

Any thoughts?

Chris,

 

I made the modification shown in post 292, but that didn't change things much. Yesterday when I added the contribution I think (underline think) the test sales redirected the customer to account_history regardless of whether Attach PDF Invoice was set True or False. After the change to include_once, the customer is redirected to account_history only if Attach PDF Invoice is set True in admin. I Think. I didn't test it as much as I could have because I discovered the problem on my live store and wanted to correct things quickly. More testing on my test store confirmed the problem. With Attach PDF Invoice set True the customer is redirected to account_history, no emails are sent to customer or store owner. With Attach PDF set False everything works normally and emails are sent to customer and store owner.

 

Thanks,

Rick

OK, fixed it - as soon as I understood the warning in the Installation notes!

 

Worked brilliantly, so I installed the addons related to attaching to email. Now this doesn't work - same content in the email as mentioned by others in recent days - but I have implemented the suggestions.

 

What may be significant is that standard HTML emails don't work either.

@CatDadRick

@cornishpirate

 

You guys seem to be having the same problem so I'll get you both to try the following. The code below is lifted from my copy of checkout_process.php )which is working on 2 test and 2 live servers)

 

EDIT checkout_process.php

 

REPLACE your code block,

 

// BEGIN added for pdfinvoice email attachment:

blah .....

// END added for pdfinvoice email attachment:

 

with

 

// BEGIN added for pdfinvoice email attachment:

if (PDF_INVOICE_EMAIL_ATTACHMENT == 'true') {
	// customers will be logged in so usual security checks of pdfinvoice.php will be met. All we do is set the order_id for pdfinvoice.php to pick up
	$HTTP_GET_VARS['order_id'] = $insert_id;
	// set stream mode
	$stream = true;
	// include pdfinvoice.php
	include_once(FILENAME_CUSTOMER_PDF);
	// add text to email informing customer a pdf invoice copy has been attached:
	$email_order .= PDF_INVOICE_ATTACHED ."\n\n";
	// send email with pdf invoice attached. Check to make sure pdfinvoice.php returns some data, else send standard email
	// note $order object reinstantiated by inclusion of pdfinvoice.php hence customer['name']
	if (tep_not_null($pdf_data)) {
		tep_mail_string_attachment($order->customer['name'], $order->customer['email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, $pdf_data, $file_name);
	} else {
		tep_mail($order->customer['name'], $order->customer['email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);
	}
} else {
	// send vanilla e-mail - if email attachment option is false
	tep_mail($order->customer['firstname'] . ' ' . $order->customer['lastname'], $order->customer['email_address'], EMAIL_TEXT_SUBJECT, $email_order, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS);
}

// END added for pdfinvoice email attachment:

 

If this is still bombing when you try, add before

 

 // set stream mode

 

echo $HTTP_GET_VARS['order_id'];
die();

 

and let me know what value for order_id is output (if any). Then remove this code. The only reason I can see for you getting bounced back to account_history.php is if pdfinvoice.php doesn't get passed an order id (or if a customer is not logged in which can't be the case during checkout!)

Chris,

 

This is almost working. After applying the new code and enabling PDF Invoice Email, the order is completed and the customer is redirected to the order_success page and the store owner email is sent, however, the customer confirmation is not sent. Even after several minutes. Any other ideas?

 

Thanks,

Downloaded the add-on and I like the idea and all but can't get it to work...I'm getting this error message in OSC 2.2 RC2a

 

Warning: getimagesize(/home/content/g/a/m/games4gamers/html/catalog/PDF_INVOICE_IMAGE): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/g/a/m/games4gamers/html/catalog/admin/pdfpackingslip.php on line 123

FPDF error: Image file has no extension and no type was specified: /home/content/g/a/m/games4gamers/html/catalog/PDF_INVOICE_IMAGE

 

Here is the code from around that section of the file (AFAIK):

 

            //Logo
           $size = getimagesize(DIR_FS_CATALOG. PDF_INVOICE_IMAGE);
           $this->$image_function(DIR_FS_CATALOG . PDF_INVOICE_IMAGE, 7, 10, ($size[0] * PDF_INV_IMG_CORRECTION), ($size[1] * PDF_INV_IMG_CORRECTION), '', FILENAME_DEFAULT);

 

Do I need to change something? My image file name is invoice_logo.jpg...Thanks for any help.

Rob,

 

Apologies to you. Now you've confirmed the same problem as KJ, I can see exactly what's happening.

 

I've changed my osc test system to be PHP5 ready which means I've replaced all instances of $HTTP_GET_VARS and $HTTP_POST_VARS to their superglobal equivalents, $_GET and $_POST.

 

What I've done, without thinking, is use $_GET in checkout_process.php instead of $HTTP_GET_VARS. What's happening in your case is no order id is being passed to pdfinvoice.php so it thinks it's being hacked and bounces you to account_history, as it should.

 

To fix this,

 

EDIT checkout_process.php

 

FIND

 

$_GET['order_id'] = $insert_id;

 

and change to:

 

$HTTP_GET_VARS['order_id'] = $insert_id;

 

This should 'GET' you (c**p pun), up and running!

 

Sincere apologies. This is why I ask for people's PHP versions as many are making the move to PHP5 and unpredictable behaviours like this are happening.

@KJ This is your problem too! Sorry ....

 

Cheers

 

Chris

 

Thank you, thank you! I've been fiddling around with the same problem as above. The solution worked like a charm.

 

Chris, thank you so much for this contrib and for taking the time to be so helpful - you rock!

Hi Chris,

(when the attach pdf is enabled) the white screen "syntax error of death screen" I have found this as the error:

-------------------------------

[client 67.46.129.30] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class order in /home/virtual/site1/fst/var/www/html/includes/classes/order.php on line 23, referer:

https://secure.msrootserve.com/gokartsrus.c...1fcdb3a13f3667f

-------------------------------

 

Here's a snippet of includes/classes/order.php (2nd line is of error mentioning)

class order {
var $info, $totals, $products, $customer, $delivery, $content_type;

 

Hope we can clear this up... I really like the "attach" pdf add-on!

Thanks,

KJ

Hi Rick,

 

If the only thing failing now is the attachment email, please have a quick look over the changes you made to the mail function in includes/general.php and the change in includes/classes/email.php.

 

Also, you do have:

 

// are we streaming for email attachment or outputting to browser?
if($stream){
$pdf_data = $pdf->Output('' , 'S');
} else {
$mode = (FORCE_PDF_INVOICE_DOWNLOAD == 'true') ? 'D' : 'I';
// what do we do? display inline or force download
$pdf->Output($file_name , $mode);
}

at the end of pdfinvoice.php?

Reiner,

 

Sorry - should have read your post more carefully. I pointed you at that post as there is a minor bug in the admin link which gives a url with // in it like you seem to have!

 

Assuming the format https://ssl.kundenserver.de/shop.pipeloops.com/ is correct for accessing the shared SSL, have a look at your path entries includes/config.php. I'm not sure this is your issue but the url should be

 

https://ssl.kundenserver.de/shop.pipeloops....e0fa8d54fafbf56

 

not

 

https://ssl.kundenserver.de/shop.pipeloops....e0fa8d54fafbf56

 

IE might be choking on the //pdfinvoice.php

 

Have you tried the same link in a 'real' browser e.g. Opera/Firefox?

Chris,

 

Seems I missed step 7, the modifications to general.php, too much staring at code I think :blink:. Now that I've added the function I'm sure it'll work.

 

Thanks,

Rick

[CatDadRick]

Chris,

 

OK, I've added the changes to includes/functions/general.php and now the sale is completed and the customer is redirected to the checkout_success page and the order confirmation emails are sent. Problem now is, the customer's email is blank. I can see that an attachment is there, but 3 email clients can't open it. In Evolution, the mail message contains the base64 encoded message, but there is no readable information.

 

Any Ideas?

 

Thanks again,

Rick
