Working on a customization for the PDF invoice - testing dates

[siteone]

I'm working on a customization to the invoicepdf.tpl file to have the 'unpaid' messages change based on the current date's relationship to the date created and the due date. Here's the code I am working on, which should be reasonably easy to figure out:

 

 

		
               $today = date("Y/d/m");
	if ($datecreated === $today) {
		$statustext = $_LANG["invoicesfirsttime"];
		$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','B',12);
		$pdf->SetTextColor(0,0,151);

	} elseif ($datecreated < $today && $today < $duedate) {
		$statustext = $_LANG["invoicesunpaid"];
		$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','B',12);
		$pdf->SetTextColor(0,0,151);

	} elseIf($today > $duedate) {
		$statustext = $_LANG["invoicesoverdue"];
		$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','B',12);
		$pdf->SetTextColor(204,0,0);
	}

 

The problem is that it's always giving me the "overdue" message (which is defined in the language file, BTW). So, the date comparison isn't working; I think it has something to do with the format of the$datecreated and $duedate fields as compared to the way I'm getting and formatting the $today field. Any ideas on where I'm going wrong?

I finally got the modification working. Change the following code around lines 113-129:

 

if ($status=="Cancelled") {
$statustext = $_LANG["invoicescancelled"];
   $pdf->SetTextColor(245,245,245);
} elseif ($status=="Unpaid") {
$statustext = $_LANG["invoicesunpaid"];
   $pdf->SetTextColor(204,0,0);
} elseif ($status=="Paid") {
$statustext = $_LANG["invoicespaid"];
   $pdf->SetTextColor(153,204,0);
} elseif ($status=="Refunded") {
$statustext = $_LANG["invoicesrefunded"];
   $pdf->SetTextColor(34,68,136);
} elseif ($status=="Collections") {
$statustext = $_LANG["invoicescollections"];
   $pdf->SetTextColor(255,204,0);
}
$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','B',40);

 

with the following:

 

switch ($status) {

case "Cancelled" :
	$statustext = $_LANG["invoicescancelled"];
	$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','B',15);
	$pdf->SetTextColor(245,245,245);
	break;

case "Unpaid" :
	$today = date("m/d/Y", time());

	if ($datecreated === $today) {
		// Invoice created today so first time
		$statustext = $_LANG["invoicesfirsttime"];
		$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','B',12);
		$pdf->SetTextColor(0,0,151);

	} elseif ($datecreated < $today && $today < $duedate) {
		// invoice unpaid not due yet
		$statustext = $_LANG["invoicesunpaid"];
		$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','B',12);
		$pdf->SetTextColor(0,0,151);

	} elseIf($today > $date_due) {
		// invoice overdue
		$statustext = $_LANG["invoicesoverdue"];
		$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','B',10);
		$pdf->SetTextColor(204,0,0);
	}
	break;

case "Paid" :
	$statustext = $_LANG["invoicespaid"];
	$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','B',20);
	$pdf->SetTextColor(153,204,0);
	break;

case "Refunded" :
	$statustext = $_LANG["invoicesrefunded"];
	$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','B',20);
	$pdf->SetTextColor(34,68,136);
	break;

case "Collections" :
	$statustext = $_LANG["invoicescollections"];
	$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','B',20);
	$pdf->SetTextColor(255,204,0);

default:
	break;
}

 

Essentially, it changes the conditionals to a SWITCH statement (easier for me to debug) and changes the "UNPAID" section to use the dates to display the appropriate message.

 

Note that you will also need to add the $_LANG["invoicesfirsttime"] and $_LANG["invoicesoverdue"] lines to the language file.
