Customise Status size and add custom info to PDF invoice

[fepixie]

I had trouble figuring this out for a bit - theres not much helpful help here i could find - so here's a hack for anyone who needs it...

 

this is from the "portal" template set version Version: 4.3.1 (will update if it changes for .2 after i get round to downloading it) - no idea if the other templates are the same - havent looked....

 

the idea is to shrink and move up the status message - and add custom text below it...

 

edit [WHMCS Directory]/templates/portal/invoicepdf.tpl

or the corresponding file in your custom template directory

 

moving up the status message a bit...

FIND (line 107)

$pdf->SetXY(70,90);

CHANGE TO

$pdf->SetXY(80,85);

 

shrinking the status message...

FIND (line 124)

$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','B',40);

CHANGE TO

$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','B',16);

or any size you like

 

adding the custom info...

FIND (next line)

$pdf->Cell(120,20,strtoupper($statustext),0,0,'C');

AFTER ADD

# --------------------  CUSTOM DETAILS;
$pdf->SetXY(80,100);
$pdf->SetTextColor(0,0,0);
$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','',;

$txt = "Custom info: goes here";
$txt .= "\nAccounts Email: accounts@yoursite.co.nz";
$txt .= "\nWebsite: www.3rings.co.nz";
$pdf->MultiCell(120, 5, $txt."\n", 0, 'C', 0, 0, '' ,'', true);

 

and edit the $txt lines to say whatever you like - the \n goes where you want a line break

 

save and upload

 

Hopefully that will save someone else half a day figuring it out
