Invoice URL in PDF

[sol2010]

I am customising the PDF invoice and wondering if it is possible to add a direct link to the invoice, rather than just the client area... something like

 

$html = '<a href="http://www.mydomain.com/clients/viewinvoice.php?id='.$invoicenum.'">click here to view invoice</a>'; 

 

Can anyone help with that?

Doh - been trying to work this out for ages - and as soon as I post a question on the forum, I worked it out....

 

Pretty simple really:

 

$pdf->Cell(0,0,"http://www.mydomain.com/clients/viewinvoice.php?id=".$invoicenum,0,1,'L','0');

Doesn't the client still have to log in? Where do you place this? In the invoice email?

Hi

 

Yes, the client still must log in - but it is a direct link to that specific invoice.

 

You can place it where you like - you can even put it in the email template if you want.

 

I placed it in the invoicepdf.tpl template file like so :

 

 

///////////////////////////////////////////////////

// show bank info only if unpaid

 

if ($status=="Unpaid") {

 

$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','B',15);

$pdf->Cell(0,0,"Available Payment Methods: ",0,1,'L','0'); //Pay by:

 

 

$pdf->Ln();

$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','',12);

$pdf->Cell(0,0,"PayPal: ",0,1,'L','0'); //Pay by:

$pdf->SetFont('helvetica','',10);

$pdf->Cell(0,0,"To pay with PayPal (using either a Credit Card or your PayPal account balance), login here:",0,1,'L','0');

$pdf->Cell(0,0,"http://www.MYDOMAIN.com/WHMCS/viewinvoice.php?id=".$invoicenum,0,1,'L','0');

 

 

#ETC....

 

 

} // End of unpaid for payment details

Isn't that link in the email which the PDF is attached to that gets sent to the client as well?

not in mine - I had to make it manually with the above code
