Johnny,

 

the first part is easy, the second part will take a little work...

 

so for removing the due date, you just remove the line below from invoicepdf.tpl...

 

$pdf->Cell(0, 6, Lang::trans('invoicesdatedue') . ': ' . $duedate, 0, 1, 'L', '1');

 

for the second half, I don't know whether you need this to work in multiple languages - i'm going to assume just one language as one of your terms isn't mentioned in the language files (seems to be a mix of Dutch and Danish!).. if you need the solution to be multilingual, then you'd need to use Language Overrides - as i've used for Payment Method...

 

$create = new DateTime($datecreated);
$due = new DateTime($duedate);
$days = $create->diff($due);
$pdf->Cell(0, 6, 'Betalingstermijn: ' . $days->days . ' ' . Lang::trans('days'), 0, 1, 'L', '1');
$pdf->Cell(0, 6, Lang::trans('paymentmethod') . ': ' . $paymentmethod, 0, 1, 'L', '1');

AWESOME Brian!!

 

Its indeed just 1 language! that's Dutch.

 

Ill give that code a try! will reply with the results.

Brian!

 

Ive tested the code, Whenever i copy paste the whole code under

 

$pdf->Cell(0, 6, Lang::trans('invoicesdatecreated') . ': ' . $datecreated, 0, 1, 'L', '1');

 

Im getting a white screen when opening the PDF.

 

But whenever i remove these lines;

$create = new DateTime($datecreated);
$due = new DateTime($duedate);
$days = $create->diff($due);

 

It works, but it doesnt show the actuall number days.. See screenshot: https://gyazo.com/9a1b4b7dadd097ad0e62266632bdc717

 

How to fix that part?

 

Big thank you for the reply and help!

[brian!]

those lines that you removed should work in any PHP version later than 5.3?

 

try the following instead....

 

$diffdays = floor(abs((strtotime($datecreated))-(strtotime($duedate)))/86400);
$pdf->Cell(0, 6, 'Betalingstermijn: ' . $diffdays . ' ' . Lang::trans('days'), 0, 1, 'L', '1'); 
$pdf->Cell(0, 6, Lang::trans('paymentmethod') . ': ' . $paymentmethod, 0, 1, 'L', '1');

if you still get a white screen, then goto setup -> general settings -> other -> display errors and tick the box - and it should then tell you where the error is.
