Invoice logo size and details

[izghitu]

Hi,

Sorry for opening a topic that has been opened already before but I was unable to find an answer in those that would help me.

When I create an invoice for a client and then view it from the Client area the logo size is huge. I did edit invoicepdf.tpl and set it to show properly in the downloaded PDF file but it still appears huge when the invoice is viewed in the Client area.

 

One other problem I have is that the invoice viewed in the Client Area appears to be different from the downloaded one in terms of data that is displayed. For example if I create an invoice and set the payment method to Bank Transfer then the bank transfer details will appear in the invoice viewed in the Client area. After I download that invoice I can no longer see those bank payment details. Is it possible to add those same details into the PDF version of the invoice?

 

Please help.

Thanks in advance.

invoicepdf.tpl is for the PDF version. The invoice you see from Clientarea is the HTML version that can be edited from viewinvoice.tpl template file.

Simply add a line somewhere in invoicepdf.tpl with your bank details always visible.

I found reference to the logo in that file but I can't see how I can do the sizing stuff, there's nothing in the docs about this, can you please help with details?

You can use style...

<p><img src="{$logo}" title="{$companyname}" style="height:60px" /></p>

Or a class...

<p><img src="{$logo}" title="{$companyname}" class="mylogo" /></p>

<!-- Don't forget to create your CSS rule 
.mylogo {
    height:60px
}
This should go in your .css file -->

Or use a dedicated image just for this page:

<p><img src="my-logo-60px-height.png" title="{$companyname}" /></p>

You could add your bank details as last line in Pay To Text (Setup > General Settings > Pay To Text). If you want to place it in another place open invoicepdf.tpl like follows:

# Put me right above "# Generation Date" to show bank details as footer on invoice
$pdf->SetFont('freesans','',8);
$pdf->Ln(5);
$pdf->Cell(180,4,'IBAN: IT0000000000000005 My Bank Ltd. - Pay To: Elvis Presley','','','C');

on newer versions, that should be...

$pdf->SetFont($pdfFont, '', 8);

personally, i'd use a HTML table, but doesn't matter... either will work.

if you wanted to add it to the footer, it would be easier to use an invoicepdffooter.tpl template for that.

Thanks guys for your help so far.

What if I want the bank details displayed in the PDF only when the method of payment chosen is Bank Transfer? How do I correctly add that If statement?

Please let me know.

effectively it's a double IF statement because there's no point giving them payment details if they've already paid (e.g on the Payment Confirmation Invoice)...

if ($status=="Unpaid" && $paymentmethod=="Bank Transfer") {

output your bank transfer details here...

}

in our hosting invoices, we use a similar technique for multiple payment methods.. so we'll have If ($status=="Unpaid") { as the opening if statement and then additional IF statements for each offline payment method available... e.g bank transfer, cheques (we still get some!) etc... alternatively, if you have multiple offline options, you can give them all in the same table... plenty of options, once you decide exactly what you want to show.

Yay, that did the trick. Thanks a lot for your help!
