Invoice layout, move clientdetails

[redwood]

I'd like to move the clientdetails on the invoice to somewhere on the right, we use envelopes with a window on the right.

 

But no mather what i change on the (what i believe is the) layout code. ie. 10,50) Those details just stay at the left. I've managed to change everything on the invoice except this. What am i doing wrong?

You're not doing anything wrong other than the fact that you don't have enough knowledge of HTML (and crappy tables) to change it and have it work properly.

 

you just need to have it so it looks like this:

 <table>
 <tr>
   <td width="50%"></td>
   <td> ADDRESS HERE</td>
 </tr>
 </table>
 [code]
 
 You are editing viewinvoice.tpl, right?

[redwood]

ehmm... the viewinvoice.tpl.. that isn't a file used in the pdf invoice of is it?

[magga]

No it's pdfconfig.php you should be editing if you are referring to the PDF invoices ?

[redwood]

The pdf invoices are the only ones i use. And i've succesfully edited the pdfconfig.php to serve my needs, EXCEPT for the clientdetails. I need them more to the right, but they won't move at all!

You should have specified that in your post. Just for future reference, if you do post asking for help, you need to make sure you do include specifics so when people help you, it's what you really need help with.

I'm very sorry, but like i said, i didn't even know there was another invoice then the pdf invoice! If i knew, i certainly asked help with the PDF invoice the first time! It won't happen again. pretty please forgive me! ;-)

[Jordan]

Well, it's kind of obvious what you're editing, because it has a file name, or even just mention PDF period.. Either way, you don't have to apologize--I'm just saying.

[redwood]

right. crystal clear!

But back on topic. Maybe you know how i can reposition the clientdetails in the pdfconfig.php? I know how to position, and i've repositioned somethings in the invoice. But it looks like the clientdetails won't move.

A rule looks like:

$pdf->Cell(0,4,$_LANG["invoicesattn"].": ".$clientsdetails["firstname"]." ".$clientsdetails["lastname"],0,1,'L'); } else

[isdoo]

You would need to use a line such as

 

$pdf->SetXY(80,80);

 

(distance from left, distance from top)

 

I would also move the clients details section to the bottom that page.

 

I have not tried this, but can't see why it shouldn't work.

 

You may need to tweak the number of blank lines to move the bulk below up or down.

[redwood]

Thnx to isdoo i found it out. Didn't know the SetXY code. what i've done is.

 

# Clients Details
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','',10);
if ($clientsdetails["companyname"]) {
$pdf->SetXY(140,70);
$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["companyname"],0,1,'L');
$pdf->SetXY(140,74);
$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["firstname"]." ".$clientsdetails["lastname"],0,1,'L');
}
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','',10);
$pdf->SetXY(140,78);
$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["address1"],0,1,'L');
if ($clientsdetails["address2"]) {
$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["address2"],0,1,'L');
}
$pdf->SetXY(140,82);
$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["postcode"].", ".$clientsdetails["city"]." ".$clientsdetails["state"],0,1,'L');
$pdf->SetXY(140,86);
$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["country"],0,1,'L'); 
$pdf->Ln(10);

I don't know if this is the cleanest way, but it shure works!

And that is the main thing

 

Glad you fixed your issue

Hi,

 

This is our modification for the client details, mind you some data, like postal code and city have traded places to be more in line with the standard address layout in Holland.

 

 

# Clients Details

$pdf->SetXY(20,50);

$pdf->SetFont('Arial','',11);

if ($clientsdetails["companyname"]) {

$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["companyname"],0,2,'L');

$pdf->Cell(0,4,$_LANG["invoicesattn"]." ".$clientsdetails["firstname"]." ".$clientsdetails["lastname"],0,2,'L');

} else {

$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["firstname"]." ".$clientsdetails["lastname"],0,2,'L');

}

 

$pdf->SetFont('Arial','',11);

$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["address1"],0,2,'L');

if ($clientsdetails["address2"]) {

$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["address2"],0,2,'L');

}

$pdf->SetFont('Arial','',11);

$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["postcode"]." ".$clientsdetails["city"],0,2,'L');

 

if ($clientsdetails["country"] != "Netherlands") {

$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["country"],0,1,'L');

}

 

Hope it helps

 

Oooooops you allready had it solved ;)

If you're not sure what all's going in pdfconfig.php, it uses FPDF. The manual is at http://www.fpdf.org

For anyone looking for something like this; we are using:

 

# Clients Details

$pdf->SetXY(21,65);

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

if ($clientsdetails["companyname"]) {

$pdf->Cell(4,4,$clientsdetails["companyname"],0,1,'L');

$pdf->SetXY(21,70);

$pdf->Cell(0,4,$_LANG["invoicesattn"].": ".$clientsdetails["firstname"]." ".$clientsdetails["lastname"],0,1,'L'); } else {

$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["firstname"]." ".$clientsdetails["lastname"],0,1,'L');

}

$pdf->SetXY(21,75);

$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["address1"],0,1,'L');

 

if ($clientsdetails["address2"]) {

$pdf->SetXY(21,80);

$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["address2"],0,1,'L');

}

$pdf->SetXY(21,85);

$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["city"].", ".$clientsdetails["state"].", ".$clientsdetails["postcode"],0,1,'L');

$pdf->SetXY(21,90);

$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["country"],0,1,'L');

 

$pdf->Ln(10);

Thanks for posting your code. Any chance of a preview with them?

 

Much appreciated.

[aushosts]

We actually changed the above to use a margin around that code.

 

$pdf->SetMargins(25, 0, 0); // left, top, right
$pdf->Ln();
# Clients Details
$pdf->Cell(0,4,$_LANG["invoicesinvoicedto"],0,1);
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',10);
if ($clientsdetails["companyname"]) {
       $pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["companyname"],0,1,'L');
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','',9);
       $pdf->Cell(0,4,$_LANG["invoicesattn"].": ".$clientsdetails["firstname"]." ".$clientsdetails["lastname"],0,1,'L'); } else {
       $pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["firstname"]." ".$clientsdetails["lastname"],0,1,'L');
}
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','',9);
$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["address1"],0,1,'L');
if ($clientsdetails["address2"]) {
       $pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["address2"],0,1,'L');
}
$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["city"].", ".$clientsdetails["state"].", ".$clientsdetails["postcode"],0,1,'L');
$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["country"],0,1,'L');
$pdf->SetMargins(10, 0, 10); // left, top, right
$pdf->Ln(10);

How did you get your invoice to say Tax Invoice?

How did you get your invoice to say Tax Invoice?

 

Manually edited in the pdfconfig.php file

[eekdood]

Is anyone willing to share their pfdconfig file that's setup to use #10 window envelopes? I am more than willing to spend the time to set it up myself, but I have 6 invoice I need to print and mail to clients next week.

 

I appreciate any input!

 

Thanks,

Eric

Try this mate...

 

$pdf->SetMargins(35, 0, 0); // left, top, right
$pdf->Ln();
# Clients Details
$pdf->Cell(0,4,$_LANG["invoicesinvoicedto"],0,1);
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',10);
if ($clientsdetails["companyname"]) {
       $pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["companyname"],0,1,'L');
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','',9);
       $pdf->Cell(0,4,$_LANG["invoicesattn"].": ".$clientsdetails["firstname"]." ".$clientsdetails["lastname"],0,1,'L'); } else {
       $pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["firstname"]." ".$clientsdetails["lastname"],0,1,'L');
}
$pdf->SetFont('Arial','',9);
$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["address1"],0,1,'L');
if ($clientsdetails["address2"]) {
       $pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["address2"],0,1,'L');
}
$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["city"].", ".$clientsdetails["state"].", ".$clientsdetails["postcode"],0,1,'L');
$pdf->Cell(0,4,$clientsdetails["country"],0,1,'L');
$pdf->SetMargins(10, 0, 10); // left, top, right
$pdf->Ln(10);
