Invoices are a bit abrupt

[christofire]

I've just started using WHMCS and have been very happy... way better than my previous billing system. I was pleased to discover that I could create a product for a custom service and email and invoice with a "pay now" button!

 

Fortunately I have a very good relationship with that client because she called me a few minutes later laughing at the invoice she'd just received with the "giant 'UNPAID' in the biggest possible bright red font... why don't you just have it say 'FREELOADER'?" she asked me.

 

So, I'd like to know if I can modify the PDF invoice so that the "UNPAID" status is reduced in size a little bit?

Hi, u kan change it in the pdfconfigfile in ur includes map .. Look for:

 

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

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

 

Change the 40 into something smaller (I myself use 15)

or do as she asked and type...

 

perl -p -i -e "s/Unpaid/FREELOADER!/g" *

;(

I think he meant....

 

Hi, you can change it in the pdfconfigfile in your includes map

Awesome. Thanks!

I think that the "UNPAID" text is actually unnecessary. When you send an invoice, it is assumed to be unpaid unless stated otherwise.

Brilliant, all my invoices now read:

 

YOU FREELOADER, YOU WANT THE SHIRT OFF MY BACK TOO?

 

 

seriously though, I know what you mean, it's a good idea to tune it down a notch

To change the font size open includes/pdfconfig.php scroll to the bottom of the page about the second last line.

Find

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

and change the number to the height you want like this

$pdf->SetFont('Arial','B',30);

I don't know if it's been changed since this was written, but I don't have a includes/pdfconfig.php file. Two questions:

 

1. where would I change this in version 4.4.1?

 

2. Is there a way to have it show up in small blue letters for the first invoice, and the big (well, not that big) red letters for second and following invoices?
