Simple Invoices - Forum

hey gtorres

we use a html2pdf script to convert the html invoices into PDF

the default invoice templates live in ./templates/invoices/default
- you can edit this template files and it'll change the PDF

let us know how you go

cheers

Then I must conclude that this module is not installed with simpleinvoices, right?

Thanks, gtorres

Hi Justin,

the question is that I edit that file, but the format does not change. Only recognizes the html file, not the css.

greetings

What is the problem?, Am I missing something in installation?

The rest works perfectly.

hye gtorres

are you using localhost/simpleinvoices to access simple invoices ?

if so - try using 127.0.0.1/simpleinvoices
- some people have reported that certain web servers configs dont resolve localhost correctly

let us know

cheers

No, I'm doing it remotely. We use plesk panel. Can it be so?

Hi Justin,

I think I know what the problem is. In previous reply, I commented that wearing a plesk panel, well, I have seen on the server, the directive "allow_url_fopen" is disabled for security reasons and they can not enable. They have told me I should use cURL function. What CURL function?, Where should I use?

Greetings

Hello, i have the same problem here on remote server: when exporting to pdf CSS are not included and the document look very bad.

I have found that for PDF we can't use in the template it will not be understood by the script.

I know a solution from another software, the solution is using direct styling in the template like this :


body { color: blue; }


But In SimpleInvoice the use of "{" is forbidden and the code above will return a blank page so I put this code :


{$biller.custom_field4}


and in my custom field 4 in my biller settings i copy/paste my styles. And it worked. Off course i had to delete the {$biller.custom_field4} found in other part of the template.... The best way would be to add a css style field in the Biller edit page i think :)

(sry for my bad english)

Thank you very munch. You saved my life. Now I have another problem, the format appears to me, but I not get the logo. Why?

Thanks again
