Additional Details on Customers/Manage page
  • FionaFellFionaFell March 2010

    Hi Justin and fellow forum folks,

    I was visiting http://www.[mydomainname].com.au/[simpleinvoicesfolder]/index.php?module=customers&view=manage and thought that it would neat to see also the 'Customer Contact' name in this list.

    CURRENTLY:
    Actions | Name | Total | Owing |Enabled

    PROPOSED:
    Actions | Name | Attn: | Total | Owing |Enabled

    Note the included colum for the contact person that we add in the Attn: field.

    This extra detail will help me discover particular persons or departments within one company who still owe me $$$$.
    Example:
    Business Name | Person 1 = $0 due
    Business Name | Person 2 = $150.00 due
    Business Name | Person 3 = $0 due

    At the moment they would turn up like below:
    Business Name = $0 due
    Business Name = $150.00 due
    Business Name = $0 due

    I think the extra piece of information would be valueable to other SimpleInvoice users also. Would be interested to hear your thoughts.

    Fiona

    hey fiona

    this type of thing can be done with whichever version of Simple Invoices with a few mods

    basically edit modules/invoices/xml.php and at the bottom of the file it shows which fields get sent to the Manage Invoices page
    - you can copy a line and change it to $customer.attn - or whatever teh db field is caled - not in front of PC with the code/db etc.
    - then edit module/invoices/manage.js.php and find the section that details how each field is displayed - you can jsut change 1 field to be $customer.attn

    it might not be that simple but its pretty much how its done

    note: you may also have to edit the main function that gets that data from the db, just needs to add the new required field into the sql

    let me know your thoughts

    cheers

    note - the above examples i wrote where for the Invoices/Manage page - and now notiecd you were talking about Customers/Manage

    the solution is pretty much the same but for the customers files and not invoices

    cheers

    hey justin,
    I am trying to do something similar and have been trying for awhile to get it to show the custom_field2 from invoices but no luck. I added $xml .= ""; to the xml.php and added another column in manage.js.php and it would hang at processing, please wait when i run it.
    btw great program!, i have been looking for something like this forever.

    any help would be greatly appreciated.
