Change the way pdf are generated in order history page

[ElFamosoWilli]

Hello everyone I am currently trying to find what are the classes to override to change how the pdf are generated and distributed to the customer , I want to keep the same links but I want to give an other pdf that the one generated by prestashop , how could it be done ?

Thank you everyone  .

If it's just about the layout/design, you can copy the files from /pdf into /themes/your_theme/pdf and adjust the correponding tpl files

[ElFamosoWilli]

Thanks for your response It's not about the design , I want to change what pdf is returned when you click on the link to download the invoice pdf . 

 

[JBW]

I'm still not sure what you want to do, but the invoice PDFs are generated in \classes\pdf\HTMLTemplateInvoice.php, you can create an override for this

[ElFamosoWilli]

I have generated a pdf through an other service externally 

I want to use it instead of the one used by prestashop  in the Order history page ,

But I cannot find where the method in charge of the variable order.details.invoice_url  (used in history.tpl)

is located , I already tried multiple classes (Order,OrderHistory,OrderDetail,OrderInvoice) but none of the methods I commented seems to have an effect on the history page .

Assuming you want to change the link here

In PS8 you need to extend the corresponding twig file src\PrestaShopBundle\Resources\views\Admin\Sell\Order\Order\Blocks\View\documents.html.twig.
But please note there are more links to the invoice e.g. in order overview and on top of the order detail page

I answered but seem it need approval from mod, trying this way

Thanks again , I am sorry I didn't make my self clear 😕 , I want to change the pdf distributed 

when I click to the pdf button , But I don't know where the method could be to change that 

 

 

 

 

[JBW]

Yes, simplest way it to change the link here and reference to the file on external service (or to a copy on the PS server). Screen looks like an old PS version, so it will be in some tpl file - if you don't see changes in tpl clear the PS cache.

Sorry I'm using prestashop  1.7.8.9 where does this menu is ? 

[JBW]

Please ignore my screenshot, thats PS8 backoffice. I understand you want to change it in frontoffice (customer order history) - in classic theme it would be file themes\classic\templates\customer\history.tpl

[ElFamosoWilli]

Thanks again for your patience , I did know how to change the link in the template but I wanna know where the link is crafted in wich class or controller because I need to overide it 

[JBW]

[ElFamosoWilli]

sadly I did already find this , but if I comment the method I still get the urls in the history page 😕

[ElFamosoWilli]

and I cleaned the cache after commenting the method 

[ElFamosoWilli]

[JBW]

You should get a fatal error if you comment this method, maybe you have an override active (which you should use anyway instead of changing core controller directly)?

[ElFamosoWilli]

My plan was to use an override

but I wanted to be sure that it was the correct method used to do this , 

How did you manage to get this error ? 

the only thing I managed to do is to comment the whole class and get a 500 error , 

but nothing more , I have one override and this is an Product override that is empty 

[JBW]

For testing directly in HistoryController

[ElFamosoWilli]

Thank you for your responses it seems that it was my docker container that led me into thinking it was not the right method , but it was ! 

[ElFamosoWilli]

I don't know why but when I overload the method it gives me an error 500

[JBW]

What are the error details?

 

[ElFamosoWilli]

Thanks for your response I found out what whas causing the issue everything works perfectly now ! thanks
