[MODULE] M4 PDF Extensions (with online editor)

The new version of the module is immediately available at www.presta-addons.com. All upgrades are FREE for life.

CHANGELOG

v1.9.1 (2013-09-10)
- Fixed missing texts for translation from templates in PrestaShop v1.5.5.0 (all templates improved)
Add
mod='m4pdf'
to all Smarty tags for translation in your own templates, for example like this: {l s='no orders' mod='m4pdf'}
- Added German translation (thanks to Mischa Spörer)
- Added Dutch translation (thanks to SD-Webdesign)
- Fixed displaying images in invoices in some cases (PrestaShop v1.4)

September 19, 2013

I would like to propose an amendment.
Select the state to send the invoice via e-mail.

September 27, 2013

You can set behaviour of e-mails in "Order statuses". Sending of e-mails depend on core PrestaShop functionality and every single payment module. The module just replaces the built-in invoice by the own one.

The new version of the module is immediately available at www.presta-addons.com. All upgrades are FREE for life.

CHANGELOG

v1.9.2 (2013-09-27)
- New data about the customer or employee logged for all templates ($user)
- Fixed switching between templates and hidden templates
- Fixed product customization in case when more than one customization exist
- Changed displaying of image product customization
- Fixed duplicated items in supply orders (only PrestaShop v1.5 with multi-shop feature)

September 27, 2013

I don't often write reviews, but this module is a must for anyone trying to format any of the PDF's that Prestashop can produce which frankly often do not meet the requirements of various EU countries.

It works straight out of the box with very many examples and if you need to customize it isn't that difficult using the examples.

I needed some help with customer message and the help was great quality and quick.....can't ask for much more!

P.S. PS Version 1.5.5.0

The footer content is located between the <htmlpagefooter> and </htmlpagefooter> tags. Some information is obtained from the $conf array and you can change it or insert your own one as a plain text.

Did you get anywhere with the thought of customer statements?

To revive the memory:

So select a customer and produce a statement detailing all their orders in a certain time frame. We are starting to take orders via purchase order so it would be useful to be ale to send a statement at the end of the month for payment

I think that a tuned templated could do it with Orders data. To select from-to dates and group orders by the customers. With some filtering and selecting the customer statement could be done. It will depend on your exact requirements.

Hi,

I've just installed the 1.9.2 version, all installation is ok, but when i try do modify a template the modules give me always this error:

Admin login required

Better : i have just " 2 click action" then it start to give the error.

I think the problem is about the check after this line code in pdf.php:

$myCookie = new Cookie('psAdminM4');

But I don't know if it's a my fault on configuration..

Obviously I'm superadmin in BO.

Can you help me?

Thanks

I found that the behavior of cookies is strange since version 1.5.5.0. Simply cookies lose parts of values. I tried my best, thanks to the use of own cookies. Anyway, send me (PM) please your Advanced Parameters > Configuration Information and the most exact process how the error occurs.

There is also second options to calculate the price using tax rate ($product[products].default_country_tax.rate).

Dear Vladimir! It is fantastic module. But I have a problem with it. I am using Prestashop 1.5.6 and the module version 1.9.2. I turn on option in "Payment module" to send a PDF invoice to a customer.

But customer already got ugly Prestashop version of invoice instead generated by M4PDF.

In order history a customer can see invoice generated by M4PDF, i.e. all is OK here.

I also compared:

\modules\m4pdf\override\classes\pdf\PDF.php

override\classes\pdf\PDF.php

both are identical.

Cannot understand why PDF invoice in E-mail still is Prestashop version.

Please help!

October 13, 2013

Hi,

first of all kudos for your wonderful module.

I created two new templates (attached) to print invoices and delivery slips listed by reference (pdf examples attached), now I need to add two more features to those templates:

1) in the invoce template I need partial sums to be calculated for each reference group in addition to the grand total at the end of the document

2) in the delivery slip template I need to print each reference group on a single separate page repeating headers and footers on each page

Hope someone can help me !

thx

I have seen something similar in PrestaShop 1.5.2.0 where the /override/classes/pdf/PDF.php file has been there but never really overrided. An autoload bug.

Anyway, I tested the module v1.9.2 in Prestashop v1.5.6 and it works fine for me. So I think it can be something wrong in your installation. I can only inspect this directly on your server - PM me if you wish.

Hi,

I've a question about translations of texts in templates.
I've added some new label to translate in a template, with new rules, ex:

{l s='CE1334' mod='m4pdf'}

They're translated/compiled correctly if i display the pdf within the module itself, but if I click the delivery/invoice button in the order-list page of BO this does not happen.

I don't know if this module can create problems, but i've installed this :

For all. Fixed.

Nested forms in the custom theme. Moving the original closing </form> tag up fixed that.

November 11, 2013

I purchased this module based on what it advertised it could do. To find when I downloaded the version being sold was not the latest.

My module tells me there is a newer version but I am unable to locate where to download an update.

Can you please advise where to locate the up dates.

Regards

November 12, 2013

You probably purchased the module at PrestaShop Addons. List of versions to download is a bit confusing. Search always for the latest version.

For now, Full version compatibility v1.9.3.

December 11, 2013

Hi,

I just bought your Module and have a problem concerning the language of the created pdfs.

I switched on the lang_selector in your module, translated the invoice I use to test to German, then translated ALL "INVOICE #" I found in every template to "Rechnung #". However no chance to print invoice in German. Translation was done in BO using your link.

The lang_selector in the BO ignores both /customers lang/individual setting/.

Using PS 15.6.0 + "Warehouse" theme from themeforest on XAMMP testserver, BO lang=German, customer languages both german and english.

I'm pretty shure im missing something realy stupid ;-)

December 12, 2013

Be sure that you are using the latest version of the module (1.9.5).

PDF translations has nothing to do with Front Office themes so be also sure you have translated text strings under Localization > Installed modules translations > Core (no theme selected).

Hi,

I set up a complete clean 1.5.6.0 with your module.

Languages: German (default BO),en_US, Czech

Translated M4_invoice.tpl in the core to german (czech already exists) - I checked /modules/m4pdf/translations/de.php and its fine.

BO m4_invoice.tpl and a deliveryslip are assigned to your module

In your Module where I can modify the templates everything works fine - the m4_invoice is printed in en,de,cz.

In the BO of Prestashop, in the overview of the orders the widget where I can switch languages is shown.

However, the m4_invoice does not print in German - (english and czech is working)

....confused.... why is this working in the module and not in the Prestashop BO ....

December 12, 2013

Fixed. This issue was caused by German as the default language (1: German, 2: English). Usually the default language is English. Now the module works correctly with all common and less common combinations of installed languages.

Dear Vladimir

How can I display the discount prices on " catalog sorted by catagory organized in grid"

Thanks

January 13, 2014

The solution depends on the structure of specific prices and the desired form of view. Basically, it is about combining of the "Catalog with specific prices, filtered" and "Catalog sorted by category organized in grid" templates.

Answered also at "Addons Messages".

January 23, 2014

The new version of the module is immediately available at www.presta-addons.com. All upgrades are FREE for life.

CHANGELOG

January 23, 2014

The look in addons Prestashop.

January 24, 2014

Is there a way to display alterings row (gray and white) like the default pdf invoice from Prestashop? (odd/even rows)

January 24, 2014

No problem. Just change the style of odd and even rows.

January 26, 2014

And where can I change it? It can't find it in the template editor (I've used invoice V2 as a base for my template).

January 27, 2014

Just a hint:

Create two CSS styles, for odd and even rows (background color etc.). Then apply the odd style to the odd rows, and the even style to the even rows.

{assign var='odd' value=0}
{foreach ...}
    {assign var='odd' value=($odd+1)%2}
    <td class="{if $odd}odd{else}even{/if}">....

January 27, 2014

Dear author, could you add the template of delivery slip that can be helpful for courier services that ship to door.

The template should contain:

1. The field "other" of table ps_address that usually used as admin's comments for shipping address. We describe here notes for couier.

2. As the second page of delivery slip - print of the Google map with shipping address.

Could you add such template in next version of your module or explain here how we can do it ourselves.

Thank you.

January 27, 2014

Also could you add, if it possible at all, custom fields something like in MS Access. This fields are fields that popped out before generating an PDF and filled manually by admin.

I think i will be very helpful for eny purposess. For example when printing an delivery slip the module ask user shipping time suitable for customr. After filling the pop-up field by, for example, 10am-4pm, the delivery slip wii be printed with that information in appropriate place of the slip.

Also in such manner we can add hot information regarding an order before it's shipping, or onetime comment for an order etc.

How it should work?

1. In M4PDF configuration panel admin adds fields and give the a name, for example,

time_period_for_shipping

other_notes

etc.

2. After that admin place that pop-up custom field in appropriate places of an template.

3. When starting generation of an PDF the module checks avaliability in template such custom fields and pop-up them. After manual filling the fields by admin the module generates final PDF.

Thank you for the ideas. I'm sure that some will appear in future versions. Stay tuned.

January 28, 2014

Thank you for the ideas. I'm sure that some will appear in future versions. Stay tuned.

Fine! You are very friendly programmer.

By the Way non attaching of invoice to order confirmation e-mail was my problem, not your module's bug.

Also one more idea maybe mad as i am not programmer at all. I don't know, have ony or some kind of modules such thing like "output". I mean some infromation that displayed to customer or to admin by a module.

For example Order IP Address Verification module of PrestoChangeo shows the order IP information to administrators. And I mean this as "output" of this module.

For blocks with advertising - "output" is advertising text or image or both.

So if it possible and there is a way to catch this output of some kind of modules, you can add to your module a way to put such outputs in documents.

For example, it will be very good to place at the bottom of each invoice image and text of advertising of current sales from a module of he site. And this can boost sales as the customer will see these sales on his printed invoice.

Or you can add at the bottom of invoce the row of related products from crosselling module.

Or maybe print at the bottom of invoice reminder that the customer can get additional discounts at his bithday - the "output" of appropriate module.

and many other possibilities.

Edited January 28, 2014 by Lion1 (see edit history)

February 5, 2014

I'm sorry if this question show earlier.

Can I change manually the number of invoice with this extension?

February 10, 2014

This feature is new in v1.9.6 - for Front Office (customer's view) only.

February 10, 2014

How can I do this?
I mean how can I change the number of invoice?

February 10, 2014

OK. I think I misunderstood. You can change the file name of downloaded invoice. There is option to set that in module administration.

You cannot change the number of invoice, for example from 12 to 56, in the content of the invoice. You can only display the number in different way (from 12 to 20140012).

February 22, 2014

2. As the second page of delivery slip - print of the Google map with shipping address.

To add Google map use this snippet:

    <div class="clear zero">
        <br />
        {* Google Maps Image APIs: https://developers.google.com/maps/documentation/staticmaps  *}
        <img src="http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/staticmap?zoom=14&size=500x320&scale=2&sensor=false&center={$order[orders].address_delivery.address1|escape:'url'},{$order[orders].address_delivery.city|escape:'url'},{if $order[orders].address_delivery.state.name}{$order[orders].address_delivery.state.name|escape:'url'}{/if}{$order[orders].address_delivery.country.name|escape:'url'}&markers=color:red|label:D|{$order[orders].address_delivery.address1|escape:'url'},{$order[orders].address_delivery.city|escape:'url'},{if $order[orders].address_delivery.state.name}{$order[orders].address_delivery.state.name|escape:'url'}{/if}{$order[orders].address_delivery.country.name|escape:'url'}" />
    </div>

To break a page use this code:

    <pagebreak />

The new template "Delivery slips with map" using described code will be in the next version of the module.

February 28, 2014

Hello tuk66,

Good job on the module, this will save me tons of time to hand code this. However, i just installed your module and i am unable to edit any templates. (this includes ALL the templates)

This is the error displayed: {"error":false,"msg":"\n\n{literal}\n

Now i don't want to mess with your child, so i will await your response... I have a VPS so settings and chmod changes are not a problem.

Thank you again!

Edit:

Duh, usefull info:

I am using Prestashop 1.5.5, m4 pdf extensions 1.9.6, Apache 2.2, PHP 5.3.3

I don't know this Agile module. You need to find if there is extra data available. Use the Debug template to see it.

If yes, use this data in your template. If not, you would patch the module to get that extra data.

Set the invoice logo in Back Office first if the logo doesn't appear on the invoice.

I don't know this Agile module. You need to find if there is extra data available. Use the Debug template to see it.

If yes, use this data in your template. If not, you would patch the module to get that extra data.

Set the invoice logo in Back Office first if the logo doesn't appear on the invoice.

Look at m4_invoice_3.tpl template. There are <htmlpageheader> and <htmlpagefooter> tags for the header and footer. Use preferably tables (if you need more compley layout) within these tags because divs don't work too well here.

Hello everybody,

I've recently bought this module and it has helped me advance a lot.

I have 2 issues that I can't seem to solve.

1. How do I show the unique order reference in my invoices? In the original Prestashop invoice.tpl it is done with:

{$order->getUniqReference()}

In the M4PDF templates I have only found examples of the order ID wich I don't want to use:

{$order[orders].id_order|string_format:"%06d"}

2. I can't seem to get Google fonts to work in my invoices. I've followed the instructions on Google's website but no luck so far.

<link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Lato:400italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>

is the first line below the <head> element and all fonts are set as

font-family: 'Lato', sans-serif;

Can anybody help me with these issues?

Thank you very much in advance.

Best regards

April 17, 2014

1.

{$order[orders].reference}

2.

Download the Lato fonts as TTF file(s) and save to /modules/m4pdf/mpdf/ttfonts folder. Then go to /modules/m4pdf/mpdf/config_fonts.php file and add your font definition to $this->fontdata array.

"lato" => array(
        'R' => "Lato.ttf",
    ),

Use the font in your CSS style:

.custom_style {
    font-family: lato;
}

Thanks a lot, tuk66!

It worked like a charm.

I appreciate your great support.

You have one extra happy customer.

April 22, 2014

I want to upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6 and so i have tried to upgrade to the 2.0 version of your module but for some reason, when i click Upgrade, it says it upgraded to 1.9.6 and thats it... No errors nothing... can you help me out?

Thank you!

Don't use the "Update it!" button. Ever!

It doesn't work for this module and who knows what will happen? You can probably lose edited templates as well as translations.

I recommend files overwriting using FTP. Don't forget to backup all files first.

Upgrade instructions from v1.x to v2.x are described in README.TXT. Use it preferably for all upgrades.

Hi and thanks.

These catalog templates (Catalog sorted by category organized in grid and Products page) are different. The later one is specially created without the first page as well as index (content) - it is a product page, not full-featured catalog.

You can try to create the product index yourself. It is just this code (see using in catalog templates):

<tocpagebreak
    font="sans" font-size="10" indent="5" toc-margin="55mm"
    paging="on" links="on" suppress="off" pagenumstyle="1"
    toc-preHTML="<br><br><br> <h2>{l s='Contents' mod='m4pdf'}</h2>"
/>

<tocentry content="{$parent|replace:'|':'>>'|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" level="0" />

You probably mean how to display the customer's group name. I haven't tried it in a template but try to use these ideas:

Useful data

$order[orders].customer.id_customer

$order[orders].customer.id_default_group

{assign var="groups" value=Customer::getGroupsStatic($order[orders].customer.id_customer)}
{* {$groups|@debug_print_var} *}
{section name=group loop=$groups}
    {if $groups[group]->id_group == $order[orders].customer.id_default_group}
        {$groups[group]->name}
   {/if}
{/section}

It´s not working too, index are still the same, otherwise i need to show prices tax included.

I add the taxes code on m4_catalog_sorted_category_tax.tpl

{assign var="tax" value=$products.default_country_tax.rate/100+1}

{assign var="price_wt" value=$products.price*$tax}

<span class="bold">{l s='Price:' mod='m4pdf'} {displayPrice price=$price_wt currency=$conf.currency_current}

But it doesn´t work

Thanks for your support

It´s not working too, index are still the same, otherwise i need to show prices tax included.

It is just an idea where to go. The snippet was not tested and it is not intended to be a fully working solution.

I add the taxes code on m4_catalog_sorted_category_tax.tpl

   {assign var="tax" value=$products.default_country_tax.rate/100+1}
                                {assign var="price_wt" value=$products.price*$tax}
                                <span class="bold">{l s='Price:' mod='m4pdf'} {displayPrice price=$price_wt currency=$conf.currency_current}


But it doesn´t work

Try (from m4_catalog_multishop.tpl)

{displayPrice price=$product[products].shop_product.price currency=$conf.currency_default}

vs.

{* price tax including *}

{displayPrice price=$product[products].shop_price_final currency=$conf.currency_default}

and change $product[products] to $products for using in the m4_catalog_sorted_category.tpl template.

Note: untested snippet

Hi,

first time still a great praise for the truly ingenious module! Currently I'm just going to optimize my PDFs and have two questions.

1. Is it possible to switch between small and larger images, depending on the number of different products on the invoice?

2. Is there a way to hide the delivery address if billing and shipping address are the same?

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP !
