Thanks !

Look at the m4_catalog_sorted_category.tpl template, for example. You need to change the main loop from {section} to {foreach} and use "simpler" $product variable:

{foreach from=$product|@sortby:"parents_categories_level" item=products name=cycle}
    {$products.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}
{/foreach}

For you it is a simple matter, I tried many times and unfortunately not worked it out.

Post #292

Can you help me?

[tuk66 786]

Sure, send me PM with your template and email address. I'll look at it.

[And63 45]

tuk66 - thank you very much for your help - your solution is ideal.

[tuk66 786]

Here is the solution (products sorted by the default category ID):

{foreach from=$product|@sortby:"id_category_default" item=products name=cycle}
<table autosize="1" class="w100" style="page-break-inside:avoid">
{if $products.active >= 1}
    <tr>
        <td colspan=2 class="w100 name">
            {$products.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}<tocentry content="{$products.name|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}" level="0" />
        </td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td width="20%">
            {assign var="id_product_id_image" value="`$products.id_product`-`$products.image.id_image`"}
            <img class="photo" src="{if $products.image.id_image}{imageLink name=$products.link_rewrite ids=$id_product_id_image}{else}{$conf.pdf_iso_lang}.jpg{/if}" />
        </td>
        <td>
            <br />
            <div>{$products.description_short}</div>
            <p class="bigger"><br /><strong>{l s='Cena netto:' mod='m4pdf'} {displayPrice price=$products.price currency=$conf.currency_current}</strong><br /></p>

Hi,

 

I have purchased your M4PDF module and I'm very pleased with the results so far.

 

I have based my catalogue output on the 'm4_catalog.tpl' template but I have three questions:

 

1) On my TOC page, I'd like to group products by category. For example:

 

Category 1

Product 1

Product 2

 

Category 2

Product 1

Product 2

 

...etc. Is this possible?

 

2) When I have a product with a very long table of attributes/combinations, it scales the table down in size (very small) and also creates a blank page before the product page. Ideally, I'd like to break long tables over multiple pages (and with no blank page before them). I have looked at your various templates and even mPDF docs but have not found anything to solve these two issues.

 

Hope you can help.

 

Thanks,

 

Adam.

[mediabunker 1]

Additionally to my comments above, a couple more questions:

 

1) How do I specify a single customer group (discounts) in a template and apply all the rules of that group to all prices shown in the outputted PDF catalogue (all product combinations)?

 

2) Can the quality/file size of the outputted PDF's be reduced, as they are quite large?

 

Thanks,

 

Adam.

1) TOC

 

I haven't try to do a complex table of contents. In general, the whole catalog have to be grouped by categories to group TOC by categories as well. Start with the "Catalog sorted by category organized in grid" template (m4_catalog_sorted_category.tpl).

 

There are two TOC tags available:

• <tocpagebreak> (http://mpdf1.com/manual/index.php?tid=182)
• <tocentry> (http://mpdf1.com/manual/index.php?tid=119)

 

2) Tables

 

See http://mpdf1.com/manual/index.php?tid=319 and http://mpdf1.com/manual/index.php?tid=77 for options. Escpecially these parts:

• prevent an individual table from resizing e.g. <table autosize="1">
• <table style="page-break-inside:avoid"> to force the table onto one page.

1) Customer group prices

 

An example is in the "Catalog with specific prices, filtered" template (m4_catalog_specific_prices.tpl). Define the groupFilter variable (an array of group IDs) at the top.

 

2) PDF size

You probably mean a catalog with many images. I think it is about these images. You can use smaller images. Just define the type (depends on your store settings). :

 

{imageLink type=medium_default .....

Thanks for this - the image size selector worked great.

 

However, I'm still having trouble with group ID's, even using the 'm4_catalog_specific_prices.tpl'. It seems that it only displays specific prices set within each product (I even checked the data output through the debug.tpl). 

 

For example, I have a group that gives 20% off all products in the store. I could hard code the 20% into the template, but I would preferably like to reference the group data itself.

 

Additionally, I have another group that gives 20% of category A, 30% of category B etc...

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks.

Edited August 12, 2015 by mediabunker (see edit history)

[tuk66 786]

Consider to calculate prices using the SpecificPrice::getSpecificPrice static method if you have complex price structure. Just be sure you have set all parameters as you need. I mean prices aren't fixed, but depend on customer group, country, currency and others.

[mediabunker 1]

Hi,

 

Thanks for the tip - Could you provide an example of how this would work in a template, I'm not exactly sure how you would include this function within smarty code... or would I need to add it into M4_product.php somewhere?

 

...help very confused, any help would be appreciated.

 

Thankyou.

[tuk66 786]

[Plika1988 3]

Is it possible to get the total reduction amount from an order with this module? Not just the voucher discount total.

[tuk66 786]

Yes, it is. You have base prices for all order items and the total amount. The difference is the total discount.

[Plika1988 3]

Thats awesome. Just what I've been looking for. So then how would you get the total base price before discount then?

[tuk66 786]

Start with the m4_invoice_discount.tpl template, where $base_price and $base_price_wt variables are calculated for every order item, and sum them inside the loop. Something like:

{assign var="total_base_price" value="`0`"}
{section name=detail loop=$order[orders].order_detail}
    ...
    {assign var="total_base_price" value=$total_base_price+$base_price}
    ...
{/section}

Edited September 8, 2015 by tuk66 (see edit history)

[Plika1988 3]

Oke so I'm in the m4_invoice_discount.tpl template and I'm not sure where to put the code. Could you help me?

 

and is this all i have to add or is there more to it?

{assign var="total_base_price" value="`0`"}
{section ...}
    {assign var="total_base_price" value=$total_base_price+$base_price}
{/section}

Sorry for al the questions. Not my strong point.

[tuk66 786]

OK. I changed the section tag to know more.

[Plika1988 3]

Thank you. that has got me a little further.

 

I'm testing it on an order that has 3 different products. Each product has a different price.

 

product 1 : € 7.00

product 2 : € 6.00

product 3 : € 5.25

Total : € 18.25

 

The problem I'm having now is that it is only adding up product 1 (€ 7.00 x 3). So it's displaying the total as € 21.00.

 

What am I doing wrong?

[tuk66 786]

Yeah, $base_price is the price for one piece. You need to multiply it by $order[orders].order_detail[detail].product_quantity.

[Plika1988 3]

Okey....I'm totally lost now. I'll just leave the total discount i think.

 

Awesome module though. I love the fact that you can look up the variables easily.

 

Thanks for your help and time.

[giuliopowa 120]

hello,

i have a problem .
for example , when a german costumer make a order in my site this is what is in the pdf (img 1)

I want the PDF that I print of the back office is completely in Italian. For the description of the products I make in this way. (img 2)
but the attribute does not change the language, is the language that the customer chooses to view the site.

 

because I have the site in 4 languages: Italian, English, German, Slovenian.

and for example, if a German customer chooses to view the site in German, the attribute will be in German. but I would like to be in Italian.

thanks !!

 

[tuk66 786]

It is not so easy. The German part (left) is composed from the product name and all attributes and stored in the database just in customer's language. The Italian part is taken from the product itself (description) and this text will change in the invoice, when you change the product description itself.

 

The German part can be taken from the product as well, but you need to deal with attributes and know that it can change as well.

[giuliopowa 120]

hello,

but there is a way to solve this my problem ??

thanks !

[tuk66 786]

Using the Product::getProductName method is one approach.

[wbtitsing 0]

I run version 2.2.4 on prestashop 1.6.0.14

I setup the "package send" status to include an invoice.

 

2 problems here:

 

1 pdf is in wrong language

2 pdf states "no order" at the beginning of the pdf

 

However when I make an testorder myself and set the status to "package send" I get a correct invoice.

I can also clearly see in Amazon that the pdf files are wrong because I can see what messages are sent.

 

Any ideas?

[tuk66 786]

@wbtitsing

 

1. What do you mean "wrong language"?

2. Where is the PDF created (Orders, module administration, Front Office). Do you mean "no orders"?

[wbtitsing 0]

1 The invoice created should have the customers language, however the pdf created has the standard language of the shop.

2 I do not know where and when the actual is created but I can tell you where I set it so be created/ send

   In the tab Statuses you can edit the many statuses. The standard status shipped has a checkbox for: Attach invoice PDF to email

  I checked that box. The PDF created says "no orders" I think when the language is different from the standard language.

 

Hopefully it is clear what I mean.

Hi all, i've bought the module, how can edit the invoice template m4_invoice_2_nonzero.tpl to show the DNI in PDF? The client also add the DNI in his account, but when i make the invoice a can't see the DNI.

Prestasho version 1.6.0.11

Module version 2.2.4

Let me know, thanks!

[tuk66 786]

The DNI field is in the ps_address table, so you can show it these ways:

{if $order[orders].address_delivery.dni}{$order[orders].address_delivery.dni|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}{/if}
or
{if $order[orders].address_invoice.dni}{$order[orders].address_invoice.dni|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}{/if}


As of client's DNI, do you mean she added it to the contact details, as Registration? If yes, this value is already shown in the footer, using this snippet:

if $order[orders].shop.shop_details}{$order[orders].shop.shop_details|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}{/if}

[JenL 2]

Hello,

I have a question.

 

You customized an invoice for me since I have a lot of customers in Norway and need a lot of details on the invoices because of customs.

 

Now I had a Black Friday sale with 20% discount and free shipping.
Inoticed that the discount and the free shipping doesn't show up on my customized invoices.
Can this be fixed ?

I also have free shipping once the order goes over 1000 SEK, that also doesn't show up on the invoice.

But I need this detailed on the invoices because norwegian customs wants to know the shipping costs all the time.

 

Best regards,

Jennifer

[tuk66 786]

Can you send me the customized template as well as some real examples (@ email or PM)? There is no problem to improve it.

[Totti 59]

This module is not compatible with new function of PS ?

 

[tuk66 786]

You mean these options:

• Add current year to invoice number
• Reset Invoice progressive number at beginning of the year

Only the first is important (the second is managed directly in the database).

 

You can imitate this setting in some template using these snippets:

 

PREFIX

{$order[orders].shop.invoice_prefix}

 

INVOICE NUMBER

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

 

YEAR of order

{$order[orders].date_add|date_format:"%Y"}

 

YEAR of invoice

{$order[orders].invoice_date|date_format:"%Y"}

 

[Totti 59]

Thanks !

Thanks for your last answer concerning the snippet to show the product names in the back office language.

 

Let me know if the following is possible to be done with this module:

 

I need to print every day a summary of orders (name & address of buyer and items buyed) to be prepared at the warehouse. At this point, I am printing every single delivery slip and I would like to have them all together in a single document.

 

The point is:

 

1. Can I select multiple orders and print an extract of those orders in a single document?

 

2. Can I print a number of orders that have a certain status?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Jorge

Edited January 19, 2016 by smaagraa (see edit history)

[tuk66 786]

There is the "Order items list" template which can be easily adapted to print the summary as you described.

 

1, 2

You can filter out orders by dates from-to, order status and more and print the summary in one document.

 

More select options will come in a next version. Stay tuned.

[smaagraa 0]

Tuk:

 

I finally got to work the template in which I get a summary of the orders filtered. The only problem now is the page break between sections in loop. I do not get to work the page-break-inside property in the template. Is this a browser problem? How can I get the template not to cut the sections or divs when they reach the end of the page?

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Jorge.

[tuk66 786]

In page layout templates, page breaks are done by this style:

{if !$smarty.section.orders.first}document{$smarty.section.orders.index}{/if}

Just remove it. You can add a page break as

<pagebreak />

[haylau 198]

Hi

 

Really not sure if this is to do with prestashop, m4pdf or another module altogether 

 

We have a purchase order payment module. The customer types in a  purchase order number, and the module creates a customer message with the order number. All works fine, I can see the message in the back office and I can see the message on our M4PDF template invoice. BUT the order confirmation email which has the invoice attached does not show the message

 

So, first of all settings. You can see here I am using the same template

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Customer creates an order and we can see here the purchase order number is in the message area

 

Invoice from back office (and in customer account) shows customer message:

 

 

Invoice emailed to customer as part of the order confirmation email shows message is missing

 

 

You can see both invoice are the same m4pdf template, just the emailed one does not have the customer message,

 

Any ideas ?? Is there a reason prestashop / m4pdf would send a slightly altered invoice?

 

Edited March 2, 2016 by haylau (see edit history)

[tuk66 786]

That message is stored in the database by a 3rd party module and it probably becomes after sending the order confirmation email.

[ritopina 25]

Hi,

PDF module is it seo friendly in product page. If the pdf module generates a sheet, google can consider the pdf and the product page as duplicate. and PDF button on the product page it is nofollow

 

Your module interests me, but I fear the dupliacte, can you confirm to me that there is no problem with google.

 

Best regard

[tuk66 786]

There is no problem with Google, because the PDF catalog is generated by JavaScript and downloaded dynamically in a hidden iframe. I mean, there is no real <a> element which links to the PDF document.

[ritopina 25]

This is good news for seo 

Thank

Sample custom catalog for Italian wine seller

[haylau 198]

Hi

 

We are using module version 2.2.2 with prestashop 1.6.1.3 and "Invoice with message from a customer"

 

The code for the customer message is:

<!-- start order message block -->
{if $order[orders].message.message}
<div class="clear">{l s='Customer\'s message:' mod='m4pdf'}</div>
<div class="clear">{$order[orders].message.message|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</div>
{/if}
<!-- end order message block -->

The problem we have is that there is often more than one customer message (for example our quote module will add the quote number as a message, the customer might leave their own message and the payment system also adds a message)

 

Now what happens is that each message is put on a new page rather than a new line. So, one customer with one order is getting a three page invoice. Each page contains the full invoice details plus one of the messages

 

Anyway to join all these messages so they appear on the same page?

[tuk66 786]

It looks like unexpected use of the ps_message table by the module. Can you send me PM with data from the ps_message table?

[tuk66 786]

Some modules use messages in their own way, so I prepared a fix for the next version (2.3.0). Send me PM if you need it right now.

[planetediscount 5]

Hello, I find a problem after updating to prestashop 1.6.1.4. And for fist time credit slip in Prestashop in good but in M4 PDF 2.2.4 it is wrong. (with have done the commit (https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/commit/f42c45fcb69fe445dadd344ee260c612cef4909e) for good shipping tax on credit slip, so this is also good on M4 PDF

 

I have with prestashop credit slip : (that is good)

Products :

- 5,99 €

- 30,00 €

- 26,90 €

 

Shipping tax inlc - 13,99 €

Total Products tax inlc- 62,89 €

Total Tax - 12,81 €

Total tax incl - 76,88 €

 

Tax detail 20.000 %

Products - 10,48 €

shipping - 2,33 €

 

 

But on M4 PDF 2.2.4 with credit slip or Credit slips - compound taxes i have :

Products:

- 5,99 € 

- 30,00 €

- 26,90 €

 

Shipping tax inlc - 13,99 €

Total Products tax inlc- 52,41 € -- WRONG should be 62.89 € --- 52.41 € is the total products price BUT without tax.

Total Tax - 11,06 €

Total tax incl - 66,40 €

 

Tax detail 20.000 %

Products - 8,73 €

shipping - 2,33 €

 

 

On Prestashop 1.6.0.14 it was working fine, but on Prestashop 1.6.1.4 it does this. Really strange.

 

Thanks for help

[planetediscount 5]

I maybe find why this error :

 

On the table "order_slip" on database with have the column "amount" where on Prestashop 1.6.0.14 the total product with tax was filled in. BUT now with Prestashop 1.6.1.4 it is filled with total product without tax so in this case 52.41€.

 

I think your template then use this column amount where prestashop credit slip don't use it. How can we change this ?

 

Regards,

[tuk66 786]

Thanks for the very detailed description. In fact, PrestaShop is like flowing sands. One version is right, another is wrong, we prepare a fix, and so on, and so on. This is why this module came into being. Overcome problems in a simple manner.

 

I will properly test it within next days and find the best solution.
 

[planetediscount 5]

Hello Tuk66,

 

I think i found solution, Prestashop is so poor, really i may think to change solution as they really don't care, don't test, and don't even change when commit on Forge are making it better.

 

This problem is on all prestashop 1.6.1.x and EVEN on Prestashop 1.7, really stupid.

 

We have to change (yes again) one line in orderslip.php

(for other with shipping tax wrong on credit slip is commit see post #354) 

 

See the commit here :

https://github.com/PrestaShop/PrestaShop/pull/3174

 

I have tested and now all is ok i may continu some testing to be sure.

 

I'm also really surprise that nobody else came here to talk about this ? does merchant just don't use credit slip or don't do legal credit slip ?

[tuk66 786]

Sometimes someone causes an error when modifying code. I have seen it many times, but almost no tests is simply a wrong way.

 

That commit is 10 months old!

[planetediscount 5]

Yes like you say Tuk66 the commit is 10 months old, but xBorderie instead of make test as prefered to say to guzru to make the commit again on branch 1.6.1, i found this so amazing. Look like we have to make they job...

That worked

 

 

Try to adapt this recipe:

https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/270613-module-m4-pdf-extensions-with-online-editor/page-9?do=findComment&comment=1807308

 

and replace

<td width="20%">
    {assign var="id_product_id_image" value="`$products.id_product`-`$products.image.id_image`"}
    <img class="photo" src="{if $products.image.id_image}{imageLink name=$products.link_rewrite ids=$id_product_id_image force_protocol=$force_protocol}{else}{$conf.img_prod_dir}{$conf.pdf_iso_lang}.jpg{/if}" />
</td>

with

<td width="20%">
    {factory assign="product" class="Product" id_product=$products.id_product id_lang=$m4_actual_language}
    {if is_object($product)}
        {assign var="images" value=$product->getImages($m4_actual_language)}
        {assign var="i" value=0}
        {section name=image loop=$images}
            {if $images[image].id_image && $i < 2}
                {assign var="id_product_id_image" value="`$products.id_product`-`$images[image].id_image`"}
                {if $products.image.id_image}<img class="photo" src="{imageLink name=$products.link_rewrite ids=$id_product_id_image force_protocol=$force_protocol}" />{/if}
                {assign var="i" value="`$i+1`"}

That worked like a Charm.. thanks

Hello,

Thanks

You can get the available_date value using:

 

{$order[orders].order_detail[detail].product.available_date}

or

{dateFormatLanguage date=$order[orders].order_detail[detail].product.available_date full=0}

Hello,

First, fantastic module!

Next, we are using invoice with details, what I need to add is the email address of the customer onto the invoice, under telephone number of invoice/shipping details.

 

I can't figure out the code to do this though? Can you help?

 

Many thanks!

[tuk66 786]

Use

{$order[orders].customer.email|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}

to show the customer's email address.

Hello, 

 

the invoice generated has different total amount, I think it is due to rounding problem, any way to set/solve?

[tuk66 786]

Can you clarify your issue? The settings, the real database data as well as a PDF example are helpful.

Hello

 

How can I change the original delivery slip with the modified in the module, in the back office when I click on the button it generates the correct deliveyslip but the email that is sent keeps the old one.

 

Any suggestion?

 

reagrds,

[tuk66 786]

The email is sent with the invoice, not the delivery slip. See Payment Module > Invoice via email on the Settings tab.

Hello

 

Correct, I made all pdf look like the delivery (I do not need invoices) The module is perfectly integrated right now thanks for the help.

Font problem after updating Adobe Reader DC

 

Edit:

Version 2.2.5 contains the fixed fonts and no additional action is needed.

 

Edit 2:

There is a hotfix patch for Adobe DC and Adobe Reader DC at https://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/release-note/acrobat-dc-july-21-2016.html.

 

 

 

Some accented characters are not displayed (like á, š, ž, ż, ł, å, ä) and we can see this error (or similar):

Cannot extract the embedded font MPDFAA++DejaVuSansCondensed some characters may not display or print correctly

Affected versions are Adobe Reader DC 15.007.*, 15.017.*. Older Acrobat Reader versions works fine as well as 3rd party PDF readers.

 

The latest versions seem to be more stringent on PDF specifications than the previous.



How to fix it:
- remove all files beginning with DejaVu from the /modules/m4pdf/libraries/mpdf/ttfonts directory
- remove all files beginning with dejavu from the /modules/m4pdf/libraries/mpdf/ttfontdata directory
- download fixed fonts at http://www.presta-addons.com/download498845689/m4pdf_fonts_2.3.zip and unzip them to the /modules/m4pdf/libraries/mpdf/ttfonts directory

 

How to fix your own fonts:
Use the "Type light" font editor - just open the TTF font file and save it.

Hi again, Tuk66.

 

I need to use a different field to filter "orders with detail" in the controller. Instead of invoice_date, I need to use delivery_date. Where can I change it?

 

Now I am filtering within the template but this only allows me to filter the orders within the day (see below) and not the orders in a determinate range of dates.

{if $order[orders].delivery_date|date_format:"%d/%m/%Y" == $smarty.now|date_format:"%d/%m/%Y"}
...
{/if}

If there was an option to point at the filtering range of the controller from within the template, this could also solve this issue.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Jordi

 

Keys: filter, date, template, controller, orders, detail

Add this snippet in the /modules/m4pdf/M4Order.php file:

'delivery_date' => array('title' => $this->l('Delivery date'), 'widthColumn' => 65, 'width' => 65, 'align' => 'right', 'type' => 'date',
    'filter_key' => 'a!delivery_date'),

to $this->fields_display just before closing );

 

and also this one in the /modules/m4pdf/M4Object.php, the preProcess function, below the line: "$filter == 'invoice_date' ||"

$filter == 'delivery_date' ||

Thanks for your prompt answer, Vlad. I tried it but it does not filter anything when entering date ranges.  I have tried emptying cache and recompiling, but no luck. PS version is 1.6.1.2. Module version is 2.2.4

Hi,

 

I need to include the Order Number in my invoices & delivery slips eg. "Order 123 Invoice 88.PDF"

 

This is because I send invoices and delivery notes to my warehouse but when they have a question they reference the filename (invoice123.pdf or deliveryslip103.pdf), but I cannot quickly find the relevant order in prestashop without opening the PDF as there is no way to quickly list orders by invoice number in prestashop.

 

I would need to enter an OrderNumber placeholder in the file name field - is this possible?

 

Thanks a lot!

Hi, encoutering a strange issue which I'm not sure if its related to Hosting, or the module? Bit of advice.

When I try to create a Invoice with a message, for more than 20 orders at one time, this then creates a 404 Error.

If its less than 20 orders, then the PDF creates fine and I get all my invoices. Any more than 20, I have to split them.

 

Any ideas what it could be or if it is to do with my hosting company, what to ask them to do?

Thanks

The invoice number is shown at the Orders with details tab in the module administration.

 

I wouldn't recommend to patch the invoice filename numbering, because of problems with upgrades.

What Memory limit and Max execution time do you see at Advanced Parameters > Configuration Information? I think it can be low timeout related issue.

It would be unusual if 30 seconds is not enough to create 20 invoices. Anyway, I think this could be the reason. Is your server slow or fast? What URL?
