PDF Invoice Customization 1.5.4.1

[neetupahwa]

I am trying to add Order number & Order Date under the Invoice number in header.tpl file.

 

How can I access the order number and order date variable?

 

I copied the order number and order date code from invoice.tpl, but its not working. 

 

Please help.

 

Here is the code in header.tpl:

        <tr>
            	<td style="font-size: 14pt; color: #9E9F9E"> {$order->getUniqReference()}</td>
			</tr>

Can someone please reply? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks eleazar for helping me, but it is still not working.

 

When I add {$order->getUniqReference()} to the header.php, the invoice does not open up in pdf, instead it displays only invoice date and invoice number in new browser window and everything is blank under that. When I tried running it only with the {$order->date_add|date_format:"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"}, it opens up pdf, but does not displays order number; other invoice information (billing address, invoice items etc) are visible.

 

 

Here is the code (header.tpl):

<table style="width: 100%">
<tr>
	<td style="width: 50%">
		{if $logo_path}
      
			<img src="#" width="150px" />
          
		{/if}
	</td>
	<td style="width: 50%; text-align: right;">
		<table style="width: 100%">
        
		
            
			<tr>
				<td style="font-size: 14pt; color: #9E9F9E;">Date: {$date|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</td>
			</tr>
			<tr>
				<td style="font-size: 14pt; color: #9E9F9E">{$title|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'}</td>
			</tr>
           
			<tr>
				<td style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 14pt; color: #444; width: 100%">Order Number: {$order->getUniqReference()}</td>
			</tr>
			
			<tr>
				<td style="font-weight: bold; font-size: 14pt; color: #444; width: 100%">Order Date: {$order->date_add|date_format:"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"}</td>
			</tr>
           
		</table>
	</td>
</tr>
</table>

Following is the output of the above code, which is displayed in browser window not pdf; it doesn't displays other invoice information as well. Please help.

Thanks eleazar. Its working now  .

 

One more question, How can I change the font of the invoice to century gothic?

[tuk66]

There are DEFAULT_FONT and $font_by_lang settings in the /classes/pdf/PDFGenerator.php file.

 

Try to use centurygothic there.

Changed the font in PDFGenerator.php, but it displays error.

const DEFAULT_FONT = 'centurygothic';

Error: TCPDF ERROR: Could not include font definition file: centurygothic

 

Do I need to add the font somewhere before using it?

[tuk66]

From the /tools/tcpdf/tcpdf.php file:

 

* It is necessary to generate a font definition file first (read /fonts/utils/README.TXT).
* The definition file (and the font file itself when embedding) must be present either in the current directory or in the one indicated by K_PATH_FONTS if the constant is defined. If it could not be found, the error "Could not include font definition file" is generated.

Hi tuk66 

 

Could you please explain a little bit easier and a a bit more detailed? I don't have utils directory, so i can't read readme.txt file. I just don't understand what to do to be honest  

 

I'm using PS 1.5.4.1 and i'd like to add a custom font too.

 

How do i generate it? Through the backoffice? Where exactly should i put my custom font files?

 

Regards,

Housy

These two sentences are from the tcpdf.php file. The README.TXT file is probably only in full TCPDF package, not included in the /tools/tcpdf folder in PrestaShop.

 

It was just hints. TCPDF is not in my scope. In general, you should have a definition and fonts. Some other hints should be in this forum or on the web.
