Need to display double currency and change pdf language

[totalus_pravalas]

Hi,

 

been using prestashop download for a year or so- modified it to my needs. Now considering switching to cloud, but i have these two issues:

1. due to my country law i must display product prices in two currencies- i achieved that in download version by using the code supplied by vekia, here's that topic. how can i apply same code in cloud, i connected through ftp, but didn't find how to achieve this?
2. whenever a pdf invoice is generated, my language characters display wrongly- i found that i need to modify classes/pdf/PdfGenerator.php in download version and change language from helvetica to freeserif. again when i connect through ftp i can't do that... there is no PdfGenerator.php at all... any ideas?

any input would be greatly appreciated

Cloud has some limitations. You can only override classes in /override folder. There is no way how to change files in /classes folder.

[vekia]

you create create override of class with code that i suggested to use.

but...  i just wondering how to "remove" class_index.php to rebuild it with correct path to override

thanks for the replies tuk and vekia. gonna try to do some overriding and will update with the results later.

ok my programming skills are close to non existent, so no big surprises that i failed with my results. here's what i did:

 

regarding changing pdf invoice language i created a file named PdfGenerator.php and uploaded into folder: override/classes/pdf

 

this is how the file content lookes like:

 

<?php
const DEFAULT_FONT = ‘freeserif’;
?>

 

probably a lot missing here, but as i said, i know nothing about programming...

 

then i deleted the file class_index.php from override/classes/cache to invoke regeneration...

 

nothing happened and even the file that i deleted hasn't came back...

 

 

 

regarding adding a second currency i created the file frontController.php and placed it to: override/classes/controller/

 

file looked like this:

 

<?php
public static function ConvertPrice($value,$currencyFrom,$currencyTo){
        $currency_from = new currency($currencyFrom);
        $currency_to = new Currency($currencyTo);
        return Tools::displayPrice(Tools::convertPriceFull($value,$currency_from,$currency_to),$currency_to);
    }
?>

 

then i added:

{convertPrice price=FrontController::ConvertPrice($product.price,$cookie->id_currency,2)}

 

in product.tpl and product-list.tpl

 

nothing happened again...

 

any ideas or suggestions from more programming savvy forum members?

Hi guys, 

I would appreciate help with changing the language for invoices, At the moment it is in english and I need to change the invoice  to french and dutch. 

Thanks for any advice, 

kind regards

To have invoice in French you need to download Prestashop in French. I use the cloud version of Prestashop and all my invoices are in French. They are not set up in English, so you need to install the French version, the french language and also the dutch language and it should be working. It works for me. 

 

When I sell on the English part the invoice is in French but the name of the goods are in English.

 

Hope this helps.

Invoices are only printed in the language of the shop administrator and not the user language ! So if your back-office is English invoices are printed in English, if you need the invoices printed in French than you should add a new employee with the default language French and switch between users when you need the invoices printed in French.

You can print invoices in the customer's language after applying a small override for classes/pdf/HTMLTemplate.php.

Insert in function getTemplate before the last line:

 if ( $this->order )
    Context::getContext()->language = new Language($this->order->id_lang);

In the cloud you have to ave the following override as HTMLTemplate.php and upload it to /overrides/classes/pdf:

<?php

class HTMLTemplate extends HTMLTemplateCore
{
protected function getTemplate($template_name)
  {
	$template = false;
	$default_template = _PS_PDF_DIR_.'/'.$template_name.'.tpl';
	$overriden_template = _PS_THEME_DIR_.'pdf/'.$template_name.'.tpl';

	if (file_exists($overriden_template))
		$template = $overriden_template;
	else if (file_exists($default_template))
		$template = $default_template;

	 // SELECT ORDER LANGUAGE FOR THE TEMPLATE
  if ( $this->order )
    Context::getContext()->language = new Language($this->order->id_lang);

  return $template;
  }
}
