PS 1.7.5.0 not generating invoices using Orders > Invoices

[ivanpav]

Hello.

I have one problem.

If I go to Order detail and generate invoice, all is ok, it is downloadable. But from Orders > Invoices .. only the spin is running and nothing happens, no file download offer.  It only refreshes the backoffice and nothing happens. Can you help me please? I also tried debug mode and no error messages.

Thak you very much.

Did you solve it somehow?

• Exactly the same - the invoices are there to be downloaded via order, but not via Export
• But "Generating PDF" click - worksbut nothing happens (page with invoice export just refreshes)
• Enabling DebugMode broke my admin - like 20 errors dooh
• PrestaShop version: 1.7.6.4

I could download the invoice one by one but I still would like to have it solved

i have same problem, version 1.7.6.8
I have to download the invoice one by one but I it is not solution for hundreds of invoices

If you have too much invoices, it can simply fail due to the server timeout which is usually 30 seconds on shared hostings.

No, it is not this case
I try only 1, 12 and 20. Each download was less than 30s.
The result is the same, only refresh the page

Have any of you found out where the problem is? I have discovered it might be a hosting issue, because when I moved the site to another host, it started working. But I have no idea whats wrong with the old hosting, because there are no errors, it just does not work.

Try this link if it does work:

https://www.YOURDOMAIN.COM/ADMIN/index.php?controller=AdminPdf&date_from=2021-01-01&date_to=2021-01-21&submitAction=generateInvoicesPDF&token=TOKEN

if you login to your prestashop administration, you can get token from URL. just replace TOKEN with the actual token.

Has anyone found an answer to this problem? I'm experiencing the same on PS 1.7.6.1. The POST request is made correctly, the request headers indicate that a file transfer is to be initiated with the correct invoice filename, but it returns a 302 response code and redirects to the invoices screen without downloading anything...

This link work correctly

https://www.YOURDOMAIN.COM/ADMIN/index.php?controller=AdminPdf&date_from=2021-01-01&date_to=2021-01-21&submitAction=generateInvoicesPDF&token=TOKEN

Yes, it does, but that's not a solution, that's a cumbersome workaround at best. Regular users will never prefer that method.

I've managed to fix this. I believe it has to do something with hosting configuration, because Invoice PDF generating work in Prestashop demo.

You need FTP access to edit this file:

/src/PrestaShopBundle/Controller/Admin/Sell/Order/InvoicesController.php

Find this method

    public function generatePdfByDateAction(Request $request)
    {
        $formHandler = $this->get('prestashop.admin.order.invoices.by_date.form_handler');
        $this->processForm($formHandler, $request);

        return $this->redirectToRoute('admin_order_invoices');
    }

and replace it with this method (working on PS 1.7.8.7)

    public function generatePdfByDateAction(Request $request)
    {
        $formHandler = $this->get('prestashop.admin.order.invoices.by_date.form_handler');
        $form = $formHandler->getForm();
        $form->handleRequest($request);
        if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
            $errors = $formHandler->save($form->getData());
            if (empty($errors)) {
                $by_date = $form->getData();

                return $this->redirect(
                    $this->get('prestashop.adapter.legacy.context')->getAdminLink(
                        'AdminPdf',
                        true,
                        [
                            'date_from' => $by_date['date_from'],
                            'date_to' => $by_date['date_to'],
                            'submitAction' => 'generateInvoicesPDF',
                        ]
                    )
                );
            }
        }

        if (!empty($errors)) {
            $this->flashErrors($errors);
        }

        return $this->redirectToRoute('admin_order_invoices');
    }

if it does not work for you, try to replace it with this one (working on PS 1.7.6.7)

    public function generatePdfByDateAction(Request $request)
    {
        $formHandler = $this->get('prestashop.admin.order.invoices.by_date.form_handler');
        $form = $formHandler->getForm();
        $form->handleRequest($request);
        if ($form->isSubmitted() && $form->isValid()) {
            $errors = $formHandler->save($form->getData());
            if (empty($errors)) {
                $by_date = $form->get('generate_by_date')->getData();

                return $this->redirect(
                    $this->get('prestashop.adapter.legacy.context')->getAdminLink(
                        'AdminPdf',
                        true,
                        [
                            'date_from' => $by_date['date_from'],
                            'date_to' => $by_date['date_to'],
                            'submitAction' => 'generateInvoicesPDF',
                        ]
                    )
                );
            }
        }
        
        if (!empty($errors)) {
            $this->flashErrors($errors);
        }

        return $this->redirectToRoute('admin_order_invoices');
    }

Bear in mind these files will be overriden with every Prestashop update.
