Invoice PDF

[danielsaar]

Hi all,

as there is an "Spelling mistake" in the other posting, I reduce the text and ask again.

MainQuestion:

I need to add pdf invoice to the confirmation Mail.
Couldn't find anything in documentation/ google.
Is there a setting for this? I should change php-code? Or any modul?

....
 

A general question:
My experience in online shopping online is, that I get an e-Mail with a PDF-Invoice.
How is your experience and,If you are a developer/freelancer/agency : How often your clients ask
for the feature "Invoice PDF"?

 

Yours
Daniel

Fastest way in module either manual send the email with PDF invoice ( safe way in my opinion ).

[danielsaar]

Thanks ComGrafPL,

step by step.

There are 3 Questions:

1) Is there a setting for this?
If there exist a setting area in Prestashop I couldn' find, please help me to find it.
If there is no setting in the default installation of Prestashop please answer: No.

2) I should change php-code?
I understand you in the way: no need to change.

3) Or any modul?
I understand "Fastest way in module", that where is a module for "Invoice PDF".
Is this correkt?

Which Module you can recommend?
Can you send a link?

 

::: EDIT 1 ::::

I found this: https://devdocs.prestashop.com/1.7/modules/concepts/pdf/

Yes, its true: "Working on what make a shop an unique experience, as a Developer you will be asked to customize every PDF files that PrestaShop can produce."

But before "customize" I like to send the PDF in the Mail.
First sending, later make beautiful

Anybody know the URL for a documentation How to put in sending PDF by mail?

I searched in google again. It seems that Prestashop cannot attach PDF to mails by default.
Thats correkt?

yours
Daniel

In the menu: 

Shop Parameters -> Order Settings -> Statuses (second tab).

When you edit a status you can define what pdf should be attached.

in 1.6: Orders -> Statuses

Hi Musicmaker,

I changed the settings in "preparation" and "bankwire" and checked the ckeckbox to attach the PDF.
What else do I need to do, to get an attached PDF. I made a test-order and get the Mails.
But there was no attached PDF.

If this is a "cache-subject" it would help, if we have a list in which we can see which "setting-change" requires a deletion of the cache.

 

yours Daniel

Hi Daniel,

After every change you make and before every post on the forum you should empty your cache.

Trying everything you know could work - and that includes cleaning the cache - is just basic politeness to the people trying to help you on the forum.

Regards,

M

Is there anyting else to do to get the PDF?

It would help if you told us your Prestashop version.

Hi Musicmaster,

its: 1.7.7.8

Could be its the wrong "Status" ("Shop Parameters -> Order Settings -> Statuses (second tab")
I did the checkbox "on".

I did it here:

and here:

To make a order test, I created a user inside a new User-Group. But inside this User-Group is nothing to block any PDF-sending.
I can see something like "Autorisierte Module" but there is nothing about "PDF".
As Mailclient I use Thunderbird. If there is a blocking of external content, normaly you can see a warning-text.

Is there any kind of internal logg-history in Presta there i could find a row like "PDF-Attachment send by mail"?
::: EDIT  1:::

Now I tried this modul:

https://addons.prestashop.com/demo/FO13778.html

I hoped to get a PDF Invoice by testing the modul on the Demoshop

 

 

But also I did not get any PDF:

 

After this I send an PDF-Attachment to my Mailaccount.
Its looks like this:

 

 

In Thunderbird you see a Paper clip.

::::::::: END EDIT 1 :::::::::::

::::: EDIT 2 ::::::

What does this mean?

 

When I klick on "Dokumente" there is a button "create invoice".
I thought the invoice will be created automaticly and attached as a PDF to the confirmation Mail.
Please help me. I can not understand the interrelationships.
