Add variable "lastname" in invoice pdf

[webrider]

Hi,

I'm trying to add the variable "lastname" (Dear "title" "lastname") in my pdf invoice to display an introduction sentence.

 

I've tried all what I have found and not working, if anyone have an idea!!! would be fantastic!

 

1/ I have modified the invoice.tpl adding various code:

 

<td><span>{l s='Dear' pdf='true'}</span>{l s='Carrier:' pdf='true'}<br />
           

{$customer->lastname}
         

($invoice_address->lastname)   
            

$this->context->customer->lastname

 

2/ I have then tried to modify  classes/pdf/templateinvoice.php  adding the line in red.

 

$this->smarty->assign(array(
            'order' => $this->order,
            'order_details' => $order_details,
            'delivery_address' => $formatted_delivery_address,
            'invoice_address' => $formatted_invoice_address,
            'order_invoice' => $this->order_invoice,
            'carrier' => $carrier
            'lastname' => $this->customer->lastname
        ));

        return $this->smarty->fetch($this->getTemplate('delivery-slip'));
    }

 

And in all cases, it doesn't work. I don't know too much about php but I beleive this is quite simple to do like in the email templates!

Try

{$lastname}

[webrider]

Hi tuk66,

 

I've tried {$lastname} as follow and still can't get it. Thank you anyway!

 

<td><span>{l s='Dear' pdf='true'}</span>{l s='Carrier:' pdf='true'}<br />

           

{$lastname}

[tuk66]

What about cache. If you have 'lastname' in the Smarty assign array, then {$lastname} should work.

[webrider]

Hi,

 

I emptied the cache with no result.

 

When I try to insert one of the 2 bolded lines in classes/pdf/templatedeliveryslip.php, I get an error (the pdf is not generated, blank page)

$this->smarty->assign(array(
            'order' => $this->order,
            'order_details' => $order_details,
            'delivery_address' => $formatted_delivery_address,
            'invoice_address' => $formatted_invoice_address,
            'order_invoice' => $this->order_invoice,
            'carrier' => $carrier
            'lastname' => $this->context->customer->lastname,
               'lastname' => $this->formatted_delivery_address->lastname,

           
        ));


I get the same if I do it on templateinvoice.php in both cases it does break the pdf generation.

$data = array(
            'order' => $this->order,
            'order_details' => $order_details,
            'cart_rules' => $this->order->getCartRules($this->order_invoice->id),
            'delivery_address' => $formatted_delivery_address,
            'invoice_address' => $formatted_invoice_address,
            'tax_excluded_display' => Group::getPriceDisplayMethod($customer->id_default_group),
            'tax_tab' => $this->getTaxTabContent(),
            'customer' => $customer
            'lastname' => $this->context->customer->lastname,
        );

 

I've tried to find some inspiration in the email sending process where it is easy to add this lastname! but my knowledge in php is far too limited...

Hello. I'm curently on my phone right now.

 

But before the smarty assign add:

 

$customer = new Customer((int)$this->order->id_customer);

 

And then assign lastname using $customer->lastname

[PhpMadman]

As for the context->customer code.

That tries to retrive customer from current customer, and that you don't have in BO.

Blank page is possibly because you need to add a comma on the line BEFORE one of the bold lines, so:

 

            'carrier' => $carrier,        <--

            'lastname' => $this->context->customer->lastname,

               'lastname' => $this->formatted_delivery_address->lastname,

 

 

and 

           'customer' => $customer,      <--

            'lastname' => $this->context->customer->lastname,

 

 

Also, make sure you temporarily turn Advanced Parameters-> Optimization: Force compilation -> ON

 

My 2 cents,

1 week later... Pascal & PhpMadman I have applied your adivices and it works great, thank you for your time (and the others!).

 

so basically for people who'd like to personnalize their .pdf invoice, delivery slip...

 

in /CLASSES/PDF/DELIVERYSLIPTEMPLATE   I have added lines in bold

 

$this->smarty->assign(array(

'order' => $this->order,

'order_details' => $order_details,

'delivery_address' => $formatted_delivery_address,

'invoice_address' => $formatted_invoice_address,

'order_invoice' => $this->order_invoice,

'carrier' => $carrier,

'customer' => $customer,

'lastname' => $customer->lastname,

'firstname' => $customer->firstname,

 

));

 

return $this->smarty->fetch($this->getTemplate('delivery-slip'));

}

 

 

And in WWW/PDF/delivery-slip;php

 

<!-- / ADDRESSES -->

 

<table>

<tr><td style="line-height: 8px"> </td></tr>

</table>

<table style="width: 100%">

        <tr>

            <td style="width: 100%"><span>{l s='Dear ' pdf='true'}<b></span>{$firstname}

                {$lastname}<span>,</span>   

                             <br /><br />

                             

 

<span>Our welcome letter explained...

 

Well, on my side, perfect!

[PascalVG]

See that you don't use the {$customer}, so you could leave this one out in the smarty->assign.

Alternatively, I think you can ONLY define $customer, and then in the template file use {$customer->firstname} etc.

 

Furthermore, good work!

Happy selling,

Pascal
