Change Layout On Invoice Printout

Store Builder Questions
1

I have added a few tables and done some editing on invoice.tpl under mails/templates/orders/ so that customers making a new order gets that new template. But if i try and print out a order from backend it shows the old template.



Where must i apply the same changes so the backend template is the same as the new and edited customer invoice template?



I have the newest version of cs cart

hi Aron,



CS-Cart is tricky about it so if you modify invoice, you should do it in 2 folders:

  • design/themes/[THEME]/mail/templates/orders where [THEME] is “responsive” or “basic” (meaning CS-Cart theme of your store);
  • design/backend/mail/templates/orders



    The invoice templates by default are identical in these 2 folders so if you modify template file in one folder, you may simply copy it to the other.

    p.s. it is advised to make a backup copy of old invoice templates.

    Is there not any invoice editors our there that you can change the layout with instead of going directly in the code and make changes? I tried Ecom Labs invoice editor but it does looks like this only affect the one i am actually editing.

I updated the invoice.tpl on design/backend/mail/templates/orders but it did not affect anything when i tried to print out a pdf file for a order. Any ideas?

Hi,

I still have the problem when i print out a pdf from backend. The text will not update itself, even tho i have updated invoice.tpl under

[quote]/design/themes/responsive/mail/templates/orders[/quote] and

[quote]/design/backend/mail/templates/orders[/quote]



Also when a customer logs in and wants to print out the order/pdf it has the old text etc… Its not update. Any idea what i am doing wrong here? Cache etc is cleared.

hi,



please try to remove the cache folder manually. For CS-Cart 4.x:

  • var/cache



    if it does not help, please provide ftp access via Personal Messanger.

Big thanks to Damir. The issue was a third party module “easy invoice managment” that blocked my changes to the invoice template.

After deactiving the module it showed the invoice template like i want it to :grin:
