Make a custom field display in the PDF plugin invoice was created by river

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.4
-- Joomla version -- : 3.6.4
-- PHP version -- : 7

This is my custom field settings.

I've downloaded the latest version of the PDF and Hikashop business package. Like described in this thread.
This thread

If I disable the attach invoice PDF plugin the custom field is displaying fine in the standard invoice. It also displays fine in the order creation email.

Any advice on how to get it to display in the PDF invoice ?

Hi,

The thread you're linking to is about the display of custom item fields on the PDF invoice.
The PDF invoice plugin doesn't support yet the display of custom product fields, which is what you want.
So it's normal that it doesn't work.
Supporting it is a bit tricky as the PDF system requires giving a width for each column and thus it can't be standardized. With the HTML invoice, the table adapts itself to the available area so it's not a problem.
We couldn't think yet of a generic way to properly generate invoices with custom product fields.
So for now, I can only recommend to customize the file plugins/hikashop/attachinvoice/attachinvoice/invoice.php if you want to display the custom product fields there.

OK that would work fine with me.

Could you please advice me what kind of code I need to implement in the invoice.php file in order to display my custom field ?

Tnx

Hi,

Something like that:

Code:

$class = hikashop_get("class.product");
$data = $class->get($product->product_id);
echo $data->XXX;

where XXX is the column name of the custom field.

Tnx it works great.

So I've added a text snippet in front of the code which says delivery

Code:

echo "Delivery: "; $class = hikashop_get("class.product");
$data = $class->get($product->product_id);
echo $data->deliverytime;

Not all my products use the above custom field.
So the problem now is that the text "Dilvery" is displaying in the pdf invoice even if the custom field is NOT filled out.

So I need to add an "If condition" so that the text "delivery" only displays when the custom field is filled out in the product and displayed in the invoice.

Any advice on how to write the if condition in the above code ?

tnx

Hi,

It's quite easy:

Code:

$class = hikashop_get("class.product");
$data = $class->get($product->product_id);
if(!empty($data->deliverytime)){
echo "Delivery: "; 
echo $data->deliverytime;
}
