// vtiger 5.0.4 The main body of the invoice. This is the file specified in modules/Invoice/CreatePDF.php You can copy and rename body.php to like body-rev1.php, and edit it as you please, call it out in CreatePDF.php and tweak from there.
General layout editing
body.php:
- The x,y,width is specified for the bubble size and position
- The numbers can be aligned by deleting spaces in the output lines
- Since CreatePDF.php controls the output for header.php, footer.php and
body.php, move pieces from footer to body if you like, align them and play with the alignment.
- Check for commented out items regarding sales tax in CreatePDF.php and body.php
- I added comments from the invoice to the pdf invoice by adding it in CreatePDF and body.php – used mysql to verify the field names were right and it showed up right the first time.
Changing the formating
Text alignment
FILE:
Alignment is controlled by values in an array named “$colsAlign”. For exemple, to center the values in column ‘Total’, change
$colsAlign[“Total”] = “R”;
to
$colsAlign[“Total”] = “C”;
Set font and size
FILE: vtiger/include/fpdf/pdf.php
Change the line:
$this->SetFont( "Helvetica", "", 8);
To whatever you want. There is line for each element in the invoice/quote. One for the table, one for address etc. With the exception of a bubble block which as the names suggests is the block with rounded courners.
Change alignment of company logo
FILE: modules/Invoice/pdf_templates/header.php
To change the alignment of the company logo you need to to go to and change the figures in line 17:
// ************** Begin company information *****************
$imageBlock=array("22","6","0","0");
Radius of box curves
FILE: vtigercrm/include/fpdf/pdf.php
Replace ALL values 2.5 and all values 4.5 with a new number greater than 0 i.e. 1.0
$this->RoundedRect($r1-16, $y1-1, 52, $y2+1, 2.5, 'DF');
Changing the structure
Stop the last page from printing
FILE: vtigercrm/modules/quote/CreatePDF.php
Change the following:
// would you like and end page? 1 for yes 0 for no $endpage="1";
Change to $endpage=”0″; and this will stop the final page from printing.
Vertical lines
FILE: vtigercrm/include/fdpdf/pdf.php
FILE: vtigercrm/include/fdpdf/templates/body.php
The lines and columns may be changed in the /include/fpdf/templates/body.php file.
Ans:The lines between 39 and 59 are for the columns width. The lines from 90 change the contents and the form of the total block To modify the vertical lines have a look at the ./include/fpdf/pdf.php file (from line 328).
Change the products per page
FILE: /include/fpdf/pdfconfig.php
Change the $products_per_page=”6″ variable to whatever you want. This will change it in quotes and invoices. You may also need to change the $bottom variable to inlarge the table.
Change the size of the main table
FILE: /include/fpdf/pdfconfig.php
Change the $bottom variable
Stop an Item from printing
Basic php use // to stop a single line of code from running, if you need to stop a whole segment put a */ before and a /* after.
For example to stop the contact name from printing you would change:
// Contact Name block
$conBlock=array("79","65");
$pdf->addRecBlock($contact_name, "Contact Name",$conBlock);
to:
// Contact Name block
//$conBlock=array("79","65");
//$pdf->addRecBlock($contact_name, "Contact Name",$conBlock);
This way do not have to delete as you may change your mind.
Add in product comments
FILE: vtigercrm/modules/quotes/CreatePDF.php
On line 153 you want to replace this:
$product_name[$i] = $associated_products[$i]['productName'.$i]
with this:
$product_name[$i] = $associated_products[$i]['productName'.$i]."\n-".$associated_products[$i]['comment'.$i];
Custom Fields in PDF
You must change your createpdf.php
Just after populating datas you can add this kind of code. It has been made in order to select customized fields cf_531, cf_545, cf_501 and include them in invoices
Code:
$add_query = "select vtiger_accountscf.* from vtiger_invoice, vtiger_accountscf
where vtiger_invoice.accountid=vtiger_accountscf.accountid AND invoiceid=".$id;
$result = $adb->query($add_query);
$num_rows = $adb->num_rows($result);
if ($num_rows == 1)
{
$reglement=$adb->query_result($result,0,"cf_531");
$mode=$adb->query_result($result,0,"cf_545");
$ntva=$adb->query_result($result,0,"cf_501");
}
Then you can modify your footer or header and include the value of the fields.
