Hello,
is it possible to have a difference between email and pdf format.

If i want to send an invoice by email, i want to write a text like "hello, here is your invoice for xxx...". But i dont want this text on the pdf invoice, you see.

So if i write this text in the template for email, that text show to the pdf format too.

Regards,
Frédéric

    This question has been asked several times by customers, too bad this function still isn't available, not even in the latest version.

    I figured it out myself, let me explain what i did so that you don't have to spend any more money fot custom coding.....

    Open administrator/com_invoices/models/invoice.php with your favorite editor

    scroll to line 960 and add :

    $message = JText::_('BODY_FOR_EMAIL_WITH_PDF');

    just below:

    $styles = "" ;
    $message = $styles . $message ;

    now save this file to your server.

    Go to your joomla adminstration page and go to Exentions -> Language -> Overrides

    Create a new override for you language administrator site (not for your website, just administrator)

    The language constant should be BODY_FOR_EMAIL_WITH_PDF

    The Text should be the text you want to show up in your mail.

    Hit Save and close and try to send a pdf by mail, this should do the trick!

    Enjoy!

    Hello

    at this moment there's not such option in Invoice Manager, this would require a bit of custom coding work.
