Some pre-buy questions

0
Hi,

I have some pre-buy questions:
1. Is it possible to add a phone number to the contact section?
2. Is it possible to send a reminder to a costumer?
3. Is it possible to send the invoice as PDF?
4. Is it possible to send a list of working hours (without money on it) with the template function as seen in the attachement?

    hello!

    1. not included, but not difficult to add.
    2. there are no "reminders", just "normal" emails. I mean, what you can send on the email is the invoice itself.
    3. not currently, sorry. we are working to include this feature in a near future (because a couple users have asked for this as well, we understand it would be a very handy feature)
    4. you mean you want to have this as fields on the invoice? well, no then... the template is totally customizable, but if you want this on the invoice entries then you have to add it separately.. (like... "thursday: 4h, wednesday, 3h.." but in different lines)

    1. How can this be added?
    4. Would it be possible to add an hours table without any money on it. Only a table with mon tus wed etc?

    1. well, basically adding the field to the database and then to the form (I can tell you the exact code to add in what exact file)
    4. but would it be an "static" table? I mean, always the same? in this case you can simply add it into the TEMPLATE! (but it will be the same for all the invoices)
    otherwise, if it has to be different for each one, then the option is to add it in the "notes" section of the invoice, as it was a note.. but you actually put the table HTML code...

    The table is always the same, the value in the table (number of hours) changes. Is it possible to change this easily?

    ok, it's what I thought. well in this case you have to input the data in the invoice (not the template) so you will need to use a "free" field, such as NOTES, as I said before.

    basically you need to do 3 things:

    1) on the #__invoices_contacts database table, add a new field "phone"
    2) on the file /administrator/components/com_invoices/tables/contact.php add var phone = null ; where the other variables are declared.
    3) on /administrator/components/com_invoices/views/contact/tmpl/default.php you have to add the new INPUT field for phone. it has to be named "phone" and the value must be this:

    value="contact->company;?>"

    I am asuming with all this that you know a liiiiittle bit (just a little) of PHP! :)

    yes, of course, and it's very easy.
    all you need to do is to duplicate the file /language/en-GB/en-GB.com_invoices.ini into the Dutch language folder, and change the name to include the Dutch language code.

    then edit with a plain text editor and simply translate the senteces.

    hello!

    wow... :lol: you just discovered a little bug!!! I just found out that the Notes are not visible in the invoice form!!! that's my fault. I appologise for that!!

    I have just upgraded the package so the NOTES are shown in the invoice form. please download the package again and just install on top (it will upgrade)

    sorry for the inconvenience!

    Yes, if you want to share your translation file with our users that would be great! just go here: http://www.joomlafinances.com/downloads/upload
    and submit the .ini file
    or if you prefer, send the file to me at joomlafinances@gmail.com

    best,
    Germi

    yes, they will get overriden...
    just do this: unzip the package and copy/paste the file
    /admin/views/invoice/tmpl/form.php
    to this file:
    /administrator/components/com_invoices/views/invoice/tmpl/form.php

    no, what I mean is that if you download our package file, the ZIP file, and unzip it, you will find this file, which is the only one that you need to put in your live site.
