Problem solved!

Hello,


I wanted a print button to print the invoice. There were a number of conditions I wanted to meet. 1) The print button was not allowed to be printed. 2) no header and footer of the (html) page were allowed to be printed.

Below is the solution:

Place the following code in the invoice.php file (under line 89), or just before </head>:

<style type="text/css">
    @media print {
      .noPrint{
        display:none;
      }
}
     @page {
        margin-left: 0.5in;
        margin-right: 0.5in;
        margin-top: 0;
        margin-bottom: 0;
      }
</style>

Then insert on line 118, just before </table> the next line:

<div class"noPrint"><button onclick="window.print();" class="noPrint"><?php echo TEXT_INVOICE_PRINT_BUTTON; ?></button></div>

Save the file and open the file includes\languages\english\lang.meta_tags.php (or your language file) and add:

'TEXT_INVOICE_PRINT_BUTTON' => 'Print invoice',

There is now a button in the invoice that allows you to print the invoice directly.

HI, just tried installing this in 2.1.0. (bootstrap template) an a Ubuntu 24.04 VM PHP v8.3
I get a blank page when clicking on "My account".
No big deal, although I found this plug-in useful, I can live without it.
Not good enough a programmer to figure out why.

Blank page can ALWAYS be resolved quite easily. Follow the tips here and help us guide you on how to resolve it - it's usually a very simple file change needed that you may have missed or skipped.

Removing line 16 in tpl_account_default.php fixes it, but of course that stops it being responsive.

This actually makes perfect sense... You should NEVER simply overwrite the existing files, but should instead merge your files with the ones that are provided by any plugin. You can use WinMerge or BeyondCompare or any other software to highlight the differences if you can't spot them manually.

If you're using the Bootstrap template, line 16 is a closing php tag. My guess is you just added the file that comes with the plugin (which is based on responsive_classic template) and that file killed the page because it's just not compatible with the Bootstrap template.

I haven't tested it, but I believe your file (includes/templates/bootstrap/templates/tpl_account_default.php) should look something like this (new code highlighted in red):

Thanks again..
I didn't realise that the file would be overwritten, should have read the doc more carefully.
I used meld to compare files when upgrading from 1.5.7c after removing any add-ons, but then I decided to do a fresh installation of 2.1.0 in a VM and apply bootstrap before importing data, images and text to the pages I had changed, then apply add-ons one at a time, taking snapshots before each, to see if there were any problems.
I had not actually made many changes, and the only add-ons I wanted to add were invoice payment and catalog invoice. (I had installed edit orders and zx-slideshow but I deemed them no longer needed). These days I tend to avoid coding, as my ageing brain struggles with it.:)

[wyliecoyoteuk]

That change seems to work fine, should I make changes to the tpl_account_history_default.php file as well?
Comparing them in meld they look very different, although the overwritten one seems to work OK.
