Hi there,
I’ve managed to add GST to my invoice template, but I need a couple of other minor edits that I can’t seem to get right.
1) I’d like to remove the start date ( ‘start_date’ ) and the ‘ >> ‘ from the Event & Attendee box on the invoice, which I’ve narrowed down to this section:
pdftext($tmp_attendee[“event_name”] . “[” . date(‘m-d-Y’, strtotime($tmp_attendee[‘start_date’])) . “]”) . ‘ >> ‘
. pdftext(html_entity_decode($tmp_attendee[“fname”], ENT_QUOTES, “UTF-8″) . ” ” . html_entity_decode($tmp_attendee[“lname”], ENT_QUOTES, “UTF-8”)) . ‘;’
i.e. so in the pdf invoice box labelled “Event & Attendee” I just want the event name & attendee name to show up (without the date)
I’ve managed to get rid of the “>>” by just deleting the >> leaving a space, but I can’t seem to get rid of the start date (any deletions I tried just resulted the invoice not downloading – I assume it’s crashed due to an error in the code caused by my inaccurate deletion/s?)
If I do the same thing as the ‘>>’ and just delete the words ‘start date’, to leave ‘ ‘ it comes up with a date from 1970!
Any suggestions on how to remove the start date welcome.
2) I need to have the “date paid” show up somewhere on the invoice
Preferably below the billing address, but above the “Event & Attendee” box.
I can see in template.php that this info is available from the database, but I can’t see where/how to get it to show up on the invoice.
These 2 changes will save me switching over to Cvent, who have quoted me $5000 to start up a new booking system with them, who’s only additional feature that I could need is automatic payment of refunds, which I can actually live without.
But i can’t live without an invoice that shows date paid.
Using EE 3.1.37.1.P

Hi Andy,
We can get to work on this today. If it ends up taking more than 30 minutes we will let you know.

Hi Andy,
Your requested changes were added to wp-content/plugins/event-espresso/gateways/invoice/template.php. There’s no need to make any modifications to the core plugin, they’ll only get overwritten on a software update anyway.

Thanks Josh
Thanks for the prompt reply and changes as requested – date paid now present in right position on invoice
Only problem – now the GST (that was showing up) is not showing up on invoices (even though the code is still there for it).
Do you know how I can get it to show up?
I was using this code:
$price_before_gst = $total_cost * .909090909;
$gst_total = $total_cost – $price_before_gst;
$pdf->Cell(180, 10, pdftext(‘*The total includes $’ . number_format($gst_total,2, ‘.’, ”) . ‘ GST’), 0, 1, ‘R’); // GST amount
From:
https://www.snip2code.com/Snippet/111622/Break-out-the-GST-total-for-an-Event-Esp
This gave a line on the invoice under “Total Due” that says:
*The total includes $215 GST (or whatever the correct amount is for that total)
Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy,
My apologies, I missed copying the GST code over to the new template. It’s there now.
There’s one other little detail that I added to the date paid code: It’s wrapped in a conditional that checks if there’s a date paid value. This way, if they hadn’t actually paid yet and get a copy of this tax invoice, no date paid text will display. It only displays if there’s a date paid set for that transaction.
