Hello!

Yes, we have considered this, we will add this option in a future version

thanks!

I would like to add my input on this. It would be a great help to be able to have a custom email body where some of details of the invoice could be placed, and the invoice as an attached pdf. This would be much more professional in appearance especially in the case of recurring payments.

Thanks!

Hello Daniel,
Yes, we have added this to our roadmap for version 2.1, it will be added!

That is truly excellent news! Do you have any date for v2.1? With this feature it will be different league.

Cheers

we don't have a date yet, still working on it!

Great news!

May I add a new suggestion... As I was a ccInvoices user, I always missed the option mentioned above and a way to inform clients that they had missed the "Due date" for the invoice.

I'm guessing you are familiar with the ccinvoices extension, but if not, they added a new item "E-mails" where you could add your own text that would be displayed while sending the invoice (or quote). Also, a reminder text could be added so that once you've sent the invoice, another option became available to send a "Reminder E-mail" to inform the client of his tardiness.

This would really make a true addition to Invoice manager.

Hello both!

We have pushed the "separate email template" for version 2.2 which will be released next.
You will be able to set your own text. We don't have plans for this "reminder" option (you can simply "re-send" the email).. we will think about this!

thanks!!

Thank YOU!

I believe we are not the only one to appreciate this great feature.

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!

Thanks for sharing luckysoft. ccInvoices does the trick out of the box and also allows for a seperate reminder message to be sent. I do prefer IM, but this feature is something I miss a lot.

Yes i know, thanks for the link but ccInvoice doesn't support any webshop script so its useless if you want to use it in combination with a webshop.
