hello,

documentation doesn't say "[NUM]-[MM].[DD].[YYYY]", but "[num]-[mm].[dd].[yyyy]"

you're using uppercase and it needs to be lowercase.

the ""{Y}-1"" is for an invoice previously created. new invoices will not have this format.

[num]-[mm].[dd].[yyyy]

I have just tried this in the invoice but it still shows the values as "[num]-[mm].[dd].[yyyy]" and does not generate the number, month, day, or year. I have also changed this in the global settings. I am not sure if I am updating this correctly. Will the invoice automatically reflect these changes or do I have to somehow "refresh" an invoice?

I am getting worried about this because it seems that when I make changes that they are not reflected correctly. For example, with the update tables issues we had a few days back - I had done everything listed here and even received a success message but then we learned that it did not go though correctly. http://www.joomlathat.com/documentation/invoice-manager/upgrading-from-1-1-0-to-1-2-0

the ""{Y}-1"" is for an invoice previously created. new invoices will not have this format.

This value is listed in the global settings, What value should be in there now? I am looking for this value to auto update such that I do not have to keep updating the invoice number. When I create the second invoice, I want this number to appear as "2" and when I create the third invoice, I want it to display as "3".

Is this possible?

hello,

I think you're confused in one thing... the "[num]-[mm].[dd].[yyyy]" is ONLY for the flobal configuration, for the "invoice number format", it doesn't have to go nowhere else...! the "fiscal number" is just your business number..! do you know what I mean?
please take a look at the picture on point 3 here: http://www.joomlathat.com/documentation/invoice-manager/getting-started

it's for "Invoice number format".
I think you missunderstood what this was for and you placed it in the wrong pace.

the first image you send, invoice number {Y}-1 is just an invoice with the number created wrongly, because you haven't filled the Invoice number format on global configuration correctly.. this configuration is used for when you create NEW invoices, to "guess" the new invoice number. do you know what I mean?

the "[num]-[mm].[dd].[yyyy]" is ONLY for the flobal configuration, for the "invoice number format",

I have now placed this into the invoice number format.

{Y}-1 is just an invoice with the number created wrongly, because you haven't filled the Invoice number format on global configuration correctly

Now that I have placed the invoice number format into the correct place, is this supposed to work correctly now? I still do not see it updating the invoice number. I still see "{Y}-1}" as the invoice number.

yes, it's suposed to work correctly FOR NEW INVOICES.

just create a new invoice, and look at the invoice number that the system will have created for you...

again, NEW invoices, not old ones...the invoice you're talking about, the one that shows "{Y}-1", is old, you created it when the system was not configurated correctly! so, just forget about this one, simply write the number manually for it.

just create a new invoice, and look at the invoice number that the system will have created for you...

Thanks! That looks like it works.

Another question- in the template for the invoice, I can see that there is a {payment link} but that link does not show up when a mail is sent. Is there a way that we can have this show up on the email that is being sent so a user can just log in to pay their bill?

Thank you!

hmm.. it should show up if you have added it to the invoice template (in the Pending Payments area).. have you?

if you have added it to the invoice template

I did not add it- It was already there when I looked. The code is as follows:

"

Pay now

"

The person that I sent the invoice to does not see a link to click on her mail to pay her invoice. She has forwarded the mail to me as well and I can see that there is a blank space where there should be the pay now link. Can you please look into this?

Thank you!

oh!
I actually see you have installed version 1.2.0... this issue was solved in 1.2.1... sorry, all the time I thought you were working on 1.2.1...!

you must install 1.2.1...

I have just installed the new version. Is there a way to be notified when a new version is available? Do I need to do the database upgrade like before?

Also, I have noticed that when I create a new invoice, the create invoice page seems to overlap with other items- can this be corrected?

Thank you!

yes, please execute the database upgrade like last time.
we do publish a NEW every time we have a new version but this one was released just after the 1.2.0 (was just to fix a few bugs) and we forgot to make the announcement.. sorry about that...

hmm... I can see the items overlaping. this can happen if the browser window is a bit narrow (also I'm observing some fields should be smaller in the left part)

if you can send me FTP access I'll be glad to arrange this a little bit so it looks better

When you make the announcement, do you send a mail to all of the users letting them know about this? How are people alerted to a software upgrade?

I will work on getting you FTP access. I will send this to you in a mail since this is sensitive information. I hope to have this done before end of day today.

the only way to have this look good in a small screen is to split it in two tabs, otherwise all content does not fit.. that's what I've done.

Sorry for the long delay in replay and thank you very much for making this change. It makes the interface MUCH easier to read and to fill out. Is there some way to remove columns in the "invoices" view? I continually keep seeing the information move all the way off to the right of the screen. I don't need to see all of the columns all the time. Is there a way that we can allow the user to remove/ not show some of them?

Also, for updates, how will subscribers be informed when a new version of the software is out?

Again, thank you very much for your help.

but for now, the really easiest way is definitely to follow us on Twitter..!

Sure I will do that!

Since you have made changes to the software, will these changes be reflected in any new releases? Or will I have to contact you to make changes every time there is an update?

Thank you!
