I just installed the upgrade - love what I see so far.

Would it be possible to change the default size of the note box on the tab on the back end? We type quite a bit in there - and there is plenty of room to resize bigger - but can that be changed to always open bigger? And, what are the chances that box could handle HTML formatting?

THANKS!!!

    to make it bigger, you need to edit the HTML code and set its width to "100%"..

    to alow HTML formatting, that's a bit more complicated, this requires coding actually.

      I found the /administrator/components/com_invoices/views/invoice/tmpl/form_notes.php, changed width to 100% - testing this in all places that I think would work, no changes. The only change I can do and see results is to change cols="40" rows="4" - but that too has a limit on how wide you can make the window. What am I missing?

    Hi Germinal,
    Can you tell me where the HTML code is that I need to edit? I think I could change that but to code for HTML formatting, I would not try that. Would you consider adding that to your next upgrade? And maybe it would not be HTML coding but simply retaining the format that one puts there notes in... for example, I might add the following:

    Your estimate is based on 45 white t-shirts with a 3 color front, names, numbers.
    Front Imprint: Team Name
    Imprint Colors: Yellow, Red, Black
    Back Imprint: Name, Number
    Imprint Color: Black
    Name location: Bottom of shirt.

    When I save it, it retains that formatting on the backend however when you view the output as the customer would through online, pdf, email etc, it looks like this:
    Your estimate is based on 45 white t-shirts with a 3 color front, names, numbers. Front Imprint: Team Name Imprint Colors: Yellow, Red, Black Back Imprint: Name, Number Imprint Color: Black Name location: Bottom of shirt.

    It loses that formatting and is harder for the customer to understand.

    Does this make sense?

    Thanks!

      yes it makes sense. we'll add it to the next upgrade.
      the code where the notes box is shown is /administrator/components/com_invoices/views/invoice/tmpl/form_notes.php
