Objective of the blog
After reading this blog we will be able to generate the invoice PDF by customer name.
Problem Statement
Currently, the invoice is generated using the date on which invoice is first created. So, we can replace the date to the customer’s name before generating the invoice.
Requirement
We need to modify the below files to fix the same. We will be overriding the corresponding function and definition of class file to avoid any changes in Core files.
Below are the list of class files which will be overrided-
root/classes/pdf/HTMLTemplateInvoice.php
Procedure to Solve the issue-
1. Create file HTMLTemplateInvoice.php file on path override\classes\pdf and put below code in it. This will save generate the filename of the invoice.
<?php
/**
* @override HTMLTemplateInvoice.php
*/
class HTMLTemplateInvoice extends HTMLTemplateInvoiceCore
{
/**
* Returns the template filename
*
* @return string filename
*/
public function getFilename()
{
$id_lang = Context::getContext()->language->id;
$id_shop = (int)$this->order->id_shop;
$format = '%1$s%2$06d';
if (Configuration::get('PS_INVOICE_USE_YEAR')) {
$format = Configuration::get('PS_INVOICE_YEAR_POS') ? '%1$s%3$s-%2$06d' : '%1$s%2$06d-%3$s';
}
/* changes started
* to add the customer name
*/
$customer = new Customer((int)$this->order->id_customer);
return sprintf(
$format,
Configuration::get('PS_INVOICE_PREFIX', $id_lang, null, $id_shop),
$this->order_invoice->number,
date('Y', strtotime($this->order_invoice->date_add))
).’_’.$customer->firstname.'_'.$customer->lastname.'.pdf';
/* changes end*/
}
}
2. After creating the php file in the override folder. Clear the cache from the Back-office-> Advance Parameter -> Performance.
3. Now, generate the invoice by navigating to the Back-office-> Orders.
