Hi all,
Following a discussion initiated on the "Association" mailing list
speaking about an ODT template looking like the "old" crabe template,
I'm trying to setup that ODT crabe-like template. That could be a good
starting point for many of us to decline custom templates.
I'm facing different kinds of issues, some of them are not easy to solve
(for me) whenever they are.
* How to select some fields to appear in the generated invoice or
not depending on their valuation ?
For example, how not to print the reference to the commercial
proposal in the header, when none was produced, or the received
payments at the bottom of the invoice, when still none has been
emitted yet ?
==> Until now, I feel like it's not possible. :-\
* How to add the contact name in the customer's address (already
asked here
<http://www.dolibarr.fr/forum/12-howto--aide/30436-tags-pour-modele-de-facture-odt#30436>
[fr]).
==> I guess it is possible with "customised tags".
* How to position the summary after the invoice lines to a fixed line ?
==> I managed to sort it out using arrays, but I'm afraid it won't
work with a multipage invoice... Need some more testing.
* Where to find data for the payments already done ?
* Tags in the page bottom are not interpreted. This is where I put
juridical and administrative informations. This doesn't absolutely
need to be extracted from the dabase, i.e. it may be hard coded in
the ODT template with my current values, but that'd be so cool to
have it soft coded. :-)
* When I choose a *predifined* product/service, and its description
includes line feed and special characters (such as "°" or any 8bit
ASCII chars éàèœ...), then the description line in the ODT
generated file is unreadable, due to many <br />, ° and other
codes...
That'll be enough for today, thanks for reading. 8-)
Best regards,
Manuel PINTOR
