Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. So what you are wanting is another PDF invoice accessible from the admin? For instance a “Picking List (PDF)” next to the “Invoice (PDF)”? I needed the same type of thing for my business. Here is the changes that I made.
Steps to adding a new PDF InvoiceTo add a whole new PDF invoice requires many steps. I have written out the steps for you below.
I am not an expert, so some of these steps may not be necessary however you might want to do them all to make sure it works.
Step #1You will have to edit PdfService.cs
This can be found under
Libraries - > Nop.Services - > Common - > PdfService.cs
You need to copy the code for the PDF Invoice Starting at /// <summary>
/// Print an order to PDF
/// </summary>
/// <param name="orders">Orders</param>
/// <param name="lang">Language</param>
/// <param name="filePath">File path</param>
....
and ending before:/// <summary>
/// Print packaging slips to PDF
/// </summary>
/// <param name="orders">Orders</param>
/// <param name="filePath">File path</param>
This chunk of code is what generates the PDF. Past the code that you copied right before the /// <summary>
/// Print packaging slips to PDF
/// </summary>
/// <param name="orders">Orders</param>
/// <param name="filePath">File path</param>
At the beginning of the code that you just copied you should see:/// <summary>
/// Print an order to PDF
/// </summary>
/// <param name="orders">Orders</param>
/// <param name="lang">Language</param>
/// <param name="filePath">File path</param>
public virtual void PrintOrdersToPdf(IList<Order> orders, Language lang, string filePath)
{
if (orders == null)
....
You will need to make the following changes:/// <summary>
/// Picking List to PDF
/// </summary>
/// <param name="orders">Orders</param>
/// <param name="lang">Language</param>
/// <param name="filePath">File path</param>
public virtual void PickingListToPdf(IList<Order> orders, Language lang, string filePath)
{
if (orders == null)
...
Step #2You will have to edit IPdfService.cs
This can be found under
Libraries - > Nop.Services - > Common - > IPdfService.cs
Near the top of this file you will see the following code:/// <summary>
/// Print an order to PDF
/// </summary>
/// <param name="orders">Orders</param>
/// <param name="lang">Language</param>
/// <param name="filePath">File path</param>
void PrintOrdersToPdf(IList<Order> orders, Language lang, string filePath);
Add this code right below the code that I have shown above:/// <summary>
/// Picking List to PDF
/// </summary>
/// <param name="orders">Orders</param>
/// <param name="lang">Language</param>
/// <param name="filePath">File path</param>
void PickingListToPdf(IList<Order> orders, Language lang, string filePath);
Step #3You will have to edit OrderController.cs
This can be found under
Presentation - > Nop.Web- > Controllers - > OrderController.cs
Under the #region Utilities details scroll down till you find the following code:model.DisplayPdfInvoice = _pdfSettings.Enabled;
Right below this code add the following code:model.DisplayPickingListInvoice = _pdfSettings.Enabled;
Also, under the #region Order details scroll down till you find the following code:public ActionResult GetPdfInvoice(int orderId)
{
var order = _orderService.GetOrderById(orderId);
if (order == null || order.Deleted || _workContext.CurrentCustomer.Id != order.CustomerId)
return new HttpUnauthorizedResult();
var orders = new List<Order>();
orders.Add(order);
string fileName = string.Format("order_{0}_{1}.pdf", order.OrderGuid, DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss")); string filePath = string.Format("{0}content\\files\\ExportImport\\{1}",this.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath, fileName);
_pdfService.PrintOrdersToPdf(orders, _workContext.WorkingLanguage, filePath);
var pdfBytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filePath);
return File(pdfBytes, "application/pdf", fileName);
}
Right below this code add the following code:public ActionResult GetPickingListInvoice(int orderId)
{
var order = _orderService.GetOrderById(orderId);
if (order == null || order.Deleted || _workContext.CurrentCustomer.Id != order.CustomerId)
return new HttpUnauthorizedResult();
var orders = new List<Order>();
orders.Add(order);
string fileName = string.Format("order_{0}_{1}.pdf", order.OrderGuid, DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss"));
string filePath = string.Format("{0}content\\files\\ExportImport\\{1}", this.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath, fileName);
_pdfService.PickingListToPdf(orders, _workContext.WorkingLanguage, filePath);
var pdfBytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filePath);
return File(pdfBytes, "application/pdf", fileName);
}
Note: The code that I have copied into the forum will need to look a little different in Visual Studio because the copied code does not have the right page breaks. Throughout these steps look at the code for the “Invoice (PDF)” and make sure the code that you put below it is formatted the same way.
Step #4You will have to edit OrderController.cs
This can be found under
Presentation - > Nop.Web- > Administration - > Controllers - > OrderController.cs
Note: This looks like the same file as in step #3 but it is in a different place so make sure you edit this file as well.
Under #region Utilities scroll down till you find the following code:
model.DisplayPdfInvoice = _pdfSettings.Enabled;
Right below this code add the following code:model.DisplayPickingListInvoice = _pdfSettings.Enabled;
Also, under the #region Order details scroll down till you find the following code: public ActionResult PdfInvoice(int orderId)
{
if (!_permissionService.Authorize(StandardPermissionProvider.ManageOrders))
return AccessDeniedView();
var order = _orderService.GetOrderById(orderId);
var orders = new List<Order>();
orders.Add(order);
string fileName = string.Format("order_{0}_{1}.pdf", order.OrderGuid, DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss"));
string filePath = string.Format("{0}content\\files\\ExportImport\\{1}", this.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath, fileName);
_pdfService.PrintOrdersToPdf(orders, _workContext.WorkingLanguage, filePath);
var bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filePath);
return File(bytes, "application/pdf", fileName);
}
Right below this code add the following code:public ActionResult PickingListInvoice(int orderId)
{
if (!_permissionService.Authorize(StandardPermissionProvider.ManageOrders))
return AccessDeniedView();
var order = _orderService.GetOrderById(orderId);
var orders = new List<Order>();
orders.Add(order);
string fileName = string.Format("order_{0}_{1}.pdf", order.OrderGuid, DateTime.Now.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd-HH-mm-ss"));
string filePath = string.Format("{0}content\\files\\ExportImport\\{1}", this.Request.PhysicalApplicationPath, fileName);
_pdfService.PickingListToPdf(orders, _workContext.WorkingLanguage, filePath);
var bytes = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(filePath);
return File(bytes, "application/pdf", fileName);
}
Step #5You will have to edit defaultResources.public.nopres.xml
This can be found under
Presentation - > Nop.Web- > Administration - > App_Data - > defaultResources.public.nopres.xml
Scroll down till you find the following code:<LocaleResource Name="GetPDFInvoice">
<Value>PDF Invoice</Value>
</LocaleResource>
Right below this add the following code:<LocaleResource Name="GetPickingListInvoice">
<Value>Picking List Invoice</Value>
</LocaleResource>
Step #6You will have to edit RouteProvider.cs
This can be found under
Presentation - > Nop.Web- > Infrastructure -> RouteProvider.cs
Scroll down till you find the following code:routes.MapLocalizedRoute("GetOrderPdfInvoice",
"orderdetails/pdf/{orderId}",
new { controller = "Order", action = "GetPdfInvoice" },
new[] { "Nop.Web.Controllers" });
Right below this code add the following code:routes.MapLocalizedRoute("GetOrderPickingListInvoice",
"orderdetails/pdf/{orderId}",
new { controller = "Order", action = "GetPickingListInvoice" },
new[] { "Nop.Web.Controllers" });
Step #7You will have to edit OrderDetailsModel.cs
This can be found under
Presentation - > Nop.Web- > Models -> Order -> OrderDetailsModel.cs
Scroll down till you find the following code:public bool DisplayPdfInvoice { get; set; }
Right below this code add the following codepublic bool DisplayPickingListInvoice { get; set; }
Step #8You will have to edit OrderModel.cs
This can be found under
Presentation - > Nop.Web- > Administration - > Models -> Order -> OrderModel.cs
Scroll down till you find the following code:public bool DisplayPdfInvoice { get; set; }
Right below this code add the following code:public bool DisplayPickingListInvoice { get; set; }
Step #9You will have to edit Edit.cshtml
This can be found under
Presentation - > Nop.Web- > Administration - > Views -> Order -> Edit.cshtml
Near the top you should find the following code:@if (Model.DisplayPdfInvoice)
{
<a href="@Url.Action("PdfInvoice", new { orderId = Model.Id })" class="t-button">@T("Admin.Orders.PdfInvoice")</a>
}
Right below this code add the following code:@if (Model.DisplayPickingListInvoice)
{
<a href="@Url.Action("PickingListInvoice", new { orderId = Model.Id })" class="t-button">@T("Picking List (PDF)")</a>
}
Step #10Run Nopcommerce go to
Sales - > Orders
View an order and see if there is a “Picking List (PDF)” next to “Invoice (PDF)”
If it works, all you have left to do is go back to PdfService.cs in Step #1 and edit the code that you copied in to make the “Picking List (PDF)” show what you want it to.
I hope that I have not made an error when typing this up. Let me know if you get it to work!
