Objet: ODT templates : some questions
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
[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.
