Is it possible to modify bambooinvoice to be able to not attach the pdf file, but instead, use a default email body with a link to the invoice as a pdf (after clicking generate pdf, or having it “click” generate pdf for you)???

I’m sorry, that isn’t currently a feature of Bamboo.

Thank-you Derek for responding quickly.

I understand completely that it’s not currently a feature.  I’m a computer programmer by day, but I don’t have much practice with php, so I’m still muddling my way around in it.

It seems like it would be fairly simple to modify the php file that sends the email to not include the message.  And then modify the file that displays the “Message:” box for entering the message body after you click Email Invoice to include some default text.

I was just hoping someone could point me in the right direction on how to do that.

Certainly. Bamboo is built on the PHP framework CodeIgniter, an MVC, open source, well documented tool. I’d start by reading through the CI user guide to get a sense of things, and you should see how Bamboo fits in pretty easily.

All the best!

I will definitely take a look at that.  It might help me solve the other problem I was having of trying to get the Payment History to show on the PDF.

Thanks!!
