BambooInvoice Forums

Thanks for the kind words. You have some control (it isn’t a perfect 1:1) by altering bamboo_system_files/application/views/pdf.php, but please carefully document what you change, as you’ll need to re-change them when you update Bamboo versions.

I would love to be able to template the invoice layout, and not have to edit the file every release.

Realising that there are only 24 hours in a day, have you thought about using smarty for templating ? - this works great for my blog that is driven using PHP.

Keep up the great work…Steve

Hi,

I would also see a templating system. Also to give customers different invoice templates to choose from.
This would also need some extra information to fill (Project ID (German: Auftragsnummer), maybe some more
“Internal Reference” for the Customer.

I just installed Bamboo yesterday (realized it is already end of the month and I needed to sent out invoices) and
was amazed how easy it is to get started and adjust the PDF Layout. Neverless I was thinking about the upgrade
procedure, which will be hard now that I modifed a view PHPs.

Derek: Is there an internal roadmap? Maybe there are a few more out there who would like to help implementing a
templating system. :)

Keep up the great work!
