Product attribute for simple product

Hello Winston,
That’s quite an extensive post indeed ??
No worries, I’ll do my best to answer your questions one by one!

1) TM Extra Product Options
As far as I know all issues with this plugin are currently resolved and the script should no longer be necessary if you’re using the latest version. These are not actually attributes but custom data from that plugin so any issues there should be addressed to the TM EPO developers. Naturally, if you have any questions regarding specific implementation in the PDF invoices I’ll do my best to help. When contacting TM EPO support I recommend comparing the PDF output with the data in the email sent to the customer. This should largely be the same, and in previous TM EPO releases it turned out that when the data disappeared from the email it also disappeared from the PDF.
2) Invoice number assignment
Once an invoice number is assigned it will not be removed if you change the settings. If you need more information about this, check Invoice numbers explained
3) Using HTML & CSS in settings
I am not aware of any limitations, but when linking to images, you should check that remote images are allowed on your server in the Status tab of the settings (note that a URL is always considered remote), or use absolute server paths instead. Documentation here

Hope that helps!

Ciao Ewout,
thank you for your reply. I apologize but I didn’t understand all your suggestions.

1) I removed the code from my function.php and everything remain as before, so you were right.
Anyway, I don’t understand a what you are referring to when you talk about TM Extra Product Options. I checked the list of my plugins and I didn’t find it. I don’t know if this plugin is already included in some other ones. Searching on the web I find this one (https://codecanyon.net/item/woocommerce-extra-product-options/7908619) but I never bought it and I don’t know if I had to. Could you please be more specific this plugin?

In the meantime I attach below new images trying to explain better the problem.
This is how products appear on the invoice:

I need that all the products show the material attribute on the invoices

Here’s the detail about the first product that doesn’t show the material attributes

And here’s the second one (the attribute is shown on the invoice):

2) I already read that post but I didn’t find the answer to my question: how generate invoices only when order is paid? Invoice number should increase only when the order is complete.

3) I will try as you suggested after solved the first problem.

Thanks in advance,

Hey Ewout,

Any news?

If there any paid support service I will be happy to consider it.

Thanks again for your time

Hello Winston,

1) You’re right, this code is specifically for the TM Extra Product Options plugin. If you’re not using that plugin the code won’t do anything. I didn’t mean to suggest that’s a plugin you should use, it’s just because you brought up this snippet that I assumed you used the plugin already.
The reason the material attribute does not appear on the invoice is because it’s not used for variations – WooCommerce only saves attributes in the order when they are used for variations. This means that if you need to read attributes directly from the product this requires extra code. This is covered in the documentation here: Displaying Product attributes
With the Premium Templates extension you can add a new column with the drag & drop customizer and assign a specific attribute to it as well.
2) Invoice numbers are generated when an email with a PDF Invoice is sent or when you create the PDF manually. This is described under the heading “When is the PDF invoice number assigned?“. If you don’t want to send the invoice by email but still need to generate the number automatically upon completing the order, you need an additional script:

add_action('woocommerce_order_status_completed', 'wpo_wcpdf_create_invoice_number');
function wpo_wcpdf_create_invoice_number ( $order_id ) {
	$order = wc_get_order( $order_id );
	$invoice = wcpdf_get_document( 'invoice', $order, true );
}

(if you haven’t worked with code snippets like this before, read: How to use filters)

We don’t have paid support for the free plugin, but if you purchase any of our premium extensions that does come with priority support ??

Hope that helps!

Hey Ewout,

I decided to purchase the “WooCommerce PDF Invoices and Packing Slips Bundle”. At the moment I’m using only “WooCommerce PDF Invoices & Packing Slips Premium Templates”. I thought this is the easiest way to customize the invoice, maintain this features over the time and to say thank you for the free plugin and support.

Now, adding an attribute block also single products show the attribute I need to display in the invoices (material / materiale).

For variable products the attribute block shows all of the possible attributes. This is a problem because I need that only the attribute that the client chooses have to be displayed on the invoice. Could you help me on this?

Thanks,

P.S.: thanks to your help, I solved also the second and third issues as described in the previous post.
