OK, thanks for your answer. That seemed like good news and bad news altogether. Indeed, I had to re-setup my template and that cost me some hours extra work. The bonus however, I did not reach. Could you please help me with the following example, that would be really great.

I have in the CRM now a field called “VAT”. I try to echo the value in this field on the PDF. In the user-meta table, the key is “vat”.

So, I supposed

<?php echo get_user_meta(“150”, “vat”, true); ?>

… would make my day, hardcoding a user-id just for testing purpose. That seemed to work fine.

But now for the real bonus: which is the variable I use for getting the user-id?

Furthermore, is there a sheet available with all the variables that I can use in a PDF-template? That would be really useful to avoid further questions like this. However, getting the user-id from the customer would of course help a lot.

Hope to hear from you soon. Thanks in advance.

Hi there –

Good, I will re-open this issue, because we recently had problems with the workaround we implemented three months ago. Eventually we decided to use the field “Phone Number” in the invoice, which we didn’t use, for the VAT-number, changing te call “Phone” to “VAT” in the PDF-template. Worked fine, however, with the last update it appears that all non-numeric fields are cleaned. So we lost our VAT number. Obviously a new validation? Anyway, this goes for a LOT of clients, and a VAT number on the Invoice is something really important for us (mandatory by law in Belgium where my client resides). So, in order to keep us as clients for your plugin, could you please help me with…

either an option to add a proper field from invoice to the PDF, and help implementing this…

or a rollback for the plugin so our workaround is.

Furthermore the tip: if you want more clients in Europe, i’d suggest you make a VAT field soon in your plugin, for here on this continent in most countries it’s very common to print it alongsite the addresslines – and in some countries it’s even mandatory.

Well I guess you could see that as a tip or request.

Hi Maria,

Thanks for your answer. It’s somewhat cryptic though. I found the ‘custom fields’ in the CRM for the invoice, but I can only use them in the html file. Is there a document that enlists the codes for address or explains how a call in the PDF is made?

Hi,

Added to my former mail there seems to be a problem with firefox: in this browser the update-button in the CRM does not seem to save the data. We have a workaround (use Chrome), but I’d like to know if this is a known error and if not, report it to you ;).

OK well thanks for not answering, I see the question has been running for a few years, so here’s my answer to help some others:

The data are all set in the tables wp_users and wp_usermeta, which makes “Import users from CSV with meta” the best plugin to use for this purpose.

That was fast, thanks. But alas, no succes here. Anyway, found another plugin that does the job just as well – my client is in a hurry, sorry. Wish you succes developing yours.

OK, thanks for your answer. Than I fear it might not just work for me right now. Too bad because the plugin is super-user-friendly. Do you have any idea when the feature can be delivered?
