I just tried to customize my first quote and I tried to put some text in Settings > Company details > Default > Quote terms > Quote footer:
<div><strong>$number</strong></div>
<div><strong>$quote.number</strong></div>
The content above displayed just:
$number
$quote.number
… within the generated PDF.
Cannot recreate this. Are you saving a new template and then setting this template when you create the quote?
I modify my Quote footer via:
Settings > Company details > Default > Quote terms > Quote footer
Right after that I proceed with creating new quote, then I add just a few items and click Save. When I download the PDF, there are $number variables that are not converted into the real quote number, so the output OF THE QUOTE FOOTER looks like this:
Quote number: $number
… instead of looking like this:
Quote number: 12345
Righto, that would require us to do a double pass over the variables which we don’t currently support. ie Replacing a variable with a set of other variables.
Yeah, within the footer of all my quotes there should be a box with the Payment data, e.g.:
Bank account: 123456789 <--- just a regular text
Reference: $number <--- Quote number (must be a variable, obviously)
Without this, it’s difficult to use InvoiceNinja if we can’t tell the customers how to pay for our Quotes via bank transfers. Unless there’s a workaround for this usecase?
You could hardcode the references in the template itself, for example in the footer tab.
I can confirm this workaround fixes the issue (at least as a temporary solution).
I just found out when using your workaround I have a double footer when converting Quotes to Invoices:
There’s still the Quote footer followed by the Invoice footer right below.
Would be more appropriate to ignore the Quote footer content (on Invoices) automatically during such conversion, no?
I think you may be able to use $entity.footer
this will give you the entity specific footer, i haven’t tested it, but it should work.
When I open it in Mobile View, I don’t see any of the Body/Header/Footer tabs when trying to edit the “Footer tab” as per your suggestion and the docs.
This is what I see:
But when I open it in Desktop View, the tabs are displayed as expected.
This looks like a bug, we’ll make sure it’s corrected.
