Style payments inside custom invoice

Self-Hosted | v5
1

I am creating a custom invoice which requires me to list already made payments (payment type, payment date, payment amount). There will be multiple payments per invoice which I need to list.

In the invoice I can add the $payments variable which gives me only the following output:
Zahlungseingang: 4. March 2024 :: 200,00 € ::

First of all the the type of the payment is not reflected (payment type was bank transfer), then the date format is not the one I have selected in the settings (should be in german, not in englisch since my language is set to german):

And the next strange behavior is that there are :: symbols as separators, not sure where they are coming from:

Ideally I would like to loop over all payments and access each individual column of the payment like the type, date and amount to style it freely (or put it into a table).
I did not find any documentation how fully utilize the already made payments in my custom invoice. Since all payments are only made via bank transfer I could also write down the information in a static way, but ideally I could use the different fields from the payment.

Any help is highly appreciated!

Hi,

Which version of the app are you using? I believe the payment type will be included with the next release.

@david would it be possible to accomplish this with templates?

I’m still on 5.7.63 - but I plan to upgrade to the latest 5.10.5 version tomorrow.

Would be great to know if I should put additional effort into setting everything up or to see if I can make use of an workaround in the meanwhile.

BR,
Fabian

the templates docs references the fields available for each entity here:

For me the made payments are available via $payments but I’m not able to access parts of it like the method (which should be possible based on the documentation).

If I understand the documentation correct Payments contains also the method, amount and date - but I cannot access it to generate a custom entry.

I would like to archive something like (sorry for the german) this:
4. März 2024 in der Höhe von 200,00€ mit Überweisung

If I only output the $payments the generated output is completely strange and nothing I can put on the invoice for my customers:
Zahlungseingang: 4. March 2024 :: 200,00 € :: Überweisung

Since the only method can be Bank Transfer (Überweisung) the method is not that important but neither can I access .date or .amount directly (please take a look at the screenshot above).

I tried to iterate over the $payment with the following code but its only printing the loop:

{% for item in payments %}
      $item.date in der Höhe von $item.amount mit $item.method
{% endfor %}

Not sure if my thinking is wrong or if this simply cannot be archived?
Any input is highly appreciated.

I’m now also running on the latest InvoiceNinja release (5.10.4).

you should not use $ notation inside a twig template. those variables are available, but they are not twig variables.

to access the invoice payments.

invoice.payments
