I have also emailed Artio but had no reply in over a week so is this a worthwhile investment?
Is anyone there please?

I used to use VM Invoice in all my stores but when there was a big delay in getting it ready for VM4 i have managed witrhout it. I now have a customer that wants big changes to the invoiving but we are using VirtueMart 4.2.4 10922 - can you tell me if the new VM Invoice 4 will work with the very latest VM vgersion please?

There is very little on the site about the new VM4 Invoice, does it look and work the same as VM3 version? what about doing a screen recording of what bthe new version looks like for us to see it please?

Hi.
No it doesnt look like that is an option in the new VM

To be honest since writing this i have setup my first VM4 template and the new invoicing system is 100% better than the old one, im pretty sure i wont bother with VM Invoice now that im starting to use it bare as it were. I like to keep my systems the same so looks like it is Artio's loss this time if they cant be bothered to update its users :-(

Such a shame we cant be updated maybe tell us it will be 1 week, 1 month - not happening ever?
Has anyone found an alternative to VM Invoice for VM4 ?

I sent a support ticket on 25th July asking about this, the reply was

the development of extension for Joomla 4 is still in progress.
We will inform you about the release.
Thank you for your understanding!


I am really desperate to find a solution so if anyone knows of one please update.

and another month goes by - any news at all? if it isnt happening then i need to look for an alternative as the original VM invoicing is pants, i really want to carrying on using Artio :-(

Thats great news thanks

VM4 has just been released, I use VM Invoice in all my VM shops so I'm really interested in how long this will be please?

Is the pre sales the only place anyone can get any help around here ?
There are dozens of unanswered questions on the forum - but if you havent paid you get a reply ?!!

As before no help on this forum and i see there are dozens of questions unanswered, im going to review this one on JED as great if it works but useless if you need a hand and going to try this component :

advanced-virtuemart-invoices.cmsmart.net...art-order-management

anyone else tried it ? It gets good reviews and i know they are a lot more helpful that Artio !!

I know the instructions are in the FAQ but i just cant follow them ? Can someone make it a bit clearer please ?

this just doesnt make any sense to me :

Disabling VirtueMart 2.0.22 and newer PDF Invoices

To prevent customer from getting also VM2 native invoices, you first need to create a dummy order status in VirtueMart -> Order Statuses called for example "No Invoice", and then assign it to the "Default Order Status to create an invoice" option in VirtueMart -> Configuration -> Checkout settings. That way the invoice PDF won't be created.

If you don't want your customers to receive any e-mails from VirtueMart at all, set your "No Invoice" status created in previuos step also to the "Default Order Status to send email to shopper" option in VirtueMart -> Configuration -> Checkout settings.

How do you create a dummy status ?
cheers

Ok thanks - not sure that post is related to my issue but perhaps i will post on there and see what happens.
cheers

Hi.
i am testing the store and on completion of the orders the shopper and shopkeeper are getting an email with the title : "error with paypal" and the contents of the email is just :

Error while posting IPN: Unable to find the socket transport "ssl" - did you forget to enable it when you configured PHP?, 396

Any idea where i have gone wrong please ? i am using the latest version and have compared setup to a fully working shop and all seems to be the same ?

89.200.137.238/tmshop/shop


thanks

I was tempted to use the Artio SEF but the support on here for this component has been useless so in the end i just removed it completely and set URL erros to go to the home page, it shouldnt take Google too long to re index my urls and will see what happens!

Thanks for posting this - i removed sh404sef last week as i was finding it was messing up to many things on the site and lots working better now !
cheers

It appears that the vminvoice plugin causes issues with sh404sef. if you have it enabled you will get a message when saving stuff in the component that says :


Sorry, something went wrong on the server while performing this action. Please retry or cancel

turn the plugin off and this works fine - in case that helps anyone, took me flippin hours to find the issue, would be helpful if the plugin could be made compatible please.

yep sorted thanks

thanks MUM !
I added all the freesans files and then just put the words theclockshed into the invoice name part and now all my invoices are called "theclockshed.pdf" perfick thanks
good job someone on here is helping out !!

yes agreed - i now have two empty brackets in my order emails with no order number in them !
