copy the library from here https://sourceforge.net/projects/phpqrc … t/download
to --> /reporting/includes/

in the file
/reporting/includes/doctext.inc

in the top

// add QR Support mod
    $path_to_root="..";
    include_once($path_to_root . "/reporting/includes/phpqrcode/qrlib.php");

    $tempDir = $path_to_root ."/company/1/pdf_files/"; // <--NOTE must be your temp location
// end

the if statement around line 270 should look like this

    if (@$this->formData['payment_service'])    //payment link
    {
        $amt = number_format($this->formData["ov_freight"] + $this->formData["ov_gst"] + $this->formData["ov_amount"], user_price_dec());
        $service = $this->formData['payment_service'];
        $url = payment_link($service, array(
            'company_email' => $this->company['email'],
            'amount' => $amt,
            'currency' => $this->formData['curr_code'],
            'comment' => $this->title . " " . $this->formData['reference'],
            'invoice' => $this->formData['document_number']
            ));
        $Footer[_("You can pay through"). " $service: "] = "$url";
// QR Mod
        $tempname = tempnam($tempDir,'QRcode');
        QRcode::png($url, $tempname.'.png', QR_ECLEVEL_L, 3);
        $this->Image($tempname.'.png',486,670,100,100);
// End
    }

A more keyboard-friendly approach would be building a simple URL shortening and redirection service, but that would involve interfacing with a publicly accessible web server.

Thanks for that info.  If I decide to do a backup of my production data and restore it into Mercurial I'll remember to run those SQL statements so the the db is correct.

Thanks for pointing that out!    I type that word so often I often don't look at it closely any more!

I'll keep that in mind, too, if I decide to do the export/import thing into Mercurial.

Yes, it does.  I tried a logo with a transparent background but the transparency converted to black in the PDF reader.  I never use colored paper for business purposes, so the white background works just fine.

That's right.  Owner's Equity is my capital investment in the company (i.e. shares).  Owner's Draw is used for occasionally putting some operating funds into the company or drawing-out funds for personal use.    Although I could record draws to Owner's Equity, I prefer to keep those two types of transactions separate.

See my comment above.

Thanks, again, apmuthu for your help!

Perhaps it's best to leave things be?  I'm sure I'll get used to the URL's.  Sorry if my suggestion caused anyone to waste time/effort that could have been better spent on other matters.

Regards,

Chris

The other argument against it is that a good typist could easily enter the URL in a browser from a printed copy. This is not possible at all with this new implementation.

In Foxit Reader:
Edit -> Preferences -> Trust Manager -> Enable Safe Reading Mode -> Uncheck

As told, this doesn't work in Foxit reader and we should not change something that does not work in all pdf viewers.

/Joe

Please let me know which PDF Reader it did not work.

If the PayPal Link is necessary to be shown in full, maybe we can add a config variable (all companies) for it or a setup preference (sys_prefs) variable for it (per company basis). The patch contains the native way to populate a link in TCPDF with no dependency of FPDF parsers. The latest TCPDF also has ShotCodes, Extended barcodes / QCodes as well.

The old, ugly one, did work. And for printed copies, you could just enter the URL in your browser and pay it this way too.

$this->row -= $this->lineHeight;

If the said lines are commented out, the blank line in the middle of the footer disappears.

Attached herein is the before and after picture set of an invoice.

The changes from the stock FA v2.3.13 to the Mercurial Build now as far as the database is concerned is only the following statements (You are using company 0 with a table prefix of "f1_"):

# Default value is not '1' but blank
ALTER TABLE `f1_users` 
    CHANGE `print_profile` `print_profile` varchar(30)  COLLATE latin1_swedish_ci NOT NULL DEFAULT '' after `pos`;

# InnoDB needed for Foreign Keys - not mere unique key
ALTER TABLE `f1_tag_associations` 
    ADD PRIMARY KEY(`record_id`,`tag_id`), 
    DROP KEY `record_id`, ENGINE=InnoDB; 

ALTER TABLE `f1_tags` ENGINE=InnoDB; 

# New feature in Mercurial build needs it
INSERT INTO `f1_sys_prefs` VALUES ('bcc_email', 'setup.company', 'varchar', '100', NULL);

Typo in Company Name - Extraordinaire.

The config.php must be matched with the config.default.php to make up for the missing/changed entries. Stick to default themes for now till the other themes are updated to accommodate the changed function locations that affect the renderer.php in the older themes.

The choice of white background in your logo blends well with stock white paper invoice!
COA has Retained Earnings, Owner's Drawings and Owner's Equity in Owner's Capital type(7).

Working on the prettier link without having to change the code much.....

Your point about the link in a printed report not being click-able is well taken.  However, with such a long URL it's a bit doubtful someone is going to type it all in manually, especially since it contains special characters (e.g. "&" for field parameters and "%40" instead of "@").  So, getting rid of all that, even though it means someone who prints the report can't type it, probably isn't that big a deal.

Anyway, I tried making the changes you suggested above and now neither the word "PayPal" nor the long URL are click-able, although the URL is blue instead of black.  If you PM me your e-mail address, I can e-mail you a PDF'ed invoice to look at (I don't want to post one online.)

EDIT:  Actually, the payment link now looks like this (and is unclickable):

<a href='https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=chris%40crazychris.ca&item_name=INVOICE+146&amount=24.30&currency_code=CAD'>Payment Link</a>

In other words, it's printing out the whole URL, not just "Payment Link".

Thanks, again, for your help!

P.S.  I sent you a PM about accessing my system.  I hope you got it?

The reason that is expanded in full is that in a printout the URL is not clickable!

Please try replacing Lines 1350-1355 in includes/ui/ui_view.inc for your requirement (inspite of reason listed) with:

if (!isset($payment_services))
{
    $payment_services = array(
        'PayPal' => "<a href='https://www.paypal.com/xclick/business=<company_email>&item_name=<comment>&amount=<amount>&currency_code=<currency>'>Payment Link</a>",
    );
}

Line 259 in file reporting/includes/doctext.inc:

$Footer[_("You can pay through"). " $service: "] = "$url";

and Line 1014 in file reporting/includes/pdf_report.inc:

$msg.= _("You can pay through"). " $service: $url\n\n";

are used to display the assembled $url string.

BTW: your screenshot was http and not https and yes, upload rights are controlled by the board admin.

Hope that helps...
