Re: How to send auto email after direct invoice

Line 1000-1001 in file reporting/includes/pdf_report.inc has the necessary code you want to modify.

                        $msg = _("Dear") . " " . $contact['name2'] . ",\n\n" 
                            . _("Attached you will find ") . " " . $subject ."\n\n";

Re: How to send auto email after direct invoice

Each Report will have different variables. The pdf_report.inc file is used for all reports. You must use the variable from the repXXX.php file you want after checking that it is the report being generated before inserting into the $msg string.

Actually, in such instances, a html email or plain text email can be an option for the reports along with PDF/Excel.

Re: How to send auto email after direct invoice

I can't help you on how to automatically send the mail, but just wanted to remind you...  don't forget to save a backup copy of any file(s) you change.  Otherwise, your change(s) will get overwritten if you do an update and those files are effected and you'll have to redo all the changes.

Regards,

Re: How to send auto email after direct invoice

you also might want to change line 1006 to
$msg = _("Dear") . " " . $contact['name'] . ",\n\n"
