Including Invoice ID in Contribution Receipt
July 29, 2008, 06:25:29 pm
Hi There,

Just going through testing of a new installation and noticed that when I go to send a receipt for a new online introduction, the invoice ID is not included (just the transaction Id).

My understanding of these two fields are as follows:

- The invoice ID is where we can enter the ID that our accounting system (MYOB) generates for a transaction.
- The transaction ID is either what the online payment processor generates, or the number of the cheque, money order or direct debit receipt in the case of 'pay later' options.

Assuming that I've understood the purpose of these fields correctly, we need the e-mailed receipt to include in it the Invoice ID (ideally printed as Invoice/Receipt ID).  Is this possible?  I'm moderately fluent in PHP if it needs a hack, but would appreciate a pointer to which file needs hacking.

Cheers,

David

U'll need to customize one template file: CRM/Contribute/Form/Message.tpl. You should be able to use {$formValues.invoice_id} for your invoice id entered.

and basically add the invoiceID there. I'm assuming you are talking of the receipt sent from a url like:

https://drupal.demo.civicrm.org/civicrm/contact/view/contribution?reset=1&action=add&cid=102&context=contribution

For other urls, you'll need to do something similar and find the right template file. In some case you might need to assign the invoice id to smarty template

if you need help or assistance ping us on IRC

Thanks Donald.  That did the trick.
