PLEASE NOTE
As of the 5th Novemeber 2011 the plugin has been changed and is available on Github using the below link. The current repo is a rewrite of my old base code and is quite a change. You can still download the old V1 code here (also available as V1 tag in Github) but this is now redundant in favour of using a system that allows for the use of template function calls and and a more object orientated approach.
After playing around a lot with Jigoshop lately I was asked by a client if there was any functionailty for printing delivery notes. To my knowledge there was not any way of doing this so I wrote a quick plugin allowing for custom templating to achieve exactly this goal.
It’s not big and it is not overly clever but it did a job for my client.
Updated to V1.1 (Added some new tags)
thanks for the work! i really like the plugin. but for my needs i had to translate it to german. could i send you the modyfied files to put them online again?
Yes that would be great!
I am using jigoshop for my florist shop online, I am still working it out. Is there anyway to add a delivery date to the shipping details.
Hi there. What version of the plugin are you using?
If you are using the latest version of the delivery notes plugin and If the shipping date is the date you print the invoice then just add the following php code to your template where you want the date to appear:
< ?php date('D/M/Y'); ?>@Steve – Surely if they use date(‘D/M/Y’); in the file, this will change if they open up the invoice at a later date. A better idea would be to store the value in the database for the order, then output that on the invoice.
@Ben – Yep indeed it is! – I think the order date is stored in an order custom post type and should be available for use in the order object which is available in V1.1 . The tagging has since become redundant in favour of more flexible approach to marking up your templates. Feel free to fork and contribute to the plugin on github if you think there is a better solution.
