Need help on using business letterhead for invoice background
 

Hi,

I'd like to use my business letterhead as a background for the invoices. Any idea how and where to do that?

I'm new to this software language and still trying to get my head around how things fit together.

Guessing one of the files will be skin1/mail/html/order_invoice.tpl?

Yes, that's the template you need. You'd need to set it as the background image.

Thanks Paul.

I'm struggling to get it to show as the invoice background. Currently it just keeps showing it as a full page image, with the invoice now on a 2nd page.

Any hints?

Have you added the image as a background in the css file, in the class:
"order-invoice"
?

In skin1/mail/html/order_invoice.tpl I replaced this

with the following:


Problem now is that, depending on the number of products listed on the invoice, it either

• cuts off the bottom piece of the letterhead; or

• prints the full letterhead followed by top section of letterhead again.

What am I missing?

Hi Paul,

Initially - no. Didn't think of css.

I now changed the following in main.css:

replaced with



Still get the same problem as with changes made to order_invoice.tpl (as mentioned in previous post ) - even if I remove the changes made in order_invoice.tpl.


Really appreciate your thoughts on this.

Probably you need to change your invoice from an image, to html code that can have the body stretch, then insert the html code above and below the existing invoice. Often it's easiest to do this globally on all emails by modifying the header and signature files.
