I did the test print and the original mod with the <DIV style='page-break-after:always'></DIV>. It doesn't work.
If I put it in the orders_list.tpl, it works for a single slip, but not the batch.

BUT! The latest suggestion with this line:

{assign var="separator" value="<div style='page-break-after: always;'><!--[if IE 7]><br style='height: 0px; line-height: 0px;'><![endif]--></div>"}

WORKS!

That line was missing from the 4.0.19 order_packing_print.tpl and order_invoice_print.tpl

Thanks, guys for all your input.

Imexhouse - I'm trying to get this great looking mod working on 4.0 but I'm still getting the 'You Should Select Orders Before' error, despite trying various variations on the script.

I have the original mod working, but the batch facility is proving to be problematic.

Any chance you could recap the batch facility code for the 4.0 branch?

Many thanks.

The reason I was getting that error was that in history_order.php I had 'pck_slip' instead of 'packing', so there was inconsistency in naming.
Make sure you're consistent. Also, if you copy the code from the forum, you'll end up with some spaces where there shouldn't be any.
Look at posts# 45-47

Oh, by the way, the original mod is balinor's and the batch feature chris.barber's.

Got It!

I had missed Markwhoo's piece of code at post #44.

That's the mechanics sorted - now onto the formatting .....

Thanks to all for their contributions!

What tool/s utilized to create unique Invoice look?

Thank you.

[chris.barber]

AUC, you can use the built in template editor, the best approach I found was to look at an Invoice and then work out which bits do what, like including the name, address, order details etc.

You can include your own graphics or text, but I haven't done anything more clever than that, follow the instructions in the original posts for how to change Invoice to Packing Slip as an example.

I'd like to do some more flash stuff with the packing slip etc but don't have time at the mo., I will be working on replicating this mod again to create a Delivery Note for when we do local deliveries with our own vehicle.

Hi...I would like to add this to my cart...can I make the changes in the Edit templates section ? What is the route to order.php so I can get started...I cannot seem to find it.

[balinor]

You can't edit php files through the template editor - you need to edit those via ftp.

[chris.barber]

As balinor says you need to copy the files to your PC using FTP, make the necessary changes and then upload them back to the site via FTP.

I would say that anyone who wants to mod their site should replicate it to a PC using FTP, a) as a backup, b) as a means of change control.

I always rename the file I am going to replace to .bak, that way no matter how thorough I have been I am always sure that the original is safe, then after a time I do a clean up exercise to remove the .baks.

HI there can you please advise whether or not you have the above mod working for 4.1 as I would be very interested in receiving a copy of the code.

Thank you,
