Re: [SL] Invoice with full details?

[Angus J. <ang...@gm...>]

Hi all,

>From what I can read of the pagebreak code in the Form.pm package, it is
this code that is causing this white space.

It looks like it counts the amount of line items in an invoice, and then
makes breaks based on them.  It does not include the %notes% variable in
it's calculation.

There is some sort of logic that includes the itemnotes variable, but it
does not appear to be working correctly, or it works in a way I cannot see
at the moment.

It is rendering the page incorrectly because it doesn't know to make a
pagebreak if there are lots of itemnotes to be printed.

I have successfully made the itemnotes print out by forcing the pagebreak
variable to the following statement:

<%pagebreak 90 7 37%>

This is dependent on the amount of line items in your invoice though, and
it's not a solution...it's just interesting that it worked for me.

Perhaps the pagebreak code can be modified to better handle lots of item
notes...I am not enough of a Perl programmer to tackle this, although I'd
love to use it! ;)

Hope this has been of some help to someone.

Regards,
Angus
