Re: [SL] Invoice with full details?

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

Hi again,

I have just had a revelation.  From looking at the Form.pm file, I saw that
if I defined the countitemnotes variable in a custom script it may help me
out.  I added this to my custom_io.pl file:

$form->{countitemnotes} = 1;

Now my items print out correctly, at least as far as I have tested they seem
to work great now!

Hope this helps someone else...

Regards,
Angus Jordan
