is it possible to edit the template of estimates? I don´t find anything about this, only what i know is for the invoice template to edit but i can not found anything for estimates.

Did anyone know where i can do this? Or is it a .tpl what must be edited? and where can i find it then?
regards

Hello

I am wondering the same thing , I did find an estimate.tpl file in my template folder but any modifications I do to this file are not reflected when estimates are generated.

Can anyone tell us how to make custom estimate templates?

Many Thanks

Hi,

I also need it, something like the invoice editor would be perfect.

Did you try cleaning the template cache? I almost went insane when editing my company template
before discovering the joy of a quick
find . -type f -name '*%*.php' -delete
in the templates_c folder after uploading changes :P

This is not the problem ;) the problem is to find the right file to editing the estimate template

This will not help. It only shows how to generate a estimate and this is not the problem. The problem is to change or add some things as you can do it on the invoice editor. The estimate has some hard coded text parts that can only edited if you know where the .tpl for it is and this is my problem i don´t know the place where to find it.

Did you check out the mysql database section for this information to edit sometimes you need to change things in there.

i have already checked all these .tpl files but i can´t find anything to edit on it.

What i want to change on the estimate is all like i can do it on the invoice side to change the table the address fields and all this things and this should be stored in a .tpl because you can not do it from HostBill directly like the invoice template.

It's not that no one is interested - obviously. This thread's garnered some serious interest. I'm almost afraid to touch anything for fear of having to run a restore.

It took two years just to get kbkp to *fix* the estimates, so that the line items no longer ran off the page on a single line in the generated pdf that the customer received, and I halfway expect anything that gets improved that was once broken to get broken again in the process - at least that's what seems to happen.

If you do resolve the issue, pls report back in detail coz I'm following the progress of this thread too :)
