Coding skills (HTML, CSS, PHP) required for this section.

Make Custom template

You can make custom template and load it from anywhere (Theme, Plugin). First look at our default simple template.

It's located at \pdf-invoices-and-packing-slips\templates\simple.

Simple template code

Under simple folder, you can see two folders (invoice & packing). It's fine to make template for only invoice OR packing-slips.

Example folder structure for invoice template:

\custom-template-name\invoice

Inside invoice folder, You must have 4-common files :

header.php , footer.php , template.php , style.css

Then you need to register custom template :

// For "invoice"
add_filter('pips_packing_templates', 'register_invoice_templates');

function register_invoice_templates($invoice_templates) {
   $invoice_templates['custom-template-name'] = __('Custom Template', 'text-domain');

   return $invoice_templates;
}


// For "packing-slips"
add_filter('pips_packing_templates', 'register_packing_templates');

function register_packing_templates($packing_templates) {
   $packing_templates['custom-template-name'] = __('Custom Template', 'text-domain');

   return $packing_templates;
}

Locate your custom template :


// For "invoice"
add_filter('pips_invoice_template_locate', 'update_invoice_template_path', 10, 2);

function update_invoice_template_path($path, $invoice_template) {
   if ($invoice_template === "custom-template-name") {
      return dirname(__FILE__) . '/templates/' . $invoice_template . '/invoice';
   }

   return $path;
}


// For "Packing-slips"
add_filter('pips_packing_template_locate', 'update_packing_template_path', 10, 2);

function update_packing_template_path($path, $packing_template) {
   if ($packing_template === "custom-template-name") {
      return dirname(__FILE__) . '/templates/' . $packing_template . '/packing';
   }

   return $path;
}

Now go on Template settings, You'll seen custom template as option.
