Comment: I'm getting this error message, when I
try accessing Web Invoice.
Site error: the file
C:www\webinvoice\index.php requires the
ionCube PHP Loader
ioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll to be
installed by the site administrator.

what does this mean?

Comment: Dear Adam.
This means that you don't have the
Ioncube Loader installed, and it hasn't gotten installed automatically.
to Correct this, you'd need to edit
your php.ini file and insert this line
at the bottom.
zend_extension_ts=c:\www\webinvoice\ioncubeioncube_loader_win_5.2.dll
Then restart your apache WEB server.

Comment: Hi,
Is this app Windows only? If not, can I download a demo I
can run on Linux?

Comment: Thanks for your question.
It is 100% compatible with Windows, linux or FreeBSD, how
ever, as of now, you'd first need to install the setup file
in windows which will decompress all php files. Then copy
the entire directory or upload it to your linux box.
Additionally, There will be a Linux compressed tar.gz
Version available sometime next month.
I hope this answers your question.
Feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions.

Comment: 2ndly, you'll also need to include the .so linux file instead of the .dll windows file when configuring php.ini to load the zend extention.
It should look somthign like this.
zend_extension_ts=/www/webinvoice/ioncube/ioncube_loader_lin_5.2.so

Comment: Can I convert a Service Request to a Invoice.

Comment: Hi David,
Sure, as long as the End-User attached to the service is also a customer, the option to convert will be available on the top bar.

Comment: Hi Donald,
did the last answer help you? would you like a more in depth explanation?
Basically, as long as the user who created the service request has a customer id associated with his/her user account, then you'd be able to convert that service request into an Invoice. You can always edit the service request and create a new customer by pulling his user data into the customer directory, if that user isn't currently a customer.
I hope that helps, Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

Comment: I get this error message when trying to install demo version on my mamp setup I am running this on mac/linux setup ...
Site error: the file /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/installscr761/index.php requires the ionCube PHP Loader ioncube_loader_dar_5.2.so to be installed by the site administrator.

thanks!

NAME: Staff

Comment: Hi, Chaim.
Thanks for your question.
you'll need to download the ioncube loader for MAC, ioncube_loader_dar_5.2.so from either http://www.ioncube.com/loaders.php
or from our web Site at http://mtechdigital.com/downloads/ioncube_loader_dar_5.2.so
, once downloaded, you'll need to add this line to the top of your php.ini file,
zend_extension_ts=ioncube_loader_dar_5.2.so
or similar depending on the path of your .so file
I hope this helps you.
Good luck!

Comment: also, you must restart apache after installing the loader

Comment: Basically, in order to install on linux, go to Demo & Downloads, fill out your info, and download the script version.
This will be a zip file containing all files and directory structures.
Upload the file to your linux server in Binary mode if doing so by FTP, and unpack it there.
then edit the file called sqlserver.php which is in the settings directory, and change the settings for the MYSQL server and the username, password and name of Database which you have created.
if you have not created a database or installed mysql, you can do it after.
if you cant unpack the zip file on linux, then unpack it in windows, edit the sqlserver.php file and upload all files and directories in Binary mode to your server.

Good Luck

Comment: This is a great program,
how ever. I have a little problem.
I'd like to customize my email when sending an invoice.
Can I customize the body of the email when sending an invoice as a pdf document?

NAME: Staff
Date: 01-27-2010
Comment: Hi Jack,

Excellent question.
You can customize the email by editing a file called invoice-body.txt which is located in the settings directory.
In general, there are lots of other customization options which are usually located in the settings directory.

Comment: I have installed it as per your email but the email as PDF option does not work.
I tick the check box and it still emails it in the body of the email.
Not sure what I did wrong

Comment: Hi bill,
What needs to be done is, you have to do a chmod -R 775 or 777 on the directory of webinvoice or which ever directory you have Web Invoice installed in.
What's happening is, the html to pdf converter saves a temp file within the webinvoice directory, so that directory needs to be fully writeable by the system or the user which apache is running under.

You might also want to do a chmod 777 on the file which is the directory of h2p just to make sure and maybe that directory itself, just incase it still isn't fully accessable.

Comment: Hi all. I would like to have the word INVOICE in the invoices changed to TAX INVOICE to comply with australian Taxation office rules. how easy is this to do so it only comes up with TAX when its an invoice and not an estimate?

NAME: Staff
Date: 02-09-2010
Comment: Hi Matt,
Yes, You can easily change the way the Invoice itself Looks by editing the file called invoiceface.txt within the settings directory.
Find where it says "$ioe1 #" and add TAX before "$ioe".
This will always add on the word TAX on Every Invoice, including Estimates.
If you only want TAX to be seen on Invoices and not Estimates, then you'll need to add some php code which will have to check whether or not ($ioe == 'Invoice').
for example:
if ($ioe == 'Invoice') {$ioe1 ="TAX $ioe1";}

Place this line of code above, right below where it says < ? php , save the file, upload it to your server again, or in the case of the Windows version, just save it, and try viewing an Invoice again.
It should work.

good luck!

Comment: General NOTICE:
If Web Invoice is installed in a Windows environment using the script Install for linux, These are Things to look out for.
-Make sure to download the correct ioncube decode from ioncube.com
-Make sure to install PHP vc6, not vc9 because of incompatibility with Ioncube
-If getting a blank white screen, make sure MySQL Is installed correctly and configure the file called sqlserver.php within the settings directory in Web Invoice to connect to the MySQL Server correctly or else it may hang for 30 seconds before giving a white screen.

Comment: In continuation,
Also, make sure to download the windows version and copy the directory h2p to your current installation, overwriting the current directory.
This will allow PDF documents to be created within windows instead of a linux environment

Comment: How do I change the listening port in Web Invoice for Windows?

NAME: Staff
Date: 03-07-2010
Comment: In order to change the port for the Windows Version of Web Invoice from the default port 80 to port 8081, Please do the following 2 steps:

STEP 1:
Go to start -> programs -> Web Invoice, right click and edit the file called start & run Web Invoice,
find this line:
netstat -anp tcp | FIND /I "0.0.0.0:80" >NUL
and change to
netstat -anp tcp | FIND /I "0.0.0.0:8081" >NUL assuming you want to change to port 8081

Then find this line:
echo Port 80 is free - OK to run server
and change it to:
echo Port 8081 is free - OK to run server

Then find this line:
start http://127.0.0.1
and change to:
start http://127.0.0.1:8081
there will be another one just like this at the bottom.

exit and save the file.

Step 2:
start -> run C:\www\WebInvoice\udrive\usr\local\apache2\conf
and edit the file called httpd.conf

find these 2 lines:
Listen 80
ServerName localhost:80

and change to:
Listen 8081
ServerName localhost:8081

then exit and save the file.
Now go to start -> programs -> Web Invoice, and click stop Web Invoice, then start it once again.
It should now be configured to use port 8081 instead of port 80.
