Sending an invoice with a logo does not work, without a logo it does

[Michael_Aleixo]

Is anyone running into the problem that you can’t put a logo in the invoice?

when I have a logo I get this error when I want to send the invoice.

An uncaught Exception was encountered

Type: Mpdf\MpdfImageException

Why is this in the link below the image is there in the map ///

Concentrate on the fact that the PDF creator is looking for a file through the ‘file://’ protocol, as it looks like.
That’s strange.

Try to use files, local to your webserver, yes. Not https://some-remote-webdite.com/image.jpg

It’s better to find that logo at ‘/assets/logos/company-logo.jpg’.

Hope you see the differences in what you’re using at the moment

That is not working

is this okay that i did the update but it says 1.6 instead of 1.6.0?

[UnderDog]

The update, you did great, don’t worry about that.

It’s purely that mPDF cannot find your logo, that needs to be found out why

@Michael_Aleixo Check the following pull-request:

Update invoice_helper.php

It is a very simple fix that will resolve your proem in this case.
We will bring that same solution in the next version we’ll release

i had the same problem…

i’ve uploaded the logo for invoices and it’s accessible via browser…

when i try do view a pdf invoice, I get this error…

An uncaught Exception was encountered

so I tried the suggested fix in invoice_helper.php but then i just got

Message: Could not find image file (https://XXX.com/uploads/logo1.jpg)

i thought it would have something to do with the host being https so i tried setting curlAllowUnsafeSslRequests to true in vendor/mpdf/mpdf/src/Config/ConfigVariables.php and the Logo is showing now…

i don’t know why it’s not working with “curlAllowUnsafeSslRequests false” though. There is a valid letsencrypt certificate in place…

maybe someone has an idea.

the suggested change in the above linked github pull-request didn’t do the trick for me

i replaced that line with following line

        return '<img src="uploads/' . $CI->mdl_settings->setting('invoice_logo') . '" id="invoice-logo">';

Changing the file invoice_helper.php did make the pdfs work again. Perhaps smart to fix this in the 1.6.0 download already?

[UnderDog]

Hi @KENE thank you for the suggestion.

We’re fixing it in an upcoming release, version 1.6.1
We’re waiting for a couple of other fixes to make that release
