Hi
I just upgraded to version 1.6.3 from 1.6.1.
The footer no longer shows on the invoice. The invoice now displays the invoice number and a page count. eg “Invoice 3190 - Page 1 / 1”
Is there something I am doing incorrectly or am missing.
Thank you for your assistance.

Hey,
Probably this one: 1.6.3 introduces a new html footer. If this is omitted, an error occurs · Issue #1299 · InvoicePlane/InvoicePlane · GitHub
Or this one:

@pekiZG,
**_Note/remark regarding IP 163 RC1._**
In the screenshot below you can… see my adjustments that I placed in the **Settings - Invoice Templates - PDF Footer**:

In this screenshot you can see the result:

As you can see, none of the code in this setting is displayed in the footer of the pdf.
> It is not clear to me whether this is a bug or whether something needs to be adjusted in the template to display this correctly...
Can this be checked asap before this PR is released?
Workaround: manually add that footer that 1.6.3 added.
I’m not at my PC at the moment, but if someone can debug this that would be great

This workaround did the trick for now.
I however did not place my code in the footer, but used the div that contains the invoice terms.
Thanks for the quick support. Much appreciated.

For those who also have this issue.
Add following code at the bottom of application/views/quote_templates/pdf/InvoicePlane.php
?>
</div>
<htmlpagefooter name="footer">
<footer>
<?php _trans('quote'); ?> <?php echo $quote->quote_number; ?> - <?php _trans('page'); ?> {PAGENO} / {nbpg}
</footer>
</htmlpagefooter>
<sethtmlpagefooter name="defaultFooter" value="on" />
<!-- To use the template with page numbering, uncomment the following line -->
<!-- <sethtmlpagefooter name="footerWithPageNumbers" value="on" /> -->
</body>
</html>
application/views/invoice_templates/pdf/InvoicePlane.php
</div>
<htmlpagefooter name="footer">
<footer>
<?php _trans('invoice'); ?> <?php echo $invoice->invoice_number; ?> - <?php _trans('page'); ?> {PAGENO} / {nbpg}
</footer>
</htmlpagefooter>
<sethtmlpagefooter name="defaultFooter" value="on" />
<!-- To use the template with page numbering, uncomment the following line -->
<!-- <sethtmlpagefooter name="footerWithPageNumbers" value="on" /> -->
</body>
</html>
and last:
application/helpers/mpdf_helper.php
Take an extremely close look at the changes from the pull_request from naui. He made some changes in a couple of places in the mpdf_helper file
This solved the footer note (html) settng and is now back visbile on both my quotes and invoice pdf.
