$custom_fields is not available in invoice templates and email template

these two fixes did not work for me.
My custom field still outputs this error:

A PHP Error was encountered

Severity: Notice

Message: Undefined property: stdClass::$client_custom_site_contact

EDIT: it’s not working in pdf or public invoices/quotes
I got it to work in emails by changing my custom field label to {{{ip_cf_2}}}

I recently upgrade the system to 1.5.4. and the $custom_fields is still not available in invoicePlane_Web.php public template.

I’m seeing the same thing, custom_fields is undefined in the public template.

Anyone coming across this; I made a pull request to make custom fields available in the web/public templates: https://github.com/InvoicePlane/InvoicePlane/pull/549/files

hello,
nothing is working for me, I can’t add a custom field to InvoicePlane_Web.php
not with changes to application\helpers\template_helper.php and application\modules\custom_fields\models\Mdl_custom_fields.php
nor with application/modules/guest/controllers/View.php

did it work for you all ?

hello,

sorry, I know why, maybe you need to reapply same changes in View.php to include also custom tags for quotes not only invoices.
I modified it and it works now.

Really…This needs to be tested on all environments before releasing…Very poorly managed.

Does latest version 1.5.5 have custom fields working?

Custom fields are working perfectly fine for me.

Hello, Did you find a fix for this?
Thanks

Issue seems to be with customs fields with “Single Choice” in E-Mail templates as I came across. It just displays the “custom_values_id” in “ip_custom_values” table.
Value in “ip_invoice_custom” table referring to the filed is also the same value. Is it correct?
Text and other single types work.
@YeyDev any help from your side is also welcome

I’ve got this problem as well. Just migrated from 1.4 to 1.5.9 and trying to solve this. Have read the docs on migrating & changes to custom fields. I have custom fields working in my PDF templates and in email, but am getting errors / no result in the web view templates.

For a custom variable called “ABN” in “user”, I’ve tried:

<?php if ($custom_fields['user']['ABN']) {
  echo 'ABN: ' . ($custom_fields['user']['ABN']) . '<br><br>'; } ?>

Which throws up a PHP error: “Undefined variable: custom_fields”

I’ve also tried:

<?php if (!empty($custom_fields['user']['ABN'])): ?>
  <?php echo 'ABN: ' . ($custom_fields['user']['ABN']) . '<br><br>'; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

Which doesn’t throw an error, but doesn’t print the custom variable.

What am I doing differently to you @Kovah ?

Custom fields are working as expected for both web and PDF templates.

Email templates are using a different approach that makes usage of some custom fields impossible at the moment. But email templates will be completely rewritten anyway.

OK, if they’re working correctly, how can I call them in web templates?

<?php print_r($custom_fields) ?>

throws:

A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Notice
Message: Undefined variable: custom_fields
