When I am sending out quote to my clients. I get an error message. I am hoping someone can help me. I’ve followed the instruction on here: https://community2.invoiceplane.com/t/topic/3515 , to try to resolve error message but still got the same error. Please take a look at the error message below. If you can help, i would really appreciate it.

Are you customising your e-mail template with HTML? Does it include <head> statements? Have you copy/pasted the “HTML” source from a rich HTML editor and added Invoiceplane tags?
If so, try creating a non-HTML template to test, and slowly add in <body> type elements if it works. Don’t include any <head> or <body> statements (or their associated closing tags). Start simple…
Everything was standard. i didn’t add anything or create anything extra. it was straight out of the box install. Just can’t figure out what is causing it to occur.
This error occurs if you set a pdf template in the past and it’s not available anymore, likely after a major update for InvoicePlane.
Please check your settings and set all PDF templates correctly.
go to /settings, then click on tab Quotes, scroll down and make sure you selected a PDF template.
If you can’t select any PDF template, it means you’re missing a file within folder /application/views/quote_templates/pdf
@musa, Should this not be looking for **/template_name.php"?
@beachlifemarketing , Do you receive any errors on page two of https://yourdomain/path/index.php/setup/prerequisites/ ? (you may need to re-enable access to setup within the ipconfig.php file - DISABLE_SETUP=true. Do you know much about your hosting environment?
The InvoicePlane app scans the /pdf directory for .php files and prints them in a select box on the settings page.
Either the template (php file) was deleted, which I very doubt, either OP played with the invoices templates settings and set the default template to “nothing” instead of “InvoicePlane” or “InvoicePlane - Paid” or “InvoicePlane - Overdue” or whatever it’s called I can’t remember.
Hence the empty setting value in OP’s db.
You can easily reproduce OP’s bug switching the default invoice PDF template to “none” then try to download it from the guest page.
New Invoice Plane user here! Love it. Successfully installed it yesterday (after struggling with some SMTP settings due to G-Suite/2-factor authentication/App-specific password).
I too ran into similar issues as the first one, but mine are when I email a Quote. But the error messages I receive are almost identical to the first post in this thread. Specifically:
