[Solved] How to add a barcode into invoice/quote template

[frg]

First, upgrade MPDF library :

• download current version at https://github.com/mpdf/mpdf

• rename your current MDPF invoicePlane module vendor/mpdf to mpdf_BAK

• upload new MDPF files into a vendor/mpd/mdpf folder

Edit your template file (here quote template application/views/quote_templates/pdf/InvoicePlane.php) by inserting a div tag (given sample is an alpha39 barcode with quote number) under <div id=“client”> :

	<?php echo '<div style="text-align:center;" class="barcodecell"><barcode code="'.$quote->quote_number.'" type="C39" class="barcode" />'; ?>
		<div style="text-align:center;"><?php echo trans('quote') . ' ' . $quote->quote_number; ?></div>
	</div>

You can do additional changes into assets/invoiceplane/css/templates.css to improve rendering styles.

Other barcode samples can be found at https://github.com/mpdf/mpdf-examples/blob/master/example37_barcodes.php

Hi,

Character # is not supported by Code39, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_39

Try Code128 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_128
