Today Date instead of Raised on Exported invoices

hey there. I have a small problem with the event booking when exporting the invoices. They seem to export with the ‘todays’ date on them instead of the date they where raised… is there a setting anywhere to prevent this. Thanks for taking the time to read this and I would very much appreciate your help. Thanks

Hi Kevin

Could you please let me know what tag you are using in the invoice to show the date so that I can check it?

hi there,

thanks for getting back to me.

On the invoice template the following is used for the date:

<td align="left" width="50%">Invoice Date:</td>
<td align="left">[INVOICE_DATE]</td>

Hi

I can confirm the issue. Right now, the tag [INVOICE_DATE] just be replaced with today date. Usually, that will be the invoice date but if you download the invoice later, the date will be wrong.

To solve the issue, please follow the instruction below :

1. Open the file components/com_eventbooking/helper/helper.php

2. Find the function generateInvoicePDF

3. Find this line of code

4. Change it to:

After that, it should work as expected. I am going to update the download package with this fix as well

I have applied this change as you say... however when you try and view an invoice it just does to a blank page.

Here is a paste of the helper file in the attachment
