Very nice!

I wonder if there's a way to support multiple page invoices with CSS somehow...

You may be interested in the HTML to PDF plugin we're going to be releasing shortly. Oops, I'm not supposed to mention things that haven't been released yet. ;)

What do you mean by "advanced querys in textfields"?
All the best,
Chris

Hi Donna, it would be "mentioning". You responded pretty quickly to that one...how about someone responding to

This is REALLY interesting. As many of us on this forum are freelancers or small businesses, a simple invoicing system would be very handy.

When we add the email download plugin and the PDF plugin, possibly a paypal account... we could have a very nice system here.

Well done flamerz! I love seeing new uses for CMSB.
Cheers,

Chris:

for example, i have some invoices and i want to make a new one.

i dont use an autonumeric field, just using a simple textfield as invoice number.

i use a LIST PULLDOWN control, with the following query:

SELECT max(id)+1
FROM `<?php echo $TABLE_PREFIX ?>facturas`

(get the last invoice and sum 1)

this way i get the next invoice number.

i wish to set this one inside a textfield instead a list pulldown... but textfield dont let me use a query as default value.

Here's a (very) advanced trick for doing that with textfields. Throw this in a textfield's Default Value:

<?php $row = mysql_query_fetch_row_array("SELECT MAX(id)+1 FROM `{$TABLE_PREFIX}facturas`"); echo $row[0]; ?>

Of course, I have to warn you that the "MAX(id)+1" trick isn't entirely safe -- if someone clicks to create a second record before the first one has been saved, you can wind up with two records with the same id. Just something to beware of!

I hope this helps! Please keep us informed about your project. :)
All the best,
Chris
