Editing / Changing the Invoice Date manually

It is currently not possible to edit the invoice date, I will look into adding this to the next version!

Any work around possible? Would editing the invoice date with phpMyAdmin work? (just as a quick hack in case I need it urgently) Or are there any side effects to be expected by changing the date directly in the db?

Anyway, can’t wait for the upcoming version ??

I mean if the invoice date is persisted in a field within the mysql db somehow… If the pdf simple prints the current date-of-today, then mangling with the db would not help. How does it work currently? Any possiblility for a workaround?

Ok, I found a workaround I can live with until editable invoice dates are implemented. I simply use the order date as invoice date like:

in invoice.php of Modern:

// set $display date & label to user setting
			if ( $date_setting == 'invoice_date' ) {
				$display_date = $wpo_wcpdf->get_invoice_date();
				$display_date_label = __( 'Invoice Date:', 'wpo_wcpdf' );
			} else {
				$display_date = $wpo_wcpdf->get_order_date();
				// FIXME workaround: Use editable Bestelldatum for Rechnungsdatum
				// $display_date_label = __( 'Order Date:', 'wpo_wcpdf' );
				$display_date_label = __( 'Invoice Date:', 'wpo_wcpdf' );
			}

and in packing-slip.php:

<table class="invoice-info">
				<tr>
					<td><?php _e( 'Order Number:', 'wpo_wcpdf' ); ?></td>
					<td><?php $wpo_wcpdf->order_number(); ?></td>
				</tr>
				<tr>
				        <!-- FIXME workaround: Use editable Bestelldatum for Rechnungsdatum -->
					<!-- <td><?php _e( 'Order Date:', 'wpo_wcpdf' ); ?></td> -->
					<td><?php _e( 'Invoice Date:', 'wpo_wcpdf' ); ?></td>
					<td><?php echo $wpo_wcpdf->get_order_date(); ?></td>
				</tr>
			</table>

BTW, in packing-slip.php you are not using get_invoice_date() method like in invoice.php but retrieve the date from mysql directly. I think you should refactor this.
<td><?php echo date_i18n( 'j-n-Y', strtotime( $wpo_wcpdf->export->order->order_date )); ?></td>

editable invoice dates are now implemented in the development version and will be included in the next release – although it’s also perfectly safe to edit the date in the mysql database! (it’s only used by this plugin anyway).
