Use PDF Invoices & Packing Slips with Oxygen Builder

Hello @petrus006

Yes, you need to define the directory for your custom template and update the template name custom_template:

add_filter( 'wpo_wcpdf_template_paths', 'wpo_wcpdf_template_paths_custom', 10, 1 );
function wpo_wcpdf_template_paths_custom( $template_paths ) {
	// $template_paths is an array of BASE paths where the plugin will look for subfolders containing the templates

	// $template_paths['default'] // replace the default
	// $template_paths['child-theme'] // replace the child-theme
	// $template_paths['theme'] // replace the theme

	$template_paths['custom_template'] = plugin_dir_path( __FILE__ );	
	
	return $template_paths;
}

If you never worked with actions/filters please read this documentation page: How to use filters

Hello Alex,

Thanks for your quick reply. I’ll work this out.

Hello @petrus006

I have updated my answer, i believe you just need one filter to define the custom template path.

Let me know.

As you will notice, I’m not very known with functions.
I guess I have to uncomment these lines and place a path in it?

——
// $template_paths[‘default’] // replace the default
// $template_paths[‘child-theme’] // replace the child-theme
// $template_paths[‘theme’] // replace the theme
——

Leaving it like this, the code looks in the folder php of the code snippets plugin.
I’m a bit stuck in this.

Petrus

Hi @petrus006

Try this instead:

add_filter( 'wpo_wcpdf_template_paths', 'wpo_wcpdf_template_paths_custom', 10, 1 );
function wpo_wcpdf_template_paths_custom( $template_paths ) {

	$template_paths['my-custom-template'] = get_template_directory().'/woocommerce/pdf/my-custom-template/';

	return $template_paths;
}

Don’t forget to replace the my-custom-template on the snippet.

Hi @petrus006

My previous code snippet it’s not correct and will not work because Oxygen doesn’t allow theme templates.

Please use this small extension i created https://github.com/wpovernight/custom-pdf-template-extension/releases/tag/v1.0.0 and follow the instructions here.

Let me know.

Hello alexmigf,

Works perfectly. Thanks a lot.

I think more Oxygen users will face the same problem. I would like to post your solution on the Oxygen users Facebook group. If you’re OK with that, which credentials shall I use?

Regards,
Petrus

Hi @petrus006

Glad it’s working!

I believe you don’t need any credentials, the extension is public ??
