Display £ sign on invoices

Feature Request
1

When i create an invoice in the system it shows the £ sign.

When i preview it or save as a PDF the £ sign does not display.

Why is this?

2

The balance figure will always show with the currency, we have opted not to display the £ sign next to every value on the preview and PDF version as it tends to look cluttered and is somewhat superfluous.

3

Will there be an option in the future to be able to show it on the PDF’s as i save the PDF’s and send the invoices to my clients.

It hasn’t been recommended before, but I have converted this to a “Feature request” so we can certainly review this in the future should it prove to be popular.

Maybe an option would be to do it using CSS ‘Content’?

That’s a great idea!.. I’ve not tried it myself but it may be useful!

The only doubt I have is the PDF conversion tool only understands very primitive CSS so it may not work. It should however work on all the standard web views.

Thanks i have tried the following:

These two put the £ sign before all text and also put it on a new line.

.invoice-footer-right-td:before {
	content: "£";
}

.invoice-text:before {
	content: "£";
}

These two are blank and do not even show the £

.invoiceBalanceAmount:before {
	content: "£";
}

.invoice-footer-right-td invoice-text invoice-footer-balance-cell:before {
	content: "£";
}

Do you know which DIV Class i would change as it doesnt seem to be working.

Try this:

.invoice-footer-right-td:before{
   content: "£"; 
   display:inline;
}

#invoiceNetTotal, #invoiceAmountPaid, #invoiceBalanceAmount{
    display:inline;
}

The second class forces the other footer items onto one line. You can also prefix the values in the item line using the following CSS:

.tdItems3:before, .tdItems6:before{
   content: "£";  
}

As suspected none of these classes will work for the PDF version which really only interprets the most basic CSS.

Thanks that does work on the display invoice in the system and as you said not on the PDF which is a shame.

Is there anyway you can incorporate this in the PDF

Unfortunately there’s no PDF converter out there (that I am aware) that can handle CSS3. That’s the problem!

Ok no worries.

I will start to send the invoices through the system and add all the contacts to my clients.

Thanks for all the help thou.
