Documents

This article is machine translated.

In Isotope eCommerce, Dokumente is always used to display a collection of products. At the core of Isotope, we are talking about PDF files here. However, it would also be conceivable to support any output format (from .docx to .odt), provided that the appropriate tools are available on the server.

In the core of Isotope eCommerce, only the document type Standard is currently provided. It is similar to the print function for articles of the Contao core: It tries to generate a PDF from HTML code.

You can create as many documents as you like and then select them in other parts of Isotope eCommerce. Conceivable are for example:

  • Invoice
  • Order confirmation
  • Shipping confirmation
  • etc.

Since an invoice is desired in most cases, the configuration of such an invoice is illustrated below.

Example setting for an invoice document

Name & Type

Setting Default Setting Description
Document Name - Here you can enter an internal name for the document.
Document type - Select the desired document type here.

Your trusted programmer can program document types and make them available for you to choose from here. So if the existing document types are not enough for you, Isotope eCommerce gives you the flexibility to fix that.

General settings

Setting Default Setting Description
Document title - Here you can define the title of the document. It is available in the template as a variable and represents the heading. Use Simple Tokens ( `collection_*`), where `*` stands for the row of the database table `tl_iso_product_collection`. A classic example would be the generated document number or in this case the invoice number: `Ihre Rechnung ##collection_document_number##`.
Filename - Here you can define the generated filename of the document. Use Simple Tokens ( `collection_*`), where `*` stands for the row of the database table `tl_iso_product_collection`. A classic example would be the generated document number or in this case the invoice number: `rechnung_##collection_document_number##`.
