When adding the $aos_line_item_groups_name variable i get the table correct but if i have two Groups at my quote then the PDF is messed up.
For example if i have the following at my template …
With 2 Groups Everything from 3 and down will be generated two times and i have a pdf like this
How can i fix this ??
thanks
The PDF is being generated from modules/AOS_PDF_Templates/generatePdf.php so in order to achieve what you are looking to do, first copy the file to custom path and also change the entryPoint for generatePDF so that i points to the custom file, then you can add your changes to the file as you like.
I looked at the code in question to see if it was something obvious, and quick to patch locally. I would need to actually study the dev docs in order to create an effective solution. All I can say is, “beans”.
What I did discover is that the content only repeats if it’s below the table that contains $aos_line_items_groups_name - so if you use that as your last piece of content, you can have an effective outcome without having to modify the pdfGenerate.php file or add your own AOS_Line_Item_Groups class.
Quick follow-up here, and for anyone else looking to resolve this without any customization –
I have discovered that if you include the variable $aos_line_item_groups_number on the same line as $aos_line_item_groups_name and they are both inside of a <table> element, none of the content following the table will repeat.
Example (note the <h3> tag inside the <thead>):
<table style="font-size: 11px; width: 100%; color:#333333; border-style:solid; border-width:1px; border-color:#fff; text-align:center;" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="1">
<thead>
<tr>
<td>
<h3>$aos_line_item_groups_number. $aos_line_item_groups_name</h3>
</td>
</tr>

<!-- Content that comes after this table will not print inside of the item groups loop -->
This was the fastest, most immediate solution I discovered. If you’re okay with showing a simple indexing number before your group name, then it’ll do.
Edit: One issue you may also run into, is the $discount_amount variable, and any of its alternativees (e.g. $aos_quotes_discount_amount_usdollar) will no longer display in the PDF output. I’m not sure the correlation between using the groups loop and this, but I just can’t get it to show anymore.
