OpenCart: How to disable province display on the invoice? - php

Question

Although we have provinces in the Netherlands we do not use them in an address (postcode is the most important thing with us). For this reason I disabled the province in the OpenCart checkout process. It still displays however on the invoice I print out, and since no province is filled in, the first province on the list is standard displayed, which is often the wrong one. For this reason I want to take away the province from the OpenCart invoice.
So I opened admin/view/template/sale/order_invoice.tpl and searched for the relevant part. Unfortunately, the address is referred to as $order['payment_address'] and $order['shipping_address']. Somehow, that code prints out the address including breaklines (<br />).
My question is now: how do I disable just the province in the customer address displayed on the invoice?

Answer 1

Open up also the controller class admin/controller/sale/order.php and check for the relevant parts where the $order['payment_address'] and $order['shipping_address'] are filled and comment out the appropriate lines (where the province is added to the string/array).
The same thing should also be done in the frontend - catalog/controller/account/order.php.
Should be something like this:
$find = array(
'{firstname}',
'{lastname}',
'{company}',
'{address_1}',
'{address_2}',
'{city}',
'{postcode}',
//'{zone}',
//'{zone_code}',
'{country}'
);
$replace = array(
'firstname' => $order_info['payment_firstname'],
'lastname' => $order_info['payment_lastname'],
'company' => $order_info['payment_company'],
'address_1' => $order_info['payment_address_1'],
'address_2' => $order_info['payment_address_2'],
'city' => $order_info['payment_city'],
'postcode' => $order_info['payment_postcode'],
//'zone' => $order_info['payment_zone'],
//'zone_code' => $order_info['payment_zone_code'],
'country' => $order_info['payment_country']
);
You would probably also have to change the format line from
$format = '{firstname} {lastname}' . "\n" . '{company}' . "\n" . '{address_1}' . "\n" . '{address_2}' . "\n" . '{city} {postcode}' . "\n" . '{zone}' . "\n" . '{country}';
to (see the /* and */ comment):
$format = '{firstname} {lastname}' . "\n" . '{company}' . "\n" . '{address_1}' . "\n" . '{address_2}' . "\n" . '{city} {postcode}' /*. "\n" . '{zone}'*/ . "\n" . '{country}';
To the comment:
Now I am not sure, it is possible that the addresses format is stored within an order after it is created. In that case, change the appropriate lines in controllers to these:
/*if ($order_info['payment_address_format']) { // <-- same for $order_info['shipping_address_format']
$format = $order_info['payment_address_format'];
} else {
$format = '{firstname} {lastname}' . "\n" . '{company}' . "\n" . '{address_1}' . "\n" . '{address_2}' . "\n" . '{city} {postcode}' . "\n" . '{zone}' . "\n" . '{country}';
}*/
$format = '{firstname} {lastname}' . "\n" . '{company}' . "\n" . '{address_1}' . "\n" . '{address_2}' . "\n" . '{city} {postcode}' /*. "\n" . '{zone}'*/ . "\n" . '{country}';

Answer 2

For me this solution works:
edit in: admin/controller/sale/order.php
$replace = array(
'firstname' => $order_info['shipping_firstname'],
'lastname' => $order_info['shipping_lastname'],
'company' => $order_info['shipping_company'],
'address_1' => $order_info['shipping_address_1'],
'address_2' => $order_info['shipping_address_2'],
'city' => $order_info['shipping_city'],
'postcode' => $order_info['shipping_postcode'],
//'zone' => $order_info['shipping_zone'],
//'zone_code' => $order_info['shipping_zone_code'],
'zone' => '',
'zone_code' => '',
'country' => $order_info['shipping_country']
First it didn't work, i thought it was a cache problem and clear all the cache, but it did not work. Then I searched on the request order_invoice and this was also used in /system/storage/modification/admin/controller/sale. After clear the modification cache it worked!
