Working well with my client on tracking hourly costs. But she doesn’t want my hourly rate or hours spent on the invoice? So needing some help pretty quick due to I have quite a bit of invoices that I need to get there way. So any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance,

Pat

That’s kind of a weird request from a client.

Nevertheless, what you’ll need to do is probably create an alternate template for invoices that hides those fields.

Here’s an overview of that process.

• Copy html_invoice into a text editor
• Remove the HTML for hourly rate / hours spent
• Create a new template called “html_invoice_no_hours” (or something like that)
• Paste in your edited template and save
• Edit the invoice for your client and select your new template from the display template select menu
• Save and view your new template in use

Thanks Seth, Ill give it a try and hope I dont screw anything up while attempting.

OK, I took a look…. and I have no idea how and what your talking about… So would it be possible for you to create this new template and send it to me. I just dont know enough about that type of thing and would hate to screw something up. Creative attempt wouldnt scare me, but being it for accounting purposes, scares the hell out of me…

I have no problem paying you for your time, I could send it to you paypal? just let me know what you think and we will go from there.

Thanks Seth,

Pat,

I don’t make it a habit to edit customer’s templates but I was grabbing a coffee this morning and this was a really quick thing to do.

I’ve pasted the results here. You can grab the raw text file here, which is good for copy / pasting.

You’ll need to create 2 new templates under the Settings > Templates screen – one called ‘html_invoice_no_hourly’ which you’ll paste the top section into. Then, create another called ‘invoice_row_no_hourly’ and paste the second section.

Finally, go to whatever invoice you’d like to use this template on and click edit. Select the new template ‘html_invoice_no_hourly’ from the drop-down menu and save.
