Current date to invoice

Posted July 29th, 2008 by paperinauha

Hi,

I'm creating an invoice for the customers, the invoice is made with a message that can be sent to customers.

I have created a message that has a plain text witch tells some basic information about the order and a HTML attachment witch is the real bill.

Is it possible to get the actual date to the invoice automatically?
So that in the HTML attachment (this is the real invoice sent to the customers) there would be the date when it is sent, not the date when the order has been made.
Or do I have to modify the invoice every time I'm sending it?

Hi.
If you want actual date of sending of the message automatically it does not work, you should write it manually.
Best regards,

Why not

Why not use....

$date_day$ Current date (day of month). ie 23
$date_month$ Current month. ie 11
$date_year$ Current year. ie. 2005

ie

Invoice Date: $date_day$/$date_month$/$date_year$
