send invoice attribute on action url causes invoice to be inserted on web form confirmation page

[JKA@4153]

Hi,

According to the BC documentation I can ensure that an invoice is sent once a web form is submitted if I add &SendInvoice=true to the action url of the form element. I have done this for a booking events web form and the invoice was successfully sent after submitting the form. The problem though is that in addition to sending the invoice by email, it also displays the invoice on the booking confirmation page. I only wanted the invoice to be sent by email but not display on the confirmation page so I wondered if anyone could tell me if there is a workaround for this?

Thanks in advance.

That is because you will have the webformresults module on that confirmation. You will need to remove the tags to stop the rendering.

Thanks for the reply,

Can you let me know if there is any other way to remove the invoice but keep the web form results?

Thanks

No, because it is part of the web form results.

[JKA@4153]

Ok thanks. Do you know if BC plans to allow customisation such as this one in the future? I just think it's very limited as it stands.

7+ years in and it is still as it is when it launched. That should give you and indication Low priority request.

You can "hide" the invoice part of the results using some on page css on the confirmation page targeting the invoice container.

Not all mail clients will comply with CSS hidden content for security reasons, further to that some will also block emails or mark them as spam for doing that. So an important note about doing that.

Thanks Liam,

That's true for email, but the question was about hiding it on the confirmation page - which should be fine in some css.
