I have a custom invoice template (see https://drupal.org/node/1047638#comment-5587922 ) and when a customer completes checkout they get the correctly themed invoice (via my site theme template.php and custom order.tpl.php
However, if an admin creates and order and enters a payment for an over-the-counter transaction, the order invoice that is sent out is not the custom one.
Both scenarios trigger uc_order_action_email_invoice() from uc_order.rules.inc with the same parameters but the invoices generated a distinct. What I assume is happening is that the admin theme (seven) has no visibility of the custom invoice template where as my site theme does.
How can I get the custom invoice template used in both scenarious?

Comment #1
jonathan_hunt commentedI've worked around this by making a local copy of the seven theme (used for admin) and mapping to my template.php overrides.
This still seems like a UX/DX problem because setting a custom template via the settings UI for the uc_checkout_customer_notification rule lulls an administrator into thinking that setting will apply site-wide, when in fact it appears to be theme-dependent.

longwaveUbercart does use hook_admin_paths() to address this issue when viewing invoices on screen, but looks like we need some further code to handle emails that are sent by Rules.
Comment #3
Rafal LukawieckiI can confirm I am experiencing this issue when invoices are sent as a result of a rule triggered after order status update. The workaround to subtheme an admin theme and to place a copy of the invoice templates in there has worked for me, too. Thank you.
Comment #4
longwaveI'm looking into hook_theme_registry_alter() for unrelated reasons but realised perhaps that could be a solution to this issue, if we can somehow force the admin theme to use template suggestions from another theme.
Comment #5
Rafal LukawieckiPardon my ignorance, but I noticed that the most recent release of mailsystem module has an option that allows specifying which theme is in force when it handles email. Could that be of use?
Comment #6
longwaveSo if you install mailsystem and use that option, does that fix this issue? If so, perhaps we can borrow the code and include it directly in Ubercart.
