Typically the invoice is e-mailed to the client after the transaction is completed. There is currently no facility to show the invoice in the browser at that time, although you can enter a URL to redirect to on completion of an order, so you could set that the 'My Invoices' page if you want (but that might not be much use if the client is not logged in).

For the PDF generator, make sure the /cache/ and /out/ folders are both writable by the user PHP runs under. If it still is not working, try re-downloading the pdfwriter script, and re-uploading it to your site in case any files got corrupted.

I mean to define somwhere, that generation should take place in a position i say which.On what base is generated the invoice in "my orders" for example.Somewhere is defined to generate there.So in the same way i want to define to generate where i want.

Sorry, I'm still not following you. You cannot generate invoices from the 'My Orders' page. You can only generate invoices in the back end, not through the website front end. The invoices that have been created for a particular client are listed on their 'My Invoices' page, and they cannot be shown anywhere else (not without a significant amount of customisation anyway).

That's what i have asked you.If it's difficult to customise in order to be shown where i want.But you say it is.And what exactly should be customised?
Because perhaphs there will be persons who won't have e-mails.Not everybody must have an e-mail.I alsoconsider to set not required the e-mail form.I know persons who doesen't have e-mail adress.Well,that means that that persons won't be able to buy?Because if the invoice is shown in frontend ehere i said there is no problem for nobody.And even if you have an e-mail adress is more simple to take the invoice form the frontend just after submiting the form.A lot of sites has included this feature.
In all cases this is a very good component and a complete one...this is my sincer opinion.But it would have been perfect for me with this feature :)
Anyway it's awesome!

Ok, I see where you are coming from now. I will move this thread to the suggestions board for future consideration.

That is not something I can provide instructions for - it would require writing your own script to load the invoice data from the database and display it to the user. I'm not even sure it is possible in the current version. It would require investigation which I don't have time for right now, sorry.
