How do I create print templates for the Monetra Client?

Templates must conform to XHTML style. However, we only support the subset of these tags. Listed below:

Receipts

The following print templates are valid:

  • Merchant - receipt_merchant.html
  • Customer - receipt_customer.html
  • Denied - receipt_denied.html

If any of these templates are not found but are enabled via the Printing Config screen then you will receive an error message.

Default templates are provided in the print_templates/receipt/default directory. Customers should put their own custom templates into print_templates/receipt/custom to prevent their templates from being overridden when performing a reinstall or upgrade of the application.

The following enable/disable checkboxes should appear in the Print Config screen:

  • Print Merchant Copy
  • Print Customer Copy
  • Print Denied Receipt

When pulling reports and re-printing receipts, the client should be able to figure out if it needs to print a denied or merchant/customer copy. If re-printing from reports then merchant/customer/denied copy choices should respected. If both merchant/customer are disabled and attempt to print is made, report error. If denied is disabled and a denied transaction is attempted to print, report error.
