Are you ready? Follow me.
Before you do anything else, please make sure backup your website / your file first. When you done, let's go.
I - Modify function getFilename()
Open and edit function getFilename() in your-website/classes/pdf/HTMLTemplateInvoice.php by using your favourite editor.
II - Get the customer object.
Find getFilename() function (line 500):
public function getFilename()
{
$id_lang = Context::getContext()->language->id;
$id_shop = (int)$this->order->id_shop;
$format = '%1$s%2$06d';
Change it to:
public function getFilename()
{
$id_lang = Context::getContext()->language->id;
$id_shop = (int)$this->order->id_shop;
$format = '%1$s%2$06d';
$customer = new Customer((int)$this->order->id_customer);
III - Return with the name and the number.
Look into this code:
return sprintf(
$format,
Configuration::get('PS_INVOICE_PREFIX', $id_lang, null, $id_shop),
$this->order_invoice->number,
date('Y', strtotime($this->order_invoice->date_add))
).'.pdf';
Change it to:
return sprintf(
$format,
Configuration::get('PS_INVOICE_PREFIX', $id_lang, null, $id_shop),
$this->order_invoice->number,
date('Y', strtotime($this->order_invoice->date_add))
).''.$customer->firstname.''.$customer->lastname.'.pdf';
Final - Enjoy your result
The invoice name will be IN_number_customername.pdf. For example : IN000001_Natalia_Eva.pdf.
