@bzero Why you need ERPNext version 5?
You can install latest version of ERPNext v6.

Please follow this instruction to install ERPNext v6

You can also download ERPNext pre-installed Image from here.

for the first error its not with PDF, you have to check the variables your using in jinja template…

in the first line i dont know what you used in full but you have to use {{doc.transaction_date}} instead of offer_date unless you added offer date as custom field because i cant see offer date in the form options
(http://domain.domain/desk#Form/Customize%20Form/)

for the second error:

you have to check wkhtmltopdf andn test if its working probably first:
$ ./wkhtmltopdf-amd64 http://www.google.com example.pdf

if there was no errors then you have to try bench update

Thanks all for your advise.

@kolate_sambhaji: That’s good.
I am following your link to install ERPNext v6 on top of existing v5, same system.
Do you think is it good to do that way? Do i need to delete the v5 first?

@ramielian:
Sure, i will test it soon, cause i am install v6.

In this case, you can backup your site database and update v5 to latest v6.

Make sure you have backup.

Hi all,

i’d like update the thread. After reinstalling following the official instruction, this solved my issue.

I just want to know how could i custom display the Customer’s address. Currently, it displays as multi rows for Address, City, State, Zipcode and Country ?

Thanks a lot.

this could be related to another element, so i would marked this ticket as solved :smile:
Thanks!

@bzero you should actually open new topic but this is the answer below:

you can use two ways:

  1. the easy way: adjust the address template in the ERP to your liking:
    http://domain.domain/desk#List/Address%20Template

  2. you can use linking method via Jinja template to ask for only some information or divide the information to cells…
