Create a Thermal Printer Button in Store Owner Side

soodomaa

Currently the "Print Thermal Bill" (green color) is only available in the Admin side. Is there a way to be also available in the store owner side?. @Bobelism I think you can do it. Can help us bro, please... I already asked the author about this, but he is quite occupied with some other bigger things in the core. 🙂

Look for file: /resources/views/restaurantowner/viewOrder.blade.php
Look for this line:

<a href="javascript:void(0)" id="printButton" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary my-2" style="color: #fff; border: 1px solid #ccc; float: right;border-radius: 8px;"><i class="icon-printer mr-1"></i> Print Bill</a>

After it, on the second line, paste the following code:

<a href="{{ route('admin.printThermalBill', $order->unique_order_id) }}" id="printButton" class="btn btn-sm btn-success my-2 mx-2" style="color: #fff; border: 1px solid #ccc; float: right;border-radius: 8px;"><i class="icon-printer mr-1"></i> Print Thermal Bill</a>

Your code should look now like this:


            <a href="javascript:void(0)" id="printButton" class="btn btn-sm btn-primary my-2" style="color: #fff; border: 1px solid #ccc; float: right;border-radius: 8px;"><i class="icon-printer mr-1"></i> Print Bill</a>
            <a href="{{ route('admin.printThermalBill', $order->unique_order_id) }}" id="printButton" class="btn btn-sm btn-success my-2 mx-2" style="color: #fff; border: 1px solid #ccc; float: right;border-radius: 8px;"><i class="icon-printer mr-1"></i> Print Thermal Bill</a>
                <div class="clearfix"></div>

Next, find the file /routes/storeroutes.php
Look for line 59 or for the code:

Route::get('/order/{order_id}', 'RestaurantOwnerController@viewOrder')->name('restaurant.viewOrder');

After it, paste the following line:

Route::get('/printbill/{order_id}', 'AdminController@printThermalBill')->name('admin.printThermalBill');

Enjoy 🙂

Bobelism Thanks for the above code. But I had a small problem when I add above code in the specified files I can able to use thermal print bill option from store managers dashboard, But am not able to use thermal print bill from Owners dashboard.

i.e; When I click thermal print button from admin dashboard after adding above code it is redirecting to admin dashboard page rather than printing bill.

I hope @soodomaa you are also facing this same .

If you don't mind can you fix these.

You need to replace the line which displays the thermal print button from viewOrder.blade.php with this:

<a href="https://YOUR_WEBSITE_DOMAIN/public/admin/printbill/{{ $order->unique_order_id }}" id="printButton" class="btn btn-sm btn-success my-2 mx-2" style="color: #fff; border: 1px solid #ccc; float: right;border-radius: 8px;"><i class="icon-printer mr-1"></i> Print Thermal Bill</a>

Replace YOUR_WEBSITE_DOMAIN with your domain, for ex https://foodomaa.com
I didn't have time to get the exact route so i made it manually as this. It should work tho...

@Bobelism Hello friend, this button is of great help, in my case I followed all your steps, but when I wanted to open thermal printing, I got a 404 not found error. You could tell me that I'm doing wrong it's like I don't have permissions.
