The company logo was visible in the preview but not in the editor when
loading saved invoice templates. This was caused by Konva Image nodes
losing their image data after JSON deserialization.
Changes:
- Enhanced logo detection to use multiple methods (className, constructor,
instanceof) for robustness after deserialization
- Check all Image nodes, not just those with name='logo', in case the
name attribute is lost during serialization
- Detect Image nodes that should be logos (have dimensions but no image data)
- Improved error handling and logging for debugging
- Applied fix to both invoice and quote PDF layout templates
The logo images are now properly restored from LOGO_URL when loading
saved designs, making them visible in the editor as well as the preview.
- Fix logo becoming invisible after resize in designer by reloading images from URL when loading saved designs
- Fix logo size not being preserved by converting scale changes to width/height during resize
- Fix logo resizing for invoice PDF layouts with proper transformend event handling
- Fix PDF templates dropdown closing parent admin menu by keeping ancestor dropdowns open
- Fix JavaScript syntax error with Jinja2 template in logo rendering
- Fix logo display in preview with proper URL embedding
Add ability to mark time entries as paid and link them to internal invoice
numbers. Automatically mark time entries as paid when invoices are sent.
Database Changes:
- Add migration 083 to add `paid` boolean and `invoice_number` string columns
to time_entries table
- Add index on `paid` field for faster queries
Model Updates:
- Add `paid` (default: False) and `invoice_number` (nullable) fields to TimeEntry
- Add `set_paid()` helper method to TimeEntry model
- Update `to_dict()` to include paid status and invoice number
API & Service Layer:
- Update TimeEntrySchema (all variants) to include paid/invoice_number fields
- Update API endpoints (/api/entry, /api/v1/time-entries) to accept these fields
- Update TimeTrackingService and TimeEntryRepository to handle paid status
- Add InvoiceService.mark_time_entries_as_paid() to automatically mark entries
- Update InvoiceService.mark_as_sent() to auto-mark time entries as paid
UI Updates:
- Add "Paid" checkbox and "Invoice Number" input field to time entry edit forms
- Update both admin and regular user edit forms
- Fields appear in timer edit page after tags section
Invoice Integration:
- Automatically mark time entries as paid when invoice status changes to "sent"
- Mark entries when time is added to already-sent invoices
- Store invoice number reference on time entries for tracking
- Enhanced create_invoice_from_time_entries() to properly link time entries
This enables proper tracking of which hours have been invoiced and paid
through the internal invoicing system, separate from the external ERP system.
This commit addresses several issues with rich text display and the invoice
PDF layout editor:
Rich Text Rendering:
- Enhanced markdown filter to properly detect and preserve HTML content
from WYSIWYG editor, allowing full rich text styling (colors, fonts,
alignment) to be displayed correctly
- Improved HTML detection logic to distinguish between HTML and markdown
content, ensuring markdown lists are properly processed
- Added support for style, class, and id attributes on all rich text
elements (p, div, span, headings, lists, tables, etc.)
- Fixed list rendering in project/task descriptions with improved CSS:
- Added explicit display properties for lists
- Set proper list-style-type (disc for ul, decimal for ol)
- Improved spacing and nested list support
Invoice Editor Improvements:
- Fixed table header text extraction: now reads actual header text from
canvas elements instead of hardcoding English text, supporting
internationalization (e.g., German headers)
- Preserved text alignment (left, center, right) in generated preview
by reading Konva Text align attribute and applying text-align CSS
- Fixed PDF preview to show updated template:
- Changed generateCode() to return template body content instead of
full HTML document (matches preview endpoint expectations)
- Added cache-busting to preview requests to prevent stale content
- Improved error handling in preview fetch
Files changed:
- app/utils/template_filters.py: Enhanced markdown filter with HTML
detection and style preservation
- app/static/enhanced-ui.css: Improved list styling for prose content
- templates/admin/pdf_layout.html: Fixed table header extraction, text
alignment preservation, and preview generation format
- Enable direct editing of text elements within item/expenses tables
- Add double-click functionality to select and edit table text elements
- Add Ctrl/Cmd+Click to select individual text elements instead of parent group
- Improve text element detection using multiple methods (className, getType, constructor)
- Enhance event listeners with input, change, and paste handlers
- Add visual feedback: text cursor on hover over editable table text
- Increase textarea size to 8 rows for table items (from 3)
- Properly escape HTML special characters in text content
- Add helpful hint text for table text editing
- Fix text content conversion: handle \\n to actual newlines correctly
- Fix keyboard shortcuts to respect text input focus
* Delete/Backspace only removes elements when not editing text fields
* Arrow keys only move elements when not editing text fields
* Prevents accidental deletion while typing in properties panel
- Add full editing support for items table and expenses table
* Properties panel now shows editable fields for table Groups
* Supports editing header text, font size, font style, and color
* Supports editing items template, font size, and color
* Supports editing separator line color and width
* Supports editing table width
- Fix table selection behavior
* Clicking on child elements (header, items, line) now selects parent Group
* Ensures table can be selected and edited from any part
* Adds click handlers to all child elements when creating tables
- Improve error handling and debugging
* Add comprehensive logging for troubleshooting
* Add try-catch blocks for table property processing
* Add fallback display for unrecognized Groups
This fixes the issue where users couldn't edit table properties and
prevents frustrating accidental deletions while typing in input fields.
The PDF layout editor was displaying the canvas at actual page dimensions (595x842px for A4) without scaling to fit the container, causing the canvas to appear compressed and making it difficult to position elements accurately. When generating PDFs, fields would appear compressed in a small space instead of utilizing the full page width.
Changes:
- Add auto-fit scaling function that calculates optimal scale to fit canvas within container while maintaining aspect ratio
- Center canvas in container using flexbox CSS
- Update zoom controls to work with base fit scale (zoom applies on top of auto-fit)
- Ensure saved designs are properly refitted when loaded
- Add window resize handler to refit canvas on container size changes
The coordinate system remains in actual page dimensions (72 DPI), ensuring that elements positioned in the editor match their positions in generated PDFs. The visual representation is now properly scaled to fit the container, making the editor more user-friendly while maintaining accurate PDF generation.
Fixes issue where canvas appeared smaller than actual page size, causing compression when generating invoices.

PDF Generation:
- Updated InvoicePDFGenerator to accept page_size parameter
- Dynamic @page rule updates in CSS based on selected size
- Removed conflicting @page rules from HTML inline styles when separate
CSS exists
- Template content preserved exactly as saved (no whitespace stripping)
- Fallback logic: size-specific template → legacy Settings template → default
UI/UX Improvements:
- Styled page size selector to match app theme with dark mode support
- Fixed canvas editor header styling and readability
- Canvas correctly resizes when switching between page sizes
- Unsaved changes confirmation uses app's standard modal
- All editor controls properly styled for dark/light mode
- Preview opens in modal instead of small side window
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed migration KeyError by correcting down_revision reference
- Fixed DatatypeMismatch error by using boolean TRUE instead of integer
- Fixed template content mismatch (logo positions) by preserving HTML
- Fixed page size not being applied by ensuring @page rules are updated
- Fixed f-string syntax error in _generate_css by using .format() instead
