Hi

I've read about phpbms and see lots of recommendations. However two
things are really frustrating me.

1)I have tried to create a client and am stuck on an error - invalid
phone format when trying to submit.  I have tried all the localisation
alternatives with no luck.  Please, it would be good of someone to
include the format of (UK loose) for instance so that I can follow
that - there is nothing in FAQ, the manual or forums which tell you in
plain english what format is for each.

2) When trying to subcribe to forum on first attempt, there is no
picture at the bottom to enter the code to submit! Upon trying anyway,
I get an error but then the code shows but no matter how I put that
code in I still get errors.

Thank you
M

(Posted to the forums as well. The thread is:
http://www.phpbms.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=469.)

I think I've got this half-way figured out now.

I created a sales order with a product called "Credit" and placed the item
price as $-25.00. The Payment Method is set to "PayPal - Deposit" which is a
receivable type. Next, I used the "post as invoice" feature. This then
raised the available credit of the client to $25.00.

Am I missing anything here? Should I be working in the receipt section at
all?

I've posted a question on the phpbms forums in the Features, Issues & Bugs
section, however I would also like to post a copy here to see if that will
result in a quicker response. A copy of my post can be found on the forums:
http://www.phpbms.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=469.

I'm trying to setup credits, let me give a little background.

We run a LAN party and are looking to take PayPal payments in prior to each
months event. We will then credit the amount to the attendee's account. For
this scenario:

John Doe sends $25.00 to our PayPal account
We issue a credit for $25.00
John Doe purchases a general admission ticket ($15.00)
John Doe purchases a drink ($1.00)

How would I go about issuing those credits and debits? I have unsuccessfully
tried to issue credits through the Receipts system, but I don't believe I'm
fully grasping the concept. Additionally, clients I have attempted to credit
now have a -$50 credit on their account, versus the $25.

Basically, I want to be able to set an amount the person can spend, and
dynamically update it as they send in more funds.

I appreciate any assistance, and if this app is able to meet our needs, we
look forward to donating (if you all are accepting donations).

Thanks,
Tomas

I initially had a problem with this too but didn't take any notes as
to what fixed it.  Are you seeing anything in your Apache error logs?

Scott -

When I was first messing around with AR Items, I believe you actually
need to post the payments.  Once you generate the receipts you need to
again mark those items and then choose "mark as collected" from the
arrow icon (on the main receipts page).

Hope this helps!  The AR stuff is confusing at first glance.  I'm
actually going to be playing around with it more in the coming months
to move back to that method.  I've been just generating invoices and
marking them paid for simplicities sake but then aging accounts become
a pain to manage come billing dates.

Greetings again!

I've mostly resolved the other issues now, I think it was more a 
familiarisation problem than anything else. I've got a slight problem 
with generating emails though, it always provides the error message when 
trying to send an invoice out via email that:

"0 of 1 invoice PDF e-mailed to client. "

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Scott.

I've narrowed it down a little more, in the 'aritems' and 'invoices' 
tables, the amount paid isn't being recorded. Is there a method within 
the software, to enable me to mark invoices that were sent as AR as 
being paid in full?

Greetings,

I've been using your software for a little while now, and its working 
brilliant. I've just started allowing clients credit limits, and net 
terms and I've encountered a little problem.

After posting a sales order as an invoice to AR, and then adding a 
payment which covers the outstanding amount of the invoice, in Sales 
Order view, its still showing the full amount being due.

I've looked into the AR item, and its showing the payments as "Pending 
Payments (non-posted)". How do I modify this to accept the payments as 
being cleared?

I'm hoping this is just something I've simply missed :)

Thanks,

Scott.

Greetings Folks,

I'd prefer to store passwords as hashes within the client table, rather 
than plaintext. Is there a quick fix for this and if not where should I 
look to modify it?

Scott.

hi

Hi All,

I try to install phpbms on a windows XP system with SP2. latest apache and
mysql and running php5. All sites are running fine.
When i install phpbms 7.0, or install an other version wich runs on linux
and install it on my windows system, the installation goes flawless.
But reaching the login page and entering the correct user/pass, it keeps
giving me the login page. No error in the log-table and no errors in my log
files of apache.
When entering a wrong user/pass, i get an message in the login page that the
user is not correct.

Does anyone has a similar problem?

btw, it does run correctly on linux.

Thanks in advance,

Henk.

Just an FYI...

I'm here, but by far the best way to reach me is through this list as 
lists are more of what I am accustom to. I must have somehow missed the 
email notification on a private message from the forum. I will send you 
a response but these questions are best asked openly in the mailing list 
or forum discussion. ;) That way if I miss the notification like I did 
here, somebody else who is familiar with phpbms can quickly give you a 
response to your question.

I posted a message on the forum and haven't heard back yet.  I think I 
sent it to *mipalmer*, but looking in my sent box I see nothing.  Are

phpBMS is a PHP, MySQL based billing, scheduling, and client management 
system. Features include PDF generation for printing, mass e-mailing to 
clients, repeatable task and event handling, and quote/order/invoice 
tracking.  

This is a minor bug fix release, but in also highlights our project page 
conversion to http://www.phpbms.org where we have implemented a great 
ticket tracking program (trac) with integrated svn information, and 
better forum support. 

You can find the latest release at:  
http://www.phpbms.org/

Hello,

I just wanted to update everybody on the new project site we put up for 
phpbms.

Project Site
http://www.phpbms.org

Subversion
http://www.phpbms.org/svn

Submitting Tickets
http://www.phpbms.org/newticket

Roadmap
http://www.phpbms.org/roadmap

User Forums
http://www.phpbms.org/forum

Be sure to submit new tickets and feature request to this location so it 
can be added into the milestones. I know some of you already did this 
and we have tried to copy all open tickets over from the old site to 
this new one. If you see anything we missed please submit it so we can 
add it to the appropriate release.

Thanks,
Mike

Alright, the new SVN server is here. You can use svn's relocation 
function if your still sitting on the old repository location and want 
to move what you've checked out to point at the new location.
http://209.150.87.128/svn

Also, Brian, John and I just got done setting up trac for the bug 
tracking and project status. We will be turning off the sourceforge 
sections and point all that here sometime soon. (so submit any bugs and 
patches here from now on)
http://209.150.87.128/trac

We still need to setup the notification and probably get some A records 
setup for this new server.

I just got done talking with Brian. There is still a little bit of work 
that needs to be done on the new server. This week we should be setting 
up a better tracking system (like trac) as well as getting the svn 
repositories moved onto the new server. Hopefully this will allow a 
better interface for submitting patches as well as letting us track the 
bugs more easily. So wait a couple days (weekend at the latest) and I 
think we should have everything in place.

Thanks
Mike

It went down as a result to the servers moving. Let me check with Brian 
about the status on this and I will post the new location once I know.

I've noticed that the SVN repository has been unreachable.

Anybody else having this trouble?

Has it moved?

I'm wanting to update my local patches and submit before the next
release.

Yes... Thanks. That is what I meant. I just realized that could be

By "not going anywhere", Mike means that it is not going away. ;)

Andi, its not going anywhere, its just sitting there right now due to
other obligations.

Brian has been busy trying to get through some other projects right now.
He is the main developer and unfortunately paying customers have to come
first so he can pay the bills. The good news here is that he uses it for
his business and that means it shouldn't stop being developed unless the
unforeseeable should happen.

Then me, I have been dealing with merging 2 corps computer systems
together after a buyout. It seems like it takes up an incredible amount of
time. I won't even get into what happens once I'm done doing this but I'm
fairly certain it equates to me having some free time on my hands. I have
talked with Brian about internationalizing phpbms and I think that is
where I'd like to start back into it.

So if I had to guess, I will most likely start working on that sometime
next month.

-Mike

Hey everyone, is the project still active?

I only found it a few days ago, however, it seems to have been a while
since anything was released.  Just thought it would be worth checking
before entering all my contacts.

Thanks,

Andi
