Re: [SQL-Ledger-users] what is the change log of new 1.2.8 ?

[Thomas S. <ps...@on...>]

Dieter,

Just downloaded 1.2.8 and I'm wonderering if there is anything I'll need
to worry about in integrating it into my changes. The scripts I've changed
so far are the login.cgi and, slightly, the admin.cgi. Does the new version
effect these in any way?

Here are my changes, in summary, they are mostly asthetic changes, but
they do make the program a little easier to navigate. Please try out
these changes (in a dummy setup) and see what you think. I don't know
where these might conflict with 1.4 but I you could integrate these changes
I think SQL-Ledger will be well served. Thanks.

Images:

I changed the Login screen to be cleaner looking. I made a new graphic
(sql-ledger-2.png) that's curretnly a bit U.S.A. oriented but I would
like to change other characters in it to be different currency symbols
as well (currently the S in SQL is a dollar sign, but I would like a
pound symbol for the L, etc.) Unfortunately I couldn't find those symbols
in the Gimp. But its a start and I think it makes a good logo. I also
took your origonal graphic and touched it up (sql-ledger-1b.png), and
kept it on the old Version page of login.cgi. I renamed you original
graphic sql-ledger-1a.gif, but its not being used now. Also I MOVED THESE
THREE GRAPHIC FILES TO AN "images" DIRECTORY instead of having them in
the main directory, keeping in mind that in the future more graphic images
may be added and it would be good to keep them seperate. Finally, on
images, I used .png instead of .gif because .gif is not an open-source
format. And this is an open-source project! :)

Login:

You will see that I rearranged the login window a bit to bring the login
prompts closer to the top of the page. I think they are more readily
available in that position.

Menus:

I also rearranged the menus a little by taking the links in the bottom
section and moving them to the side section under a heading of Administration.
I increased the size of the side bar a little. I also renamed Version
to About, since it contains more than just the version. Rather than Accounting
at the top of the menu I put Main Menu and increased the font size one.
There were a number of places where I put in absolute font sizes instead
or relative + or - sizes, since realtive make it difficult to know what
the size will be just from the code. On the admin.cgi menu I put a "Back
to Main Menu" link under the Setup Menu header, which I increased in
size by one too. The bottom section now just contains the User's Name,
and is a little bigger to remove the scroll bar that appears to the right.
I would like to Add the current date and time to the right side of this
section, but hadn't gotten to it yet.

Finally:

For the wording changes I made I did not correct any of the translation
files. And I forgot to wrap the "locate" around a couple of place in
the login screen. These will obviously need to be done. 

Also you will notice two new main menu options, one for Sales Orders
and the other for Search Sales Orders. I'm working on the scripts for
these, and I'm fairly well along actually. For now just ignore them and
I will send them to you when I'm done.
