[SQL-Ledger-users] PHP port

[Michael D. <mi...@mi...>]

Hi folks,

until now I resited but since the topic of PHP and some
other things came up several times allready ......

In no way I want to start any language/os/db discussion.

Last year I started to do a little project for a friend. He is running 
a motorbike repair shop and needs a management system for his business.

I started doing this in PHP and found SQL-Ledger when I had allready done 
quite a bit of coding. So I decided to integrate SQL-Ledger into
my project by porting it to PHP. It's maybe 80% finished and I stopped
working on this aspect for the moment because I needed to have other 
functionality working before this. Finishing the accounting is now maybe 
the 2nd or 3rd item on my list, so it should not be to long....

I decided not to mix perl and PHP to avoid complexity and because I had 
to make some changes to make it fit with the stuff I did before anyhow.

If you want to look at it goto: 

http://www.michaeldiehl/com/~michael/etc and try QDERP and QDERP
with a drop down menu. Try the frame version with the tree menu first;
it's more stable.

The login information is sqlledger/sqlledger. Use instance "000".
The translation is db based, so if you don't use english and there
are no entries maintained you'll see english anyhow.

Please don't delete anything and don't change the menu  so that other 
people can use the same account. 

I have two pop-up functions which might be interesting to port back
to perl:

1) calendar pop-up (to see it working go to "Master Data"->"Mat./Ser."
->"Create" and click on the "?" next to a date field.

2) generic search help (example on the same screen, the "?" next
to the vendor field)

There was a dicussion about finding Materials some time ago on the list.
Of course, with something like this you can't use text based browsers 
anymore....


There is a link to reports bug as well, if you feel like this, and even
a little bit of documentation. The README under documentation gives an
overview of the existing and planned features.

Since the stuff is not really in a releaseable state I've put a password
on the download link (sqlledger/sqlledger). The files are updated every night
so don't exspect everything to work.


Have fun, Michael
