Re: [Web-erp-developers] CVS

I guess if you changed any of the files in your local version of the cvs =
then did an update it would overwrite your changes.  Is that correct?

  cvs update

  this updates your copy to the latest files and only downloads the =
files that have changed so if only 1 file is changed then you dont need =
to get the whole lot downloaded again.

  I found the sourceforge instructions ok but then I guess I am using =
the command line more.

    Hi Rom,

    Well I can tell you what I've figured out so far about cvs.  Others =
can tell you more I'm sure.  If you are using Windows then this will be =
more helpful and if not then maybe someone else can fill in the Linux =
blanks.  Also, Phil has a link to the SourceForge cvs explanation =
although it's more convoluted and less practical than what I'll explain =
here. =20

    WinCVS seems to be the best so find it, download it and install it.  =
They have a link to it from SourceForge.  Now you are about half way =
there.  Go into WinCVS and click on Admin > Login.  Click on the General =
tab.  Fill in the following

    pserver
    /cvsroot/web-erp
    cvs.sf.net
    anonymous
    ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/web-erp

    I went to the Globals tab and checked Checkout read-only as well.  =
Don't honestly know if it's needed though.

    Next, click on Remote > Checkout module.  Type in web-erp in the top =
area then select a local folder where it will be downloaded.  Click OK =
and it should download the newest cvs version to the local folder.

    Voila!

    There are ways of updating your cvs, etc. but I have been keeping it =
simple.  I rename my local folder and then download a new copy.  I then =
use my awesome compare tool to see what has changed and to move my =
changes in from another copy I work with.

    Hope this helps.  I really don't know why the SourceForge =
instructions have to be so impractical.  They are enough to scare anyone =
off for good, I swear.  Anyway, that should get you started and you can =
go from there.

    Some others may be able to add some helpful hints.

    The idea is to know what files, tables and graphics you have changed =
and to give them to Phil.  He will look it over and put what he decides =
into the cvs.  Phil makes good decisions, except the one I don't agree =
with him about...hahaha...just kidding.

    After Phil moves the changes into the cvs it is good to download it =
and test to make sure whatever you did that he incorporated works =
correctly.=20

    Steve

      Hello Steve and All,

      =20

      =D8       I'm thinking that possibly you're working from the old =
interface.  Have you downloaded the most recent cvs?  By the way, if you =
haven't, they seem to be having trouble with it for the last week.  =
You'll either have to wait or=20

      =D8       maybe Phil has a copy that he could send.

      =20

      Yes, I did this based on the download version of webERP. I did not =
join the CVS efforts yet. Where should I start?

      =20

      =D8       The graphics are very good.  The font on the menu is too =
small as it displays on mine.  Do you mean to have the Selects in that =
Go To drop-down?=20

      =20

      Yes, it is quite small. I am still doing some work on it since =
there are 2 concerns in that part: 1) the description of the icons and =
2) the translation of it. I was thinking in maybe making the Modules =
Navigation a pull down menu. I don't know. All inputs are welcome :D.

      =20

      > Personally I'd like to drop the plus sign at the end of webERP =
as I think any punctuation makes it difficult for people to catch onto =
and readily communicate.  I believe a name that is represented the same =
everywhere and without > anything that hinders remembering it quickly =
and long term means it spreads quicker.  Especially in web searches, =
etc.  However, that's Phil's call. =20

      =20

      I just copy the actual way you write down the logo. As you said it =
is Phil's call. I just did a little redesign since "web" and "erp" are =
two different word and in languages like mine (Brazilian Portuguese) it =
sounds like one word. So it would be important, in my point of view (I =
can be wrong), to show that it is 2 words. I agree about the identity =
thing. One cannot change its name otherwise it looses it identity.

      =20

      > I find these days that several of the erp vendors have gone with =
pastel (calmer) shades as a color scheme.  In fact earth tones seem to =
be the "norm".  Accpac has varying shades of soft browns, blues (some =
harder)and greys > including their icons.  Great Plains uses soft to =
medium blues, greys, browns and soft, sort of grey/green.  Navision is =
soft blues and browns.  Possibly others may disagree.  Is it possible to =
reshade the graphics into a pastel > color scheme?

      =20

      I just copy and paste the icons in the interface. The green and =
orange makes it more commercial now-a-days, but I do agree with you that =
the pastels are more neutral and it is hard that people hates it. Who =
does not like pastels can easily ignore it. But my idea is the =
following: with CSS it is easy to change the main interface colors and =
we can do (as soon as we decide to use the Everaldo icons and the he =
sends to me the vector version of his icons so we can change the =
coloring on them) different versions of the icons for the different =
themes. So we can have 10 different versions of the coloring of the =
icons and much more combinations of the CSS schemes.

      =20

      Best regards,

      =20

        Dear All,

        =20

        I am designing a new look for the interface (I am doing the =
design job, so please don't mind the graphics) and would like to know =
your opinion about it:

        =20

        I kept all 3 navigations on it:

        =20

        - The icons are the navigation between modules;

        =20

        - The pull down menu is the navigation inside the modules (main =
menu and so on)

        =20

        - The items below are the same.

        =20

        The interface is good for 800x600, but it is possible to do a =
"slim" version that will fit in smaller screen widths.

        =20

        Please let me know your input,

        =20
