Rom/Luca,

Its gone all quiet!

Are you back Luca? Are you with me on the translation?

Rom ... I was hoping you'd send me a translated messages.po for the
index.php so we could prove the gettext approach. Hope I have not
offended anyone?

[skaill <sk...@ro...>]

Sounds great!  Hopefully you will get more help in the future, Phil because
you (and webERP) deserve it ;)

I wanted to do a lookup or at least hard coded combo box for themes too ;)

Ah, the user name should be good.  Possibly could have a small Preferences
link beside their name instead but either way suffices.

Say, we build in Javascript drop-down menus but a user prefers the regular
menus and is used to them.  Possibly they are running on a slower machine,
PDA, etc. and find the Javascript too slow or doesn't work.  The Javascript
flag allows them to turn on or off the Javascript according to the device
they happen to be using and their own preference which is how they work
best.

Yes, I think that was the problem with those 4 scripts.

I will continue to include both diff and files in the future.  Whatever's
easier/fastest.

Re: [Web-erp-developers] StoreFront/Catalog and webERP

[Meraj R. K. <mrk...@ya...>]

Hi,

Steve/Phill thanks for your comments and help. Sorry
for not replying immediately as I was trying to make
store flow the way I would like it to function. I hope
 looking at store will help convey better than I could
express in words.   

Please read on for my reply which is inline.

We need both :-) if we can get away with it.

Agreed ! we wish if we could add a storefront to
webERP  which is easy to use and maintain for small
businesses.

Please see www.salaama.com, I would suggest you to
check the Software store and in that store Vector SOHO
3.2 as it has more complete flow of our store as
compare to other products in any store.

If you click at "Your Account" on top or "Login Here"
on the right or if you select any product by clicking
on "Buy This", all point to webERP login. Where you
can check it with the user id "testy" and password
"pakbill" (it is a customer login only account). Here
again you will find what was outside (before logging
in). Here if you select any item by clicking on "Buy
This" it should open the webERP ordering page (where a
user adds product in webERP to order). 

We would like here "Buy This" to add products to the
customer's order. Any help / tip / suggesstions about
the best way to acheive this.

Yes! this is the functionality which attracted us to
go for webERP though our size of operation can never
dream of using any ERP system. Thanks Phill :-)

What about this one. It is simple and template based

[Web-erp-developers] Re: Fw: Window Resize

[Phil D. <we...@pa...>]

Steve,

Many hearty thanks for your latest contributions - it feels absolutely
great not to be on my own with this anymore!

I included the lot of it with just a couple of mods. I put language in
the user settings script and made it look up the available directories
for theme and language rather than hard coding them. As discussed I
didn't see the requirement for the enable javascript option - this may
be my understanding - and I was not keen on the small / two storey quick
links. I used the user name as the link to user settings.

The scripts that didnt display properly I resolved by including
footer.inc and removing the </body></html> from these.

I changed references to mysql specific functions to the DB abstraction
functions DB_data_seek in ConnectDB.inc. I set $_POST['PageOffset'] = 1;
where there was a new search - an error was returned where the previous
page offset was too big for a smaller recordset returned with a new
search. Got into trouble with SelectProduct.php a bit you may want to
have another look but I couldnt get it to select an item. I eventually
got it working somewhat but its a bit of a hack with a check to make
sure the pageoffset is beyond the max - this caused an error

if ($_POST['PageOffset']>$ListPageMax){
  	$_POST['PageOffset'] = $ListPageMax;
}

Also the hidden $_POST['Search'] I removed in favour of checking Go,
Next and Previous.

I also tried to encapsulate all the strings in _("string") for
multi-language.

I do like the diff file to work through what was actually changed it
saves a massive amount of work really - so thanks for making it so easy!


If you'd like to, please do add some comment about your contributions in
a comment at the start of the script.

Re: [Web-erp-developers] Paging

[Daintrees <p.d...@pa...>]

You're right though some scripts are more likely to have longer lists. I
have pared the list down a little.

I think the multi-language stuff will work so I'll get into modifying a few
scripts for multi language - not on the list above.

Re: [Web-erp-developers] Paging

[skaill <sk...@ro...>]

I guess I did kind of change it without knowing to $DisplayRecordsMax.

I'm going to be working on paging the rest of that list of scripts!  Wish it
was shorter but if it was then webERP would not have so much
functionality!!!

I think maybe if you put a local php.ini file in the webERP directory then
it supercedes the main one on the server.  If so, in this way you can modify
the settings.

[Web-erp-developers] Re: [Web-erp-users] Re: RE: [web-erp - Open Discussion] RE: Wrong order outstdg quantity after placing PO - update

[Phil D. <ph...@du...>]

Stephane,

From the phpinfo.php of the two machines ... I see between the
sourceforge.net demo and the production servers are:

Sourceforge has:

PHP v 4.1.2  - v 4.3.4 in production
register_globals = On   - off in production server
Memory_limit =8M  - 40M in production - some larger reports choke without
extra RAM available.
y2k_compliance = Off - On in prodcuion server

session.gc_maxlifetime 3600  production server is only 1440 (security
logouts after an hour)

PHP as a module - I have it staticly compiled in.
It would be interesting to try these changes one at a time to figure this
out.

Phil

  Hi Phil,

  - Regarding Problem #1, I use external Adobe reader, and I can reproduce
this problem easily as long as I don't select the "Reprint Now" link. In
that case, the re-print works fine.
  But If I try to reprint as I have described, going through the "modify" of
PO num 42, the header of this PO will appear. Select "Allow Reprint" to
"Yes". Click on "enter line items". Then on
  "Update Order" (without modifying anything). This is just to go to the
page
  where you can reprint your PO. Then click on "Re-Print Order, then select
Print and OK.

  Have you tried this exact sequence ?

  - Problem #2, I understand now, but it is not very clear as it appears.

  - Problem #3, I wish you could fix this one, that'd be great.

  Thanks.

  Stephane.

Yes I see it and can repeat it now. It does not happen after the first
reprint it happens on subsequent reprints though.
I believe this will be something to do with the settings in php.ini since it
works no problem on a production server and my development server.

Re: [Web-erp-developers] User Settings

[skaill <sk...@ro...>]

The javascript switch was meant more for things like standard or alternate
(Javascript) drop-down menus.  Something that could screw up in Javascript.
If we have tested that the Javascript can not possibly screw up but just
doesn't work such as focus on a field then it sounds like we probably
wouldn't want that switched as you say.

Re: [Web-erp-developers] User Settings

[Phil D. <p.d...@pa...>]

I wonder if a setting for enable javascript is necessary - either it
works or it doesn't. Since we are only using javascript as gloss on  the
GUI the system should always be usable with just PHP - as I think we all
agree it is just that the focus and perhaps drop down menus could be
useful additions to the marketability stuff.

Well, just putting the focus in the starting field is not the end of the
world if it doesn't work and there is no PHP way of doing it (to my
knowledge - I did muck about with tabindex) but it would be good.

Re: [Web-erp-developers] User Settings

Not crazy about the footer.  I've put the user settings (preferences) up =
at the top along with the "system" functions menu, help and logout.  =
This also leaves more room for further fast access links.  What do you =
think?... http://weberp.gocom.ca/weberpcvstest.

        I have added user settings to my copy at =
http://weberp.gocom.ca/weberpcvstest.  The last menu option is Settings =
which is the current user's settings that they can modify.  There are =
only two settings right now: Number of Records to Display =
($DisplayRecordsMax) and Enable Javascript ($EnableJavascript).

        To see, try going to Select Customer then type in "a" to search =
for all records with an "a".  It will page according to the user's =
current settings.  Now, go into Settings > User Settings and modify =
Number of Records to Display.  Go back to Select Customer and search on =
"a" again.  Notice the paging has changed to what you changed.

        We now have an area for users to "customize" their environment.  =
Adding more user settings is easy.  This is assuming that Phil and =
others want it in the cvs...

        The settings get set in session.inc by using a $_SESSION =
variable.  In this way the settings are always handy.  When the user =
changes their settings they are updated in both database and session =
variable so it is on-the-fly changed.

Re: [Web-erp-developers] StoreFront/Catalog and webERP

[skaill <sk...@ro...>]

Phil can correct me if I get anything incorrect here.  It kind of depends on
whether you need customer access for ordering or a pretty web storefront for
advertising, selling, ordering and paying.  webERP, to the best of my
knowledge, is not setup to be a storefront, it is an accounting/business/ERP
system so the way the customer is going to see the products is the same as
the users in the company see them internally.  What webERP does already give
you is a common database for storage of products and orders.  It has
mechanisms to create and access orders.   It has authentication.  Plus
creating the web orders directly in webERP means they are ready to move
through all the various accounting without any double work and interfacing
being necessary.

If a nice storefront is needed then that is a separate beast.  You would
need to either:

1) Enhance webERP to present a nice web store front, display product and
organize this customer site in the ways that are appealing.

2) About the same mission as 1 but you take an existing store front and
combine it with webERP.

However, I doubt there is any cost effective solution out there that
provides both full accounting/erp system and fully functional storefront so
whichever system you used you would need to do the work explained above
anyway.  In my opinion you want to go with webERP because it's technology
and design make it easier to combine a storefront with it than other
systems.

Hopefully this helps.

Great!

Maybe this preferences could be displayed as a small link on every page =
by having it in the footer? I hate the idea of a whole new module just =
for user preferences with no other options.

CVS checks for conflicts and when it finds some, then it refuses to merge.
You have to merge then manually, because two developers changed the same
lines of the code.

The amounts of conflicts that it does detect can be reduced by merging
frequently to all branches.

Ofcourse does testing find the final issues, but when we use CVS right then
I am pretty sure that those issues are in 99% of the cases not caused by
CVS.

But ofcourse there will be a learning curve how to use CVS in a proper way.

When you still have some doubts, then please discuss it at
inf...@gn....

I would be pleased when you are able to define exactly in which cases CVS
damages the merging process without returning an  error/warning.
