Definitely. This is where the user will set the language for =

Subject: [Web-erp-developers] User Settings
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.

Thanks for all the info, Dick. I will look at those other cvs clients. The only concern I would have is if it actually tries to intelligently merge code within the same file. I've seen the damage done by these types of mergers and would try to avoid doing that part. There is just no way for a machine to do that intelligently and I could explain why but it would be long winded.

When you are using windows, then I recommend tortoise as cvs client. It's not as advanced as wincvs, but it is much easier to use. It is integrated with the file explorer.

Sent: Monday, August 23, 2004 5:33 AM Subject: Re: [Web-erp-developers] New Look 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. 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.

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.

So we can have 10 different versions of the coloring of the icons and much more combinations of the CSS schemes.

Go to system setup - make a new login account with the permission set to customer logon only. Enter the customer code and branch code to which the goods ordered are to be sent. A login with this name will reveal only two options - account inquiry and place an order. The place an order still shows the quick entry grid by default (we should change this) but the search parts button changes this to allow selection of a category to browse parts by.

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. =20 Steve |

Hello, I am working on webERP, I downloaded & installed it on my system, it works fine. But I need to integrate an existing storefront in this system or would like webERP to act as a catalog for ordering online. What that storefront would be doing is very simple, webERP will handle all the transaction, authentication, cart system etc & storefront will only display the products which any user could browse but to order any of them he must log-in & order. Now my question is how could I do to it in webERP ? does anyone have any idea ? or on the other hand, I would say how could I display the categories & products using (as a catalog) using WebERP ?

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?

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

Yes, I did this based on the download version of webERP. I did not =

=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

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 =

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 =

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.

Steve, There is actually a variable in config.php called $Maximum_Number_Of_Parts_To_Show = 100; Perhaps we should change this variable to something more generic to cover customers, items, suppliers et al. Scripts that potentially list a pile of data are: Areas.php - expect only a limited number really BOMInquiry.php BankMatching.php - already has an option to allow a limited number of tranactions BankReconciliation.php - could be piles of outstanding unmatched transactions COGSGLPostings.php Currencies.php - should only be few but could be heaps.

Thanks Hani, at the mo I have a dummy gettext function that just returns the English string so it deals with a no gettext install by not being a multi-language system. This is a little blunt perhaps! I just updated to PHP 5 and understand that gettext doesn't actually work with the windows version at least. I will have to take out my dummy function to check!!

I am not the best php programmer, but I can do some coding and I am sure that I will learn a lot here. I am always open to learn more and I am not afraid of fixing mistakes of mine. Something I am good at is producing GUIs that are small in size and have harmony and are pleasant to look at. I try to keep it simple, as portable as I can and stable.

sending to everyone in this list?

Humm, you are right, I read some of this in the goals of the projects =
and definitely pull downs would require some JavaScript. Well, back to =
the design table :D

colors.

Thank you J

Could you please send to me a snapshot of the CVS version?

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.

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
http://www.primor.ind.br/i/weberp_01_18.08.2004.jpg
=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
Best Regards,

I very much agree with the new user and everyday user concept. The Selects (or Go to Drop-down) and hot keys will serve the everyday well. I'm not saying it's right but unfortunately a program, just like a book, will be judged by its cover most of the time. That's why Microsoft does so well.
