[Web-erp-developers] Serial Stuff

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

Jesse,

The new InputSerialItems.php include file doesn't work quite right with some 
of the other scripts ...

ConfirmDispatchControlled_Invoice.php for one - and I suspect those where 
stock is going out that have the multi-select list box in them.

Re: [Web-erp-developers] Technical / User Help

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

Type as opposed to flag for custom, user and technical.  Rest of
functionality can come later.  I was thinking for now could just append
user, custom then technical...if each exists.

Custom lets them add without changing base.  Also can have admin access to
user but payroll clerk access for custom.  I mean you could have even by
user id so each user can add their own notes that make sense to them.

[Web-erp-developers] CVS and binaries

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

I think I cracked this. However, I can't test it because it needs a windows 
checkout !

If you could let me know if there is still trouble Dick that would be good.

[Web-erp-developers] Technical / User Help

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

Perhaps a flag in the table - for technical or user -and an option -
defaulting to user to show technical help or user help? We could do this
retrospectively when we start getting some help records

Re: [Web-erp-developers] CVS updates

What do you think about splitting technical and user into two separate
records, Phil?  It will come in much handier in the future I think.

[Web-erp-developers] Help System

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

I don't have any restrictions on viewing or editing/deleting the help at the
moment but thats easy enough to change. At this stage I'll take whatever
anyone wants to contribute!

Since the help record is echo'ed to the browser html stuff will be rendered
ok - but php will not be parsed by the server.

Re: [Web-erp-developers] CVS updates

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

One other thing about this help system.  Since it is user/admin input into
records and regenerated into an html page, the code needs to be cautious
about what html and php commands are used, if any.  Some are handy, and many
forum packages allow such as phpbb including commands like bold, highlight,
paragraph, list, etc.  Of course, for paragraph there is a php command that
can recognize them and format appropriately.

If only admin has access then not too dangerous but still probably good to
keep people from shooting themselves in the foot!

Re: [Web-erp-developers] CVS updates

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

Yes, I understand what you're saying.  The manual is more technical than
user friendly.  At this point I am not familiar enough with the use of the
system to do the online help in a user way.  I would actually suggest
eventually simple explanation, many times with step by step and possible
example data.

Expanding the thought below, maybe we could have another record for each
page that is technical.  I know some of the leading erp softwares do provide
both online.

I can get the chunks from the manual in if wanted but would appreciate if
you could look to make sure I got all and in the right place.

Yep, thats what I did. This new script Help.php has a textarea for entry of
new help records.
Just nothing in the help table yet.

Now thats an area I'd really appreciate some help with. Followed by a dump

the manual though is kind of more a how it works manual than a step by step
this is how you do it tutorial. I guess I am seeing a difference between the
online help and the manual in this sense. Although heck there's no reason
why the online help can't include the higher level descriptions of what is
going on too. I personally need to understand the workings of things to be
able to operate them effectively. I guess this is why the manual is the way
it is.

[Web-erp-developers] Stocks.php

[Chris B. <cb...@en...>]

I was wondering about an easy way to replicate this script to allow for
preset defaults, for example, I only want the Item Code, and Short Part
Description, the rest will be hidden defaults.  I need the ability to
add parts "on the fly".  With a scan gun.  I know this may not be a
"good" idea, but it is one I have to do.

Thanks

Chris

Re: [Web-erp-developers] Re: [web-erp - Open Discussion] RE: Lists

[Stins, D. <DR...@Zi...>]

Steve,

You are right. When you do not use the checked out binaries (imageg, ...)
but only scripts then it is a good workaround.

Ofcourse it would be an improvement when the binaries are inserted in to CVS
as binaries.

I read that you are using a diff utility. Tip: you can also use CVS for
this! CVS has proper diff utilities and merge utilities.

With best regards,

Dick Stins

Re: [Web-erp-developers] CVS updates

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

Beauty!  We could incorporate a facility I have already done for users to
update help.  It's basic.  A screen with a huge text box and Save/Cancel
kind of thing.  I'll have to figure out the css to get it looking like the
rest of the system unless someone else with some time and experience with
webERP could do that part.  Does this sound good?

Once that's in place it won't be too difficult to copy and paste chunks from
the manual(s) into the various script help areas/records to get started.

Just a thought at this point.  It would be nice if eventually we could have
a process that knew how to go through an updated manual, clip the chunks and
update the help records.  Possibly it could work by table of contents titles
or some kind of indicator.  Kind of like anchors.  This is not a first
priority but would be nice.  This would only work if user added help was
kept separate from default help though.  We could give user/admin access to
modify each of 2 records for each script that get concatenated when
displayed with default help then user help.  If they modify default help
then they just don't ever use the function to update help automatically.  Or
we could explain how they need to modify/replace the manual then run
automatic update.

Re: [Web-erp-developers] Re: [web-erp - Open Discussion] RE: Lists

Hi Dick,

I won't be doing anything with the images for the development I'm doing
except possibly moving their position.  For now, if I download (checkout)
using WinCVS, copy good images to the proper folder, do my development and
send Phil the diff then the problem with images won't matter, will it?

In other words, I'm thinking the diff will only be the code changes and
therefore not do anything to the images.  I think I'll know more once I've
finished the document on cvs that I've only read half of plus played around
with WinCVS.

At some point soon I'll see if I can also remind Phil about getting the
images into binary form ;)

Phil's definitely using a Linux machine and I believe the built in cvs with
it.

[Web-erp-developers] CVS updates

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

Following a discussion with Steve yesterday I added the following ...

header.inc now shows the database name and the Real User Name on each page

header.inc also shows another link to Help which calls a new script ... called 
Help.php this relies on two new tables Scripts and Help (....predictably ;-)
The Scripts table lists all scripts with a basic description of their function 
(no includes in here only first line scripts) together with a PageID and the 
filename. The Help.php looks up the filename to get the overview of the page 
and then retrieves the help records based on the PageID.

Users can add, edit or delete help at will.

Just a little shy on data for the Help table.

Phil

Re: [Web-erp-developers] Re: [web-erp - Open Discussion] RE: Lists

[Stins, D. <DR...@Zi...>]

Steve,

Images and other binaries like .doc and .... do need to be inserted  in CVS
as binaries (special option), otherwise they will contain errors when they
are checked out. Only in special conditions (Phil seems to hava no problems
with it) there no errors. I guess that the condition is that when it is
inserted and checked out at the same platform, then have a chance that this
is no issue.

Allthough I already asked Phil to insert binaries as binaries to CVS, I
guess he had other priorities and it still has to be done.

With best regards,

Dick Sitns

Yes that sounds right - I'm not sure how it works on windows - think someone 
reported an issue with downloading the images off sourceforge there is some 
special setting for WinCVS?

I have no idea about the pros and cons of all the various tools I just use 
KATE (K Advanced Text Editor) which has good Syntax highlighting (I use 
ConText in windows at work) and standard gnu diff and cvs.

We wish to integrate it into our CRM/Groupware System (Enterprise 
Groupware System - http://sourceforge.net/project/egs) which is written 
in postgresql. Having looked at the system it seems like integration 
would be fairly easy once web-erp is working with postgresql

[Web-erp-developers] Serial stuff

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

Jesse,

I just committed your updates:

 with the file upload choices etc to cvs
new include files for keyed and file
images for bank and currency
DiscountCategories - fix to sql
Stocks deletion now in correct order re ref integrity foreign key trouble - in 
a transaction as suggested.

Thanks for this Jesse

Phil

[Web-erp-developers] Re: serial entry & miscellany

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

Hi Jesse,

Good to hear from you ... great to have you back on the case!

ReverseGRN and the StockCheck stuff are all I had left to do. I may have
started the Reversal but nowhere near finished.

I thought with the ReverseGRN that if the serial numbers are not currently
in stock in the quantities that they should be then the Reversal would fail
or maybe reverse only the items that are there - yet to get this clear as to
how to proceed. Like you I would prefer to have the movement recorded for
the items coming in and a movement showing the reversal with the item record
retained albeit with the stock quantity at 0 after the reversal has been
processed.

I will work through the ReverseGRN issues and come back with a proposal.

I am thinking that the reversal would create its own movment with associated
SerialMoves for those items reversed. The GRN record itself would be reduced
by the items reversed.

Phil

  Subject: serial entry & miscellany


  Hi Phil. I got back to working on the serial stuff. Changes/explanations
  of what I've done are below.
  This is slightly premature considering what needs to be done, but as I
  started to work through the SalesOrder portion, there appears to be a
  bug creating orders (7/2 7/4 cvs), so I decided to get this off to you
  to look at.
  Additionally, I tested ReverseGRN.php and I don't believe that's going
  to quite work...for one, if you need to re-receive any of the Serial
  Numbers you reverse, it is impossible. I also kind of don't want to just
  delete them from the database, but if that's the case, a new method of
  keying that table is needed - unfortunately I do want to enforce unique
  serial numbers. Additionally, since the Items still point to the
  original move and it is unaffected by the Reversal, that is going to
  cause problems when Ordering serialised items since there is no
  indicator of which actual items were returned. Your thoughts on handling
  that?
  more later... or sooner, hopefully....

  InputSerialItemsFile.php - support for File input methods
  InputSerialItemsKeyed.php - default keyed entry support
  2004-07-04.diff - cumulative changes against this morning's CVS, details
  below

  DiscountCategories.php:
  * fixup malformed sql query
  * add option to allow all products to be displayed. This is a hack... I
  think there needs to be a better interface for tieing these things
together.

  GoodsReceivedControlled.php
  * changes to support File input and specify other method as Keyed input.
  As I move through the other 'Serialised' code, I may pull this and put
  it elsewhere so it doesn't have to be duplicated.
  * add a Remove All feature

  InputSerialItems.php
  * remove keyed entry => InputSerialItemsKeyed.php (attached)
  * add EntryType support

  PurchData.php
  * Allow a 0.00 price - I needed this, possibly b/c I am not doing things
  correctly. I will address that later if necessary

  Stocks.php
  * Fix delete ordering... was being done in the wrong order... as I type
  this I am thinking this should actually be a transaction
