Planettel provides an OpenVZ template for FA with default India, Singapore and Malaysia Chart of Accounts besides the standard US ones, along with 10 pre-created databases for 10 FA companies. They also provide cloud hosted service and client site hosted instances besides support. Migration from other versions of FA and other accounting systems are also undertaken by them. They sponsor my developmental work on FA for the cloud.

setup company tab see if the search field is checked for items, customers, suppliers. Also try to do a refresh and see if the company/#/js/*.js files need to be refreshed.

Re: Supplier Payment With Bank Charges (5 replies, posted in Report Bugs here)
Probably, the posting should be rounded off and stored in the debits and then summed up from the debits to obtain the contra credit sum instead of computing the credit with rounding off errors such as this.
Make 2 individual journal entries and see if the values come in correctly?

You can do it outside of FA easily. Use a suitable table structure and design it with http://www.adminer.org or http://www.phpmyedit.org

Re: Change Currency (4 replies, posted in FA Modifications)
http://adf.ly and http://uploaded.to URIs are blocked by ISPs in India (at least by BSNL).
Make sure that there are no transactions as yet when such currency changes occur.
Perhaps easier by editing a backup and restoring it with proper auto_increment value for the auto_number primary key field.

If these changes are submitted to the project, then it might be included as an addon (aka textcart) or into the core so that with version changes in FA, all would be faithfully carried forward.

Get someone to make a module extending FA for it if it isn't there as yet. Try using Dimensions and Tags to see if they fit the bill.

Use vTigerCRM and integrate the customer's Account Code into it and then provide a restricted login role - a dirty hack though.

Re: Sales report per article (11 replies, posted in Banking and General Ledger)
Thanks Joe. You've named the report &Sales Summary Report, Detailed
It might have been better to be "Item &Sales Summary Report" to distinguish it from the Customer one.

Re: Simple REST API (45 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
Depends on the way your apache conf is setup - with or without mod_rewrite and rewrite rules. Your URL is okay if you have the default apache conf setup.
The OpenVZ template I have is setup to avoid the index.php from showing up in the URL.

Re: Dashboard breaks again? (12 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
The renderer.php lines 112-114:
foreach ($sel_application->modules as $module)
{
echo "<p ".$first." class='menu_head'>".$module->name."</p>\n";
displays only those modules that are enabled and passed onto it. It appears that the Dashboard module remains inactive as far as ths is concerned even if it has been activated for the company under use.
Therefore during installation, it must be explicitly be made active in the web root's installed_extensions.php and accordingly passed on to the one under the company/#/installed_extensions.php as well.
The non standard approach to having the installed_extensions.php's array subscript "active" as being true/false or 0/1 in the webroot 's installed_extensions.php and in the company/#/installed_extensions.php may cause problems - better to standardise on either the boolean variant or the integer flag method.
The dashboard module's name in line 13 of hooks.php - is it's case sensitivity important:
var $module_name = 'dashboard';
Lines 18-27 of the dashboard module's dashboard.php:
//$this->add_module(_("Dashboard"));
$this->widgets = array();
$this->add_extensions();
$this->apps = array("orders"=>_("Sales"),
"AP"=>_("Purchases"),
"stock"=>_("Items and Inventory"),
"manuf"=>_("Manufacturing"),
"GL"=>_("Banking and General Ledger"),
"Dashboard"=>_("Dashboard"));
also has case sensitive issue for module name and the commented out add_module line.
Also a list of translatable entries should be placed in an empty.po or some sample language file like en_US.po/mo

Re: Separate Cash and Bank (1 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
Such segregation would be useful but may have to wait for FA 2.4 since db changes are not allowed in FA 2.3 anymore. You can turn off auto numbering and manually use the physical voucher number each time till such a feature comes up - or pay someone to develop an extension for you and donate it to the community.

Re: Dashboard breaks again? (12 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
where in the dashboard theme do we enable the dashboard menu tab or where do we enable it by default in the dashboard module install - the hooks.php is quite plain indeed and somewhere defaults are kicking in. The commented out add_module in it does not seem to work even if the comments are removed. Possibly it must be done prior to installation......or activation for a company atleast.....

Re: Sales Order Inquiry show invoice# (11 replies, posted in Accounts Receivable)
Have a look at the non ajax links on some of the FA pages and see the html code and the original php code that built it and verify if the said variables are in scope in the place you want it (or global the variable or use a function instead) and create your links accordingly.
@Joe/Janusz: This might be a nice feature to include into FA - emailing and re-mailing invoice/quote, etc.

Re: Dashboard breaks again? (12 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
To maintain consistency and backward compatibility, we can have all widgets restricted to the Dashboard Tab with the reminders showing up on the main Dashboard tab by default. This will also make for good help screenshots and menu guides as well.
Since during FA operation, the end user will be switching between tabs, no need to waste time in having widgets on non-Dashboard tabs.

Re: my own modifications (9 replies, posted in Wish List)
Getting your patches integrated into the core of FA along with config flags if necessary will ensure that you will have those changes faithfully carried over to future installs without having to maintain a separate repo and making incremental changes on diff-by-diff basis each time the master changes.
