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.

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.

Re: Dashboard breaks again? (12 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
The Dashboard menu tab appears only if the $hide_inaccessible_menu_items = 0; since it is disabled in the install (how to enable it in the install?) and even then it appears blank.
The patch needed is to enable all widgets to be available as menu items in the Dashboard menu tab and make it enabled and have the Dashboard functionality removed from other tabs. Possibly the widget display sql can have the WHERE clause tweaked to not care about the menu tab it is to be displayed in and make a decision to display it only if the Dashboard menu tab is selected.

Re: my own modifications (9 replies, posted in Wish List)
Try this at first as someone asked for it in the forums a few months ago:
- Order Delivery
* add clear quantity button, so the default quantity to dispatch to 0. (usefull when you need to dispatch only a bit from a big order).
or better still just make addons / extensions of each set of features or the whole bunch as Elax Apps in a separate menu tab.

Re: Dashboard - Reminder Setup has no action value (2 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
@AlistairR: Thanks for the input. I was mistaken into assuming that it was for a cron job on demand like reminder and expected some accounting action from the system to be performed in FA. I now see that is a human manually entered to do task list - a sort of memo reminder.

If the config.php has:
$hide_inaccessible_menu_items = 1;then the Dashboard will not be visible as a menu tab. View it by setting above to 0 (default in FA).

Use phpmyadmin and check the tables manually. Alternatively, in FA, take a mysql dump (backup) and edit it and upload and restore.

Re: Accessing 10 remote offices accounts centrally (6 replies, posted in Banking and General Ledger)
Very easy!
Place network printers in each location and turn on CUPS-BSD Printing and set it in each user's profile.
Keep one or more userids for each location if needed so that the profile of the printers and stationery can be stored.
Keep Dimensions as the Branches.
Just one company install is sufficient.
One user login can see all the branches.
Filter by Dimension (branches) for branch transactions.
Specific set of transactions across locations can be bunched together using Tags. Example will be one supplier supplying goods to more than one location to be bunched together for evaluating average cost of his supply alone and then making payment across all supplies.

Re: Dashboard breaks again? (12 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
@elax: You are right. It should be configurable to be either on a separate tab or in each tab. depending on bandwidth, latency and size of recordset the enduser should make an intelligent choice and I would hard code it to be on a separate tab anyway. Please provide patch for hardcoding it on a separate tab and / or making it configurable.

Re: Dashboard breaks again? (12 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
It appears that it is the intended functionality to remove the Menu Tab.
Quote from forum post:
There was a dashboard tab in an early iteration because the module adds a new application to FA. It is hidden by the dashboard theme render module (~/themes/dashboard/renderer.php). Originally, only the dashboard tab displayed widgets, but by moving the menu to the side, it made more sense to make every application tab a dashboard and hide the dashboard tab itself. I forgot to hide it from the application list in the dashboard set up form.

Re: Accessing 10 remote offices accounts centrally (6 replies, posted in Banking and General Ledger)
Are the Businesses separate companies or profit centres?
Should any employee be able to make entries in more than one location?
The Dimensions / Tags feature of FA should see you thru.
Inventory / Customers / Transactions - must they be viewable and accessible by all? Do they share the same stationery? TimeZone? Currencies?
Federated databases in MySQL can be used with dummy views in one non-transactional install of FA can appear to mimic the subsidiary concept.
You can choose to keep all of them as separate entities and view them all from one location - single FA install with multiple companies and one browser interface with separate logins.

Topic: Dashboard - Reminder Setup has no action value (2 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
In the Module/Theme Dashboard, what does the reminder do?
Neither the table nor the form have any action name to be performed at each chosen interval.
The readme.txt file states for Reminder:
This shows a list of tasks that you can maintain by user role, with a date required and frequency. Go to Setup, Reminder Setup to define the reminder tasks for all roles. For each user, the reminder widget displays the outstanding tasks, with overdue tasks shown in red, today's tasks in blue and future tasks in black. When the user clicks on the task actioned check box, the next date for the task will be set according to it's defined frequency, and it is removed from the user's reminder list.

Topic: Dashboard breaks again? (12 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
Latest Dashboard theme and module installed and activated from the fa repo does not seem to have a menu tab for itself as was available earlier and shown in the wiki.
The current hg 3227 version shows it as in the attachment
Since the Dashboard Menu tab's contents like Dashboard Setup and Reminder Setup are now in the Miscellaneous Submenu of the Setup Menu, has the Menu Tab been dispensed with?
The company/*/js_cache had been flushed and the browser restarted on fresh login to no avail.
Is this because the Line 18 in modules/dashboard/dashboard.php is commented out (line 9-20):
class dashboard_app extends application
{
var $widgets;
var $apps;
function dashboard_app()
{
$this->application("Dashboard", _($this->help_context = "&Dashboard"));
//$this->add_module(_("Dashboard"));
$this->widgets = array();
$this->add_extensions();This is so even though the lines 12-21 that call it in modules/dashboard/hooks.php are:
class hooks_dashboard extends hooks {
var $module_name = 'dashboard';
/*
Install additonal menu options provided by module
*/
function install_tabs($app) {
$app->add_application(new dashboard_app);

Re: my own modifications (9 replies, posted in Wish List)
If you can provide individual patches for each suggested feature with order of patch application, it might be easy for Joe/Janusz to incorporate them.
Alternatively, fork from either the original Git or my GitHub repo and make a branch for yourself and a branch for each feature arising out of the master and update the code base to reflect the real HG default. Then merge the changes to your personal branch whilst restricting merging with the master till the main code base is updated with it.
That way you will be able to maintain your personal branch and merge in cherry-pick mode - I'm still learning the ropes with a more evolved project that OpenEMR is in this regard.

A side note for standardisation:
The file reporting/includes/reporting.inc defines function print_link() that is called by function print_document_link() also in the same file.
The function print_document_link() is called in quite a few files, but the print_link() function is directly called from only these other files:
manufacturing/work_order_add_finished.php
manufacturing/work_order_entry.php
sales/create_recurrent_invoices.php
