After the release of FA v2.3.12 (Mercurial Changeset 3061), important changes have been made (in Mercurial Changeset 3068) to the all default themes' renderer.php files that need to be backported to the existing non default themes to make them compatible for use in future releases.

In Mercurial Changeset 3068 certain rendering functions viz.,

    check_application_access
    check_module_access
    hide_inaccessible_menu_items

have been shifted from

    themes/*/renderer.php files

to

    includes/current_user.inc

Hence in the  hitherto non-default themes, the renderer.php files must get rid of the said functions and replace the following calls:

$this->check_application_access($app)
$this->check_application_access($selected_app)
$this->check_module_access($module)
$this->hide_inaccessible_menu_items()

with

$_SESSION["wa_current_user"]->check_application_access($app)
$_SESSION["wa_current_user"]->check_application_access($selected_app)
$_SESSION["wa_current_user"]->check_module_access($module)
$_SESSION["wa_current_user"]->hide_inaccessible_menu_items()

respectively.

Consequently, the function menu_header in the themes/*/renderer.php file will no longer need access to the variable $show_inaccessible_menu_items from the global context as it now has access to it's SESSION variable instead.

ie.,

global $path_to_root, $help_base_url, $db_connections, $show_inaccessible_menu_items;

will now be:

global $path_to_root, $help_base_url, $db_connections;

Web ERP's lead developer Phil Daintree's company LogicWorks provides a compiled POS connector and desktop application (Win, Lin, Mac - Counter-Logic Point of Sale System) for an annual fee of USD 75/-. There is no such equivalent in FA - AFAIK. It is based on Python and compiled and uses the Zadig USB Driver Installer from the libwdi project on Sourceforge and Python esc/pos project at Googlecode.

With rich HTML5 capabilities, it shouldn't be long before a completely free POS becomes available for FA. Chris Muench's PHP Point of Sale was free till they went closed source (USD 99/- per install with 1yr free upgrades), the last free version with all features are available as a WebApp for the BlueQuartz/BlueOnyx project (BQBO-webapp-phpos-11.3.pkg) and is privately available with a few developers.

The current open source version fork of the PHPPOS is available as Open Source POS. Their latest v2.01 released a few days ago is here.

In what way is your login screen different from the standard one? Check the diffs of the login.php and see what has changed....

Attempting a git clone of the fa payroll module from google results in an error:

Thanks Janusz, no hurry. Meanwhile, have posted updated LoginDelay Fix for BugPost 1785

If it doesn't make it to the code base, can it find a place in the Wiki? (Placed in Wiki)

Now that the failed login delay feature has been introduced in v2.3.12, the above code needs to modified carefully in the light of changes to login.php and other files listed above.

The above does NOT WORK at all. There is no question of including it for now. I am in the process of digging into what all code is getting affected.

The date picker does not work at all correctly for this feature choice as of now.

This is only a preliminary delving into the mire that the code currently is.

Ref Code:
date_cells(_("From:"), 'AfterDate', '', null, -30);

The html output in FF 15.0.1 for an incorrect display for this format that now shows for one field is:

<input 
    autocomplete="off" 
    _last_val="2012-07-13" 
    name="AfterDate" 
    class="date" 
    size="10" 
    maxlength="12" 
    value="2012-07-13" 
    type="text"> 
<a 
    tabindex="-1" 
    href="javascript:date_picker(document.getElementsByName('AfterDate')[0]);">    
<img 
    src="../../themes/default/images/cal.gif" 
    alt="Click Here to Pick up the date" 
    border="0" 
    height="16" 
    width="16">
</a>

Ref Code:
date_cells(_("To:"), 'BeforeDate');

The html output in FF 15.0.1 for a correct initial display field (but not working input function) would be like:

<input 
    autocomplete="off" 
    _last_val="12-Aug-2012" 
    name="BeforeDate" 
    class="date" 
    size="10" 
    maxlength="12" 
    value="12-Aug-2012" 
    type="text"> 
<a 
    tabindex="-1" 
    href="javascript:date_picker(document.getElementsByName('BeforeDate')[0]);">    
<img 
    src="../../themes/default/images/cal.gif" 
    alt="Click Here to Pick up the date" 
    border="0" 
    height="16" 
    width="16">
</a>

The initial input size value of 10 may need to become 11 for this format....

The parameters for the functions date_cells and date_row are same and for reference are:

$label, 
$name, 
$title = null, 
$check=null, 
$inc_days=0, 
$inc_months=0, 
$inc_years=0, 
$params=null, 
$submit_on_change=false

Proposed changes for additional date format.

File: config.php / config.default.php
Replace Line 139:
    $dateformats     = array("MMDDYYYY", "DDMMYYYY", "YYYYMMDD");
With:
    $dateformats     = array("MMDDYYYY", "DDMMYYYY", "YYYYMMDD", "DDMmmYYYY");

Correct "defalt" to "default" in commented line 143.

File: includes/date_functions.inc

1.
Replace lines 38-39:
    else
        return $year.$sep.$month.$sep.$day;
With:
    elseif ($how == 2)
        return $year.$sep.$month.$sep.$day;
    else
        return $day.$sep.date('M', $year.$month.$day).$sep.$year;

2. Altered fragment in function is_date($date_)

    elseif (strlen($date_) == 8)
    {
        if ($how == 3) // So as not to affect Jalali processing
        {
            $day = substr($date_,0,1);
            $month = date('m', strtotime(substr($date_,1,3)));
            $year = substr($date_,4,4);
        }
        elseif ($how == 0)
        {
            $day = substr($date_,2,2);
            $month = substr($date_,0,2);
            $year = substr($date_,4,4);
        } 
        elseif ($how == 1)
        {
            $day = substr($date_,0,2);
            $month = substr($date_,2,2);
            $year = substr($date_,4,4);
        } 
        else
        {
            $day = substr($date_,6,2);
            $month = substr($date_,4,2);
            $year = substr($date_,0,4);
        }
    }
    elseif (strlen($date_) == 9)
    {
        if ($how == 3)
        {
            $day = substr($date_,0,2);
            $month = date('m', strtotime(substr($date_,2,3)));
            $year = substr($date_,5,4);
        }
        else
            return 0;
    }

3. Altered fragment in function sql2date[$date_)

    // Split up the date by the separator based on "how" to split it
    if ($how == 0) // MMDDYYYY
        list($month, $day, $year) = explode($sep, $date_);
    elseif ($how == 1) // DDMMYYYY
        list($day, $month, $year) = explode($sep, $date_);
    elseif ($how == 2) // YYYYMMDD
        list($year, $month, $day) = explode($sep, $date_);
    elseif ($how == 3) // DDMmmYYYY
        list($year, $month, $day) = explode($sep, date('Y-m-d', strtotime($date_)));
    else
        return "";

Thanks for the info Janusz. Please direct me to where you have a Roadmap listed.

Will work on this feature when time permits as it needs a complete implementation.  This is the preferred date format in ASEAN countries what with the EU/US confusion on the date score...especially for CPAs who need to cater to clients across the globe and have "unambiguous" reports.

We need to cull out all instances of
1. Date Display
2. Date Form Fields
3. Date Picker (through wrapper function)
4. Date Picker (any unwrapped)
5. Date field computation
6. Date in SQL unabstracted

Any inputs here will help make for a smooth integration without catastrophic suprises.
