A hall of shame is necessary but only after preliminary discussion with other developers but may not serve the intended purpose as the pseudonyms keep changing when the intention is wrong.

Scammers can use the legitimate email addresses of good users if their intention is not to pay.

Also some pseudo developers get contract from clients and palm it off to other real developers, get the job done and then pay or pay less or do not pay at all but finally take credit for the work done and get paid handsomely by the unsuspecting client.

Many clients get their job done in the forum without the intention to pay as well but atleast the solution is there for others to benefit as well and possibly get into the core.

Best practice dictates the use of the default company only to create new companies and install / uninstall extensions. Using a non-default company for your regular company is advised even if you have just one company.

Standard Operating Procedure:

Always make sure you place your work on your staging server and show the client the work done and receive payment and then provide it for the client. Otherwise, do it in good faith and make sure you do not bother with further requests and when versions change, they will be left high and dry.

If you try to put in "time bombs", you will spoil your reputation as a developer and bring a bad name to the project.

This forum should not be used to malign genuine developers and clients. It is best to keep personal disputes outside of the forum.

Nice work.

Please note that for anyone using PHP >= 5.5, the function password_hash() and other password_* functions are available.
For others, they would need to include the file password.php in the index.php / config.php file earlier on, taken from the password_compat project.

Tested out Windows XAMPP v1.8.2-5 (ie., build 5 dated 2014-04-10) on WinXP SP3 and the extensions are accessible from the official repo.
The ssl-warn in the previous post still appears in the php error logs but FA works okay.

The versions bundled in are:

XAMPP v1.8.2-5
XAMPP Control Panel 3.2.1
Apache/2.4.9 (Win32)
OpenSSL/0.9.8y
PHP/5.4.27
MySQL Server version: 5.5.36 - MySQL Community 
Database client version: libmysql - mysqlnd 5.0.10 - 20111026
phpMyAdmin Version information: 4.1.12

This has been Wiki-ed.

When using XAMPP - xampp-win32-1.8.2-6-VC9-installer.exe after enabling OpenSSL, we still get the error in FA while trying to install Charts and possibly other extensions. This happens on WinXPSP3 and it is because of some DOT NET 4 issues. Links for further info are here:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21177920/net-frameworks-4-0-application-crashed-on-windows-xp-sp3

Maybe worthwhile moving on to an older build/version of XAMPP or the goaded road to newer Windows!

This may have to do with some version changes to the hosting environment of the official extensions server too.

The actual log that was ought to have been sent to M$ is:

Wonder how you got a trans_no of -1 which is certainly out of range of an unsigned integer the field is.
You are using an older version of FA - v2.4.7.

It is possible that this issue may have been fixed in FA v2.4.8 - try the latest codebase.

You can get rid of the error by changing the field to signed integer for now but that does not answer the question as to how a trans_no became -1 in the first place.

@joe: any thoughts?

Which company did you login to create your user?

Only the default company can create new companies.
Never use the default company as your operating company. Use it for crating new companies and installing modules only.
Log into the target company (no-default) and then create your user without the right to create other users / edit access levels.

If you provide a prefix to all tables for the first company, then make changes to the config_db.php file as well.

Assume that HOSPITAL is already in business by creating a separate company and making all payments to your existing company for onward payments to suppliers temporarily.

As far as your company's account is concerned, PartnerA in your company can have a current account for all remittances / payouts on behalf of HOSPITAL.

In the HOSPITAL company, have a share capital account for each partner and credit them accordingly when they make a payment. Make a contra debit for your existing company in this new company and operate the bank account from the existing company till such time the business actually picks up.

If you can create another db, then fine (with privileged user for it). Otherwise, use the existing db with a different table prefix for the new company.

You can create a new company only from the default company (most likely the first one you created).

When upgrading from 2.3.x to 2.4.x, you need to set the default pattern for numbering the references to match for compatibility unless you are starting afresh where the latter's defaults are okay.

Tally is a compiled language and FA is an interpreted web based offering.
Tally uses C Structures for storing data and has ODBC to provide Excel and Word outputs.
FA uses the MySQL database to store data and the company/# folder to store files. and hence can be manipulated and integrated into many applications using ODBC for input and output.
Tally has extensive reporting and uses TDL for programming custom user input screens and reports.
FA has a limited set of reports by default and has an extensive PHP programming interface (SlimAPI) and extensions - you can write your own too.
Tally is limited to printers installed in the client.
FA can use any printer that supports CUPS printing online besides local ones.
Tally is proprietary and needs licences and AMCs.
FA is Open Source and fully localisable without reference to any third party.
Tally has Payrol by default.
FA has Payroll as an extension (several and can also roll your own).

Generate the _init/files file from within the extension folder with the bash one-liner:

find . -type f -not -path "./_init/files" | xargs sha1sum | sed -e 's# \*\.\/# \/#' | awk '{print $2 ": " $1}' > ./_init/files

A Google search for the string "FrontAccounting 2.4.8 - Login" or any specific version in it will yield the URLs of some deployments like:

https://mitramandiri-abadi.com/fa/
http://varakiyu.com/
http://aquarianpowerllc.com/
http://awebhost.co.za/

Country specific code can be integrated into FA.

Wonder how dark backgrounds would go with printing. Pre-printed stationery may do it well too. They look good though! Did you have to
1, create a new header file itself or
2. just a PDF template like you described earlier or
3. make an extension with specific settings much like themes?

The older versions of these tutorials are already in the Wiki.
The new FA site now has it too. Thanks @joe.

Prof Dr. Kannan Moudgalya's (IIT Mumbai) Spoken Tutorial project took in FrontAccounting a few years ago and these tutorials responsibilities have passed through several heads since.

I have just updated the wiki with these new links.

The steps needed are to update from 2.3.19 to 2.3.26 first and see if all is well.
There may be some config.php variables and sys_prefs table additions / changes that will need to be incorporated.
Check which Chart of Accounts was used for changes if any.
Then upgrade to FA 2.4.8+ (Git Master) along with checking for appropriate Chart of Accounts changes.

You should take professional help since you cannot even determine where your FA files are.
