Search options (Page 87 of 97)

There is some misunderstanding here, so once again to clarify:

When Search Item List box in company setup is checked on, the item list has only one position on start. So I understand you have done the test with checkbox set to off, or after entry * in code box then going forth to list and back to code box. Now the list does not follow keys pressed in item code box.
I see only the following possible reasons:
. javascript routine which synchronize item list position with item code box content does not work, or
. for some reason there are inccorect values of options in item list selector.

The former possibility could be effect of some incorrect upgrade of database. You can check if the item codes are right in list selector after display page html source in browser (e.g. in FireFox  you can select part of the page containing the item list selector and select View Source Code from popup menu).

I cannot reproduce the problem, so I cannot fix it without your help.

Please check if the mentioned directory exists and is writable.

Check your Company Setup settings. If Search Item List checkbox is selected item selector on sales order page will not follow code entry. On start item selector has only one single option in this case.

I'm not sure what do you mean talking about 'check item code function'.
After source upgrade from 2.0.x to 2.1 version you need to run db upgrade process. Please follow instructions in update.html file in main directory for details.

I don't know what the problem can be here. This is  www server configuration error, not FrontAccounting issue. One thing which this error can be related to is new .httpaccess file in root directory of FA, which sets some php configuration directly via web server. Try to play with this file a little starting form removing it outside the FA tree.

I know the issue, and get_ecb_rate function has been slightly changed in version 2.1 to have shorter delay when ecb site is unreachable. I have not found better solution than setting shorter curl timeout. Also I have found that sometimes curl cannot find the page because of some issue in its name resolving approach, so the second try is done using  ECB server IP. Maximum delay time in FA related to first exrate retrieval is currently 6s and warning is displayed when ECB is not reachable.
AFAIK  ECB has no secondary page which could be used when main exchange rates page is down.

I haven't know this one, interesting thing. I was also thinking about integration of some lighter solution available on SF.net.

Hi Tim,
I know the list is not comprehensive, and maybe there is some inaccuracies, but I have done my best to point out main differences. I was not going to make exhaustive comparison with detailed description of implementation details, and all rings and whistles. Just a list of main differences at the time of writing. And yes, certainly this list will be even more out of date in some future, but all what we do is volatile,  just like all the outward things. This does not mean we shouldn't try to help the people if they ask for it. The final decision is always the software user's right.

More detailed lists of features for both applications can be found here for webERP  and here for Frontaccounting.

Best regards

Hello Ludo,

I don't think so. The only man who know your requirements are you. The start constraints you have explained in first post are obviously fulfilled by both webERP and FA (comunion seems to be in alpha stage and seems not support multicurrency you need). I cannot advice which user interface philosophy is more suitable for you or which coding style is more compatible with your habits.
If you would ask me about features you want I could answer without problem. But seems you wanted me to make comparative study of the three projects. Sorry, I have not too much time to study other projects to give you satisfactory answer.

This forum is mainly for Front Accounting users, not developers, so feel free to ask us about any aspect of FrontAccounting usage, if you know what you want. You can also test the application on our demo site at http://fa2.iron.from.pl. Hope it will be helpful in your decision.

Best regards
Janusz

Yes, I think TIm has explained excellent that the question is bad addressed. Having so much spare resources you can use some small part of them for recognizing differences between the three projects yourself. We are developers not software retailers nor consultants. First of all none of us know your preferences, so the best answer is the one you can find yourself. All the projects differ in set of features, goals, development process and community spread. I think some 5-10hrs per project would be enough to clarify all your doubts.

FrontAccounting is open source project, and we are open also on new ideas and contributions. You are welcome ludoja.

I have no idea why you have the problem. $_SESSION variable is always defined when session support is enabled in php (in turn it is always defualt on). I even have no idea how to switch the session off to have this effect.
Janusz

If there is no complain about _() call seems this is sufficient to use gettext.
You have found small bug in en_US-demo.sql file which is related to your exact MySQL version.
The easiest way to fix this locally is to change '' to '0' after the date in lines 116-118.
