I've made a mockup of an easier-to-use customer lookup system. I've used something like this in conjunction with a database with hundreds of thousands of customer entries, and the UI design works quite well in that context, so I think it would be a very useful addition to FrontAccounting.

This customer lookup system would be useful not just for Add/Manage Customers, but in any case where customer records are being used, e.g. when creating an invoice.

+1!

I think this would be a useful UI for Suppliers, too.

The current UI for selecting a Supplier is very unintuitive, as is demonstrated by five posts I found with a quick search after I experienced a problem with it myself.  It took me half an hour delving into the code to work out that it was related to the "search suppliers" flag in the company setup.  Of course, I probably should have just searched the forum first, but it was an interesting learning experience, anyway.  :-)

I am trying to get the LDAP authentication to work with FA.  I have tried installing the module from with in the FA set up but I just get the normal login page.

Update your auth_ldap, have a look at the sample configuration file in modules/auth_ldap/config_ldap.php, and modify that configuration to suit.

This kind of collaboration is why I like open source so much.  :-)  Thank you for maintaining the extensions in github!

I've updated my github fork's auth_ldap extension.

How do I pull your github repo changes into my github fork?  (Sorry, I'm relatively new to git and github.)

I'm looking at the pull-request form on my fork of your repo, but it looks like that's how I ask you to pull my changes from my fork back into your repo.  Is that right?

Hi!

I'm making some improvements to the LDAP extension, to satisfy some of my own requirements.  My github repo is here:

  https://github.com/msquared-id-au/frontaccounting/tree/master/extensions/Extensions/auth_ldap

If the maintainer likes what I'm doing (and I don't cause any compatibility problems for anyone else using this extension), perhaps they'll pull my changes into the FA repo for everyone to use.

I can confirm that this happens for me, too.  I've encountered this problem when using Firefox 22.0 under Fedora Linux 17 and when using Firefox 17.0.9esr under CentOS Linux 5.

I did notice that I don't encounter this problem if I turn off JavaScript in the browser.

Hi!

I've downloaded FA and installed the Auth_LDAP extension.  I've come across a few problems with it, and I'd like to fix the problems I found.

Is there a git or mercurial repo I can clone to do this, or do I just grab the source from the extension after FA has downloaded it and go to work on it?
