I had this once, I asked my isp for a terminal access and entered required commands; I doubt GoDaddy will give you terminal access, but ask anyway.

Let us freeze the PHP version for this FA version.
People should not keep updating PHP version frequently.

I totally agree, but from personal experience updating is driven by the hosting companies; changing version without notice and often to obscure version numbers; then in some cases, not allowing previous versions to be used. Yes you get what you pay for, but initially most users will factor cost when choosing hosting.

I have no answers, but I would very much like to see a solution to this.

@trafficpest I wrote AF for my own needs and did/do not require branches. Delighted you've found a use for it and thank you for sharing/updating.

trafficpest wrote:

...I dont see why since FA creates a branch when you create a customer automatically...

This is not entirely true:-

Lines 62 & 63 of config.default.php state:-

    /* Creates automatic a default branch with contact. Value 0 do not create auto branch */
    $auto_create_branch = 1;

The default configuration is for FA to create a branch, but you can as I do turn it off, so null would cover all options.

My only remaining question is am I supposed to include the column titles in the csv?

All the example templates have headers... \modules\import_transactions\templates


In addition to @rafat's excellent advice you may want to reduce your 5 transactions to one or two.

Also open in a text editor and count commas, header and data should match and no comma at the end.

Archived posts on module is here...https://frontaccounting.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=5396 there are155 of them, only some useful and/or relevant though.

@rafat in that post apmuthu published an additional test file (Post 118), I couldn't get that to work either , can you check it and if necessary update it and then upload, sure users will find it useful.

@rafat; do you mean Allow entry on non closed Fiscal years which is in access setup? Cannot find anything in Banking & GL

I'm on the latest version (oct 2023).  I'm trying to use the import transactions feature.  I have about 5 sales transactions to import.

It really would be quicker and easier to enter 5 transactions manually.

Have at least two installations of FA, use the extra for training yourself and then it doesn't matter if you make a mistake. Copy your backup from your existing actual to your training accounts; then use it before you use a new part of FA for your actual accounts. You'll learn more from your mistakes.

On your actual accounts backup at every opportunity and keep a comment/note of each backup.

Are you using $show_sql = 1; in config.php? it's close to the go_debug line; its very useful for debuging

Do I need to open accounting years back in history?

Yes go to Setup>Fiscal years.

Is this even possible to import historical transactions?

All transactions are historical



FA is worth it but does require effort, patience and resolve in the beginning. Keep going! You'll get there.

With no modifications just change language in preferences, it just takes a couple of seconds (second language does need to be installed though) Or have a second login with French as preferred language.

An automated solution, based on customer would not be a major change, post in the 'Jobs wanted' forum

I believe you have to start a new topic, reference the old topic with a link and then post your reply.

Unless anyone else has a better idea?

Two ideas, both not for the faint hearted:-
1. Edit the DB directly, need to backup first.
2. Take a backup and edit this, rename, reload. This would be my preferred option as using your favorite text editor beats direct editing and is easier to manage the backup's

I'm interested in what other's have to say though? So I'd wait awhile.

@joe, @apmuthu,

tldr: Decrease the limit number of posts to allow users to create attachments. And another suggestion

I cannot find permissions for PunBB member levels on here or PunBB forum/documentation, so some of the following is assumptions.

You cannot post attachments unless you have made 50 posts - a 'senior member'.

So as I understand it; the persons requiring the most help are new users, as they may not yet know the correct terminology of the problem the have, English is not their first language, etc. So screenshots would help them 'a picture is a 1000 words.'. Also by the time they reach 50 posts, they probably have sufficient knowledge not to have to post accompanying screenshots, the screenshots they now post are to help someone else. Yes they can link to external sites, but that's too many steps and complicates the process. It also doesn't encourage good behaviour either - a user can easily write more posts to increase their membership level by writing valid but wasteful posts - e.g. 'Yes I agree' or 'Thank you, this helped me too' etc.

By the time a member posts say 5 posts you can tell if they are a spammer, troll etc, so can a new level of membership be created, say 'Trusted Member'. You can still ban them anyway.

If no more levels can be created, change the 'senior member' level and rename it? It doesn't mean much anyway?

Also whilst researching this I noticed an unofficial extension on the PunBB site that notifies users if they have received a PM which has also been asked for on this site.

Thank you for your time.

Ref. screenshots: Once you have written your post go back and edit it, there should now be an option to upload an image. Not an image an attachment, but this is the end result.

@apmuthu

I'm still getting a 404 in Joe's post #1 above. The link is:-

https://frontaccounting.com/wbt/pages/d … se-2.3.php
https://frontaccounting.com/wbt/pages/download/download-release-2.3.php

Which gives a 404

I believe the correct link should be:-

https://frontaccounting.com/wbt/pages/d … 3fonts.php
https://frontaccounting.com/wbt/pages/download/downloads-for-release-2.3fonts.ph

The url's must have been changed when the website was updated last year.

This may not be everything you want, but you could sell your items including tax (Select from price list in invoice creation - set up in "Sales Types")
Try it in your training program first.

Search for 'Void a Transaction' in the wiki.

Items you cannot delete if you have used the item in a transaction, but you can make a used item inactive.

Suggest you use the current site as a 'Training site', and make a new installation for your actual accounts, and try everything new first on the training site before you enter it into you accounts
