Search options (Page 23 of 25)

@ Joe, not sure if this is an easier option:-

Leave account types as they are, (as a non-accountant and looking at the code above I'm assuming FA calculates in a different way by type) but when creating trial balance (in program or as a report) and printing COA etc. sort by ID not type? You've probably already considered this..

ok... good! Shall I enter this in the mantis bug tracker?

Hi, this is excellent, will it be included in the next version? Or only as an mod?

It is quite clear in https://frontaccounting.com/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=922 but I am embarrassed to say that's the first time I've read it... but I don't think I'm the only one?

I often see your 'This info has been wiki-ed.' at the end of a post, so thought you or any one else who edits the wiki could add on '(To edit the wiki yourself, simply log-on using your forum sign-in name & password and go to the page you wish to edit and click the edit button in the bottom left corner)' as some extra publicity for wiki editing? I think the stickies need to stay.. something's just need to be repeated.

Edit: Just completed my education...all stickies read

Added a bit too...didn't realise we were able to edit the wiki??..!!

Ok, but how do you do 'adhoc discount after tax'?

In another post I read that negative prices can be made for service items; so I created a service item with same name as free gift, but excluding tax.

This gives more or less the desired result on the invoice and accounts.

But still interested to look at your 'adhoc discount after tax'.

@apmuthu & @joe - Hi, is anything happening on this issue?

function email($name, $mail)
    {
        $this->boundary = md5(uniqid(time()));

        if (extension_loaded('imap')) {
            $this->header = "From: =?UTF-8?Q?" .imap_8bit($name) ."?=". "<$mail>\n";
        }
        else
            $this->header = "From: =?UTF-8?B?" .base64_encode($name) ."?=". "<$mail>\n";

        $bcc = get_company_pref('bcc_email');
        if ($bcc)
            $this->bcc[] = $bcc;
    }

and

function subject($subject)
    {
        if (extension_loaded('imap')) {
            $this->subject = "=?UTF-8?Q?" .imap_8bit($subject) ."?=";
        }
        else
            $this->subject = "=?UTF-8?B?" . base64_encode($subject) ."?=";

    }

Functions and tested

@campbell, Hi, the problem is not with the body, its with the header and the subject.

The other item that needs to be sorted out is the subject; the following works for me; replace class.mail.inc line 77 from:-

function subject($subject)
    {
        $this->subject = $subject;
    }

to:-

function subject($subject)
    {
        $this->subject = "=?UTF-8?B?" . base64_encode($subject) ."?=";
    }

or

function subject($subject)
    {
        $this->subject = "=?UTF-8?Q?" .imap_8bit($subject) ."?=";//you will need the imap module enabled
    }

I believe this only leaves the email addresses, which 'generally' are not allowed to include diacriticals. (though there is some debate about this - Google 'Are accents allowed in email addresses' - for starters)

Very interested in your comments.

What is the history / background? ie Did company name and email subject function with accents before the change to utf-8?

Ok, I have a partial solution which looks promising:-

From my understanding $name is not encoded so accented char will never work, this post at stackexchange pointed me in the right direction, so changing class.mail.inc line 49 from:-

$this->header = "From: $name <$mail>\n";

to

$this->header = "From: =?UTF-8?B?" .base64_encode($name)."?=";

does work, BUT:-

does NOT include the newline \n so the from $name is followed by the Bcc: bccemailaddress@example.com

So I tried to introduce a new line with the following code:-

$this->header = "From: =?UTF-8?B?" .base64_encode($name)."?=", "\n";
and
$this->header = "From: =?UTF-8?B?" .base64_encode($name)."?=". "\n";

but neither of these work as the from is now the base64 code

If anyone knows a little more php than me can help add a new line please do, will sleep on it.

I have tried setting class.mail.inc line 41
from
var $charset = 'iso-8859-1';
to
var $charset = 'utf-8'; //also tried utf8
and
var $charset = 'utf8_unicode_ci';
and
var $charset = 'utf8mb4_unicode_ci';

Not sure what you mean about url encoding?

The problem is in company name in company configuration, not in the email address: I have tried quoted format, this returns '&quot' in the email company name, I've also tried psicopedag&oacute;gico

I assume:-
HTML Entity (decimal)     &#243;
HTML Entity (hex)     &#xf3;
will have the same result as &oacute; unless you can tell me otherwise?
