Re: Arabic Language SupportText (6 replies, posted in Report Bugs here)
Hello again,
I notice that you are refering to Open Accounting. FrontAccounting has majured quite a bit. The database structure has also changed. I do not support Open Accounting, so please convert to FrontAccounting.
If you want to, you can download the language file, ar_EG.zip and the language editor poEdit from the download page and translate the rest of this file.
Please help us with that.

Re: Arabic Language SupportText (6 replies, posted in Report Bugs here)
Hello,
Were you involved in the development of Open Accounting?
Btw, you must change the language in Users Setup for making the language change permanent. Logout and login again. Then it should run ok.

Re: Spanish Translation (11 replies, posted in Translations)
Sounds great with the translations. I think there is another guy translating into Indonesian. He is somewhere in the Forum. You could probably coop with him.
I have no explanation to your clock problem. Probably there are others out there that can comment on that.
Regarding the language load. Did you change the language in the Users Setup. Logged out and logged in again?
Best regards

Re: GST/VAT - Please explain (1 replies, posted in Setup)
I think you should talk to an accountant about this. There are so many rules about VAT/GST/Tax, and these are often country specific. Putting them into groups is just a way of presenting them in an easier way, at least I think

Re: Clock Setting (Regional) (2 replies, posted in Setup)
Hello,
The date display is set inside the Display setup inside the Setup Tab. The time display (am or pm or not) is by difinition set to follow the date display 0 (MMDDYYYY). If this value is set, the am and pm is used, otherwise not.
You can change this rule inside /includes/date_settings.inc if it does not suit you. Look after the function Now().

Re: COGS method (4 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
Hello again,
nice to hear that you love the product.
For translation: Start by downloading the poEdit and Empty.po files from the Download Languages page. And then start the translations. Save the PO and MO files to your country specific ll_CC (language, country) accourding to the standards. The MO file is created automatically when you save the PO file.
You probably want to see how the translations is looking. You can always do that by Installing the language inside FrontAccounting. Setup Tab.
Next time you can edit the language and upload new PO-MO files. So you can always follow your translation.
I think there are about 1600 strings to be translated, so it will take a while.
Happy translations. Looking forward to see it. When finished you can send it me, so we can put in on the download page, right?
Best regards

Re: COGS method (4 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
Hello,
This was a qualified question
These routines were written before I took over the project. It seems to be the Average Costs. The stock_master fields are updated whenever there is a purchase. I've tried to look into the stock_moves table, but can not find anything that indicates a FIFO or LIFO value mark.
I will have to dive deeper into this. I know there are various 'schools' for handling this, but the code is quite complicated for these operations.
Probably you can help me, thanks.

Re: Payroll (16 replies, posted in Wish List)
Thank you guys for your comments. Payroll has not been considered a task for FrontAccounting. But it might be possible for someone to write an add-on module.
The commissioning has been considered, and it would be possible by adding a couple of fields in the sales_person table. A major percent fields. A break field and a minor percent field. When we are doing something else that requires the change of the database tables, we would implement this. Then it would be easy to make a report per sales-person commissioning.

Re: Multiple Line Items - Same Item (1 replies, posted in Items and Inventory)
I've seen both approaches. If you have many lines you could 'forget' that you already have entered one before. Then it would be nice to automatically add it to the former line and there you can correct it. Another approach would be to add these items with different prices to a new article. I'm not sure what is best. Probably others out there have some viewpoints?
Yes, we are considering a re_occurring Order or permanent orders in a coming release.

Re: Language Installation/use bug (2 replies, posted in Report Bugs here)
Hello all and especially Alfred.
I think I see the problem. When the GETTEXT is not installed on the server, FrontAccounting will create a PHP file from the PO file. But there is no PO file there, therefore it will fail. You then tried to upload a PO file instead of a MO file, but FrontAccounting renamed it to a MO file.
The solution here is to have two upload fields. One for the PO file and one for the MO file. This way we would be sure that either way the new language files will work.
I will change the Install routine, so this would eliminate the problems.
Of course you could have uploaded the PO file by FTP, but you wouldn't know what the problem was, right?
Thanks Alfred, for pointing this out for us.

Re: What are dimensions? (27 replies, posted in Dimensions)
Hello,
There was an explanation in the Setup Forum but it should have been here, so I will repeat it.
Simply speaking it is just a way of keeping track of various departments, cost centres, projects inside the company.
You can have 2 levels, e.g. level 1, department, level-2, cost-centre.
When you create the dimension you decide if it should be of level 1 or level 2.
You can by this keep track of cost centres inside a department inside a company.
Default the system havs 1 level of dimensions. That is, you can keep a simple track of departments or cost centres or whatever, but just in one level. That is, you can keep track of departments only or cost centres only inside a company.
If you don't need dimensions you can set it to 0 in the company setup.
Here you can choose between level 0, 1 or 2.
I hope this gives meaning to you.

Re: I Can't Update language (9 replies, posted in Setup)
Hello again Alfred,
Please take a look at the file /frontaccount/CHANGELOG.txt at SourceForge in the CVS repository.
After the release of 1.12 there have been several updates, among others those that you report here. We also changed something in the file gettext.php as you will see here.
Try to update all the files since release 1.12.
There hasn't been time to make a translation documentation yet, though there are some explanation on the download pages.
You might search the Internet for gettext and poEdit for more documentation about the MO and PO files.

Re: I Can't Update language (9 replies, posted in Setup)
Hello again,
I don't have much experience with the IIS for Windows. But I know that there are others out there that have succeeded to install language on it. I think it was an email correspondance and I don't have that email on hand.
Let us hope, Alfred, that there are somebody out there that can help us again. And it that case we would put a more detailed instruction here.
So please guys, tell us if there are special things to do for Alfred

Re: attach files to documents (4 replies, posted in Wish List)
Hello patsko,
This sounds like a real hoot. We will think of a way to implement it. I think it can be done without database inteference. If we create a special folder for these external scanned documents, it should be easy to view them online.
Well we have to think of a way to split it up and to get it optimal.
Certainly a good idea. Thanks.

Hello El_Guar
The documents are all hard coded at the moment.
Most of the field positions are inside /reporting/includes/pdf_report.inc in the member function header2.
If you intend to change it, please make a backup of the file, should we make further changes to it.
