Maybe the specific IIS install uses Basic Auth by default and needs to be turned off. Thanks Janusz.

Re: Extension tmp folder no flush? (4 replies, posted in Installation)
It is actually on the "not-safe side" unless we try to delete a non existant folder which is covered by the "if" check.
The said library file has been used in numerous open source projects and not even in one of them is it commented out.
Some projects it is in use are:
LifeType
OntoWiki
ZenPhoto
Automne-CMS

Topic: $ext == 'module' error? (1 replies, posted in Report Bugs here)
In the file admin/inst_module.php, shouldn't the line 116
$is_mod = $ext['type'] == 'module';be
$is_mod = $ext['type'] == 'extension';Better still, have the line removed as the $is_mod variable is not used anywhere at all.
In the file includes/ui/ui_lists.inc, shouldn't the line 2213
if ($ext['type'] == 'module' && !$ext['active'])
$tabs[$ext['tab']] = access_string($ext['title'], true);be
if ($ext['type'] == 'extension' && !$ext['active'])
$tabs[$ext['tab']] = access_string($ext['title'], true);Also the subsequent line refers to the $ext['tab'] variable coming from $installed_extensions array that has been commented out in includes/packages.inc file in lines 128, 494, 671-672.
On a similar note, consequent to the gross changes in the extensions / plugins system in FA v2.3+, the file sql/alter2.3.php has the line 297 as part of a commented out block.

Re: best POS client (4 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
@kusuma
Unless you are up to programming PHP it is better to go with supported programs like AntERP - @tclim has provided several plugins, contributed enough code and is knowledgeable in FA - you are likely to find his products fit in well with FA. Likewise other SOAP proponents too can provide support and LogicWorks can tailor it for FA being a fork, though does not say so online.

Re: Launch email (11 replies, posted in FA Modifications)
FA uses the PHP mail() function to send mail.
There are other mature libraries like PHPMailer that have a host of options including SMTP relaying enabling you to use hotmail / gmail / yahoo mail to send out your emails but you need to patch them in or create a module for it.
Please read the PHP mail() function and the comments there in to configure your Windows box to relay mail.
When using the PHP mail() function with IIS 6 on Windows Server 2003, check your "Relay" settings on the SMTP Virtual Server in IIS. If you grant access to 127.0.0.1 and set then set your php.ini SMTP to the same IP address (along with setting the same port 25), you should have success in sending mail.

Topic: Extension Package Creation - ar does not work (7 replies, posted in Modules Add-on's)
Installed the Debian Archiver using apt-get install binutils. This makes the ar binary available.
Installed the Sales Summary Report Extension from the default Repo and made corrections to the files in modules/rep_sales_summary. Now try to re-package it after setting the correct sha1sums.
The following does not produce FA compatible pkg from the above already installed one:
cd /var/www/frontac/modules/rep_sales_summary
ar rcs ../rep_sales_summary-2.3.3-1.pkg \

Alternatively, a custom javascript file to change the contents of the Item Code field alone after it has been rendered - a sort of document onload and/or onclick function. The real Item codes can remail Item01-abc, Item01-def, etc.

Re: How to Add Column in Direct Invoice (26 replies, posted in FA Modifications)
It would be better to create a separate plugin for it - that way you will be able to upgrade painlessly. Alternatively, look at the SimpleAPI for FA and build a form that posts directly into the FA db tables.
The plugin system (modified Debian Repo) and the API for the repo are not public - they need to be culled out from the includes folder's files: archive,inc, packages.inc and main.inc besides the hooks files and their classes.
You have modified - sales/view/view_invoice.php and sales/includes/ui/sales_order_ui.inc - changing only the heading lines at lines 113-114 (line 107 has the SQL and details content in lines 137-143) in the former and lines 144-146 in the latter . The content comes from sales/includes/db/sales_order_db.inc and is processed in sales/includes/db/sales_invoice_db.inc.

Re: Requisition Module Not Working (11 replies, posted in Setup)
The original FA requisitions-2.3.3-7.pkg is at:
http://anonymous:password@repo.frontaccounting.eu/2.3/extensions/requisitions-2.3.3-7.pkg
Made corrections (as detailed in the forum post) to the extension and bundled it as a normal tar file - just add the modified debian sauce and place it for download at the repo.frontaccounting.eu site.
The corrections are in the hooks.php, sql/update.sql and _init/config files.
It still cannot work properly - anyone got it to work?
What should the installed_extensions array be for such a module?

Re: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in file: (9 replies, posted in Report Bugs here)
If the file installed_extensions.php does not exist, why not hard code it's content into the script? And if the content needs to be written and saved and the file is still missing, then it can be created!
Alternatively, just create it if it is missing - with some acceptable default content - and then read it back into the current script!
