I am not sure these are related.

I have created customers and branches for those customers. I go to create a new sales order or direct invoice, and the branches seem to appear in the pull down menue, but the customers do not appear (all branches do appear).

I have the same problem with suppliers.

If I go back to the create customer or supplier, in the select a customer menu they do not appear for editing. Same with supplier.

Now, If I go to reports and select supplier or customer they do appear in the pull down menus.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong in particular?

I have a back office server that uses one domain name that is private, yet it seems to get printed with all the reports. Is there a way to disable that?

I decided to run install from scratch again. This time it magically seems to have worked.

My best theory is that the previous fresh install was not completely fresh, as there was an existing directory in company folder. Just a theory, not confirmation.

Anyway, all seems to be working great. I also would like to complement everyone on their quick responses to my questions. Mark (perhaps the most important mark) of a good and healthy Open Source project.

How about all of Latin America?

I for example need at least Chilean Pesos, and if software can handle multiple languages it makes sense that it should handle a corresponding diversity in currency. ECB has very limited coverage, and I am not terribly enthusiastic about their currency rates. There are lots of different ways to calculate currency (real time, observed, so on).

I also have an inflation indexed sudo-currency to deal with for long term contracts. It would be nice to come up with an easy way to pull the daily rate off the central bank website as I do believe it is provided in XML or at least some sort of curl call. 

So it would be nice to have more of a swiss army knife type currency interface to deal with the million ways currency can be retrieved, and handled.  Another example, is that I don't give whole sale currency rates to my clients. I charge 2% less for the risk of handling foreign currencies.

That presents a problem.

I posted in another thread that there was a sql error generated when I created a second company from inside default demo company and then tried to login. So, I did a complete new install to work around that problem by not populating the demo company, followed by creating a new company. So, the company it is greyed out in is the first and only company.

I tried creating another systems administrator account without luck also.

Is there a way to work around this?

Personally multiple options is likely the best way to go, as that way we are dependent on the changes of any one third-party service.

There is a bunch of scripts out there for handling Google and Yahoo currencies in php.

Modifications on this might be possible for Google.

This is GPL joomla module that would likly be the easiest to modify or as template for the purposes to get Google currencies:

My favorite is xe.com, but that is a paid for service unless you post an advertising. Honestly with the quality of their live rates, I would not mind putting up with a banner advertising of some sort.

Perhaps even more down the wish list would be to have some sort of easy API to add whatever external currency service the administrator likes.

That is the problem. I am logged in as administrator. In fact, there is no other user other than administrator at this point, and I checked all the possible access levels to make sure. They are all checked and available.

Ideas?

I am setting up a new company and populating the database from scratch, and the following are grayed out on the setup page:

Create/Update Companies
  Install/Update Languages
  Install/Activate Extensions
  Software Upgrade

Are there things I need to setup before it will allow me to change those?

They all worked in a previous demo I played with.

Definitely need more options than the ECB for currency sources, or an option to add other currency sources. For example central bank web sites, yahoo, google, etc easily.

I have confirmed this is 2.1 and 2.2, when sharing the same database. With a new database it works fine.

It also seems that with a shared database between companies, that it does not produce a company directory. So if one of these broken directories is created, it will produce an error about the company/1 could not be removed and stop the company deletion process.

I can confirm this problem. It seems to have something to do with the way new companies are created.

I currently have a new company it allowed me to create without a table prefix on the same database, and set it to be the default company, and  then I get the above mentioned sql error. If I go back to delete that company by logging in to the practice company, I get the following error:

"You cannot have table set without prefix together with prefixed sets in the same database."

There is a sanity check of some sort missing, along with dumping an admin password in plain view is very not good.
