LedgerSMB software development discussion ()

Net_TCLink, Config::Std, LaTeX::Driver and LaTeX::Encode official for OpenBSD

These are now official ports for OpenBSD.

net/p5-Net-TCLink/
devel/p5-Config-Std
textproc/p5-LaTeX-Driver/
textproc/p5-LaTeX-Encode/

cd /usr/ports/[Port from above list]
make install

I expect that pkg_add will also work soon.

pkg_add -i p5-Net-TCLink p5-Config-Std p5-LaTeX-Driver p5-LaTeX-Encode

Contributing country-specific modules

How modular is LedgerSMB?

Would it be possible to contribute country-specific modules, for example, a country specific tax report?

Hi Oscar:

Absolutely we are interested in country-specific modules.  What
specifically do you have in mind?

Site content improvements: FAQ items, Statement of direction, Architecture documentation

Hi all,

Next step site improvements:

* Today I went through some FAQ items. Many can have more descriptive titles and have the english cleaned up. The content of many items looks a bit out of context, ie could use a good introduction of the problem the item is actually providing an answer for.

* The statement of direction could probably be rewritten a bit, starting with a vision instead of our history (i.e. the fact that we're a fork from SQL-Ledger), then enumerating the different areas treated later in the page.

* I'm thinking we should probably create a Book to describe everything that comes with our architecture, coding guidelines, etc, etc. The book structure allows for a nice hierarchical structure of documentation, grouping related subjects into chapters. This book would contain the target architecture:

- design layers (including graphics)

- role description of the layers

- description of the source tree (as a mapping from the design/role structure)

- etc

The history of each item is logged and can be reverted back to. So nobody should feel the need to hold back on editing FAQ items or proposing a new structure for the statement of direction (or other parts of the site).

Bye,

Erik.

Hi Oscar:

Absolutely we are interested in country-specific modules. What
specifically do you have in mind?

Well, my auditors here in El Salvador are pestering me to produce a legally required GL report that I had done once in PHP for a SQL-Ledger database.

I was thinking about having it redone in Perl, and contributing it as a plugin module for LedgerSMB, if the latter's architecture allows plugins.

You probably want to start by reading this:

http://ledgersmbdev.blogspot.com/2011/10/introduction-to-soda.html

if you code your SQL as stored procedures following the conventions there (naming your inputs in_varname where varname is the HTTP input parameter name, then it is extremely easy to map the SQL into the your form filter. The report logic would then become available to any add-on written in any other language.

The second thing to note is that we use Template Toolkit. You may have an easy time converting PHP screens into TT templates.

Finally we have a framework for displaying tabular data called dynatable. There is a learning curve there, so I would be happy to help with that part, providing guidance and maybe we can use it as an example for the next people.

Best Wishes,

Chris Travers

Re: Development Snapshot Released

Chris,

Sorry about the testing delay - I have continuing family health issues 
which regularly distract me.

I built the current RPM version from SVN, and installed it OK on a 
fresh, virtual Fedora17 i686 machine but I get this in error_log:

[Tue Jul 10 12:52:05 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] DBI 
connect('dbname=template1','postgres',...) failed: could not connect to 
server: No such file or dire
ctory, referer: http://localhost/ledgersmb/setup.pl
[Tue Jul 10 12:52:05 2012] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] \tIs the server 
running locally and accepting, referer:

Unix domain socket "/tmp/.s.PGSQL.5432"? at LedgerSMB.pm line 867, 
referer: http://loca
lhost/ledgersmb/setup.pl

PG is running OK and the default pg_hba.conf has worked OK in the past 
for previous testing:

local   all             all                                     trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all             all             127.0.0.1/32            trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all             all             ::1/128                 trust

Ideas?

Thanks,

Phil.

The easiest thing to do is probably set it to connect to localhost.
It is looking for a socket file that doesn't exist.  It could be in an
unusual place and important environment variables may not be set up by
the distro.

Best Wishes,
Chris Travers

Re: Development Snapshot Released

I just found and corrected another problem.

The path setting in the ledgersmb.conf.default had a : instead of an =.

Unless you fix it, the config file won't load.

Again this is specific to 1.4.

Best Wishes,

Chris Travers

Re: Development Snapshot Released

Chris,

OK, now I have got to the LSMB menu - I will have a closer look now bu 
two (minor) things:

1. Creating a new DB sometimes fails because of timeout on the server

2. All the fields need to be populated when creating the admin user

I will send more feedback later - what sections should be OK to use at 
the moment?

Thanks,

Phil.
