Re: How functional is 1.3?



For those impatiently awaiting 1.3, I'm now pushing to a git repository on one of our public servers, at git://git.freelock.com/git/ledgersmb.git.

You can browse it at http://git.freelock.com/?p=ledgersmb.git;a=summary (note that the recent Firefox update doesn't seem happy with the gitweb xhtml... try Chrome or something else if you can't view this).

Most of the branches in there are old, but svn/trunk gets updated from SVN every 6 hours (or when I manually update), and freelock13 contains patches I'm making as I get things working.

Cheers,
John

Hi,

My notes are summarized here:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=4CB49532.9000905%40freelock.com&forum_name=ledger-smb-devel

... since then, I've had to grant privileges on several sequences,
functions, and tables, and I did have to go through and change the
account/chart id on all of the individual parts I had imported...

Also, we had to do some refactoring on our check templates -- it's now
split into 3 files, and hard-coded to use the templates/demo templates.

I'm attaching the sql script Chris sent me, with a bunch of edits I did
as I worked through it...

We have reached the point where it's mostly usable. At the moment, we're
issuing invoices, receiving cash, printing checks, running some reports,
and starting to use the voucher and reconciliation systems. It's
starting to feel pretty solid. It took a long time getting here, and
I've been sending a steady stream of patches back to Chris. Next up on
the list: sending invoices by email. And then I think we're going to
bolt on a REST interface to facilitate some integration with our other
systems...

Cheers,
John Locke

John,

Do you have notes of things you have had to do to get 1.3 going?

I am finding a number of things too - your notes might help me resolve
some of these?

Thanks,

Phil.

  I'm currently in the midst of migrating to 1.3 just this week.

I'm finding tons of little issues, have been working with Chris T on
getting my patches back up stream...

If you're willing to work with some growing pains, and accept a bit of a
step down in stability, it's probably workable (or will be come hell or
high water by next week...). We're moving forward primarily because we
have to fix the reconciliation system -- and this is vastly improved in
1.3.

initiate.pl failed for me, didn't install everything necessary. The
manual process does work, and there's a SQL upgrade script floating
around if you're looking to import from LSMB 1.2 or SQL-Ledger... not
really something that's usable if you're not a developer, you will hit
issues.

I wrote a post to the Devel list earlier this week about our upgrade
process so far, if you can't find it in the archives, I can forward to
this list...

Today I got reconciliation actually working, fixed a really crazy bug in
GL that was causing heading accounts to show up as additional lines and
making transactions out of balance, and am working on getting proper
shipto, customer, and vendor views that will hopefully fix most of AP
and AR screens. Reports mostly seem to work ok.

Turtle,

I too was about to ask if there was any progress because I hadn't seen
any posts re progress for a while.  Should I download the latest code
and try again (64-bit)?

Thanks,

Phil.

I just checked ledgersmb 1.3 Trunk Revision: 3091.
Just to see where things are at.
I installed the few extra dependency's and set it up in Apache on
my testing
Laptop.
How useable is 1.3? are folks here using it for daily use?
I checked out the initiate.pl in my webbrowser and browsed the code
a bit.
I got to initiate.pl not letting me log in as a db user but I did
not set up
any lsmb_db first.
Is initiate.pl supposed to edit ledgersmb.conf and set everything
up or is it
like a new admin.pl?
Anyway looks like allot of progress has been made.

Cheers
Turtle
