Hi Erik,

Thank you for these instructions. I have succeeded in loading the
templates en masse using the setup.pl method.

I have found that the templates need some reworking in order to be
processed in the new LSMB. Having done that and the TT part of the
process now running to completion

That's good progress! Nice!

the remaining problem is that the document presented to us is not the

postscript output but is simply the raw latex source.

Ok. Can you share the first line(s) of your template? I think I know what's missing, but would like to confirm it.

Although there are plenty of lines in the error log (see below), none
of them seem to explain this. What could cause LSMB to return the raw
latex source rather than the generated postscript from it?

LedgerSMB installs a plugin into Template Toolkit which enhances TT to generate the required postscript output -- given the right instructions. This instruction is what I'm looking for in the first few lines of your template.

Regards,

Erik.

Thanks,

Pete

Here are the log entries resulting from hitting "Print" on a invoice to
print to the screen:

Unquoted string "customer" may clash with future reserved word at
/var/www/ledgersmb/bin/../old/bin/is.pl line 1152 (#1)
(W reserved) You used a bareword that might someday be claimed as a
reserved word. It's best to put such a word in quotes, or capitalize it
somehow, or insert an underbar into it. You might also declare it as a
subroutine.

Use of uninitialized value in substitution (s///) at
/var/www/ledgersmb/old/lib/LedgerSMB/Form.pm line 2226 (#2)
(W uninitialized) An undefined value was used as if it were already
defined. It was interpreted as a "" or a 0, but maybe it was a mistake.
To suppress this warning assign a defined value to your variables.

To help you figure out what was undefined, perl will try to tell you
the name of the variable (if any) that was undefined. In some cases
it cannot do this, so it also tells you what operation you used the
undefined value in. Note, however, that perl optimizes your program
and the operation displayed in the warning may not necessarily appear
literally in your program. For example, "that $foo" is usually
optimized into "that " . $foo, and the warning will refer to the
concatenation (.) operator, even though there is no . in
your program.

Argument "" isn't numeric in numeric le (<=) at
/var/www/ledgersmb/bin/../old/bin/is.pl line 236 (#3)
(W numeric) The indicated string was fed as an argument to an operator
that expected a numeric value instead. If you're fortunate the message
will identify which operator was so unfortunate.

Note that for the Inf and NaN (infinity and not-a-number) the
definition of "numeric" is somewhat unusual: the strings themselves
(like "Inf") are considered numeric, and anything following them is
considered non-numeric.
