Are there any subscribers using LedgerSMB versions older than 1.4?

by Erik Huelsmann

Hi all, Migrations have become considerably more controlled since the 1.5 release, which introduces a smooth migration from 1.4. As such migration paths do not exist for 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3, I'm eager to learn if there are any users out there of these old versions, and, if you're not migratiing, what's keeping you from doing so. If you can't publicly respond to this inquiry, please mail me privately so I can treat your information confidentially. Thanks for your responses, -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. Robust and Flexible. No vendor lock-in.

Release of ledgersmb-1.6 package v1.6.10-1

by Robert J. Clay

An initial version of the debian ledgersmb-1.6 package version for LedgerSMB v1.6.10 has been created and uploaded to our PPA[1], for Ubuntu 'disco' (v19.04) and 'cosmic' (v18.10) as well as for 'bionic' (v18.04 LTS). (The debian source packages are available as well.) The packages at our PPA: ledgersmb-1.6 ledgersmb-1.6-apache ledgersmb-1.6-lighttpd ledgersmb-1.6-nginx ledgersmb-1.6-varnish Only the main 'ledgersmb-1.6' package is required; the others are related to which web proxy you might want to use and you only need one of them. (They depend on their respective web proxy applications and attempt to do at least some setup for them.) Note that I haven't created a ledgersmb-1.6 package yet at our apt package repository[2] for Debian 'Buster' (which is expected to be Debian v10) as that Debian version has not yet been released. It is, however, expected later this year so if people would like that I start making it available as well, please let me know. -- Robert J.

LedgerSMB 1.7.0-alpha1 released

by Erik Huelsmann

Hi, After the merge of the (improved) Multi Currency Support branch (MC branch), we have released a preview version of LedgerSMB 1.7.0. It's not feature complete yet, but is intended as a general sense of direction for the 1.7.0 release and a way to solicit feedback. Note that you should run this version *only* on a *copy* of your database; this version is NOT intended for production use. The full changelog for 1.7.0 so far is included below. The most important feature by far is the improved multi currency support, which required quite extensive changes to the software. As such, this is the feature we're looking for feedback on most. If you need help getting set up to test 1.7.0-alpha1, please let me know! Changelog for 1.7 Series Forthcoming New functionalities * Deletion of template transactions (Nick P) * Transaction date now part of purchase history report (Chris T) * UI allows addition and removal of custom `account_link` flags (Nick P) Improved foreign currency support * Multiple rates per day per currency (Erik H) - Reversing a transaction from a closed-period on a day with different rate - Bank transfers with different banks on the same day with bank's fx rate - Migration from systems which support per-transaction or per-line fx rates * Multiple currencies in a single general ledger transaction (Erik H) - Posting an opening balance with all currencies in 1 transaction - Transferring between foreign currencies on e.g. Paypal in 1 transaction * Fixed copying of invoice copies fx rate without option to change (Erik H) * UI showing foreign and default currency amounts in transactions (Erik H) Quality Assurance * Expanded checks and resolutions for schema changes (Erik H) * Testing infrastructure and tests for schema change checks (Erik H) * Ensure correct dependency declaration (RequireExplicitInclusion critic policy) * POD documentation structure improvements, with automated checks (Erik H) * Expanded BDD tests, including payments, batches and approval (Nick P) Dependency updates * Dojo Toolkit (JavaScript UI tools) updated to 1.14.2 (Erik H) Code cleanup * Removed deprecated 'custom table' and 'custom field' tables (Erik H) * Reduce dependencies on deprecated LedgerSMB::App_State (Nick P) * Simplified deprecated LedgerSMB::PGOld (Nick P) * Remove unused LedgerSMB::DBObject and LedgerSMB::PGOld methods (Nick P) * Remove unused configuration settings in ledgersmb.conf (Erik H) * Further (compared to 1.6) reduction of warnings * Implemented tests for LedgerSMB::File(::*) modules (Nick P) * Template engine simplification by separation of UI and printed docs (Erik H) * Consistent copyright notices - with tests - on all Perl files in lib/ (Nick P) * Request handling cleanup by mapping 'flat' POST data into hierarchy (Erik H) Nick P is Nick Prater Erik H is Erik Huelsmann Chris T is Chris Travers -- Bye, Erik. http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP.

Exchange rate

by Erik Huelsmann

Hi Ryle, Your mails are appearing in the mailing list archive (..) but not in my inbox, so I'm copying the content of your mail here: > How can we set the exchange rates if the currency is different form our country default currency, In order to be able to set exchange rates, you need to indicate that you want to use multiple currencies. You can do that in the "System > Defaults"-menu. On the resulting page, there's a "Currency" input box. If you want to use more than one currency, e.g. USD (as the regular currency (also known as "functional currency")) and EUR as the foreign currency, you enter into the currency box (without the quotes): "USD:EUR" (the ":" is the important separator). When you have that, you can choose the currency when creating an order or invoice. When you choose "EUR" and click "Update", an input box will appear for the exchange rate. > Let's say the purchase order is to be sent to another country. Does the above help your case?

Fwd: Debian packages for LedgerSMB

(Released just a few days ago.) > * your repository apt.ledgersmb.org contains packages with names like > « ledgersmb-1.5 » and « ledgersmb-1.5-apache ». Yes, the ledgersmb-1.5 packages are for the 1.5.x versions of LedgerSMB, with the latest being v1.5.24 (just released a few days ago). The ones like ledgersmb-1.5-apache are for web proxies if one wants to use one. The 1.5.x versions will be supported by the project until December of this year (2019) when it will see its End Of Life for community support.. There are also the ledgersmb-1.6 packages, which are for the 1.6.x versions of the LedgerSMB application (the current stable). It also has the associated packages for a web proxy selection. > So, I feel a bit lost... Is there one preferred sort of package ? Are > some of these obsolete ? The ledgersmb-1.5 packages aren't "obsolete" but they are for the old-stable version of LedgerSMB (1.5.x), which as noted will see End of Life in December 2019. (Whereas the 1.6.x versions are good for LedgerSMB Community Support until December of 2021.) Their advantage is that due to the availability of dependencies, the ledgersmb-1.5 packages can be backported to older versions of Debian (or Ubuntu) than the ledgersmb-1.6 packages currently can be. The primary difference between the 'ledgersmb' package and the 'ledgersmb-1.x' packages is that due to Debian Policy (regarding embedded libraries), the ledgersmb packages uses the system installed packages for the Dojo libraries while the ledgersmb-1.x packages use the embedded versions of the Dojo libraries that are released with each version of the LedgerSMB application. -- Robert James Clay rjclay(a)gmail.com, jame(a)rocasa.us -- Robert J.

Re: [ledgersmb-users] users Digest, Vol 20, Issue 1

Hi, thank you for your question. On our case, we are still using the 1.3.46 release since the only available pdf manual is only for 1.3 version.Can we now migrate to higher versions of LSMB without any issues and retaining the data of the 1.3 setup?

I used debian 9 (Stretch), without a GUI. 'ip addr' gives 192.168.1.101, which sounds right, as that's my lan, 192.168.1.X. I then followed the instructions on https://apt.ledgersmb.org/index.html, but I installed version 1.5, and did not add the 'test component', I don't know what that means, sorry. > Regards, >> >> -- >> Bye, >> >> Erik. >> >> Many thanks. > >> http://efficito.com -- Hosted accounting and ERP. >> Robust and Flexible.

So from my desktop I tried to access via firefox 192.168.1.101:5762/setup.pl, but it's unable to connect. I have the VM network set to bridged, networking is my downfall, and the other thing I suspect is that I need to open the firewall for the webserver. All advice appreciated.
