00:06:40 <looking> hi there! I'm using gnucash for invoicing but am having trouble getting the invoice items in the order that I want. In the input screen, they are ordered by description however when I go to print out the invoice, the order is all messed up. Help?!!!

00:19:27 <looking> Anyone there?
00:20:36 <looking> Hellooooooooooo
00:25:08 <jsled> looking it's nearly half past midnight EST. maybe you can wait a while, like the topic suggests?
00:25:39 <jsled> if waiting online doesn't suit you, I suggest the gnucash-user mailing list.
00:26:36 <looking> thanks for the response. I haven't used irc before so didn't know if the post was gettin through.
00:27:41 <looking> jsled, where do I find the mailing list
00:28:09 <jsled> https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo
00:31:34 <looking> Okay. I'm going to post this and patiently (or maybe not so patiently) wait for assistance from the ether:
00:35:22 <looking> I am preparing invoices for my business. When I type the items in, I can order the items by starting the descriptions with numbers e.g. 01,02, 03 etc. and things look good while I'm entering the invoice. However, when I print the invoice or view the invoice for printing, the item order is lost. Is there any way that I can order the items in the invoice so they print in the order that I want?

02:17:24 <up_the_irons> is there a way to pay 2 bills with one check? or, can I manually mark 2 bills as paid? I already paid the bills and my AP account balances, but gnucash shows me the bills are unpaid at startup. I'd like to simply mark them as paid, since they are.

03:35:06 <fuzzybunny> hey guys I don't understand what equity is. Can someone try to explain it to me?
03:36:50 <fuzzybunny> and also if say you bought a product and then returned it and got your money back how would you record it?

04:00:00 <AlexStacey> Hi, I'd like to be able to generate a chart that shows all income and expense accounts on a month-by-month basis. Does anyone know of a custom report like that which already exists?
04:04:37 <AlexStacey> also, kind of unrelated, do people generally store more than a year's worth of accounting in gnucash?
04:06:06 <AlexStacey> I've shoehorned 3 years worth of books in now and I'm finding it hard to tell what's going on so I'm thinking keeping just 1 year might make more sense.

08:56:18 <cfp> is there a utility function for popping up a customer select dialogue? or do i have to use gnc_general_search_new ?
09:13:57 <cfp> ok i guess gnc_customer_search_select is what i was after
09:17:41 *** warlord has joined #gnucash
09:17:41 *** gncbot sets mode: +o warlord
09:18:43 <cfp> oh i see i use both. gnucash's internals remain as inpeneterable as ever...

09:32:03 <looking> I am preparing invoices for my business. When I type the items in, I can order the items by starting the descriptions with numbers e.g. 01,02, 03 etc. and things look good while I'm entering the invoice. However, when I print the invoice or view the invoice for printing, the item order is lost. Is there any way that I can order the items in the invoice so they print in the order that I want?
09:37:29 <warlord> looking: invoice item order is: date (in the date field), date-entered, then desc.
09:37:55 <cfp> i don't suppose you know the customer search code warlord?
09:38:20 <warlord> cfp: well, I did write the original code, so I probably know it fairly well (although it's been 8 years since I wrote it)
09:38:25 <cfp> i'm just trying to get my head around spawning a customer select dialogue and then get the results
09:38:28 <cfp> ace
09:38:47 <cfp> so i'm using gnc_general_search_new right?
09:38:59 <cfp> and passing in gnc_customer_search_select as the callback
09:39:26 <cfp> but then how do i retrieve the results? it's almost as if the callback needs a callback that i'm missing
09:39:41 <cfp> or do i just write my own gnc_customer_search_select?
09:40:40 <warlord> do you mean gnc-general-select?
09:41:15 <warlord> You listen for the <changed> signal and then use gnc_general_select_get_selected()
09:41:52 <cfp> i didn't know i meant gnc-general-select, but i'll take your word for it that that was what i really meant... (^_^)
09:42:41 <cfp> i'm not really familiar with gnome coding so this is all a bit of an adventure for me.
09:44:57 <cfp> there doesn't seem to be a single call to gnc_general_select_new in the business module which i guess is why i didn't notice it
09:50:32 <warlord> well, what exactly are you trying to do?
09:51:25 <warlord> There's also gnc_customer_search()
09:51:42 <cfp> user clicks on a menu item, it pops up a customer select dialogue, customer select dialogue returns, something happens to the selected customer. just found some code in dialog-invoice.c which is helpful in light of your previous comments
09:52:20 <warlord> There is also the Business -> Customer -> Find Customer menu item you could look at.
09:53:11 <cfp> yeah so i think i'm implicitly calling gnc_customer_search by using gnc_customer_search_edit as the callback to gnc_general_search_new
09:58:39 <cfp> thanks for your help. i think i have something that makes sense now... fingers crossed it works.

12:21:42 <cfp> i'm getting an undefined symbol error when it tries to load my plug-in. i'm probably doing something stupid. any ideas?
12:22:43 <cfp> * 09:06:51 WARN <gnc.module> Failed to dlopen() '/usr/local/lib/gnucash/libgncmod-WikimediaUK.so': /usr/local/lib/gnucash/libgncmod-WikimediaUK.so: undefined symbol: gnc_customer_search_select
12:32:56 <warlord> Did you link against the biz libs?
13:07:27 <cfp> i have them in the LIBADD section of my makefile.am if that's what was required? (i'm a windows dev by training, so apologies if i'm clueless)
13:08:51 <cfp> ahh i just did a make clean and it fixed it
13:09:01 <cfp> should have thought of that before

13:17:23 <kimmo> warlord, is there a way to get a register window (or the general ledger in this case) not to automatically re-sort transactions when the Action field is changed?
13:17:45 <warlord> Nope.
13:17:52 <kimmo> okie

21:53:50 <mishehu> somebody should have told emzzzz that his manboobs are indeed too big. we don't even have to click the spam link to know that.
22:11:36 <warlord-afk> Heh.

22:11:59 <warlord> Of course now I really should go into the logs and remove the spam...
22:17:58 <jsled> I suppose a nice feature of the log converted would be to retroactively nak the linkage of urls.
22:18:12 <jsled> (or add @rel=nofollow to them, at least.
22:18:52 <jsled> )
22:19:00 <warlord> Well, sometimes it's useful to have links in the logs. *shrugs*
22:19:12 <warlord> I wonder if there's a way to make the links only for "known" people? ;)
22:20:28 <jsled> anythings possible. :) smop.
22:20:55 <warlord> yeah, in my copious amounts of free time.
22:21:12 <jsled> I hear you.
22:34:41 <warlord> Anyways, off to watch Idol and then bed.
