09:28:36 <gjanssens> Hi all...
09:29:12 <gjanssens> warlord: Tao Wang has sent in a patch to fix namazu and using cookies for the user's preferred language
09:29:39 <gjanssens> This involves a change in search/namazu-cgi.sh
09:29:56 <gjanssens> Would you mind copying the patched file over to the appropriate dir on the server ?
09:30:28 <warlord> sure
09:30:35 <gjanssens> I have committed the change (which seems ok to me) in r19179
09:30:53 <warlord> okay, i'll take a look when I get the chance later today. It might take me several hours before I get to it.
09:31:22 <gjanssens> np, just let me know when you got to it so I can test if it works
09:32:17 <warlord> ok
09:32:33 <warlord> if you're not here i'll respond via email on the list.
09:33:44 <gjanssens> ok

10:59:34 *** fbond has joined #gnucash
11:08:38 *** ErKa has joined #gnucash
11:21:29 <warlord> gjanssens: okay, copied into place
11:29:43 <gjanssens> tx
11:31:54 <gjanssens> Bleh, it doesn't seem to improve things. I still only get English language pages.
11:32:29 <warlord> It used to work with the secondary languages...
11:33:02 <gjanssens> I know
11:33:23 <gjanssens> This is due to some changes Tao proposed that now break search (again)
11:34:18 <gjanssens> I think the issues are solvable, that's why I went ahead and committed the patch anyway.
11:34:47 <gjanssens> So now Tao offered a fix for the search issue, but it doesn't seem to work.
11:36:01 <gjanssens> I have to leave in a minute, so I'll continue this tomorrow.
11:37:57 <warlord> Okay....
11:38:13 <warlord> I dont see why we made the changes in the first place. "If it aint broke, dont fix it"
11:43:28 <gjanssens> I saw an opportunity in Tao's patch to simplify the process of adding new languages to the website. That's why I went ahead with it. Unfortunately namazu turns out to be the picky part in this once again.
11:44:22 <gjanssens> He did make another proposal, using a php script to replace namazu-cgi.sh
11:44:36 <gjanssens> I haven't committed this yet.
11:44:39 <warlord> Considering how rarely we add langs to the website, is it really worth the effort to make it easier?
11:45:13 <gjanssens> Perhaps you're right...
11:47:48 *** gjanssens is now known as gjanssens-afk
11:47:50 * gjanssens-afk is away: Gone away for now
11:48:02 <scar> warlord you said i can see the due date of an invoice inside the invoice itself, but i don't see it anywhere...
11:49:02 <warlord> scar: I'm sorry. You're right. It's not there.
11:49:12 <warlord> It's only in the A/R account or the search results page.
12:50:19 <scar> which search results?
12:50:48 <warlord> Business -> Customer -> Find Invoice
12:51:24 <scar> all isee there is opened and posted
12:55:31 <warlord> scar: ah, right again. So yeah, only place you'll see it is A/R
12:56:12 <warlord> You'll see it on the printed invoice..
12:56:53 <warlord> You can also see it on the Customer Report.
12:59:34 <scar> how can i easily find the invoice in A/R? i can't get it to sort by invoice#
13:07:12 <warlord> what exactly are you trying to do??
13:07:30 <scar> see the due date of an invoice ;)
13:07:40 <warlord> WHICH invoice.. And Why?
13:07:46 <warlord> Seriously, what exactly are you trying to do?
13:08:11 <scar> i want to know how late a particular invoice is
13:12:05 <warlord> Report -> Business -> Printable Invoice [ Options ] [Select Invoice]
13:15:19 <scar> okay
13:15:41 <warlord> You can also do Reports -> Business -> Receivables Aging
13:16:04 <scar> since our customers pay on a monthly basis, is there a way to duplicate one of their previous invoices, and just change the due date?
13:16:31 <warlord> unfortunately no. Patches always welcome.
13:16:39 <scar> hehe
13:17:09 *** andyt has joined #gnucash
13:19:08 <scar> i can also just open the invoice, and then select file -> print invoice
13:19:18 <warlord> That works, too.

22:59:16 <scar> warlord-afk: i am about to file the enchancement request to search for invoices by due date, should i classify that under "Business" or "User interface general" component?
23:01:56 *** warlord-afk is now known as warlord
23:02:00 <warlord> business.
23:05:40 <scar> done
23:07:43 <warlord> did you attach the diff?
23:07:52 <scar> yes
23:08:01 <warlord> FYI, in the same function you could add a column for Date Due. ;)
23:08:38 <scar> orly? so it'll show up in search results?
23:11:04 <warlord> Yes
23:11:10 <warlord> Add to the columns list
23:14:05 <scar> k... trying it out... maybe i'll submit another diff to the same enhancement
23:16:24 <warlord> ok
23:16:32 <warlord> actually, no, make it another req, please
23:18:29 <scar> but my diff is going to have the things in it to add the due date search option
23:20:29 <warlord> Cut out those additional changes.
23:20:47 <warlord> or... run the diff against the first changed version
23:23:02 <scar> what if someone wants to use both patches? can they run both on their dialog-invoice.c and it will patch ok?
23:26:33 *** BruceH has joined #gnucash
23:27:46 <BruceH> Hi. I'm just getting started with Gnucash, and the documentation is a bit much to absorb all at once (and I don't expect to!) so I'm wondering if there is a documentation package available for offline viewing.
23:27:48 <scar> i notice that the "Company" column is way too small, also... is that a bug in the code or something to do with gnome?
23:28:33 <scar> BruceH: i think it has a built-in help file, no?
23:29:03 <BruceH> Well, it does, but I'm hoping for an e-book or pdf type format that I can print and study when I'm not near my computer.
23:29:25 <scar> oh i see
23:30:28 <BruceH> I looked at alternate documentation, but most of those seem outdated. Version 1.8 or something. Would that still be applicable, or would I be wasting my time with those?
23:31:53 <warlord> scar: generlaly, yes.
23:32:31 <warlord> BruceH: you can generate PDF from the docbook sources, but right now, no, we do not have a pre-generated pdf
23:32:41 <warlord> anyways, good night gentlemen (and any ladies out there)
23:32:43 *** warlord is now known as warlord-afk
23:33:27 <BruceH> heh. i was about to thank warlord. I'll look at docbook. I should be able to figure that out. If I get good enough results, I'll see if anyone else is interested. :)
