11:36:35 <spartan2276> Is it possible to insert data into GnuCash from a web application?
11:38:08 <spartan2276> if so can you guys point me to the API documentation please
11:57:54 *** elbiot has joined #gnucash
11:58:14 <elbiot> hello room
11:59:15 <elbiot> I am running gnucash 2.4 on ubuntu
11:59:36 <elbiot> I amde a mistake reconciling
11:59:54 <elbiot> I entered the final balance with a dollar sign at the front
12:00:31 <elbiot> and so it defaulted to whatever gnucash expected the final balance to be, so everything reconciled easily and I hit "finished"
12:00:40 <elbiot> but it was for the wrong amount!
12:01:03 <elbiot> Then I tried to unreconcile those transactions and accidentally unreconciled a transaction from much earlier
12:01:50 <elbiot> So I try to reconcile for a date for which i know are good (because I reconciled them a long time ago)
12:02:13 <elbiot> but they don't reconcile because the starting amount is wrong
12:02:50 <elbiot> gnucash and my bank statement do agree on the balance on the date in question, but the reconcile box says they are off by exactly the starting balance
12:10:02 <elbiot> Also, I used the sqlite3 backend so I can't go back to an old version
12:10:02 <elbiot> (I changed to xml)
12:11:19 *** ric has joined #gnucash
12:12:19 <ric> Hi all, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, I've tried both the gnucash repo as well as compile from source from the site,
12:12:33 <ric> I'm trying to get the graphs working for the budget report
12:13:30 <ric> All I get is a single graph followed by "Unable to push bar chart" a million times... Is there anything I can do to get it to show a graph for each account?
12:14:04 <ric> I've tried Google without luck...
12:14:27 <ric> Its gnucash 2.4.10 (r21973 on 2012-02-12)
12:14:31 <ric> Thanks :)

13:14:01 <elbiot> I was disconnected. If anyone answered me I didn't get it
13:15:27 *** jmd has joined #gnucash
13:20:37 <gour> elbiot: there was no reply
13:21:26 <gour> when i had some problem with SXs, i decided to use uncompressed xml and store everything under dvcs (git), in order to able to recover easily
13:23:11 <gour> elbiot: have you tried to clear you transactions and re-reconcile them? i had to fix 'reconcile' several times, but never encountered some unresolvable problems
13:25:57 <elbiot> I have gone through transactions and unreconciled them by clicking on the "y" in the "R" column
13:26:13 <elbiot> is there another way to clear the reconciliations?
13:27:09 <elbiot> gour: using xml, doesn't gnucash keep every save backed up on its own? why use Git?
13:59:08 *** elbiot has quit IRC
14:06:08 *** elbiot has joined #gnucash
14:07:53 <gour> elbiot: well, after some time those 'log' files are removed...morever, SX are broken and i got my *.gnucash messed up...that's why i like to keep it under git
14:08:03 <gour> it doesn't cost much
14:09:25 <gour> elbiot: why don't you try just to clear them, iow. 'c' in R column
14:11:21 <elbiot> will try, but i though "clear" had to do with like a check clearing
14:12:39 <gour> no, clear is between 'n' and 'y', iow. when reconciling process is not finished yet
14:13:27 *** ilisten has joined #gnucash
14:14:13 <gour> you read http://gnucash.org/docs/v2.4/C/gnucash-guide/txns-reconcile1.html ?

14:28:06 *** elbiot has joined #gnucash
14:28:47 <elbiot> gour: 'n' works the same as 'c' for altering the starting balance.
14:29:27 <gour> elbiot: right. 'c' is for transactions only
14:30:13 <elbiot> I just need to unreconcile EVERYTHING. false starting balance is from previously reconciled transactions that happen AFTER the statement date I pick
14:30:40 <elbiot> gour: transactions as opposed to...?

14:41:08 <elbiot> Thanks gour, I have a lot of clicks ahead of me.

15:30:50 <elbiot> success
15:36:46 *** fell_ is now known as fell
15:38:59 <fell> spartan2276: see http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Python_Bindings and
15:39:15 <spartan2276> fell: thanks
15:39:47 <fell> http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Doxygen
15:42:20 <spartan2276> fell: maybe you can save me the trouble of researching this. What I'm trying to do is create a form which will insert data into GnuCash, say for example expenses
15:42:45 <spartan2276> fell: can this be done without too much fuss
15:45:00 <fell> Sorry, I never used the bindings, but there are a few example scripts: http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/browser/gnucash/trunk/src/optional/python-bindings/example_scripts
15:55:25 <spartan2276> fell: oh man this is awesome, thanks
15:56:53 <fell> You are welcome.
16:07:20 *** jmd has quit IRC
16:20:04 <gour> elbiot: what did you do?
16:24:41 <elbiot> I unreconciled EVERYTHING (using n's, but c's would have worked to)
16:24:59 <elbiot> It was easy to re-reconcile because it was all accurate to begin with
16:25:17 <gour> ok, good
16:26:41 <elbiot> yes. I re-reconciled in chunks just to make sure.
