04:45:04 <inksi> two of using gnucash here on separate machines, different versions. neither of us find the entry auto-number feature working. I assume this is working. Is there something simple we could be doing wrong? I reset the counters in Properties, but no success.
04:45:15 <inksi> two of us ..

19:49:17 <elb> Takyoji: I generate invoices via latex, using a modified gcinvoice.py (https://github.com/ngiger/gcinvoice.git)
19:49:35 <elb> it parses the XML and uses python templating to produce output
19:57:11 *** aqua___ has quit IRC
20:02:25 <warlord> Takyoji: I'm not sure what you're trying to do.. Are you trying to get an XML output instead of an HTML output from GnuCash?
20:03:16 <elb> he's probably trying to make invoices that look like something you can show a customer ;-)

20:24:58 <clarktic> Hello, new user. I'm new to GNUcash. I have a income food account with a transaction, and it isn't being trasnfered to my current asset checking account. Pretty sure I did everything the proper way. Here is a screen shot of both sections: http://ow.ly/PLOUQ . Top/bottom; income/asset
20:30:05 <Takyoji> warlord, my intention is to have invoice generation delegated to another program. All GnuCash would have to do is let me specify a command/program to spawn for generating a printable invoice, and just push some XML, JSON, or whatever tangible format to another program.
20:33:12 <warlord> clarktic: Did you actually finish entering the transaction? Do you have multiple accounts called "Food"? Also, why do you have a "Current Asset" called food, anyways? That doesn't make sense to me, unless you're somehow trading food for some other asset?? (I'll give you corn for eggs)
20:34:28 <warlord> Takyoji: Sorry, doesn't work that way. The closest you've got is, as pointed out earlier, gcinvoice.py. Or you can choose an HTML invoice that you like... Or you could attempt to get GnuCash to output XML instead of HTML via a template report. However I don't know how much success you'll have as it would have to make it through Webkit.
20:37:30 <warlord> elb: the "Fancy Invoice" is certainly something you could show a customer.
20:37:51 <clarktic> warlord: I'm using envelopes within my current account, so one is named food.
20:38:18 <clarktic> I found the answer, I was looking in the wrong section, expenses. It showed up in my current account like it should
20:38:28 <clarktic> thank you

20:42:04 <Takyoji> I just figure there'd be someway code-wise, to take the data that's passed to the Scheme template, into some other serialized format. Unfortunately I'm not too strong with C development. As for the Scheme-based template engine, is there a way to store custom templates for GnuCash under a private folder in the home directory (e.g. under ~/.gnucash/), rather than some system-wide folder?
20:47:24 <Takyoji> As for gcinvoice, it requires you to manually run it, and manually specify which invoice to generate, correct?
20:54:20 <warlord> Takyoji: I know nothing about gcinvoice.py. maybe elb does? As for the template --- I'm afraid I also don't know, but I *THINK* you can put stuff under ~/.gnucash somewhere.
21:08:27 <elb> warlord: we may have disagreement on how nice an invoice should look before a customer sees it ;-)
21:09:12 <elb> Takyoji: correct, you have to run gcinvoice separately
21:09:34 <elb> and as far as the scheme story, as I understood that when I looked into it, you have to edit the invoice.scm or fancyinvoice.scm or whatever
21:09:40 <elb> and you could make it emit something parseable
21:10:02 <elb> as I understood it (and I don't really understand why this is the case), gnucash won't let you run an arbitrary .scm file
21:10:16 <elb> the only reports you get are the ones that are hardcoded
21:13:27 <warlord> elb: you're forgetting the e-guile "Tax Invoice" report
21:13:35 <warlord> .. that's templated
21:13:55 <elb> woooo
21:13:57 <elb> ;-)
21:14:09 <elb> not so helpful for Takyoji
21:14:31 <elb> it would be pretty huge if gnucash could dump invoice data (or whatever report, really) to a user-specified scheme template
21:20:14 <warlord> Like I said, he may be able to create a template that uses xml instead of html, but it would have to make it through webkit.
