Php-gtk deb packages for Ubuntu Karmic

Posted by Jacob Emcken Comments (4)

At work I was assigned to package some software to make it easier to distribute and update. One of those software packages was php-gtk which with one patch to the build/configure files now cleanly builds on Ubuntu. You will be able to find the package on my Ubuntu PPA. You will be able to find builds for both 32bit and 64bit platforms.

I’m also in the process of uploading packages for FriFinans which is an Open Source economy / accounting application. This should be easier… lets see how it goes :)

Attention you english speaking (and Java coding) people… FriFinans is calling

Yesterday I translated the danish “getting started coding” guide into english. One less excuse for not contributing to FriFinans. It is all pretty straight forward but if you should get stuck you are more than welcome to contact me.

For those how don know what FriFinans is… It’s an open source multiuser accounting system soon to take over the world ;-) We have put alot of thoughts in the design fase until now and I’m really proud of the outcome… Frank has been great. I really think FriFinans has a solid and thought through base for the application.

Right now Frank is working on the foundation af advanced history logging, and through that the ability to roll back changes made to objects (ie. a debtor).

My first patch to FriFinans in the longest time

Posted by Jacob Emcken Comments (0)

After alot of tutoring by my great colleague Frank Bille I have wrote a small, yet good patch for FriFinans. It saves you from a key stroke every time you enter data a field in the lists.

Before when you wrote a date in a field you and pressed Enter the date would be validated and the field state would change from editable to just showing you the inserted value (if ofcourse the value was valid). Then you had to press Enter again for the focus to move to the next field.

Now when you hit Enter and if the value in the edited field is valid, the focus will automatically shift to the next field. This new funcionality isn’t ofcourse limited to the date field but to all fields in tables.

FriFinans got a new homepage

Posted by Jacob Emcken Comments (0)

The Open Source accounting system FriFinans has got a new homepage. The homepage is in danish but we are working on a english version. All developer documents (where they exsist) and code comments is in english, so this shouldn’t stop non-danish speaking people to join in.

Tonight I talked about FriFinans at a DKUUG-gettogether. FriFinans is a danish accounting tool written in Java… Open Source ofcourse.
