Simple Invoices - Forum

Hey everyone

My name's Jason, and I thought I'd introduce myself. I've just discovered this program, and not only does it do what I need, it does it in a language I know :) So I thought I would offer my help.

I'm a uni student, studying multimedia design at Curtin Uni in Perth. I taught myself PHP a few years ago, and have had a fair amount of practice, but haven't done that much work collaborating in projects, so this should be fun for me.

One of the features I would like to implement is a bit of an install script (Unless someone else is already doing that, I haven't read much of the forums yet.)

Anyway, thanks Justin for heading up the project and to everyone else whose been working on it. Look forward to joining in :)

G'Day Jason,

welcome to Simple Invoices - great to have you aboard this project!!

As far as im aware no one written any code for the installer ( http://code.google.com/p/simpleinvoices/issues/detail?id=52 )

An installer for Simple Invoices would be a great help, many people have asked for it and i think it would help people who havent used php/mysql/etc get Simple Invoices up and running.

for more info refer:
http://simpleinvoices.org/index.php?page=GetInvolved
http://code.google.com/p/simpleinvoices/issues/list

dont hesitate to post on the forum etc if you've any queries

have fun

Cheers

Justin

Hi Jason

Today I created the basics for your installer (table_prefix). Are you still planing to write an installer? Perhaps you can contact me or write here in the forum.

Do you mean an installer to create your own php layout or databases without having to code it out?

justin

something like what joomla/mambo/etc.. have

an installer script that asks for you db details, creates the tables, sets the permissions etc..

basically so the end user doesn't have to go into phpmyadmin and import the .sql and chmod the dirs etc..

cheers

I didnt get the point of installer? You need web based instaler, smth like you just put "http://localhost/instalsimpleinvoices.php" in your browser, or some external program in Python or Perl?

justin

Hey Max,

it'll be a web page in php that take you through the steps of setting up Simple Invoices

step 1. create db
step 2. populate the db
step 3. enter config.php details
etc..

so that people who aren't familar with things like phpMyAdmin, chmod etc.. can easily setup Simple Invoices without being scared off

Cheers

Justin
