Hi,

Just a little post on our c2c_webkit_report in order to explain how to deal with header and footer in this new report system. Have a look at our new video here:

We want to thank you all for your numerous feed-backs, contributions and comments on this module. It seems that it already has a great success :) ! OpenERP also gave me its agreement to include it as a standard module for v6.0 : what a great news!

WebKit Report : system revolution for OpenERP

Saturday, June 26th, 2010 by Joël Grand-Guillaume

Dear community and partners,

At the last Community & Partners meeting, Camptocamp participated to several workshops on various topics. One of them was on the reporting system of OpenERP; following this workshop, some conclusions have been drawn on which direction to follow. Mainly, we though that we needed a more powerful engine than RML (for better performance) as well as something more easy to use (to reduce costs).

Today, we do have such a solution, including all the requirements discussed together back in March !!

Camptocamp Business Solutions’ team is proud to announce the release of OpenERP WebKit Report as a module for the V5.0 of OpenERP. You can find it in the extra-addons branch as the module called "c2c_webkit_report". This newly released module includes the following main features:

  • OpenERP Compliant (translation, formatLang, pdf/html output)
  • HTML & CSS-3 Reports definition
  • Multi-plateform (Windows, Linux, OS X)
  • Multi-header support with full image support (per report and/or per company)
  • Multi-company compliant
  • Full JavaScript support
  • Easy paper-size, margin and format selection
  • And more : Raw HTML debugger, futur full integrated WYSIWYG editor, …

Watch the live demo here: http://files.me.com/nbessi/06n92k.mov

I want to thank all the participants for their contributions and the constructive work that has been done for drafting the specifications, particularly Nicolas Bessi who created this amazing module!

We are going to work hand-in-hand with OpenERP SA to integrate this new report engine into the core of the future version 6.0 of OpenERP. We hope, you will enjoy it!

Best regards,

Joël Grand-Guillaume

OERPScenario, the test suite for OpenERP

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010 by Joël Grand-Guillaume

Hi!

On February 12, 2010, at the last IRC meeting between OpenERP SA and the Official Partners, OERPScenario has been accepted as the Official test suite for the version 5.0 of OpenERP. Camptocamp is very proud of this milestone since our team has spent a lot of energy in the development of this project, allowing OpenERP to become more stable and more reliable.

In order to scale up this project, we recently improved the usage and ease of the test launching by reviewing the tags.

We are also currently working to implement OERPScenario into the continuous integration server of OpenERP : http://test.openobject.com/ .  This will guarantee the use of the test suite in the development process, the resulting tests being run before every release.

Your contributions are essential to help us write scenarios ; for this purpose,  we created a documentation. This documentation concerns both technical and business individuals and will be soon included in the http://doc.openerp.com website. For now, you can have access to it by downloading the following pdf : http://dev.camptocamp.com/files/OERPScenario/documentation.pdf

Business individuals can easily write scenarios description using the Gherkin Syntax as explained into the documentation. Feel free to add your own as a blueprint on Launchpad :

https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oerpscenario

Camptocamp will write them all as soon as possible, but developers are welcome to help us :)

Feel free to ask your questions in the OERPScenario’s FAQ (https://answers.launchpad.net/oerpscenario ), we’ll be happy to help you understand, use and contribute to OERPScenario.

Best regards,

Joël Grand-Guillaume

Customizing OpenERP to support international companies

Tuesday, March 2nd, 2010 by Joël Grand-Guillaume

Hi,

I am proud to announce the integration of Camptocamp’s work in the future stable version of OpenERP. It took place a few days ago in the trunk branch! This work consisted of improving the management of the multi-company component in OpenERP. It is now possible to define, for each product and each company, the currency and the price field to assign to a specific product.

Our contribution resulted in the following improvements:

  • Use the new company defined price type (currency and field) for a product
  • Adapt stock accounting
  • Adapt analytic accounting and Timesheet
  • Factorize part of the code to ease the maintenance (mostly in analytic accounting)
  • Add the multi-currency fesature on analytic lines (therefore, making it similar to the financial accounting)
  • Correct the analytic indicators to take care of multi-currency entries
  • Keep the same default setting to ease the transition to the new feature

As a result, it is now possible for companies to  share the same product between them, eventhough they don’t use the same currency and/or same cost price. This applies to  manufacturing companies and services companies, as this improvement concerns both stock and analytic accounting.

We can manage one field per company on the product form to store the cost of a given price type (and so for a given company). This simplifies the price updating quite a lot.

Browsing the analytic account on the tree view now displays the right values according to each account currency!

We also back-port those modules on the current stable version, in the extra-addons branch with the following names:

  • c2c_multicost_base
  • c2c_multicost_expense
  • c2c_multicost_project_timesheet
  • c2c_multicost_stock
  • c2c_multicost_timesheet
  • c2c_multicost_timesheet_invoice
  • c2c_multicost_user_function

More news soon about our next contribution!

Best regards,

Joël Grand-Guillaume

One Time Password on OpenERP by Camptocamp

Monday, February 22nd, 2010 by Joël Grand-Guillaume

Hi,

Camptocamp is proud to announce the release of 2 new modules and a specific branch of the GTK client, providing OpenERP with OTP (One Time Password). The GTK client has been modified and now presents a third field on the login form, preventing overload on the OpenERP server.

The server part is composed of two modules:

  • The first one, supporting OTP in a generic way (handling session, …)
  • The second one, providing support for the Yubikey system (http://www.yubico.com/products/yubikey/).

You can download the GTK client here:

bzr clone bzr+ssh://bazaar.launchpad.net/~c2c/openobject-client/5.0-c2c-otp/

…and find the following server modules in the official extra-addons branch:

  • c2c_one_time_password_login
  • c2c_one_time_password_login_yubikey_provider

If you want to try it, buy a yubikey, download the client and install both modules. You just need to provide the Yubikey identifier on the required user. That’s it !

Feel free to make your comments or contributions to support another OTP system.

Enjoy !
