Creating some short documentation

I have created a couple of documents.
One quick tasks document, one page, most important task for a vendor.
The other is a shortcut keys for lemon and squeeze. For the shorkeys, i have changed them because some of them did not worked, at least in my system… it was a weird problem, i choose for example a CTRL-P and it was assignated Alt-( ..

Also i have made some changes to the code, it seems this fixed a crash -the weird one- , and other things. These changes are on the SVN in the branch “PERSA”.

UPDATE:
I have uploaded the pdf files to the webpage, links can be found here, at the wiki.

Trac for bugs/feature post

Recently I added trac, there you can post tickets for bugs or feature requests, or submit enhancements.
The link for trac is here .
you can also see the roadmap and the timeline for the project.

For those not subscribed to the mailing list, i have sent a patch for lemonpos SVN revision 285. Also you can see the list archive here

Opensuse package

Hello everybody.

I was curious about lemonpos around the web, so i ask google. It was a surprise for me to find a lemonpos0.6.1 package for opensuse at rmp pbone. It was known that (k)ubuntu already added lemonpos to their universe repo (even for jaunty).

Now, im working on new features, wait a 0.7 version soon.

Upcoming new release

Hi everybody!

In the next days I will release lemon POS 0.6, it will get new features and bug fixes.
Any way, the SVN last revision is the Release Candidate for 0.6.

Now, Im just polishing it…

So, dont forget to check here and the kde-apps project page for download it.

Quick Information for Squeeze

Recently I have been looking for a chart widget for squeeze. I’ve got a piechart example from a kde developer and It liked to me. So I put hands on to integrate the example in squeeze start screen to show some useful information from the sales and stock. The only problem is that the example is just that -a concept- and it has a few functionalities. There is some work to fix some things and expand it; or wait for a complete widget from this guy or to use the qwt ones (Im not good drawing at runtime with qpainter).

Here is a screenshot of the concept, of course it’s just an example.

Quick Sales and Stock Information

The piechart author is Rafael Fernández López and the link to the blog article is http://www.ereslibre.es/?p=97

At the begining

I want to show some screenshots to remember the begining of this project, started as a challenge. Here you will see the User Interface at the first stage, and the first name I choose for the porject, later changed to Lemon; just to name it with something representative of my  birth place (Colima, Mexico).

Code cleaning completed

Some days ago I finished the code cleaning and revision, for at least the data access code, and general code revision. As a result, i found and fixed some minor bugs, and added new code here and there. Squeeze got a new navigation menu to make it  look better, this is a transitional change in order to make it more usable and look beautiful, now it uses a third-party (gpl’ed) widget, until I implement my own navigation menu I want.

Squeeze with new Navigation menu

These changes will be available in the SVN repository as version 0.6 in a few days, but not in the tar’ed source code file in sourceforge downloads until i package it and analize gpl ver 3.

Work in progress

Hello people.

I have been working to rewrite some code in lemonpos to separate a little more the logic and presentation from the data access. It’s a hard work to complete this task, but the result will help to have a more readable and maintainable code. Aside this work, I have been adding things and correcting the database structure.

The new things include a new dialog to check prices without entering items into the “basket”, accessible with a simple key stroke. A new field in the offers-table of the database to store begining of offers. Code to delete offers when deleting products. Filter for the offers now works, and you can filter offers by dates (month offers, finished offers) in the administration tool.

Here some screenshots:

I hope, in a couple of weeks, to make a new release.
Stay tuned.

Presentation

Lemon is at developing stage. Here you can follow the current developing process and see what’s new.

Lemon has two modules or executables:

1. lemon: which is the selling module.
2. squeeze: which is the adminisitration module.

At the administration module, squeeze, you can edit, add and delete products as well as users, clients, promotions, measures and categories.

lemon, the selling module, supports ticket printers, but it is tested only with a Star Micronics SP500 parallel printer.

Both modules, are localized, which means that can be translated to any language. Currently its translated to spanish, french, and chinesse, but the spanish translation is the only 100% translated.

All information is located in a database, for this purpose we use mysql.
