importing data into ZenCart

24.136.238.245: /* new tables */ new folder

=={{hide|Navigation}}==
[[computing]]: [[software]]: [[ZenCart]]: [[importing data into ZenCart|importing data]]
==Overview==
[[ZenCart]], as of this writing, has no facility for importing business data for other applications. Due to ZenCart's [[open source]] nature, however, it is not difficult to write such a routine and add it to the menu of available functions in the Administration section. The necessary particulars are not very well documented yet, so this page will be a collection point for that information.
==Patches==
'''''Note''': I am currently in the process of adding a bulk-image-upload capability; the code presented here works for bulk data entry, but the image upload capability is incomplete. --[[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 15:03, 10 March 2007 (EST)''
===custom_dhtml.php===
* '''new file''': admin/includes/boxes/custom_dhtml.php
<php><?php
/*
2006-09-17 (wzl) custom menu loader based on reports.dhtml and others

REQUIRES:
admin/custom_menu.php
single-line modification to admin/includes/header_navigation.php
*/
if (!defined('IS_ADMIN_FLAG')) {
die('Illegal Access');
}

define('CUSTOM_MENU_MODULE', 'custom_menu');

$za_contents = array();
$za_heading = array();
// 2006-09-17 (Wzl) this could ultimately use language defines, but for now I am hard-coding the text
$za_heading = array('text' => 'Jubilee Custom Functions', 'link' => zen_href_link(CUSTOM_MENU_MODULE, '', 'NONSSL'));
$za_contents[] = array('text' => 'Bulk product entry', 'link' => zen_href_link(CUSTOM_MENU_MODULE, 'set=prod_entry', 'NONSSL'));
?>

<?php
echo zen_draw_admin_box($za_heading, $za_contents);
?>
</php>
"Jubilee Custom Functions" can be replaced by whatever text seems appropriate; "Jubilee" was part of the name of the store I was setting up, and I wanted to make it clear to the owner that this was the menu entry I had written for him.
===custom_menu.php===

Removing extras_dhtml.php is optional; the store I was setting up had no use for it.
===new tables===
So far, I haven't needed to use the new table names in more than one file; if I do, I'll need to move the defines from '''admin/custom_menu.php''' to '''includes/database_tables.php'''
* '''new tables''':

You will need to create the '''{{faint|$zc}}/images/bulk''' folder and give it universal read/write permission (same as the images folder) in order for bulk uploads to work.

24.136.238.245: /* Flaws */

{{KDE software|KMyMoney}}
{{seed}}
[[KMyMoney]] is a [[KDE]] application for managing personal finances (bank accounts, credit cards, mortgages, etc.). It fills roughly the same niche as [[Microsoft Money]] and [[Quicken]].
==Flaws==
* In the scheduler, you can't skip payments. (Example: Harena has the monthly car insurance payment scheduled, but this month Woozle paid it. In order to make the "bill overdue!" reminder go away, Harena had to enter a payment and then delete it.) Also, if you manually enter a payment that has been scheduled, the scheduler will not recognize that the scheduled payment has happened, and the same thing will happen as above.
* On data import (or download), will not create account aliases; e.g. if the transaction shows "A C MOORE XXXXXXXXXXXX1111" as the payee, you have to choose between using that exact name for the payee or leaving the payee blank. This should be doable either at import time or at any other time, e.g. select a group of payees and tell the software they are the same payee, and all transactions for each of those payees would be consolidated.
* OFX importing will not work under Fedora Core 2, at present. (We have tried everything including recompiling KmyMoney and the OFX filter from source, with no luck.)
* On import, new transactions are shown in flashing red on yellow in the main window; this is very disturbing. (Don't know if there is any way to turn this off.)
* On import from a downloaded online banking ledger, no attempt is made to find existing transactions which match imported ones (other programs do this and mark the matching transaction as "cleared"); this reconciliation-and-marking must be done by hand.
* Under certain conditions, transaction text will blink red, with no apparent explanation of why. There is no information in the help text either. However, one of the "daily tips" mentions the circumstances under which this happens (something about an unassigned value in a split).
* When deleting an item from the Payee list (and probably other lists), the cursor goes back to the very top of the list. It should stay in the same place, i.e. highlight the item before or after the one deleted.
* When viewing transactions for a given payee, should be able to right-click on one or more transactions to have them reassigned to a different payee.
* When you have an entry highlighted/selected in the ledger, the up/down arrow keys should move the selection to previous/next entry, but they don't. (Update: this works ''sometimes''; can't figure out why it wasn't before. Bug?)
* In the "Split Transaction" editor, editing controls are awkward; you should be able to hit TAB to start editing a field (as in [[Microsoft Money]]), but instead you have to double-click (which took Harena some time to discover; single-clicking doesn't work).
* If you click on a previously non-selected new record, it allows you to edit it (shows all the fields etc.), but if you have already selected the new record (via down-arrow navigation) and then click on it, it does not let you edit. You have to select a different record and then ''click'' on the new record.

*Auto-fill in the memo fields (especially in splits) would be nice but not critical
*The amount fields are too narrow & you can't see what you are typing in them

24.136.238.245: testing email notification of watched pages

[[Category:2005-12]][[Category:Dated Items]]
==Usage Notes==
* I thought at first that "watching" a page would cause email notifications to be sent to all watchers when it changed, but unfortunately this does not appear to be the case, at least as currently configured. So for now, we'll each post an "updated [time]" notice on each other's talk pages so we know to check here... (update: found an option to receive emails; testing it now...)
* (TC) My watch of [[User Talk:Woozle]] sent me an update, though talk pages may be special. I'm watching this one now, so I'll update when something happens.
* (TC) And I don't remember how to insert an extra tab / create a sublist / whatever it's called these days in wiki.
** (W) Like this
*** This indents further
**: colon indents without a dot
**# "#" is like <ol>
**# ...but you have to be careful not to put any blank lines in...

**# ...or everything starts over.

<was almost an e-mail>

Nick,

So, after leaving them to sit patiently for what, three months now, I started to upload the Pinecrest scrapbook pictures yesterday... only to watch the server crash terribly and painfully shortly after.

First, I uploaded a .zip of two of the pictures (01 and 02). It didn't appear to be accepted (even into the recent files list) so I uploaded just the first picture as a PNG. Still no joy.

Then the server was dead, with the SQL error that I'm sure you know since it's fixed now.

I haven't tried .tar.gz, and seeing as how it's only a few dozen pictures it's probably not really worth the trouble save to know if it works; I can just use one of the backend tools to iteratively load them, if you think it'll be all right. I'm also on a commercial but low-bandwidth host now, so I could really host them if you'd prefer that.

-
On another note, would you notice if I used your talk page? I'm sending this through Yoohoo%!? since my home computer doesn't seem to like sshd running anymore, but the talk page would probably be more appropriate.

<Since you posted to my talk page before I could send this, I'll avoid the old RFCs this way. :)>

-
Finally, Outlook doesn't hang up when the connection's gone...

==2005-12-22 17:54 Further information==
So I dug up a real browser (i.e. not IE, aiee!), and get the ever-stimulating "Connection closed by remote server" dialog after each upload.

Any clues?

Thanks ->Tim
==2005-12-23 09:02 from Woozle==
Got your message. Not sure what's up; I recently installed an anti-spam extension, which seems to be working, and I don't ''think'' that should be affecting the uploading ability... but I'm out of town right now, on a dial-up, and not really equipped to check.

You'll probably need to upload files in their destination format, i.e. jpg or png (gif also should work, but for any given gif, png is usually smaller). I can configure the software to accept additional formats, but I don't think it would be able to show them as anything except a downloadable binary (i.e. you can't upload a bunch of images as a .tar.gz and have them automatically unzip, afaik, though I should remember to ask if this is feature is in the works because it would be quite useful).

I will try to remember to test uploads this weekend, after I get back; feel free to leave another message to remind me.

Got your message -- I just tried uploading a file and had no problems. Do you want to email me the file you're trying to upload and I'll try that? --[[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 17:09, 29 December 2005 (EST)

==2005-12-30 01:14 from Tdcrone==

The first one is:

[http://trifs.dyndns.org/pinecrest_01.png]

Fortunately I never bothered to set a max size, each file is aroung 10MB.

It occurs to me that perhaps the size is the matter...

Thanks,
-Tim
===Editor's Note===
Ok, the timestamp is definitely wrong here; the next message is in response to this one. --{{woozle}}
==2005-12-29 21:38 ok, yes, there's still a problem ==

I created a much smaller version of the file (200k) and was able to upload it, but this new server we're on now (as of about 2 days ago) is much more strict about security and they've turned off some stuff to which MediaWiki needs access in order to resize images... so the raw image is there, but all the resized versions are broken. I'm waiting for the sysadmin who knows of these things to get back from a funeral so we can work something out; hopefully sometime this weekend. Meantime, remind me to set up an FTP account so you can just upload things without going through the wiki (too close to bed time at the moment). --[[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 21:38, 29 December 2005 (EST)

== OT: Timestamp issues ==

Not really on topic, but I neglected to set my time zone so all my times are +5 (i.e. 12:00 should be 7:00). Based on this post, it appears to be fixed. Sorry... :)

== 2005-12-30 15:57 FTP site ==

(Ahh yeah, probably your timestamps all said (GMT) and I just didn't notice...)

I've set up an FTP site where you can put large image files. It has several GB of spare room, and I'll be clearing out more as soon as some stuff finishes downloading.

* '''server''': hypertwins.org
* '''user''': twinftp
* '''pass''': guest

We'll just use that for transferring large files for now, i.e. it won't be where the files actually live (for one thing, it's not accessible from http); eventually I'll set up something more permanent, if it seems like it would be useful.

Also, the server sysop has turned off the security restriction which was preventing image uploads from working properly, but I'm still having trouble with them; looking at this now. --[[User:Woozle|Woozle]] 15:16, 30 December 2005 (EST)

'''16:25'' update: Ok, the image upload problem seems to be fixed -- but I'll be happy to keep taking raw PNG files and webifying them so you're not doing all the work. :-)

MySQL

2005-11-08T23:43:00Z

24.136.238.245: /* Working Notes */ criticisms section

{{software|MySQL}}{{seed}}[[MySQL]] is a [[FOSS]] database engine and server. It fills roughly the same niche as [[Microsoft SQL Server]].

The MySQL package (at least in Linux) comes with a number of helper utilities, including [[MySQL Administrator]] and [[MySQL Query Browser]]. The Administrator utility is useful for making backups, and the Query Browser serves as a front-end for interacting with databases. The Query Browser is, however, somewhat buggy as of version 4.
==Criticisms==
MySQL has been criticized by at least one user of lacking production-quality features, with version 5.0 only just starting to add them, where as other [[FOSS]] alternatives such as [[PostgreSQL]] had such features in their very earliest versions. MySQL has also been criticized for bad performance, e.g. locking entire tables when it only should have locked a row, as well as general incompatibility (Editor's note: with what?). (See also [[Wikipedia:MySQL#Criticisms of MySQL]])
==Working Notes==
* To work around the Query Browser bug which won't let you edit a blank table, create the first entry using MySQL's command line interface:

woozle@camilla:~ $ mysql -h''yourhost'' -u''yourusername'' -p''yourpassword''
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 12531702 to server version: 4.1.13-standard

Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.

mysql> use ''yourdatabasename''
Reading table information for completion of table and column names
You can turn off this feature to get a quicker startup with -A

Database changed
mysql> insert into urole (''fieldname'') values("''sample value''");
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.05 sec)

mysql>

...where ''yourhost'' is the name of your MySQL server, and can be anything that can resolve to an IP address, e.g. localhost, yourmachinename, yourserverdomain.com, or an actual IP address (I think).
