Any feedback , suggestions are most welcome.
bad thing to say around me,
But seriously,
i would love the program and use it, IF i didnt have to register to use it over my local network,
i mean, i wouldnt mind manually installing updates to Tonido or the applications just as long as i could use the thing,
Now, also after i just opened my mouth there,
i'll admit i have not downloaded the portable version yet to see if it allows use without registering,
the net access i'm borrowing is dialup and a 25meg download will take a bit,
so its going to be downloaded after my post here,
As for actual suggestions for the program / applications,
well i was looking at Tonido mainly because i havnt had a job in a while and wanted to start doing some odd jobs around town, and the ability to use Tonido Money Manager over my network appealed to me for keeping track of such things,
i mean grabbing my laptop and adding stuff while listening to the news (or cartoons,
) beats sitting at my desktop doing it,
Anyways,
a way to do invoices in Tonido Money Manager would be awesome,
(using HTML tables and such i dont imagine it would be that hard, i was going to look at doing it in such a way myself)
also a customer list tied into such invoices, say either by name or customer ID number,
that way you can keep a customers name / address and all related invoices in one place,
and an inventory list could also be handy for such things,
say like with a main category per item, so all things like steel could be listed in one category, and then youd have the columns as: item name/id number | number of items in stock | price | notes,
so to explain it a little more here,
under navigation you would have 3 new items:
invoices
customers
inventory
clicking invoices would open a sub navigation list and in the main view show a list of all invoices youve ever done (columns as such: Invoice number | Customer name | Amount due), clicking an invoice number, either in the sub-navigation list or the main window would take you to that invoice (which would list things like the invoice ID, PO number if there is one, customer name, the date/time it was created or when work was for, then a list of items used, time spent, prices for each and a total ...the ability to add custom fields would be nice), clicking a customer name/ID on the invoice would work as below, (Also if you tie the inventory into the invoices, so they automatically add cost and such to the when you create a new one, clicking an item would take you to its item entry. BUT, if tied in as such, you would have to be sure that invoices keep static prices, even if the item has been updated, so as not to change the prices on your old invoices,)
clicking customers would open a sub navigation list and in the main view show a list of all your clients, clicking a clients, either in the sub-navigation list or the main window would take you to that clients information page, shown here would be their address, phone numbers and invoices, two invoice list would be nice here, invoices due and paid invoices,
clicking inventory would show a list of all the items you have in stock, item categories could be separated by a thick line here or such, the items would then be listed, per category, by name or ID number, clicking an item name/number, either in the sub-navigation list or the main window would take you to that items entry, which is where itd show all the info like a description, how many items you have, how much each item cost, and if you want to make it Really complicated, a list of invoices that have this item listed in them,
if you guys do add such things, (which would be great, imo, specially if you added them to MMEX to keep it compatible,
)
a Search option in all that would be nice, instead of having to do it 'by hand',
...and im not even going to touch things like employees / payroll and other such things,
its beyond the scope of my use and i wouldnt know where to start with that,
so, yeah, told you it was a bad idea to ask for suggestions where i can hear you,
Anyways,
Main point:
Allow Tonido to be used with-OUT having to register it for local use, i have no use for the forwarding service,
its a great idea, but its just not for me,
(Specially since i want to use this for fiances, and that is something i would Not trust the internet in-general with, i never even used online banking, so my trust issues are not just with this program,
)
Again, i havnt downloaded the portable version, so idk if it needs to be registered or not yet,
i'll do so when i can here,
second point:
invoices would be nifty/handy,
...and save me from having to do it by html/java script or php,
Anyways, im off to download the portable version,
so if you read this, thanks for taking the time to go through my overly explained ideas, ^-^;
