Yes you can view them, at least in the 2.0 version. I store a ton of PDFs in FengOffice.

Can we upgrade from Beta 3 to RC, or do we have to go through Beta 4, then RC?

Feature requests / Re: weblinks and bookmarks.

I suppose you could just import SQL data, which would have to be made from data from either a bookmarks file or an xml file.

The table to import into is fo_objects, from what I can tell. And you would need to know what the object_type_id field is also (it's "4" in my installation, but I don't know if that's consistent across other installs.)

This is for FengOffice 2.0 Beta3, BTW.

Feng Office 2 / another "Missing lang.js" issue

« on: February 20, 2012, 04:27:19 am »

This is with FO 2.0 Beta3.

This suddenly started happening after a DDOS attack on the server. I had good backups of both the DB and the FO install, so I restored everything to make sure. No go.

Clearing cache doesn't help, as suggested in other threads.

I've also tried this on a *few* different web hosts (free)  now to see if that made any difference. Again, no luck.

The only place I've successfully been able to get everything back to normal was to install apache/mysql/php on my ubuntu laptop and restore there, and even then it only worked if I chose MyISAM as the database instead of InnoDB.

Way back when I was running OpenGoo 1.0 this same problem appeared, and a two line change in some of the php was suggested that fixed it. I can't remember what it was, and a search doesn't produce anything other than the suggestion to clear cache.

Installation problems / Re: How to upgrade without changing mysql dB?

« on: September 12, 2009, 05:02:50 pm »

I have a related question:  I want to upgrade, but I'm using a much older verion (Ver. 1.0).  Am I able to upgrade without losing all my DB data?  I have gigs of documents stored.

Thanks.

How To's / Re: Using opengoo with a small law practice?

« on: November 26, 2008, 02:06:00 pm »

oh yea, for time keeping, tasks also have a "start/stop" for time tracking... so you could create a task under a client workspace, use the start/stop (basically a stop watch it seems?) to track the time, then transfer that to a document for totaling up later.

I do pretty much the same as you've said in both your posts - I use Workspaces for further refining contacts, and for tasks and milestones I always use Sẗart/Stop to track time. That's really all I need for billable hours.  I wish there were some way to incorporate other expenses (such as tangible items), ut I think that would require incorporating a full blown invoicing program, which would be difficult, I would imagine.

@Capitan:  I meant to say PHPCoin, not OpenCoin.  Sorry.

I don't run a law office, but I run my own small translation business and am so far using this pretty successfully.

1 - Yes, you can definitely keep a list of clients, and even make it more fine grained.
2 - Yes, you can keep track of time spent of clients and projects.
3 - Yes, you can track completion of a project and it can also be flagged as late if you wish.

As far as invoicing, you currently can't within OpenGoo, however, if you have MySQL installed (which you would if you are using OpenGoo), there are several options available to you.  I currently am using a package called OpenCoin, which is offered by my hosting company.  It's pretty complete for what it is, and you can have PDFs automatically created and emailed to the client.

As far as tracking costs, you can't currently do that, but if you are working off an hourly billing rate, you can easily calculate costs using the track tasks/milestones function.  I don't know of any way to actually track other tangible expenses within OpenGoo.  Again, any invoice package would be able to handle that.

Getting Started / Re: Which webhosting company do you use for OpenGoo?

« on: November 17, 2008, 01:36:04 am »

I'm on Siteground.

Although I've read a lot of bad reviews of them (usually support related), I've not had any problems myself.

No problems with setup.
