Port ERP module to Drupal 7

Preliminary work was started about 6 months ago, but real d7 development should start to happen soon, and i'll probably commit that once the new git infrastructure is live on drupal.org.

This would be nice, to be kept in the loop. Will keep an eye close.

Thanks

git migration done! 8))

Looking at current erp structure and looks like fieldapi from D7 with commerce module are good successors for it
integration with commerce would give to erp many points for feature developing

all the forms from erp exported as fields to views

all the UI for erp created using views, the same done in commerce but with views3
internal commerce "erp" not so good yet, but possibly integration can do that more deeply and usable.

looking forward to make it possible!

This is an interesting idea and one that I will keep and eye on. I wonder how singularo see's this and how much work is done on erp. Currently playing with erp and fun a few issues, but now will bring up a commerce install and see how it plays out.

Thanks

Subscribing - this would be something that I'll be quite interested in! Just wondering, what's the status of this port?

Ping?

Been working on some updates for what is in D.O, have posted some patches. Looking at posting some more patches, but was wondering how the Drupal 7 Migrate/Update is coming? Would rather be working on D7 than older D6 stuff. Can we not yet see what their is already? Give us a chance to work with it and help?

Thanks
LeeT

I am also interested in the status of the new version for Drupal 7.

I'll see if I can get time to commit where i'm up to with the d7 version soon, but it is rebuilt from scratch, utilising core fields and features and a few modules, rather than porting to d7.

I'm spending most of the time so far working on the upgrade/import routing from d6 to d7.

This approach does mean that it will be very flexible for customisation from the base "product" though, so I believe it will be well worth the effort.

Does this mean further work on the D6 version has all but stopped? I have been working on few things and would like to add them back to D.O. and get feed back on how well it's been or not been done.

Thanks

@Singularo: Yes, I think that rebuilding the D7 version from scratch, using entities and entity types, will be the best way to do it. I wouldn't bother trying to port the D6 to the D7 version.
I've recently looked into the Relations module, which is also very impressive; you might want to get inspired by what they are using.

Please give an update of how far you currently are with a first D7 version? Thanks! When posted, I think it will attract a LOT of attention, there are very little amount of financial modules. What sub-modules did you have in mind?

Finally got a chance to upload my patches, hope they make cut.

Could you make a dev release for D7?

Can you give us a date by when the first version will be available? Thanks.

I've just committed the D7 rewrite to date as a new 7.x-2.x branch.

However, I've just started working on custom code for the "lines" widget, and so things are in quite a state of flux at the moment. The reliance on field_collection & field_collection table for invoice, quote, po, goods receive will be removed once I finish the lines widget, and that will greatly simplify the structure of the data tables.

This will also require lots of changes to the upgrade script.

I know that some of you are keen to know if there is any progress, so I thought it worth giving some idea on where my plan is at/heading.

No ETA for final version at this stage, juggling work and play ;-)

This is awesome. Going to do a check out tomorrow and play a little. Get my feet wet and then maybe ask many questions.

Thanks

Got bored and made a quick drush make file

api = 2

core = 7.x
projects[] = drupal

projects[] = views
projects[] = features
projects[] = strongarm
projects[] = html5_tools
projects[] = date
projects[] = fullcalendar
projects[] = context
projects[] = quicktabs
projects[] = field_group
projects[] = field_collection
projects[] = field_collection_table

projects[erp][type] = module
projects[erp][download][type] = "git"
projects[erp][download][revision] = "7.x-2.x"

Have not tested the code, but this is a beginning. It's not an install profile and I don't think we have a theme yet, but this is a basic start. A few things missing, like ToDo, ReadMe and Install docs. Would like to see a end user manual and hope that we can do this too. Really document how to use and maybe best way to take advantage of awesome features on the erp module(s).

Wondering what the status of this is, seems like the D7 is going to be slick...would like to give it a try.

I believe that the D7 port is functional, but singularo is working further on the item widget, if I understand it correctly. Must admit, I am waiting until the widget is in place, before I start working on the D7 port myself.

Tried contacting singularo - no response. I have a project which I need to create a prototype for...if this functionality is close then there is a good chance I could provide some funding for further dev of this module. I can't seem to find the project on github and no D7 dev version is on Drupal.org yet. Can anyone point me in the right direction here? Thanks!

@joel_osc you can try the 7.2-2.x branch (git clone http://drupal.org/project/erp && git checkout 7.x-2.x ...I think) and see if it works for your purposes. Cheers.

@joel_osc, you can also use the make file I post #17.

If I understand correctly, it just the items part that is still be worked on, which will make erp system way easier to work with. I have been hold off on using the D7 build because of this, but maybe soon I will be having some free time to play some more.

Best of luck.

...less vague title for our dashboards + tags ;)

...this is more like a task too (besides, support requests are never supposed to have "major" priority). Sorry for the noise.

There is still much to do with the D7 port, and i've had a few stops, starts, restraces and more as I work through possible ways to do things.

I do hope to have some more useful updates soon.

Simon

At least there is still work been done on D7 port.

Should have a plan of on going things and maybe would be nice to know what them retraces are and why you think it better, what ever you working on. I know that I have a few things that I would really like to see in the D7 port, part of that I have also added to the current D6 platform.

Will hold you to seeing updates soon!

Thanks
LeeT

Thanx for taking the time to update us on the status Simon.

Thanks for the updates. Please I want to know if D7 version is ready for download? if not, when can it be ready?

Subscribing. Interested in trying a test build with this to see how it will work.

+1 Subscribing - would enjoy adding this to new D7 installs.

This sounds great - Im currently using Commerce and this would be a great add on to running an online business

I am wondering if a collaborative effort could be made with some of the other existing modules similar to ERP could be made for those looking for a D7 solution.

I especially like the initial work that has been done on the http://drupal.org/project/ledger module. It doesn't yet have all the functionality of ERP or "Project Management Module" for example, but I feel like what has been done there could be built upon rather than creating competing modules.

Seems like Ledger could be used for accounting, PMM for Project Management, and ERP for other business management tools. All as part of a Business Suite.

Just a thought.

Hi, is there updates for D7? Where can be downloaded at least DEV version?

@Observer123. You can use git to download a development version at https://drupal.org/node/57818/git-instructions/7.x-2.x, though I would bet it is not ready for use. I recommend you try using one of the other modules I mentioned in #32 as I think they are getting a little more attention.

Thanks for the interest.

Since d8 is so close, there is basically zero chance of a d7 version ever being released. I wrote a lot of import code a couple of different ways, and built out a whole conversion of the d6 version into cck and away from custom code looking into doing the d7 upgrade, but have not had a really compelling reason to finish the upgrade so far.

We have continued a llittle work on the d6 version internally, and may release an update of that soon with some extra features, but it continues to work well for us.

No plans for d8 yet, waiting for things to stabilise a bit more.

Since d8 is so close, there is basically zero chance of a d7 version ever being released.

Even if D8 was released yesterday (which won't happen for another year at least IMO), I bet it would take at least another year for the most commonly used modules to be ported. That means a long time before D8 starts being used in production for actual sites. Also, the current policy is that at any given time there are two versions of core supported: the latest + the previous one.

So, the only reason for no D7 version here is pure lack of interest and time/energy from the current maintainers or any new developer (a totally understandable reason and a respected thing).

klonos is right. Can we have a DEV version of this module so that others can use , test and develop it further?

Thanks for the great work/effort put on this module
