News and announcements

Hi, folks,

I have posted a new release, v.0.24.1, of CK-ERP, at SourceForge.Net, http://sourceforge.net/projects/ck-erp .

New features include,

a connector for LegalCase and updated connectors for ClearHealth, OpenEMR and osCommerce,
facilities to convert sales order to purchase order and/or material/service requisition so as to procure the required material/service after a sale is concluded,
addition of a sample law office chart of accounts and a sample medical practice chart of accounts,
addition of Australian GST tax rate and updating of Canadian GST tax rate,
addition of narrow/wide display option for the various case handling screens,
addition of customer, vendor, employee contact lists, and,
addition of German translation for the Quotation module.

Special thank is due to David Epperson of Dallas for permission to make use of the "Law Firm Chart of Accounts" (located at http://www/txethics.org/TCLEPCOURSE2005/omlp/sec11.1.pdf) while generating the sample law office chart of accounts. The effort by Stefan Kemper of Switzerland in producing the new German translations is also gratefully acknowledged.

I have a new module that adds drag and drop functionality to creating menus.

It is in beta testing currently and its release here is sponsored by WebChuck Development. The source code for the module will be made available shortly.

You may try out the demo at http://www.hyrme.com/easymenu/settings and leave me any feedback here.

Overall Open Source CMS Award Final: Drupal

E-mails sent from a Drupal-powered site usually consist of just the e-mail address, but not the real name of the sender. This is especially bad when creating communities that offer multiple communication channels like invite-a-friend, private messages and other sorts of user notifications.

I have created about 35+ videos for beginners (with no website development experience) to get started with Drupal. The tutorial series takes a beginner
all the way from registering a domain to creating full blown sites using various modules - web forms, surveys, ecommerce, polls, blogs, image galleries all with an SEO perspective. You can view these Drupal CMS videos at http://www.seoecom.com/cms .
