Hi Oliver,
>> It works very well, and was surprisingly easy to install.
Good to know :)
>>## 1. Transaction reciepts
While making a payment, you have a section called "Show Payment Details"
where you can enter payment details like Bank account number, routing code,
receipt number, notes etc. The Payment receipt is a report generated by
Mifos based on these details.
To view this report, you would have to copy over the pentahoReports folder
shipped with the release to a folder named ".mifosx" in the home directory
of the user starting tomcat (Ex: C:\Users\vishwas\.mifosx\pentahoReports )
If you are looking to upload and view your own receipts, you can do so
under the loan documents section (currently mifos supports attaching
documents directly for a loan, not against individual payments)
>>## 2. Translation
The preferred approach is to make the changes in translate wiki. The folks
at transalatewiki send pull requests for all translations changes on a
regular basis.
The translation files are present at
https://github.com/openMF/community-app/tree/develop/app/global-translations
if you want to edit and view the same locally. However, the format for
uploading to transalate wiki is different ( see
https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Offline )
>>## 4. Javascript errors
The app is tested on Firefox and Chrome. You would see date related errors
etc on IE / Safari.
>>Even if it is the same version, those error appear on my local
installation, but not on the online demo. Any idea why ?
Are you accessing the the app from the local file system (that would cause
issues on Chrome etc), if you are deploying the app
on a server (or using grunt serve) , you should not be seeing any issues.
Maybe try clearing your cache ?
>>Should I report all those errors directly on github's issue tracker ?
Jira issue tracker is preferred (
https://mifosforge.jira.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa) . You could also follow
up on them on the developer mailing list with the corresponding Jira id
>>Also, am I right understanding Mifos user's capability is limited to his
Office ?
That is correct
Regards,
Vishwas
