Simplified Chinese characters are displayed as square boxes in POS

2009-09-27 Thread ngterry

Hi,

I am using Windows XP Simplified Chinese Version SP3, Sun JDK5.0 Update 20.
I want to run Apache Ofbiz POS; however, the Chinese characters (zh) in
PosUiLabels.xml are all displayed as square boxes in POS panel.

I have tested run Ofbiz in Mac OS X and the Simplified Chinese are displayed
normally, and other languages can also be displayed in Windows XP.

I think there should be some settings in fontconfig.properties in
%JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib that I can work on. But I don't know what is going
wrong.

I have copied the font SimSun.ttf to %JAVA_HOME%\jre\lib\fonts.

What should I do?

Regards,
Terence

How to add Provinces Data of China to Ofibz?

2009-09-24 Thread ngterry

Hi,

How to add Provinces Data of China to Ofibz?

I have created GeoData_CN.xml in /framework/common/data,

and add 
entity-resource type=data reader-name=seed loader=main
location=data/GeoData_CN.xml/
to /framework/common/ofbiz-component.xml

But I still cannot see the data in dropdown list.

Moreover, how to add other locale of the Provinces Data?  e.g. English name
of Chinese Provinces.

Terence

POS resolution 800x600

2009-09-22 Thread ngterry

Hi,

I have just modified the hard code variables in
/specialpurpose/pos/screens/default to fit 800x600 resolution by ratio.  But
the screen seems biased to the upper left.  How can I adjust it to the
center?  

Do I have to add several pixels to the top and left to orgin (0,0) to move
it back to center?

Re: JavaPOS exception with Epson TM-T88IV USB receipt printer

I guess in PortName, you have to fill in/replace by something like usb,

 G'day list members
 Not quite sure if this is the right place, but here we go.
 I have an Epson TM-T88IV USB receipt printer connected to a machine  
 running on Ubuntu Linux.
 When trying to connect to the printer, I get the following exception:
 
 The port name is illegal. or couldn't be connected to the device.
 
 The exception also appers in Epsons CheckHealthTest. I have a running  
 kernel module 'usbtm', several /dev/usb/usbtm* devices and a jpos.xml,  
 where the port is registered like this:
 
 prop name=PortName type=String value=TM-T88IV/
 
 I have tried all(?) of the available Options in SetupPOS, none of them  
 did the trick.
 When uninstalling the driver, Epson's shell script asks me to  
 disconnect the device and waits until I have done so. So, I guess,  
 that the printer is actually seen by the driver, but I cannot connect  
 and print to it.
 
 Any hints? Thank you in Advance

Re: Cannot login using seed data

2009-08-28 Thread ngterry

I have found another docs:
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/~jacopoc/Quick+Start+Guide+1+-+Getting+and+Running+OFBiz+in+5+steps

It tells that to install seed only, by using:
ant run-install-extseed create-admin-user-login

But I do not have ext data to cover the demo data.  Why not run ant
run-install-seed instead?

What is seed-initial?  From
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBTECH/Apache+OFBiz+Technical+Production+Setup+Guide

Definition: Seed Initial Data is data that is only required the first time
the system is loaded like the password of the admin user. Later if you want
to update the seed data, you normally do not want the password of admin set
back to the 'ofbiz' value.

But I have tested and cannot login using admin/ofbiz.  Could somebody
clarify it/teach me?

Button name=SKU.GZ-7000 x=408 y=62 w=100 h=60

Button name=SKU.WG-5569 x=510 y=62 w=100 h=60
style=skuButtonWidget content=WIDGET 1 alignment=Center/

!-- line 3 --
Button name= x=0 y=124 w=100 h=60 style=posButton
content= alignment=Center/

I guess switching the SKU.GZ-7000 for example to other product for Product
Shortcut.

Where can I find the definition of the different style (e.g. skuButtonGizmo,
skuButtonWidget)?

Could I replace the text by an image?
