Hi, all Any SQL-ledger users at SLUG?
Re: POS - productlist, checkbox required instead of radio button When picking product items, would it be possible to have checkboxes instead of radio buttons so that one can pick multiple items to build up the invoice? To select one item at a time takes ages. The other issue is that every time the page is refreshed with a single new item, this can take from 5 to 25 seconds - despite the fact that user is on the local host, not on a remote terminal. Could this lack of speed be due to Apache not being tuned? For a ten or 20-item invoice it would take about 5 minutes to build up the invoice, because remember that a fresh product list is called up after choosing the last item. Any pointers? I suspect my 600 mhz CPU and 64mb ram is not the issue as this is just a tiny demo database. Are there any other good open-source POS programs out there? >On my laptop I have currently installed > >1. Linux OS, >2. Apache as the web Http server and >3.
