CiteCRM v.0.2.001
Maintaining any business requires some way to track expenses, income, etc. A while ago I found Cite CRM on Sourceforge.net. I first encountered it at v.0.1.0 I believe. A few weeks ago I found it was at v.0.2.0 so I figured I would try it out.
The interface is pretty well laid out and easy to understand. Add a customer, create a work order, close and invoice. I did find one problem though. I couldn’t create a schedule in connection with a work order. The scheduling allows you to plan when you will be either on-site for work, or scheduling future jobs. However, I kept getting an error saying "Start and End time can’t be the same". I posted on the forum at the Sourceforge site, but the project apparently has been abandoned.
A few weeks later I posted just in case someone knew how to fix it. I hadn’t made the time to debug the PHP code yet. Someone did post the fix (add quotes around a variable assignment) and sure enough it worked. I wanted to submit my changes, but the owner of the project has apparently abandoned it. The code and documentation are superb. I can clearly understand the author’s intentions and the code comments provide direction on existing code and future enhancements.
I decided to spend some time working on the few grammar and spelling errors in the install program. I also rewrote the README file as well as adding a changelog.txt file. So now I’m offering these modifications to anyone who wants to try them out. Please use the email address in the README file or these comments to point out bugs.
