Playing With V3 alpha

(1/8) > >>

emre:
Finally I've succeeded on creating tickets with V3 :)

I finished infrastructural improvements and from now on we can continue its development together. So I've published it for friends who wants to help us on V3 development by testing or coding.

Please keep in mind this is only an alpha release and there are lots of bugs.
Do not use alpha releases on production environments.

What's New?
* Accounting module: On V3 Customers are accounts.
* Order Tags: Replaces V2 Gift and Void buttons. We'll use it for modifiers too.
* Calculation Templates: V2 service templates. This one supports discounts too. If button header given it will add buttons to Payment screen. It also contains account mappings.
* Payment Templates: Payment Buttons and account mappings.
* Ticket Templates: Account mappings of tickets and other mapping features.

Known Issues:
* Validations not finished for new modules so do not delete used records.
* Reports may create wrong results.
* Some reports won't work.
* Some features won't work :)
* Alpha releases won't upgrade database so you'll loose past data on next alpha releases.

Basic Roadmap:
* First of all I'll translate all V3 issues to English on Github website and we'll continue development through github issues. So new features, bug fixes will become trackable.
* Some V2 features does not exists on V3. We'll implement all missing features.
* We'll hunt bugs for a stable V3
* We'll migrate translations from V2 and update missing strings.
* We'll create migration application from V2
* Continue development of new V3 features.

What do I need ?
I released it only for demonstrating new features. I'm still making infrastructural changes. For now you can evaluate new features for getting familiar with them and share your thoughts on how can we benefit from new features. I'll release new alpha soon.

That's all for now. I'll add more information as asked...

Emre,

Congratulations on the Alpha milestone.

Well done to all the SambaPOS Team.

emre:
Thank you John..

I forgot to say something. You'll notice we've abstracted lots of features and their names are also abstract too. For example you'll create a "calculation template" for adding a "discount button" or a "tip button" to payment screen. Or you'll define a "default target account" while creating a "account transaction template" :)

I also need your ideas for better naming of these abstract features.

JohnS:
Emre,

Very nice - I've spent the last hour playing with V3, and like it - A LOT.

As far as the feature names go, they do make sense to me.
But then again I'm use to the way you think and the way you associate and link features. I think this needs to be revisited towards the end of Beta. New people to SambaPOS may struggle a little with the concepts and structure until they become familiar with it, but that has been the same with V2 - its a learning curve until you start to understand it.

As I spend more time testing V3, I may have better naming conventions.

Hi Emre,

Thank you for the V3 Alpha.

I have been playing around with the software and I realise it is a alpha, but I cannot figure out how modifers now work. Is it to do with Ticket template's/tags. If the option is not ready, apologies.

I have tried to use ticket tag but have been unsuccessful.

John, Could you create a sticky for V3 feedback/problems please?
