I'm getting the hint from lots of posts on the web that WebKit is the future of OpenERP reporting. Perhaps I've misunderstood that and I would appreciate any informed guidance you can provide.
I've struggled in a OpenERP 6.1.2 and Ubuntu 12.10 environment to get WebKit running with http://www.camptocamp.com/'s report_webkit and report_webkit_sample modules but am less than successful.
Running Accounting, Customer WebKit invoice seems a good place to start after installing c2c's modules, but; I get:
OpenERP Warning
Wkhtmltopdf library path is not set
Please install executable on your system (sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf) or download it from here: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/list and set the path in the ir.config_parameter with the webkit_path key.Minimal version is 0.9.9
Some research and "apt-get install wkhtmltopdf" seems to be the thing to do, but; I encounter a different issue:
OpenERP Warning
2
No such file or directory
(<type 'exceptions.IOError'>, IOError(2, 'No such file or directory'), <traceback object at 0xb57b216c>)
Google implies "apt-get remove wkhtmltopdf" then installing a more current wkhtmltopdf will fix that issue (https://bugs.launchpad.net/openobject-addons/+bug/942679/comments/16.)
tar xvjf wkhtmltopdf-0.11.0_rc1-static-i386.tar.bz2
mv wkhtmltopdf-i386 /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/wkhtmltopdf
But I seem to be going around in circles:
OpenERP Warning
Wkhtmltopdf library path is not set
Please install executable on your system (sudo apt-get install wkhtmltopdf) or download it from here: http://code.google.com/p/wkhtmltopdf/downloads/list and set the path in the ir.config_parameter with the webkit_path key.Minimal version is 0.9.9
I'm even having problems accessing c2c's training movie http://files.me.com/nbessi/06n92k.mov. Their domain files.me.com resolves to https://www.icloud.com/ where I struggle with Apple to get access in my Linux environment because iCloud needs to be installed and functional for access. I give up and move down to Windows to find, I think, that Apple refuses access to gMail accounts; so, I move over to my Yahoo mail account, get a little further until iCloud reports I must have it enabled on an iPhone or OS X device before allowed in...
I'm thinking reporting might not be the thing for me, but; I'm hoping you set me straight, Dale
