Grand Total Plugin
Last edited: December 15, 2003 08:08 AM
The Grand Total Plugin was designed by MegaSoft Software. It provides some simple cash register type reporting capabilities such as a “non-resettable reading”.
It accomplishes the “non-resettable reading” by including ALL known journal files into the report. In order to compensate for Manager’s limit of sales journals that can be in the Reports directory, GTPlug allows for defining an alternate reports directory. It can support sales dates from 01/01/1985 through 12/31/2025.
Installation
Create a directory called Plugins on the same drive as Manager was found. If Manager was found on C: then the directory should becreated on the C: drive.
Place the program files in this directory. The necessary files are:
* GTPlug.EXE – the program executable
* GTPlug.RES – the resource file
* GTPlug.PID – the program definition fileTechnical notes
Below is an excerpt from Plugins.DOC describing the program definition file. For more detailed information about the workings of a plugin, please refer to the Plugins.DOC.
.PID File FormatThe .PID file is a text file that may be created with DOS Edit or any other text editor. It contains settings that Manager will use. Below are a list of possible settings and their meanings.
The file may also contain remarks. A REM indicates that the line is a remark, and will be ignored. Blank lines will also be ignored. A remark may be placed after a setting, on the same line if it is preceeded by a ; symbol.
The following are sample settings, with remarks about each:
Version=5 ;This required line informs manager what version of TouchNet/TouchPRO the report is compatable with.
Name=A Plugin Report ;This is the name that the user will see
Wide=136 ;This is the report width (80 and 136 are common)
UseJournal=yes ;This report will not be launched without the user selecting dates first. Without this line, the /Date=YYMMDD-YYMMDD command line will not be passed.
