ClassicPress Development with GitHub: Series Index

Ian Grieve3 minute read0 comment

GitHubI have been using ClassicPress to run this blog, and several other sites, since early last year. I have also created new versions of all of my plugins for ClassicPress.

When I was working with plugins for WordPress, I used their Plugin Repository for source control which was based off SVN. This wasn’t really the ideal way of doing things, as I should have had my own source control for development purposes.

At the start of 2019, GitHub announced new unlimited repositories (amongst some other changes) which made GitHub a viable source control tool for me.

The added bonus of using GitHub is that ClassicPress mean to use it for their Plugin Directory which is scheduled for inclusion in version 2. Development of this is in the early stages now, but using GitHub for my own development means I am at least part way to being compatible with the directory when it is launched.

I have over a hundred repositories now on GitHub (although you’ll see a much smaller number as quite a few are private). I took some screenshots when I started and meant to blog about it and then got sidetracked. In this series of posts I am going back to my intended posts, in which I am going to cover the basics of using GitHub for development of ClassicPress plugins.

This is a weekend series of posts with new posts going live over the next few weeks. If you’re reading this on azurecurve|Ramblings of a Dynamics GP Consultant the index will update automatically.

TLS causing a Microsoft Dynamics GP Workflow approval error

Ian Grieve2 minute read2 Comments

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business CentralI have recently been doing some work with a client to enable the Web Services for Microsoft Dynamics GP for external approval. This requires a steps to configure them for secure external access; when it was configured we tested on afew devices including Android smart phones and iPhones.

We found that everything worked fine, except for the Android devices which returned the following error:

Approval error on Android

ERR_HTTP2_INADEQUATE_TRANSPORT_SECURITY

When I investigated the issue I recalled that I had seen references to this issue previously, but hadn’t realised the meaning. The problem is that the web services use an older version of TLS which has started to be deprecated and actually retired; this looks like it will be a much bigger problem starting very soon as the major browsers also remove support.

Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests: Paste from Excel in Web Client

Ian Grieve3 minute read0 comment

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests series where I am going hands on with the top feature requests of the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP; it is part of the larger Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features series.

The eighth, and final, new feature from the top user requests, is copy and paste from Excel in the web client. This has not worked since 2015 R2 with fixes promised always in the next version.

Again it has been included as a feature in the October 2019 release, but while it allows you to get the data from Ececl into the GL Transaction Entry window, but is instead an import. To import the journal lines in the web client, click the Paste button and then click Choose file:

Import from Excel

You can browse to select a file to import as journal lines. The format is the same as when pasting in the desktop client.

It works, but it is not as nice and easy as the copy and paste possible in the desktop client and is not a copy and paste despite the announcement.

The seventh new feature from the top user requests, is the storage of the user ID who last modified an item record; this field has also been made available to SmartList:

Items SmartList object showing new User ID column

Being able to see the last user to amend an item is a good addition and it is nice to see it made available within SmartList.

Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests: Inactive field added to Item SmartList

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests series where I am going hands on with the top feature requests of the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP; it is part of the larger Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features series.

The sixth top requested enhancement is the availability of a column in the Items SmartList showing if an item is active or inactive:

Items SmartList with Inactive column

I was a little surprised to see this announced as a feature as I had assume this field was already available, but it seems that when an Inactive flag was added in Dynamics GP 2013 RTM, that was as far as the change went. Extra visibility is always a good thing, so nice to see this added.

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests series where I am going hands on with the top feature requests of the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP; it is part of the larger Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features series.

The fifth new feature based on the top requested features, is a new setting to control whether the displaying of the PO is skipped when a purchase requisition is purchased. Microsoft Dynamics GP 2018 RTM saw a new feature introduced whereby, when a PR was purchased, the purchase order transactions navigation list was automatically displayed. This turned out to be very disruptive for some clients due to the time it took to load the navigation list (especially when the Reporting Services Reports were deployed and the fact pane visible) that it was amended in Dynamics GP 2018 R2 to ask the user if they wanted to skip showing the navigation list.

The enhancement now is the addition of a drop down list in Purchase Order Setup (Purchasing » Setup » Purchase Order Processing) where the administrator can choose what happens:

Purchase Order Processing Setup

The default option remains Show the message which is the 2018 R2 behaviour.

I like being able to set the option to not show the question let alone the navigation list. Most of the clients I work with always click the option to skip displaying the navigation list, so this option to allow them to set it to ,em>Don’t show the message and don’t open the new PO is going to be very welcome.

Unlock BitLocker protected drive with PowerShell

Ian Grieve2 minute read2 Comments

PowerShellI recently needed to unlock a HDD encrypted with BitLocker a number of times. I rapidly decided that entering the password manually every time was not something I wanted to do, so for that day, I needed a command line method of doing it. Fortunately, PowerShell has a commandlet available to do this:

$SecureString = ConvertTo-SecureString "{password}" -AsPlainText -Force
Unlock-BitLocker -MountPoint "X:" -Password $SecureString

The above came from the PowerShell section of the Microsoft Docs site.

The highlighted section, including braces, should be replaced with the password for the drive.

As the PowerShell script has to have the password embedded within it, this is not something I would recommend for every day use.

Microsoft Dynamics GPThis post is part of the Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features – Top Feature Requests series where I am going hands on with the top feature requests of the new version of Microsoft Dynamics GP; it is part of the larger Hands On with Microsoft Dynamics GP October 2019 Release New Features series.

The fourth enhancement based on top requested features is the minimisation of the Payables Transaction Entry window when you choose Go To when you receive a warning that a PO exists for that vendor:

Go To message

The purchasing transactions navigation list displays with the Payables Transaction Entry open with the transaction entered, but minimised so it can’t be seen. Once you’re done with the navigation list, you can restore the Payables Transaction Entry window to post or delete the transaction.

this is apparently one of the top requested features, but I don’t really see the point. A lot of the clients I work with have dual monitors so are more likely to want to move the window to a secondary monitor rather than have it minimised. Unfortunately, this new feature doesn’t have any options to control the behaviour so the transaction entry window is minimised if you opt to go to the navigation list.

I’ve compared the window above to the one in Dynamics GP 2018 R2 and cannot see a difference, so either I am missing something or this “new” feature has been present for a while and just announced.

Being able to filter the returned data by date will make it easier to review the stock movement by date.
