*****My Gift To All Nexus Members*****

[AlkaMyst]

:wave: Hello Everyone,

My dear fellow NEXIANS, I have taken the liberty (If that's OK with Admins and Mods) to create an FTP account on my server for "Nexus Members Only".....which will allow us all to upload anything we want to it, I have done this to facilitate another way in which can all share information with one another and the world......let me explain!!!

ONLY Nexus Members will have access to the FTP password for upload and download purposes, but everyone else in the public will also be able to access it and download anything we upload via web.

This is how it will look from the web, go here..........http://nexusftp.theavalonfiles.com/ (http://nexusftp.theavalonfiles.com/)

Everyone is free to create new folders and upload anything, I just ask for something real simple in return.........


Please, do not delete any files that were uploaded by other members!!!

No pornography!!!

DO NOT share the FTP password with anyone besides fellow Nexus Members!!!

Do not use for personal data storage!!!

Besides those, please have fun and enjoy......I am doing this because I trust the members of this community and I know you guys are all responsible adults.

NOW, for the somewhat technical geeky part:

To access the FTP you must have a program that will allow you to do so, I have provide you guys with a link to a free and very reliable FTP app called "Filezilla"....very simple to install and configure (if anyone needs help with that then please PM me and I will be more than glad to assist you :))

Download here...........http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client (http://filezilla-project.org/download.php?type=client)

The login info I will provide to you guys via PM.....so feel free to PM me to get the information as I don't want to post it here for the whole world to see!!!

PS
I was also wondering if anyone here has any experience in blogging using wordpress and would like to create a wordpress blog for Nexus members.....I will create a subdomain on my server and install wordpress on it, the person or persons in charge will receive the FTP info for that domain as well as the info to login to the WP admin panel. This person or group of people will be in total control of the blog, I will not interfere with whatever is posted there!!!

So how about it, anyone interested???

Blessings to All,
AlkaMyst

Thank you for this Alkamyst, I have written a order tracking software program which is being used by a couple of firms, using php and mysql.
Is it possible to upload this for our members to use if they wish?
Its totally functional, but is still a work in progress.

I get this when I go to your folder......


Warning: mysql_connect() [function.mysql-connect]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/No-MySQL-hostname-was-specified' (2) in /home/nexusftpuser/nexusftp.theavalonfiles.com/simgaz/dbconnect.php on line 7
Could not connect to database server

go here and click on your name to see..........

[simgaz]

Yes this will happen as the Mysql database has not been created, I have only put all the necessary files up.

This requires a database to function the same as this forum runs on php and mysql.

Love and respect

[AlkaMyst]

http://nexusftp.theavalonfiles.com/simgaz/ (http://nexusftp.theavalonfiles.com/simgaz/)

Right Alkamyst, help file uploaded in 3 different formats. They are in a folder called help_files.
All so am going to copy to here.

Help File For Serverxs Work Flow

Ok, what this does is track work or orders etc. I'm not a programmer but I was asked one day if I could make something which would track a factory's orders in an easy to use, just click on, way!
So I made this.
If you run this on your own computer, you will need php and a mysql database and a server installed on your hard drive. The best way to do this is download and install xampp, which includes the above. You will also need to upload the files to this 'localhost' server and run a sql query to create the database with the included database file. You will also need to change the dbconnect.php file with your new information.
Such as:
$host = "localhost";
$user = "your_user_name";
$pass = "your_password_for_the_database";
$dbname = "the_database_name";

and then save this file and upload. (just because its on your computer doesn't mean that it doesn't need to be uploaded to the 'localhost'.)

You input a job, click on Add Job, it will ask you to select small, medium or large job. Select one.
By default a small job is less than ?200.
The add job details screen opens. Fill in as you wish, no items are mandatory. But I would put in a job reference.
You have 11 'worktypes', 1-11, also a 'other process' which if checked, fill in what the process or job is.
NOTE- all the variable names can be changed by opening 'flow_d.php' and adapting as you wish as in: $worktype1 = "worktype1"; change to $worktype1 = "bathroom";

then where worktype1 was, will now read bathroom.

When you change these, dont forget to save and upload. Also be of care as if you say remove even 1 semi colon, things will not work!

Note- I wouldn't change any other files unless you work in php and know what its doing!

At the bottom of the Add job details page you can add up to 4 images per job. If you are running this on your home or office computer, then you can put as large files as you wish. It will resize to thumbnails, while keeping the large file to view if required on click. If you run this online, then I would only upload small files.
Now you can click Add job Info and this job will be added to the main database. You can now add another job or select from the top menu.

Select 'Screen 1'.
Your just added job will show up in the small jobs list, with a number of boxes, all just yellow, and information.
Now the way it works depends on how many work types you checked when adding the job.
All worktypes must be totally competed for the job to finish.
Dependant on which worktype, there are 6 main processes and each process has 5 states of being. As each process stage and state of being are independent, but also linked, the combinations for the progress of a job are rather great!
So each process can be:
Empty yellow square.
Yellow square, white circle.
Yellow square, black circle.
Yellow square, black circle with single line through.
Yellow square, black circle with cross through. At this point this process is complete and a white circle will appear in the next yellow box to indicate that it is available for the next process to begin.

A job cannot complete unless all the yellow boxes are with black circle with cross through.

At the end of the 6 process boxes, there is a white box. If you click on this then a red flag appears, which means that this part of this job is now 'Flagged' because it is important for some reason. This then appears in the Flagged list, until either complete or unchecked.

The next box along is meant to look like a note pad, which if clicked will allow you to enter a 'note' regarding that part of that job. This can be removed by clicking the note pad box again.

Dependant on which 'worktype' you may also have a Yellow Triangle next along. This will, by clicking it, allow you to split this part of this job in 2. Which then these will act independently, until completed or you click the Yellow Triangle again, at which point the 2 parts are joined again.

Some 'worktype' have less processes, but you can work this out!

If you click on a jobs 'name' then this will take you to that jobs page including all details and thumb nails of the images. If you click on the images then a full size version will appear. You can also move the job along here.

As the jobs move through the different processes, you can see where they are by clicking on the individual process name in the top menu.

Each job can have a possible 15 lines of boxes, 77 boxes, 340 states of being, multiplied by each other, all working independently, but all linked. A job cannot complete until all parts are finished.

Screen 1 puts jobs in date order.
Job info ABC puts jobs in alphabetically order.
Small not started lists jobs where process1 box is still yellow and under ?200.
All not started lists jobs where process1 box is still yellow.

To start a job, just click the first box so that it is now yellow with a white circle.

To update the details of a job, either click 'update job' in the top menu and select which job or if you have clicked on the jobs name and have all their details you can click on the green triangle, which will take you to the update screen.

Right, 'assign contracts' relates to process 2.
You can assign different parts of jobs to different people or all of the first 4 contracts, but only for process 2.
Once assigned, that part of that job appears on the page which it is assigned to until process 2 is complete. Then it moves on.
To assign to contract 5, in the first 3 contract states, there is a 'workman' triangle at the end of the process boxes. This has 3 states of being. If it has a green cross on, then it is assigned to contract 5 as well as which ever first contract it was assigned to. To remove from contract 5, click the green cross or complete process 3 through to a yellow square with a black circle with a black cross through.

For the second, forget about the second set of assign contract, as this is to be a different way to view and interact with a job, as you can see if you click on the 'Print' link.

So you can see that you can have a job or order with multiple parts all running at different stages and follow each part, while all parts are still linked.

Now click on 'Screen 2'.

Screen 2 follows the money and shows the job or order as a percentage of completion.

If you click on the jobs money value, this has 3 states of being:
Red is included in the totals as it is unpaid.
Black is not included in the totals as it is paid.
Light blue is not included in the totals as it is a problem.

You can click through these as you wish. The totals are shown at the top of each job type.(small, medium, large.)

The rest here on screen 2 works the same, but always showing the money where as screen 1 does not.

If you click on 'Old Work' then all completed and paid for work since day one will be shown.

If you click on 'Payment', this shows jobs which need the money collecting and/or the orders sending. Under the Paid heading you can click on the red x box and it turns green. This means paid.

To remove a job from here, click the remove x, which then sends the job to the 'Old Work' database.


Part of the files include for interaction through mobile phones or ipad type devices, but I have not completed these yet as I get bored of it. Smilly.

Use the one on Alkamyst's site, play with it, you cant break it and if you can, well I can put it back together!

If this helps you, it makes me happy.

Love and respect
