We create and adapt free software

Your success story

Submitted by Albert Cervera ... on Tue, 07/06/2011 - 12:54

At the recent Spanish meeting in Lugo (thanks Pexego!) we realized that several of the modules we did are being used in many cases. That makes us very happy, after all one of the advantages of Free Software is that many people can make use of a development and that helps to reduce costs and avoids reinventing the wheel. The only drawback is when things work well because we do not get feedback of who is using our developments and we like to hear they solved problems to other enterprises.

So we decided to start a new initiative in which anyone using any of the developments we started, be it a small OpenERP module, Koo or NanScan and also anyone that has created his own branch of any of them can tell us their story and we will publish it in our website  (with appropriate links or references). It doesn't matter if you just send us a couple of lines or you prefer to get into gory details. It's up to you! Our blog is yours!

If you're interested, send us your story to stories@nan-tic.com.

From PyQt to Jython+JWt: Setting up the environment

Submitted by Albert Cervera ... on Sun, 24/04/2011 - 12:14

For those who don't know, Wt is an amazing C++ web development framework. There are thousands of frameworks out there but this is one of the very few that does actually take a different approach and makes web development really easy for those with no HTML or JavaScript knowledge while allowing them deliver buzz compatible applications. In fact, one can use Ajax, HTML5 canvas, HTML5 History API, Comet or embedded Google Maps without worrying about Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) or Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) with zero knowledge of the technologies or their security risks because all of them are wrapped around an intuitive API. The API is specially intuitive for those with Qt knowledge because the API is deliverately similar to Qt's.

TuxBrain & NaN·tic at FOSDEM

Submitted by Albert Cervera ... on Fri, 04/02/2011 - 01:05

We're happy to announce the partnership between NaN·tic and TuxBrain. The partnership aims to deliver first class Handheld and POS Linux-based devices with NaN·tic's OpenERP compatible Koo software, and provide professional support at all levels, from software development to deployment, using a well tested and completely open source stack, and targeted to end users as well as other OpenERP partners and integrators.

Work has already started in the port of Koo to the embedded platform and although it's not 100% sure we'll be able to show the first results at FOSDEM (the most important open source meeting in europe) this weekend, if you go to the event, don't hesitate to meet our TuxBrain folks who will be there with other people of the Linux embedded world in the Hackable Devices stand.

Koo for Mac

Submitted by Albert Cervera ... on Thu, 13/01/2011 - 02:00

Just a quick note to announce that a Koo Mac installer is available in our downloads section (launchpad is under maintenance mode right now but we will upload it there too).

Many thanks to Steven Kurylo for providing the package!

By the way, it should be now relatively easy to build your own package because we have commited the necessary changes to setup.py that Steven used to build the package with py2app.

Spell checking in Koo

Submitted by Albert Cervera ... on Mon, 10/01/2011 - 21:23

And yet another feature that will be available in next Koo version (5.0.5): this time we have  integrated spell checking (thanks to enchant) in text boxes (text-type fields in the model):

GTK client has had support for spell checking for quite a long time now, and web browsers support that too, but we also took care of activating spell checking for fields in the translation dialog:

Koo integration with KWallet

Submitted by Albert Cervera ... on Mon, 03/01/2011 - 17:02

Again, a new post about new features in Koo 5.0.5. And again, an addition for those using Koo under the KDE desktop. This time we allowed Koo to take advantage of KDE's wallet manager which allows users storing their passwords and forms in a centralized and secure manner.

KWallet support should be available for you without any configuration provided you have PyKDE installed in your system. If you have it installed and it doesn't work for you, ensure you have the following settings in your ~/.koorc file:

 [kde]
wallet = yes
enabled = True

 optionally you may set wallet = ask, and Koo will ask you each time before saving the password in the wallet:

KooRunner: Koo's full text search with desktop integration

Submitted by Albert Cervera ... on Wed, 29/12/2010 - 03:06

Here's one of our two Christmas presents to all OpenERP users who use the KDE desktop. The video shows how we brought the ERP to user's desktop by taking advantage of full text search capabilities our full_text_search module provides and integrating them into KDE's KRunner, the tool users can use to open applications, search data or do unit conversions.
