azurecurve ClassicPress Plugins: Code

ClassicPress PluginsThis is part of the azurecurve ClassicPress Plugins which introduces the plugins I have available for ClassicPress.

The plugin I am going to cover in this post, is a brand new plugin; Code.

Functionality

I’ve never found a code formatting plugin which I liked so I’ve been manually formatting code to post for a while; this plugin is still manually formatting, but provides a set of shortcodes which can be sued to colour text for SQL and PHP.

A copyright message can be set via the plugins settings page and output using a shortcode.

Download

The plugin can be downloaded via my Development site.

Implementing Enhanced Notes: Using Enhanced Notes

GP Elementz Enhanced NotesThis post is part of a series on Implementing Enhanced Notes from ISC Software Solutions.

Once Enhanced Notes has been installed and configured, it replaces the Dynamics GP Notes window everywhere it appears on both records and windows. The notes icon will still appear as white when there is no note, or yellow when there is.

If, for example, you open the Notes window for a customer, you’ll see the Enhanced Notes window:

Enhanced Notes window

In this window, I have entered a note as well as selecting a category and subcategory; I am not emailing this or creating a task; I could use the paperclip icon to attach a PDF of the email if required.

Implementing Enhanced Notes: Configure Security

GP Elementz Enhanced NotesThis post is part of a series on Implementing Enhanced Notes from ISC Software Solutions.

When Enhanced Notes is deployed to a company, there are two security roles created:

  1. ENHANCED NOTES – which gives users access ton the Enhanced Notes instead of the standard Dynamics GP Notes window.
  2. ENHANCED NOTES SETUP – which allows users to change the configuration of the Enhanced Notes module.

All non-POWERUSER* users are automatically assigned the Enhanced Notes security role when it is installed, but future users will need to be assigned it via User Security Setup (Adminstration » Setup » System » User Security):

User Security Setup

Any user other than a POWERUSER* will need to be assigned the Enhanced Notes Setup role.
