ochProjects (package)

Requirements

Joomla! 6 Joomla! 5 Joomla! 4 (EOL - Not supported) Joomla! 3 (EOL - Not supported) PHP 8.1+

Basic Joomla! knowledge available between the chair and the keyboard :)

Installation is easy!

Download the package
in the Back-end go to menu Extensions > Manage
in the tab [Upload file package] click [browse] and select your downloaded package
click [Upload & Install], wait for the installation to finish

Component Configuration

Note:

All forms and fields come with extended instructions / descriptions. Use 'Toggle Inline Help' to show them.

In the back-end go to menu Components > ochProjects.
In the component click on the [Options] button and configure:
1. [Company Profile] This is your information that willbe used on the invoices. Important: Your country is requiredd as it is used to determine EU VAT excemptions!
2. [Email Sending] Configure the Email settings
3. [Billing] Here you can configure the way your timelogs will be 'rounded up': no rounding = 1 minute , 5 / 6 / 10 / 15 / 30 / 60 minutes
4. [Invoicing] Configure the Invoicing settings
5. [Front-end] Configure to load the style sheet or not
6. [Permissions], permissions are used for the administrator, but here you can also give front-end users rights via membership of Joomla User Groups (you need to create these):
  - Front End: View Own Logs/Invoices > this gives the user access to the front-end view
  - Front End: Approve Own Timelogs/Materials > this gives the user view + approve rights for his own timelogs
  - Front End: Create/Finalize Own Invoices > this gives the user view, approve and the right to initiate invoices for time and material logs
[Optional] Install and publish a ochprojectspayment plugin: when none installed, invoiced need to be paid manually as well as the processing of the payments.
Create SEF url menu items:
1. ochProject » Dashboard > The front end's entry point - a logged-in Customer's own linked Customer(s), a Project-by-Project time/materials/invoicing summary, and what's new since their last visit.
2. ochProject » Invoices > A logged-in Customer's own Invoices - view status and download the PDF, with Finalize for Customers granted that front-end permission.
3. ochProjects » My Details > A self-service page where a logged-in Customer can view and edit their own contact/billing details.
4. ochProjects » Payment Link > Never opened directly - creating this menu item just gives an Invoice's own online payment link a clean, memorable URL (named/aliased however you like) instead of the generic default. Visiting it always redirects straight to the Customer's configured payment gateway.
5. ochProjects » Time Logs & Materials > A logged-in Customer's own Timelogs/Materials - search/filter/sort/paginate, with an Approve action for Customers granted that front-end permission.

Activate Joomla! One Click update and change-log integration

When you install the extension, it will automatically integrate with the Joomla Updater for both updates and change-logs.

On first use, the Joomla updater will prompt you with a 'Download Key is missing!' message.

On this site: Go to [Tools > My Account > My Download Keys], and copy your Download ID#.
On your site: Go to System > Update Sites, locate the extension, and paste the Download ID into the 'Download Key' field. Click [Save and Close].

Important:
If you're using this Download ID on a new server, you’ll receive an email to approve the device. Click the link in the email to enable downloads from this server.
Without approval, updates won’t be authorized, and the Joomla updater will display a 401 Unauthorized error when trying to fetch updates.

That’s it! You're all set.

ochProjects is equipped with a simple yet powerful system that enables you to place variables inserted into your templates into text fields. These variables are replaced by values and enable you to customize and personalize messages and text.

A variable consists of two parts: {object:field}

The object is the actual ochProjects object, so all fields in these objects are available.

If an object or field is not available, the variable will not be replaced and displayed as is.
If a field is empty (not filled in), the variable will be replaced with the value of the field (empty).

There is one more object, {subtemplate:alias}, which is not a field lookup but inlines another Template row's own rendered output - used to share the header/footer between the Invoice and Specification, and to build the Invoice's items table and payment information from their own separately editable Templates.

The two invoice emails ("Invoice Sent", "Payment Received") are not built with this system - they are Joomla's own core Mail Templates (System > Mail Templates), using plain {TAG} syntax. Available tags: {CUSTOMERNAME}, {INVOICENO}, {TOTAL}, {CURRENCY}, {COMPANYNAME}, plus {DUEDATE} on the invoice email only.
