Re: Shiny brand new webkit financial reports

 

Manay many thanks for those who already try to test the module and face
problems:

Please consider 2 things :
1st - OpenERP apps takes time to get updated with recent fixes so rather use
the branch : lp:c2c-financial-addons/6.0
2nd : Demo data are unfortunately creating only opening/closing period
('special') so untick the checkbox in all periods (except the opening one)
... ;)

Do not give up !
