Hi Alex,
I have generated a TiddlyWiki5 that has:
- a form with drop-down lists of activities that are generated from the
titles of properly tagged tiddlers
- put in your date, start time, end time, duration and target invoice
identifier
- it adds the entry to the invoice tiddler containing the field target
invoice identifier
- it has a custom print stylesheet to format the invoice a little bit
better for printing out
- I just print to PDF and email the resulting file manually
- it has a logo incorporated into the invoice that is an embedded svg
tiddler
What it doesn't have is:
- fully automated new invoice creation
- I still have to clone the old invoice Tiddler, change the invoice
number field, then add entries with that invoice number (although existing
entries should be picked up automagically)
- probably not a big deal to add ... I have just found making an new
invoice once a month a process easy enough to not surmount my laziness
keeping me from automating it
- the ability to add up all your hours and do math to give you a billable
amount
- TiddlyWiki does not have the ability to do summation of fields
without some js hacking ... an ability that I do not possess
- I would *love* for someone to add the ability to do simple summation
and date math on fields ( I will defintely look into Tobias' "let" plugin
... hadn't noticed that before)
- no report generation other than using filters with built-in TiddlyWiki
functionality
I will happily share it here once I clean out my personal details (it is a
good historical record of your entire employment history :] ) and make it
generic. I would love to have someone else hacking on it to make it more
functional.
Expect some sort of GoogleDrive/TiddleSpace/TiddlySpot link here in the
next day or so. I have been meaning to do so for a long time now as I've
found it quite useful and figured others would benefit from it.
Cheers,
/Mike
