One of my clients had me setup SugarCRM Community Edition for him. SugarCRM Community Edition is quite nice, it’s open source and free it helps my client to save quite some moeny. However it lacks some advance features such as generating reports. ZuckerReports fills that hole by providing user a way to create multiple types of reports, kudos to the developers behind it.

But after installing it, I noticed there is a bug while creating a Listing Template, whenever there is a custom field (user-defined field) involved in filtering, the returning result is empty. So I dug into the code and found out that the bugs were simple to fix. Just modify one function in each of these two files:

My dad gave me his old Sony DSC-R1 and I we got a Minolta Maxxum 7000. Very nice upgrade from my Point-And-Shoot. We spent half of July traveling around and took tons of pictures. Check out my Flickr stream for more pictures.

A project I’ve been working on requires the ability to visit SSL sites (sites with https in the URL). So I had to rebuild Qt with OpenSSL support since by default Qt does not have SSL.

After a few failure, here are the steps. Please not this is for Qt 4.5 only:

1. If you don’t have Qt already, go download it at http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads

2. Download OpenSSL here http://www.openssl.org/source/You can build it by following the instructions or get the binaries.

3. In command line, go to your Qt folder, configure the build with

configure -openssl -I:path_to_openssl_include_folder -L:path_to_openssl_library_folder

If you want the OpelSSL libraries linked, use “-openssl-link” instead.

4. Then you can start compiling with “make” or “nmake” depending on your OS.
