oh, you mean that for your system to work you must have had a programmer setting it up, since you couldn't do it yourself? that's exactly what I mean that is the problem, thanks for agreeing with me. I think it's great that you found a sollution. In my case (and many other ones) where I don't know any programmer who has the time / will to come here and spend some hours/days working on it, so I'll have to keep doing it slowly if I want to set up that system.
I agree with you. You need money or knowledge. If you have money, you buy a system which you can use. If you have knowledge, you build this system by yourself. In your case, you want to use a cheap software (open source) and pay somebody to fix it. This may be more expensive than byuing a closed software, to which you are familiar.
It's great that people leave code and programs (some very good) for others to use/adapt - but if they want it to be a real alternative they must adapt themselves as well, and not consider the package finished when the code works, but also devote some time to the documentation.
This happens because people with knowledge (programmer) forget what they don't know anymore :-( Some guys even forget that they were user once...
br, Piotr, still a user...
