Version 4.0.2 - UI updates for Bootstrap v4 Alpha 6

This update contains UI updates to complete the Bootstrap v4 Alpha 6 Upgrade. The UI should now be looking a lot cleaner. If you find errors then you should open an issue.

Version 4.0.1 - Bug Fixes & Bootstrap 6 Starter

This version has updated our templates to use Bootstrap 4 alpha 6 and has brought some important bug fixes.

While the UI is not 100% completed, this version is stable enough to be used in production and should be due to the bug fixes.

The next version will bring the complete Bootstrap 4 alpha 6 UI.

Version 4.0.0 - Laravel 5.4

This version updates UltimateCRM to use Laravel version 5.4

Version 3.2.0 - Recurring Invoices

Recurring Invoices are finally here!

This update adds a checkbox and two optional fields (compulsory if checkbox is checked). You can use them to make the invoice recurring by setting how often it should recur and what the due date should be.

This update also contains a lot of refactoring to make the code cleaner by using Laravel Requests and Laravel Maileable classes.

Upgrade Instructions

Run git pull to update the files and then run php artisan migrate which should run the database upgrades. Once done, everything should be working fine!

Version 3.1.0 - Custom Views

This version allows you to customise the views that are used and only does a lot of refactoring and other small additions.

Custom Views

If you want to edit the display of the "views" then you can do so by adding the files in the resources/customViews/ directory. For example, if you place a file in resources/customViews/emails/invoices/new.blade.php that file will be used when emailing the client about a new invoice instead of the default in resources/views/emails/invoices/new.blade.php. You can therefore edit all the views that come with UltimateCRM by default.

Refactoring

• All the models have been moved into a folder in /app/Models/ instead of just being in the /app/ directory.
• Change the $client->full_name to $client->name
• The public/project_files folder and the resources/customViews folder are not gitignored, now only the files in them are gitignored.

More Configuration

• The currency used by the /app/helpers.php@formatInvoiceTotal method can be customised in the .env file.

Testing

• PHPUnit test now tries to create a user and delete that user. It does this in a "memorised" sqlite database so your main database isn't affected.
