This is the discussion between our group members and excerpt of my view, Our development used:

- Java (CLI)

- jRuby (wrapper on java CLI)

- Ruby (API for jRuby wrapper)

-RoR (GUI)

-Jquery (view controls using selectors)

-YUI (Ajax data-manager, DataTables/Grids,  DataPanels, Dialog box )

- Lots of javascripts

- Too complex view which are heavily dependent on other logic models

- Lots of hacks to override different JavaScript frameworks functionality and css

- Single page interaction

- Many developers working and not using common files

- Back-end command line response is slow on top of one page GUI, which is heavy because of lot of javascript

Simpleinvoices is great open source software for managing invoices by Justin, I’ve been using this software for almost 1 and half years now. I needed to have quick solution for having two separate themes using so I can test my changing without disturbing actual source code of smarty based themes, so I done few changing to have multiple themes for simpleinvoices.

Steps involved in this are not database driven, you need to actually modify the config parameter theme each time to change theme.

PS: These changing in code are only hack not best practice so if any one have better code,  idea or code review please post comment.

Download the latest package from  simpleinvoices, It’s been tested on simpleinvoices.2010.2

Step 1:
Open file

source_directory\config\config.ini

and add these lines after database parameters

theme = grid
