Hide the breadcrumbs: got to assets folder and edit the desk.min.css; set display values for #nav-breadcrumb to none; default is inline-block. This is good for users in pre v7; as the cashier cannot click the breadcrumb to access the list and reprint.
Edit Sales Invoice; the on_submit method uses a single conclude button.
Overall effect; you have a single conclude button that prints and opens a new invoice so the previous invoice is gone, the popup is gone and a new invoice is created. Simple solution and works flawlessly.
Couple this with a fine plugin for firefox and you have a secure pos, ready for retail.
You will find in the image that the tab with the previous invoice is now holding a new invoice, previous invoice is closed up, no print, no breadcrumb.
Please share; this is critical for retail. thank you. For security, please use PM to request for the code fragments to update the POS to become this simple and secure.
Breadcrumbs - This won’t stop a cashier from being able to use the awesome bar to access the list to reprint. I see more users navigate using the awesome bar than the breadcrumbs. It’s also pretty easy to modify display:none attributes.
Conclude - This also won’t stop an enterprising cashier from editing source to remove the overlay and accessing the print button. Yes, that does require a bit more technical know-how, but it is a vector, and it seems like something you’re quite concerned with.
I don’t deny that your previous post has valid concerns. However, I would have to think that there would be more effective solutions.
Thanks @felix; the average cashier; especially in our part of the world; cannot do anything with codes.
For the awesome bar (you mean command right?) I’m also looking at a way of hiding that for the role ‘Accounts User’. That’s how things should work, these are easy solutions for the core team; I believe they could add such features to the role permissions in a blink.
For now; this method will secure clients upto 90% if we need to; we’ll take of the command bar altogether. I’ll do some digging into the framework; maybe you can even guide.
