No guilty of no idea about modifiers. Yes the HH & VIP tags was one of the first attempts at digging into automation. I have retained the Tags because my implementation allows for a % to be used for a Product Group - just for those venues that do not wish to type in every price/portion for discounts.
Order tags are the modifiers. Try it.they can be mapped in recipes even.
This might be a good starting point.

@pauln, you are setting it up properly.
I call it the “Modifier Screen” because the screen that appears contains both Portions and Order Tags.
Again, for FAST MENU, I do not want to see the Modifier Screen. I want the Menu Button to choose the Portion automatically. It is much faster when taking orders for “simple” items.
I touch Americano Double Menu Button and it automatically puts Americano.Double Portion on the Ticket. No need to choose the Portion from the Modifier Screen. So then I click Cappuccino Triple and boom - Cappuccino.Triple appears. No Modifier Screen. FAST.
I can still change the Order in case of operator or customer error. Select the Order and the Modifier Screen appears, then I change the Portion for that item and close the Modifier Screen.
I have no idea if these Costs are correct. But this is the “jist” of using Portions, Recipes, and Price Defs …

Thank you guys - have the 3 superheros by my side, its a great feeling! Great Q, good to know I am on the right track as deadline is looming in 4 weeks.
We also have a back log of orders from other venues as they have found out what we are up to and the features we will provide.

Good on ya! I have recently been approached to possibly become the Tech for a new POS “company” here. Not sure I want to have the extra work though, lol. Between my 2 Venues, Beta Testing, Forum support, etc, it really cuts down on my “social” time

Hello,
I am using samba version 5.1.58 [DB 124]. I have downloaded and Install wampsever 2.5. I extracted the zipped files above into the “www” folder of the wampsever and edited the connection string as follows;
I selected Opera as my browser during wampsever installation, then i tried lunching the interface through Opera with “http://localhost/dbops.php”
This is my result obtained;
Other Information;
- I am using windows 10
- Although wampserver is online, the service is not running and i cant start it
I would appreciate help from the forum. Thank You
I have never used wamp but it sounds like you might want to ask wamp forum if you don’t get a response here.
Edit: it looks like your running IIS and it’s probably attached to your port already.
Thanks Ken,
Can you suggest what you use with this import tool so i can try?
If you can help me with any of your links on this forum on this subject i would appreciate a lot
Thank You
I don’t use this tool but I would probably use IIS myself just so I could serve all my various websites projects with one service.
This forum probably won’t help you much with Web server and PHP setup and install because it’s a Samba POS forum so I can’t provide forum links simply because there aren’t any that I know of.
There are some members with more experience with WAMP that might find interest in your question but I wouldn’t wait around. Google wamp server setup see what you can find.
PS read what I said about IIS and your port likely that’s your issue it can’t start because IIS is already using that port.

Kendash is correct. That is an error coming from IIS. I don’t use WAMP myself. I use IIS.
WAMP is “supposed to be” an easy, simple way to get Web Services with PHP up and running on Windows, which is why it is suggested. I tried WAMP a couple times throughout the years, but since IIS is built into Windows, I see no need to install WAMP, which uses Apache as it’s Web Server.
If you really want to use WAMP, you should disable/uninstall IIS. This is done via Add/Remove Programs > Windows Programs.
Here is a link to setting up IIS/PHP that I put together if you want to give that a go instead, since you already have IIS activated …

I keep getting the following error when trying to import my csv file
PHP Warning: odbc_execute(): SQL error: [Microsoft][SQL Server Native Client 11.0]Invalid character value for cast specification, SQL state 22005 in SQLExecute in C:\inetpub\wwwroot\dbops_functions.php on line 69
Any ideas what could be causing this
Looks like an invalid character for cast 
Well that part was obvious 
What characters would be classed as invalid?
I dont know you have not showed us it yet.
Edit: what version of SQL are you using?
the excel file contains over 1700 products so I don’t think anyone is going to check through that.
If i knew what characters are classed as invalid maybe I could search for them.
Is it not showing the line number where it fails?
No unfortunately that would make it a lot easier
So, no lines are being imported?
What about the query that is being executed at the time? Does it show that?
