| We have been Brickstock users since Patrick took it on and in many cases worked
closely with him to iron out issues etc, however his main job really does prevent
him from carrying on with developments so the product is slowly but surely heading
for the archives. Current issues include not getting any images of minwfigures
(everything else is okay), and price guide guidelines are also not updating properly.
So we downloaded Brickstore and it 'cures/fixes' the current Brickstock
issues and adds some nice touches but and it is a big but. We cannot use our
print templates. Yes we know about modifying viewws etc but that doesnt work
when we need to print labels for our products - and it works very well in Brickstock.
. We worked with tsrateplayer (Alan) a long time ago to get these templates done
and have shared them with many Brickstock users. We have good documentation on
theme and a how to guide to create or modify them but have not got a clue how
to incorporate them into Brickstore.
Maybe we can actually reach out to Robert via this forum message and ask if he
is willing to incorporate these into Brickstore. (We print delivery notes as
well as product labels via the templates.

Forgot to add the minifigure issue started immediately after Bricklink changed
the id from minifig to minifigure - we are sure that has something to do with
the issue.

The print templates in BrickStore are JavaScript.
I never used BrickStock so I don't know what format they're in.
Take a look at this page...
https://github.com/rgriebl/brickstore/tree/master/extensions
Scroll down to the README.md section and it gives you info on how to get a print
template into BrickStore (basically, copying the print template file into the
right directory/folder and giving it the right file extension).
I have modified existing templates for my own use, so I'd be happy to take
a look if you're not having much joy... although I'm not a pro programmer

OK - the Brickstock files are .qs files and it says only qm are allowed. Not
being a programmer doesn't help me cause I dont know if I can convert the
qs to qm or I have to develop a qm file and add it to the directory. Grrr.

Yes, it is the only reason I still need brickstock, to print my picking list
to include in each order.
I attempted this conversion a while back but failed miserably. A step by step
guide to converting a template would be amazing. I assume each one actually
has to be re-written though by modifying existing templates, I don't think
there is a true conversion process.

Unfortunately, a guide to converting them is probably not possible.
All depends on what structures, fields, functions etc. are used in the template.
I'd be happy to take a look at it for you... after I've sorted Cals

I don't read the BL forums too often, but I just stumbled over your message
after I committed a rough porting guide to the BrickStore repo today:
https://github.com/rgriebl/brickstore/blob/master/extensions/README.md
so ... there IS a guide now, but converting is still manual labor

Thanks Robert.
While you're here... do you have a list of the field names available within
the print template? i,e within the job, doc, lots structures?
Thank you.

There are 5 different label layouts, some of which have identical names in BrickStock!!...
