Sorry Hei Ku I didnt see your last post before I sent my last one. OK so just to understand i need to
1. Back up my kmymoney (is there a way to back up on my computer I dont have my flash drive) 2. Uninstall kmymoney (I already added the PPA) 3. Reinstall Kmymoney If that is correct, how do I apply the plugins when I reinstall? |

Uninstalling KMyMoney won't do anything to your files.
Uninstall your current KMyMoney, then install KMyMoney AND the plugins from the PPA. The names of the packages are kmymoney2 and kmymoney-plugins

YAAAAAAAA I got it running
 I want to thank everyone that helped.One more question, does anyone know how I configure the layout of the check? I have check stock and the layout is different. |

Well, now you need to install the C++ compiler package and the X11-devel package. Once you have those, re-run cmake. You might run into this problem a few more times. Usually, some -dev or -devel package is missing.

In the settings dialog on the plugins page when you click on the print check plugin you should see a html file path.
That is the so called 'check template' it has some keywords in it like $PAYEE_NAME which are going to be replaced with the actual name of the payee. You can change this html to fit your needs (the default one is just a demo since nobody used this feature yet).

I think that's configured using HTML. Cristian is the developer and he will be very happy to help with a real world-case.

Thanks for all your help Hei Ku
cristian, I opened that up and it opened in my web browser. I cant change anything. Even if I could, will changing that automatically change on kmymoney? If not what other steps do I need to take? Below is what I see on my browser. $OWNER_NAME $INSTITUTION_NAME $DATE $OWNER_ADDRESS $INSTITUTION_STREET $OWNER_CITY $OWNER_STATE $INSTITUTION_CITY Pay $AMMOUNT_STRING $AMMOUNT_DECIMAL To the order of $PAYEE_NAME Per $MEMO $PAYEE_ADDRESS $PAYEE_CITY $PAYEE_STATE |

The problem is that you have to edit the HTML file to change it's layout (if you save your file KMyMoney will consider your changes). A browser usually only lets you view a HTML file and not edit it. You need to have HTML knowledge to be able to customize the template according to your needs. Sorry but I also lack the knowledge to make a proper check template.

You can open it with Kate or Gedit, and you will see the actual HTML, to make the changes.
Not exactly WYSIWYG, we know.

If you don't know HTML that you have two choices: 1. convince someone who does to create the proper check template you need 2. learn HTML you can start that at http://www.w3schools.com/html/default.asp
