Do any Drupal veterans remember a D6 module called CCK Line Product?

Events happening in the community are now at Drupal community events on www.drupal.org.

I'm trying to resurrect an old D6 sandbox project, Node Xero Invoices, https://www.drupal.org/sandbox/webindustries/1894428 - but it has a dependency on CCK Line Product, and I can find no trace of it anywhere.

Would anyone have a copy of this or know where I might locate it?

Thanks, Conor.

Hmmm

I don't suppose you know what the module does? Looks to provide some sort of cck product reference field from an initial glance at the code.

I see you've opened an issue against the module, but have you tried contacting the maintainer of this sandbox project via their contact form?

I don't think it's possible to delete a project from drupal.org, at least for normal user accounts... unless you can with sandbox projects? Not sure about that.

It could also be a submodule of another project perhaps, or something downloaded from another site, or even custom?

Have you looked at https://www.drupal.org/project/commerce_xero?

Something like Commerce Line Item, I guess

I contacted Web Industries via the contact form on their website a couple of days ago, but no-one's responded so far. Maybe I can get someone in Xero, who are also in NZ, to give them a prod?

Yes, I looked at Commerce Xero, but Commerce is overkill for my invoicing needs, as I don't need currency-handling, a cart, checkout, or anything public-facing, and would prefer not to store any client-related data other than ID codes on the website. I have one product with one price, an advert, and want to automate client lookups and invoice generation in Xero, for later approval. Some clients pre-pay by EFT for blocks of adverts to obtain a discount, but Xero handles all of this.

I was going to write a D7 module utilising the Drupal Xero API, when I came across Node Xero, and though its code has been removed from drupal.org, I managed to dig it out from their vaults. It's not really a big deal, as Kosada and Xero have made its API very easy to work with, but I thought that it might be worth examining Node Xero, and I'm gob-smacked to find that there's a CCK module that no-one seems to have heard of!

It's possible that Node Xero is no longer compatible with the current Xero API anyhow, which might explain why Web Industries removed its code? Hopefully someone there will reply to my query.

Cheers, Conor.
