It is with great pleasure that Feng Office announces the release of Feng Office 2.0.0 to the general public.
Yeay! ;D
You can read more about it in the blog (http://www.fengoffice.com/web/blogen/?p=854).
Sign up to try it free (http://www.fengoffice.com/web/sign-up.php?plan=freetrial), or download the Community Edition for free (http://sourceforge.net/projects/opengoo/files/latest/download), and let us know what you think!
If you are upgrading from a previous version running on your own servers, please remember to backup!
Enjoy!
-
On a side note, something that we missed in the ReadMe:
If you are upgrading your installation - please remember to backup everything in case something goes wrong as it takes quite a lot of time if you have a lot of data -, once the ugprade is done you should change the TABLE_PREFIX from og_ to fo_ in the config.php file.

Great! Congratulations!
:D
By default, feng comes with Tags and Workspaces, which is great since it has been like this in 1.7.5.
Can I ask you a few things since I installed it locally for a test-drive:
- How can I manage my Dimensions?
I would like to create a new dimension: say Projects
- Can I restrict relationships?
Currently I can relate Objects to multiple workspaces... Can I restrict the relation to only a single workspace/dimension
For ex. : If I create a Project dimension, Can I have Tasks related to only one project at a time ?
- How can I create my own plug-in? Is There an API documentation, or I should inspect the default available plugins for now?
Kind Regards
-
Hello there!
As Conrado has mentioned in his blog post, in our rush to release the final version we were not able to finish this documentation, so we are still working on the documentation for the plugins and the API, as well as dimensions :)
This information will be available soon!
Best regards,
Francisco

Looking forward to it! :)
Keep up the good work!

One more thing, in case someone is upgrading from other versions:
In order to upgrade Feng Office 2.0 from Feng Office 2.0 RC, you should only need to copy and replace the new files for the new ones as no new SQL statement should be run. However, ALWAYS remember to backup all of your data in case of anything going wrong.
Please also have a look here for further information: http://www.fengoffice.com/web/wiki/doku.php/installation
Greetings!

We have published some documentation regarding the Feng Office API that we have released, among the documentation for the new and improved plugin system.
API documentation (http://www.fengoffice.com/web/wiki/doku.php/feng_office_2_api_documentation)
Plugin Engine (http://www.fengoffice.com/web/wiki/doku.php/feng_office_2_plugin_engine)
Chances are there are things to improve there, so please feel free to do it (it is Wiki content) or at least leave a comment with your thoughts.
Taking the opportunity, considering the Final has been released, it would be great if the application could be translated to other languages but English/Spanish. In case there are volunteers for this, we would greatly appreciate it as we do not speak fluently in other languages.
To those looking forward to helping us with this task, please post the new translations within your language section of the forum, and thank you very much!!
Greetings,

Hi,
we are an NGO using Feng Office 1.75 community version.
We are planning on upgrading from 1.75 to 2.0 but are unable to doso.
we tried doing a manual upgrade by copying all the folders from 2.0 except for public, upload and config folders and also replaced the og_ with fo_ in the table prefix but when i open the feng_root/public/upgrade it says that it is already upgraded and when i try opening the website it shows a blank screen even after clearing the cache.
I restored the backup and came back to the previous version.
Can you please help me with a proper detailed process of upgrading it and also correct me if i am missing anything.

This is the whole process one should follow to migrate from Feng Office 1.7.5 to 2.0 (in case you have a previous version, it is better if you upgrade it to 1.7.5 first)
1- Back up all of your data (file system and data base) in case anything goes wrong
2- Create a new directory to keep all of the new files of the new version
3- Change the TABLE_PREFIX at the config/config.php from og_ (or whatever) to fo_ and also change the database data.
4- Delete the cache/autoloader.php file (it will be regenerated automatically later on)
5- Access your installation and go to /public/upgrade and run the upgrade
6- When the upgrade is over, click on the link that says 'Complete migration' or alike, and in case you missed it, run it from public/upgrade/complete_migration.php
7- Wait a while.. the migration takes long depending on your server/computer and the amount of data
8- If you have a lot of data, repeat the steps 6 to 8 until you have the same amount of records in the fo_objects table as in the fo_processed_objects
We will be working on this last step to improve it, but for the time being it is the only way
Best regards,
Francisco

Everybody with problems upgrading to Feng Office 2.0 Community Edition, I recommend going over this thread:

Cheers!

Hi Conrado,
at the moment it is a little bit too silent for me. No news about the status of the development for FengOffice 2.0.
Can you give me/us a feedback about the current status or a roadmap.
For me FengOffice is a very good product but I must make now some decissions for the future and I hope the development is not stopped.
Thanks in advance and best regards

Dear All,
We have been really busy lately, more than usual actually, so we have not been able to pay much attention here, even though we certainly are looking forward to doing so.
Considering the fact that many of you have had issues when upgrading from 1.X to 2.X, I would like to share with you all a document with step by step guides on how to do it. You may find this document here:
Upgrade Manual (http://forums.fengoffice.com/index.php?topic=14871.msg31684#msg31684)
Make sure you are logged in, otherwise you cannot see it.
In case something is missing there, please let me know, and once I am able to I will update it - otherwise feel free to do so yourself of course -
On the other hand, as some people asked us about this, I want you all to know that we are working very hard and let you know that the development of Feng Office will certainly go on. In fact, the new release will be soon, which will bring along many new fixes and some improvements as well.
Best regards,
Francisco

Hello Francisco,
Thank you for the information.
It's good to hear that FengOffice will be on life.
Best regards

I give up... I've done everything mentioned in the many manuals for upgrade and clean installs. I have followed everybodies advise left and right. I'm sticking with 1.7.5 until there is a clear solution for installing the latest version.
even the clean install doesn't work for me. I'm either getting a white screen when trying to open /../../install folder or I'm getting a url back with a bunch of public/public/public. notifications in the url search bar.
Although I would love to enjoy the new features in the latest version I'm not going to risk losing everything I've got for a new version. Unfortunately running an older version of any software threatens security risks. Not to happy about that either but better then nothing I guess.
Even if I would get it installed,eventually, I'm hearing about a lot of issues and bugs still in this version so I would be to afraid to run my stuff on that now anyway.
I'll keep an eye on this forum for announcements for a little while.
