Development / Re: LDAP Integration

Just so everyone knows... I've just started working on adding LDAP authentication. Two screenshots attached. Hopefully, this will be ready for 1.7.

The problem with using the forum is that you have no way to capture the relationship between bugs, releases, browser, steps to repeat the bug...etc.

I wouldn't go so far as adding a bug tracker at this point. eGroupware is a disaster (IMHO) in their attempt to add so many different modules without having the resources to implement them properly or maintain them. SugarCRM, to some extent, is the same: they have a lot of modules but a lot of them don't work particularly well (e.g. the email module, even though it was recently revised; the bug tracker, which is feature poor vs the other solutions out there).

I would concentrate on perfecting the other modules first. I'm looking for a replacement for our customized version of Web2Project, a fork of dotProject, which is too confusing for users. I also created an internal fork of ProjectPier, which was never deployed because I just find that that platform (even the current ActiveCollab) is too lightweight for project management with regard to the user interface (how information is accessed, presented, etc.). Clearly, OpenGoo has made quite the progress since I last looked at it (when it was first forked).

Contact me by email if you need administrative help to setup a bug tracker.

Double click on the active tab. Why didn't I try that???

Thanks!

BTW, I was going to sign up for a wiki account so I can update the docs on this. But I received the error: "Looks like there was an error on sending the password mail. Please contact the admin!"

Older versions / OpenGoo 1.6beta3 tab refresh problems
« on: November 23, 2009, 09:22:12 pm »
When switching tabs, OpenGoo should make a call to a refresh() method. This problem is noticeable on calendar views, active task views, overview view, etc.

For example, if you go into the calendar and drag an item to another day, then switch to the overview tab, the overview tab will still show you the previous state of the calendar. Unless you reload the browser (not desirable). What should happen is that Goo should call a refresh method everytime you switch a tab. Or at least offer a "refresh" button for all tab content. Even better, offer both.

The way things are now, without proper refreshing, it confuses users as they think their changes haven't been applied.

Another example: start a timer on a task to make it "active," then go to the Timer tab. The new "active" task does not appear.

Using a forum for bug reporting doesn't work very well. It's extremely difficult (if not impossible) to track bugs this way.

Why isn't Mantis, Jira or some other useful tool being used for these purposes??

How To's / Re: All active tasks
« on: November 23, 2009, 02:45:30 pm »
Old topic, but to keep this reply with the thread for the next person that searches...

It appears that "Active Tasks" are those for which you have started a timer. So if you select a task, and start a timer it should show up in the Active Tasks area. I say "should" because as I'm testing OpenGoo 1.6beta3 I see that there's a refresh problem where the data is not accurate unless you reload a page--it should refresh (pull new data) as you switch tabs.
