Feng Office 1 / Short Appointments

I created a calendar entry for 15min in duration, and it shows up as such a tiny sliver on the calendar I can't see any text, and without text to see, there's no link to click to edit it again.

Feature requests / Re: Not viewing sub-workspaces

« on: December 15, 2008, 01:24:55 pm »

Yea, I suppose I could create a separate workspace like that... but it seems counter-intuitive to how things are already laid out...

Like say I have a client "Acme Company" and I'm doing three different projects for them...

+ Acme Company
     Project 1
     Project 2
     Project 3

and I keep all project specific stuff in the respective sub-workspaces, it just seems natural to me that anything that is for the client, but not specific to a job would go under the Acme Company workspace.

And to have a simple toggle "View this workspace and all childworkspaces" that you could turn on or off seems more natural than creating another sub-workspace for items that are not specific to a particular project.

But maybe that's just me.

It may be easy enough to make it configurable... ? Guess I haven't looked to see what arguments need to be passed and how.

Is there any plan to allow a calendar entry to be in more than one workspace?

How about when viewing a contact or company info, a link that pulls the contact or company address and bring it up on Google Maps.

No... cause most of the time I want to see a combined view. there are just times where I would like to filter out everything else is all.

Feature requests / Not viewing sub-workspaces

One of the great things bout OpenGoo is seeing an aggregate of all the info in the workspaces under it... but it would be nice to have a check box or filter to not do so...

for example... I have a company workspace, with private workspaces under for each employee.

When I view the company notes or tasks, I also see my stuff (the other employees in this case are private to them), but it would be nice to turn off viewing my stuff mixed in with the company stuff.

This is sort of related, and I don't know if it's a bug, or just not a feature yet... but it doesn't seem to remember my layout in contacts... being able to remember the last, or make it an account option would be nice.

I'm little disappointed on effort energies and promoting a Proprietary solution (like Skype)... Instead why not implement integration with Open VoIP solutions? like Asterix...

Why not both?

If supporting business users is a possible means of supporting OpenGoo, programs that have the largest market penetration, like Skype, can't be ignored just because it is not open-source.

A program like Pidgin would not see the usage it does if it ignored everything but XMPP.

Maybe the easiest way to do this would be ask when editing or deleting... (like my Palm software does)

Do you want to change just this instance, all (past and future) or future (from that instance moving forward).

A single sign-on is VERY desirable - but personally I have no idea how to achieve this.

It can be done, but you need to pick your "home base", for example the forums.
Then you have to modify the code in the other apps, like Wiki or WordPress.. change the code that uses their own registration to read the tables from the forums.

Alternately, create an entirely new userbase table(s) and modify any app you use to use those new tables.

We did the former and then migrated to the latter for a group of sites I run that run multiple instances of PHPbb and FlashChat all using a single, unified userbase.

don't ask me for specifics tho, as I'm not the guy that did the code work.

How To's / Re: Using opengoo with a small law practice?

« on: December 01, 2008, 04:44:36 pm »

Under "Clients" I create a sub-space for each client. Some clients I do one job for, some I do multiple... so looking at the list of workspaces it might look like this...

Clients
     Client 1
          Job 1
     Client 2
          Job 1
          Job 2
          Job 3
     Client 3
          Job 1
          Job 2
     Client 4
          Job 1

I enter the contact info for Client 1 under the Client 1 workspace, not under the Job, but say Client 2 is a restaurant chain and each job is a different location...

I'd enter the corporate contact info under the Client 2 workspace, but I could enter the store specific contact (manager or whatever) under the Job they are associated with. That way, when looking at Client 2, I see the corporate contact as well as all the job specific contacts... but if I want to filter it to a specific job, I just go to that Job.

Same principle works for notes, tasks, etc. I can track tasks for each job by putting them in that workspace, but I can get an overview of everything from that client from that client workspace.

Hope that clears up what I meant...

I pretty much agree with what you said glyf, but I'm not sure folks were asking for Skype "integration" as much as "interaction", which yea, fist your point number 2.

I can already use skype to dial a phone number I see on any web page, but getting certain alerts via IM either in Skype or via xmpp would be nice... Skype should be doable via an API (is there one for Skype), xmpp should be very doable.

As for #3, check out FlashChat - they have done a very good job at making their chat program easy to integrate with just about anything out that has a userbase, from forums to CMS to whatever. And actually, it would be very easy for an OpenGoo user to add FlashChat on their site and have a chat system where uses log in using their OpenGoo un/pw.

While FC isn't exactly FOSS, it does only cost $5 for a site license.
