Is Project Tools development dead?

[Alfa1]

Since the release of PT as an open source product, not much development seems to be going on.

Maybe it just seems that way, but if the Open Source forum is anything to go by there is not much hope for PT being developed into a mature product.

Is PT development dead or temporarily inactive?
Are there any plans to add new functions, addons or do a new release in the near future?

[Trek]

I've been wondering the same thing. Granted, what I have now seems to work pretty good, but there's a LOT of room for improvement. Would be nice to know the status of this though, so I can either be excited about an upcoming release, or get used to the fact that what I have now, is all I'm going to have.

[PitchouneN64ngc]

This is not dead :)

I added a lot of features, I'm waiting from some advice from our leaders (they are late) :p

Maybe you need to tell them to either lead, follow or get the hell out of your way? ;) Regardless,it's good to know it's being worked on at least. Any chance of some update notes or anything?

[PitchouneN64ngc]

I'll tell them to do it :)

[Andrew Elkins]

Let's get this released :)

[Alfa1]

Feedback on suggestion threads would be a great start.

Is there any roadmap that lists what suggestions are to be implemented?

[MrD]

Hi,
a Roadmap where cool.
But will PT work with vb4.1 in near future?

If the leaders do not have time for this project, why not allow some of the experienced developers to get involved.

[PitchouneN64ngc]

We will start our QA check in some days (hours?). I'm hoping to release it soon :)

Thank you. Merci. Gracias. Grazie. Etc. :D

weeks, months, ..., millennia?

[PitchouneN64ngc]

I hope to release it before the end of the month :)

[Alfa1]

Awesome. Thanks for the heads up.

BTW: how many people are actively working on PT?

[PitchouneN64ngc]

Versions (the app I'm using on OSX to commit/update files in SVN) don't have a statistics system on it - so I can't tell you :)

Due to the late of the release and latest changes in vBulletin, the version 2.1.2 will be 4.0.8+ only. Sorry for users which are using previous versions but like a lot of designers/coders, we can't add support for every releases as there is a lot of changes in every of them.

After this version, we are expecting to move to 2.2 with some new features (2.1.2 will have some of them but 2.2 should have more specific new features). I think 2.1 will have more updates but these could be only maintenance update (bug fixes).

When this will be released, I'll post here some changelog for 2.1.2 :)

[Alfa1]

No vb3.8??

[PitchouneN64ngc]

We didn't started anything about 2.0.x releases.

[Alfa1]

I hope that the development of PT for vb3.8 will be started by someone. It looks like vb4 may not be solid enough until quite a long time from now.

[Giray]

2.1.2 with colors pleeeeaaaaaase :D:D:D

[erosolmi]

Just installed 2.1.1 under VB 4.1 PL2 and all went fine.
So far this Mod is a great project.

Colors associated with status would be fantastic.

[kinchyle]

crossing fingers the star voting/rating concept makes it, not sure if there is a roadmap board

[PitchouneN64ngc]

Some bugs were found while the product is translated, fixed 2 / 4 (maybe 3 today). All related to thread/post import feature.

I hope to have all these issues fixed and approved on staging before sunday to release finally it.

[Alfa1]

Thanks for the update!

[Giray]

THANK YOU!!!!! So waiting for the color coding of statuses :D

[RedFoxy]

where is that update?

[PitchouneN64ngc]

9 issues were found while the translation was made - 7 are 100% fixed.

2 others of them are a little risky to fix them 100% (related to 1 template and the display of 1 error).

[RedFoxy]

sorry i thinked that was the "sphinx" project, btw can I help you traslating it in italian

[PitchouneN64ngc]

Already done. Thanks :)

C'est ? King Kovifor de faire la release, pas ? moi :)

The release must be made by King Kovifor, not me :)

[ZexTasy]

He hasn't been online for some days ... you have contacted him?

[KW802]

He hasn't been online for some days ... That's because he has been busy working on other stuff (http://xenforo.com/community/threads/galleria-the-basics.9504/). ;)

[Trek]

heh, in which case, he should pass this off to someone that has the time. I don't care if he's working on something for another product. For me, it's all about time. If you don't have the time to support this AND that... then let someone else do this.

[King Kovifor]

That's because he has been busy working on other stuff (http://xenforo.com/community/threads/galleria-the-basics.9504/). ;)

That's a side project. And not the reason my attention is else where. The update is being uploaded now.

[ZexTasy]

Thank you so very much King Kovifor! :)

[King Kovifor]

Well, since it still won't let me upload it here, I have uploaded it to my website for download (I will keep trying until I accomplish it here):

[Alfa1]

Could you post the changelog?

[Giray]

Thanks. Downloaded and uploading now.

[Andrew Elkins]

and I can't upload it either. Very strange. See if Paul will upload it for you in the mean time.

No one asked me, but I noticed another PT thread earlier. Ive uploaded the zip directly to vb.org for now.

The reason you cannot upload it as an attachment is the server settings only allow 2M files [max]. Ive logged aticket with IB support asking for the php upload limit to be increased.

I was gonna post that I have done the same. But, it's probably good to have both of us bug them cuz he's arguing with me about whether he should change the settings just for us. :/

[PitchouneN64ngc]

Maybe could we hope for 8M? To be less bored later :)

[neverstop]

Is it possible to delete issues?

[PitchouneN64ngc]

When you edit the issue, you have the option to delete it :)

[LoveStream]

I appreciate coder for this products.

I pluged it into vb4.1.2 successfully, and set cms wiget from given.

However the GUEST couldn't view the ptcomment wiget because of not allowed but members as my trial.

How could I config the permission to allow to view the ptcomment widget for the guest too?

Thanks.

[PitchouneN64ngc]

The recent Pt comments widget checks project permissions in its code. So if nothing is displayed for your guests, do they have access to the corresponding projects?

[LoveStream]

Yes, I have been double checked it, General Permission through project permission.
Though I allowed all to enable (yes) but it still won't works.

Any GUEST is not participate a project. I won't to show just the PT comments to them.


Thank you.

[PitchouneN64ngc]

Strange as it checks permission before to select issues to select comments.

while ($issueresult = vB::$db->fetch_array($issueids))
{
$issueid = verify_issue($issueresult['issueid'], true, array('avatar', 'vote', 'milestone'));

$issueperms = fetch_project_permissions(vB::$vbulletin->userinfo, $project['projectid'], $issueid['issuetypeid']);

I will review it when I could have some time.

[whiplash13]

There was talk about version 2.2 back in November but haven't seen any new updates. Is this a dead project now?

[Trek]

As a door nail. Although I'm sure someone will reply "correcting" me. =)

Not dead :)

As said, we are coding it on our free time. If we don't have a lot, we can't code more than expected.

[Alfa1]

Im grateful that you spend your free time developing PT. At least the money we spent upon PT is not completely gone.
With 11 developers coding in their free time, a minor point release every 6 months is not much. PT is much in need of several major point releases, as it misses a lot of functionality. Does it need more developers or more time from the developers?

[Paul M]

11 Developers ?

[Adrian Schneider]

Alfa, what are your needs exactly? I may have something else which may work. (feel free to PM me)

[Alfa1]

11 Developers ?
This list has 11 developers on it, not counting the administrators Michael Biddle and Jeremy.
http://www.vb-os.com/showgroups.php

Alfa, what are your needs exactly?
A project tools that is fully integrated with forum, social groups, CMS and calendar, so that it is optimal as a site bug tracker, project & task manager for community members and staff.

[Paul M]

In reality, most of those are not working on it (including me). PitchouneN64ngc is doing about 95% of the work.

You dont want much then. :erm:

[Adrian Schneider]

lol yeah that is quite the tall order.

We've been using Unfuddle (paid SaaS, with free versions) internally for 3-4 years now and absolutely love it. They have an API which I've integrated into vBulletin back in the vBlogetin days, but I just started using it again for a newer product.

I'd be willing to share that code for free, but if nobody uses or wants to use Unfuddle, it's pretty useless.

I thought I'd ask at least. :)

[Alfa1]

The beauty of PT was that it had the same editor, and thereby was easier for forum users to use.

Will PT 2.2 be released at all? It seems that it was nearly completed last year.

[PitchouneN64ngc]

I'm finalizing QA about it, I found a database error some days ago :)

[Alfa1]

Would it be an idea to post a request for more developers?

[PitchouneN64ngc]

I don't think this is necessary now, maybe later :)

[PitchouneN64ngc]

The update will come in a few days.

I'm highly invested in vB5 since some time and with 2 jobs, I'm cumulate more than 90 hours per week. This is why this release made some time to come.

Did the update ever get released? :)

[PitchouneN64ngc]

Yes, it will. I just got a decent Internet connection, it will be released :)

[nighteyes]

Yes, it will. I just got a decent Internet connection, it will be released :)

So no, it didn't ever get released. This update must be enormous if it requires a decent internet connection to upload. :D

If you need any help finishing this off, let me know. We have some great vB developers who could contribute time to the project.

[Kaelon]

Can we get an update on this tool? If nighteyes is willing to contribute development resources to moving it forward, we should get those resources assigned so that we can make progress. Having a better version of the integrated task-tracker with vB3 would really help me about now.

[Alfa1]

I really think this project needs more developers.

After using various other project tools software like mavenlink etc, it turns out that PT is often better than modern software.
