Major Additions - vBTracker LITE - Dynamic Project Tracker

vBTracker is a dynamic project tracking system for your vBulletin!

To compare the full set of features for the PRO version, view the vBTracker Project Page. Note that projects and submissions made in the LITE version will not be lost should you choose to upgrade. Also: Admins, Super Mods, Mods and Registered Users are the only usergroups who will have access, the latter of which has only viewing access.

If you are running vBulletin 3.6.5 or older, apply the Fix for Old vBulletins.txt!

What kind of stuff would I want to track?
If you run any kind of business or develop anything really, you'll want to be able to track progress in more structured manner. I myself made this hack so that I could have multiple Bug Trackers, Support Ticket Systems, Feature Suggestions, Submissions Review, and even track the ton of custom job requests I get all the time Basically vBTracker can be made to track anything, and you can view my own project directory as a Guest Viewable Live Demo.

Also, as a LITE script this will not receive any real updates save the obligatory bugfix, but I am happy to support your use of the LITE version here Thank you for using my scripts! To show your appreciation, please indicate that you have installed it, or perhaps a MOTM nomination Enjoy!

wow -

this is what I've been looking for for ages!

One question...in either the lite or the full version, is it possible to have fields that MUST be filled out?

For instance, right now I have users submit a form: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/newt...20Bug%20Report

Once the user submits the bug, a new thread is created in the bug reporting forum, here: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/streetdeck-bug-reports/

I've used the following hacks to make this whole system work:

Forms hack
Support Forum hack
New thread icons hack
New thread button hack

It's very cumbersome and it leaves a LOT to be desired.

This hack looks like it does most everything I need, except for custom fields. Is this the case?

I'm trying to find a price on the vBCredits web page, but I cannot find a price at all.

question -

If you turn off the portal, you can link to each tracker using the link tracker.php?projectid=X, where X is the projectid for the specific tracker.

So lets say I have multiple individuals hosting their software on our forums. I'd like to give each of them the ability to have their own tracking system but I don't want it all to be located through one link. I'd rather they create a link in their forum to their particular project and their users access that project tracker via that link. Is this possible with this setting?

All of the submission properties must be configured upon submission, as you can see in this screenshot http://www.vbcredits.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=26&c=8

You can use the versions field for a custom settings field, and you can see how I do that in my own project directory http://www.vbcredits.com/forum/tracker.php
Otherwise, adding/editing/deleting the severity/type/status labels is only available in the pro version (the set is hardcoded in lite)

You can see the price for it when you click the purchase button on this page http://www.vbcredits.com/projects/vbtracker/index.php. I cant say the price here, but its less than Project Tools

Yes, simply add their project, and look in the project manager to find the id for that project. Report to that group what their project id is, and they can then link to it.
Note that should an outsider guess the url, they will have regular access. Also remember lite has usergroup restrictions, so your script hosters will need to be moderator or better to post in it. Full usergroup permissions as well as usergroup restriction per project is in pro.

My users are unable to post any bug. As an admin, I can. DO you know why this happens?

[RedGTiVR6]

Can they see the projects?

[Crrrazzzy]

I don't see the Usergroup Permissions area for the vBTracker. The only thing I see in the ACP for the vBTracker is this:

http://www.vbcredits.com/gallery/showimage.php?i=32&c=8

Without the last two options. "Manage Labels" and "Manage Submissions" are not there.

Did I mis-install?

[RedGTiVR6]

Those are options only available in the pro version.

To learn about the difference between the pro and lite versions, see here: http://www.vbcredits.com/projects/vbtracker/index.php

Gotcha. How much is the pro version? (I'm registering right now just to check it out)
