Hi! i have a few ideas i want to add to projectpier, but i want to know if anyone else is working on that before doing anything :)
- projects export/import? this would be nice to have for many reasons, also some way to access the data from outside projectpier would be nice, like a rest or soap service, this would be usefull to integrate this on some other website
- some way to add the amount of time that a task have taken? this would be nice mostly if you add some way to export that data ;)
- reorder todo list by dragging the list nodes?
- make projectpier work multilanguage by user and not by instalation? (i know this is not a very complex one, at least didnt seemed to be it when i checked the code, might be the first change i'll take)
i will be doing some of this next weekend. any tips will be apreciated, and of course , anything i do to the code will be avaiable to the community
Cheers
Esteban
Hi Esteban,
I think I have seen all of these at some point or the other. They are all good ideas.
I suggest you check the issue tracker to see what the status is for them.
I know I had started to work on the per-user language setting. I didn't finish and honestly I'm not sure where I left it :) I remember there was some discussion on the mailing list about it, so you can also check the archives to get some ideas.
For the import/export, you might want to look at this. It would be good indeed to tie that with importing from Basecamp. I think you should look into discussions about project templates. There might be some common grounds there...
There is a time-tracking patch for review somewhere.
Finally for the drag-and-drop, search for jQuery on the forum or issue tracker. Somebody (I think it's GameGod) started to work on switching to it, so it might be a good idea to follow what's happening on that side.
More generally, I suggest you log what you're doing in the issue tracker, just to avoid what you're trying to avoid: two people working on the same thing :)
As a final word, I'd say you might want to join the dev mailing list and you can also find some people on IRC.
Good luck!
Tim
thank you!
i will :)
Hi, i am Sorin and I'm from Romania.
This idea with multilanguage per user is a very useful one.
In this time I work to complete Romanian translation.
In few days will be ready, but I'm new in this project and I have to find a way to talk with somebody about some little problems:
1. In this translation I use &#xxx; format for romanian special charactes because is not UTF-8 chaset declared. I can find alone the right place for this declaration, but if someone know can help.
2. Related to firs issue, in file "projectpier\application\views\administration\configuration.php" line 14 must be changed from:
"echo do_textile($config_category->getDisplayDescription())" to
"echo $config_category->getDisplayDescription()".
Function do_textile() don't allow to display characters writed if format &#xxx; because replace with &#xxx; and print like text. Is single place whre I found this problem. Who must update this in installation package?
3. Also related to first point: this application send notification emails. Inside of mail header must be includer right charset definition for message language. Additional, in an environment with language related to user this mail must have right language related to recipient, not to user who send this notification. This is an issue to be recorded somehow.
4. If I want to help a little to new versions, how I can participate?
Thank you for time used to read this issues and if some real valued answer you have, don't hesitate to write me back.
