Yup PF gets easier the more you use it  :D

yeah would be nice if we could have darker pages for the tracker (my eyes!) I remember it was dark before, but the text was barely readable ??? If it could be all-white text on a darker page that would be sweeeeet!

I'll see about the theme. We need an overall good one for Joomla. I find the whole thing a but confusing and daunting still, but I know I'll get there.

I set the theme to the light one to see the tracker better, but I also prefer it to be dark, so once I know what I'm doing it will be.  ;)

Currently unable to add or edit anything on the project tracker or post on the project tracker forums.

Try now. I've added you to the Developer group and set up access in the Tracker for that group.

I think I have the access to the Project Tracker set up right now. To be able to access the menus and create/view/comment, etc on projects, you need to be in the developer group. let me know if something doesn't seem to work right.

Edit:

I've done some testing and it seems to be set up correctly now. However many of the individual items for some of the projects have their access level set to Public. So go through the items you don't want non-developers to see.

This is a great feature in PF, cause you can set access levels all the way down the tree, so we could set up a project with public access to the repository for downloads. It would also be possible to set it for registered user to comment on tasks, or any other item you desire.

When you create any new item in the tracker you set the access level right then and there. I think it defaults to Public, so be aware of that.

As it is now any member of the developer group have the same access level to all projects. We can change this, if we so desire, but I think it's good like this it is for now. If we get a lot of projects and developers, we can look into groups within the developer group.

Thanks so much Wolven and thanks gytfunke!

Wolven just so you know, I started adding a "projectfork" tag to some of the posts here (including some of yours) so we can find them later for making a "how to" guide.

Let's use that tag whenever appropriate pls ;) thanks!

Hi Wolven.

I gave the Project Tracker its own sub-forum over here.

I was thinking...
  • it would be good to highlight it with its own sub-forum since its a major offering of our site
  • as it starts to get usage it will need to be easier to find

Hope this is okay with you  ;)

EDIT - oh and i LOVE the new color scheme and font-sizing on the tracker / much easier to work with :)

OK, cool.

Yes' it's starting to look like something now, finally. I spent all night trying find or create a usable template, but it's hard when you have no clear idea of what the layout should look look like. It's also quite a lot of work to do it all from scratch, at least when you don't really know what you're doing.

Anyway, the current theme is work in progress, it needs a few tweaks. But I'll get there eventually.  ;)

Hey Wolven,

Would there be any way to signify the presence of unread comments on Project tasks, etc?  Currently there's no notice if someone adds a new comment to one of those threads.  Maybe a little TL gear next to the task or somesuch?

I don't think it features any visual alerts for new comments or posts. The only thing I can find is the Email Notifications

In the Pro version there's a User Activity Stream feature. I think having that would help a lot with the issue you're bringing up.

The Pro version also have some other nice features I'd like to have, so I have been thinking about buying it. The price is $99, which is not too bad, really. Not sure if I can include that in my budget this month, but maybe next.

Is that $99 a one-time fee (I certainly hope so)? and it buys you support as well?

Yes, it's a one time fee for version 4. pro extensions.

I confirm i receive mail notifications regularly from projects im a member in.

So it should be possible to make the TM mule account a member of each project and have it forward notifications to a google group (1 for each project).

You could then embed each group back here in TM, into the project it belongs to, giving you a kind of "changes" dashboard per project.

What do you think?

If some projects want to go that route, I'd have no problems adding the mule account to the appropriate group.

I'm also open for looking at other solutions for working with collaborative projects. If there's a different add-on for Joomla we could use, or if there's a different system, which is not a Joomla add-on. I just need to be able to set it up without too much hassle.
