PHProjekt Preview release #2

Wednesday, April 22. 2009

In this week we would like to publish another (in fact: the last) preview release of PHProjekt 6. In the past months we were busy to add new features and to get more stability into the application. Since the first preview release, we added the following modules:
- New project modules: tickets, files, contacts
- Calendar: Serial events, week and month view. day view for several users
- Filemanager module: multiple upload of files
- Project statistics
- Setup and migration routine
- Help system

Furthermore we made some improvements also thanks to the feedback from the community:
- An html editor for textareas in all forms
- Direct URL for each request
- Allow back button (FF)

Before the final release of PHProjekt 6.0, which we hope that we can do in summer, we will to improve the timecard modul and add a minutes module.

PHProjekt 6 is now hosted on sf, you can get the download version here: http://sf.net/projects/phprojekt.
Of course you can try out our demo at p6.phprojekt.com (login english:test)

all the best
The PHProjekt dev team

Great News!
I would be glad, if Opera would be supported too.

IF you are familar with opera, you might want to do some smaller adjustments and send over the patches to the mailinglist? That would be very helpful.

#1.1 David on 2009-04-28 01:06 (Reply)

P6 looks good. Awesome piece of work, but cant use it with Opera mini 4.2 on my mobile device

#1.2 ELEx (Link) on 2009-05-13 16:20 (Reply)

Looks very promising. But change the background colour in the project shortcuts. Very hard to read and not very "attractive". Perhaps som skins with different CSS-files to choose from would be a solution ?

nice especially in gantt chart...

#3 noiy58@yahoo.com on 2009-04-28 03:32 (Reply)

Very cool! I can't wait for 6 to come out.

#4 AramZS (Link) on 2009-04-29 15:38 (Reply)

Are todos and notes only useable in conjunction with projekts?

Looking forward ...

I cant see any email-functionalties in the online demo. Are they disabled or does phprojekt no more longer has such features?

#7 Pierre on 2009-05-22 15:24 (Reply)

Email functions and features are included, but an own mail module as a mail client won't be included anymore.

Dear Albrecht Günther,
First I would like to know if Phprojekt 6.0 French translation existing ?
Second i would like to know if auto installer for MS Windows existing because i don't know PhP, Mysql and Co ... ?O-)
Third Phprojekt seems to be very interesting and i would like to know if French users are known ?
Very best wishes.

#7.1.1 Frederic on 2009-05-24 20:51 (Reply)

Thank You

Hi,
I installed phprojekt6 on a server now, and it was pretty straightforward. I did not use the defaultvalues for the paths, but after adjusting the values in the configuration.ini anyway it worked. phprojekt6 is running.
There is sometimes an errormessage "parenthesis )" missing not on a regular basis. It happens sometimes - not always, when multiple checkboxes are checked and sent. It appears in different modules not reproducible.
Maybe you can use this hint somehow

Thanks for now
Thomas

#8 Thomas on 2009-05-27 18:48 (Reply)

Hoi,
noch ein anderes Problem taucht auf.
Manchmal wird angezeigt, dass eine Änderung gespeichert wurde, es wird dann aber trotzdem kein Item gefunden. Auftreten in mehreren Modulen:

Kalender

Herzlichen gruß

#9 Thomas on 2009-05-27 18:55 (Reply)

Looking great!

Is there any plans to include/support ganttproject -files or any other import/export?

I installed 5.x and PBridge addon and tested with it. Version 5 is missing Gantt though

Support for import/export for some standard would be great (Ganttproject would be nice, because it is free software too).

#10 Samuli Valavuo on 2009-05-28 13:11 (Reply)

Since gantt in P6 supports interactive dragging, ganttproject won't be supported in P6. But contributions are welcome!

#10.1 Albrecht on 2009-05-28 14:49 (Reply)

Hi,

What is the way to translate this software?

I'd like to have this in finnish. Can you show me the light for this? Where to go and what and how to do it?

#11 Samuli Valavuo on 2009-05-29 08:38 (Reply)

Downloading of Uploaded files is not possible...

#12 Ro (Link) on 2009-06-29 15:09 (Reply)

Hi, the link is fine, i need to ask, if the file is correctly uploaded.

In the configuration.ini, is correct the uploadpath ?
The directory exists? have write access? there it the uploaded file there?

Regards.

#12.1 Gustavo Solt on 2009-07-02 19:19 (Reply)

To answer your 3 questions:

yes,
yes,
yes, I checked. It's some kind of checksum (md5)?

Regards,

Ro

#12.1.1 Ro on 2009-07-02 22:46 (Reply)

i'm facing the same problem, downloading of Uploaded file is not possible, the url is showing the encrypted (encoded??) file name same as in the upload folder but the page is blank and no action happening (e.g.:browser downloading file etc...)

#12.1.2 Rizal on 2009-07-09 03:14 (Reply)

Hi,
The link is correct, anyway, we have some problems with the encode type, so the next version will have only the id in the link, and the server will search for the file.

Sorry for the bug, we are working on that.

Regards

#12.1.2.1 Gustavo on 2009-07-11 03:39 (Reply)

Can someone here help me out or point me to the correct page/thread regarding installation of the v6. My problem(in short) is as follows:

I setup the configuration file and uploaded it with what I believe to be all of the correct details. CHMOD777
going to the root for the installation I get the following Error message:
"/public_html/project/logs/debug.log" cannot be opened with mode "a"

Thank you in advance and sorry to drop this in here.

#13 Omar on 2009-07-03 15:55 (Reply)

Hi,
The error is because the webserver doesn't have access to the log, maybe because the path or the access, if the path is correct, check the access of the file/directory, and the user/group of the webserver.

Check the Install file for more details.

Regards.

#13.1 Gustavo on 2009-07-11 03:37 (Reply)

Thanks Gustavo, I'll have a look into that and let you know.

#14 Omar on 2009-07-14 17:33 (Reply)

PHProjekt 6 is amazing, guys! I've looked at way too many open-source and proprietary project management systems and PHProjekt 6 blows them all out of the water. The GUI on the demo looks amazing as well. Do you know what month it will be released?

#15 Grant (Link) on 2009-07-17 21:55 (Reply)

Would also be interessted in the release date. Will it happen this summer?

#15.1 Philipp on 2009-07-27 15:23 (Reply)

Hi, we are near the release, making the last test/security stuff.

The idea is release it in this summer, yes, but we don't have a final date yet.

Regards

#15.1.1 Gustavo Solt on 2009-08-05 19:42 (Reply)

Hi,
i cannot upload files, which have size over 500 KB. can somebody help me?

php.ini setting:
max_upload_size 8M

thanks

#16 tk on 2009-07-25 16:36 (Reply)

Hi

The limit is internal from p6,
in the application/Default/Views/dojo/upload.phtml there is an input:

Should be a config, but is fixed now, you can change it if you want.

Regards

#16.1 Gustavo Solt on 2009-08-05 19:39 (Reply)

Thanks for answers.

#16.1.1 tk on 2009-08-10 15:13 (Reply)

Hi,
one Question please:
I want to install/work 1stTime with my PHProject.
Should I install V 5 or waiting for the new Relase ? I did'nt find a actual timeline

Regards Egbert

#17 Egbert S. on 2009-08-03 15:23 (Reply)

Hi,

You can start with p6 directly, you don't need the p5 for that.

But you need to know, P5 is used since many years, and p6 will have the first final release soon.

I hope that you start using p6

Regards

#17.1 Gustavo Solt on 2009-08-05 19:45 (Reply)

Perfect! I start installing it on our server asap and will try to help you in developing for ical and calendar rss like google does.

Philipp

#17.1.1 Philipp (Link) on 2009-08-06 15:20 (Reply)

This is a great start. I'd love to see skinning options and XSLT transformation for exporting. Any idea how many developers are working on modules, or what we might expect to see from them?

Earlier version had great CMS modules, and resource leveling tools. Anything like that in the works?

#18 paul cerda on 2009-08-10 19:53 (Reply)

Hi Paul,

CMS won't be integrated, sorry. XSLT for export won't appear in the next versions, too. Resource management modules are on the todo list, yes.

#18.1 Albrecht on 2009-08-11 09:25 (Reply)

hey guys,
i just can't wait for the v6 to be released, is there already a release date?
thank you very much, i appreciate your work!

#19 Matthias on 2009-08-15 13:13 (Reply)

Hi Matthias,
thanks

We are near the release, but we don't have yet a real release date.
You can test the current installation in
http://p6.phprojekt.com/htdocs/index.php
or download the current SVN from Source Forge

Greetings

#19.1 Gustavo Solt on 2009-08-25 03:16 (Reply)

Hi guys,

I'm a long time user of PHProjekt, still running a production server with v4.

v6 looks really great and I have installed it for testing. I have one question though:

How do I set the time range on the timecard page?
Mine is only from 8:00 to 20:00, but on the demo page I can see 24 hours range.

Thank you for a very fine product, I have used PHProjekt on daily basis through the last 7 years.

#20 Steffen (Link) on 2009-09-03 08:51 (Reply)

Hi Steffen,
The hours range is fixed to 0-24 per now, is not configurable.

Anyway, the timecard have a new layout, you can check it in the next days on the live demo.

Greetings.

#20.1 Gustavo Solt on 2009-09-04 16:14 (Reply)

Hi Gustavo,
If it is fixed, then there must be a filter or somthing.
My timecard->Projekt bookings shows hours from 8:00 to 20:00, and I would really like to have the full 24 hour range.
Do you have any clues how why I don't see the same as the demo page?

Regards Steffen

#20.1.1 Steffen on 2009-09-07 13:54 (Reply)

Hi Steffen,
the Demo online have always the last changes

A new release is near, with all of the cool changes, so you will be able to download it.

The SVN is always open for get the last files, if you want too.

Greetings.

#20.1.1.1 Gustavo Solt on 2009-09-18 16:06 (Reply)

Hi,
I don't want to stress you too much, you are doing great work!
But it would be important for me to know until when the resease date for v6 will be, do you know already?
Thanks a lot,
Brigitte

#20.1.1.2 Brigitte (Link) on 2009-09-29 13:54 (Reply)

hi everyone

p6 is really great sw and after local testing we set up a version on strato.

wanted to ask how it is possible to install addons with phprojekt6.

install files only say 'put in /addons folder' but only version < 6 have this folder in theeir structure. i also tried to create them, but without any result...

Is there an install guide for v6 or a tutorial or something that could help me up?

cheers

#21 Bastian on 2009-09-08 16:35 (Reply)

Hi,
P6 don't have "addons", but the structure allow directly the module, since the idea is "each module provide all the stuff necessary"

So you can easy make a new module using the API, and put it like the others in the application folder.

We are working right now in the documentation for the User, Developers and the Internal one.

If you want to start, just use the Module Designer in the admin (for create the module), and then play customizing it

Greetings.

#21.1 Gustavo Solt on 2009-09-18 16:03 (Reply)

For my finals at school, school tried to force me using M$ Project. After downloading de SVN version of PHProjekt 6, they allowed it. And it works GREAT*!

(* if you don't mind the little bugs sometimes)

#22 Tessa Bakker (Link) on 2009-09-18 15:08 (Reply)

Good news!

Is it utf8 compatible?

#23 FuzzFree - Greece web dev (Link) on 2009-09-26 00:25 (Reply)

Hi,

just installed v6. First impression is great.

Will there be the possibility for different groups in future?

At the moment one can choose a calender view with different users just in day format. Is there a plan to make this also possible for month view?

#24 Andy Gerhardt (Link) on 2009-10-27 19:00 (Reply)

Groups: already implemented, even with 'nested' groups. the separation works over the projects!

Multiple view over weeks and monts: planeed, but not for 6.0

greetings to Texas(?)

#24.1 Albrecht on 2009-10-28 09:13 (Reply)

hi there,

impressed by the demo of P6, i've just installed the beta and get stuck in the install process with my infrastructure configuration. the reason: magic-quotes settings.

so far, the server i'm using runs php5.2.6 and configured differently; but when asked, the roots wondered why such config setting for a beta version since those functions are already obsolete with php5.3 and will disappear with php6.

don't know enough to question the rationale of yours, but i'd rather like to know if there is any workaround to that php settings so that i use P6, or any plans for addressing it so that it is compliant with current/upcoming php versions.

thanks a lot for your answers and the great job on that p6beta.

cheers
thierry

#25 thierry on 2009-11-13 18:13 (Reply)

Hi thierry,

After some discussions, we resolve to use the magic_quotes_gpc off.

The reason, is the one you say, is deprecated and will be removed. So we must be SURE that P6 will be installed with the setting in OFF.

If your server uses the magic_quotes_gpc on, try to disable it in some way, here are the link for see how do it: http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.magicquotes.disabling.php

#25.1 Gustavo Solt on 2009-11-16 16:18 (Reply)

Hallo,

vielen Dank für die geniale Software. Es macht wirklich Spass hiermit zu arbeiten!

Viele Grüße
