2.0 Compatible Add on Modules - devs please read

[Karen]

Could all add on module developers please start to list the add on modules that they have now been updated to be compatible with 2.0 as replies to this topic.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

Do NOT post announcements of what doesn't work - this request clearly stipulates "start to list the add on modules that have now been updated".

[jcgonz]

I updated the messages module so it uses the new main_funcion getUserArray instead of the direct SQL statement; this solves the contact_first_name issue.

About the Smartsearch module, I''ve not found any problems, the only thing needed I think is to update the search objects so they take into consideration the new database's fields.

I'm a newbie to dotprojetc and i wanna know how to add modules in dotproject ?. Thanks

[cyberhorse]

you go to sf.net/projects/dotmods and look at what modules are available. You download them and extract them in dotproject (they go in the modules directory). Then you go in dotproject -> system administration -> modules and click on install, then on disable and then on hidden.

[dmaodo]

What are the fonctionnalities of these modules below :
helpdesk
journal
inventory
links
backup ?

[cyberhorse]

helpdesk is a bug tracking module
journal is for taking notes
inventory is a module to keep track of material purchases in companies
links is keeping links (now in core)
backup is for making and recovering from backup (now in core more or less)

[dmaodo]

I have forgotten for modules invoices and inventory,i mean their fonctionalities ?
Please

[cyberhorse]

help is all online in the wiki (link to it on the main site)
invoices - allows you to mark task_logs as part of one invoice, and then keep track of it until it's paid by a customer
you already asked about inventory ... (I wish there was a "bang head against the wall" icon on these forums in times like these ... like this one http://www.macs.unisa.edu.au/sixty/phpbb/images/smiles/icon_bangh.gif)

[crusader]

I am developing a new module called SEOreports, that is version 2.0 compatible. The module is in it's infancy and is still in development.

The module use is for SEO web site performance and reporting. Things like, link popularity, SE saturation, SERPS + more.

As per your request Karen, I have posted my module against your post.

Regards,
Crusader

Seems that Unitcost is not compatible with latest version.

[caseydk]

UnitCost - while a great module - requires quite a bit of copying and pasting of code into specific files throughout dotProject. Therefore, you'll run into problems with the latest and greatest version of dotProject.

Once someone updates it for the Smarty-based system, it should be able to be loaded dynamically a bit more cleanly.

[nma]

Hey caseyDK,

can ya post the pack of tasks, and project (php file), compiled working with 2.1RC

:D

That would be great ;)

Thnkx

[caseydk]

I'd love to be able to, but I honestly don't know... we've put out the call to Module Developers to update things, so we'll have to wait and see.

Realistically, any of them that require any copy/pasting into core files are going to be difficult at best.

[kopinits]

Hi,

There's a module for Users?

I'd like to add custom fields for users, but this option don't exists.

I'm planning to write this module if it desn't exists.

[kopinits]

Me Again,

About the dependencies when copping tasks.

I know the version 3 will fix this, but I allerady "fixed" here. I'm using temporary table to help me with the correct copy of dependencies.

I'll put the code here later(I don't have it here now).

[Karen]

Please post it on http://bugs.dotproject.net - particularly as this thread was supposed to be for devs to flag what add on modules had been updated.

[vishwasrao]

Go to wiki page of dotproject .There is option called "Addon Modules" .click on that
Download different modules ,unzip them into modules folder .Go to dotproject login->system admin->view modules. Then click on install,Then active & make it visible on right side.

[sonug_2002]

How we can show actual task start date, actual task end date, actual hours worked along with estimated start date, end date and hours in task report?

Is there any add on module available for this?

[ajdonnison]

You would need to modify the code of the report.

[moacyr]

does anyone kwnows if the backup module for the new version is going to have an option for doing the backup automatically?

[j81godoy]

I need to integrate mantis with dotProject, but I can't find any place to download the module. Do you people know? I would be glad if you can give me the documentation too.


Thank you.

[khavayero]

Hello!

My name is Chema, I'm Spanish and my english isn't very good, I'm sorry.

Today, I have installed the module "helpdesk". I have a "fatal error" when I select the option "My Open".

The problem is that the var $dPconfig['root_dir'] is empty. The code line is:

require_once($dPconfig['root_dir'] . "/modules/helpdesk/helpdesk.functions.php");

and

require_once($dPconfig['root_dir'] . "/modules/helpdesk/vw_idx_handler.php");

Why it is empty? What's the problem? Is my Server? (Apache)

I changed it by:
require_once("./modules/helpdesk/vw_idx_handler.php");
require_once("./modules/helpdesk/helpdesk.functions.php");

and I have resolved the problem.

Regards!

[j81godoy]

I want develop a new module for dotProject, is thera any documentation to help me with this job?


Thanks.

[pavanesh_soni]

You can get details on "how to create module"? in dot project document website.Please let me know for what purpose u are going to create, presently i am also planning to work on a module related to live chat.

[ajdonnison]

Basically the code is the documentation. Look at one of the simpler modules, like forums or contacts. The structure is pretty simple.

[chiklopes]

hello people,
I am new here in this forum. I had just installed the DotProject 2.1.2 and it is working lovely. it is the best program :D . very much obliged by this program. but I thought some problems when I installed the modules Invoices 0.4 and Finances 0.1. I did not get what was working these modules as it must be :confused: . I do not manage to insert bills and not even receipts. can anybody help me? will it be that these modules are not compatible with the above-mentioned version? where that I can find a list of compatible modules with this version 2.1.2
thanks a lot

what function does the dotproject modules like admin module use to write to mysql database. In what code in the php file does it echo and write to the database? Where is the code or script that writes to the mysql database in the modules?

Can anyone direct me?

[rodrigobrandao]

I developed a new layout for the dotProject, but do not know where can I post them.

Some one can send me a instruction to what do?

[manuelfarelo]

Hi Rodrigobrandao.... your theme is very nice!!!, good job!!. Could you send me your theme? I'm very interesting on it.

Otherwise, I'm thinking to do a module for calculate percent completion of task and projects through hours worked, not for days.... Do anybody know if somebody did something like that?

Thanks in advance.

[monero]

I'm a newbi looking for module or plug in for wordpress
any one info for me?

[cyberhorse]

Haven't heard of something like that.

[jsrobinson]

I saw someone say the documentation about what the add-ons do is in the wiki, but the wiki doesn't talk about

FlexGantt
Details
Opportunities
Annotations
Interactive Gantt
Holiday
and others. I am happy to try to document, but don't have time to download all of these and install and take screenshots. I personally am interested most in the Gantt addons, does anyone know what these do, features etc?

Thanks!

[ajdonnison]

Add-ons are normally supplied without warranty and by third parties, so the core team often don't even know they exist until someone mentions them in the forums. If you can contribute to the add-ons, that is great, however it is probably best to try and work with the add-on developer.

[shest]

Hi!
I'm a new dotproject user (and french... sry for my english)
I would like to know if it is possible to create a sub-project or if a mod can allow us to do that. So, the Gantt chart is very basic; is there a module more flexible ? (not generated a picture but something like flash chart or JS chart for more interactive action and visibility) Is there a mod project to make the gantt more usefull? (color, interactivity, easy zoom)
If not exist, i'm going to work on it, but not before two month (lot of work...)

Thank u and dotproject is a very good project, like it.

Good job! :)

It's a long time since I coded, now I am a PM...
I am working right now on the Risks module, fixed a few incompatibilities with newer version of PHP (Risks code dates back to 2005).
I hope I can finish it in the very next days.

Questions:

Where should I post the modified code?

The code was initially developed by CaseySoftware LLC. Who owns the code right now?
I'd like to make some enhancements - namely, adding a risk response strategy, calculating the risk impact, and adding a list of action items related to the risk response.
Is there any kind of "Product Manager" prioritising the requirements and deciding what will go into the next version of the module?


Thanks for the anwer in advance. I'm quite new to the open software development community, thus I need a bit of help.

Cheers

Post it on the sourceforge dotmods page as a patch, or send me your sourceforge details and I'll get you commit access. My address is my handle at dotproject dot net.

The code was initially developed by CaseySoftware LLC. Who owns the code right now?

The general principle is that the copyright is owned by the original developer, although if your changes are more than just bug fixes you can claim copyright on those parts you have written. If there is a copyright notice you can add a note to the bottom that certain parts have been modified by xxx.

I'd like to make some enhancements - namely, adding a risk response strategy, calculating the risk impact, and adding a list of action items related to the risk response.

No, you are free to add what you want, that is the joy of open source.

No problems, Massimo, welcome to the fold!
