Task Commenting Hack - files updated

1, 2, 3

After working with tickets for a day: briefly, what we want is a container (task list, tickets, whatever you want to call it) with subtasks that CAN THEMSELVES BE COMMENTED ON. A 'task' can quickly balloon into many subtasks, and many of these can lead to involved, linked discussions. This is VERY hard to track in the current format.

In fact, as I am moving tasklists to tickets, it is quite frustrating that I cannot comment on the tasklists or embedded tasks, simply to say "moved to X location" instead of "completed."

As an admin, I should have control to set author of items (OK, I can hack the SQL ...)

More later.

rainhard:
I'm having a problem with permissions when using the "Task Commenting Hack":

I have 3 users assigned to one project. User1 assigns a task to User2, User2 adds a comment to this task. The problem is, that User3, who wants to have a look what is going on in this task, doesn't have the permission to access "task details". This is a problem because User3, who is also familiar with this project could add some valuable input, even if the task is not assigned to him.

How and what could I change in the configuration so that every user assigned to a specific project can access and comment all tasks in this project?


Hi,
i´m experiencing same problem as rainhard, client users are not able to add comments on tasks assigned to any of the members, getting a "You don't have permissions to access requested page" error message. For tasks assigned to "Anyone" comments are allowed instead.

Any update on this?

Thanks in advance,

patricio's issue seems different that mine.

We've been trying to track how we deal with issues/etc and give some more substantive feedback than the above, so for now I'll hold off.

Thanks,

Ken

Did the hack make into subsequent releases? (ability to attach notes to a task and have it viewable to all)

Instead of commentable checklist tasks, we have added tickets to activeCollab 1.0. Tickets support both comments and attachments, as well as subtasks.
Follow @activecollab and activeCollab on Facebook.

Looks great, I modified some files to add textile support as well to the description field of a task_list

in TaskController.class.php add the following:
- line 31 after function index() { : $this->addHelper('textile');
- line 44 after function view_list() { : $this->addHelper('textile');

in views/task/task_list.php:
- line 33 replace clean with do_textile
