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,

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,
--p

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.

In this case it's not so bad to be a little over-designed, since it makes it a little easier for myself and others to modify your code to suit our needs.

Good point with the language. I forgot that I only have to worry about English. If anyone needs other languages, or you just want to do it right, you should use this instead:

echo $task->countComments() . " " . ($task->countComments() == 1 ? lang('comment') : lang('comments'))

(comment(s) should already be in the language files)

A minor problem with this peace of code:

echo $task->countComments() . ($task->countComments() == 1 ? " comment" : " comments")

Is that it is not multi-lang friendly. If you are using English translation that it's not a problem :)

I enabled debugging and got this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method ProjectTask::getViewUrl() in C:\xampplite\htdocs\activecollab\application\controllers\CommentController.class.php on line 94

I checked ProjectTask.class.php and sure enough, it did not have getViewUrl() implemented, so I created my own:

function getViewUrl() {
  return $this->getDetailsUrl();
} // getViewUrl


and it fixed the error. While I was at it, I noticed the task list will say "1 Comments," if there is only 1.. If you're a perfectionist too, you can fix that on line 57 of views/task/task_list.php with:

echo $task->countComments() . ($task->countComments() == 1 ? " comment" : " comments")



Sidenote: Ilija, I've been a programmer for many years, and from what I've seen so far, your design is outstanding

Thanks for any input!

PS:
I realize that User3 can access "task details" if the task is assigned to the "firm", but we want to keep tasks assigned to one specific user, who is then responsible for resolving the task.

i know i've seen a comment or two in the forums, but the page you linked to isn't linked from the website anymore. I am pretty sure both the developement and code/documentation links on the website were removed without any notice, so that might be why he hasn't seen that page. Hope that helps.
