Project Tools - Create Project Managers who get PM on New or Replies to issues
Mod Version: 1.10, by Quarterbore (Coder/Designer) Quarterbore is offline
Developer Last Online: Aug 2020 I like it Show Printable Version Email this Page

This modification is in the archives.
vB Version: 3.6.8 Rating: (4 votes - 4.75 average) Installs: 22
Released: 15 Aug 2007 Last Update: 16 Aug 2007 Downloads: 84
Not Supported DB Changes Uses Plugins Template Edits Code Changes Is in Beta Stage  

I am a new customer to vBulletin Project tools but I was very disapointed to discover that there was no notification when a new issue was added or replied to in vBulletin Projects.

What does this do?

This modification will create a new field in your projects database where "project managers" as determined by their username is stored. These "project managers" will get PMs when a new issue is added to the system and/or they will get a PM when a reply is posted to a topic that they are the project manager for.

How do I install this?

Step 1: Download the attached product file and install it like you install any vBulletin product file.

Step 2: Then you need to perform the following code edits:

OPEN FILE: admincp/projects.php

FIND:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

REPLACE WITH


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

FIND


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

REPLACE WITH:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

FIND


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

AFTER ADD


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.


OPEN FILE: includes/class_dm_pt_project.php

FIND:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

REPLACE WITH:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Please note, I am posting this early as I need this capability for my own site and I am hoping to get some feedback on how I can improve this. I just coded it this evening and I only have one vBulletin Projects license so I have only tested this on my one site but I believe this should work for anyone...

Version History:
Version 1.0
- First Release
Version 1.1
- Now a project manager will not get a PM about their OWN new posts or replies to posts.

Can you confirm your code edits? Your error is in the area where you needed to add the "managers" value to the "clean array" function so I assume you have a typo.

The code hack is the first set of FIND and REPLACE posted above in the /admincp/project.php file.

The code on your site should look like this:

What file versions are you editing? I was able to re-apply the the file edits and import the project xml, but I don't see anything when editing or adding a project.

My project.php file version is: RCS: $Revision: 17792 $
My class_dm_pt_project.php file version is: RCS: $Revision: 17792 $

Hmmm, looks like I forgot to add a file edit...

I have updated the directions in the original post. Note that I added the code where it says "ADD AFTER" and this will give you a field where you can actually add the Project Managers.

Sorry for the confusion!

OK, I updated the script so that now it will check if the new topic or the reply to the topic was posted by one of project managers. If the post was made by one of the project managers, that project manager will now NOT get a notification that they posted a new topic or reply

I narrowed this issue down to this mod...

When assigning a username to a Task or a Feature, I get the following Fatal Error:


Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)  
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

What's strange is that the user still ends up being assigned to the Task or Feature?!?! So far, this only appears to be an issue with Task and Feature Assignment. I don't see the error on Bug Assignments.

If I disable the mod, all's well.

Hi

Thanks for the add-on. Anyway to have more custom subjects in the PM? Like the title of the post? I was able to customize the static text via the phrase manager. Also, anyway to differentiate subjects between the initial post and replies?

Thanks, Jerry

Well I have 2 suggestions:

1-Now that we have managers per category, why not auto assign the project to them in addition of sending PM?

2-In admincp, instead of having to type the names, why not use the same pre polutated javascript box when assigning managers?

I changed my own copy back to do that anyway, so it works more like JIRA. Would be nice to have this as an option if you have time in some future release.

Thanks, by the way! PT sorely needs this functionality.

Great mod!

1. Can you add an option to get instant notification via email directly instead of the PM?
2. It would also be nice if you could include the title of the issue and perhaps some of the text included in the PM/email.
3. A direct link to the issue would also be great.

It would be a brilliant extension for this mod - i agree to wcm -

This could be very useful.
