A bunch of issues...
I've been too busy for a while to deal with PP, but I've made a list!
- Does the Fixed (Node 588) - Fixed DB scheme for storing timezone have anything to do with the inability to account for daylight savings time?
- Uploading large files results in a 404 for the resulting URL This happens for files that are below the PHP size limit. Any clue how to fix this?
- Is there a way to get all of the attachments added to a message, all to show up in one place?
- How about the ability for admin to manage subscribers on a specific task. (Currently they can be added when created, but not after that point.) This is the “Email notification” box on the New Message page.
I've made some changes to PP just to get me by for the time being. My issue, the same as others have had is that clients cannot create projects (only admin/company owners can.) So I reworked the nav so that client simply creates new messages. This results in a discussion thread about the project which works well. I've disabled the Tasks tab as it's not very useful (all tasks need to have a discussion around them.)
The problem with using Messages for this, is that there's no way to mark the Message as done. Anyone know of a way to do this?
Thanks
1) No. The timezone is specified in hours, so the offset is always going to be the same (relative to whatever timezone php's date and times are in). Thus, DST is never really properly accounted for in the first place.
2) Increase the PHP size limit?
Regarding the clients not being able to create the projects... Would be a bit odd for a client to create one. Though looks like you've found a good workaround for your needs.
As for marking messages as done... perhaps you could edit afterwards, disable comments and perhaps even prefix "DONE" onto the subject.
1) any idea what it would take to make it so time could be adjustable in the admin? Even if I could just set an adjustment to server time.
2) Yeah, I increased it to 100MB but still files of ~40MB+ are ending up at 404's
3) The thing is, if I've got 20 messages in there and three quarters are completed, just editing them doesn't move the uncompleted ones to the front/top. So I need some way to reorganize the way are displayed.
1) this will either be addressed in future issues with a reworking of how we handle time, or you'll need to address it by managing your server's time directly. A hack like that would not be an acceptable solution.
2) is most likely a problem with your apache conf. you'll likely need to increase the packet timeout, or the allowed packet size
3) look at the patch that enables comments on tasks.
For a couple of these things to be address sooner rather than later? ;)
Also, I've searched and searched but can't seem to find the patches. I found this http://www.projectpier.org/patch/apply but another page says "This also means that a SVN-account is not required to supply patches"
So I'm confused on if I actually need to go through the whole process of getting SVN setup if I just want to install a patch.
also, each user can control their own subscription status after the creation of a message (both add and remove). Just email the user a link to the message if you require notifying them of the thread, but it should be noticed from their recent activity interface.
Yeah, I just want to be able to add and remove users at will.
